As you go throughout the day and even upcoming weeks, please keep my friend, Kelly, in your thoughts and prayers. She died yesterday morning and leaves behind two sweet boys. She was a wonderful mother. Her life ended early due to breast cancer.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Prayers for the Faithful Departed
Prayer for the dead is one of the greatest acts of charity we can perform. Our prayers help them during their time in Purgatory, so that they can enter more quickly into the fullness of heaven. These prayers are especially suited for offering a novena on behalf of the dead, or for praying during those seasons of the year (November, in the Western Church; Lent, in the Eastern Church) designated by the Church as times of fervent prayer for the faithful departed.
