Today is a special day set aside by the Church to pray for the holy souls in Purgatory. You can learn what the Church teaches about Purgatory here.
Let us pray for the faithful departed in a special way today:
God, our creator and redeemer,
by your power Christ conquered death
and returned to you in glory.
May all your people who have gone before us in faith
share his victory and enjoy the vision of your glory for ever,
where Christ lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
(From the Office for the Dead)
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the rest in peace. Amen.
