Remember my little rant a few weeks ago about the loss of the proper perspective on All Soul's Day?
Thinking about All Souls Day
Fr. Z has found a real life example:
A very sad Fr. Z and the promise of a Mass
I've been to funerals where the deceased has been "canonized" by the priest during the Mass: "I'm sure that [insert name here] is in Heaven." We can certainly hope that they are, but we can't know for sure until they are officially canonized by the Church. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
So, please pray for the dead. And this weekend on Christ the King you can get another opportunity to try to obtain a plenary indulgence for a soul in Purgatory. Stay tuned ...
