Keep the Prayers Going: November for the Holy Souls
In the Catholic tradition, November is a time to remember all those who have died, especially our loved ones. Your prayers, reflections, and small acts of kindness can still make a huge difference. Let’s take these last days of November to finish with a prayerful heart and a strong connection to God and those we love.
Here’s a simple prayer to continue praying for souls:
“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.“
Take just a minute or two each day to offer this prayer for someone who needs it. We pray for them and the repose of their souls, and celebrate their lives. We also remember all those who left this life alone, with no one to pray for them.
All staff, students and families of Sydney Catholic Schools are encouraged to use and share this Online Book of Remembrance to record the names of your family, friends and loved ones who have passed, so that as a community we might remember them in our prayers. Please click on the above link.
