The Church dedicates the month of November to the Holy Souls in Purgatory. "November begins with two beautiful days: the Feasts of All Saints and All Souls. Holy Mother Church remembers all of her children, to whom she has given the life of Jesus through Baptism ...We all know that during this whole month we give them extra love and care, by praying to them and for them." St. Teresa of Calcutta We are especially reminded to pray for the dead and implore God's mercy for those who have not yet achieved eternal happiness. For them, the Church celebrates the Holy Mass, Rosary prayer and indulgences.
