Comforting those who mourn

By Leela Ramdeen, Chair, CCSJ & Director, CREDI

 “Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come”—Rabindranath Tagore

November is the month dedicated to those who have died. November 2, All Souls’ Day, is commemorated the day after All Saints’ Day.
One of the Spiritual Works of Mercy is to pray for the dead and entrust them to God’s mercy. We pray, offer alms, and Masses for the release of the souls in Purgatory. We pray that all those who have died will rest in the bosom of our Lord as saints.
