Happy All Souls Day.
It is good to remember that we are not perfect, and that in heaven we will be. Therefore it is necessary for our imperfections to be purified. We must be tested in fire so that only that which is configured to Christ remains. Thank God for the merciful gift of purgatory.

The Preface of All Saints is especially beautiful. As a priest I was able to say it 3 times yesterday. I'm sure the average person in the pews doesn't hear it very clearly. Here it is for you to meditate upon.

Today we keep the festival of your holy city,
the heavenly Jerusalem, our mother.
Around your throne the saints, our brothers and sisters, sing your praise forever.
Their glory fills us with joy,
and their communion with us in your Church gives us inspiration and strength
as we hasten on our pilgrimage of faith, eager to meet them.
With their great company and all the angels we praise your glory as we cry out with one voice.

This would be great to read each day to remind us that we are marching off to battle in a great army under a great King.
