Dear Friends
All Souls Day today, a public holiday in the Philippines and other countries.
Because
of the scandal of Indulgences at the time of Martin Luther,
many Christian groups don't believe in praying for the dead
But
in all cultures there are special days for remembering the dead,
for hoping/wishing/praying they are at peace
Whatever
mess church leaders make of praying for the dead,
our hearts, our instincts, tell us that it is good to wish the dead
"eternal peace", "eternal rest", "eternal
life"....to visit graves on this day, on anniversaries, or at any time

My Bible Plan for today =
The
readings for All Souls Day.
Let's pray for the Dead today...not just "the souls of the faithful
departed"
but "for all the dead" (as in Mass prayer)
Thank you for a prayer
God bless!
