Nov. 7 Saturday of the Thirty-First Week of Ordinary Time, Weekday

The month of November is dedicated to the Souls in Purgatory. Is it not sad but true that the living so soon forget the dead? We forget when we live, we are forgotten when we die. “Lay my body anywhere,” pleaded the dying St. Monica with her son, St. Augustine, “only this I beg of you: remember me at the altar of God.”
