Why All Souls Day Matters: Praying for the Faithful Departed | ALIVE

In this episode of Alive, Fr. Jonathan Meyer helps us prepare for All Souls Day — a time to remember and pray for our loved ones who have gone before us.

He shares the beauty of praying for the souls in purgatory, the unity of the Church Triumphant, Suffering, and Militant, and reminds us that being fully alive means living with joy and gratitude in the love of God.

 

This week’s “Living Joy” focus:

• Love yourself as God loves you.

• Make time for joy — sing, dance, laugh, and live fully!

 

🕯️ Be Alive. Be a Saint. Be Fully His.

💬 Watch, reflect, and share with a friend who could use a little hope today.
