November: A Month of Saints and Souls

7th Nov 2025

November is a special time in the Church calendar—a month dedicated to remembering and honoring those who have gone before us in faith. It begins with All Saints’ Day, when we celebrate the saints who inspire us to live good and loving lives. The very next day, All Souls’ Day, invited us to pray for all the faithful departed, especially our loved ones, trusting in God’s mercy and the hope of eternal life.  

Throughout November, we are reminded that we are part of a great family of believers—past, present, and future. It’s a time to reflect on the gift of life, to cherish those around us, and to keep alive the memory of those who have shaped our journey. In our prayers, we hold them close, knowing that love never ends.   

Dear Jesus, 
Thank You for the saints who show us how to love You. 
Bless all the people we remember this month. 
Help us to be kind and bring peace to others every day. 
Amen.
