All Souls

Nov 2, 2025    Fr. Ryan Kaup

'There is something in us that call to love beyond the grave.' In being confronted with death, we go through times of desperation and confusion. The love in hearts grows to prayer for those that have died. In this natural desire to pray, it points out to us that there is something else there.


In reflecting on Purgatory, we see that it is a final place of purifying fire from sin and its effects from ourselves and others. This is the final act of the Lord's mercy for us. The antidote for the fall. The place where all that is hidden comes to the light and is purified.


We pray for those souls to be able to go through the purifying fire, so they may see the full glory of God and live forever in His love.
