THE COMMEMORATION OF ALL THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED (ALL SOULS)
This day of commemoration began early in the Middle Ages with annual prayers for the dead in monastic communities. Fixed on this day, it spread more widely after the tenth century and now ranks with the principal feast days in the liturgical calendar. Commonly known as All Souls, it expresses Christian faith in the communion of saints and our need to pray for one another in the Church, especially the souls in purgatory.

First Reading ‡ Isaiah 25:6-9
The Lord God will destroy death for ever.

Responsorial ‡ Psalm 26:1.4.13-14
The Lord is my light and my salvation.
or
I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.

Having been justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s anger through him.

Gospel [Year A] ‡ Matthew 11:25-30

Gospel [Year B] ‡ Mark 15:33-39; 16:1-6
