All Souls' Day Cultural Significance
All Souls' Day in the Church is a day of prayer and remembrance for all the faithful departed.
The Church teaches that our prayers, sacrifices, and offering Masses can help the souls on their journey to eternal peace with God.
According to Father Joseph Kanatt of the Missionary Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, it is an act of love, mercy, and solidarity with those who have gone before us.
- It reminds Catholics that they are on a pilgrimage towards eternal life.
- Death is not the end but a passage to new life with God.
- Prayers have real power to help others, as the living and dead are connected in Christ.
Father Kanatt shared how All Souls' Day was observed in his culture in Kerala, in the south of India.
