FAITH
All Souls' Day Mass at St. Joan of Arc Chapel to be livestreamed on November 2
This month is set aside to remember in prayer our deceased relatives and friends. The Catholic Church sets aside November 2 as “a commemoration of all the faithful departed,” but this commemoration continues throughout the month.
Marquette University will sponsor an All Souls’ Day Mass at Noon on November 2 in the St. Joan of Arc Chapel. We will have scrolls listing the names of over 1200 alumni, family and friends who have passed away in the last year on the altar that day.
The Mass will be livestreamed on the Mission and Ministry Facebook page.
How are ways that we can remember our loved ones?
Prayer: It is through prayer that we encounter the Risen Lord and know He is with us. In prayer, we do not pray alone. We pray as a member of the Body of Christ which includes those on earth as well as those gone before us. In our prayer we are in union with them.
Thanksgiving: Those who have gone before us have shared their life, their love and their faith with us. In being grateful for them, we are invited to notice their fingerprints on our hearts and in our souls.
Good Works: As we are the hands and heart of Christ reaching out in sacramental ways (notice the small "s") to our brothers and sisters to serve, to heal and to respect, so we continue the good work of those who have gone before us by doing what they did in serving others.
Autumn prayer
God of all seasons, we thank you for Autumn.
We thank you for the touch of coolness in the air that gives us a new burst of energy,
for the coloring of trees that shows the creativity of the Divine Artist,
for the falling leaves that reveal the strength of the branches. Read more.
