All Souls Day...Nov. 2

If you are a Catholic who practices plenary indulgences like this...you know you are participating in a works based religion, not the one that Jesus taught his disciples. Paul wrote, "It is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not of yourselves, but a gift of God not of works so that no one can boast." Eph 2:8

From Catholic Culture: "All Souls Day
should also be sober, reminding the children to make sacrifices for the dead. At least one Mass should be attended and the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary prayed. A visit to the graveyard can gain a plenary indulgence as well as teach a vivid and interesting lesson.

There are plenary indulgences, applicable only to the souls in Purgatory, that can be obtained during this time. One plenary indulgence can be obtained by devoutly visiting a cemetery and praying for the departed between November 1 and November 8. For more details see Praying for the Dead and Gaining Indulgences" Catholic culture.org

(Holly again) Jesus died because we never could nor never would be able to work enough to gain entrance for ourselves or anyone else into heaven. Thank the Father that He was enough.
