All Souls' Day, also known as the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed and the Day of the Dead, is a day of prayer and remembrance for the souls of those who have died, observed by Christians globally on Nov 2. "The masses at our parish today are offered for all the departed souls who are either buried or interred at the Kelawai Road cemetery," Father Miranda added. Ahead of the blessing of the graves and columbarium niches, the flowers were placed and candles lit, as symbolic acts to remember all those who have died, and especially those with unmarked graves and no family to visit.

Why Edith Stein is the perfect saint for All Souls Day (and a world ... (America Magazine)

When we die, if we have not yet become someone capable of receiving God, then God, in mercy, allows us to complete the process. “Come, Rosa, we are going for our people.” The sisters would die a few months later in Auschwitz. “Come, Rosa, we are going for our people.” God creates us for love, so God creates us in time, in a becoming. As we say in the opening of the vigil for the departed, “we believe that all the ties of friendship and affection which knit us as one throughout our lives do not unravel with death.” Hence, the dead still pray for us, and we still pray for them. Even if they have been worthy of God, for most souls the answer is still quite simple: time to get ready.
