This is my favorite holiday. Or perhaps tomorrow is.
Today is the Feast of All Saints - every soul in heaven is celebrated. We must know some of them.
Tomorrow is the Feast of All Souls. It celebrates every soul - those in heaven, those on earth, and those in other places. That includes us and everyone we’ve ever known and everyone we haven’t known.

There are some souls I could not celebrate. Bad me.

Me, too. Not many, but enough.

Since I was raised as a Roman Catholic {as was said then when I was a child} this was brought to my mind as I felt then...

I bet the All Souls Mass is beautiful.

I participate in Dia de los Muertos, more or less having roots in the same tradition. Missed it this year though.
I think it's an important tradition.
Halloween - not so much.

My MIL died on All Saints Day. I thought it was fitting. She was a wonderful woman.

I'm glad you and your motherinlaw got along well. Says a lot about both of you.
My motherinlaw and I got along ok - I wouldn't say well exactly. We had possession issues.
I hope I get along with my daughterinlaw - there was a rocky period but I think it's better now.

The priests tell me that all the souls that go to purgatory need some amount of prayer to finish their redemption. And all souls is a chance for the people who are unprayed over to have someone add a penny to the piggy bank.
It feels like a weird passive-aggressive sort of redemption though. For God so loved you that he died for your sins but then required you to queue up before paradise. (shrug) I am not good at my faith.
