What a privellege to honour and celebrate the lives of the Saints who are now in Heaven interceding for us.
These are men and women who lived the beatitudes in their life. They were far from perfect, yet strived all their lives for perfection through Jesus Christ our Lord. To be Holy as our Heavenly Father is Holy.
So then how much closer are we to becoming Saints as we are called to be. We entered into Holiness and became children of God our Heavenly Father. How then are we living as children of the light?
Let us not be discouraged but turn to the Holy Spirit who is with us to strengthen, counsel and guide us. And we have the Saints to call upon to aid us.
All you Saints and Angels in Heaven pray for us…

Apocalypse 7:2-4,9-14 ·
I saw a huge number, impossible to count, of people from every nation, race, tribe and language
I, John, saw another angel rising where the sun rises, carrying the seal of the living God; he called in a powerful voice to the four angels whose duty was to devastate land and sea, ‘Wait before you do any damage on land or at sea or to the trees, until we have put the seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.’ Then I heard how many were sealed: a hundred and forty-four thousand, out of all the tribes of Israel.
After that I saw a huge number, impossible to count, of people from every nation, race, tribe and language; they were standing in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palms in their hands. They shouted aloud, ‘Victory to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!’ And all the angels who were standing in a circle round the throne, surrounding the elders and the four animals, prostrated themselves before the throne, and touched the ground with their foreheads, worshipping God with these words, ‘Amen. Praise and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and power and strength to our God for ever and ever. Amen.’
One of the elders then spoke, and asked me, ‘Do you know who these people are, dressed in white robes, and where they have come from?’ I answered him, ‘You can tell me, my lord.’ Then he said, ‘These are the people who have been through the great persecution, and they have washed their robes white again in the blood of the Lamb.’

1 John 3:1-3 ·
We shall be like God because we shall see him as he really is
Think of the love that the Father has lavished on us, by letting us be called God’s children; and that is what we are.
Because the world refused to acknowledge him, therefore it does not acknowledge us.
My dear people, we are already the children of God but what we are to be in the future has not yet been revealed; all we know is, that when it is revealed we shall be like him
because we shall see him as he really is.
Surely everyone who entertains this4 hope must purify himself, must try to be as pure as Christ.

Matthew 5:1-12a
How happy are the poor in spirit
Seeing the crowds, Jesus went up the hill. There he sat down and was joined by his disciples. Then he began to speak. This is what he taught them:
‘How happy are the poor in spirit;
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Happy the gentle: they shall have the earth for their heritage.
Happy those who mourn:
they shall be comforted.
Happy those who hunger and thirst for what is right:
they shall be satisfied.
Happy the merciful:
they shall have mercy shown them.
Happy the pure in heart:
they shall see God.
Happy the peacemakers:
they shall be called sons of God.
Happy those who are persecuted in the cause of right:
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
‘Happy are you when people abuse you and persecute you and speak all kinds of calumny against you on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.’

PRAYERS FOR THE HOLY SOULS IN PURGATORY

WHAT YOU PROBABLY DON’T KNOW!!!
Do you know there is a plenary or total indulgence gained for kissing the holy Rosary? A kiss on the rosary from the heart gives you 500 days of plenary indulgence. Now learn other benefits. When you pray five decades of rosary you receive 10 yrs of plenary indulgence. When you go on rosary procession you receive 7 yrs of plenary indulgence. When you wear the rosary on your wrist, waist, or neck by way of external devotion you receive 100 days of plenary indulgence. How great would be the benefits of those who kiss the rosary severally, pray lots of decades, wear the rosary all the time, do lots of rosary procession! With all these indulgences your heavenly bank will be full and ready to help you on the day of last judgment. Many Catholics don’t know this because, in this present world true teachings are either not taught or hidden from the faithful. We live in a world full of errors. Congratulations to you then whom this revelation has been given. The holy Virgin Mary remains our teacher. Pls do a little sacrifice or work of Mercy by sharing with others to learn and benefit as well.

There is no such thing as 500 days of ‘plenary’ indulgence. It’s partial.
