Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
A Month of Remembrance and Thanksgiving – Embracing November in Our Catholic Faith
As November arrives, we Catholics step into a season filled with remembrance, gratitude, and reflection. It’s a month where we honor the saints, remember our departed loved ones, and focus on the blessings God has provided us. November invites us to embrace our faith with a deeper understanding of life’s transitory nature and the eternal hope we hold in Christ. Let’s explore the meaning and traditions of November, a month rich in spiritual significance.
All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day: Honoring the Communion of Saints November begins with two special feasts that set a tone of reverence and reflection. On November 2, All Saints’ Day, we celebrate the saints—known and unknown—who have gone before us in faith. We remember those holy men and women who lived lives of heroic virtue, giving us examples to follow. Saints like St. Francis of Assisi, St. Therese of Lisieux, and many others inspire us with their love for God and humanity. Their lives remind us that we are all called to holiness, each in our unique way, and that sainthood is not beyond our reach.
