A graphic featuring an image of a lit candle. The text says: "All Souls' Day Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you." Psalm 33:22
An image of a lit candle with a prayer: "Faithful God, our strength and our consolation in times of grief, pour out your love upon us as we place all our hope in you. Welcome those we have lost into the light of your face, and grant us comfort in our faith, that every tear shall be wiped away. Lead us in your ways, Lord, of compassion and mercy, following in the footsteps of those who have gone before us. Draw us closer to you, day by day, and hold us in your steadfast love, as we journey onwards through life, filled with hope for a better world. Amen."
With today being All Souls', it's a time for prayer and remembrance. π―οΈ
See how we're marking the occasion and the range of remembrance prayers we have available. ‡οΈ

A picture showing an image of Saint John Henry Newman dressed in red that looks as though it's on the side of a wall in a church. "Doctor of the Church John Henry Newman"
A quote that looks like it's on the wall of a church in the place where the image of St John Henry Newman previously was. "God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons.β
Today, Pope Leo XIV will proclaim Saint John Henry Newman as the 38th Doctor of the Church. It's a recognition for saints who have contributed through research and study.
He saw education as a sacred vocation and remains influential on Catholic schools today.
