Pope Benedict XVI said that “praying for one’s departed loved ones is a far too immediate urge to be suppressed…a most beautiful manifestation of solidarity, love, and assistance, reaching beyond the barrier of death. The happiness or unhappiness of a person dear to me, who has now crossed to the other shore, depends in part on whether I remember or forget him, he does not stop needing my love.” Let this month be a time to extend our love to those who have died.
