Today, the All Souls Day is celebrated not just in the Philippines but all over the world. This is a day when the dearly departed are remembered through prayers, flower offerings, lighting of candles and visiting where they are interred. I thought about posting this photo because it signifies about people who may not be physically present to light candles where their departed loved ones are interred but can only offer a prayer for them. But that doesn’t mean they are forgotten.

I have written in an earlier post that death does not necessarily mean the loved one is lost forever. That even when people are gone, the loved shared will not be lost, destroyed nor forgotten and that it will forever be a part of who we are.

For the Catholic Church, this is a time to pray for the souls in purgatory.
