All Saints and All Souls


All Saints (1 November) and All Souls (2 November) are related Solemnities. They both honour the faithful who have died. All Saints celebrates those who enjoy fullness of life in eternity because of their holy lives. All Souls focuses on the faithful who are destined for life in eternity after purification (Purgatory). Catholics believe that the souls of these faithful can be assisted by the prayers of the iving. The Saints, the Souls in Purgatory and the living faithful comprise the complete Church community.
