With this Solemnity, the Church proclaims Her faith that the true goal of human life is eternity with God. Christ, the Savior of the world, by His Sacrifice on the Cross transformed the despair of death into the hope of eternal bliss. Saints are those who following Christ on His Way of the Cross, taking their personal cross on their shoulders, relying on the help of God&#8217;s grace, through many falls, repentance, constancy in faith, hope and love, passed through the \u201cgates of death\u201d into the bright Kingdom of Christ and now constitute the Church in the Glory of God &#8211; that new world in where is no more death, no decay, no pain, no tears. They are the inhabitants of this world, outside of time, outside of the concepts familiar to our dimension, the world in which God is everything in everything, the world in which the only driving force is Divine Love. This love unites us, the Pilgrim Church, with the Heavenly Church \u2013 with the saints who tirelessly intercede for us if we turn to them for help, who have already gone our way, and sympathize with our earthly sufferings and weaknesses and wish to help us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Solemnity of All Saints is an obligatory holiday. On this day, the Church calls on the faithful to remember their patron saints, read the litany to all the saints, and thank the Lord God for all the blessings and mercy that we have received through the intercession of the saints.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2443 size-post-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/angel-cemetry-240x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/angel-cemetry-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/angel-cemetry-480x300.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>On November 2<\/strong>, having honored the glory of the faithful who are already rejoicing in the Kingdom of Heaven, the Church remembers all those who are in purgatory for their sins. To help them, the Church offers to the Lord God the prayers and indulgences received by the living faithful, and above all the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass. The commemoration of all the departed faithful was introduced by the Benedictine abbot in Cluny (France), St. Odilon in 998. Soon this custom spread throughout the Church<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the tradition established by the Church, in the first octave of November &#8211; from the 1st to the 8th &#8211; the faithful are given the opportunity to receive a plenar indulgence for souls in purgatory, subject to visiting any cemetery during this octave, praying for the departed, receiving the Saints the Sacraments of Confession and the Eucharist and prayer in the intentions of the Holy Father.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liturgical calendar for the next week&nbsp; 01 November, Tuesday, ALL SAINTS DAY&nbsp; 02 November, Wednesday, ALL SOULS DAY&nbsp; 03 November, Thursday, first Thursday of month&nbsp; 04 November, Friday, saint Charles [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2442,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-parish-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/All-Saints.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2441"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2441\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2444,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2441\/revisions\/2444"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
