For Christians, the true Temple is the Body of Christ. That term refers to the body of the Risen Christ and the Church. These two meanings, however, are more semantic than real. The Risen Lord is present and active in the community, His Church. When we are with Him, we become God's true Temple, for He works in us and through us.

The Catholic Church dedicates the entire month of November to praying in a special way for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. The Holy Souls (also called the Faithful Departed) are members of the Church who await the purification of their souls before joining the saints in Heaven for all eternity. Specifically, they are referred to as the Church Suffering (the saints in Heaven are the Church Triumphant, and the faithful on earth are the Church Militant). The poor souls in Purgatory cannot pray for themselves or do anything to hasten their entrance into Heaven, but we can and ought to pray for them as an act of charity. The feast of the Holy Souls is November 2. ... See MoreSee Less

All Souls' Day gives us a chance to reflect on God's love and on the way we view death. Nothing will separate us from God's love. Death (both symbolically in our self giving and literally) is the door to God's love. In God's love we are alive (both figuratively and literally). In Christ, we are all truly connected. On this day of remembrance, think of the ones you have lost in the light of Christ's death and pray for their souls.
Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home, and within my family. Amen. ... See MoreSee Less

The children were all lined up for their first confession when Little Johnny’s turn came. The priest asked him to confess his sins, and the boy promptly replied, “Father, I threw a stone at Jimmy.”
“That was a very misguided thing to do, my son,” said the priest patiently.
“It wasn’t misguided at all,” said Little Johnny. “I hit him.” ... See MoreSee Less
