All Souls’ Day is the commemoration of the souls of all our faithful departed brothers and sisters in Christ. It is an annual celebration on November 2. Christians all over the world lit candles to remember and pray for deceased family, friends, relatives, loved ones and others in Purgatory.
Responsorial Psalm 26(27): 1, 4, 7, 8-9
Response: The Lord is my light and my help.
The Lord is my light and my help;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
before whom shall I shrink?
Response: The Lord is my light and my help.
There is one thing I ask of the Lord,
for this I long,
to live in the house of the Lord,
all the days of my life,
to savour the sweetness of the Lord,
to behold his temple.
Response: The Lord is my light and my help.
O Lord, hear my voice when I call;
have mercy and answer.
It is your face, O Lord, that I seek;
hide not your face.
Response: The Lord is my light and my help.
