^{All Souls Day 2025}
The Commemoration of the Faithful Departed is not only for the benefit of the Church Suffering, but also for the benefit of all living Catholics.  Throughout the liturgy of this Mass, we are reminded of our own future judgment and how we too may be in need of the prayers of the living.  We must always remember that God is both infinitely merciful and infinitely just, and that He will demand an account, not only of our sins, but even of our time wasted.  Today is our reminder that we too must die one day, and that we must use the time God has allotted to us for the removal of sin, and the punishment due to it, from our souls.
