All Saints Day and All Souls Day

  November 1st was All Saints Day here in the west in the Roman Catholic Church. On this day all Catholic Honor all the Saints that are known as well as all the Saints that are unknown. No we do not worship them as some may think. In Catholic theology the day commemorates all those that have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. These people would have gone through Purgatory and were cleansed of all their sins. They would have been cleansed of all their venial sins as well as all their mortal sins. This is because no sin can enter Heaven, therefore it is cleansed before hand. Here are some excellent links to more information on All Saints Day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints'_Day ,  http://www.ewtn.com/saintsholy/saints/A/allsaintsday.asp .
 Here is video with music for All Saints Day. The best advise I can give is to read Books Written By Catholics on All Saints Day as well as for all subjects.

                                

   So today on November 2nd we are celebrating All Souls Day. All Souls Day is a day of prayer for the dead. It is also known as the commemoration of all the faithful departed. The prayer for the dead is documented in the Jewish Religion as well as in Early Christianity. On All Souls Day we are praying for those that have passed on, but may not have gone through purgatory or are in purgatory being cleansed of all their sins being venial or mortal. Here is a link to the Catholic Encyclopedia on All Souls Day http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01315b.htm . Here is another excellent link on information about All Souls Day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Souls%27_Day .

  Once again I would suggest to read Books Written By Catholics on All Saints Day and All Souls Day as well as all subjects. If you read something written by an author outside to the Catholic Church you will get an incorrect meaning of why Catholics celebrate various feast days and why. Here is an excellent video below with beautiful music just follow this link http://youtu.be/oNlgG_-wjpM.
  Thank You for Reading and watching the videos.
