November Devotion - The Holy Souls
I want to take the children to Mass & the cemetary on the way home tomorrow to do this devotion.
Toties Quoties Indulgence
From noon today on All Saints Day through midnight of All Souls Day tomorrow the Catholic faithful, as often as they visit a church or Catholic cemetery to pray for the dead, reciting six times during each visit the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be for the intentions of Holy Mother Church may gain a plenary indulgence applicable only to the souls in Purgatory, under the usual conditions of making a good Confession within a week before or after, worthily receiving Holy Communion within the week and having the right intention of heart. This is called the Toties Quoties Indulgence.

Indulgences for All Souls Week
An indulgence, applicable only to the Souls in Purgatory, is granted to the faithful, who devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed. The indulgence is plenary each day from the first to the eighth of November; on other days of the year it is partial.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A plenary indulgence, applicable only to the Souls in Purgatory, is granted to the faithful, who on the day dedicated to the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed [November 2 {as well as on the Sunday preceding or following, and on All Saints' Day}] piously visit a church. In visiting the church it is required that one Our Father and the Creed be recited.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To acquire a plenary indulgence it is necessary also to fulfill the following three conditions: sacramental Confession, Eucharistic communion, and prayer for the intention of the Holy Father. The three conditions may be fulfilled several days before or after the performance of the visit; it is, however, fitting that communion be received and the prayer for the intention of the Holy Father be said on the same day as the visit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The condition of praying for the intention of the Holy Father is fully satisfied by reciting one Our Father and one Hail Mary. A plenary indulgence can be acquired only once in the course of the day.
The children will like doing this.
I am looking forward to having St.Patrick's up here close to our home, we will be able to more easily (and economically) attend daily mass.

Love this website for little fun things to tell the children.
When I am working out my liturgical/lesson plans for the month, I pull out all of my resources and list what feasts, holidays and such in the coming month. I list everything - print the resources I think I will use and file in them all in a 3 ring binder called CURRENT MONTH.
With my parents moving in, I have the advantage to have most of my books right here in my master bedroom.
:0)
Tomorrow, I will pull out all the things in my 365 files - November section. I will go through and see what needs to be tossed, what I want to use, what to file away for another year - and just what I have. At the end of each month, I just file the resources for the finished month without really going through it too much. I toss obvious trash, but don't worry about it until next go round.
