Happy All Hallow's Eve - a chance to meditate on those things we usually keep 'in the dark.' We'll learn a bit about the tradition of Souling and Soul Cakes and then revisit an episode all about Praying for the Dead. We'll do a deep dive into the eerie melancholy and beauty of graveyards and why we should go pray, read poetry, and spend time in churchyards among the Dead.  Why graveyards can be peaceful and romantic - the importance of 'memento mori' - and three famous 'graveyard poems.' Ending the episode with some fantastic music from some bluegrass loving Friars. 
 
Happy Triduum!

"It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins."
Macabees 12:46
 
Prayer for Eternal Rest (The Requiem Prayer)
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen
