Since the 16th century Catholic piety has assigned entire months to special devotions. As a reminder of our duty to pray for those who have gone before us, the Church has dedicated the month of November to the Holy Souls.
Around 530 AD, the rule of St. Benedict assigned the De Profundis to be recited at the beginning of the vespers on Tuesday. It is a penitential psalm that is also sung in commemoration of the dead, and it is also a good psalm to express our sorrow as we prepare for the Sacrament of Confession.

VOTIVE CANDLES FOR YOUR INTENTIONS
You are invited to come into the church to light votive candles at our Blessed Mother shrine for your own intentions, or in memory of your loved ones.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A MASS SAID FOR SOMEONE?
A lovely way to remember a deceased loved one, a recently deceased friend, parent of a friend, or relative, or someone who is ill, or perhaps just a friend you would like to honor, is to have a Mass said for them. Each day and weekend a Mass is offered in memory of a deceased person, or for the intentions of someone who is ill, or perhaps whose birthday is that day.
If you would like to have a Mass said for someone, you can contact the parish office at 310-454-1328, come in person, or email jane@corpuschristichurch.com with the name of the person, if they are deceased or living, and if you are requesting a specific date. Please note that the annual Mass book fills up quickly, and often specific dates are booked well in advance. You can pick up a card to send to the person or their family so they will know when the Mass is being said, and that you are thinking of them. We can also mail the card for you. We would love to honor your request, so give us a call!
As always, our priests are available to anoint those who are very ill and to bury the dead. Please call the parish office, 310-454-1328, and you will be directed to our emergency pager number.
God Bless You All and Keep You Well!
