Commemoration |
When November 1 falls on a Sunday, the Commemoration is celebrated on the following day.
Just as the love of Christ and the service of the Blessed Virgin Mary have
brought us together in a single family, fraternal charity unites those of us still
striving to lead a life of allegiance to Jesus Christ in this world, and those
already awaiting the vision of God in purgatory. Today the whole Order
commends our departed brothers and sisters to God's mercy through the
intercession of Our Lady, sure sign of hope and consolation, and begs for their
admission to the courts of heaven.
All as in the Breviary for November 2, except the following:

Prayer
Lord,
you are the glory of those who serve you.Look lovingly on our departed brothers and sisters,
united in following Christ and his Mother
by the waters of baptism and the bonds of Carmel.
In your mercy grant them everlasting sight of you
their Creator and Redeemer.
We ask this through our Lord.
