As Catholic women, we often meet Mary not just in prayer, but in the quiet moments of our work — when a project feels impossible, when wisdom is needed in a meeting, or when we must speak truth with grace.

On November 2, we celebrate the Commemoration of All Souls Day. The Church calls us to pray for the souls in purgatory awaiting sanctification. This is the day that the Church Militant — the faithful on earth — can assist the Church Suffering  — souls in purgatory  — through offered prayers, sacrifices, and Mass.
