Today is All Souls Day, when we commend to God all those who have died. I invite you to commend to God especially the souls of all babies who have been aborted.
In his encyclical “The Gospel of Life” Pope John Paul II says this to the parents of aborted children: “To the Father and to his mercy you can with sure hope entrust your child”. We exercise “sure hope” because we know that St. Paul wrote that God wants all to be saved.
Baptism is the ordinary way to be born into God’s grace. But for those killed without baptism, we can still have sure hope. This weekend and always, let us entrust them to the Lord, who does not forget anyone that He creates, even when we do.

Please pray for all souls that are not in peace yet.. For my Grandma Laura, to my Aunt Dora. Friends Bruce, Hector Rene, Malena Condes. Grandma Kefgen, Grandma Apap. Cousin Rene Alvaro.. and all souls to rest in eternal peace.
Very peaceful…. thank you Father.
Fr. Frank,
A local Pro Life Priest, not that all shouldn’t be, said the Holy Father Pope JPII said about the aborted unborn, “They Are In The Lord.” Is this because there are 3 baptisms; blood, desire and water?
Have you heard this also?
With Jesus Crucified,
Mary
