Grant Them Rest

Greg the byzantine said:

I hope you don't mind me asking in this thread but..

I am extremely fond of praying for the dead and I am familiar with the ways the Orthodox church commemorates the dead.

I was interested in finding out in what ways the Catholic Church commemorates the dead, and the traditions related to it. For instance how a requiem mass is different from a regualr mass, or any services outside of Mass to commemorate the dead, as well as traditions etc.. I would be really interested in finding out if anyone could help explain.

I don't have time to give you much at this time (I have a few files to tend to before I leave work), but you can read a small tidbit on the Requiem Mass on my blog here.

The main purpose of this blog is to have Masses said and multitudes of people praying for the repose of those souls who have gone before us.

Please feel free to contact me at via PM if you have someone that you would like me to add to this site. (When sending me the person's info, please include a picture and a little bit about the person as well, especially their dates of entering and leaving this life.)

I pray that the prayers said for the souls who will be listed on this site be a source of great and necessary grace for them at the most important time of their lives - the hour of their death.


+Jesus, Mary and Joseph, save souls!
