The month of November is dedicated to the Holy Souls. This saint is an inspiration and a friend to help us in our devotion.
In this month of November, which is dedicated to the Souls in Purgatory, we are reminded of the Church’s call for us to pray for the Holy Souls. One of the saints of November, St. Gertrude the Great, is famous for her shining example in assisting the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Much of what we learn through St. Gertrude the Great can help us to have refreshed zeal for November’s liturgical theme.
Her feast day is November 16, right in the heart of the month. And this is a saint who helps us put more of our heart into our faith, whether it’s through our devotion to the Sacred Heart or our heartfelt charity offered to those suffering in Purgatory.
There is a multitude of beautiful ways to do just that.
