Tempus Fugit, Memento Mori

As we head into All Saints and All Souls Days, right on the edge of another Advent season, the Church turns our thoughts to comtemplating our perpetual watchwords: time flies, remember death. Here's a good article by Marcellino D'Ambrosio that talks about Church teaching on purgatory and offers a download of prayers for the dead. Read it.

All Saints/Soul is a very big deal in Poland, where candles light up cemetaries all over the country for days. Here is a short description of the day in Poland and a Krakow tourist's blog entry here.
