C&SI - Memento Mori - Remembering the dead - 10 Nov 2024 (S04E49)

On this weeks podcast Shane and John share some thoughts on November as the month of the dead and reflect on how it can both challenge and console us. We have our regular reflections on the Sunday gospel (Mark 12:38-44) about the widow's mite. We have our weekly prayer space and a run through the up coming week's liturgical odds and ends. Memento Mori - Remembering the deadIn the Roman Catholic tradition November is the month of the Holy Soul's where we pray for those who have left this mortal world but may not enjoy full the vision of God. November can be a hard month for many people as we recall the memory of our beloved dead - for the dead can drive you hard. But with the darkening of days and the drawing in of nights it seems to be an appropriate time to reflect and pray for our dead as the year and seasons move towards the death of winter. It is the time of year when we can reflect on our encounters with Sister Death and ultimately an encounter which we will all have.This weeks programme we reflect on grief for those who have had an encounter with death and also a small reminder for us all to reflect that death comes to us all - one day.Text us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
