Editor’s note: reminder that anyone who devoutly visits a cemetery during the Octave (between November 1st and 8th), praying — even mentally — for the departed, may obtain one plenary indulgence per day, applicable only to the souls in Purgatory, under the usual conditions. From the Patristic readings at Matins in the Roman office: ℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing. Benediction.
