According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC, 1030-1032), prayer is the most powerful and essential offering for the souls of the faithful departed. These prayers, along with sacrifices and the offering of the Mass, help purify these souls and hasten their journey to heaven. This is considered the greatest spiritual work of mercy we can offer them.

The Church teaches that the most effective ways to help the souls in Purgatory are:

-Having a Mass offered for the departed.

-Praying the Rosary for them.

-Gaining indulgences (a remission of temporal punishment) and applying them to the souls in Purgatory.

-Offering personal sacrifices and acts of charity in their name.

Halad / alay is a practice that has pre-colonial, indigenous roots, stemming from beliefs that the spirits of the dead journey and require sustenance (pabaon). The practice of packing the deceased loved ones’ favorite foods and bringing them to cemeteries, believing that food offerings keep the departed loved ones well-fed in their journey to the afterlife, is incompatible with the teaching of the Church because their souls no longer have their physical bodies and, therefore, cannot consume or be helped by physical food (CCC 366, 1016).

Their needs are purely spiritual, which is why the Church teaches us to help them with the spiritual "suffrages" of prayers, the Mass, and works of penance (CCC 1032).

𝙈𝙞𝙭𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝘾𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘 𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙥𝙧𝙚-𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙣 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙨𝙮𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙢.

However, when families and friends gather at a grave to share a meal, incorporating it with prayers and vigil, and spending time with their departed loved ones by sharing stories and keeping their memory alive, these are beautiful ways to love, honor, and remember them, rather than leaving food on the grave with the belief that the spirit will physically consume it or needs it for a journey.

Stay informed and let us always pray for the souls in Purgatory.

Stay safe during this Undas!

𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗡, 𝗔 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗡 𝗖𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡?

In the Catholic Church, Halloween (October 31) is the first day of a three-day celebration known as Allhallowtide (Oct. 31 - Nov. 2) . It is the day set as the vigil preparation for the Solemnity of All Saints. It’s about a joyful preparation rather than a thrilling one.

The essence of this celebration of Halloween is to imitate the HEROES OF OUR FAITH, who are the Saints. And its deepest meaning is not just to imitate their costumes, but even more so, their practices and good examples, so that little by little, we may conform to their virtues and reach our destination: the eternal kingdom of God.

As the Diocese of Tagum - Ditascom stated in their Facebook post:

"Halloween is not a night for frightening the masses; rather, it is a night for holy people. Halloween is not about fear; rather, it is a call to holiness. Halloween is not about ghosts with faces like ghouls and forms that belong to hell; rather, Halloween is for the saints, the servants of our Lord, so that their holiness may be imitated by many people."

As the Scripture says, “Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith” (Hebrews 13:7).

This contrasts with the spooky secular celebration of Halloween, where people, especially younger ones, dress as scary monsters and demons.

Halloween is for the holy ones! It is not a pagan, spooky celebration.
