"Madonna of the Purification of the Soul with Saints Francis and Clare" by Caracciolo Battistello (ca. 1600)
November is dedicated to prayer for the souls in purgatory. Here is the "Fatima Prayer," prayed with each decade of the rosary. "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy. Amen."

A BIT OF WISDOM: "The first principle of the Kingdom of God is that it includes everything; in it, the fall of every sparrow is a significant event. . . . Another principle . . . is that everything in the Kingdom of God is joined both to it and to everything else that is in it; that is to say, the Kingdom of God is orderly. A third principle is that humans do not and can never know either all the creatures that the Kingdom of God contains or the whole pattern of order by which it contains them." Wendell Berry, The Art of the Commonplace
