Pope Leo: Pray for the forgotten dead
November 02, 2026
Pope Leo XIV encouraged the faithful to pray for the repose of the souls of the departed, and particularly for the forgotten.
“Tomorrow afternoon, on the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, I will celebrate Mass at the Verano Cemetery,” Pope Leo said at the conclusion of his All Saints’ Day Angelus address.”During these days, let us feel united in the Communion of Saints with the immense family of our brothers and sisters who have gone before us on our earthly pilgrimage, and let us pray for the departed, especially those whom no one remembers.”
