Bishop Robert Baron on why we pray for all souls

Bishop Robert Baron posts his video homily for All Souls on Word on Fire

"Friends, All Souls Day, November 2, falls on a Sunday this year, so we can really spend some time reflecting on this wonderful feast, which means so much to Catholic people. Why do we pray for the souls in purgatory? I wonder if I could begin by reflecting on why we speak of the “soul”—this higher principle breathed into us by God that survives the death of the body."
