Reflective Thought
This feast has its origins in ancient times in Europe and around the world. In ancient Rome, citizens would crowd into streets to celebrate the triumph of their troops. The winning general would stand in front of the crowd, the most desired place at the time. During this celebration, from time to time, a slave used to whisper in the triumphant general’s ear: “Remember, thou art mortal.” This is a reminder for the triumphant and us all to be eager to live every day as if it is our last. In Malta as in many other countries, there is the custom that we visit the departed in cemeteries, light candles and put flowers on the graves.
Prayer
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
