Commemoration of Deceased Clergy and Religious

On this day, the Church in southern Arabia remembers all the departed clergy and religious who have laboured in the vineyard of the Lord and worked for the spread of the Gospel in the Arabian Mission.

Liturgical colour: black (or violet)

Violet is the colour of penance, and black is (for most of us) the colour of mourning. One or the other is therefore used in Masses for the Dead and, in particular, on All Souls’ Day.
Mid-morning reading (Terce)Jeremiah 22:3
Practise honesty and integrity; rescue the man who has been wronged from the hands of his oppressor; do not exploit the stranger, the orphan, the widow; do no violence; shed no innocent blood in this place.
Noon reading (Sext)Deuteronomy 15:7-8
Is there a poor man among you, one of your brothers, in any town of yours in the land that the Lord your God is giving you? Do not harden your heart or close your hand against that poor brother of yours, but be open-handed with him and lend him enough for his needs.
Afternoon reading (None)Proverbs 22:22-23
Because a man is poor, do not therefore cheat him, nor, at the city gate, oppress anybody in affliction; for the Lord takes up their cause, and extorts the life of their extortioners.
