Pray for Departed Priests
AS NOVEMBER IS the month of the Holy Souls, and since this year has been proclaimed the Year for Priests by Pope Benedict, here are some photos I've taken lately of priests' graves. Father John Zuhlsdorf, in a recent sermon, asks us in our charity to pray for departed priests. Requiescant in pace, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
At Calvary Cemetery in Saint Louis. Here is the grave of Joseph Cardinal Ritter, Archbishop of Saint Louis 1948-1967, found among graves of diocesan priests.
Cemetery plot for Vincentians, members of the Congregation of the Mission, also at Calvary.

May they rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon them.

While the marker stone is still at Calvary, Cardinal Ritter's remains were transferred to the crypt of the Cathedral Basilica by Archbishop (now Cardinal) Rigali.
Thanks!
