All Saints Day

There is no Catholic Halloween

There is Catholic All Saints Day eve or All Hallows Eve in the English Vernacular but NO Halloween.

The Roman Calendar in the Roman Breviary from 1956 shows the last feast day in October is October 28, the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude. There is a feast that depends on which day is the last Sunday in October, a most important feast, if it falls on October 31 then it is there, the Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King. There is no feast specifically assigned to October 31, but first Vespers, which is always said on the evening of the day before, from November 1 All Saints, is therefore always on October 31 evening.

LITTLE CHAPTER Apoc. 7, 2-3

Ecce ego Joannes vidi ál-

erum Angelum ascen-

dentem ab ortu solis, ha-

bentem signum Dei vivi;

et clamávit voce magna

quátuor Angelis, quibus da-

tum est nocére terr et

man, dicens : Nolite nocére

terre et man neque arbo-

ribus, quoadüsque signé-

mus servos Dei nostri in

fróntibus eórum.

Behold, I, John, saw another

Angel ascending from the

rising of the sun, having the

sign of the living God. And

he cried with a loud voice to

the four Angels, to whom it

was given to hurt the earth

and the sea, saying: Hurt not

the earth, nor the sea, nor the

trees, till we sign the servants

of our God on their foreheads.

O Christ, be merciful to thy

servants, for whom Mary

their Patroness, implores the

Father’s mercy at the tribunal

of thy grace.

And ye, O heavenly hosts,

composed of nine choirs, keep

far from us all evils, past,

present and future.

Ye Apostles and Propets,

who stand before the unyeild-

ing Judge; implore pardon

for the guilty, who truly bewail

their faults.

O ye purple-robed Martyrs,

and ye holy Confessors,

clothed in the white robe of

triumph call us from exile to

the fatherland.

Chaste choirs of Virgins and

all ye holy Hermits, now

inhabitants of heaven, obtain

for us thrones among the

blessed.

Banish from the land of the

faithful the perfidious race,

so that the unique Shepard

may rule over all, united in one

fold.

Glory be to God the Father,

and to his only-begotten Son,

and to the Holy Paraclete,

forever and ever.

Amen.

V. Be glad in the Lord, and

Exult, ye just.

R. And glory

all ye upright of heart.

NOTICE – “Banish from the land of the

faithful the perfidious race,” NOTHING about convert the Jews, that race (the perfidious race) is already judged. Period. That especially meant KEEP THEM OUT OF THE HOLY LAND!!! (Palestine)
