First source report

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Rita Buettner suggests using a prayer basket to remember the deceased during the month of November.

Each year at the start of November, Buettner writes the names of deceased loved ones on slips of paper and places them in a basket. Every morning throughout the month, she draws one name to serve as the daily prayer intention. When possible, she contacts friends to inform them that their loved one was included in the day's prayers.
