On the Memorial Saturday of Meatfare week, Fr. Matthew Howell explains why we pray for those who have died. In doing so, he reads excerpts from a homily by St. Augustine (+430), expressing that we pray for those who have died with hopeful expectation for their salvation and our own.
Fr. Matthew takes the homily excerpts from St. Augustine from the book Synaxarion of the Lenten Triodion and Pentecostarion, published in 2001 by HDM Press, pages 31-32.
