| 0:00.0 | Well, thank you everybody for joining us. I'm Father Chris here at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy for an important first Saturday as we prepare for the elections that will be coming up and for our first Saturday. Also falling in all hollows tide, three important days, starting with Halloween night as the world calls it but really all |
| 0:23.0 | hollows eve the vigil of all saints day so we had the vigil then we had all saints day yesterday |
| 0:29.6 | which you all made mass as I said right for the holy day of obligation and today is all |
| 0:35.2 | souls day and I done to talk on that in the past but since it's a |
| 0:40.2 | first Saturday and we did first Friday last night so we invite you to check that out because |
