Honoring Our Ancestors: Forgiveness, Faith & The Sacred Season of Souls. ✨️ This time of year — as the veil thins between worlds — always stirs something ancient and sacred in my heart. ✨️🤍✨️The days around Halloween, All Saints’ Day, and All Souls’ Day invite us into remembrance, prayer, and deep connection with those who came before us.This past week, I went to church with my family and then to the local cemetery to pay our respects to our loved ones who have passed. It was bittersweet — grounding and healing — and yet tender, too. My mother was cremated, and I don’t have her ashes. There’s no physical place to visit her. So, I’ve been learning how to connect with her spirit in a deeper, more spiritual way — and I feel her presence with me all the time. She walks beside me, even without the tangible reminder of her form.
My son and I have also been exploring our ancestry lately. We’ve been on Ancestry.com, creating our family charts, and talking with my mother-in-law and her brother, who’ve both been gathering family stories and genealogy records for years. We discovered that my mom’s family roots run deep in old Connecticut — colonial, Revolutionary War times — and that our family is even mentioned in a book called Legendary Connecticut. It’s humbling and powerful to realize how far back our story stretches, how deeply we are woven into this land and its history. As we’ve been exploring our lineage, I’ve been reflecting on ancestral healing and clearing — how important it is not only to remember but to pray for healing across generations.
Lately, I’ve been studying the Hawaiian prayer Ho‘oponopono, inspired by Joe Vitale’s book Zero Limits and the teachings of Dr. Hew Len. The simple words — “I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.” — have such a profound power to release and heal. They remind me that prayer and forgiveness are truly universal.And today, something clicked for me. I realized how deeply this message of forgiveness is also at the heart of my Catholic faith.
My father’s side of the family comes from Quebec, tracing back to Brittany, France — deeply Catholic roots — while my mother’s family was Protestant. I’ve chosen to raise my family in the Catholic Church, not from dogma, but because I find such peace in the prayers, the rituals, and the communion with our saints and ancestors.
Recently, I found a beautiful “Prayer for the Family Tree” that I’ve been praying daily. It begins:
“Heavenly Mother-Father God as One,I come before You in prayer today as Your child in great need of Your help.I have physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.Many of my problems have been caused by my own failure and neglect,but I also ask You to forgive the sins of my ancestors whose failures have left their effects on me…In the name of Jesus, and in the power of the Holy Spirit, I ask You, God,to deliver me and my entire family tree, including future generations.”
This prayer touches me so deeply because it weaves together everything I love about both Ho‘oponopono and the Catholic faith — this universal truth of forgiveness and love that transcends all cultures, all religions, and all time. It reminds me that the word Catholic itself means universal — and that’s exactly what I’ve always sought since I was a little girl going from church to church, looking for God in every form. At the heart of it all, we are one family — connected through love, through forgiveness, through spirit.
This season, I feel my ancestors — my father who passed when I was fifteen, my mother, my grandmother — all around me. Their presence is soft but strong. Their love, eternal. So, as we move through this sacred window of remembrance, I’m holding my family close — both the living and the departed. I’m lighting candles for them, saying prayers, offering forgiveness, and feeling gratitude for the legacy that flows through my blood and my heart. Because their souls matter. Their lives mattered.And the most beautiful gift we can offer — to them, and to ourselves — is love and forgiveness.

In my shamanic constellation work, I often witness how these ancestral threads continue to weave through us — shaping our emotions, choices, and energy fields in subtle ways. When we enter sacred space together, guided by spirit and the wisdom of the land, we bring these unseen stories to light. Through prayer, movement, and guided healing, we give our ancestors a place of honor and peace, freeing both them and ourselves. This is the deep medicine of remembrance — the dance of forgiveness that brings harmony to our family line and opens our hearts to the Divine within us all
