One thing I have wondered, but never got round to asking my priest, is how long one should continue to daily commemorate the departed in prayer .
Being a keen genealogist, is it still appropriate to commemorate those family members who reposed maybe three hundred years ago ?
Or should the limit be more arbitrary ?
Should we continue to pray for the reposed, even though they may have died a thousand years ago and may well have entered into the joy of the Lord ?
What about praying for people we did not personally know, such as politicians, but may have disliked what we knew of their "public face" ? I know I *should* pray for them, but is it actually morally wrong NOT to pray for them ?
Questions, questions.......
