30TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME OCTOBER 29TH, 2017

NOVEMBER 1ST AND 2ND, ALL SAINTS AND ALL SOULS DAYS

Dear Parishioners,

November 1st the feast of All Saints is a holy day on which the church glorifies God for all his saints, known and unknown. We need these heavenly models of holiness. Saints are masterpieces of God’s work. Admiring the painting, we admire the artist. The praise and admiration of the painting does not detract anything from the praise and admiration we owe to the artist. On the contrary, when we admire and praise the painting, in reality we praise and admire the artist who in our case is God, who works always with the cooperation of humans.

All Saints Day reminds each one of us that we are called to be a saint. It doesn’t matter what we are doing, what we have done, or who we are. We are called to be saints. All the saints we honor today are women and men who had their priorities straight. They placed Christ and his Church at the center of their lives and everything else came togeth-er. They rebuffed evil in their lives and brought peace, hope and love to their age and time. They lived for God, not for this world. We each share their calling, mission, and life pur-pose. Saints are all around us, earthly models of holiness, women and men whose generous spirit reflects the Gospel call to love and serve God and others. Some do it by making the ordinary holy through a spirit of simplicity and humility. Some do it by showing extraordinary courage in sickness and adversity. Some do it by railing against injustice and working to bring equality and dignity to all. Let us give heed to this call to live holiness.

On November 2nd we remember and pray for all our rela-tives and friends who are deceased. We should remember as well to pray for all the dead for whom there is no one to pray. The Church has consistently encouraged the offering of prayers and Mass for the souls of the faithful departed in Purgatory. The faithful on earth can assist these souls in Pur-gatory in attaining the Beatific Vision through their good works and prayers.

On this day, we ask God for mercy on those who have died. We pray for an ever deeper and abiding awareness of the steadfast love of God expressed through Jesus Christ. Let us, then, make the Opening prayer of All soul’s day Mass, our own: “God, our creator and redeemer, by your pow-er Christ conquered death and returned to you in glory. May all your people who have gone before us in faith share his victory and enjoy the vision of your glory forev-er.” Amen.

NOVIEMBRE 1ERO Y 2NDO, DIA DE TODOS LOS SANTOS Y FIELES DIFUNTOS

Queridos feligreses,

El 1ro de noviembre, es día de Todos los Santos, día de precepto en el que la igle-sia glorifica a Dios por todos sus santos, conocidos y desconocidos. Necesitamos estos modelos celestes de santidad. Los Santos son obras maestras de la obra de Dios. Admirando la pintura, admiramos el artista. El elogio y la admiración de la pintura no resta nada de la alabanza y la admiración que le debemos al artista.

Por el contrario, cuando admiramos y elogiamos la pintu-ra, en realidad, alabamos y admiramos al artista que en nuestro caso es Dios, que trabaja siempre con la coopera-ción de los seres humanos.

Los Santos nos recuerdan a cada uno de nosotros que estamos llamados a ser

ramos por todos nues-tros familiares y amigos que han fallecido. Debemos tam-bién orar por todos los muertos que no tienen quien ore por ellos. La Iglesia constantemente ofrece Misas y oracio-nes por las almas de los fieles difuntos en el Purgatorio. Los fieles en la tierra pueden ayudar a estas almas en el Purgatorio a convertirse a través de sus buenas obras y oraciones. En este día, pidámosle a Dios piedad por los que han muerto. Oremos para que nuestra conciencia sea cada vez más profunda y duradera y que la misericordia de Dios sea expresada a través de Jesucristo. Veamos, a continuación, la oración de apertura de la misa del día de Todos los Muerto, el nuestro: "Dios, nuestro creador y redentor, con su muerte ha conquistado el poder de Cristo y devuelto a ustedes en la gloria. Que todas las perso-nas que nos han precedido en la fe compartan su vic-toria y disfruten de la visión de su gloria por los siglos de los siglos”. Amén.

Fr. Joseph M. Paradayil, SDB
