The souls of the just are in the hands of God, and no torment shall touch them. They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead; and their passing away was thought an affliction and

their going forth from us, utter destruction. But they are in peace.

All Saints Day and All Souls Day

On All Saints Day, we remember all the holy people who have influenced the lives of the faithful throughout the centu-ries. In the Book of Revelation, St. John has a vision of the end time, when all the faithful will be gathered around the throne of God. In his First Letter, St. John tells the faithful that we do not know what we shall be like in heaven, but that when it is revealed we shall be like God and see him face to face. Matthew’s gospel story of the Beatitudes promis-es the kingdom of heaven to those who imitate Christ’s virtues on earth.

Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14 1 John 3:1-3 Matthew 5:1-12a

On All Souls Day, we commemorate all of our faithful departed, remembering Christ’s promise to raise them up on the last day. The Book of Wisdom encourages the people, saying that the just are in the hands of God. The faithful must have hope in their own immortality by trusting in God. St. Paul writes to the Romans that “hope does not disappoint” because God’s love has been given to those who believe. God proves his love for us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. In the gospel Jesus tells the crowds that no one who comes to him will be rejected. Finally, the Lord says that everyone who sees the Son and believes will have eternal life and be raised on the last day.

Wisdom 3:1-9 Romans 5:5-11 John 6:37-40

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

In the reading from the Book of Exodus, the Lord tells the people the kind of behavior that he expects from them. He tells them that they are to protect those most vulnerable in society: foreigners, widows, orphans and the poor. The Lord promises to hear the cry of the poor. He warns the Israelites that if they do not help those in need, his wrath will flare up against them and the lot of the poor will become theirs as well. St. Paul praises the Thessalonians for their Christian behavior. He says that they received God’s word and became imitators of the apostle. St. Paul praises them for turning away from their former ways to now serve God and boasts how they have become a model for all believers. Jesus is asked a simple, but important, question in Matthew’s gospel today. A scholar of the law asks him, “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” Jesus responds that the greatest command is that one must love God with all their heart, soul and mind; and secondly, to love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.

Exodus 22:20-26 I Thessalonians 1:5c-10 Matthew 22:34-40

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 3

From the Pastor’s Desk

In our gospel today, Jesus gives us the greatest commandments of all. He tells us we are to love God with all our heart and soul and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. In fact, he says that the whole law depends on these two commandments. In the reading from Exodus, God gives us concrete instruction on how to carry that out. God says that we are to imitate his generosity by taking care of the poor and the outcast.

In the reading from the Book of Exodus, God calls his people to remember his generosity: Do not oppress the alien (the foreigners or the outcast) because you yourselves were outcasts from God’s kingdom. Do not wrong the wid-ows or the orphans because God will visit the same judgment on those who do: “your own wives will be widows and your children, orphans”. In the Old Testament the Lord gave his commandments in such a stern manner to re-mind the Israelites that they were not to imitate the “might is right” philosophy prevalent in the surrounding cultures. It is God who has the power and God who sets the values. God has a preferential option for the poor and those una-ble to take care of themselves.

Jesus sums this up very simply as the call to love God and to show it by loving others. This begins in our hearts and minds with gratitude for the gifts, blessings, and mercy that God has given us. God has given us a share in his di-vine nature and raised us up to the dignity of children of God. We are to share God’s blessings, gifts and mercy with others, seeing in them the same divinity that God sees in us. Our spiritual journey is to become more like Christ in this life so that we will be able to share his life for eternity.

The ability to see the image of Christ in all people is the heart of the gospel message. We are all made in the image and likeness of God. This recognition of the dignity of all people is not only the reason for Jesus’ command to take the good news throughout the world but is also the source of our Respect Life teachings that we focus on in a partic-ular way in the month of October. We are called to protect the lives of everyone from conception to natural death, especially caring for the weak and the most vulnerable members of society.

Issues that continue to plague our society are those of domestic violence, sexual harassment and rape. Recent news of certain high profile public cases give us a renewed awareness of the depth of these social ills in our society. They happen in all neighborhoods, races, socio-economic strata and religions. As we conclude Respect Life month, it is good to be reminded that the commandment to love our neighbor as ourselves must be observed in our own fam-ilies and in the ways we teach our families to respect the dignity of others, particularly women and children.. These usually hidden evils have many causes: societal, our own family backgrounds, our personalities and the stresses of life. However, ultimately, we are all responsible for our actions and the choices we make. Family violence against a spouse, child, parent, sibling or neighbor is always against God’s law. It is our individual responsibility to get the help we need when our violent tendencies are out of control. And it is our collective responsibility to help those suf-fering from violence, and to reform our culture to help children grow up to emotional and spiritual maturity that en-sures the dignity of every human person.

There will be a special School Mass for All Saints Day this Wednesday, November 1st at 1:30 p.m. All are wel-come. Our Parish Masses will be at 8:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. All Saints Day is a Holy Day of Obligation. It re-minds us that God has good things in store for us, and that one day, we, too, can enter the Communion of Saints and join our loved ones in God’s heavenly kingdom. All Souls Day will be celebrated this Thursday, November 2nd at our normal morning mass at 8:30 a.m. and a special Mass of Remembrance at 7:00 p.m. We honor all of our faith-ful departed and remember in a special way those who have passed away in the last year. The mass will be followed by a light reception in the church vestibule.

The Girl Scout Bake Sale will be held next weekend after all the masses. All proceeds will be donated to our STRETCH Fund to benefit the needy in our neighborhood.

The parish annual Financial Report with my commentary on the results will be published in next week’s bulletin. I apologize for the delay.

Have a great week.

Sincerely, Fr. Neil

A Prayer of Remembrance - We Remember Them

In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember them. In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them.

In the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them. In the blueness of the skies and the warmth of summer, we remember them. In the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of the fall, we remember them.

In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them. When we have achievements that are based on theirs, we remember them.

When we have joys that we yearn to share, we remember them. So long as we live, they too shall live for they are part of us as we remember them.

Poem by Rabbi Sylvan Kamens and Rabbi Jack Riemer
