Update from North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit: We are looking after each other’s safety and good health during
these days of the pandemic. It is our hope that working together,
we can stop the spread of this virus and join together in prayer
safely. This Announcement is a reminder for all of us. It remains
critically important for each of us to continue following the health
precautions. This includes:
• staying home when ill, even with mild symptoms;
• practicing physical distancing of 2 metres or 6 feet with those
outside your household or social circle;
• protecting your social circle;
• wearing a face covering/mask;
• washing your hands frequently and thoroughly; and
• adhering to gathering limits and rules.
The O. Reg 364/20 became law in the Province of Ontario on
October 2, 2020. This law requires that everyone attending the
place of worship (church) must wear a face covering the entire
time that they are indoors – this includes the celebrant, deacon, and
liturgical ministers. If a person has a health concern related to the
wearing of the face mask, the law provides for this exemption to be
respected. This time of uncertainty calls each one of us to renew
and amplify our Christian commitment to prayer, reflection,
prudent care of each other, and helping others. Let us continue to
pray for those who have died, those who are ill, those who work on
the front lines and serve our community, and the ongoing work of
medical researchers to discover a vaccine and a cure. May God
bless us and guide us.
Remember our beloved dead
November is usually the time where we especially remember our
beloved dead through prayers and offerings of Masses. ALL
SOULS’ DAY envelopes will be available next weekend at all
church exits for you to fill out. Masses are said for the souls in
purgatory for the entire month of November and thereafter. Drop
envelopes in the basket found in front of the altar. “May the souls
of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
Amen.

Readings Next Week- Oct. 31-Nov. 1st (All Saints Day) First Reading – Revelation 7.2-4, 9-14
Second Reading – 1 John 3.1-3
Gospel – Matthew 5.1-12a
Gospel Matthew 22.34-40 www.loyolapress.com
The Pharisees continue to test Jesus with a question about the
greatest commandment.
Gospel Reflection –
Our relationship with on another is both horizontal and vertical. It
is a relationship of love. The cross gives a demonstration of his
love. The horizontal part is towards our fellow human beings, and
the vertical is towards God. We love our God who is in Heaven,
and love our neighbours who are with us here on earth. Christ’s
answer to the Pharisees in the Gospel shows us that there are two
parts of the Ten Commandments. One part, the first three
commandments are directly on our relationship with God. The
second part, the remaining seven commandments are on our
relations hip with our fellow human beings. Whichever direction
we go, it is love that summarizes the whole Commandments. Love
the Lord your God with all your heart and will all your mind and
will all your soul; and love your neighbour as yourself. It means
loving God and loving others. Sometime some people have their
own understanding of the meaning of love. The understanding can
be driven by selfishness, any other ordinary human influence or
desire. Christ says that love is the summary of the law. Love comes
from God and God is love (1 John 4:7). We cannot remove God
from love, if we want to do the will of God. God is always first,
every love must stem from God. A catholic school teacher took a
survey of the meaning of love for her class. In the survey:
Karen – age 7 said: “When you love somebody, your eyelashes go
up and down and little stars come out of you.” (what an image).
MaryAnn – age 4 said “Love is when your puppy licks your face
even after you left him alone all day.”
Nikka – age 6 said “If you want to learn to love better, you should
start with a friend who you hate” (we need a few million more
Nikka’s on this planet).
Danny – age 7 said: “Love is when my mommy makes coffee for
my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure
the taste is okay.”
Terri – age 4 said: “Love is what makes you smile when you’re
tired.”
These are children’s ideas of love. And it goes to tell us that love is
practical in nature. You have to show it. The verses we read from
the Exodus sets us to love that is charity in tone. It covers some our
duties toward the poor in general; or to put it another way-those
who need our help. They are a practical application of the law of
charity in dealings with our neighbours. Love is not something we
can see or touch. It is something we can do. St. Paul said; “and
whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him”
(Colossians 3:17). Love as charity always looks towards God, for
the good of others. Let each of us ask ourselves how seriously we
take this love of fraternal charity and how faithfully we carry it out.
Not all of us may be able to give material help to somebody in
need, but the poorest of us can spare a kindly word, an encouraging
word, for a neighbour weighed down with cares and troubles. All
of us can pray for a neighbour who needs spiritual and temporal
help. Most of us can deny ourselves some unnecessary luxuries in
order to give a needed load of bread to a hungry fellow. Christian
love is a practical love. Let us pray God to nourish his spirit of love
in us always. (Homily-Fr. Placid)
Prayer Therapy
Be slow to speak, and only after having first
listened quietly, so that you may understand the
meaning , leanings and wishes of those who do
speak. Thus you will better know when to speak
and when to be silent. - St. Ignatius of Loyola
