From the Pastor, Fr. Anthony Mendoza
Halloween, All Saints Day and All Souls Day
The name Halloween is a shortened form of
“All Hallows Evening,” which is an old way of
saying the evening before “The Feast of All the
Holy Ones,” or, as we know it, “The Feast of All
Saints.” Since Halloween was meant to focus on the
saints in heaven, it is a great idea for children to
have an “All Saints Party” on October 31st!
This Monday, Nov. 1st, will be the day we
celebrate all the saints in heaven. This year it is
NOT a Holy Day of Obligation, which means
Catholics are NOT required to attend Mass for the
Feast of All Saints. We will have Masses at the
regular times that day, at 7:00 am and 6:00 pm. Even though we are not required to attend Mass that day,
it is a wonderful opportunity to honor all the saints in heaven and to ask for their help.
The Church has recognized hundreds as saints, but there may be millions in heaven whom we will not
know until we join them ourselves. By honoring the saints we
honor their Creator, Who is the source of their goodness.
We also ask their prayers, since they are our older brothers
and sisters in Christ who love us very much, and we believe
what the Bible tells us, that “The prayers of a righteous person
are very powerful” (James 5:16). Let us ask the saints to pray
for us to be with them forever!
Besides the saints in heaven, we have other brothers and
sisters in Christ who have already died but who may not yet be
in heaven. We remember them in a special way on Tuesday,
November 2, the Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed,
better known as “All Souls Day.”
A person who dies with unforgiven mortal sin will nev-
er enter heaven. A person who has no unforgiven sin and
who is already cleansed of all selfishness before death will
go straight to heaven. The rest of us must be cleansed of
any selfishness after we die in a suffering which is called
purgatory. After all, if people could enter heaven with
selfishness, it would not be heaven! Our prayers can help
the souls in purgatory with this cleansing so that they can
sooner enter heaven. As the Bible tells us, it is a holy act to
pray for the dead (2 Maccabees 12:42-46). It is always
good to pray for those who have died, but we remember
them in a special way on All Souls Day and during the month
of November. May the souls of the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Del Párroco, Padre Anthony Mendoza
Halloween, Día de Todos los Santos y Día de los Difuntos El nombre "Halloween" es una forma abreviada de "La Vigilia de Todos los Santos", que es una forma de decir la noche anterior a "La Fiesta de Todos los Santos." Ya que Halloween estaba destinado a enfocarse en los santos en el cielo, ¡es una gran idea que los niños tengan una “Fiesta de Todos los Santos” el 31 de octubre! Este lunes 1 de noviembre será el día en que celebramos a todos los santos en el cielo. Este año NO es un Día Santo de Obligación, lo que significa que los católicos NO están obligados a asistir a la Misa de la Fiesta de Todos los Santos. Tendremos Misas en los horarios regulares ese día, a las 7:00 am y a las 6:00 pm. Aunque no estamos obligados a asistir a Misa ese día, es una oportunidad maravillosa para honrar a todos los santos en el cielo y pedir su ayuda.
La Iglesia ha reconocido a cientos como santos, pero puede haber millones en el cielo a quienes no conoceremos hasta que nos unamos a ellos. Al honrar a los santos, honramos a su Creador, quien es la fuente de su bondad. También les pedimos sus oraciones, ya que son nuestros hermanos y hermanas mayores en Cristo que nos aman mucho, y creemos lo que la Biblia nos dice, que “Las oraciones del justo son muy poderosas” (Santiago 5:16). ¡Pidamos a los santos que oren para que estemos con ellos para siempre! Además de los santos en el cielo, tenemos otros hermanos y hermanas en Cristo que ya han muerto, pero que quizás aún no estén en el cielo. Los recordamos de
manera especial el martes 2 de noviembre, Conmemoración de todos los Fieles Difuntos, más conocido como “Día de los Muertos”. Una persona que muere con un pecado mortal no perdonado nunca entrará al cielo. Una persona
que no tiene ningun pecado no perdonado y que ya está limpia de todo egoísmo antes de la muerte,
irá directamente al cielo. El resto de nosotros debemos ser limpiados de cualquier egoísmo después de
morir, en un sufrimiento que se llama purgatorio. Después de todo, si la gente pudiera entrar al cielo
con egoísmo, ¡no sería el cielo! Nuestras oraciones pueden ayudar
a las almas del purgatorio con esta limpieza para que más pronto
puedan entrar al cielo. Como nos dice la Biblia, es un acto santo
orar por los muertos (2 Macabeos 12: 42-46). Siempre es bueno
rezar por los que han fallecido, pero los recordamos de manera
especial en el Día de los Difuntos y durante el mes de noviembre.
Que las almas de los fieles difuntos, por la misericordia de Dios,
descansen en paz. Amén.
