See what love the Father has bestowed on us

that we may be called the children of God.

— 1 John 3:1

GOD’S WORD TODAY A day to commemorate all saints, those known and unknown, has been celebrated at various times of the Church year since the fourth century. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III dedicated a chapel in St. Peter’s Basilica to “all the saints.” The day of this dedication was November 1. We have com-memorated all saints on this day ever since. Listen to today’s Beatitudes, looking carefully at your own life. How do you measure up to the ideals put forth by our Lord? As we open our hearts to the word of God, let us remember the saints who have gone before us and pray that one day we may embody the Beatitudes and come to be counted among those who enjoy God’s presence in heaven.

ALL SOULS DAY MASS

WE LONG TO SEE GOD’S FACE “Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.” This antiphon for today’s responsorial psalm offers the focus for today’s readings. As we on earth celebrate the triumph of all the saints—the ones offi-cially canonized by the Church, and the countless others who have also reached heaven—we add noth-ing to their glory. But we give ourselves reason to hope. We too long to see the face of God and believe that we can one day be counted among those whose robes, as John tells us in the book of Revelation, are washed “white in the blood of the Lamb.” The passage from John’s First Letter offers fur-ther assurance: we are God’s children who will one day see God. But today’s Gospel pulls us past longing and reassurance into action. Jesus clearly tells us what we must do to be counted among the saints. We must be poor in spirit, hungry for holiness, merci-ful, single-hearted, and peacemakers! Then we too will see the face of God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Monday, November 2nd is All Souls Day. At 7 pm, we will have a candlelight mass in honor of our deceased members. Bring the pictures of your deceased loved ones to place on our table of remem-brance. Be sure to write your name and phone number on the back of the photo to secure its return. Additionally we will have donation envelopes by the candle table for you to write the names of your loved ones. These envelopes will be placed near the altar during the month of November.

The Community of Sant’Egidio Invites you to an event that could

change your life!

Come experience nights of prayer, inspiration and information with a community dedicated to sharing the Gospel through prayer, solidarity with the poor, ecumenism and a dialogue of peace.

NOTICIAS DE LA PARROQUIA 25 de octubre de 2015—Colección: $2544.62 Segunda Colecta para la Música y las necesidades

Litúrgicas: $496.65 Miren cuánto amor nos ha tenido el Padre, pues no sólo nos llamamos hijos de Dios,

sino que lo somos. — 1 Juan 3:1

Todos los Santos 01 de noviembre de 2015

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Visión de Juan de una muchedumbre de todos los pueblos y naciones cuyas vestiduras habían sido blancleadas con la sangre del Cordero (Apocalipsis 7:2-4, 9-14). Salmo — Señor, este es el pueblo que espera ver tu rostro (Salmo 24 [23]). Segunda lectura — Por el amor de Dios podemos ser llamados hijos suyos (1 Juan 3:1-3). Evangelio — Las Bienaventuranzas: Su recompensa será grande en el cielo (Mateo 5:1-12a).

ANHELAMOS VER EL ROSTRO DE DIOS “Esta es la raza de los que buscan tu rostro Se-ñor”. Esta antífona para el salmo responsorial de hoy brinda el tono de la lecturas de hoy. Cuando en la tierra celebramos la victoria de todos los santos, de los que están canonizados oficialmente por la Iglesia y de los sinnúmero que también han llegado al cielo, no sumamos nada a su gloria. Sino que reci-bimos un motivo más para tener esperanzas. No-sotros, también, anhelamos ver el rostro de Dios y creemos que un día podremos estar entre aquellos cuyas túnicas, como nos dice Juan en el libro del Apocalipsis, han sido lavadas y blanqueadas “con la sangre del Cordero”. El pasaje de la primera carta del apóstol San Juan nos garantiza que somos hijos de Dios y un día veremos a Dios tal cual es. Pero el Evangelio de hoy nos hace pasar del anhelo y la certeza a la acción. Jesús nos dice claramente qué debemos hacer para estar entre los santos. Debemos ser pobres de es-píritu, misericordiosos, limpios de corazón, tener hambre y sed de justicia y trabajar por la paz. En-tonces, nosotros también veremos el rostro de Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

El lunes 2 de noviembre se celebra el día de las almas o el día de los muertos. Ese día tendremos una misa candelaria a las 7 p.m. en honor de nues-tros queridos difuntos. Traigan las fotos de sus di-funtos y pónganlas en la mesa de recuerdo. Recuerden de poner su nombre y teléfono detrás de la foto para que se les devuelvan. También tendremos sobres disponibles para escribir los nom-bres de sus difuntos. Estos sobres serán puestos cerca del altar durante el mes de noviembre. Pueden recoger los sobres en la mesa donde se venden las veladoras.

Día de todas las almas

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En el Evangelio de san Mateo se encuentra el sermón mas largo de Jesucristo. Abarca tres capítu-los y contiene una serie de instrucciones para quienes desean ser sus discípulos. El famoso Sermón de la Montaña, es para Jesús y los cristianos lo que los Diez Mandamientos son para Moisés y los judíos. Jesús proclama la nueva Ley. La Ley de Israel se sin-tetiza en los Diez Mandamientos, mientras que la ley cristiana se resume en ocho bienaventuranzas. Estas bienaventuranzas son algo extrañas ya que unen cosas completamente opuestas a la felicid-ad, y las beatifica. Es decir, son cosas aparente-mente contradictorias: “Dichosos los que lloran”; “felices los pobres”; “bendito tú cuando te calumnien por causa mía”. Jesús toma lo que la sociedad mal-dice y lo convierte en camino de bendición, porque nuestros caminos y pensamientos no son los de Dios. Dios ve mucho más de lo que podemos ver o imagi-nar. Por eso las bienaventuranzas son ocho y no diez, porque más que una ley para cumplir, las bienaventuranzas son la esperanza de un nuevo día. Son la promesa de un nuevo inicio para la humani-dad, gracias a Dios. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SANTOS Y PECADORES La única diferencia entre los santos y los pe-

cadores es que los santos tuvieron un pasado y los pecadores tienen un futuro.

Universal:Evangelization:

O holy souls that now rejoice without fear of losing your joy and are forever ab-sorbed in the praises of my God! Happy indeed your lot! How right that you should employ yourselves ceaselessly in these praises! and how my soul envies you, free as you now are from the affliction caused by the grievous offenses which are in these unhappy days are committed against my God! No longer do you behold all the ingrat-itude of men and their blindness nor the multitude of souls being carried away by sa-tan. O blessed heavenly souls! Help us in our misery and intercede for us with the divine Mercy, so that we may be granted some part of your joy and you may share with us some of that clear knowledge which is now yours. And You, O my God, make us understand what it is that You give to those who fight manfully through the dream of this miserable life. Help us, O loving souls, to under-stand what joy it gives you to behold the eternity of your bliss and what delight to possess the certain knowledge that it will never end. O blessed souls, who knew so well how to profit by the gifts of God, and to purchase with this precious ransom so delectable and enduring a heritage, tell us how you won through Him such an eternal blessing! Assist us, since you are so near the Fountain-head. Draw water for those of us on earth who are perishing with thirst.” St. Teresa of Avila
