A WORD FROM FR. IVAN

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

The fourth constitution of the Second Ecumenical Vatican Council is called Gadium et Spes.

Unlike the other three dogmatic constitutions, this is a pastoral constitution: therefore it is not

doctrinal, but deals with the application of doctrine to the personal, family and social life of

the Christian, It is the first official Church document to be addressed to all men of good will.

This constitution was also very worked and elaborated given that there were different ways of conceiving Christian

life during the Council (e.g. transcendent or incarnational). The first part of the constitution was completely

reworked from a standpoint more in conformity with Christian tradition, and this was in part the work of the then

Cardinal Karol Wojtyla.

“In this document the bishops of the whole world, united around the Successor of Peter, were eager to show the

solidarity of the Church’s love for the men and women of this age, marked by two recent wars and facing a profound

crisis of spiritual values and moral precepts that had been eradicated from their traditions.

Limiting themselves to a historical and sociological consideration, the Council Fathers afforded themselves to ask in

a theological way, the fundamental questions that have always assailed the heart of man: “what is man? What is this

sense of sorrow, of evil, of death, which continues to exist despite so much progress?” (GS 10). Channeling in this

way the “mystery of man” in the light of the Word of God, they also strongly penetrate the Christian community to

offer a specific contribution towards “rendering more human” the entire human family (GS 40).

In every time and place these questions are in the heart of man and they thrust him to look for the full and definitive

answer. Gaudium et Spes strongly underlines that this answer can only be found in Jesus Christ, who is “ the key, the

center and the goal of all of human history” (GS 10).

Pope John Paul II in the 30th anniversary of Gadium et Spes said, “I myself, placing myself in the trail of Gaudium

et Spes, in these years I have retained my obligation to illustrate on different occasions how, despite the despicable

conflicts of the past, science and faith have not any real motive for antagonism, but bring more and more often a

reciprocal advantage to the meeting and mutual collaboration” (see GS 36).

God bless! Wishing you a blessed Sunday.

Weekly Collections You will notice that the parish weekly plate

collection has been increasing since the start of

Flu Shot Clinic Results There were 240 flu shots given last Sunday at the parish center. We are grateful for St. Mary’s Health Clinic that arranged this event.

Parish Outreach News This week we started a partnership with Ramsey

County Human Services. 2 financial assistance

workers came to the parish office on Tuesday from

9 am—noon to help the Karenni community with

county and MNSure paperwork. These workers

were able to assist 27 families. Our staff provided

the interpretation needed. It was a huge success!

This service will be provided weekly on Mondays

from 9 am—noon in the parish office.

Looking for Church Cleaning Help

Please come on Saturday, December 2 to help clean the church as the Ad-vent and Christmas seasons are around the corner. Start your day with morning Mass and then stay and help with the cleaning. Many hands make for light work! Hope to see you there!

Fr. Joseph will be gone for a month. He left

November 2 and will be back December 4.

He went to Myanmar to visit family and will al-

so get a chance to meet with his bishop. Pope

Francis will be in Myanmar from Nov. 27-30 so

Fr. Joseph will also get to be in on the celebra-

tions for that visit.
