Scripture

If he cries out to me, I will hear him; for I am

compassionate." (Exodus 22:26)

O LORD, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.(Psalm 18:3)

For from you the word of the Lord has soundedforth (1 Thessalonians 1:8)

You shall love your neighbor as yourself

(Matthew 22:39)

Reflection

How do you mirror Christ’s compassion?

In what ways do you live your faith in God?

How do you perceive the work of God operating

in you?

The secret of my identity is hidden in the love andmercy of God. His infinite simplicity admits no divi-sion and no distinction. Therefore I cannot hope to findmyself anywhere except in Him. All my existence, my

peace and happiness depend on discovering myself in

discovering God. That is something that no one canever do alone. The only One Who can teach me tofind God is God, Himself, Alone.1

St. Michael's Book of the DeadPraying for the dead is a Christian obligation. In the

modern world, when many have come to doubt theChurch's teaching on Purgatory, the need for suchprayers has only increased. The Church devotes the

month of November to prayer for the Holy Souls inPurgatory, and participation in the Mass of All SoulsDay is a good way to begin the month. The Book of theDead will be at both entrances of the church beginningNovember 1, 2010. Please enter the names of your beloved dead. We will lift them in prayer at each mass.

All Saints Day MassVigil Mass: October 31st, 5pm

November 1st, 11:30am

All Souls Day Mass November 2nd: 11:30am, 12:00pm and 12:30pm

Question: Why Three Masses on ―All Souls Day‖?

On the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departedthe Church gathers in solemn suffrage for the souls in

purgatory, and the liturgy should express this clearly.On this day every priest may celebrate three RequiemMasses: (1) for a specific intention, (2) for all the

faithful departed and (3) for the Holy Father's inten-tions. This privilege was granted by Pope BenedictXV in Incruentum altaris (1915) and has never beenrevoked.

The color of the day is black or violet.1 Flowersare not placed on or near the main altar, and the or-gan or other instruments are only used to sustainsinging.2 It also seems preferable to use simpler can-dlesticks on or around the altar.
