What is a saint? How do you define the term? Whom do you think of when you think of saints? You might also ask yourself who comes to mind when you think of those blessed in the gospel beatitudes: the poor in spirit, pure in heart, the merciful, sorrowing, honest, the peacemakers, those who suffer for the sake of righteousness. What “vision of a great multitude” do you see? What are the blessings in your own life? WHERE WE LIVE, SERVE, & WALK TOGETHER IN FAITH. ST. JOSEPH’S PAGE TWO FROM THE PASTOR My Dear Friends in Christ, From the very early years of the Church, Christians honored and prayed for the dead. We continue to look at death from the perspective of Christ’s death and resurrection. Jesus has overcome death not only for himself, but also for all of us. I want to share with you an excerpt of Pope Francis’ homily from last year’s All Saints and All Souls Day: The first Christians depicted hope with an anchor, as though life were an anchor cast on Heaven’s shores and all of us journeying to that shore, clinging to the anchor’s rope. This is a beautiful image of hope: to have our heart anchored there, where our beloved predecessors are, where the Saints are, where Jesus is, where God is. This is the hope that does not disappoint; today and tomorrow are days of hope. Hope is a little like leaven that expands our souls. There are difficult moments in life, but with hope the soul goes forward and looks ahead to what awaits us. Today is a day of hope. Our brothers and sisters are in the presence of God and we shall also be there, through the pure grace of the Lord, if we walk along the way of Jesus… All of us will experience sundown, all of us! Do we look at it with hope? Do we look with that joy at being welcomed by the Lord? This is a Christian thought that gives us hope. Today is a day of joy; however it is serene and tranquil joy, a peaceful joy. Let us think about the passing away of so many of our brothers and sisters who have preceded us, let us think about the evening of our life, when it will come. And let us think about our hearts and ask ourselves: “Where is my heart anchored?” If it is not firmly anchored, let us anchor it beyond, on that shore, knowing that hope does not disappoint because the Lord Jesus does not disappoint. Please note that we will celebrate Mass in the Risen Christ Mausoleum Chapel, tomorrow Monday, Nov 2 at noon and we will have a special Mass of Remembrance for all who have died this past year on Tuesday, November 10 at 7pm in the Church. All are welcome. God bless you all. Fr. Scott . . MASS INTENTIONS . . . Monday, November 2 (All Souls Day) . . 7:00 Anthony Barone req. by Family . 9:00 Stanley Mykytka req. by his Wife Hope & . .

JOSEPH’S PAGINA OCHO . . . . . . . MENSAJE DEL PASTOR . . . . . . Estimados amigos en Cristo, . . . Desde los primeros años de la Iglesia, los cristianos honoramos y oramos .. . por los difuntos, y también miramos a la muerte con la perspectiva de la . muerte de Cristo y su resurrección. Ósea, Jesús sobre vivió la muerte no . . solo para él, pero también para nosotros. Lo siguiente es un extracto de . la Homilía del Papa Francisco el pasado día de los Santos y de las Almas: .. . . Los primeros cristianos representaron la esperanza como un ancla, como .. . si la vida fuera un anclaje dado a las costas del cielo y todos nosotros . viajáramos a esa orilla, aferrados a la cuerda del ancla. Esta es una bella . . imagen de esperanza: de tener nuestro corazón anclado allí, donde . nuestros amados predecesores están, donde los santos están, donde Jesús .. . está, donde está Dios. Esta es la esperanza que no defrauda; hoy y . . mañana son días de esperanza. . . La esperanza es un poco de levadura, que se expande en nuestras almas. .. . Hay momentos difíciles en la vida, pero con esperanza el alma va hacia . . delante y mira hacia adelante a lo que nos espera. Hoy es un día de . esperanza. Nuestros hermanos y hermanas están en la presencia de Dios . . y nosotros también debemos estar ahí, atraves de la pura gracia del . . Señor, caminando en el camino de Jesús... . . . . Hoy es un día de alegría; sin embargo, es una alegría serena y . tranquila. Pensemos en los hermanos y hermanas que han muerto, y en . . el día que llegara nuestra partida. Miremos en nuestro corazón y . preguntémonos ¿Dónde está anclado mi corazón?" Si no está firmemente .. . anclado en Jesús, vamos a anclarlo hacia él, sabiendo que la esperanza . . no defrauda porque el Señor Jesús no defrauda. . . . Recuerde que celebraremos la Misa de los difuntos en el Mausoleo en la . . Capilla Cristo Resucitado, el lunes, 2 de noviembre a las 12pm, y por . . todos los que han muerto durante este año vamos a celebrar una misa . . especial el 10 de noviembre a las 7:00pm en la Iglesia. Todos están . . invitados. . . . Que Dios los bendiga. . . . . Fr. Scott . La santidad no es un lujo, es simplemente un deber tuyo y mío.
