Las lecturas todas miran al último día, cuando todos resucitaremos de entre los muertos y nos encontraremos de nuevo. El profeta Daniel anuncia alabras de prevención y bienestar. Nos previene sobre el juicio que ha de venir, pero también nos consuela y nos asegura que todo el que vive una vida de virtud y de justicia alcanzará la vida eterna. La lectura de romanos nos recuerda que, por la pasión, muerte y resurrección de Cristo y por nuestra participación en ese misterio pascual mediante el Bautismo, nosotros ahora compartimos esa nueva vida que Cristo nos ganó. Este reconocimiento tiene repercusiones: necesitamos vivir justamente ahora, para poder alcanzar la vida eterna con Cristo en el último día. En el Evangelio Jesús promete que ninguno de aquellos que el Padre le ha confiado se perderá. Todos los justos serán resucitados para gozar y vivir eternamente en la presencia de Dios. LECTURAS DE HOY Las lecturas mencionadas aquí han sido seleccionadas de entre las muchas que hay disponibles para este domingo. Primera Lectura — Las almas de los justos están en manos de Dios, donde no los alcanzará ningún tormento. (Sabiduría 3:1-9). Salmo — El Señor es mi pastor, nada me falta (Salmo 23). Segunda Lectura — La prueba de que Dios nos ama está en que Cristo murió por nosotros (Romanos 6:3-9). Evangelio — La voluntad de mi Padre es que todo hombre que ve al Hijo y crea en él tenga la vida eterna. (Juan 6:37-40). THE COMMEMORATION OF ALL THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED (All Souls’ Day) LOOKING TO THE LAST DAY Today the Church remembers all who have walked the way of Christ and passed from this life. The readings all look to the last day, when we shall all rise from the dead and be reunited. The prophet Daniel announces words of warning and welfare. He cautions us against the judgment to come, but he also comforts us and assures us that all who live a life of virtue and justice will find life eternal. The reading from Romans reminds us that, because of Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection and our entrance into that paschal mystery through baptism, we now share in the new life won by Christ. This recognition has repercussions: we need to live righteously now, that we might rise to live forever with Christ on the last day. In the Gospel Jesus pledges that all the Father has given him will not be lost. All the faithful will be raised to joy and live forever in the presence of God. For those of Mexican heritage, November 2 means celebration of el Dia de Los Muertos, or “the Day of the Dead.” One of the most important days of the year for many, they join All Saints and All Souls together, visiting the graves of babies and children on All Saints, since they are santitos (little saints) or angelitos (little angels). Flowers, their favorite toys, favorite music, and so on, are taken to them. The following day, people spend time— some of them all day—at the cemetery with their loved ones who have died. It is a most solemn but joyful day. It is a day to celebrate Christ’s victory over death.

Children: What do you say and do to show others that you believe in Jesus, the Son of God? TÇzxÄ gÜxx SOCIAL JUSTICE/RESTORATIVE JUSTICE - Our traditional Angel Tree will be located in different areas due to repairs in the church. One area will be near the reconciliation rooms and the other will be at the west entrance by the new school window. For the last 13 years, Presentation parishioners have generously participated in the Advent Angel Tree project which provides gifts to Stockton children on behalf of their incarcerated family member as part of the national, ecumenical Prison Ministry program. This year, some 250 children will each receive two gifts - one toy or fun gift, along with one item of clothing - which have been purchased, wrapped and returned by our caring parishioners. As we have for the last several years, gifts will also be requested for the children whose families participate in the parish Food Pantry program. Please select an Angel tag(s), purchase the gift item listed on the Angel tag and return the gift wrapped item (preferably not bow or gift bags for ease in packaging for delivery). Place the gifts under the Advent Angel trees located in the church. Please return the wrapped gift with the Angel tag included and place under the tree no later than Sunday, Nov. 23. For more information, please contact Rachel Linayao at 472-0707. We give special thanks to parishioners Susan and Bill Loyko who have organized this project on behalf of Presentation Church for many years. This year, Bill and Susan are stepping back and turning the reins over to parishioner Rachel Linayao and their daughter, Jennifer Wood. Jennifer has been a volunteer with the Advent Angel Tree project for the last 4 years. EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS PRESENTATION CHURCH WEEKDAY CLOSURES During the clean-up and restoration we are currently undergoing, the church and chapel will be closed from Monday—Friday, November 3-7 and again November 17-21. Daily Mass will be celebrated in St. Ann and St. Joachim rooms during these 2 weeks. On weekends, Mass will continue to be celebrated inside the church.

National Vocation Awareness Week November 2-9 Please pray that young people in our society will hear and respond to God’s call. Please do your part to encourage them to consider the priesthood and religious life. Information on vocation resources is available online at vianneyvocations.com. DEPRESSION SUPPORT GROUP Most people feel anxious or depressed at times. Losing a loved one, getting fired from a job, going through a divorce, and other difficult situations can lead a person to feel sad, lonely, scared, nervous, or anxious. These feelings are normal reactions to life’s stressors. The holidays can be especially tough. Some people experience these feelings daily or nearly daily for no apparent reason, making it difficult to carry on with normal, everyday functioning. These people may have an anxiety disorder, depression, or both. Presentation Church has a support group where you can share your experience with others and look for solutions. If you are interested in coming to one of these meetings, please contact Kathleen Smith at 209-470-4169. CHARISMATIC PRAYER GROUP This prayer group, led by Deacon Bill Brennan, meets every Tuesday from 7:30pm to 9:00pm in Guadalupe Hall. All are invited to attend.

MONSIGNOR’S CORNER Seven Deadly Sins (and some new ones) - Karl Menninger, M.D. The Sin of Waste Great affluence largely helps determine the present ecological threat of extinction to this planet. Over consumption encourages the dissipation of greater and greater quantities of energy, water, soil, oil, etc. We also waste human lives recklessly in ghettos and slums and in the great iron cages of idleness—the latter at public expense. The vulgarity of greediness (residual infantile behavior) is precisely what education in self-control and social concern is supposed to avert. - Msgr.
