Feast of All Saints
November 1, 2015
Pastor’s Corner
Feast of All Saints
The Feast of All Saints is a Holy Day of the Church honoring all saints, known
and unknown. This is much like the American holidays: Veterans Day and Presidents
Day, where many people are honored on one day. While we have information about
many saints, and we honor them on specific days, there are many unknown or unsung
saints, who may have been forgotten, or never been specifically honored. On All Saints
Day, we celebrate these saints of the Lord, and ask for their prayers and intercessions.
The whole concept of All Saints Day is tied in with the concept of the Communion of
Saints. This is the belief that all of God's people, on heaven, earth, and in the state of
purification (called Purgatory), are connected in a communion. In other words, Catholic and Orthodox Christians believe that the saints of God are just as alive as you and I,
and are constantly interceding on our behalf. Remember, our connection with the saints
in heaven is one grounded in a tight-knit communion. The saints are not divine, nor omnipresent or omniscient. They are just
perfect because they lived faithfully the will and ways of God.
There are thousands of canonized saints, that is, those individuals officially recognized by the Church as holy men and
women worthy of imitation. Because miracles have been associated with these people, and their lives have been fully examined and found holy by the Church, we can be assured they are prime examples of holiness, and powerful intercessors before
God on our behalf. There are also many patron saints, guardians or protectors of different areas and states of life. It may sound
crazy to have a patron saint against oversleeping, but keep in mind the Church has something meaningful for every area of our
human lives. All of these saints are celebrated throughout the year, as many have their own feast days.
All Souls Day
All Souls Day follows All Saints Day, and commemorates the faithful departed, those
who die in God's faith and friendship. However, Catholics believe that not all those who die in
God's grace are immediately ready for the Beatific vision, i.e. the reality and goodness of God
and heaven, so they must be purified of "lesser faults," and the temporal effects of sin. The
Catholic Church calls this purification of the elect, "purgatory."
The Catholic teaching on Purgatory essentially requires belief in two realities: 1. that
there will be a purification of believers prior to entering heaven and 2. that the prayers and
masses of the faithful in some way benefit those in the state of purification. As to the duration,
place, and exact nature of this purification, the Church has no official dogma, although Saint Augustine and others used fire as
a way to explain the nature of the purification.
Many faithful Catholics, including Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, grant that Purgatory may be an existential state as
opposed to a temporal place. In other words, Purgatory may be something we experience instantaneously, because it is outside
of the confines of created time and space. Many non-Catholics, including C.S. Lewis, have believed in Purgatory, and the official dogma of Purgatory is hardly offensive, even if the popular understanding of it has led to confusion. As a more everyday
explanation, many liken Purgatory to a place to "clean up" oneself before going into the presence of Almighty God.

Serra Daily Prayer for priestly and religious vocations:
Jesus, Lord of the harvest, Look with love on this portion of your vineyard. Bless the Diocese of San Diego with more priests to shepherd your people, Priests with hearts like
your own. Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
Pray for Priests and Vocations “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” (1 Thess. 5:12,
13, NIV) When we pray for vocations for the priesthood, diaconate and religious, we actually pray for ourselves, since holy priests, deacons and religious should result in a
holier people. When we pray for these servants of Christ, we also win the favor of Christ, for we, in so praying, are furthering His work. By praying for vocations we are
helping our children and our children's children because we are using a meritorious means of preserving our faith for them. “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard
among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” (1 Thess. 5:12, 13, NIV)

MIDDLE SCHOOL
YOUTH GROUP
St. Stephen’s Middle School Youth Group is for youth in
grades 6, 7 & 8 and meets on Monday nights from 7:008:30 pm in the parish hall. I encourage parents to have their
middle school youth participate in youth group. The middle school years are tough and it is important that they continue their formation in the faith and foster their relationship with Jesus. In many respects Middle School kids are
on the edge because so much is going on in their lives
physically, mentally, spiritually, and socially. It can be a
very stressful and difficult time for them and their parents.
As a Catholic Community, we have the opportunity to give
our Middle School youth the EDGE they need in life:
Jesus, The Word, The Eucharist, and the Church!
Last Monday was a grade breakout night and the kids really seemed to like it!
This week we will be going to Valley Center Cemetery
to participate in the parish All Souls Prayer Vigil.
Please meet us at Church by 6:30 pm with a permission
slip. Bring a flashlight! We could use parent drivers!

student at JPII and has a wealth of experience in Youth Ministry. Please pray for Chase and youth! Learning & growing in faith and fostering a relationship with Jesus is a lifelong jour‐
ney that never ends.

Bible Verse of the Week
2 Timothy 3:14-17
Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from
whom you learned it, and that from infancy you have known [the] sacred scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for
salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God and is
useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good
work.

Solemnidad de Todos los Santos
1 de Noviembre, 2015
Esquina del Pastor:
Todos Los Santos
La Solemnidad de Todos Los Santos es un Día Santo de la Iglesia en que honra a
todos los santos, conocidos y desconocidos. Esto es muy similar a los feriados Americanos:
Día de los Veteranos y Día de los Presidentes, donde muchas personas son honrados en un
día. Si bien tenemos información acerca de muchos santos, y les rendimos homenaje en
días específicos, hay muchos santos desconocidos, o valorados o olvidados, que pueden
haber sido olvidado, o no han sido específicamente honrado. En el Día de Todos Los Santos, celebramos estos santos del Señor, y pedimos por sus oraciones e intercesiones.
Todo el concepto del Día de Todos Los Santos, está relacionada con el concepto de
la Comunión de los Santos. Esta es la creencia de que todo el gente de Dios, en el cielo, la
tierra, y en el estado de purificación (llamado el Purgatorio), están conectados en una comunión. En otras palabras, los cristianos católicos y ortodoxos creen que los santos de Dios son tan vivo como tú y yo, y constantemente intercede en nuestro nombre. Recuerde, nuestra conexión con los santos en el cielo es una funda en un compacto de
la comunión. Los santos no son divinos, ni omnipresente u omnisciente. Simplemente son perfectos porque vivieron fielmente
la voluntad y maneras y ejemplo de Dios.
Hay muchos santos canonizados, es decir, aquellos individuos reconocidos oficialmente por la Iglesia como hombres y
mujeres santos dignos de imitación. Porque milagros han sido asociadas con estas personas, y sus vidas han sido completamente
examinado y considerado santo por la Iglesia, podemos estar seguros de que ellos son los principales ejemplos de santidad, y
poderosos intercesores ante Dios en nuestro favor. También hay muchos santos patronos, guardianes o protectores de diferentes
regiones y estados de vida. Puede parecer una locura tener un patrono contra dormer excesivo, pero recuerde que la Iglesia tiene
algo significativo para cada área de nuestras vidas humanas. Todos estos santos se celebran durante todo el año, ya que muchos
tienen sus propios días de fiesta.
Todas Las Almas
Dia de Todas las Almas sigue el Día de Todos Los Santos, y conmemora a los fieles
difuntos, los que mueren en la fe y amistad de Dios, Sin embargo, los católicos creen que no
todos los que mueren en la gracia de Dios, son imediatamente listospara la visión beatífica, es
decir, la realidad y la bondad de Dios y en el cielo, de modo que deben ser purificados de "faltas
menor", y los efectos temporal del pecado. La Iglesia Católica llama esta purificación de los
elegidos, "purgatorio".
La enseñanza Católica sobre el purgatorio requiere esencialmente la creencia en dos
realidades: 1. que habrá una purificación de los creyentes antes de entrar en el cielo y 2. que las
oraciones y las misas de los fieles de alguna manera beneficiar a aquellos en el estado de purificación. En cuanto a la duración,
el lugar y la naturaleza exacta de esta purificación, la Iglesia no tiene ningún dogma oficial, aunque san Agustín y otros utilizan
el fuego como una manera de explicar la naturaleza de la purificación.
Muchos fieles católicos, incluido el Papa Benedicto XVI Emérito, concéde que el purgatorio puede ser un estado existencial en contraposición a un lugar temporal. En otras palabras, el purgatorio puede ser algo que experimentamos instantáneamente, porque está fuera de los límites del tiempo y del espacio creado. Muchos que no son católicos, incluyendo C.S. Lewis,
han creído en el purgatorio, y el dogma oficiale del Purgatorio es escasamente ofensivo, incluso aúnque la comprension popular
de que ha llevado a la confusión. Como una explicación más cotidiano, muchos comparan el purgatorio a un lugar para la
"limpieza" a sí mismo antes de entrar en la presencia de Dios Todopoderoso. (www.churchyear.net)

REZO PARA SACERDOTES....Jesús, reza por tu sacerdote fiel y ferviente; Por tus sacerdotes infieles y tibios; Por tus sacerdotes que trabajan en casa o en un pais extranjero y en misiónes distantes. Por tu sacerdote tentado; Por tus sacerdotes solos y solitarios; Por tus sacerdotes jóvenes; Por tus sacerdotes agonizantes; por las almas de tus
sacerdotes en el Calvario. Pero sobre todo, te recomiendo a los sacerdotes los más queridos a mí: el sacerdote que me bautizó; los sacerdotes que me exoneraron de mis pecados; los sacerdotes en cuyas misas que asistí y quién me dan Tu Cuerpo y Sangre en la Sagrada Comunión; los sacerdotes que me enseñaron e instruyeron; Todos los sacerdotes a quien soy endeudado de cualquier otro modo (sobre todo a...). Guárdalos cerca de tu corazón. Amén. Oración Diaria por las Vocaciones: Jesús de la coseha, mira
con amor a esta porción de tu viña. Bendice la Diócesis de San Diego Bendito sea el Señor, porque él ha escuchado el sonido de mi escrito: "el Señor es mi fortaleza y mi
escudo. En él confía en mi corazón, y encontrar ayuda; a continuación, mi corazón exultante y con mi hijo le doy fuerza mi escudo . En él confía en mi corazón, y encontrar
ayuda; a continuación, mi corazón exultante, y con mi canción le doy gracias. Salmo 28:6 con más sacerdotes que pastoreen a tu pueblo, sacerdotes con un corazón semejante
al tuyo. María, Madre de la Iglesia, intercede por nosotros.

2 Timoteo 3: 14-17
Tú en cambio, quédate con lo que has aprendido y de lo que estás seguro, sabiendo de quiénes lo recibiste. Además, desde tu niñez conoses
las Sagradas Escrituras. Ellas te darán la sabiduría que lleva a la
salvación mediante la fe en Cristo Jesús. Toda Escritura está inspirada
por Dios y es útil para enseñar, rebatir, corregir y guiar en el bien. Asi
el hombre de Dios se hace un experto y queda preparado para todo
trabajo Bueno.

recibido los Sacramentos de la Confirmación y la Comunión. El
Programa R.I.C.A. de San Esteban está dirigido por el Diacono Gil y

aquellos que buscan conocer nuestra fe y profundizar su relación con
