Spiritual Notes:
Once again we celebrate All Saints, when we honor
“those exalted members of the church through
whom you give us, in our frailty, both strength
and good example.” These men and women from
all eras of Christian history serve as reminders
to us that in all times and places, God calls us to
live our faith “ever devoted to serving God and …
neighbor” The writer of the Book of Revelation
envisions a heavenly multitude “which no one
could count” and “wearing white robes.” This
multitude exceeds the 144,000 marked with the
seal, indicating that we cannot put a limit on the
number to be saved. They come from every nation,
race, people, and tongue, waving palm branches, a
symbol of the Lamb’s victory. They sing the praises
of the heavenly Lame: “Blessing and glory, wisdom
and thanksgiving, honor, power, and might be to
our God.” The author of 1 John reminds us that we
are “the children of God” already because of God’s
love for us. But as God’s children we face resistance
from the world. The world does not know us….
because it did not know Christ Jesus. But God has
more in store for us, “when it is revealed, we shall
be like him.” The saints we venerate today already
have a share in this dimension of life in God and
by their prayers assist us to grow in holiness. The
Beatitudes in Matthew are often paralleled to the
Ten Commandments given to Moses on another
mountain. In the Beatitudes Jesus does not tell us
what to do or what not to do; He tells us what we
should be. We are called to be meek, merciful, and
makers of peace. We are also called to find blessing
in our mourning and in our suffering, for even
at times like this God is with us and promises to
renew us and strengthen us.
For reflection: How do the saints contribute to my
understanding of my own journey of faith? What
beatitude can I try to live more fully in my life?
In Our Parish
Happy 90th Birthday... We wish very Happy
Birthday to Clarence Basiletti who celebrates his 90th
birthday this weekend! Congratulations and Happy
Birthday! May God continue to bless you!
Thank you to the Knights of Columbus
for leading the Rosary before each Mass in
October. Also, thank you to our Family Life
Committee for hosting breakfast for us last
weekend! We are truly blessed at St. Joseph!
Please remember in your prayers, all the sick,
homebound, and recovering in our parish.
Also, pray for those coping with physical or
mental conditions.
What is the difference between feast days
and solemnities? Feasts and solemnities differ in
terms of their importance. Solemnities are the highest
rank of celebration of the Church. Christmas, Easter, All
Saints Day, the Ascension, Corpus Christi, and other
celebrations of events of the life of Jesus are solemnities.
Far from being “solemn,” solemnities are joyful
occasions to celebrate. There are fewer solemnities than
feast days. Feast days honor important saints or events
in the lives of Jesus and Mary. The Catholic Church
celebrates these feasts because they are history of the
Church and of God’s saving love for us. They call to
mind sacred mysteries or events recorded in the history
of our redemption. (CCC. 1167)
Election Day is November 3, 2015
“In the Catholic tradition, responsible
citizenship is a virtue, and participation
in political life is a moral obligation.”

bienvenidos a venerar en la Capilla de la Virgen de
Guadalupe. Podemos encender una vela que permanece

velas por $6.00, etc.). Por favor usar sólo las velas de
la Capilla.
Una vez más celebramos Todos los Santos, cuando
honramos “aquellos miembros exaltados de la
Iglesia a través de los cuales nos dan, en nuestras
flaquezas, fuerza y buen ejemplo.” Estos hombres y
mujeres de todas las épocas de la historia cristiana
sirven como recordatorios para nosotros que en
todo tiempo y lugar que Dios nos llama a vivir
nuestra fe “siempre dedicados a servir a Dios y al
prójimo.” El escritor del libro de Apocalipsis prevé
una multitud celestial ,” que nadie podía contar”
y “vestidos con túnicas blancas.” Esta multitud
supera a los 144,000 “marcado con el sello,” lo
que indica que no se puede poner un límite en
el número que desea guardar. Vienen “de toda
nación, raza, pueblo y lengua,” agitando ramas
de palma, un símbolo de la victoria. Ellos Cantan
las alabanzas del Cordero celestial: “La alabanza
y la gloria, la sabiduría y la acción de gracias, el
honor, el poder, y la fuerza, se le debe para siempre
a nuestro Dios.” El autor de 1era. de Juan nos
recuerda que somos “hijos de Dios” a causa del
amor de Dios por nosotros. Pero a medida que los
hijos de Dios enfrentamos resistencia del mundo.
“El mundo no nos conoce ... (porque) no conocía a
(Cristo Jesús).” Pero Dios tiene más guardado para
nosotros: “cuando se revele, seremos semejantes a
él.” Los santos que veneramos hoy ya tienen una
participación en dimensión de la vida en Dios y por
sus oraciones nos ayuden a crecer en santidad.
Las Bienaventuranzas de Mateo a menudo en
paralelo a los Diez Mandamientos dados a Moisés
en otra montaña. En las Bienaventuranzas de Jesús
no nos dice qué hacer o qué no hacer; nos dice lo
que debemos ser. Estamos llamados a ser mansos,
misericordiosos, y los responsables de la paz. Nosotros
también estamos llamados a buscar la bendición en
nuestro luto y en nuestro sufrimiento, ya que incluso
en momentos como este Dios está con nosotros y se
compromete a renovarnos y fortalecernos.
Para reflexionar: ¿Cómo los santos contribuyen
a mi comprensión de mi propio camino de fe?
Qué bienaventuranza puedo tratar de vivir más
plenamente en mi vida en el año que viene?
