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.” U.S. Catholic Bishops.

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?
