Dear Parishioners, Often times we have a tendency in life to overthink things, as well as complicate things that are not to be complicated. This often occurs even in the realm of our faith. If we were to ask, what is the most important part of our faith, I wonder what answer might be given. This was the case even in Jesus’ time. The Jewish people had a complex set of laws to follow, both written and oral. These laws governed the behavior of the “good people,” and separated these people from those who did not follow the law—those not so good, commonly called “sinners.” In an effort to once again entrap Jesus, the leaders or the “good people” asked Him, “Teacher, which commandment of the law is the greatest?” I am always amazed at Jesus’ keen understanding of human nature. He knew their intentions so he juxtaposed the two commandments that were very much central to their faith life. He stated that “you shall love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment.” This is the beginning point of our relationship with God, and the very purpose of our lives—to love Him with every fiber of our being. But then Jesus states, “you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” From Jesus’ understanding, the “whole law and the prophets depend upon these two commandments.” Yes, this is the foundation of our moral lives and are quite simple. Yes, these commandments are not complicated. But no, these commandments are not easily followed for both go against our very nature as human beings. As Jesus instructs us as to what is important in our lives as His followers, may each of us translate them into our daily lives. Next Saturday, November 1st, is the Solemnity of All Saints. Because this Solemnity falls on a Saturday, it is Not a Holyday of Obligation. In fact, the evening Mass for that day will be the anticipated feast of All Soul’s Day. I remember in my childhood serving a number of Masses on that day for the priests of the parish for it was on this day that each priest had the privilege of celebrating three Masses. Unfortunately because of the decline in vocations, this is a necessary reality rather than a one time privilege. For those of you who remember the “Apostle’s Creed,” you will remember proclaiming our belief in the “Communion of Saints.” This Communion of Saints is defined at the Church militant (those living saints here on earth), the Church suffering (those saints in purgatory), and the Church triumphant (those saints in heaven.) Reinforcing our communion with each other through prayer and sacrifice, we will have the Book of the Dead present near the St. Joseph altar and shrine. If you have a deceased loved one that you want remembered, please write their names on a form in the Narthex. Throughout November we will be remembering all those listed in this Book of the Dead. We also will have a special Mass of Remembrance next Sunday at the 9:30 a.m. Mass where parishioners who have died this past year will be remembered at Mass. Our celebrations this month are a strong reminder that our lives here on earth are only transitory, preparing ourselves for the ultimate goal of being at home with the Lord in heaven. May each of the deceased listed in our Book of the Dead rest in peace.

Next weekend, November 1st and 2nd, a member of our stewardship committee will be speaking at all Masses, introducing our stewardship renewal which will be held on November 15th and 16th. I ask for your attention and cooperation as we continue to pursue being a “stewardship parish.” We are planning to renew and restructure our “pastoral council” throughout this new year. For the members of the old council, I invite you to attend a meeting to be held this Tuesday, October 28th, at 6:30 p.m. in Seton Hall to discuss the restructuring plans. A few ramblings—I still have my bubble in my eye but the doctor is confident that it will dissipate and the double vision or lack of focus will subside. Keep me in your prayers. Continue to support the Annual Catholic Services Appeal. Your support helps the diocese in its ministries and also assists St. Peter parish in its quest to achieve our goal.
