All Saints Day 11/1
The earliest certain observance of a feast in honor of all the
saints is an early fourth-century commemoration of "all the
martyrs." In the early seventh century, after successive waves
of invaders plundered the catacombs, Pope Boniface IV
gathered up some 28 wagonloads of bones and reinterred
them beneath the Pantheon, a Roman temple dedicated to all
the gods. The pope rededicated the shrine as a Christian
church. According to Venerable Bede, the pope intended
"that the memory of all the saints might in the future be
honored in the place which had formerly been dedicated to
the worship not of gods but of demons" (On the Calculation
of Time). But the rededication of the Pantheon, like the
earlier commemoration of all the martyrs, occurred in May.
Many Eastern Churches still honor all the saints in the spring,
either during the Easter season or immediately after
Pentecost. How the Western Church came to celebrate this
feast, now recognized as a solemnity, in November is a
puzzle to historians. The Anglo-Saxon theologian Alcuin
observed the feast on November 1 in 800, as did his friend
Arno, Bishop of Salzburg. Rome finally adopted that date in
the ninth century. This feast first honored martyrs. Later,
when Christians were free to worship according to their
consciences, the Church acknowledged other paths to
sanctity. In the early centuries the only criterion was popular
acclaim, even when the bishop's approval became the final
step in placing a commemoration on the calendar. The first
papal canonization occurred in 993; the lengthy process now
required to prove extraordinary sanctity took form in the last
500 years. Today's feast honors the obscure as well as the
famous—the saints each of us have known.
“After this I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one
could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue.
They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing
white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.... [One
of the elders] said to me, ‘These are the ones who have
survived the time of great distress; they have washed their
robes and made them white in the blood of the
Lamb’” (Revelation 7:9, 14).

This weekend we are celebrating two feasts, All
Saints Day on Saturday and All Souls Day on Sunday. On
All Saints Day we rejoice with all the people of God who
have gone before us and rest in God’s peace in heaven. On
All Souls we pray for all the faithful who have died and not
yet completed their purification before entering the presence
of God. We commonly refer to these as the souls in
purgatory. We might ask why they are undergoing this
purification? It is because to abide in the presence of God
requires the removal of all remnants of sin on our souls. The
remnant of sin on our soul is the temporal punishment due to
sin that has not been remitted, even sins forgiven in
confession. To put it simply and bluntly, all sinners have to
pay the price for sin because of God’s perfect Justice.
Remember we have mentioned in the past that
God’s infinite Mercy and perfect Justice go hand-in-hand.
God’s infinite Mercy has already been attained for us sinners
through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Therefore,
the eternal consequences of sin have been fully paid by Jesus
for our salvation. All we have to do is repent and ask for
God’s mercy and we have salvation. But all sin also has
temporal consequences because of perfect Justice. When our
sins are forgiven in the sacrament of reconciliation through
our repentance, we have salvation (assuming we have made a
good confession). But we still have to make up for the
consequences of sin in time. This is because all sin damages
or breaks the bond of the relationship of love between us and
God and between us and our neighbors. Jesus repairs the
damage with God; we are responsible for repairing the
damage between us and our neighbors.
We pray today for the souls in purgatory because
our prayers are acts of charity that help repair the damage of
sin even in others. We do this because we are trying to learn
to Love as Jesus taught us. May God bless us in this sacred
duty. Amen!

TILLIE AND MAIZEY: – Tillie was remembering her Grandma
Molly when they went to church on All Souls Day to pray for
their family who had died. Grandma Molly was a small, quiet, but funny lady, who loved to go to church and to pray.
Tillie liked to spend Saturday night with grandma & grandpa,
and get up very early for mass. They would walk the few
blocks in the quiet early morning to go to 6:00 mass. Most
people were still in bed. Tillie wondered why people would
get up so early just to go to church. She usually fell asleep at
that early mass, but never snored.
BRINGING COMMUNION TO THE HOMEBOUND AND
NURSING HOMES: If you or a loved one are unable to come
to Mass, or are in a care facility, we have wonderful ministers
who would be happy to bring Holy Communion to you, whether it is for a short term, or longer term.
We are here for you! Ways we have ministered: We have
given hope to those going through a crisis, have given families
comfort, and brought the love and strength of Jesus to the weary; and have prayed with someone who was dying.
Please call Helen Herman for a Communion Minister to visit
you. Be sure to leave your name and phone number.
RE Challenge – Remember those family & friends who
have died. Talk about what they meant to you in your
life.

you know how easy it is to use them. THANK YOU for all the
