ASSUMPTION GROTTO NEWS ASSUMPTION GROTTO CHURCH NOVEMBER 2, 2014 Assumption Grotto Parish - 1832 - Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine - 1881 - A Pastor’s Descant " o not let your hearts be troubled. You D have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself."- Jn 14:1-3b T his is a liturgically rich time of the Church year. Yesterday, November 1, commemorated the multitude of saints in heaven whose names are unknown. The book of Revelation indicates a vast number of them. Indeed, when thinking on the totality of humanity since the creation-a staggering number of men and women-there ought to be, human malice and sin notwithstanding, a goodly number of holy people among them who died at peace with God and in a state of grace and who now inhabit heaven. Some writers have speculated that perhaps one third of human souls are in hell. That guess (derived from the estimated parallel number of fallen angels) would mean two-thirds are either in heaven now, or else on the way, i.e. in purgatory. The lastmentioned brings me to speak about the complex subject of All Souls Day 2014, wherein today Sunday keeps the observance for all those following the ‘new’ rite (the Ordinary Form), while for those keeping the Tridentine calendar, All Souls is transferred this year to Monday, November 3. To recap from last week’s Grotto News: For today, Sunday: the Excerpts from the Lectionary for Mass ©2001, 1998, 1970 CCD. 6:30 a.m. and Noon Masses commemorate All Souls, while the 9:30 a.m. Mass is that of the 21st Sunday after Pentecost. Moreover, the noon Mass today is an orchestral Mass, with the affecting Requiem Mass in C minor by Luigi Cherubini. For Monday: All Souls Day will be celebrated in all Tridentine Masses. Masses in the morning will be more or less continuous from 7:30 a.m. through 9:45 a.m. Then there will also be three evening Masses: 7:00, 7:30 and 8:00. p.m. You are all highly encouraged to attend many Masses on All Souls Day, so that prayers and the holy sacrifice may benefit the faithful departed in purgatory. Partial indulgences for the dead may be gained as well, that is, indulgences in addition to the plenary indulgence (see below). However, you should note that one may not receive Holy Communion more than twice on any day. I also want to mention that a Plenary Indulgence may be gained (once daily) for the dead, from November 1 through 8, by visiting our cemetery while praying there, even only mentally, for the faithful departed. In addition to these prayers one must be in a state of grace and not have even venial sin on one’s soul (an Act of Contrition beforehand is advised to remedy such a condition); one must also have recourse to sacramental Confession and Communion, and say some prayers for the intentions of the Pope (these last conditions may be fulfilled some days before, or even after, the cemetery visit[s]), but the reception of Holy Communion is more fittingly made on the same day as the cemetery visit.

Our special homilist for this noon Mass will be Monsignor Robert McClory, the Moderator of the Curia for the Archdiocese of Detroit. His presence here ought to make this Mass well-attended Mass.

Men of the Sacred Heart: Prayer for Veterans Heavenly Father, on this day, help us remember those who gave of themselves to keep us safe and secure. Enkindle in our consciences a desire to serve those who served their country selflessly. Give us the grace to aid those who have given aid and protection to us and others, both here and overseas. Let us never forget the causes for which they fought or the bravery they showed on the battlefield. May we be always be mindful of those who paid the price for our freedom just as your Son gave his life to free us from the bondage of sin. Amen.
