Pat Coyne and Jerry Nichols Co-Chair Finance Committee 1-043 November 9, 2014 The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica Dear Parishioners, Last Tuesday evening, November 4, our parish hosted the annual Memorial Mass for all the deceased parishioners and loved ones who have died over the last year. The Church was filled with family members who came to pray and remember those family members and friends who have passed from this life to the next. One of the poignant parts of the Liturgy was the Litany of Remembrance during the Prayer of the Faithful. Following petitions for various needs, the names of the deceased were read out individually with a pause between each name. As the name of a particular loved one was called, members of the family got up from their pews, took a carnation from the vases in the center aisle and proceeded up the aisle to the sanctuary where they placed their flower in a vase in front of the altar in memory of their loved one. Several times during the reading of the names there was a pause during which our cantor sang: “I have called you by name, I have made you my own. I am with you for all times, you are mine.” Our Liturgy focused on our Faith which tells us that we are a Resurrection people, not a death people. It was obvious that the pain of loss was still present in many of those who were present for this Liturgy, especially during the Litany of Remembrance. The tears were there on many faces as they came up the aisle with their flower and recalled the loss of someone that they loved and someone who loved them. We realize that only time can heal the pains of those losses which we experience. The Scripture readings and the Litany of Remembrance are intended to lift our spirits from the darkness of death into the light of the Kingdom where our loved ones are enjoying the love of the Lord. It’s hard for us to imagine that those who have gone before us can be happy in their separation from those whom they loved and left behind here on earth. However, in the “Communion of Saints” they are enjoying their experience of the living God who fulfills all their needs and they know that someday in the future we will all join them in the Lord. During this month of November we do remember all of our loved ones who have gone to the Kingdom. May the Lord comfort all those in sorrow with their Faith in eternal life. May the Lord strengthen all of us who are still in the journey so that we might continue to walk with the assurances of our Faith in the Risen Lord! Eternal rest to all those who have gone before us. May they rest in Peace. Amen! Have a good week ahead! God bless you all. Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Msgr. Donald E. Leighton Pastor 2-043 November 9, 2014 PRAY FOR All those serving in defense of our Country, both at home and abroad, especially Captain Christopher S. Zipf, USMC, Ensign Thomas H. Coffey, USN, Lt. Col. Michael Clarke and SGT Christopher Rogers. Please pray for our soldiers assigned in Afghanistan and in other parts of the world.

But he also warns them that no other can dare replace Christ. Gospel: John 2:13-22 Here we come to the second of John’s seven “signs” pointing to the reality of Jesus, coming right after the Cana miracle story. John’s version of the event differs from that in the other three Gospels. After driving away the money-changers and the animal sellers, Jesus predicts the fate of another “temple.” If you would like to volunteer as a Lector or Extraordinary Minister, please call the rectory at 610-642-0938. 5-043 November 9, 2014 The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica CYO BASKETBALL REGISTRATION IS OPEN online Annual Thanksgiving Day Food Drive at the following link: http:// smsnarberth.org.assn.la If you would like to provide a Thanksgiving Dinner for the people served by the Patrician Society of Central Norristown you may do so by bringing it to the Church garage on Sunday, November 23 until 1:00 P.M.
