QUESTION: Speaking of Purgatory, exactly where is it? Look for the answer next week) THE DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA PANTRY CORNER The Mother Theresa’s Hands and Hearts Ministry at St. Dominic Catholic Church is temporarily closed as it is in the process of being relocated. Thank you for all your donations & support NOVEMBER 9, 2014 TIME AND PRAYER (Chapel Attendance — 10/24 - 10/30/14 (Friday to Thursday) # of People # of Hours 205 295 Total Possible Coverage 168 Hrs Actual Hours Covered 168 Hours Not Covered 0 Hrs Hours Needing Substitutes: 11 ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S QUESTION: What exactly is “Temporal Punishment” for our sins? “Temporal Punishment” is what we carry with us into the afterlife. Every sin, even “venial” sin, contains an unhealthy attachment to people or things which must be purified, either here on earth or in the state we call Purgatory following our death. When all temporal punishment has been purified, we are then ready for the full rewards of Heaven. Special Opportunity for Ministers Do you want your spiritual life grow through your Ministry? We are offering an interactive evening dealing with the four “Non-Negotiables” of our faith: a personal relationship with God, a mellowness of heart and spirit, a sense of social justice and a community of worship that helps pull it all together. All Lectors, EMHC’s or any other adult or teen who ministers in any capacity, are invited to join us from 7:00 to 8:30 pm, Thursday, November 20th in the choir room. This is an opportunity for spiritual enrichment and NOT a training session. Pr esenter s will be DeWayne Mayo and Bobbie Schauffele. We hope to have all our ministers participate!

I have had a few questions about indulgences so I thought it would be good to talk about them. “An indulgence is the remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sin whose guilt has already been forgiven. A properly disposed member of the Christian faithful can obtain an indulgence under prescribed conditions through the help of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of satisfactions of Christ and the Saints. An indulgence is partial if it removes part of the temporal punishment due to sin, or plenary if it removes all punishment.” (CCC 1471) (see also Enchiridion Indulgentiarum: Normae et Concessiones, Apostolic Penitentiary 1999, N1 – N3) Think of it like this. You are playing catch with a friend and the ball goes through the neighbor’s front window, breaking it. You go to the neighbor and apologize promising that it will never happen again. (This is like going to confession). The neighbor forgives you and tells you he isn’t mad, and is happy you came to him to apologize. (This is like the absolution received in confession). However, even though the neighbor forgave you, the window is still broken and someone has to pay to fix it. (This is the temporal punishment). An indulgence is like having insurance to help you pay for the window. By completing the indulgence, some or all of the punishment is taken away (like some of the cost of a new window is taken away by insurance). I hope that you have found this explanation helpful. Let us remember to pray for each other and, particularly during the month of November, let us pray for our deceased relatives and friends. If you have additional questions, please ask me. As always, any questions that you may have about our faith, history or Holy Mother Church that you would like to see in my column, please e-mail me at [email protected]. 7:30a KC Breakfast (7:30 am to 10:30 am) 9:15a Bible Study: The Study of Acts of the Apostles in the Family Room 9:30a Sacramental Prep Classes 11:00a Confirmation 2 Retreat at Ponderosa returns in time for the 11:00 am Mass 12:15p Franciscan JPIC Meeting Your servant in Christ, Fr.
