THE COMMEMORATION OF ALL THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED
“ALL SOULS’ DAY”
DEAR PARISHIONERS:
A PRAYER For ALL SOULS
As we come to the Solemnity of All Saints November 1st and All
Souls November 2nd we think of our Catholic understanding of the
communion of saints: the spiritual union of the pilgrims on earth,
the dead who are being purified, and the blessed in heaven (see
the Catholic Catechism #962).
To help us understand what is expected of us as pilgrims on earth
are the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy shown below:
LORD, remember your faithful departed.
In baptism they died with Christ;
May they also share his resurrection,
When Christ will raise their mortal bodies
And make them like his own in glory.
Welcome into your kingdom
Our departed brothers and sisters,
THE CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY
And all who have died in your friendship.
! Feed the hungry
! Give drink to the thirsty
! Clothe the naked
! Shelter the homeless
! Visit the sick
! Visit the imprisoned
! Bury the dead
There we hope to share in your glory
When every tear will be wiped away.
On that day we shall see you,
Our God, as you are.
We shall become like you
And praise you forever
THE SPIRITUAL WORKS OF MERCY
Through Christ our Lord,
! Admonish the sinner
! Instruct the ignorant
! Counsel the doubtful
! Comfort the sorrowful
! Bear wrongs patiently
! Forgive all injuries
! Pray for the living and the dead
From whom all good things come.
Amen.
May we renew our desire to work together as the Christian
pilgrims on earth to glorify God and bring blessings to others in
the love of Jesus.
Fr. Galvon

STEW ARDSHIP REFLECTION
Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the
faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and
mercy are upon his elect, and he watches over his holy
ones.” - W isdom of Solomon 3:9. Here’s the ironic thing
about people who are generous. Those that give freely and
cheerfully do not do it to be rewarded. They do it to show
their love for God and their neighbors. Yet, because of their
generosity, they typically are given m ore than they gave
away!
The Cathedral G ift Shop is looking for volunteers to
help w eekdays before and after the 12:10 & 5:10pm Mass.
Please em ail annehighm ore@ yahoo.co.uk

Fiesta de Todos los Santos
En la fiesta de hoy celebram os a todos los santos, aquellos que
la Iglesia ha reconocido por las cosas que hicieron durante su
vida, com o cristianos com prom etidos en " am ar a Dios y al
prójim o com o a sí m ism os "; am or expresado a través de una
vida llena de virtudes y buenas obras; personas que vivieron en
plenitud su vocación cristiana, aun en m edio de dificultades
com o la incom prensión, la persecución y el m artirio; y que por
eso son dignas de gran reconocim iento de nuestra parte.
Pero no solam ente a aquellos que se les ha reconocido
públicam ente su santidad, sino nuestros fam iliares, am igos y
conocidos difuntos, de los cuales esperam os que ya estén
gozando de la presencia del Señor. Hoy rezam os por todos
ellos y, al m ism o tiem po, nos encom endam os a su intercesión
por nosotros ante Dios.
Se aproxima
La festividad de Ntra. Sra. de Guadalupe. Primeramente Dios, el
próximo Domingo tendremos más información al respecto.
La Palabra en tu Vida
¿ Qué significa ser dichoso ? ¿ Qué significa decir: " Creo en la
resurrección de los m uertos y en la vida del m undo futuro " ?
Existe una diferencia entre escribir con letra m inúscula o
m ayúscula la palabra " vida ". Tam bién existe diferencia entre
felicidad y alegría. Felicidad está m as relacionada a ver
cubiertas nuestras necesidades y gustos desde el punto de vista
m aterial. Alegría está m ás relacionada al plano espiritual, esto
quiere decir que aunque existan carencias m ateriales, nuestro
espíritu confiando en el Señor está anticipadam ente gozando la
confianza puesta en Él. Recordem os las palabras del Arcángel
Gabriel a la Virgen María: " Alégrate, llena de Gracia . . ."
