Thirtieth First Sunday in Ordinary Time November 3, 2019

Annual Memorial Mass is Wednesday November 6, at 7pm Our Christ the Servant Parish Annual Memorial Mass, espe-cially remembering those who died recently and this past year, will be held Wednesday Nov. 6, at 7:00 p.m. A reception will follow in Seton Hall. Everyone is encouraged to attend, to re-

member those who have gone before us.

We will remember these individuals with a lit candle brought forth by a family member. All are welcome at this Mass re-membering the lives of those who have shared in our community. However the names of those who have completed their earthly journey this year will be remembered by name at this Mass.

I, John, saw a new heaven and a new earth. I heard a loud voice cry out: “This is God’s dwelling among the people of the earth. God will live with them and they will be his people, and he will be their God who will be with them always. God will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning, crying out or pain, for the former world has passed away.” Then God said “See, I make all things new.”

Anointing of the Sick will be offered after all Masses next weekend. Saturday November 9, after 4:30 PM Mass and Sunday November 10, after 9 AM and 11 AM Mass.

The Anointing of the Sick is one of the Seven Sacraments. Along with the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation, the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is one of the two Sacraments of Healing. · Before the Second Vatican Council, it was referred to as “Extreme Unction” because it was conferred primarily upon those at the point of death. Since the Second Vatican Council, this sacrament has been renamed the Anointing of the Sick to indicate that it is intended also for a broader group of baptized who are tried by illness (i.e. those in danger of death from sickness or injuries, serious surgery, old age), in the hope that the Lord might restore them to health and/ or prepare them for eternal life: whichever is conducive to their salvation. This sacrament may be repeated should the recipient recover health and then experience another grave illness.

Here at Christ the Servant we have a

grief group that meets on Sunday af-

ternoons from 2 to 3:30. What is it

like attending a grief group? First, it

is not a crying session. We start out

with a prayer and then a scripture

reading encouraging participants with a lesson from Jesus

about loss instead of focusing on the topic of grief. It is an

opportunity to share experiences, if so desired, and to hear

how others are dealing with their loss. One of the greatest

benefits that I see is that the members of the group have

become friends and do things together outside of the meet-

ings. Deacon Tom
