MAY THE SOULS OF THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED,
THROUGH THE MERCY OF GOD, REST IN PEACE. AMEN.
As we observe ALL SOULS’ DAY tomorrow let
us remember all those parishioners whose
Funeral/Memorial Masses were celebrated
here at St. Elizabeth since All Souls Day
2014.
Mañana observamos el Día de Los Fieles Difuntos, recor-demos a aquellos feligreses por los que hemos celebrado Mi-sas de Funeral/Memorial aquí en St. Elizabeth desde el último Día de los Fieles Difuntos del 2014.
REST IN PEACE, YOU ARE MISSED AND LOVED We commend to God’s great mercy the soul of our long time parishioner SALLY BALDETTI. She died Saturday, October 24. 2015 Her Fu-neral is going to be Friday, November 6, at 11:00am and her Vigil will be Thursday, Novem-ber 5, at 7;00pm. Both Services will be here in
our Church. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. May Jesus, the Good Shepherd, comfort her family.
WE LONG TO SEE GOD’S FACE “Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.” This anti-phon for today’s responsorial psalm offers the focus for today’s readings. As we on earth celebrate the triumph of all the saints the ones officially canonized by the Church, and the countless others who have also reached heaven—we add nothing to their glory. But we
give ourselves reason to hope. We too long to see the face of God and believe that we can one day be counted among those whose robes, as John tells us in the book of Revela-tion, are washed “white in the blood of the Lamb.” The passage from John’s First Letter offers further as-surance: we are God’s children who will one day see God. But today’s Gospel pulls us past longing and reassurance into action. Jesus clearly tells us what we must do to be counted among the saints. We must be poor in spirit, hungry for holiness, merciful, single-hearted, and peacemakers! Then we too will see the face of God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
ANHELAMOS VER EL ROSTRO DE DIOS “Esta es la raza de los que buscan tu rostro Señor”. Esta antífona para el salmo responsorial de hoy brinda el tono de la lecturas de hoy. Cuando en la tierra celebramos la victoria de todos los santos, de los que están canonizados oficialmente por la Iglesia y de los sinnúmero que también han llegado al cielo, no sumamos nada a su gloria. Sino que recibimos un motivo más para tener esperanzas. Nosotros, también, anhelamos ver el rostro de Dios y creemos que un día podremos estar entre aquellos cuyas túnicas, como nos dice Juan en el libro del Apo-calipsis, han sido lavadas y blanqueadas “con la sangre del Cor-dero”. El pasaje de la primera carta del apóstol San Juan nos garantiza que somos hijos de Dios y un día veremos a Dios tal cual es. Pero el Evangelio de hoy nos hace pasar del anhelo y la certeza a la acción. Jesús nos dice claramente qué debemos hacer para estar entre los santos. Debemos ser pobres de espíritu, misericordiosos, limpios de corazón, tener hambre y sed de justicia y trabajar por la paz. Entonces, nosotros tam-bién veremos el rostro de Dios.
DID YOU KNOW? Monitor online activity on all devices In the past, parents had been advised to place the family computer in an open area such as a kitchen or family room so that they may easily monitor activity. Today, most social con-tact, especially among young people, is conducted almost ex-clusively on smart phones and tablets. Technology continues to rapidly change. All of us must continue our efforts to stay abreast of the many new mobile device apps that may be used by young people to communicate with others and could poten-tially be used to manipulate or abuse them. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Mobile App Danger,” email: [email protected]. ¿SABIA USTED? Monitoree en línea la actividad de todos los aparatos En el pasado, se ha advertido a los padres de familia que coloquen la computadora de la familia en un área abierta como la cocina o el cuarto de descanso familiar para que ellos puedan monitorear con facilidad toda actividad. En la actualidad, la mayor parte del contacto social, especialmente entre los jóvenes, es conducida casi exclusivamente a través de los teléfonos celulares y las tabletas. La tecnología continúa cambiando rápidamente. Todos debemos continuar nuestros esfuerzos de mantenernos informados sobre las muchas nuevas aplicaciones para aparatos móviles que pueden ser usados por las personas jóvenes para comunicarse con otros, y que potencialmente pueden ser usados para manipular o abusar a jóvenes. Para una copia del artículo en VIRTUS® “Mobile App Danger” (Peligro de las aplicaciones móviles) por favor envíe un email a: [email protected].
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Eight hundred years ago, the church’s practice of penance underwent major revision as theologians, called scholastics, re-flected on the practice of their day. By then, penance was nor-mally a very secret rite, celebrated completely apart from the community. Public penance had mostly disappeared behind the walls of monasteries and the cloister grills of convents. The scholastics trimmed penance down to bare essentials, even sweeping aside age‑old traditions like a laying on of hands and prayers of absolution. All that was left was the confessor’s sim-ple statement, “Ego te absolvo,” “I absolve you.” In 1614 a new ritual book tried to make penance more public and solemn. It suggested, but did not require, that the priest wear a surplice and stole, and hear the confession in a confes-sional. For the first time, we have the directive that the priest be separated from the penitent by a screen, a rule that some bishops applied very strictly. By the 1940s, large numbers of Catholics availed themselves of the sacrament of confession every Saturday, and most people thought confession was a pre-requisite for Communion. In some urban parish churches, con-fessionals were staffed, usually by the junior priest, for several hours every day, even during the celebration of Mass. It is re-markable how quickly things changed, but as we have seen, the system has collapsed before and what often comes next is an impulse of the Spirit, new life, and a fresh start. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
SVDP HOLIDAY FUND DRIVE
The St. Elizabeth
Conference of St. Vin-
cent de Paul invites you
to share in our Thanks-
giving Food Drive pro-
gram. In working very
closely with the needy of our parish community, we have
found that many families celebrate Thanksgiving with a vari-
ety of food, adding their own unique touch to the holiday.
Therefore, instead of requesting contributions of non-
perishable food items for the more than fifty families we
support, we are asking parishioners to simply provide a mone-
tary contribution to our Conference. The money we raise will
allow us to purchase restricted Ralphs grocery gift certifi-
cates, a type which excludes alcohol and tobacco sales, thus
allowing each family to select food items which meet their
individual needs for celebrating the holiday. In order to do
this, we estimate that we will need to raise at least $4,000
this Thanksgiving. We thank you for your tremendous sup-
port throughout the year, and ask that you continue with
your generosity and support our Thanksgiving Food Program.
Checks should be made payable to St. Elizabeth SVDP, and
can be either submitted or mailed to the parish center, at-
tention Deacon Charles Mitchell, SVDP Treasurer. The par-
ish mailing address is St. Elizabeth Church, 1879 N. Lake
Ave., Altadena, CA 91001. You may also place your contribu-
tion in the collection basket, in an envelope made out to
SVDP- St. Elizabeth Conference, Holiday Fund Drive. All
contributions are tax deductible, and we ask that they be
provided no later than November 16th. God bless you and
your commitment to the needy of our parish community. Our
Conference members, as well as those you help. will keep you
always in their prayers.
BOOKMARK CONTEST
Congratulations to the winners of the 2015 St. Eliza-
beth Knights of Columbus Respect Life bookmark con-
test. Sophie Barisano, 5th grade, and Claire Cook, 7th
grade, made bookmarks with clear bold messages about
respect for all human life. Their bookmarks will be avail-
able free at the parish center and after Mass.

CROP WALK
The CROP Walk is an annual Pasadena
area event sponsored by Church World
Service which raises funds to find so-
lutions to world hunger due to disas-
ters and lack of resources. A portion
of the proceeds benefits local food banks, including our St.
Vincent de Paul Society. The walk, which is a 5K stroll down
Foothill Blvd., with a 3K option, will take place on Sunday,
November 8, at 1:00 at Flintridge Prep in La Canada. In
addition to the walk there will be activities, music, prizes,
snacks and food trucks, making this a wonderful
event. Please consider being part of the St. Elizabeth
Team as a walker, sponsor or donor. Look for the CROP
walk table in the patio today. Thank you for your support.
GREETINGS! The Market committee of ST. ELIZABETH would like to extend an invitation to participate as a vendor at The Market at St. Elizabeth School. It will be held on Sunday, November 15, 2015 from 9am-4pm. The event will be outside on the school grounds and
will include a variety of activities for children, food and beverage vendors, raffles, and vendors with handmade goods. I have attached a copy of the contract. Booth space is a flat fee of $50 (but we are extending the $40 "early bird registration if the contract and fee can be at the school office by noon on Friday, October 31st) and re-quires that you bring your own equipment for the booth. Please contact school 626 797 7727 , Julia Moore or Gina Robles. We hope that you will consider taking part in The Market.
National Black Catholic History Month November is National Black Catholic History Month and Tuesday is the feast of Saint Martin de Porres (1579-1639), a Dominican lay brother from Lima, Peru. St. Martin is known for his deep love for Jesus and his Blessed Mother, his love and care for everyone in need--regardless of status, his amazing gifts of healing, and spiritual counsel. He worked for peace and understanding
among all groups in society, and even communicated well with animals. He is a model for us of how to fulfill the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Read more about him in Saints of Africa by Vincent J. O'Malley, C,M., Our Sunday Visitor Pub-lishing Division (2001).

DID YOU KNOW?
Trick-or-treat safely
Halloween is a great night to go out, dress up,
have fun, and eat treats. Halloween is also an impor-
tant time to go over safety rules. Tell your kids to
stay with the adults when they’re trick-or-treating,
and to keep with the group when they go up to
neighbors’ doors. If you are the adult responsible for
the group, make sure you know exactly who is in your
group, and what they’re wearing. For more Halloween
safety tips, visit http://www.safekids.org/tip/

¿SABÍA USTED?
Un seguro ‘trick-or-treat’
La noche de Halloween es perfecta para salir,
vestir un disfraz, y comer dulces. Halloween es
también un momento perfecto para repasar algunas
reglas de seguridad. Dígale a sus niños que se
mantengan cerca del grupo de adultos que son
responsables para acompañarlos al ‘trick-or-treat’. Si
usted forma parte de este grupo, asegúrese de saber
exactamente quién hace parte de su grupo, y que
están vistiendo como disfraz. Para más datos en

INTENTION / INTENCIONES
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En el Evangelio de san Mateo se encuentra el sermón mas
largo de Jesucristo. Abarca tres capítulos y contiene una se-
rie de instrucciones para quienes desean ser sus discípulos. El
famoso Sermón de la Montaña, es para Jesús y los cristianos
lo que los Diez Mandamientos son para Moisés y los judíos.
Jesús proclama la nueva Ley. La Ley de Israel se sintetiza en
los Diez Mandamientos, mientras que la ley cristiana se resu-
me en ocho bienaventuranzas.
Estas bienaventuranzas son algo extrañas ya que unen
cosas completamente opuestas a la felicidad, y las beatifica.
Es decir, son cosas aparentemente contradictorias: “Dichosos
los que lloran”; “felices los pobres”; “bendito tú cuando te ca-
lumnien por causa mía”. Jesús toma lo que la sociedad maldice
y lo convierte en camino de bendición, porque nuestros cami-
nos y pensamientos no son los de Dios. Dios ve mucho más de
lo que podemos ver o imaginar. Por eso las bienaventuranzas
son ocho y no diez, porque más que una ley para cumplir, las
bienaventuranzas son la esperanza de un nuevo día. Son la
promesa de un nuevo inicio para la humanidad, gracias a Dios.
