Dear Parishioners,
It is all because of the Irish, or maybe the Germans. Why is All Saints Day on November 1st? Originally there was a feast for All Saints, especially Martyrs, in both the Eastern and Western Churches celebrated at Easter time, either the Friday after Easter or the Sunday after Pentecost. This is still the case in the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches.
Around the year 850 the feast was move to November 1st in Rome. In Ireland, England, and Northern Europe November 1st was the day for All Saints. The Church in the North of Europe replaced the Celtic and Germanic practice of the commemoration of the dead with All Saints. Of course, the pagan feast eventually became the way Halloween came about.
So, we celebrate those faithful who have gone before us who are with the Lord in Heaven, know and unknown. We are called to make it our goal to be with them. The schedule for All Saints is as follows; Thursday October 31st 4:30 pm at Our Lady of Lourdes, Friday November 1st 8:15 am at St. Bernadette, 12 noon at Our Lady of Lourdes, and 6 pm at St. Bernadette. In addition, there will and 8:15 am Mass for All Souls Day, November 2nd, at St. Bernadette.
One point to consider in todays Gospel passage: the Pharisee is speaking to himself essentially, see how good I am, while the tax collector is praying to God in his need for mercy.
God Bless,
Fr. Dave

That we are to kneel after receiving the body and precious blood of Christ until
the Eucharist is stored safely in the tabernacle? This is a sign of respect for the ‘REAL PRESENCE’ of Jesus Christ. We should kneel until the blessed sacrament is placed in the tabernacle and the door has been closed, which signals the end of the communion rite.

Stewardship Bulletin Reflection: October 27, 2019 Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
SIR 35:12-14, 16-18; PS 34: 2-3, 17-19, 23; 2 TM 4:6-8,16-18; LK 18:9-14
In last week’s readings, we were encouraged to remain persistent and constant in our prayer life. Today, we focus on the proper attitude of a steward at prayer. In the Gospel passage from Luke, Jesus illustrates the humble attitude we must have as we approach God in prayer through a parable of two praying men. One is a Pharisee, a man with respected status, theological training and all the right credentials. He marches right up to the front of the temple to speak a prayer “to himself,” thanking God for making him just a little bit superior to everyone else!
The other man is a tax collector, known by those of his day to be a cheater and a sell-out to his fellow Jews. In contrast to the Pharisee, he stands near the back and cries out to God in a simple and honest way: “Be merciful to me a sinner.”
Jesus tells us that it is the tax collector and not the Pharisee who leaves the temple justified. Why?
The Pharisee was full of self as he approached God. He felt no real need for God as he rattled off his resume of good works and spiritual practices. He was simply going through the motions of prayer. His lack of humility prevented him from entering into a real dialogue with the Father. The tax collector, by contrast, emptied himself as he approached God. He recognized who he truly was (a sinner) and asked for mercy, leaving all the rest up to God. This is the kind of attitude God can work with! This is how a good steward prays — with trust, with complete openness to God’s will, with a listening mind and heart, ready to serve as God leads.

Rachel’s Vineyard-Kansas City Healing hearts in the heart of the nation
For many women and men, the pain that follows an
abortion is too much to handle. Instead of facing the
abortion, many turn to drugs, alcohol, and sexual
promiscuity, hoping to find a temporary numbness to the pain. If you, or
someone you know, is suffering from the pain of a past abortion, we can
help. Healing the pain of abortion one weekend at a time is Rachel’s
Vineyard’s ministry. The last 2019 Kansas City retreat will be held on
October 25-27. Please call (816) 679-4973 or email [email protected]
for confidential information and to start the healing.

Feast Day: October 24
“The Lord watches over you with sighs of love.”
“The altar points our way to heaven.”
“The truly humble person is heard less than others.”
“Good example is the most eloquent of all sermons.”
“Legions of angels surround the tabernacle in adoration.”
“Dip your gift of love into the wounds of Jesus. Its perfume will ascend to heaven.”
“Souls dedicated to God are purified through suffering.”
“Fidelity in trials will produce divine blessings.”
“The Church is our Paradise on earth.”
“The Eucharist acts as a magnet for the friends of God.”
“The prudent man is careful not to believe all he hears.”
“Protect your lamp from every worldly breath which could extinguish the flame.”
“The Eucharist is the treasury of God’s love.”
“Good works mature by means of prayer and sacrifice.”
“It is much better to obey than to command.”
“Peace of heart often restores health of body.”
“Jesus awaits your adoration in the Eucharist.”
“Leave the judgment of others to God. He alone knows.”

A good death is everything, especially today where people think only of things and enjoyment here on earth, rejecting eternity.” “The fountain of holy love is in Jesus Christ and we have Jesus with us in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. From that throne of love, how often He enlightens the minds of His children, and how many again find their peace of heart.” “No person can do the work assigned by God for another.” “Plant your heart in Jesus Crucified and all the thorns will seem like roses.” “Love can always find ways to comfort suffering.” “Our Lord gives us the treasure of true peace which springs from the inexhaustible fountain of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.” “Remember that priests are human and have defects.
