BISHOP MYRON J. COTTA’S NOVEMBER REFLECTION

My Dear People of God, Beginning with the first day of November, our attention is drawn to our relationship with the Church Triumphant, the Saints. Every time we proclaim our faith at Mass, as we pray the Creed, we proclaim our belief in the “communion of saints.” The lives of the Saints serve as models for us. Their example of a Christ-centered life can assist us in the sanctification of our daily lives here on earth. We are reminded that November 1 is a special day in the liturgical calendar of the Church. For all of us, it is a Holy Day of Obligation. It is a day for us to attend Mass and ask special intercession of our patron saints. This month offers a great opportunity for us to be better acquainted with the lives of the Saints. Reading about the life of the Saints makes for good spiritual reading during the month of November. It offers an opportunity to reflect upon those who lived faithful lives committed to Christ and the Church. Throughout the history of the Church, many of these “holy ones” gave up their lives as they were martyred, “witnessed,” to Jesus and his Gospel. Over the centuries the blood of the martyrs-saints has strengthened the Church to continue to be the “sanctuary of salvation”. During this month, let us pray for a greater awareness of the need for ongoing conversion and personal sanctification in our lives. On November 2, we remember and pray for all those who have died in the state of grace and friendship with God. They, “the faithful departed,” are those who await the “embrace of Heaven” through the purification of Christ’s Divine Mercy. The Church refers to this state, in regard to the “poor souls,” as Purgatory. We are called in a special way, during the month of November, to offer prayers for the Souls in Purgatory. During this time many people visit the local cemeteries to pray at the graves of their loved ones as they come to remember and honor them. Another popular tradition is to have the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered for those who have died. It is truly the most precious of all spiritual works of mercy that can be offered for the faithful departed. As we reflect upon our preparation for Heaven, let us commit ourselves, during this month, to grow in holiness and to pray for the poor souls that have gone before us, may they soon be with God in Heaven. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Saints and Mother of all the Faithful Departed, intercede for us. Eternal Rest grant unto them O Lord. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest In Peace. In the Peace of Christ, Bishop Cotta CATECHISM K-6th LIVING ROSARY

Our catechism K-6th graders will be doing a living rosary on Tuesday, November 6th and Wednesday, November 7th at 4:30PM during class time. Please come join us as we pray with our children. If weather permits, prayer will be at the soccer field. ADORATION NEEDS YOU! ADORERS NEEDED! St. Peter Julian Eymard writes: “Every time we come into the presence of the Eucharist we may say: This precious Testament cost Jesus Christ His life.” Let us honor Our Lord and Savior in the Blessed Sacrament for His sufferings and death on the cross for our sins-an act of complete annihilation and boundless love.— The following hours are available: Sunday: 8:00AM, 1:00PM, 3:00PM; Monday: 5:00PM; Tuesday: 11:00AM, 6:00PM; Thursday: 5:00PM. Please call Teresa at 599-8451.

FR. RAJU

Please note: Since Fr. Raju is not returning as planned, we will

continue to have a Communion Service on Wednesdays at

JOIN THE ADULT CHOIR

The beautiful season of Advent and Christmas is fast approaching.

Say “YES” to God by praising Him in song with the talent He has

given you by joining the choir! The Sacred Music of the Catholic

Church is one of the greatest treasures of all time. Liturgical and

Sacred Music fills your heart and soul with meaning and feeling

mere words cannot express. It enhances your prayer. St. Paul in

Collossians 3:16 writes: “Let the Word of God dwell in you

richely…, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with

gratitude in you hearts go God.” St. Augustine says—”He who

sings prayes twice.” St. Patrick’s Adult Choir meets Wednesday

6:30-8:00PM in the Music Ministry Room—You are invited! Ages

16 and up.

TIME TO HEAL

Please pray for the following people who are ill: Joni Christensen,

Joe Brum, Cindy Largent, Rusty and Lynda Silva, Willie Smith and

Gordon Brock. For more information on Communion for the

homebound, please call the Parish Office at 209-838-2133.

4 de Noviembre 2018 31º Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario

REFLEXIÓN DEL OBISPO COTTA PARA NOVIEMBRE Mi querido pueblo de Dios, A partir del primer día de noviembre, nuestra atención se centra en nuestra relación con la Iglesia Triunfante, los Santos. Cada vez que proclamamos nuestra fe en la Misa, mientras rezamos el Credo, proclamamos nuestra fe en la “Comunión de los Santos”. Las vidas de los santos son modelos de vida para nosotros. Su ejemplo de vida centrada en Cristo puede ayudarnos a santificar nuestro diario vivir aquí en la tierra. Se nos recuerda que el 1 de noviembre es un día especial en el calendario litúrgico de la Iglesia. Para todos nosotros, es un día de Precepto. Es un día en el cual debemos ir a Misa y pedir la intercesión especial de nuestros santos patrones. Este mes ofrece una gran oportunidad para conocer mejor las vidas de los santos. Leer la vida de los santos es muy buena lectura espiritual. El mes de noviembre ofrece una oportunidad para reflexionar sobre aquellos que vivieron fielmente comprometidos con Cristo y la Iglesia. A lo largo de la historia de la Iglesia, muchos de estos “Santos” frente al martirio renunciaron a sus vidas, siendo así “testigos”, de Jesús y su Evangelio. A lo largo de los siglos, la sangre de los santos mártires ha fortalecido a la Iglesia para que siga siendo el “santuario de la salvación”. Durante este mes, oremos para que nos concienticemos de la necesidad de una conversión continua y de nuestra santificación personal. El 2 de noviembre, recordamos y oramos por todos aquellos que han muerto en estado de gracia y Amistad con Dios. Ellos, “los Fieles Difuntos”, son aquellos que esperan el “abrazo del Cielo” a través de la purificación de la Divina Misericordia de Cristo. La Iglesia define este estado de la “pobre alma”, como el purgatorio. Durante el mes de noviembre, estamos llamados a ofrecer de manera especial, oraciones por las Almas del Purgatorio. Durante este tiempo, muchas personas visitan los cementerios locales para rezar en las tumbas de sus seres queridos recordándolos y honrándolos. Otra tradición popular es ofrecer el Santo Sacrificio de la Misa por los que han muerto. Verdaderamente esta es la más preciosa de todas las obras espirituales de misericordia el ofrecer la Santa Misa por los fieles difuntos. Al reflexionar sobre nuestra preparación para el Cielo, comprometámonos, durante este mes, a crecer en santidad y a orar por las pobres almas que nos han precedido, para que pronto puedan estar con Dios en el Cielo. Que la Santísima Virgen María, Reina de los Santos y Madre de todos los fieles difuntos, interceda pos nosotros. Que el Señor les conceda el descanso eterno. Que sus almas y las almas de todos los fieles difuntos por e la misericordia de Dios, descanse en paz. En la paz de Cristo, Obispo Cotta PADRE RAJU

Tenga en cuenta: Como Pd. Raju no regresá según lo planeado, continuaremos de tener un Servicio de Comunión los miércoles a las 8:00 de la mañana en inglés en la capilla de los Santos Ángeles y a las 6:30 de la noche en español en la iglesia.
