“You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind, and You will love your neighbor as yourself. Using these two fundamental precepts, Jesus establishes two essential cornerstones for believers of all times. The first is that moral and religious life cannot be reduced to an anxious and forced obedience, but must have love as its principle. The second is that love must tend togeth-er and inseparably towards God and neighbor. This is one of Jesus’ primary innovations and it helps us understand that what is not expressed in love of neighbor is not true love of God; and, likewise, what is not
drawn from one's relationship with God is not true love of neighbor. Love for God is expressed above all in prayer, particularly in ado-ration. And love for neighbor, which is also called fraternal charity, consists in closeness, listening, sharing, caring for others. The veri-fication of our journey of conversion and holiness is always in the love of our neighbor. As long as there is a brother or sister to whom we close our hearts, we will still be far from being disciples as Jesus asks of us.” — Pope Francis
In the Company of Pope Francis
FROM YOUR PASTOR
How do YOU LIVE the Greatest Commandment?
The LIFE OF JESUS defines the answer to this question. In asking Jesus to articulate the Greatest Commandment, the Pharisees are not asking Him to choose among ten… they are asking him to choose among the 613 Commandments in the Torah and pick the most important. Jesus does so with a simply complex answer...He exhorts them to LOVE GOD and to LOVE THEIR NEIGHBOR. Common to both these commandments...is LOVE. Unlike the Pharisees who basically instructed the people to do as they say and not as they do, Jesus tells us to DO AS HE DOES...and that becomes an enormous command. Why? Because in His death on the Cross, he exhibited the greatest LOVE there is -- to lay down one's life for another...for you and for me... Jesus knew well the words of Psalm 18, 'I love you, O Lord'...directing our first act of LOVE to God. Jesus knew well the words from Exodus as God spoke to the Ancient Israelites...'for I am compassionate'…directing our second act of LOVE to others. And Paul learned from Jesus as he reminds the Thessalonians that they become Holy when they become Imitators of Jesus. So what is LOVE? Saint Thomas Aquinas reminds us that LOVE IS TO WILL THE GOOD OF ANOTHER. But that is NOT YOUR GOOD for them, it is the GOOD THAT GOD HAS DESIGNED for them. Holy Scripture reminds us that LOVE is not easy… it is a CHALLENGE … it is not a sentiment or emotion… it is a DECISION. Why? Because we are called to LOVE BAD PEOPLE TOO -- criminals, enemies, critics, those who drive us crazy, and those who are mean -- because we desire that they repent and follow God's perfect plan for their life. That is TOUGH LOVE...not shown TO US...but required OF US. And that is why the PORTRAIT OF LOVE that Jesus PAINTS FROM THE CROSS becomes the example for us to follow...the ULTIMATE PAIN for the ULTIMATE GOOD. The LOVE that Jesus exudes from the Cross reminds us that WE ARE LOVABLE...that includes the stranger and the friend. The LOVE that Jesus exudes from the Cross exhorts us TO LOVE AS HE LOVES… that includes those who harm us as well as those who revere us. The LOVE that Jesus exudes from the Cross reminds us that LOVE INCLUDES SUFFERING...that includes a personal cost to us as we replace our pride with humility in the service of others. So, how do WE LOVE as JESUS LOVES in Service to God and in Service to Others? WE LOVE BY DEED, BY WORD, AND BY PRAYER. >We stand up for Moral Principles in the Public Square - - at work, at school, in politics, or at home. > We share our Religious Values with Others -- not to shame them but to plant seeds of faith. > We respond to the Moral Doubts found in the Moral and Ethical Decisions of Daily Life -- by sharing the Christian point of view as advice and coun-sel...not admonition. > We minister to those who are in Sorrow or Distress - - by being with and listening to the person in need. > We bear Wrongs to Us and Others -- by seeking basic human rights and dignity and justice while and praying for our transgressors. > We forgive Mental and Spiritual Offenses - - by allowing forgiveness to replace anger. > We pray for the Living and the Dead -- by remembering them while fostering their and our healing. > We care for Those in Need - - by using our time, talent and treasure as a doer of mercy. > We link the Material with the Spiritual - - by giving others the material goods they need for daily survival along with a prayer for their survival. > We assist those who must Leave Their Home or Find a Home -- by providing shelter, companionship, and help. > We seek those who are alone or isolated or imprisoned - - by visits, contacts, or assistance. > We visit those who are Confined by Choice or Necessity or Illness -- by giving our most precious commodity...which is our time. > We care for those who Mourn - - by our expression of sympathy, our presence, or the provision of necessities as they grieve. So, what is the bottom line?...It is SIMPLY COMPLEX... We love God by being Christ to others...through HIS LOVE... +May God Bless You and Keep You+

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Pray for Us
Solemnity of All Saints
Growing up in Saint Vincent de Paul parish in the fifties and sixties, I recall exactly one lesson about him, and that was a shaky black and white movie that appeared to have been made in the same century he lived (16th).
But many years later, well after the end of Second Vatican Council, I dropped by the school and was immediately drawn to the beauti-ful painting in the entranceway. “That’s stunning,” I said. “Who is it?” The receptionist laughed. “Kathy, that’s St. Vincent de Paul!”
We’ve come a long way since the Council’s call to learn more about the saints whose names grace our schools, our streets, our cities. These days we can read about the Saint of the Day in multiple devotionals, online and in print. Have you learned about your patron saint, or your Confirmation saint? They travel with us throughout our lives, weaving blessings for us in ways we won’t see until heav-en. It’s good to get to know them.
Just yesterday my friend Camille wrote to wish me a Happy Feast of St. Luke. St. Paul describes him as a physician (Colossians 4:14), so he is the patron of all who need healing. She also noted that the following day, October 19 th, is the Feast of the North Ameri-can Martyrs, another recent obsession of mine. In fact, as I was writing this another friend called to remind me of their Feast today.
We have friends in high places; wonderful, curmudgeonly, gracious, eccentric, passionate friends whose lives in some way intersected with one of the sacred heart of Jesus. Sick? Sad? Anxious? Grateful? Converted of heart? The Church has a Saint for that.
In what ways do you feel a strong connection with your favorite saint?

Vatican News: DECREE EXTENDS INDULGENCE FOR THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED THROUGHOUT NOVEMBER
Plenary Indulgence during month of November Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the need to avoid large groups from forming where prohibited, the Plenary Indulgence applicable to the deceased by those who visit a ceme-tery has been extended beyond the normal dates of 1 to 8 November. This year, the in-dulgence can be obtained by anyone who visits a cemetery, even if only mentally, on any day in November, and devoutly prays for the faithful departed.
Plenary Indulgence for Feast of All Souls’ Day
Regarding the Plenary Indulgence attached to All Souls’ Day, 2 November, this year, it can be obtained not only on the preceding or succeeding Sunday, or on the actual Feast day, but on any other day of the month chosen by each member of the faithful. In this case, the indulgence is obtained by “devoutly visiting a church or an oratory”, along with
the recitation of the Our Father and the Creed, and the other requirements as-sociated with a Plenary Indulgence.
The homebound
For anyone who cannot leave their home for various reasons, including anti-Covid restrictions, they too can obtain the Plenary Indulgence by “uniting themselves spiritually to other members of the faithful”. In this case, the condi-tion of being “completely detached from sin” and the intention of completing the other requirements for obtaining a Ple-nary Indulgence remain. These condi-tions are Sacramental Confession, re-ception of Holy Communion and a pray-er for the Holy Father’s intentions. The Decree suggests that such prayer take place before an “image of Jesus or the Blessed Virgin Mary”. Among the various prayers that are recommended are “prayers for the deceased, Morning or Evening Prayer from the Office of the Dead, the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, meditating on various Gospel passages proposed for the liturgy of the Dead, or completing a work of mercy by offering to God the suffering and dis-comforts of one’s own life”.

Saint of the Week
Saints Martin de Porres
“Father unknown” is the cold legal phrase sometimes used on baptismal records. “Half-breed” or “war souvenir” is the cruel name inflicted by those of “pure” blood. Like many others, Martin might have grown to be a bitter man, but he did not. It was said that even as a child he gave his heart and his goods to the poor and despised.
He was the son of a freed woman of Panama, probably black but also possibly of indigenous stock, and a Spanish grandee of Lima, Peru. His parents never married each other. Martin in-herited the features and dark complexion of his mother. That irked his father, who finally acknowledged his son after eight years. After the birth of a sister, the father abandoned the family. Martin was reared in poverty, locked into a low level of Lima’s society.
When he was 12, his mother apprenticed him to a barber-surgeon. Martin learned how to cut hair and also how to draw blood—a standard medical treatment then—care for wounds, and prepare and admin-ister medicines.
After a few years in this medical apostolate, Martin applied to the Do-minicans to be a “lay helper,” not feeling himself worthy to be a reli-gious brother. After nine years, the example of his prayer and penance, charity and humility, led the community to request him to make full religious profession. Many of his nights were spent in prayer and peni-tential practices; his days were filled with nursing the sick and caring for the poor. It was particularly impressive that he treated all people regardless of their color, race, or status. He was instrumental in found-ing an orphanage, took care of slaves brought from Africa, and managed the daily alms of the priory with practicality, as well as generosity. He became the procurator for both priory and city, whether it was a matter of “blankets, shirts, candles, candy, miracles or prayers!” When his priory was in debt, he said, “I am only a poor mulatto. Sell me. I am the property of the order. Sell me.”
Side by side with his daily work in the kitchen, laundry, and infirmary, Martin’s life reflected God’s extraordinary gifts: ecstasies that lifted him into the air, light filling the room where he prayed, bi-location, miraculous knowledge, instantaneous cures, and a remarkable rapport with animals. His charity extended to beasts of the field and even to the vermin of the kitchen. He would excuse the raids of mice and rats on the grounds that they were underfed; he kept stray cats and dogs at his sis-ter’s house.
Martin became a formidable fundraiser, obtaining thousands of dollars for dowries for poor girls so that they could marry or enter a convent.
Many of his fellow religious took Martin as their spiritual director, but he continued to call himself a “poor slave.” He was a good friend of another Dominican saint of Peru, Rose of Lima.
QUO VADIS? “Lord, Where you are you going?”
These are the words that Peter spoke to Jesus when Our Lord appeared to him on the Appian Way as Pe-
ter fled persecution in Rome.
Jesus answered, "I am going to Rome to be crucified again"
As we each continue on our particular faith walk, whether we are cradle Catholics or converts, prayer and sacraments are imperative to the vitality of our Church. We come together to persevere in communi-ty and education, prompted and sustained by grace.
Please join us on Wednesday evenings during our RCIA formation classes to learn about the most im-portant pillars of our faith and to give witness to those becoming Catholic.
