MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR
Remembrance Day is celebrated in Canada on
November 11th. The Canadian Bishops offer us
three aspects to this special day to ponder and to act
on:
First, we pause and pray to remember those who
died in war and to pray for the victims of aggression
and inhumanity around the world.
Second, Remembrance Day is a special day to pray
for peace. We should consider what we are doing as
individuals, as families, as faith communities and as
a nation to bring God’s peace to the world. The
peace Jesus promises comes from an inner
conversion of the human heart rather than from an
imposed external order (like the temporary forced
order brought by the Roman emperors and modern
equivalents such as dictators and tyrants) .
Third, we can make this a special time to rededicate
ourselves by prayer and action to the ideals Jesus
gave us in the Beatitudes.
Ask God to show you what He wants you to do to
promote peace and justice with others. It could be
some special prayers, fasting or generous action of
service.
- Fr. Galvon
XXXII SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
ARCHDIOCESAN PRAYER FOR THE JUBILEE YEAR
OF MERCY
All merciful Father, through the reconciling
love of your Son and the healing power of the
Holy Spirit, fill us with the richness of your mercy. Grant that each family, the domestic church of
the home, be a privileged place of comfort and
healing where your mercy is handed down from
generation to generation.
May husbands and wives convey forgiveness and
love, as sacramental witnesses to the
extravagant mercy of the Cross. May parents embrace their role as
primary teachers in the school of mercy, and may brothers and sisters bear each other’s burdens and weaknesses with gentle
compassion.
May each parish, the family of families, be a place where works of
mercy are lived, compassion is freely
given, and welcoming arms await all seeking
forgiveness on their journey of reconciliation.
Through the intercession
of Mary, Mother of Mercy Incarnate, grant that we
may be missionary disciples, who bear to the whole human family the
transforming light of your Gospel of Mercy. Amen.

SERÁN COMO LOS ÁNGELES
Parece ser una respuesta insuficiente, ya que es muy poco lo que sabemos sobre la naturaleza de los ángeles y sobre su manera de vivir felices ante Dios. Pero de una cosa no se puede dudar: el hecho de su felicidad. El “¿Cómo?” escapa y excede a nuestras experiencias y conceptos. De la revelación de Jesús se deduce con certeza que poseeremos allí vida en plenitud que no poseemos aquí. Los que tienen mayor curiosidad por saber, se sentirán tal vez defraudados. Pero El Señor no responde a los curiosos sino a los sinceros.
FIESTA DE TODOS LOS SANTOS
En el mes de Noviembre la Iglesia hace especial hincapié a aquellas personas que han pasado de esta vida a la próxima. El 1ro. de Nov. leemos en la primera lectura que ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil se salvarán. En la Biblia los números contienen mensajes. En este caso este número significa plenitud y se obtiene de multiplicar 12 tribus por 12 apóstoles más tres ceros. Como leemos en el siguiente versículo que nos indica que eran individuos de todas las naciones y razas, de todos los pueblos y lenguas y que: ``La salvación viene de nuestro Dios, que está sentado en el trono, y del Cordero.”
ESPERO VER LA BONDAD DEL SEÑOR
La pérdida de nuestros seres queridos significa para nosotros mucho dolor y lágrimas. Sin embargo nuestra fe nos asegura que ellos están bien y que la muerte es una separación temporal. Así lo expresa claramente el libro de la Sabiduría: “Las almas de los justos están en las manos de Dios y ningún tormento podrá alcanzarlos”(3,1). ¿Cuál es pues nuestra labor mientras estamos en esta vida? ¡El procurar ser justos !
