All Saint’s Day

My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, yes, you, the Baptized!

The cover photo shows our second grade "Saints" - children who for All Saints Day chose and learned about a saint, dressed as that Saint and then shared about the Saint in our "Saints Museum" in Suddes Hall. We're all called to to be saints - in other words called to holiness, called to be Christlike. This requires our sacramental transformation, a transformation that begins in baptism. What follows are some excerpts from the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) about baptism, what it is and its importance. God bless you! - Fr Jeremy OMV

"1213 Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua),4 and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word."5

1214 This sacrament is called Baptism, after the central rite by which it is carried out: to baptize (Greek baptizein) means to "plunge" or "immerse"; the "plunge" into the water symbolizes the catechumen's burial into Christ's death, from which he rises up by resurrection with him, as "a new creature."6

1216 "This bath is called enlightenment, because those who receive this [catechetical] instruction are enlightened in their understanding . . . ."8 Having received in Baptism the Word, "the true light that enlightens every man," the person baptized has been "enlightened," he becomes a "son of light," indeed, he becomes "light" himself:9

Baptism is God's most beautiful and magnificent gift. . . .We call it gift, grace, anointing, enlightenment, garment of immortality, bath of rebirth, seal, and most precious gift. It is called gift because it is conferred on those who bring nothing of their own; grace since it is given even to the guilty; Baptism because sin is buried in the water; anointing for it is priestly and royal as are those who are anointed; enlightenment because it radiates light; clothing since it veils our shame; bath because it washes; and seal as it is our guard and the sign of God's Lordship.10

1226 From the very day of Pentecost the Church has celebrated and administered holy Baptism. Indeed St. Peter declares to the crowd astounded by his preaching: "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."26 The apostles and their collaborators offer Baptism to anyone who believed in Jesus: Jews, the God-fearing, pagans.27 Always, Baptism is seen as connected with faith: "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household," St. Paul declared to his jailer in Philippi. And the narrative continues, the jailer "was baptized at once, with all his family."28

1227 According to the Apostle Paul, the believer enters through Baptism into communion with Christ's death, is buried with him, and rises with him:

Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.29

The baptized have "put on Christ."30 Through the Holy Spirit, Baptism is a bath that purifies, justifies, and sanctifies.31

1250 Born with a fallen human nature and tainted by original sin, children also have need of the new birth in Baptism to be freed from the power of darkness and brought into the realm of the freedom of the children of God, to which all men are called.50 The sheer gratuitousness of the grace of salvation is particularly manifest in infant Baptism. The Church and the parents would deny a child the priceless grace of becoming a child of God were they not to confer Baptism shortly after birth.51

1252 The practice of infant Baptism is an immemorial tradition of the Church. There is explicit testimony to this practice from the second century on, and it is quite possible that, from the beginning of the apostolic preaching, when whole "households" received baptism, infants may also have been baptized.53

1255 For the grace of Baptism to unfold, the parents' help is important. So too is the role of the godfather and godmother, who must be firm believers, able and ready to help the newly baptized - child or adult on the road of Christian life.55 Their task is a truly ecclesial function (officium).56 The whole ecclesial community bears some responsibility for the development and safeguarding of the grace given at Baptism."

THIRTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIMEFocus: The God we worship is the God of the living.

In putting Jesus on the spot, the Sadducees were unexpectedly rewarded with a firm declaration of the truth of the Resurrection. By proclaiming God to be the God of the living, Jesus strengthens the resolve of all who place their trust in him and who hope in a share in the eternal life of God.

Our first reading from Maccabees recalls the bravery of seven brothers and their mother who preferred death to denying their hope in the God of Israel. Saint Paul reminds the Thessalonians of God’s fidelity and encourages them to find hope and strength in the Lord. In the Gospel, the Sadducees attempt to put Jesus on the spot on the topic of resurrection.

PART ONE - THE PROFESSION OF FAITHSECTION ONE - "I BELIEVE" - "WE BELIEVE"God Comes To Meet Man / Sacred Scripture –

Sacred Scripture in the Life of the Church141. "The Church has always venerated the divine Scriptures as she venerated the Body of the Lord" (DV 21): both nourish and govern the whole Christian life. "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path"

Your prayers are requested for the souls of

Bill J. Webber and

Becky Droste“May their souls and the souls of all the faithful

departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.”

RECENT BAPTISMSKynlee Elizabeth Jirdon

2020 MASS BOOKThe 2020 Mass Book is now open for your intentions! Please stop by the Parish Office M-F from 8:00am-3:00pm to schedule your Mass intentions. Thank you!

PRAYER CORNERA Prayer for Veterans

God of mercy we ask for blessings on all those who have served our country in the armed

forces. We ask for healing for the veterans who have been wounded, in body and soul, in conflicts around the globe.

We pray especially for the men and women who come home from battle with injured bodies and traumatized

spirits. Bring solace to them, O Lord. May we pray for them when they cannot pray.

Have mercy on all our veterans. Bring peace to their hearts and peace to the regions they fought in. Bless all the

soldiers who served in non-combative posts. May their calling to serve continue in their lives in many positive ways.

Give us your vision, Lord, to see a world that, growing weary with fighting, moves to affirming human life and

dignity and so moves beyond war. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE KIOSK CORNER

A Catholic Millennial's Guide to AdultingThe Millennial Generation has grown to adulthood. Having experienced many of the conveniences and pitfalls of new technologies, social media, student loan debt, and adult life, millennials have also developed a genuine desire to do something great with their lives, but often don't know how to get there. As fellow millennial Paul J. Kim shares with great humor and insight, tackling life's big challenges and desires for vocation, career, and greatness can give powerful witness to God and the gift of life.

“Paul’s talk was spot on—gave me both the encouragement and the challenge I need, as an adult Catholic millennial with big dreams. “The grass is greener where you water it”—great insight.”

Please join us on Saturday, November 16 for our next

meeting of That Man Is You. We will meet in the Church for Mass at 6:30am followed by

breakfast and discussion in the MaryAnn Room.

We hope to see you there!
