NOVEMBER 1, 2015 SOLEMNITY OF ALL SAINTS
DEAR PARISHIONERS and VISITORS:
In our Catholic culture the entire month of November is dedicated
to praying for the dead, especially people we have known and
loved. The Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Vancouver
has recently made available a little prayer booklet. It contains
prayers and resources to help us commend to the Lord’ s mercy
deceased people we have journeyed with in faith, hope, and love.
We will endeavour to obtain some of these booklets to offer free
of charge to parishioners.
This booklet describes our motivation for praying for the dead: “.
. . a season (of prayer) for holy souls reveals our reflection of our
own mortality, celebrating and mourning those who have gone
before us, and gently gathering all of the past into God’s loving
embrace.” The booklet continues:” praying for the faithful
departed pleases God, who makes use of our prayers to help
purify the souls in purgatory that He loves.”
There are several ways to pray for the dead. You can arrange to
have Masses offered for your departed loved ones. Say a rosary
for those who have died. Devoutly visit a cemetery and pray for
the dead during November 1-8 to obtain an indulgence (must
include during that time receiving confession, Holy Communion
and a prayer for the Pope’s intentions). Pray the divine mercy
chaplet. Offer devotional prayers with an act of self denial to
deepen them. All these ways and others help the Lord to bless
you and to complete and perfect the purification of the souls of
the deceased. Fr. Galvon

Prayer for the Week
O Almighty God, Who by the love which You have
for men, have willed to take our humanity, to live a
life of hard work, to suffer a most cruel Passion, and
finally to die on the Cross, I beseech You, by the
infinite merits purchased for us with Your precious
Blood, look mercifully on the suffering which is
endured by the holy souls in purgatory.
Accept, O merciful God, the prayers which I offer
for them, and call them to the glory of heaven. I
recommend to You the souls of my relatives, friends
and benefactors, and in a special manner of those to
whom I may have been an occasion of sin by my bad
example.
Most Holy Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Comforter of
the Afflicted, intercede for those souls, that, by your
powerful intercession, they may be admitted to enjoy
that kingdom which is prepared for them. Amen.

¡ Dichosos !
Las bienaventuranzas son siempre admiradas y
paradójicas. Constituyen la quinta esencia del Evangelio:
ellas son la verdadera Buena Nueva. Causan expectación
en los ricos, en los apegados al dinero, al poder y al
prestigio. En cambio, en los pobres de corazón humilde,
despiertan admiración y alegría. Según la festividad de
este día, para ser santo hay que ser bienaventurado, de
acuerdo con la proclamación de las palabras de Jesús.
La Palabra en tu vida
Probablemente la festividad de " Todos los Santo " no la
hemos valorado como debe ser. Debemos recordar que
en la festividad de Todos Santos, también los Fieles
Difuntos participan. Señor Jesús, haz que seamos
imitadores de tu santidad.

STEWARDSHIP IN OUR PARISH
Stewardship Profile of the Week
EDNAHas been coming to the cathedral for9 years.
Coordinates the Comunidad de Baseand the Genesis Bible study group forthe Hispanic community and serveson the Stewardship Committee.
Motto: “May Jesus reign in our hearts......forever!
Thanks, Edna, for your leadership, wisdom and kindness.
STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION The word “Beatitude” refers to a state of deep happiness or joy. Butthese sayings are paradoxes. They turn our normal expectationsupside down. Jesus is bringing us a new law, new expectations onhow to live. He is bringing forth the Kingdom of God. ”The Beatitudesand the rest of the Sermon on the Mount prescribe the lifestyle of aChristian disciple.” Each of these “blesseds” is a statement about animportant aspect in how we exercise stewardship of our lives. Eachof them offers us an ideal of how to live and how we find God livingwithin us. Learn the Beatitudes, memorize them, make them part ofyour daily prayer life, and ask the Lord for the wisdom and strengthto follow this stewardship way of life, a path that follows in thefootsteps of Jesus. www.catholicstewardship.org
