“Resentment and gratitude cannot coexist, since resentment blocks
T his day rarely falls on a Sunday, but when it does, it takes precedence over the regular Sunday prayers and readings. As the title says, it commemorates all the “faithful departed.” This used to be a day of frenzied prayers—people in and out of church all day, praying for their departed loved ones—hoping to “get them out of Purgatory.” Purgatory is an interesting teaching: it is not spoken of directly in scripture—only obliquely. A verse in Maccabees says, “it is a good and noble thing to pray for the dead.” The logical question is “why?” But, it isn’t answered there. Then, there is a reference (depending on one’s translation of the Bible) to a “sin that cannot be forgiven in this world or the next.” The logical remark would be: “In the NEXT? Sins can be forgiven in the next?” And it was on meditating on verses like these, and, more profoundly, on God’s eternal mercy that the teaching about Purgatory emerged. We sensed the wonderful Mercy of God—a mercy that would love us beyond the end. We saw that the crucifixion teaches us that “God would rather die than give us up,” and we put faith in His ability to heal us in eternity. It was a small biblical foundation, but a strong one. Now, when I was a kid, religion teachers taught us that Purgatory was sort of like the “cooler end of hell,” and hence, the frenzied prayers of those still living for those who had gone before. But, frankly, the Church has never defined what Purgatory is—is it an “instant,” “the twinkling of an eye?” Or, is it a longer process of the gradual healing the soul of the wounds that it died with? —thawing the frozen places in our hearts into a greater love and cooling the heated, raging parts of us into a larger calm. Who knows? The Church never said “where” it was, “how” it was, only that we knew God would not give up on us, and so, after death we felt sure that healing might come—however it comes. This simple faith is reflected in the readings of the day: God’s faithfulness— nothing given to Christ will be lost—and the healing power— namely, that those broken martyrs in the first reading will one day shine like sparks! Today we take great comfort in our faith in God’s faithfulness to us. -Fr.

El día de hoy se celebraba mucho, mucha gente venía a la iglesia todo el día, rezando por su seres queridos– esperando ayudarles a salir del Purgatorio. Debido a que la escritura habla del purgatorio indirectamente, su enseñanza es interesante. Un verso de Macabeos dice, “es bueno y noble rezar por los muertos.” La pregunta es, “¿Por qué? Pero no la contesta. Y después hay una referencia al “pecado que no es perdonado ni en este ni el próximo mundo.” Lo lógico es preguntar, “¿se perdonan los pecados en la PRÓXIMA?” Y la enseñanza del purgatorio es fruto de este tipo de reflexiones y meditaciones. Sentimos la misericordia de Dios– una misericordia que no amará hasta al final. La crucifixión nos dice que “Dios prefirió morir que abandonarnos,” y nuestra fe está puesta en Él quien nos sanará por toda eternidad. Era una fundación bíblica pequeña, pero fuerte. Cuando era niño los maestros de religión nos decían que el purgatorio es el lugar “más frío del infierno;” y por eso, mucha gente oraba por quienes se nos habían adelantado. Pero, honestamente, la iglesia no ha dado una definición del purgatorio, ¿será un instante, el cerrar y el abrir los ojos? O, ¿será un proceso lento sobre la sanación del alma de la heridas con las que murió? Descongelando nuestros corazones helados hacia un amor mayor y enfriando el odio hacia la tranquilidad. ¿Quién sabe? La Iglesia nunca dijo “dónde” estaba, “cómo” estaba, sólo que Dios no nos abandona y que después de la muerte hay un proceso de sanación. La fe sencilla está en las lecturas del día: la fidelidad de Dios– nada dado a Cristo será perdido– y el poder sanador- ¡Un día los mártires de la primera lectura serán iluminados! El día de hoy tomamos un gran consuelo en nuestra fe en la fidelidad de Dios hacia nosotros. - Padre Bill Axe “Resentment and gratitude cannot coexist, since resentment blocks the perception and experience of life as a gift. My resentment tells me that I don't receive what I deserve. It always manifests itself in envy.” - Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming To build and foster a Christian Community that offers the opportunity to experience God God’s ’s unconditional love and acceptance to all who come into contact with it. D Construyendo y alimentando una comunidad cristiana que ofrezca la oportunidad de experimentar el amor incondicional de Dios y la aceptación a todos con quienes nos encontremos. L eath seems to be a natural part of life. Every living organism that we know of undergoes death. It seems to be built into biological life. At the same time, we human beings rebel against death as something profoundly unnatural; we seem to have a deep-seated sense that death violates a profound truth about the meaning of our existence. And yet our faith says that death is a necessary part of the journey towards eternal life. Perhaps the key to reconciling these conflicting feelings is the truth that our God is stronger than death. It is our faith that helps us face death and know that there is something more, a place where we will all be united within the embrace of God's love. Let us remember those who have gone before us and whom we loved, knowing that we will see them again in glory. Have a blessed week, Sr. Karen Collier a muerte es una parte natural de la vida. A cada organismo vivo le espera la muerte. Es parte de nuestro ser biológico. Al mismo tiempo, como humanos luchamos contra la muerte como algo innatural; parece que tenemos un sentido profundo que la muerte está en contra del significado de nuestra existencia. Sin embargo, la fe dice que la muerte es parte de nuestro caminar para llegar a la vida eterna. A lo mejor la clave de reconciliarnos es de tener fe que Dios es mucho más fuerte que la muerte. Es nuestra fe que nos ayuda enfrentarnos con la muerte y de saber que hay algo más, un lugar donde estaremos unidos en los brazos del amor de Dios. Recordemos a nuestros seres queridos quienes se nos han adelantado sabiendo que los encontraremos otra vez en la gloria.

MISS SOPHIA’S BLUES CAFÉ GRAND OPENING A SWINGING SUCCESS On Saturday, October 25, 2014 Miss Sophia’s Blues Café opened its doors to a group of guests anxious to have dinner, dance and an all around good time. By all accounts, they were not disappointed. Sunday and The Serious Band set the tone with some of the best Blues and Contemporary Music ever heard. Ujahzee Dance Ensemble mesmerized all with their signature piece “Four Women” to the music of Nina Simone. Miss Sophia’s niece, Natali Micciche had the crowd howling and clapping for her ‘semi-hot” solo dance number to Cristina Aguilera’s “Candy Man”. Red Beans & Rice, Chicken, Sausage, Dessert and beverages satisfied all. Door prizes and a raffle for a 32” Smart TV, won by Robert Bennett, was a lot of fun. But for Miss Sophia, the best thing of the night was seeing the fun that was had by all. People of all ages, races, sizes and conditions were laughing, talking, dancing and just having a great ole time! And let us not forget, this was all done to aid education and those who pursue it. None of this could have happened without the dedicated, never ceasing Project Lead help and dedication of Marcia Lewis. Kudos to Chef Eddie Hilley. Thanks to Isabel Musquiz who helped create atmosphere with vintage prop contributions. Thank you Alicia Vargas, Principal at Stella Charter for sharing the space and helping with the hall. Much appreciation to Cristina, Sylvia, Carole, Rachel, Charlotte, Cheryl and Stephen for keeping things moving through the evening. Last, but not least, thank you Sister Karen and St. Agatha Parish Family and Office Staff for everything and all your support. Most importantly, Thank You Holy Spirit for Blessing this project and Miss Sophia’s Harvest Moon Blues Café. Finally, in answer to the many inquiries Miss Sophia has received, “Yes, we will do this again. Stay Tuned and keep those dancing shoes ready and all polished up. ¡Alquile nuestro Salón Parroquial!
