THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME | OCTOBER 27, 2013 GOD’S LOGIC IS NOT OURS Nobody will ever mistake the Bible for a logic textbook. We need to remember this when we approach today’s readings. How can a God who knows no favorites have a chosen people, or give us the disciplines of fasting and almsgiving and then instruct us not to talk about them? God, in love and tenderness, knows how quickly we can get “into a rut.” The Spirit inspires passages like the instruction from Sirach and the parable in Luke to help drag us out of the rut of thinking that God’s ways are our ways. Sirach poetically uses contrast to answer the question, “Whose prayer will reach the lofty clouds of heaven?” The answer? Those who are lowly on earth. Jesus amplifies this in his parable of the Pharisee and the publican. It is Spirit-inspired illogic that communicates today’s message: God hears the voices of those who are ignored by the rest of the world. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

For more information, please call: Sally Greig, 624-1271, ext 216 or sally@carmelmission.org Litany of the Saints Paul Turner In the litany of the saints the Catholic Church calls upon dozens of saints by name to join in a solemn petition to God. The litany is used on occasions of special importance, such as the baptism of adults; the dedication of a church; the ordination of a deacon, priest or bishop; and the prayers for the dying. The litany is always prayed at the Easter Vigil, even if there are no baptisms. An abbreviated litany precedes the baptism of infants. The litany took shape throughout the Middle Ages. It probably began as a processional song in which the people repeated a simple refrain to a series of invocations intoned by cantors. The litany was standardized in 1570 and underwent a few minor revisions after the Second Vatican Council. It is usually sung in the traditional way – one or two cantors alternating with everyone else. The litany begins by calling on Christ to have mercy. Then the saints are asked to pray on behalf of the church on earth. The saints are arranged in chronological groups. First, the saints who appear in the bible are named (for example, Mary, the angels, and some apostles), and then some early martyrs, including Ignatius of Antioch, Lawrence the deacon, and Agnes. Then appear the great doctors of the church, such as Gregory and Augustine. Those associated with monasticism or the founding of religious orders come next – saints such as Martin, Benedict and Francis. The list concludes with more recent saints, such as Catherine of Siena and Teresa of Lisieux. The litany then asks God to save people from various evils by the life of Christ. It concludes with intentions relating to the event at hand. Copyright © 2006 Resource Publications, Inc., 160 E.

Page 8 CARMEL MISSION BASILICA (1771) Year of Faith: October 2013 To Know and Understand, to See and Act Meditation “Confessing with the lips” (Romans 10:9) implies that personal faith must express itself in public witness. A Christian may never think of belief as a private act. Faith is choosing to “stand with the Lord,” and this demands that we accept the social responsibilities that flow from what we believe (see Benedict XVI, Door of Faith, 10). October opens with “Respect Life Sunday,” and, in this Year of Faith, Jesus’ disciples pray in our name: “Increase our faith.” How comforting is Jesus’ response. Faith cannot be measured by quantity but by quality—faith’s willingness to trust, risk, dare—and when we see a need, to act on it. Jesus saw ten lepers and healed them; the Samaritan saw that he was healed and gave thanks, faith transforming his healing into salvation. If God sometimes seems slow to act, like the judge in Jesus’ story, could God be inviting us, who experience Jesus’ self-sacrificing love in the Eucharist, to make God’s work of love and justice our own? October’s final Sunday prepares us for the Year of Faith’s final month with Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and tax-collector. Though everyone presumed the Pharisee to be faith personified, he was not praying to God at all, just talking to himself. He replaced the praise of God with a litany of self-congratulation, and intercession with judging his neighbor. As the Year of Faith draws to a close, Jesus asks each of us, which of these two are you? Mission Translate my personal faith into public witness; seek opportunities to act on my faith; refrain from judging others, praying instead, “O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. October 27, 2013 First Friday Day of Prayer at St. Francis Retreat, San Juan Bautstia. November 1st For All the Saints with Brother Michael Minton, OFM.

The liturgical readings of this final month in the Church year are keyed to the end of time and the fulfillment of Jesus’ saving acts. Nowhere is this more fully celebrated than in Mexico, where November 2 is the “Day of the Dead.” Missionaries moved an ancient Aztec festival from midsummer to November, linking the festival to Christian themes. Today, it is a time for remembering the dead and celebrating the continuity of life, principally by festive picnics in cemeteries. There are special foods and games, and people socialize with other families and tell favorite stories about their dear ones. The sweetness of life is honored by sugary desserts and treats. Flowers, music, lights, and feasting assure that the day is not at all morbid. Traditionally, the day begins with Mass, a procession to the cemetery, and a morning feast. Most families have a special dinner with the pan de muerto, or “bread of the dead.” A toy skeleton is baked into the loaf, and the one who bites into it is considered lucky indeed. The dead are not feared, but deeply loved, and this joyful family feast points both to age-old customs and Resurrection faith. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
