No matter what your story of life is (background, age, sexuality, race), no matter what your own self-image or selfesteem is … just remember that you are invited…, accepted…, welcomed…, respected…, and loved… here at Holy

Dear parishioners,
Like last year, if you return the All Souls
Day envelope (please don’t do it at the last
minute…!!! ) we will put the name/s in the
Book of Memory so we will divide the
names for the whole month of November
and in this way we will pray for all of them
by name/s at all Masses during the whole
month!.
Please put those envelopes with the regular
collection or give them to Judy at the office.
There will be a binder at the side entrance
of the church for your convenience to check
the day (and at which Mass on that day/s
we have more than one Mass) we will pray
for our loved ones.
<God Is Love><
Thank you for your understanding,

† † † VATICAN CORNER † † †
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis during his Angelus address on Sunday said, “the goodness of God,
“knows no boundaries and does not discriminate against anyone, everyone is given the opportunity
to respond to his invitation, to his call”. From the window of his studio overlooking Saint Peter’s
Square during his Angelus address, Pope Francis reflected on Sunday’s Gospel from Matthew, in
which the King issues an invitation to a wedding feast which is rejected by some and accepted by
others.
The Pope explained that the invitation had three characteristics, those of gratuity, breadth and universality.
He went on to say that “none of the chosen ones accept to take part in the feast, they say they
have other plans, and indeed some show indifference, alienation, even annoyance.” The Pope
then recounted how despite this rejection, the King is not discouraged, “he does not cancel the party, but extends his invitation beyond all reasonable limits and sends his servants into the streets
and to the crossroads to gather all those they find.” Pope Francis then added “ the Gospel, rejected by some, is unexpectedly welcome in so many other hearts".
The goodness of God, underlined the Pope “knows no boundaries and does not discriminate
against anyone, everyone is given the opportunity to respond to his invitation, to his call” He continued by saying that “we need to open ourselves to the peripheries, recognizing that even those
who are on the margins, even those who are despised and rejected by society, are the object
God's generosity.
Following the recitation of the Marian prayer Pope Francis turned he attention to the recent floods
in Genoa saying, his prayers were with “the victims and for those who have suffered serious damage.” He also recalled the beatification of Fr. Francesco Zirano, who died for refusing to renounce
his faith adding that his courageous fidelity to Christ was an act of great eloquence, especially in
the context of ruthless persecution against Christians".
Our Holy Father On Tweeter this last week:
Oct 11 2014 - The spiritual power of the Sacraments is boundless. With grace, we can overcome every
obstacle.
Oct 10 2014 - Dear young people, Christ is coun ng on you to be his friends and witnesses to his infinite
love.
Oct 7 2014- Let us ask the Lord for the grace not to speak badly of others, not to cri cize, not to gossip, but
rather to love everyone.
Oct 6 2014 - Come, Holy Spirit. Bestow upon us your gi s during the Synod.
