A Reflection by Pope Francis
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The first two days of November are for all of us an intense moment of faith, prayer
and reflection on the “last things” of life. In fact, in celebrating all the saints and commemorating all the faithful departed, in the Liturgy the pilgrim Church on earth lives
and expresses the spiritual bond which unites her to the Church in heaven. Today we
praise God for the countless host of holy men and women of all ages: simple men and
women, who sometimes were the “last” for the world, but “first” for God. At the
same time we already remember our departed loved ones by visiting cemeteries: It is a
source of great consolation to think that they are in the company of the Virgin Mary,
the apostles, the martyrs and all the saints of Heaven!
Today’s Solemnity thus helps us to consider a fundamental truth of the Christian faith
that we profess in the Creed: the communion of saints. It is the communion that
comes from faith and unites all those who belong to Christ by Baptism. It is a spiritual
union that is not broken by death, but continues in the next life. In fact there is an unbreakable bond between us living in this world and those who have crossed the threshold of death. We here on earth, along with those who have entered into eternity, form
one great family.
This beautiful communion between heaven
and earth takes place in the highest and most
intense way in the Liturgy, and especially in
the celebration of the Eucharist, which expresses and fulfills the deepest union between the members of the Church. In the
Eucharist, we encounter the living Jesus and
His strength, and through Him we enter into
communion with our brothers and sisters in
the faith, those who live with us here on earth and those who have gone before us into
the next life, life without end. This reality of communion fills us with joy: it is nice to
have so many brothers and sisters in the faith who walk alongside us, supporting us
with their help and together we travel the same road toward heaven. And it is comforting to know that we have other brothers and sisters who have already reached heaven
ahead of us and who pray for us, so that together in eternity we can contemplate the
glorious and merciful face of the Father.
In the great assembly of the saints, God wanted to reserve the first place for the Mother of Jesus. Mary is at the center of the communion of saints, as a unique custodian of
the bond between the universal Church and Christ. For those who want to follow Jesus on the path of the Gospel, she is a safe guide because she is the first disciple, an
attentive and caring Mother, to whom we can entrust every desire and difficulty.
Let us pray together the Queen of All Saints, that she may help us to respond with
generosity and faithfulness to God, who calls us to be holy as He is holy (cf. Lev 19.2;
Mt 5:48).

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (MATTHEW 5:3)
“Poor in spirit” is confusing for many of us. It simply means to place your trust in God, putting His will
first and being strong in faith. As we celebrate the
lives of the saints on All Saints Day, remember, we,
too are called to be saints. Dialing down our own
pride and ego and turning up the humility will help
us on our path to sainthood.
During the first nine months of
2015, thanks to your generosity, we
have been able to assist 615 families!
You have provided $90K for housing,
$63K for utilities, $16K for food, and
$1K for other expenses. Our Friends in Need thank
you! God bless you for your generosity!

BEREAVEMENT MEETING
Monday, November 2nd at 7:00 pm
Parish Activity Center-Room 303
Grief is a normal human reaction to loss and
change. A healthy expression of grief is one that
acknowledges the pain that accompanies loss and
allows it to happen. Avoiding the “bad” feelings –
anger, sadness, guilt, etc. – does not make them go
away, even over time. Support of others with similar
experiences can help us to be more understanding
and patient with ourselves as we go through our
time of grief. Please join us for our next gathering
on If you cannot attend but want information, contact Michelle Taunton at Epiphanychurch-
help2grieve@gmail.com.
And other foods for our monthly
Food Drive scheduled for next
weekend, November 8.
