We’re having a Baby Shower!
Our spiritually adopted babies will be born in
late November. In their honor we are having a
baby shower during the month of November.
We will place a basket in the vestibule under our
spiritually adopted baby poster. All baby presents donated in honor of our spiritually
adopted babies will be donated to the Marshall
County Pregnancy Crisis Centers.
This year the baby shower takes the place of
our former “Gifts for Baby Jesus”, but gifts are
still donated in His name and to the same place.
We will have available the names of items
needed.
Help make our Baby Shower a big success!
All of these saved
babies are children of
God!
Society of St. Vincent de Paul
As you may know, St. Vincent DePaul Society
(SVDP), here at St. William, helps the “needy”
residents of Marshall County. For the year that ended on
September 30, SVDP assisted over 3,500 people, adults and
children, with food and 172 families with financial assistance
in excess of $14,000. Your contributions of food plus cash
donations made this possible. Thank you for your generous
and continued support! You will be blessed for as stated in
Matthew 25:40, “I assure you, as often as you did it for one of
my least brothers, you did it for Me.”
If you’re interested in helping/joining SVDP, then please
contact Tim Higgins at 256.728.8880.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
“What is the Church if not the assembly of all the
saints?” wrote the fifth-century bishop Niceta. Each Sunday, in
the Profession of Faith, we express our belief in the communion
of saints, the one body—with Christ as its head—made up of
“those who are pilgrims on earth, the dead who are being purified and the blessed in heaven.” We are not alone!
The preface for All Saints begins, “For today by your
gift we celebrate the festival of your city,
the heavenly Jerusalem, our mother.” What astounding words!
All Saints Day (like every solemnity) is nothing less than the
festival of the fullness of the paschal mystery, our dying and
rising in Christ. Of course, now in autumn the mystery comes
“clothed” in glorious autumnal garb, and so we celebrate our
Easter faith with signs of the harvest, signs of nature’s dying,
signs of the “homecoming” that happens naturally when the
weather gets cold and families find themselves together more
often. While the dying can point to our own mortality, the
homecoming reminds us of the mystery of our own resurrection
with Christ.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En México y otros países latinoamericanos se están
preparando para celebrar el Día de Todos los Santos (1o de noviembre) y el Día de los Muertos (2 de noviembre). Estas dos
fiestas cristianas fueron mezcladas con antiguos ritos y devociones mesoamericanas. Ellas enfatizan que la muerte es parte
normal del ciclo de la vida y que los difuntos no se olvidan de
sus seres queridos. Esta es la base de la devoción católica a los
santos: Dios es Dios de los vivos y no de los muertos (Mateo
22:32); por eso los muertos siguen vivos en una nueva dimensión.
En estos días las familias pasan tiempo en los cementerios, visitando las tumbas de sus parientes y amistades, lavando las lápidas, poniendo arreglos de zempasuchil y encendiendo
veladoras.
En casa, muchos latinos construyen y adornan altarcitos dedicándolos a las almas de sus seres queridos que han
muerto. En los altares se encuentran papel picado, fotos de los
difuntos, artículos religiosos, comida, bebida, cigarritos y otras
cosas que los ya muertos disfrutaban durante sus vidas. Para los
niños muertos se añaden juguetitos que les gustaban en vida.

The Word in our Lives/La Palabra en nuestras vidas
When you think of Jesus, what do you think
of as his job? Healer of the sick, the lame, and the
blind, as in today’s Gospel? The second reading
from Hebrews reminds us of his main function. Paul
calls him a high priest. The high priest offered the
most important temple sacrifices and so appealed to
God for forgiveness of the people’s sins.
The high priest offered sacrifice for his own
sins as well as the people’s. While Jesus did not sin,
he experienced temptations just as we do, and so can
intercede for us as one who knows what it is like to
be tempted. If you ever wonder if you deserve to be
forgiven, remember that Jesus died for all sinners,
deserving or not. Like the high priest, Jesus also
brings our prayers to his Father and shows us the
Father’s love.
Our baptism gives us a share in that
priesthood. You don’t have to be ordained to pray
for your friends and family. When you listen to a
friend who is hurting, or forgive someone who hurts
you, you are blessing them with God’s love. When
you encourage them to have faith and trust in the
Lord, you are bringing them to God. You are
sharing in the priesthood of Christ.
Cuándo usted piensa de Jesús, ¿en qué piensas
que es su trabajo? ¿Curador de los enfermos, los incapacitados, los ciegos, como en el Evangelio de hoy?
La segunda lectura de Hebreos nos recuerda de su
función principal. Pablo lo llama un sumo sacerdote.
El sumo sacerdote ofrecía los sacrificios del templo
más importantes y así le pidió a Dios a perdonar los
pecados del pueblo.
El sumo sacerdote ofrecía sacrificios por sus
propios pecados, y también los pecados del pueblo.
Mientras que Jesús no pecó, él experimentó tentaciones como nosotros; por eso, él puede interceder para
nosotros como alguien que sabe lo que siente al ser
tentado. Si le ha preguntado a sí mismo alguna vez si
merece el perdón, recuerda que Jesús murió por todos
pecadores, merecedores o no. Al igual que el sumo
sacerdote, Jesús también lleva nuestras oraciones al
Padre y nos muestra el amor del Padre.
Nuestro bautismo nos hace participar en ese
sacerdocio. Usted no tiene que ser ordenado para orar
por sus amigos y familiares. Cuando uno escucha a un
amigo que está sufriendo, o perdona a alguien que le
hace daño, está bendiciéndolos con el amor de Dios.
Cuando les anima a tener fe y confianza en el Señor,
está llevándolos a Dios. Usted está participando en el
sacerdocio de Cristo.
"For faith is the beginning and the end is love, and God is the two of them brought into unity. After these
comes whatever else that makes up a Christian gentleman."
―St. Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Ephesians
After traveling several thousand miles, mostly through unfriendly territory, the young German knight
There is
Only One
King
finally saw the object of his pilgrimage: the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. This journey of
turmoil and toil was undertaken because of faith and love in Christ. Pilgrimages were popular in 11th century Europe. People would leave home and travel long distances to pray at a shrine of their favorite saint.
Young Godfrey's journey was similar but a bit different. He was a warrior, a knight marked with the sign of
Christ and one of the leaders of the First Crusade.
Urged to go on pilgrimage by the pope and motivated by faith and love, he sold parcels of his
property in order to finance his pilgrimage. Although he didn't know it at the outset, his journey would be
full of suffering: disease, famine, physical exhaustion, and even fear of death. Yet he endured out of faith
and love and finally found himself praying at the empty tomb of the Lord. Godfrey was a bright, courageous, and well-respected knight. His fellow warriors wanted to make him king of Jerusalem. He recoiled
at such an idea. His response is legendary and reflects the heart of a true Christian gentleman, because it
is rooted in faith and love: "I will not wear a crown of gold in the city where my Savior wore a crown of
thorns."
Action Step
Faith and love are the essential characteristics of a Christian gentleman. Consider how you've seen those
qualities (or other important ones) modeled in men you know. How might you provide this kind of example
for a young Christian man this week?
