LOOKING TO THE LAST DAY
Today the Church remembers all who have walked
the way of Christ and passed from this life. The readings
all look to the last day, when we shall all rise from the
dead and be reunited.
The prophet Daniel announces words of warning and
welfare. He cautions us against the judgment to come, but
he also comforts us and assures us that all who live a life
of virtue and justice will find life eternal.
The reading from Romans reminds us that, because
of Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection and our entrance into that paschal mystery through baptism, we now
share in the new life won by Christ. This recognition has
repercussions: we need to live righteously now, that we
might rise to life forever with Christ on the last day.
In the Gospel Jesus pledges that all the Father has
given him will not be lost. All the faithful will be raised to
joy and live forever in the presence of God.

Requiem
Maybe it’s because we’ve had 49 funerals between our two parishes this year … Or, maybe it’s because I turned 50 this year
… But I find myself reading the local obituaries far more often
than I’ve done before! It is often fascinating to see how folks are
memorialized in the newspaper. It makes one stop and think,
“What will they write about me someday?” I remember a high
school exercise in creative writing was to produce our own epitaphs. That might be something each of us might reflect upon on
this All Souls Day.
What will you and I be remembered for after we’re gone? And
by that question, I mean not only as individuals, but as a community – as a church? At a time when so many live out their
days as if God did not exist, are we not in a certain sense a
faithful remnant of humanity striving for holiness? I sometimes
wonder if in the far distant future our times will be looked upon
as another Dark Age. And that, just as the monks and nuns of
ages past preserved the Truth, so we will one day be remembered for holding fast to the Faith of our ancestors.
Such thoughts come to me especially at funerals of faithful
Catholics whose children and grandchildren no longer practice
the Faith … or no longer believe at all. One of my brother
priests commented to me the other day, “It’s going to be a very
different church ten years from now.” By that he meant that
many of the Catholic institutions we now take for granted will be
gone. I would tend to agree, especially as I witness the passing
of so many of the “pillars” of our parish communities. I’d go so
far as to say that we no longer facing a priest shortage … we
are facing a people shortage!
Perhaps these are melancholy, pessimistic thoughts. But then,
All Souls is a somber day; a day to consider our mortality. The
world, as we’ve known it, is quickly passing away. As the
Psalms remind us:
As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
When the wind has passed over it, it is no
more,
And its place acknowledges it no longer.…
(Psalm 103: 15-16.)
But all is not doom and gloom. Despite the challenges and
changes that confront us, we have hope that all is in God’s
hands. While you and I may pass away, there is never a
“requiem” for the Church. There are signs of the “new springtime” that recent popes have heralded. In various places a deep
renewal is underway. I remember being in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York as Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI prayed – and
invited us to pray – for a “new Pentecost” in the Church; a new
outpouring of the Spirit to stir into flame the embers that lie beneath the “dust and ashes” of a post-Christian society. Come,
Holy Spirit!

MCDONELL AREA CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

www.macs.k12.wi.us * 715.723.0538
Dear Parishioners,
When I speak to prospective parents about the McDonell
Area Catholic Schools (MACS), I characterize the school community as family. MACS is an educational setting with Christ at
the very heart of all that we do. Through faith experiences like
liturgies, prayer services, sacraments, acts of charity and service, our students leave well grounded in core knowledge and
gospel values. Our students not only excel academically, but
they are leaders within their school community. They exemplify
the values we strive to instill here at MACS!
I also tell prospective parents that MACS is composed of a
caring group of teachers and support staff. We care about helping students achieve academic excellence, but we know that
teaching about respect, individual responsibility and social skills
is equally important. We strive to create an environment where
students feel safe, comfortable, and respected.
We invite you to join us at any of the many events we have
planned in the coming months. Thank you for supporting your
Catholic schools.
Michelle Farrow, Education Commission Chair

Peter’s Patter
Hello from the First & Second Graders; we continue to work
hard in all of our subjects. In religion we are learning about the
Fall of Man as well as the fall of the Angels. Why did Adam and
Eve disobey God when they had it all in the Garden of Eden,
why did some of the angels think they were better than God?
We are also studying our saint for All Saints Day so we will be
ready in case we are asked to give a report to the Grandparents. In Math we are finding out “that creating groups of ten”
help us with addition and subtraction. In Reading and Language
we are working with adverbs and adjectives, writing opinion
paragraphs while making sure we end our opinion with a closing
sentence that helps others to agree with our opinion. We continue to study the life cycle of a plant and the grass seeds we
planted with Mrs. Wild did sprout!
We hope that those who attended the fall dance had a great
time. Thanks to all of those parents that helped out and especially to Deacon Rider for making his pizza!
Reminder that we have parent/teacher conferences November
5th -7th.
Reminder: Reconciliation meeting November 8, 2014 9:00
a.m. at St. Charles. This meeting is for parents and
student.
Have a great week and as always we ask for your prayers!
