Pastor’s Letter November 9/10 Pope Francis’ Questionnaire Dear Parish Family, This week, many sources of Catholic news have reported something quite unique. Pope Francis will be calling a synod of Bishops together in the fall of 2014. In preparation, he is asking Bishops to complete a questionnaire on issues of importance to the church. The Bishops have been asked in turn to distribute the questionnaire as widely as possible to parishes and deaneries. I think it is no coincidence that the announcement comes as we are celebrating the end of the year of faith, a year of reflection and prayer to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council. This council brought into focus a pivotal idea in Christianity: that the Holy Spirit, the voice and inspiration of God, speaks through every member of the church. This of course is not the same thing as saying that every person is an individual and absolute authority on things of faith. It does mean that people together each have an important contribution to make to our understanding of the life of faith. In an article in America Magazine this week, Father Jim Martin reminds readers that the Second Vatican Council in the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium proclaims: "They [the laity] are, by [reason of] knowledge, competence or outstanding ability which they may enjoy, permitted and sometimes even obliged to express their opinion on those things which concern the good of the Church." The specific information being asked for in this questionnaire concerns Pastoral Challenges of the Family in the Context of Evangelization. It asks about the support that Catholic values receive from society and government. The survey also asks about the way church teachings are received, understood, and accepted by the faithful. It seems clear that Pope Francis is particularly concerned that the church would always speak in a way that its love, care, and concern for people are evident and understood. In asking for this information, it is clear that he wishes the entire Catholic community to share this concern. As this year of faith comes to a conclusion, Pope Francis reminds us of the great vision of this remarkable council: that the prayers, hopes, and dreams of the people of this earth will always be shared and understood by their church. Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Michael A. Vetrano A Note from Religious Education Director: Jennifer Ferrantino In the Religious Education office we are busy preparing for the year’s sacraments and upcoming events.

We invite you to share this time of remembrance by writing in the book the names of those friends and loved ones who have fallen asleep in Christ. The book will be conveniently located in the church's center aisle.

Nosotros no podemos evitar el dolor, el vacío y la tristeza que dejaron aquellos que partieron antes que nosotros, ellos se adelantaron en el camino y partieron marcados con la cruz, signo de nuestra fe. Hay razón para que lloremos, pero nuestro dolor está unido a la esperanza de la resurrección, camino de esperanza que nos dejó el Mesías, Jesús mismo. ¡Aleluya! ¡Alabemos al Señor! Texto: Philip J.

Al nacer hay una transformación; al morir también. Algunas personas han tenido la experiencia de morir y describen una luz brillante, un sentido de paz profunda antes de volver a la vida terrenal. Es difícil imaginarnos la vida eterna basada en nuestra experiencia presente. Los saduceos del relato evangélico no creían en la resurrección y le hicieron a Jesús una pregunta capciosa: ¿De quién iba a ser esposa la viuda que había perdido siete esposos? Jesús les hizo ver lo irrelevante de su pregunta: "Dios no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos". La liturgia de exequias dice: "la vida se transforma, no se termina".

El Fin de los Tiempos - Quizás nos preguntemos por qué las lecturas de hoy destacan el tema de la resurrección. En realidad, nos estamos acercando al final del año litúrgico y las lecturas de estas próximas semanas van a resaltar el fin de los tiempos y la llegada del Salvador. Tanto en el libro de los Macabeos como en la carta de san Pablo a los tesalonicenses o el Evangelio de san Lucas, el mismo tema se repite: tenemos que vivir con esperanza porque nuestro Dios es Dios de vivos y no de muertos.

You can warn people to change their evil ways, or to help people who are in danger. God promises that those who do good will see God face to face. You can sit on his lap in his big rocking chair and laugh and laugh together. It will be fun in heaven. Prayer Lord, help me obey your commandments.
