THE MONTH OF THE HOLY SOULS IN PURGATORY We spend the month of November praying for our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection (Eucharistic Prayer II): the Holy Souls in Purgatory who await their union with Christ. Please pray that God may give the gift of eternal joy in Heaven to those who did great things for us while they lived and continue to help us by their prayers. The greatest prayer, the Holy Mass, celebrates the Resurrection. We celebrated a special Mass for all those who had died during the past year and printed their names in the bulletin last week to help you remember to pray for them. Our parish prays for the deceased: Mondays and Fridays we have Adoration in the church/chapel, Wednesdays in November we have noon Mass for those remembered in the All Souls envelopes, and the names recorded in Book of the Names of the Dead, in front of the altar of Mary, are remembered at Masses this month. This month we also pray about our end, what happens after death. At the end of our life we will be judged by God. We either go to heaven, where we will see God and live forever in His loving presence, or Hell, where we will suffer eternal punishment and separation from the Lord, or Purgatory. God is Merciful: Jesus came not to condemn the world but to save it. Purgatory is God s Mercy to the deceased (the Holy Souls ): they experience the purgation, from which the word Purgatory comes, of their sins. The saints go directly to Heaven. The Holy Souls pray for us but cannot pray for themselves, and we believe our prayers for them hasten their journey to Heaven. Please read the following excerpt from the homily that Pope Benedict gave during this Year of Faith on how believers respond to the mystery of death: How do we as Christians respond to the question of death? We respond with faith in God, with a look of solid hope that is based on the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Then death opens to life, to eternal life, which is not an infinite duplication of the present time, but something entirely new. Our faith teaches us that true immortality to which we aspire is not an idea, a concept, but a relationship of full communion with the living God: it is being in His hands, in His love, and becoming in Him one with all the brothers and sisters that He created and redeemed, with the whole of creation. Our hope then rests on the love of God that shines from the Cross of Christ, and that resonates in the heart the words of Jesus to the good thief, "Today you will be with me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43). This is life at its fullness: life in God, a life which we can now only glimpse at like blue sky through the fog. Our prayer is nourished by firm hope that "does not disappoint" (Rom 5:5), as guaranteed by Christ who wanted to live the experience of death in the flesh to triumph over it with the miraculous event of the Resurrection. BENEDICT XVI: FROM THE LETTER DOOR OF FAITH FOR THE YEAR OF FAITH (Part 6) Caritas Christi urget nos (2 Cor 5:14): it is the love of Christ that fills our hearts and impels us to evangelize. Today as in the past, he sends us through the highways of the world to proclaim his Gospel to all the peoples of the earth (cf. Mt 28:19). Through his love, Jesus Christ attracts to himself the people of every generation: in every age he convokes the Church, entrusting her with the proclamation of the Gospel by a mandate that is ever new. Today too, there is a need for stronger ecclesial commitment to new evangelization in order to rediscover the joy of believing and the enthusiasm for communicating the faith. In rediscovering his love day by day, the missionary commitment of believers attains force and vigour that can never fade away. Faith grows when it is lived as an experience of love received and when it is communicated as an experience of grace and joy. It makes us fruitful, because it expands our hearts in hope and enables us to bear life-giving witness: indeed, it opens the hearts and minds of those who listen to respond to the Lord s invitation to adhere to his word and become his disciples. Believers, so Saint Augustine tells us, strengthen themselves by believing. The saintly Bishop of Hippo had good reason to express himself in this way. As we know, his life was a continual search for the beauty of the faith until such time as his heart would find rest in God. His extensive writings, in which he explains the importance of believing and the truth of the faith, continue even now to form a heritage of incomparable riches, and they still help many people in search of God to find the right path towards the door of faith. Only through believing, then, does faith grow and become stronger; there is no other possibility for possessing certitude with regard to one s life apart from self-abandonment, in a continuous crescendo, into the hands of a love that seems to grow constantly because it has its origin in God.

EL MES DE LAS ALMAS BENDITAS EN PURGATORIO Dedicamos el mes de noviembre rezando nuestros hermanos que se durmieron en la esperanza de la resurrección (Oración eucarística II): las almas santas del Purgatorio quienes esperan su unión con Cristo. Por favor, recen para que Dios pueda darle el don de la alegría eterna en el cielo a los quienes hicieron grandes cosas para nosotros mientras que vivieron y nos siguen ayudando con sus oraciones. La oración más grande, la Santa Misa, celebra la resurrección. Nosotros celebramos una misa especial para todos aquellos que han fallecido durante el año pasado, y sus nombres aparecieron en el boletín de la semana pasada para que los recuerden en sus oraciones. Como una parroquia, oren por los difuntos: los lunes y viernes tenemos Adoración en la iglesia/capilla, los miércoles durante el mes de noviembre, tenemos misa al mediodía para recordar los nombres que aparecen en los sobres de Todas las Almas, y en el Libro de los Nombres de los Muertos, enfrente del altar de María, usted puede anotar los nombres de los fallecidos quienes recordamos en las misas de este mes. Este mes es acerca del final, qué ocurre después de la muerte, y lo que creemos sobre el Purgatorio. Al final de nuestra vida seremos juzgados por Dios y después iremos al cielo, donde veremos a Dios y viviremos en su presencia amorosa para siempre, o el Infierno, donde sufriremos el castigo eterno y separación del Señor, o Purgatorio. Creemos en un Dios indulgente, el Purgatorio muestra Su misericordia: Jesús vino no para condenar al mundo sino para salvarlo. Dios muestra misericordia a los difuntos (las Almas Santas ) por la purgación, de donde viene la palabra Purgatorio, de sus pecados, mientras que los santos van directamente al Cielo. Las Almas Santas oran por nosotros pero no pueden orar por sí mismas, y creemos que nuestras oraciones hacia ellos puedan acelerar su viaje al cielo. Por favor, lea el siguiente extracto de la homilía que el Papa Benedicto XVI dio durante este Año de la fe acerca de cómo los creyentes responden al misterio de la muerte: Cómo respondemos los cristianos a la cuestión de la muerte? Respondemos con la fe en Dios, con una mirada de esperanza sólida que se funda en la muerte y resurrección de Jesucristo. Entonces, la muerte se abre a la vida, a la vida eterna, que no es una copia infinita del tiempo presente, sino algo completamente nuevo. La fe nos dice que la inmortalidad verdadera a la que aspiramos no es una idea ni un concepto, sino una relación de comunión plena con el Dios vivo; es estar en sus manos, en su amor, es convertirse en Él en una cosa sola con todos los hermanos y hermanas que ha creado y redimido, con la creación entera (...) Es la vida que llega a su plenitud: la vida en Dios; una vida que ahora podemos solamente entrever, como se adivina el cielo sereno a través de la niebla. Nuestra oración está alimentada por esta firme esperanza que no defrauda porque nos la garantizó Cristo que quiso vivir en su carne la experiencia de la muerte para triunfar sobre ella con el acontecimiento prodigioso de la Resurrección. BENEDYKT XVI: OGŁASZAJĄCY ROK WIARY «Caritas Christi urget nos» (2 Kor 5, 14) miłość Chrystusa wypełnia nasze serca i pobudza nas do ewangelizacji. Dzisiaj, tak jak wówczas, posyła On nas na drogi świata, abyśmy głosili Jego Ewangelię wszystkim narodom ziemi (por. Mt 28, 19). Swoją miłością Jezus Chrystus przyciąga do siebie ludzi z każdego pokolenia: w każdym czasie zwołuje on Kościół, powierzając mu głoszenie Ewangelii, nakazem, który zawsze jest nowy. Z tego względu także dziś potrzeba bardziej przekonanego zaangażowania Kościoła na rzecz nowej ewangelizacji, aby na nowo odkryć w wierzeniu radość i odnaleźć zapał do przekazywania wiary. Zaangażowanie misyjne wierzących, którego nigdy nie może zabraknąć, czerpie żywotną siłę w codziennym odkrywaniu Jego miłości. Wiara bowiem rośnie, gdy jest przeżywana jako doświadczenie doznawanej miłości i kiedy jest przekazywana jako doświadczenie łaski i radości. Powoduje, że życie wiernych wydaje owoce, bo dzięki nadziei serce rośnie, oraz umożliwia składanie skutecznego świadectwa: otwiera w istocie serca i umysły słuchających na zaproszenie Pana, aby przylgnęli do Jego słowa, by stali się Jego uczniami. Wierni, stwierdza św. Augustyn, «wzmacniają się przez wiarę». Święty biskup Hippony miał słuszny powód, aby tak się wyrazić. Jak wiemy, jego życie było ciągłym poszukiwaniem piękna wiary, dopóki jego serce nie znalazło spoczynku w Bogu. Jego liczne pisma, w których wyjaśniał znaczenie wiary i prawdę wiary, pozostają aktualne do dziś jako bezcenne dziedzictwo i pozwalają nadal tak wielu ludziom poszukującym Boga znaleźć właściwą ścieżkę, aby dojść do «podwoi wiary». Tak więc tylko gdy się wierzy, wiara rośnie i się umacnia; nie ma innej możliwości, by zyskać pewność co do własnego życia, jak tylko coraz bardziej powierzając siebie w ręce tej miłości, która zdaje się coraz większa, ponieważ swoje źródło ma w Bogu.

There is still time to contribute. If we do not make our goal, the parish will have to pay the difference from what we collect for the ordinary running of the parish. This would mean less money for the upkeep of our building, less money for parish services, less money to minister you, the people of God. Please prayerfully consider what you, as an individual or family can pledge to support the works of the Diocese of Gary and the universal Church. Go, make a difference Ir, Diferenciar Es esencial apoyar la CSA; la parroquia debe pagar la diferencia. Todavía hay tiempo para contribuir. Si no alcanzamos nuestra meta, la parroquia debe pagar la diferencia con los fondos que se colectan para el funcionamiento normal de la parroquia. Esto significaría menos dinero para el mantenimiento de nuestro edificio, menos dinero para los servicios de la parroquia, menos dinero para ministrar a ustedes, el pueblo de Dios.

St. Casimir School students and staff kicked off the celebration of the Year of Faith 2012 on October 11 th with a door decorating contest. Classroom and office doors throughout the building were adorned with inspirational scriptures and images reminding all what it means to live in the Catholic faith. Friendly competition filled the air and creativity flowed through the halls of the school. Eventually two winners were chosen, one from the category of Staff Doors: classroom doors which were hand-crafted Cafeteria by students and their teachers and the other from a group of staff doors. Second grade took the honor of winning among the students, with a door decorated with Jesus open arms and 32 miniature pictures representing each of the students in that class. Let the Little Children Come Unto Me was their theme. The cafeteria took first place among the staff with a representation of a recipe for the love of God and one another. Classroom Door: 2nd Grade The winners will be treated to a pizza party and door decorations will remain in place as the Year of Faith continues through November 24, 2013.

Thirty - Second Sunday in Ordinary Time: The Widow s Mite Paragraph 2011 - III. Merit The charity of Christ is the source in us of all our merits before God. Grace, by uniting us to Christ in active love, ensures the supernatural quality of our acts and consequently their merit before God and before men. The saints have always had a lively awareness that their merits were pure grace. After earth s exile, I hope to go and enjoy you in the fatherland, but I do not want to lay up merits for heaven. I want to work for your love alone... In the evening of this life, I shall appear before you with empty hands, for I do not ask you, Lord, to count my works. All our justice is blemished in your eyes. I wish, then, to be clothed in your own justice and to receive from your love the eternal possession of yourself. [CCC, 492; CCC, 1460 Trigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario: La Viuda del Ácaro Párrafo 2011 - III. El mérito La caridad de Cristo es en nosotros la fuente de todos nuestros méritos ante Dios. La gracia, uniéndonos a Cristo con un amor activo, asegura el carácter sobrenatural de nuestros actos y, por consiguiente, su mérito tanto ante Dios como ante los hombres. Los santos han tenido siempre una conciencia viva de que sus méritos eran pura gracia. «Tras el destierro en la tierra espero gozar de ti en la Patria, pero no quiero amontonar méritos para el Cielo, quiero trabajar sólo por vuestro amor [...] En el atardecer de esta vida compareceré ante ti con las manos vacías, Señor, porque no te pido que cuentes mis obras. Todas nuestras justicias tienen manchas a tus ojos. Por eso, quiero revestirme de tu propia Justicia y recibir de tu Amor la posesión eterna de ti mismo» (Santa Teresa del Niño Jesús, Acte d'offrande á l'amour miséricordieux: Récréations pieuses-priéres).
