An Angel Frees the Souls of Purgatory By Lodovico Carracci, c.1610 Pinacoteca, Vatican
Monday, November 2 - The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls): WIS 3:1-9, PS 23:1-3A, 3B-4, 5, 6, ROM 6:3-9, JN In Carracci’s painting, who is the luckiest person in 6:37-40 purgatory? That would be the one whom the angel has by the wrist, pointing upward as if saying, “Your time in Tuesday, November 3 - Weekday: Phil 2:5- purgatory is complete; come join the saints in heaven.” 11, Ps 22:26b-32, Lk 14:15-24
As Catholics, our respect for life should include those Wednesday, November 4 - Weekday: Phil who have left this world and moved on to their eternal 2:12-18, Ps 27:1, 4, 13-14, Lk 14:25-33, Rom life. November is the month that the Catholic Church 12:3-13, Jn 10:11-16 dedicates to the Souls in Purgatory. Following All Saints Day on November 1st, we have the feast of all souls Day Thursday, November 5 - Weekday: Phil 3:3 on November 2nd. -8a, Ps 105:2-7, Lk 15:1-10

An ancient tradition existed, which gave rise to modern Sunday, November 8 - Thirty-second Sunday day trick-or-treating, whereby “soulers” (typically in Ordinary Time: WIS 6:12-16, PS 63:2, 3-4, children) would go door to door and offer prayers for the deceased of that household in exchange for treats 5-6, 7-8, 1 THES 4:13-18 OR 4:13-14 known as “soul cakes.” One prayer used by the soulers is recorded by the artist, Sting in a song entitled, Soul Cake.” You can find it on YouTube at: https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu8H5rA9HuA The lyrics/prayer recognize saints Peter and Paul along with God: A soul cake, a soul cake Please remember in your Please, good missus, a soul cake One for Peter, two for Paul prayers the men and And three for Him that made us all. women serving in the On All Souls Day and throughout the month of November, pray each day for your lost loved ones.

We are so grateful for the drive-thru food drive that they held at our Parish Outreach building last weekend, and we thank them AND everyone who donated!
Thank You, St. Kilian Parish, for Helping Us Help Others!
Parish of St. Kilian, Bishop and Martyr - www.stkilian.com 11 A MESSAGE FROM DEACON MARK WETZEL
God's Grace. Romans 8:31-39
If God is for us, who can be against us? If God acquits you, who then can condemn you? ... No one can. No one... Not even yourself.
Then St. Paul asks for specifics, “What can separate us from the love of Christ?”
Anguish? Distress? Persecution? ...The different challenges that each of us face in this thing called life? No! ...Neither heights nor depths, not the future or the past,... no, not even death itself, can separate us from the love of God... St. Paul is convinced of this.... But more importantly, ...how convinced are you?
God’s love, His mercy, His grace surround us.
Billy Graham tells a story of a seminary professor who wanted to teach his students a lesson about God’s grace.
He says, "One of my more memorable professors had a practical way of teaching his students the concept of grace. Near the end of his evangelism course he distributed the final exam, and he cautioned all of us to read the entire thing from beginning to end before starting to answer any of the questions. This warning was written on the front of the exam as well. As we started reading the test, it became unquestionably clear to each of us that we had not studied nearly enough.
"The further we read, the harder the questions became. After a while, audible groans could be heard throughout the lecture hall. But at the end of the last page, however, was a note that read, "You now have a choice. You can either take the exam as written, trusting in your own knowledge and ability or you can sign your name right here and you’ll receive an A for this assignment."
"We sat there stunned," Graham said. "Was he serious? Just sign and get an A? Slowly, the point dawned on us, and one by one we turned in our tests and silently filed out of the room.
"When I talked with the professor years later, he shared some of the reactions he had received through the years. Some students began to take the exam without reading it all the way through, and they would sweat it out for the entire two hours of class time before reaching the last page.
"Others read the first few pages, became angry, turned the test in blank, and stormed out of the room without signing it. They never realized what was available to them, and as a result, they lost out.
"One student, however, read the entire test, including the note at the end, but decided to take the exam anyway. He did not want any gifts; he wanted to earn his grade. And he did. He earned a C-, but he could easily have had an A."
So, perhaps these verses are the last line on the test of life. All who hear the words and trust them pass, they get an A, so to speak.
Yet some hear about God's holiness and think, 'I can never live up to that' and they give up even trying to make the grade. Some spend too much time angry at God; some even much of their lifetime. Never realizing though, that all the while it has been God’s desire to give them grace, mercy, and love. And of course, a lot of us de- pend upon our own knowledge and ability to get ourselves into heaven, and we do our best to work our way toward God's approval. But face it, without God’s grace, we’re all C students at best.
Like Billy Graham’s professor, God makes us an offer that seems to be too good to be true. But true it is. God's grace is freely given.
God’s love, His mercy, His grace surrounds us. ... Abundant ...Never ending. It’s a reckless, no holds barred love.
His grace... reach out, grab it, claim it. Trust it.

God, Lord of Life and King of all Nations, we beg you to Election look kindly upon our country and help us to wisely choose our new leaders. Inform our consciences and enlighten our judgment, that we may elect those who will mercifully uphold Day Prayer justice and strive to protect the least among us. Help us to discern which candidates will uphold both the letter and the spirit of the law. May our nation once again respect religious freedom, authentic marriage, the importance of family and the value of every human life- from conception to natural death. Heal the divisions which wound our unity and help us to overlook political tensions that keep us from becoming a united force for good. May our great land, built on both personal responsibility and charity towards the less fortunate, always balance prosperity with care for the elderly, the poor, the sick and the abandoned. May we elect honest and trustworthy candidates who will always uphold the common good and protect our God-given rights. In concert with the great founders of our nation, may we confidently proclaim, “In God We Trust”. Amen
