November 1st, 2020 A.D. – The Feast of All

Gregorian liturgy Until 1969, the various Catholic liturgies were all of apostolic origin. The Gregorian Latin liturgy, celebrated in this church, fol- lows the tradition of Peter, the first , and has never undergone any essen- tial change till the present time. Every ges- ture, every word has been weighed and measured with the assistance of the Holy Ghost for the greatest glory of God and the salvation of souls. Welcome Visitors! We thank you for coming.

Joshua Jacobs - Chaplain All Saints' Day is a solemnity celebrated on November 1st by the Church in honor of all the saints, known and unknown. The day commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. In the Roman Catholic Church, the next day, All Souls' Day, specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet been purified and reached heaven. Catholics celebrate All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day in the fundamental belief that there is a prayerful spiritual communion between those in the state of grace who have died and are either being purified in Purgatory or are in Heaven (the 'church penitent' and the 'church triumphant', respectively), and the 'church militant' who are the living. **** The All Saints Day pageant will be held today after . **** Special indulgences in November for praying for the Poor Souls and for visiting cemeteries Enchiridion Indulgentiarum 1999, n. 29 1: A plenary indulgence, applicable only to the souls in purgatory, is granted to the faithful (1) who, on any and each day from November 1 to 8, devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, if only mentally, for the departed; (2) on All Souls’ Day (or, according to the judgment of the ordinary, on the Sunday preceding or following it, or on the solemnity of All Saints), devoutly visit a church or an oratory and recite an Our Father and the Creed. 2: A partial indulgence, applicable only to the souls in purgatory, is granted to the faithful (1) who devoutly visit a cemetery and at least mentally pray for the dead; or (2) who devoutly recite lauds or vespers from the Office of the Dead or the prayer Eternal Rest. **** All Souls Mass intention envelopes are in the vestibule. Today is the deadline to turn them in. They will be placed on the Altar at the Priory for the month of November. **** All Floridian faithful and friends are encouraged to join in a day of repentance, fast and prayer tomorrow, All Soul's Day. The intentions are for the repose of all American souls in purgatory and for their consequent intercession for a successful election. **** Today’s the second collection will be taken up for the building fund. **** The 33-day preparation for the Total Consecration to Mary begins Thursday, November 5th and will end December 7th. **** We have paid 20,000.00 towards Phase 1 of our renovations, any donation would be appreciated to help us continue the work. **** St. Charles Borromeo (2 October 1538 – 3 November 1584) was archbishop of Milan from 1564 to 1584 and a cardinal. He was a leading figure of the Counter-Reformation combat against the Protestant Reformation together with St. Ignatius of Loyola and St. Philip Neri. In that role he was responsible for significant reforms in the Church, including the founding of seminaries for the education of priests. He was beatified on May 12th, 1602 by Pope Clement VIII and canonized on November 1st, 1620 by Pope Paul V. His feast day is on November 4. “The LORD is in his Holy Temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.” (Hab. 2, 20) ON THE ADVANTAGES OF TRIBULATIONS by St. (9) He who wishes to share in the glory of the saints, must suffer in this life as the saints have suf- fered. None of the saints has been esteemed or treated well by the world all of them have been despised and persecuted. In them have been verified the words of the Apostle: “All that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.” (2 Tim 3:12) Hence St. Augustine said, that they who are unwilling to suffer persecutions, have not as yet begun to be Christians. “Si putas non habere persecutiones, nondum cæpisti esse Christianus.” When we are in tribulation, let us be satisfied with the consolation of knowing that the Lord is then near us and in our company. “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart.” (Ps. 33:19) “I am with him in tribula- tion.” (Ps. 90:15) Second Point. On the manner in which we should bear tribulations. He who suffers tribulations in this world should, in the first place, abandon sin, and endeavor to recover the grace of God; for as long as he remains in sin, the merit of all his sufferings is lost. St. Paul says “If I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.” (1 Cor 13:3) If you suffered all the torments of the ; or bore to be burned alive, and were not in the state of grace, it would profit you nothing. But, to those who can suffer with God, and with resignation for God’s sake, all the tribulations shall be a source of comfort and gladness. “Your sorrow shall be turned into joy.” (John 16:20) Hence, after having been insulted and beaten by the Jews, the apostles departed from the council full of joy, because they had been maltreated for the love of Jesus Christ. “And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer re- proach for the name of Jesus.” (Acts 5:41) Hence, when God visits us with any tribulations, we must say with Je- sus Christ: “The chalice which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?” (John 18:11) It is necessary to know that every tribulation, though it may come from men, is sent to us by God.
