ALL SAINTS AND ALL SOULS

It is hard to believe, but we are now beginning the month of November! It is often a busy month as we get ready for the great family event of Thanksgiving and thoughts also begin to turn to Christmas (and there are already plenty of Christmas things about, not least in the stores). We begin the month by celebrating the great feast day of “All Saints”. We give thanks and honor to all those special members of God’s family who heard the Lord’s call and then followed him. We can also remember that, as Peter Kreeft puts it: ...“the Saints are not freaks or exceptions. They are the standard operating model for human beings. In fact, in the biblical sense of the word, all believers are saints. "Sanctity" means holiness. All are holy…for they bear the image of God. Saints are not the opposite of sinners. There are no opposites of sinners in this world. There are only saved sinners and unsaved sinners. Thus holy does not mean "sinless" but "set-apart:" called out of the world to the destiny of eternal ecstasy with God.”

Our feast day is a powerful reminder of how we can also be inspired by the lives of the saints. We too have the same call and the same invitation and the Lord offers us the same help so that we can follow him. So, we are asked not just to admire the saints, but to imitate them. November then is a great month to pick a saint each day and to read about their life so that we can imitate their example and so that we too can use well the gift of life that we have received from the Lord.

November is also, of course, the month of “Holy Souls”: when we traditionally think of all our family, friends and benefactors who have gone before us. To mark this time, during the 11.30 am Mass this weekend we remember all our departed brothers and sisters, especially those who have died in the last year and who have a particular connection with our parish of St. Ambrose. (Many thanks to all those who have helped with this wonderful and moving event!) A reminder that we will also be offering Mass each day during the month for those on our memorial list (taken from the All Souls envelopes that have been handed in) and for those in our Book of Remembrance (this can be found in front of the ambo/lectern on the sanctuary).

The tradition of praying for all our loved ones who have died is, of course, very ancient and it can be found in almost all cultures and places over millennia. The specific choice of November as the month for a particular remembering is also ancient: around a thousand years old or more. It can be a difficult time as we think of those who have had such an influence on our lives but who are no longer physically present with us: we can sorely miss them. So, perhaps we can share a few thoughts on why we have this special season and how it can help us in our everyday life and to encourage us to growth in faith.

There are many layers, both emotional and spiritual, to our annual remembrance of those who have died. We certainly celebrate our faith in life and in the life to come; in Jesus who is “the resurrection and the life” (John 11: 25). We can celebrate Jesus’ victory over sin and death and the promise and hope of our life in heaven along with those who have gone before us. This is why St. Paul says “do not grieve as the others do” (1 Thess. 4: 13). He does not say that we should not grieve at all: that would just be ridiculous. Rather, we should not grieve as though we have no hope or faith in the life to come.

We also celebrate life: the lives of those who have gone before us and also our own life. This memorial season is a time when we realize both how wonderful and yet how fragile the gift of life is and how it is indeed a gift. God calls each one of us to use the gift of life that we have been given well: in love of God and of our neighbor. What happens to us in the life to come is determined by what happens in this life (as is so strongly put in Jesus’ words about judgment in Matthew 25: 31-46). As one spiritual writer puts it, “our future is now”. St. Ambrose writing all those centuries ago provided us with a great image when he wrote: “the Lord asks us to sacrifice present interests for the sake of eternal interests…in this way we purchase eternity with the coin of time.” Another image that can be helpful is that of our Christian life as a journey. This journey began in our birth and then our baptism and it will be completed when our life’s journey is ended. So, a fundamental question is: how well did we journey…?

This time of the year can be a real encouragement for us to discern what God is asking of us and so to live our lives in His service to our families, our friends, our church and school community and to those in need. We can be inspired and guided by the saints and by all those special people we have known who have gone before us: family, friends, guides and mentors.

7 ALL SAINTS Around the Parish

The Family Life Ministry is designating NOVEMBER as the MONTH of SERVICE What is the key aspect when you think of a family? Love…and...Service. Service to one another, helping each other, sacrificing our love, our conveniences, and our comforts so that someone else may be more comfortable, so that they are happy and live a better life. This can be in our immediate families, but also our “Parish Family”. It all comes down to service. We should treat everyone as family. We should serve them as if they were our own family.

For next month our ministry is asking for two questions—

First—Do you know someone in our Parish Family that needs assistance in fall cleanup—either inside or outside? Do you know someone who needs assistance in a small project, like cleaning out the garage, or painting a room, etc.? PLEASE contact Justina our Faith Formation Secretary at 785-1351 (307) or [email protected] with the info.

Second—Would your family like to give back to our Parish Family by sharing your time/talents/comforts. Also PLEASE contact our Faith Formation Secretary Justina at 785-1351 x307 or [email protected] with the info.

Thank you and God Bless
