WORLD NEWS BRIEFS

Two gunmen kill judge in Spain: Suspected separatists shot a judge to death in northern Basque country Wednesday, police said, just one day after a Madrid car bombing injured nearly 100 people. The successive attacks, blamed on the Basque group ETA, dashed hopes that the separatists might disarm in the wake of the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States, following the lead of the Irish Republican Army. More than 800 people have been killed during ETA's 33-year drive for an independent Basque homeland. World population may reach 10.9B: The world's population could skyrocket to 10.9 billion people by 2050 if women do not gain better access to education and health care. Women must receive adequate reproductive health care and have equal status to men and the right to plan the size of their families if the planet is to rein in its population the U.N. Population Fund said.

inistrv Life Changed, Not Ended RCIA Study Session 6:30p.m. 330 Coleman-Morse Center • By Fr. Bill Wack, CSC, Director of the Freshman Retreat Program

November is the time of the year when our thoughts turn to our beloved dead. This seems appropriate, as the days are getting cold~r and shorter, the trees around here are starting to look 807 Mass barren, and the Scripture readings at Mass focus on the Second Coming of Christ. The recent 8:00p.m. celebrations of All Saints' Day, All Souls' Day, and el Dia de Los Muertos serve to remind us of our lounge, Coleman-Morse Center obligation to remember those who have gone before us. But death is not just something that affects Freshman Retreat #37 us in the Fall; it is with us constantly. If you listen to the Prayers of the Faithful you almost always Sacred Heart Parish Center hear someone in the congregation praying for a relative or friend who has recently died. In a large community like this, we are bound to experience tragedy on a fairly regular basis, unfortunately. Marriage Preparation Retreat What are we to think of death and those who have died? How do we support our friends and Fatima Retreat Center classmates who have lost loved ones? Is there anything we can do for the deceased? Christians have always believed that, although the death of a loved one brings a tremendous loss to us, it is a birth into eternal life. From the Funeral Liturgy we pray, "When the body of our earthly dwelling lies in death, we gain an everlasting dwelling place in Heaven." Yes, it is tragic that we cannot see or touch or hear our friend or relative again. Death robs us of our physical contact with RCIA Retreat the other person, it brings a tremendous amount of grief (and maybe even guilt). It sometimes makes Coleman-Morse Center · us feel cut off from God and from others around us. When we experience the death of someone close to us, we need to be reassured. We need to be reminded of our belief in the Resurrection and eternal life with God. We need others to console us and listen to us and pray with us. We need to remember all the good we were permitted to experience with the person who has died. Sometimes we need to be alone, other times we want to be with others who will listen. St. Paul offers excellent advice for those who want to support grieving friends: law School Mass. "Comfort one another with assurances of faith." 5:00 p.. m. • The greatest assurance we can give someone is to remind them that their loved one has not ceased law School Chapel to exist. In fact, they are now living more fully than any of us on earth are. The souls of the just are MBA Mass still connected to us in our hearts, our memories, and - especially - in our prayers. Nothing can 7:00 p•• m. separate us from the love that we share in Christ ... nothing. The dead are very much a part of the Mendoza College of Business Chapel Body of Christ, and as such, are in need of our prayers even as they intercede for us. Should we pray for the dead? Absolutely. Praying for the souls of the departed unites us with them even as it aids them in their final journey to Heaven. In the book of Maccabees the faithful people offered intercessions for the dead as a way to strengthen their own belief in the Resurrection. St. Paul often mentioned in his letters (and prayers) those who have died in the peace of Christ. The Way Bible Study Almost all of us pray for those who are living, for whatever intention those people have. Why stop when the person has died? We are still connected with them through our prayers, and they may need 8:30 p:.m. • 331 Coleman-Morse Center our help now more than ever. There are many things we can do to remember our beloved dead. A powerful way to pray for them is to have a Mass offered for them. (You can do this through the Basilica offices or you can ask your rector how to do this.) Also, you will notice an open book just in front of the sanctuary in the Basilica and in many chapels on campus as well. Feel free to inscribe the name of the dead in one of those books, and to pray for the names of those already there. Visit a cemetery and ask that God receive the souls of those whose bodies are there into Heaven. Offer small sacrifices during the day for the good of the souls in Purgatory. Most of all, call to mind the good things you shared with your friend or relative, and keep them alive in your heart. We have to admit that death is a difficult subject. From a human point of view, it is a tragedy, a horrible loss. • Presiders But death is not the final answer! The Resurrection of Jesus Christ has opened the gates of Heaven to all who Basilica of the Sacred Heart follow and believe. Especially during the month of November, let us pray for the dead and for those who mourn their passing. May our prayers strengthen our faith and our communion with our brothers and sisters. And know Saturday, November 10 Mass that we will see our beloved dead again - in the Resurrection of the Just. 5:00p.m. Rev. David J. Scheidler, c.s.c. Sunday, November 11 Mass 10:00a.m. Rev. Gary S.

His personal imagination is so unique that he has seemingly created a whole new universe on film: An eccentric world of weird. Within this world, characters undergo perverse and macabre moments in the most entertaining of fashions, in instants that can only be described as "Lynchian."
