He made the lame walk, taught the simple, gave sight to the blind, healed the sick, comforted the afflicted, and afflicted the comfortable. Jesus is the single greatest agent of change in human history. His teaching is not complex or exclusive, but simple and applicable to everyone and everywhere, even on a boat shaken by the strength of a big storm. The boat shaken by the waves and wind also symbolizes the Catholic Church. Our tormented time is a good opportunity for us to improve and strengthen our faith in the sanctity of the church founded and driven by Jesus Christ himself. We should bear storms and trials in this life as a testing of our faith. God does not tempt us, but He allows us to be tempted by the world, the flesh, and the devil. Even when we think God pays no attention to us, we should trust in His concern and power – and persevere in prayer and good works, saying, “Lord, help us!” Canon Antoine Boucheron Kingship of Christ - All Saints Celebration COME AND JOIN US TODAY - SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4 O'Brien Hall immediately following the 10:00am Mass Please come and celebrate these holy feasts together! Everyone is invited to eat, visit, mingle and get to know your fellow Oratory members and new visitors. You will have the opportunity to guess all the saints who will come for a visit! NOVEMBER, MONTH OF THE POOR SOULS Pray for the Poor Souls in Purgatory throughout the month of November The Church remembers in her prayers, throughout the entire month of November, all of the faithfully departed who have still to be purified in Purgatory. The Church also invites the faithful to pray for the dead especially those of our family. Please don't forget to also pray for the deceased priests & bishops. We pray for them all because we confidently believe that the prayers at the altar are most profitable for them and the most effective means of releasing the souls of the faithful departed from their torments in Purgatory. A Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory O Good Jesus, Whose loving Heart was ever troubled by the sorrows of others, look with pity on the souls of our dear ones in Purgatory. O Thou who didst "love Thine own," hear our cry for mercy, and grant that those whom Thou hast called from our homes and hearts may soon enjoy everlasting rest in the home of Thy love in Heaven. Amen. V. Eternal Rest grant unto them, O Lord. R. And let perpetual light shine upon them. Amen. NOVEMBER 1-8: Visit the Cemetery, gain a plenary indulgence! From November 1st through November 8th, a plenary indulgence (applicable only to the Poor Souls) is granted to those who visit a cemetery and pray there, even if only mentally, for the departed. Indulgence granted under ordinary conditions. Dedication of the Archbasilica of Our Holy Savior Friday, November 9 - 8:00am Mass The Temple of Stones is a Symbol of the Living Church On Friday, (November 9) the liturgy celebrates the dedication of the Lateran Basilica, called “mother and head of all the churches of the city and the world.” In fact, this basilica was the first to be built after Emperor Constantine’s edict, in 313, granted Christians freedom to practice their religion. The emperor himself gave Pope Miltiades the ancient palace of the Laterani family, and the basilica, the baptistery, and the patriarchate, that is, the Bishop of Rome’s residence — where the Popes lived until the Avignon period — were all built there. The basilica’s dedication was celebrated by Pope Sylvester around 324 and was named Most Holy Savior; only after the 6th century were the names of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist added, and now is typically denominated by these latter. Initially the observance of this feast was confined to the city of Rome; then, beginning in 1565, it was extended to all the Churches of the Roman rite. The honoring of this sacred edifice was a way of expressing love and veneration for the Roman Church, which, as St. Ignatius of Antioch says, “presides in charity” over the whole Catholic communion (Letter to the Romans, 1:1). On this solemnity the Word of God recalls an essential truth: the temple of stones is a symbol of the living Church, the Christian community, which in their letters the Apostles Peter and Paul already understood as a “spiritual edifice,” built by God with “living stones,” namely, Christians themselves, upon the one foundation of Jesus Christ, who is called the “cornerstone” (cf. 1 Corinthians 3:9-11, 16-17; 1 Peter 2:4-8; Ephesians 2:20-22). “Brothers, you are God’s building,” St. Paul wrote, and added: “holy is God’s temple, which you are” (1 Corinthians 3:9c, 17). The beauty and harmony of the churches, destined to give praise to God, also draws us human beings, limited and sinful, to convert to form a “cosmos,” a well-ordered structure, in intimate communion with Jesus, who is the true Saint of saints. This happens in a culminating way in the Eucharistic liturgy, in which the “ecclesia,” that is, the community of the baptized, come together in a unified way to listen to the Word of God and nourish themselves with the Body and Blood of Christ. From these two tables the Church of living stones is built up in truth and charity and is internally formed by the Holy Spirit transforming herself into what she receives, conforming herself more and more to the Lord Jesus Christ. She herself, if she lives in sincere and fraternal unity, in this way becomes the spiritual sacrifice pleasing to God. Dear friends, today’s feast celebrates a mystery that is always relevant: God’s desire to build a spiritual temple in the world, a community that worships him in spirit and truth (cf. John 4:23-24). But this observance also reminds us of the importance of the material buildings in which the community gathers to celebrate the praises of God. Every community therefore has the duty to take special care of its own sacred buildings, which are a precious religious and historical patrimony. For this we call upon the intercession of Mary Most Holy, that she help us to become, like her, the “house of God,” living temple of his love. — Benedict XVI, Angelus Address, November 9, 2008 Oratory Pilgrimage for the Poor Souls to the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help - Saturday, November 17 Mass 12:30 p.m. / Lunch / Rosary LITURGICAL CALENDAR: NOV 4 - NOV 11 , 2018 Sun., Nov. 4 John DeGroote Daniel Simia 24TH SUNDAY Michael Simia 8:00 a.m. by Tom & Mary Roehrig Low Mass/organ AFTER PENTECOST (2nd Cl., G) MC: Jacob Mihalski 10:00 a.m. †Deceased members of the Thurifer: Peter Cisler High Mass Commemoration for the Pope Confraternity of Christian Mothers Acolytes: Michael Simia St. Cecilia by Conf. of Christian Mothers & Nicholas Furtak Candle: Dominik Bartolazzi, Choir (4th Sunday after the Epiphany) Joshua & Paul Mihalski, Thomas Simia Crucifer: Francis Neumann Mon., Nov. 5 Daily Mass for the Dead, (4th Cl., B) †Jennifer Rasmussen Scott LaLonde 8:00 a.m. Commemoration for the Pope by Grace Skaletski Tues., Nov. 6 Daily Mass for the Dead, (4th Cl., B) †Felix Sobolewski Raphael Cary Gabe Cary Commemoration for the Pope by John & Thelma White 6:00 p.m. HOLY HOUR OF EUCHARISTIC ADORATION - following Holy Mass Wed., Nov. 7 In thanksgiving to St. Joseph Andreas Kempen Daily Mass for the Dead, (4th Cl., B) OPEN 8:00 a.m. Commemoration for the Pope by Gary Dietzen Thur., Nov. 8 Canon Gardner Raphael Cary The Four Holy Crowned Martyrs, (4th Cl., Gabe Cary 8:00 a.m. R) Commemoration for the Pope by Mr. & Mrs. Lasee Fri., Nov. 9 Dedication of the Archbasilica of Our Holy †Joseph & Juliann DeGroote OPEN 8:00 a.m. Savior, 2nd Cl., W) Commemoration for the Pope by John & Thelma White & St. Theodore, Martyr EUCHARISTIC ADORATION - 9:00 am - Noon Sat., Nov. 10 St. Andrew Avellino, Confessor (3rd Cl., W) Canon Boucheron Michael Simia 9:00 a.m. Commemoration for the Pope & St. Tryphon & by Del & Lee Mayer OPEN Companions, Martyrs Sun., Nov. 11 Canon Boucheron Daniel Lexow Gibbon Lexow 8:00 a.m. 25TH SUNDAY by Cal DeBaker Low Mass/organ AFTER PENTECOST (2nd Cl., G) MC: Nathan Reif 10:00 a.m.
