Scripture Readings for the Week:

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

Please pray for our deceased loved ones, especially Carter Joseph Andes. May perpetual light shine upon him.

With Halloween being just around the corner, I have been thinking how fear and scary things have changed for me over the years. When I was young, it was about being away from my parents. As I grew up, things having to do with school (grades/papers that were due, will I fit in) were things that I feared. Fear became something of a reality when I saw how evil isn’t just about some pitch-forked demon or Freddy Krueger, but rather the fact that there are real life horrors (terrorism, torture, children who are hurt) that are scarier than any movie or imaginations. While away on pilgrimage last week, not even fearing living on a bus (24/7) with 34 others, or losing my iPhone, passport and money all in the same day (which really happened) had to have any control over me. Why is it that we give so much power to fear? Why do we let worries and the “not knowing” take away so much of our lives? What if all our imagined scariest things are telling us something more about ourselves than we want to admit: that we are too self-reliant, too worried about our weaknesses, too trained in thinking that we are caught up in everyone else’s expectations of who we are, instead of really wanting to trust that The Father’s grace is supposed to be sufficient enough for us, that we have only one identity that matters...that we are sacrificially and lovingly made in the image of God so we can become the Bridegroom’s beloved AND we have nothing to fear! There are no “lions and tigers and fears oh my” that can takes us away from His love. That is why we, as Catholic Christians, can enter into this week of Halloween and not only see the horrors, but know the Truth of what follow: All Saints Day and All Souls Day. All Saints points us to how Jesus leads the hearts of the faithful to living triumphant lives to lead to Heaven. Check the Mass schedule for two added Masses to conquer your fear this Wednesday (Nov 1) 9:00 a.m. with the day school and 6:30 p.m. All Souls Day reminds us that all souls are in the hand of God. Join us Thursday 6:30 p.m. for the annual candle lighting and reading of the names of those who have died during this past year. Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let Perpetual Light shine upon them. Alleluia! Fr. Bline How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses, who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.

Paix, Fr. Bline

All Saints, All Souls

In one Preface of the Eucharistic Prayers for a Funeral Mass the Church prays for the deceased: “Indeed for your faithful, Lord, life is changed not ended […]”. These brief words capture well our faith concerning the two great feast days of All Saints and All Souls. Life does continue for the deceased. That is the hope and, also, a point to remember while moving through our lives. When we pass from this life to the next we continue. We do not transform into an angel or into another version of ourselves. What we take with us is how we enter into the dramatic life change called “death”. It is not typical to speak so plainly about death. But, perhaps it is worth reflecting on through the course of these feast days. The saints were inclined to reflect upon The Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell. Oddly enough, the saints have asked us to ponder those Four Last Things. In a time when people start putting up Halloween decorations in September, it doesn’t seem too strange. People even go to scary movies to face realities that make our skin crawl. Facing these Four Last Things within a place of prayer before Jesus can actually help us put life into perspective. They challenge us to evaluate what are the important aspects of our lives, and what will help us become who we want to continue being after we pass from this life to the next. Because, that is just it, we will continue being who we are after we are laid to rest. We canonize saints not to give their lives a rubber stamp of approval, but because we realize that they were saints at the moment of their death. When a saint dies, it means that they passed from this life of sainthood on earth to that life of sainthood located in relation with God called Heaven. With this in mind, the “Judgment” thing makes a little more sense. Throughout the pilgrimage of our lives we are facing a unique type of judgment. How are we living now? What are our real priorities, often revealed not by what we say, but by how we concretely act? Are we sanctifying our lives today? These questions don’t need to instill fear and anxiety. That’s why I think it is so important to ponder them before our Lord Jesus in Adoration or in personal meditation. When we go before Jesus, it is then we can meet his merciful look of love towards us and see thing aright. The last of The Big Four - Heaven and Hell - can also be good food for our personal reflection. I don’t think anyone seriously desires to go to Hell. We all desire happiness and desire it for eternity. This is why when life gives us lemons; we often get a sour heart. Sin, darkness of soul and mind, betrayals, illness, disasters, and trauma (to name a few) are experiences of evil that clank and bang in our hearts. But, we need to be honest, too. We don’t always choose what we know to be better for us. We don’t always place ourselves in a position to change incorrect convictions that do not align with Church teaching or the Gospel. This is why we need Jesus and why Jesus gave us the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, and Eucharist. These Sacraments - along with the entire faith life of our Church - provide an adventure of continual renewal wherein Heaven can break forth into our lives today, now, in this time. We can, then, journey with our saintly friends (living and dead) towards Heaven. We can go deeper, always relying on the Mercy of God, first and foremost.

Peace and All Good, Fr. Bearer

Each year during the month of November we commemorate the memory of our loved ones who have gone before us to their eternal rest during the preceding year. The Consolation-Bereavement ministry of St. Francis de Sales Parish invite you to be part of the All Soul’s Day Mass on Thursday, November 2nd at 6:30 p.m. There will be a candle lighting ceremony following the homily when family members or a member of the ministry will light a candle for each of those departed loved ones. (Families: Please pick up candles 15 minutes prior to Mass). Following Mass, refreshments

will be served in the Upper Room. Assistance will be available for anyone needing a hand getting from the Church to the Upper Room. All parish members are welcome to come and remember those we have loved and lost. Questions may be directed to Jane at 330-896-8733.

Consider joining a small group study:

Upcoming Scripture Study: From Augustine Institute on FORMED:

Unveiling Scripture and Tradition

ADVENT “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,” or, at least that’s the assumption based on that familiar holiday song. But what does that look like at your house? Most of us anticipate the great sales at the mall on the day after Thanksgiving, string lights on the outside of our house, and decorating the inside of our homes. But how exactly are we preparing our hearts for the greatest gift we’ve ever been given? Through an exploration of the mystery of the Incarnation, the Virgin Birth, and the events surrounding the arrival of Jesus, this Advent study offers an opportunity to experience the joy of the true meaning of Christmas.

This is a four-week study on Tuesday evenings, beginning November 7th

at 7:15 in the VHM Room.

More information about this study is available on FORMED.ORG. Use Parish Code WY494W. Signups begin in the Narthex this weekend.

WOMEN OF FAITH

We will be assembling and mailing the first round of pizza boxes when we meet on Friday, November 3rd after the 6:30 Mass and Saturday, November 4th after the 8:15 Mass. All are welcome to help. Also, mark your calendars now for our annual Day of Reflection to be held on Saturday, December 2nd. More details will follow.

SOLEMN EXPOSITION OF

THE BLESSED SACRAMENT Friday, November 10th through

Sunday, November 12th

It is time once again to join together as a parish family to devote ourselves to the Adoration of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament – commonly known in our parish as Forty Hours. This year our Solemn Exposition will take place from Friday, November 10th with the opening Mass at 10:00 a.m., through closing Vespers with Benediction on Sunday, November 12th at 6:30 p.m.

Sign-up sheets for Holy Hours

will be in the Narthex this weekend.

This devotion, dating back as early as the eleventh century, is to draw us into a closer relationship with Christ and increase our desire to participate in the Mass, the Eucharistic Liturgy. During Eucharistic Devotions, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed on the altar in the monstrance, a sacred vessel for showing (monstare) the consecrated host.

“Could you not keep watch [with me] for one hour?” –

Mark 14:37

UPCOMING EVENTS:

11/1: Teen Scripture Night - VHM Room 7:15-8:30 (After All Saints Mass) 11/5: YG Night - Upper Room 7-9pm 11/8: Teen Scripture Night - VHM Room 6-7:30 11/9: XLT - Borromeo Seminary 7-9:30pm

RESPECT LIFE MEETING

Events coming are the March for Life bus trip to D.C. in January, helping the pregnancy centers, the Spiritual Adoption program, and any other discussion ideas you may have.

At this time of the year, Springtime of Hope is continually asked by our clients for a spare hoodie, coat or blanket to help them keep warm as the temperature drops. To assist SOH in serving God’s children, we ask you to consider donating a gently worn or new hoodie, coat, blanket, or sleeping bag. Bins will be located at the doors of the Church the weekend of November 4/5.

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS Gracious and loving God, we thank your for the gift of our priests. Through them, we experience Your presence in the sacraments. Help our priests to be strong in their vocation. Set their souls on fire with love for Your people. Grant them the wisdom, understanding, and strength they need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Inspire them with the vision of Your Kingdom. Give them the words they need to spread the Gospel. Allow them to experience joy in their ministry. Help them to become instruments of your Divine Grace. We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our Eternal Priest. Amen.
