LIFE EVERLASTING The second book of Maccabees tells a powerful story, and a rather gruesome one at that. But central to it, beyond the horrible deaths inflicted upon the brothers and their mother, is their belief in the promise of resurrection and life everlasting in God. Paul asks the Thessalonians to pray for him as he spreads Christ's message of love, so that he might be delivered from other nonbelievers anxious to do him harm. The apostle is confident in such prayer, just as he is confident in the everlasting support of Jesus and God the Father. And there's that "everlasting" word again. The Sadducees, not buying the idea, ask Jesus an interesting--albeit meaningless--question about the status of married life at the Resurrection. He tells the non-believers that marriage isn't an issue for the risen children of God. More importantly, he assures them that their ancestors do live on in God, even as evidenced by the Father's words to Moses. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Welcome A Message from Msgr. Joe At the beginning of this month in which we honor and remember our beloved dead, we encounter scriptures that inspire our faith in the resurrec on of the dead. In the face of the unspeakable horror related in the first reading, their faith in the life to come is remarkable. In the Gospel, Jesus affirms life a er death with unassailable logic. As we move through this month, let us pray for a deeper faith in the promise of eternal life, communion with God that begins not only at death, but in the rising from the bap smal font. A special word of thanks to all who contributed in making our Remembrance Mass on All Souls a powerful experience of hope in the Lord’s resurrection and companionship with those in mourning. A special word of appreciation to our Bereavement Ministry. Next Saturday, the children of our parish who are preparing for their First Holy Communion during the Easter Season next year will be celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. The Eucharist and reception of the Holy Communion is our participation in the sacrifice of Jesus to the Father for the forgiveness of our sins and separation from God. More than just being in a state of grace to receive communion, sacramental reconciliation surrounds us in the mercy of God that provides a foundational human experience leading to greater active participation in communion of God, self and others that is the fruit of Eucharist and deepening of baptismal life. As our children, nurtured in the love and faith of
their parents, approach this sacrament, let us remember them in prayer and be inspired by them to also seek sacramental forgiveness so that we can participate more fully in the grace of Eucharist. God bless and have a great week!
On Tuesday, Nov. 1, Pope Francis celebrated Holy Mass in Swedbank Stadium, Sweden. In his homily, the Holy Father explained that holiness is not made manifest in
great works, but rather in living day by day the requirements of our bap sm, and on the Solemnity of All Saints he remembered two Swedish saints: St. Maria Elisabeth Hesselblad, recently canonized, and St.
Bridget, Birgi a of Vadstena, co-patroness of Europe; both of them, he said, prayed and worked to forge bonds of unity and communion between Chris ans. He then went on to refer to one of the Bea tudes, the “iden ty card” of Chris ans, emphasizing the meekness that “enables us to set aside everything that divides and estranges us”. “Today, with the en re Church, we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints. In doing so, we remember not only those who have been
proclaimed saints through the ages, but also our many brothers and sisters who, in a quiet and unassuming way, lived their Chris an life in the fullness of faith and love. Surely among them are many of our rela ves, friends and acquaintances. “Ours, then, is a celebra on of holiness. A holiness that is seen not so much in great deeds and extraordinary events, but rather in
daily fidelity to the demands of our bap sm. A holiness that consists in the love of God and the love of our brothers and sisters. A love that remains faithful to the point of self-renuncia on and complete devo on to others. We think of the lives of all those mothers and fathers who sacrifice for their families and are prepared to forego – though it is not always easy – so many things, so many personal plans and projects. “Yet if there is one thing typical of the saints, it is that they are genuinely happy. They found the secret of authen c happiness, which lies deep within the soul and has its source in the love of God. That is why we call the saints blessed. “Dear brothers and sisters, the call to holiness is directed to everyone and must be received from the Lord in a spirit of faith. The saints spur us on by their lives and their intercession before God, and we ourselves need one another if we are to become saints. Helping one another to become saints. Together let us implore the grace to accept this call with joy and to join in bringing it to fulfilment. To our heavenly Mother, Queen of All Saints, we entrust our inten ons and the dialogue aimed at the full communion of all Chris ans, so that we may be blessed in our efforts and may a ain holiness in unity”.
Our Holy Father Speaks
Faith to Move Mountains On behalf of Bishop O’Connell, thank you to everyone in the parish who has already made a pledge to support the Faith to Move Mountains Campaign at St. Paul Parish. Your generosity and
enthusiasm have already helped us to raise approximately $1,038,367 (64%) toward our goal of $1,635,000 from 150 gifts (4% of parish registrations). As we continue to work towards our goal, we need each family in the parish to prayerfully consider a gift to the campaign. Through the participation of every member of the parish community, no matter the size of the gift, we will reach our goal! Even if you are unable to make a long term pledge a gift of any size is greatly appreciated. If you have not already made a commitment to the Campaign, please take the time to consider how you might be able to participate in this vital undertaking. Thank you all for your generosity to St. Paul Parish and the Diocese of Trenton.

Spiritual Direction Tending the sacred rela onship
Spiritual direc on is an on-going rela onship between a “directee” (person seeking) and a “director” (qualified person giving guidance) wherein a sacred space is created for the explora on and deepening of the spiritual life. Through conversa on and reflec on, the directee becomes more a uned to God's presence and can respond more fully to the Divine as it is revealed in all areas of life. Direc on typically takes place in a confiden al one-on-one se ng and may include some form of prayer experience to increase awareness of the movement of the Spirit in the directee’s life. If you are interested in more informa on, please contact Jennifer Hinton at [email protected] or 609-558-0985 (cell) or Teresa Knipper at 609-558-0582(cell) or [email protected]. Teresa is available for appointments during the day.

For us men and for our salva on he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pon us Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

Faith Formation A Message from John Michael McGuire As a Church we live as community, and every aspect of our faith life reflects the fact that we are united. The sacraments aren’t an exception. The three Sacraments of Initiation, Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist bring us into the community, empower us with the grace of the Holy Spirit, and bond us more deeply into the body of Christ. Next Saturday many of our children will be receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. This is a good opportunity to consider this sacrament of healing. A mistaken concept is that Christians believe that God is angry with us when we sin, and that we incur his wrath. The truth of the matter is that our loving Father never turns his back on us, even when we sin and disappoint God in our selfishness. Like Adam and Eve we are ashamed in our “nakedness” and we hide from him and his grace. The longer we take to admit to our failure and ask for forgiveness the harder it becomes to return, even though all that God really wants is us to return to him, no matter how unforgiveable we feel the wrong we have committed is. Further in confessing our sins we are reconciled with our community, the Church. As we become trapped in our sinfulness we tend to distance ourselves from our community. We all sinners, but cling to an imagine that the Church is a place only for saints reinforcing that we
do not belong. This is why I believe we have ritual and sacramental Confession instead of simply praying to God and asking for forgiveness in private. The priest is a representative of Christ, and of the community he shepherds. When we hear the words “you are forgiven” it comes from Christ and his Mystical Body the Church. It becomes a welcoming reestablishing our relationship with our God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and the Church, our community. As our children prepare to experience this sacrament for the first me, let us pray that they and we all can acknowledge this Sacrament of Reconciliation as a healing of relationships with God, self and one another. Please pray for our children and their parents as they prepare to walk more intentionally on a life long journey of faith in the community of the Church.
Sacrament Policy Reminder It is expected that children begin preparing for the Sacrament of First Reconciliation/First Holy Communion in first grade, and that young people begin preparing for
Confirmation during their seventh grade year. This policy allows for a child to receive an adequate amount of preparation and catechesis in order to experience and understand the sacrament they will be celebrating.
Children in Catholic Schools If your child attends a Catholic School other than St. Paul School please contact the Parish Office of Religious Education to be sure they are enrolled in any upcoming sacrament preparation.

Next Session: October Credo In this session, we talked about the existence of God and the implica on this has on our lives. Teenagers will likely have a discussion with someone who does not believe in God or who challenges their belief in God at some me during high school. This a ernoon, we began to give Candidates some prac cal reasons why there is a Creator and that Creator is God. We also challenged them to make an important dis nc on; we challenged them to ask if they just believed there was a God or if they believed in God. Belief in God requires trust and self-surrender, whereas belief that there is a God doesn't necessarily require our response. Teens discussed how they lived their lives currently and struggles they faced with living a life trus ng completely in God. The ques on of how fully we believe in God is an important one and is worthy of further discussion a er this session. Some ques ons you can use to con nue the conversa on with your Candidate are: Have you ever been in a discussion with someone about the existence of God? What happened? If someone were to ask you why you believed in God, what would you tell him or her (This is a great me to share reasons why you believe in God and some of your faith experiences with your son or daughter.) Why? In the later por on of the day, we discussed the rela onship our faith has to the Sacrament of Bap sm. If you had your son or daughter bap zed as an infant, chances are good that they do not

remember this important sacrament. Bap sm is our gateway to life in Christ, and it plants the seed of faith within us. Take
me this week to talk with your teenager about his or her Bap sm. Talk about the day, the people who were there, the priest who bap zed them, and the church they were bap zed in. Give details so they can visualize this significant event in their life. If there are pictures from their Bap sm, use this as an opportunity to show him or her pictures from the day. Most importantly, take me to discuss with your son or daughter why you chose to have them bap zed and how you chose his or her Godparents. Don’t underes mate how powerful it can be for your teenager to hear this story; your witness of faith will speak volumes.

Celebración a María de Guadalupe: Este ano las MANANITAS serán el 11 de Diciembre después de nuestra Misa Dominical. Empezaremos con refrescos en los bajos de la Iglesia y después hacia las 9:00pm subiremos para tener un momento espiritual en la Iglesia hasta las 10:45pm.
Pastoral Hispana Mensaje del Padre Miguel Valle El evangelio, al acercarnos al final del ano litúrgico, nos lleva a pensar en el mas allá; nos ofrece una idea general de la vida futura; mas que decirnos claramente “como” será esta vida, se limita a afirmar el hecho de que la vida después de la muerte es algo cierto y real. Los saduceos, judíos que no creían en la resurrección de los muertos, hicieron su ridículo e insidiosa pregunta a Jesús, no porque esperaban o deseaban una respuesta, sino porque querían que Jesús mostrara su ignorancia ante un problema que para ellos no tenia respuesta. Jesús los confundió con su sabiduría divina. Hasta ahora, algunas personas que no creen o que pertenecen a otras Iglesias, hacen preguntas a los católicos sencillos, no porque desean aprender de ellos o saber lo que ellos creen; hacen preguntas para ver si pueden confundir o poner en ridículo a las personas que creen. El evangelio de este domingo, mas que de la resurrección de los muertos, habla de la supervivencia de los vivos. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob siguen viviendo en Dios y con Dios. En este mundo vivimos en Dios y con Dios, en medio de las distracciones de la vida. Después de la muerte Dios será nuestro único punto de referencia; viviremos con El para siempre, sin ninguna clase de distracción. El “Dios de Abraham, Isaac y Jacob” es el Dios del Éxodo que hablo a Moisés, el Dios de la vida, el que escucho el clamor del pueblo oprimido y lo libero de la esclavitud de Egipto, es el Dios que nos da vida y que nos pide que demos vida a los demás, comenzando por los pobres y oprimidos. Por la muerte nos unimos a una comunidad divina, defini va y eterna a la que estamos llamados todos, y de la que ya formamos parte por la Comunión de los Santos. Como se nos recuerda en la liturgia de los funerales, al morir cambiamos de morada; pasamos a vivir en la Jerusalén Celes al. Al morir dejamos aquí
nuestro cuerpo, nuestra “barca”, con ella hemos navegado por la vida, a veces en medio de borrascas y tempestades, y la dejamos al morir para ir a otro mar, al mar de la eternidad con Jesús
