Each year during the month of November the Church’s liturgy and popular devotion turn our attention to the Four Last Things: death, judgment, heaven and hell. This is no morbid fascination, but a sober reminder of the transitory nature of this world and an annual call to Christian hope. We begin the month celebrating the saints in glory on the Solemnity of All Saints. On Nov. 2, we observe the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls Day) and later in the month, on the last Sunday of the liturgical year, we celebrate the triumphant Solemnity of Christ the King. Though we may rarely ponder these realities, they are inescapable for each of us. Trying to live in denial of them is impossible and it only shrouds our live in a dark shadow. However, on the contrary, the traditions of November remind us of the eternal destiny of joy that God has prepared for us in Christ and the eternal conse-quences of turning our back on God’s love. St. John of the Cross wrote, “In the evening of our life, we shall be judged on our love.” Perfect love will make possible our immediate en-trance into heaven. Imperfect love will require purification. The ultimate rejection of divine love will mean eter-nal separation from God. God has made us for heaven, where we will enjoy the perfect fulfillment of all human longing in supreme and eternal happiness. We are called to this blessedness. We are summoned to be saints. We cannot even begin to imagine the joy God has prepared for us in heaven. The bible uses images such as a wedding banquet to offer us a glimpse of the joy and happiness of heaven. We know that in heaven we will enjoy perfect communion in love with the most Holy Trinity and all of the an-gels and saints. Jesus has opened the gates of heaven for us by his death for our sins and his resurrection from the dead. To assist us in focusing our sights on this joyful end and in our prayer that loved ones reach it along with us, the Church has gathered various traditions into the month of November and into early Advent of December. Here are some that we have scheduled at St. Matthew’s this year. All Soul’s Offertory Envelopes: Beginning this weekend and throughout the month of November, the faithful are invited to write the names of our beloved dead and place them in the box provided near the pulpit. These individu-als will be included in the prayers of the parish throughout the month.
The Names of Those Who Have Died in the Past Year: A scroll with the names of those who were buried from St. Matthew’s Church during the past 12 months will solemnly be placed at the Baptismal Font, where we are re-minded of St. Paul’s words: “We were indeed buried with Christ through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life” (Romans 6:4)
All Saints Day: November 1 (A holy day of obligation): Friday, November 1st. at 6:30am, 8:15am, 12:05pm and 6:00pm in English and 7:30pm in Spanish.
All Souls Day: Saturday November 2 (Not a holy day of obligation): 12:05pm Mass and Reception for the Families of Those Who Died during the Past 12 Months:

Queridos Parroquianos de St. Matthew,
Cada año durante el mes de noviembre, la liturgia y la devoción popular de la Iglesia dirigen nuestra atención a las Cuatro Ultimas Cosas: la muerte, el juicio, el cielo y el infierno. Esta no es una fascinación mórbida, sino un sobrio recordatorio de la naturaleza transitoria de este mundo y un llamado anual a la esperanza Cristiana. Comenzamos el mes celebrando a los santos en gloria en la solemnidad de todos los santos (1ero. de noviembre) El 2 de noviembre, observamos la Conmemoración de Todos los Fieles Difuntos y más tarde en el mes, el último domingo del año litúrgico, celebramos la solemnidad triunfante de Cristo Rey. Aunque rara vez podemos ponderar estas realidades, son ineludibles para cada uno de nosotros. Intentar vivir en la negación de ellos es imposible y solo envuelve nuestra vida en una sombra oscura. Sin embargo, por el contrario, las tradiciones de noviembre nos recuerdan el destino eterno de la alegría que Dios nos ha preparado en Cristo y las consecuencias eternas de volver la espalda al amor de Dios. San Juan de la Cruz escribió: "En la tarde de nuestra vida, seremos juzgados por nuestro amor". El amor perfecto hará posible nuestra entrada inmediata al cielo. El amor imperfecto requerirá purificación. El último rechazo del amor divino significará la separación eterna de Dios. Dios nos ha hecho para el cielo, donde disfrutaremos el cumplimiento perfecto de todo anhelo humano en la felicidad suprema y eterna. Estamos llamados a esta bendición. Estamos llamados a ser santos. No podemos ni siquiera comenzar a imaginar la alegría que Dios nos ha preparado en el cielo. La Biblia usa imágenes como un banquete de bodas para ofrecernos un vistazo de la alegría y la felicidad del cielo. Sabemos que en el cielo disfrutaremos de una comunión perfecta en amor con la Santísima Trinidad y todos los ángeles y santos. Jesús ha abierto las puertas del cielo para nosotros por su muerte por nuestros pecados y su resurrección de entre los muertos. Para ayudarnos a centrar nuestras miras en este final feliz y en nuestra oración de que los seres queridos lleguen junto con nosotros, la Iglesia ha reunido varias tradiciones en el mes de noviembre y hasta el comienzo de la llegada de diciembre. Aquí tenemos lo que programamos en St. Matthew este año.
Sobres de ofrendas de Todas las Almas: A partir de este fin de semana y durante todo el mes de noviembre, los fieles están invitados a escribir los nombres de sus seres queridos ya fallecidos en el sobre y depositarlo en el buzón que está ubicado en el Santuario. Ellos serán incluidas en las oraciones de la parroquia a lo largo del mes.
Nombres de los que murieron en el último año: un rollo con los nombres de los feligreses de St. Matthew que murieron en los últimos 12 meses se colocará solemnemente en la fuente bautismal, donde nos recuerdan las palabras de San Pablo : "Por este bautismo en su muerte fuimos sepultados con Cristo, y así como Cristo fue resucitado de entre los muertos por la Gloria del Padre, así también nosotros empezamos una nueva vida" (Romanos 6: 4)
Día de Todos los Santos: 1 de noviembre (Un día de obligación): Misas del Viernes, 1 de noviembre a las 6:30 a.m., 8:15 a.m. 12:05 p.m. y 6:00pm en inglés y a las 7:30 p.m. en español.
Día de Todos los Fieles Difuntos: 2 de noviembre (No es un día de obligación): Misa y recepción para las familias de los que murieron durante los últimos 12 meses: sábado 2 de noviembre a las 12:05 p. M.
