Dear Friends, As we move into the month of November, the leaves already are changing color, and many have already fallen from the trees. It’s a season during which we reflect on loss and dying—we see it in nature, and we also see where it happens in our own lives. Because of Christ’s entry into our world, death does not overwhelm us as Christians—for we believe it does not have the final word! Christ’s resurrection offers us the hope of life everlasting—the promise of heaven. Life has the final word—life in Christ. This week has special days to remind us to reflect on our lives in relationship to eternity! Today is the Feast of All Saints (November 1st), when the Church honors all saints, both known and unknown, who are gathered together in Heaven, united in their praise of God! This is our call, our destiny as well. All Souls Day (November 2nd) is the Church’s annual invitation to reflect on the mystery in-volved in dying and letting go, as well as the hope we have to live forever! In a special way we pause on All Souls Day to remember our loved ones who have died—and we are given great reassurance that they are alive in the Spirit, and that we have hope to meet them again. Finally, please pray, discern and do not forget to vote this Tuesday, November 3rd. Peace and blessings, Father Tom ++++ Queridos amigos, Al empezar el mes de noviembre, las hojas de los árboles ya están cambiando de color y muchas ya se han caído. Es una temporada durante la cual reflexionamos sobre la pérdida y la muerte; lo vemos en la naturaleza y también lo vemos en nuestras propias vidas. Debido a la venida de Cristo a nuestro mundo, como cristianos, la muerte no nos abruma, ¡porque cree-mos que ella no tiene la última palabra! La resurrección de Cristo nos ofrece la esperanza de vida eterna: la promesa del cielo. La vida tiene la última palabra: vida en Cristo. ¡Esta semana tiene días especiales para ayudarnos a reflexionar sobre nuestras vidas en relación con la eternidad! ¡Hoy es la Fiesta de Todos los Santos (1ro de noviembre), cuando la Iglesia honra a todos los santos, conocidos y desconocidos, que están reunidos en el cielo, unidos en su alabanza a Dios! Este es nuestro llamado, nuestro destino también. El Día de los Difuntos (2 de noviembre) es la invitación anual de la iglesia a reflexionar sobre el misterio que implica morir, despedirse y dejar ir, ¡así como la esperan-za que tenemos de vivir para siempre! De manera especial, hacemos una pausa en el Día de los Santos Difuntos para recordar a nuestros seres queridos que han muerto—y nos da un gran alivio el saber que están vivos en el Espíritu y tenemos la esperanza de volver a encontrarlos de nuevo. Finalmente, les pido que recen, disciernan y no se olviden de votar este martes 3 de noviembre. Paz y bendiciones, Padre Tom

Faithful Citizenship— Ciudadanos Fieles

"In the Catholic Tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation," according to the U.S. Catholic bishops (Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, No. 13). We urge all eligible parishioners to participate in the election next Tuesday. The insights of the Scriptures and Catholic social teaching are important guides for our decisions about issues and candi-dates. We urge you to become informed about the issues and how Catholic teaching guides us, and to examine the positions of candidates in light of Catholic teaching. If you would like information about Catholic teaching on our civic responsibilities, please visit www.faithfulcitizenship.org

"En la tradición católica, el ser ciudadano fiel es una virtud; la participación en el proceso político es una obligación moral", según nos dicen los obispos católicos de Estados Unidos (Formando la concien-cia para ser ciudadanos fieles, no. 13). Exhortamos a todos los feligreses calificados a que participen en las elecciones el próximo martes. Las Escrituras y la enseñanza social católica son unas guías im-portantes para nuestras decisiones sobre los asuntos y los candidatos. Los exhortamos a que se infor-men bien sobre los asuntos y cómo nos guía la enseñanza católica, y a analizar las posiciones de los candidatos a la luz de la enseñanza católica. Si desean mayor información sobre la enseñanza católica respecto a nuestras responsabilidades cívicas, visiten www.ciudadanosfieles.org

sonas.
