The Final Word: Hope
In November, the liturgies of the Church focus on death: the
deaths of loved ones, saints and martyrs, as well as our own. The
feasts of All Saints and All Souls are two traditional feasts of the
Roman Catholic Church. As early as the Fourth century the
eastern Greek Church celebrated the lives of the martyrs. It wasn’t
until 844 AD that Gregory the 4th set the First of November--a
date closely associated with harvest feasts in Ireland and Britain-as the feast for the western Church to commemorate all martyrs.
By the 14th Century a celebration remembering all the faithfully
departed was widespread throughout the religious orders. These
feasts confront the reality of death, loss, and pain, along with the
promise of life with the risen Christ.
Our culture today goes to great lengths to avoid thinking about
death. Conversations about end of life issues, the making of wills,
the selection of burial plots are shunned. Cosmetics and
pharmaceuticals perpetuate youth, enhancing longevity and
virility, offering the hope of evading death. Even our language
about death is plagued by euphemisms. We speak of “ passing
away,” “going home,” “hearing the call,” or “going to heaven.”
Death it seems is too harsh a word to speak--unrelenting, cold and
final without release.
Interestingly, neither Jesus nor St. Paul ever shied away from
using the word “death” or referring to the dead. Both speak of
those who have “ fallen asleep” in Christ but for St. Paul, such a
phrase usually comes on the heels of announcing that we have all
died in Christ through our shared baptism. Paul is ever quick to
proclaim that death, though real and powerful, does not have any
power in the wake of Jesus' own death and resurrection. The
courage to stare down this sorrow is drawn from the depths of our
relationship with Jesus. To know Jesus is to know the truth about
death--it has been deflated, robbed of its power, it is forever and
utterly destroyed.
These days death seems lurking around every corner. The
horrific acts of murder by terrorists, armed conflicts in Ukraine,
war in many parts of the world, brutality against women and girls,
and now the rising threat of the virus Ebola--death has a
magnified presence that even our culture of denial cannot avoid.
It is now that we followers of Jesus are needed. We are called
to be witnesses of hope. We have something to offer a weary
world. We have a hope to offer that is not a band-aid or a
palliative to anesthetize those living with great sorrow, loss and
pain. The hope we possess is good news, a hope that does not
disappoint. We are bound to share this with creation. As a
community living the Resurrection we face death squarely,
acknowledging the depth of sorrow and the ravages it brings. Still,
we trust in the revelation of Christ lived through the communion
of saints, the holy martyrs and all the faithful gone before us, that
death does not have the final word. We know we have a future, a
fullness of life and await a face-to-face encounter with Him who
loves us through death to life.
In this month of November take time to call to mind loved ones
who have died. Remember their gifts, savor the affection they
brought to life, trust that they dwell before the face of God in
peace. During this month may we thank God for the gifts of his
love and our lives. May he give us the grace to prepare each day
for our own death--and our eternal life with him.

Stewardship
OFFERTORY/OFERT ORIO
Stewardship Reflection
October 25 & 26 - $22,157.52
All Souls Day on Nov. 2 is a day
when we pray for deceased souls.
These prayers may be general in
nature or they may involve specific
members of our families and our
faith communities, including perhaps
physically visiting the graves of our
family members.
On All Saints Day, we acknowledge
the presence of those who have
departed this life. Today, we
recognize and honor them to an
even greater extent. To practice stewardship completely
we need to be aware of our personal families and our faith
families. Just prior to today’s Gospel reading Jesus
reminds us that “I am the bread of life.” Seven times in
Holy Scripture, Jesus states, “I am…” followed by various
statements which allow us to grasp more fully what He is
and what He has done for us.
Bread is considered one of those essentials “for life.” Jesus
is reminding us that He is essential for life, for eternal life.
Jesus is not speaking of the physical life on this earth, but
about “eternal life.” It is that hope which allows us to trust in
Him by living stewardship. This past June at Mass, Pope
Francis said, “He Himself is the living bread that gives life
to the world.” Let us embrace that hope.
Thank you for your continued generosity!
Gracias por tu generosidad.
