3 MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR Remembrance Day is celebrated in Canada on November 11th. The Canadian Bishops offer us three aspects to this special day to ponder and to act on: First, we pause and pray to remember those who died in war and to pray for the victims of aggression and inhumanity around the world. Second, Remembrance Day is a special day to pray for peace. We should consider what we are doing as individuals, as families, as faith communities and as a nation to bring God s peace to the world. The peace Jesus promises comes from an inner conversion of the human heart rather than from an imposed external order (like the temporary forced order brought by the Roman emperors and modern equivalents such as dictators and tyrants). Third, we can make this a special time to rededicate ourselves by prayer and action to the ideals Jesus gave us in the Beatitudes. Ask God to show you what He wants you to do to promote peace and justice with others. It could be some special prayers, fasting or generous action of service. - Fr. Galvon ARCHDIOCESAN PRAYER FOR THE JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY All merciful Father, through the reconciling love of your Son and the healing power of the Holy Spirit, fill us with the richness of your mercy. Grant that each family, the domestic church of the home, be a privileged place of comfort and healing where your mercy is handed down from generation to generation. May husbands and wives convey forgiveness and love, as sacramental witnesses to the extravagant mercy of the Cross. May parents embrace their role as primary teachers in the school of mercy, and may brothers and sisters bear each other s burdens and weaknesses with gentle compassion. May each parish, the family of families, be a place where works of mercy are lived, compassion is freely given, and welcoming arms await all seeking forgiveness on their journey of reconciliation. Through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy Incarnate, grant that we may be missionary disciples, who bear to the whole human family the transforming light of your Gospel of Mercy. Amen. 3

5 M I N I S T E R I O H I S P A N O Misa en Español: Domingos a las 6:30 PM Confesiones en Español: Mier, Jue y Vier 11:45 AM y 4:45 PM. Pregunta por el Padre Federico Buttner, nuestro capellán. Rosario en Español: Domingos 6:05 PM. Exposición del Santísimo: Primer sábado de cada mes, 6:30 PM. Jesús resucitado te espera! Escríbenos a nuestro comunidadhispanahrc@gmail.com SERÁN COMO LOS ÁNGELES Parece ser una respuesta insuficiente, ya que es muy poco lo que sabemos sobre la naturaleza de los ángeles y sobre su manera de vivir felices ante Dios. Pero de una cosa no se puede dudar: el hecho de su felicidad. El Cómo? escapa y excede a nuestras experiencias y conceptos. De la revelación de Jesús se deduce con certeza que poseeremos allí vida en plenitud que no poseemos aquí. Los que tienen mayor curiosidad por saber, se sentirán tal vez defraudados. Pero El Señor no responde a los curiosos sino a los sinceros. FIESTA DE TODOS LOS SANTOS En el mes de Noviembre la Iglesia hace especial hincapié a aquellas personas que han pasado de esta vida a la próxima. El 1ro. de Nov. leemos en la primera lectura que ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil se salvarán. En la Biblia los números contienen mensajes. En este caso este número significa plenitud y se obtiene de multiplicar 12 tribus por 12 apóstoles más tres ceros. Como leemos en el siguiente versículo que nos indica que eran individuos de todas las naciones y razas, de todos los pueblos y lenguas y que: ``La salvación viene de nuestro Dios, que está sentado en el trono, y del Cordero. ESPERO VER LA BONDAD DEL SEÑOR La pérdida de nuestros seres queridos significa para nosotros mucho dolor y lágrimas. Sin embargo nuestra fe nos asegura que ellos están bien y que la muerte es una separación temporal. Así lo expresa claramente el libro de la Sabiduría: Las almas de los justos están en las manos de Dios y ningún tormento podrá alcanzarlos (3,1). Cuál es pues nuestra labor mientras estamos en esta vida? El procurar ser justos!
