All Saints November 1, 2015 See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. 1 John 3:1 TODAY S READINGS First Reading John s vision of a vast throng from every nation and people, whose robes had been made white in the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14). Psalm Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face (Psalm 24). Second Reading By God s love, we may be called God s children (1 John 3:1-3). Gospel The Beatitudes: your reward will be great in heaven (Matthew 5:1-12a). WE LONG TO SEE GOD S FACE Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face. This antiphon for today s responsorial psalm offers the focus for today s readings. As we on earth celebrate the triumph of all the saints the ones officially canonized by the Church, and the countless others who have also reached heaven we add nothing to their glory. But we give ourselves reason to hope. We too long to see the face of God and believe that we can one day be counted among those whose robes, as John tells us in the book of Revelation, are washed white in the blood of the Lamb. The passage from John s First Letter offers further assurance: we are God s children who will one day see God. But today s Gospel pulls us past longing and reassurance into action. Jesus clearly tells us what we must do to be counted among the saints. We must be poor in spirit, hungry for holiness, merciful, single-hearted, and peacemakers! Then we too will see the face of God.

By then, penance was normally a very secret rite, celebrated completely apart from the community. Public penance had mostly disappeared behind the walls of monasteries and the cloister grills of convents. The scholastics trimmed penance down to bare essentials, even sweeping aside age old traditions like a laying on of hands and prayers of absolution. All that was left was the confessor s simple statement, Ego te absolvo, I absolve you. In 1614 a new ritual book tried to make penance more public and solemn. It suggested, but did not require, that the priest wear a surplice and stole, and hear the confession in a confessional. For the first time, we have the directive that the priest be separated from the penitent by a screen, a rule that some bishops applied very strictly. By the 1940s, large numbers of Catholics availed themselves of the sacrament of confession every Saturday, and most people thought confession was a prerequisite for Communion. In some urban parish churches, confessionals were staffed, usually by the junior priest, for several hours every day, even during the celebration of Mass. It is remarkable how quickly things changed, but as we have seen, the system has collapsed before and what often comes next is an impulse of the Spirit, new life, and a fresh start.
