James Kurtz, OFM Cap. can be reached by email at kurtzwv@gmail.com To make an appointment for personal business please contact him at 304-342-2716 x 406 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2014 All Saints and All Souls All Saints Day, which is on Saturday, November 1, is a Holy Day, but, since it is on Saturday this year, it is not a day that we are obliged to attend Mass. There will be an All Saints Day Mass at 8:00 AM at St. Anthony’s. All Soul’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday, November 2, starting with the November 1 Saturday evening Vigil Mass. During the month of November, we remember and pray for all the faithful departed, those holy souls who are being purified and made ready for heaven. The candles with the names of our loved ones will burn in our Church during the month of November, starting next Sunday, All Souls Day. Take an envelope and write the names of those you want to be remembered on it, place your offering in it, and drop it in the basket this week or next week. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church we read: “All who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo a purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven. The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned.” (10301031) “By virtue of the ‘communion of saints,’ the Church commends the dead to God’s mercy and offers her prayers, especially the Holy Sacrifice of the Eucharist, on their behalf.” (1055) - Fr. Jim "If faith is to be strong and healthy, it must be constantly nourished by the Word of God." ー Pope Francis Please remember in your prayers † Barbara Carey, Francis Nagoda, Jr., Catherine Layne Fugere, Vincent Smolder, James White, Dolores Conner, Sue Murin, Maria O’Dell, Bernice Endres, Kathleen Wise, Audra Kushner Mary Canterbury, Stephanie Merenda, Connie Vaughan, Richard Diggs, Virginia Hederi Evans, Mary Hanson, Joyce Vickers, David Dodd, Joe & Nazira Joseph, Teresa Campbell, Rose Corey, Regina Richardson, Carmen Lopera, Jackie Canterbury, Barbara Carey, Pauline Wyatt, Alan Cottrill XXX SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Music for Liturgy Entrance: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling — #478 Gloria: Mass of Healing—sheet music Offertory: Ave Maria Communion: I Have Loved You — #611 Recessional: O Bless the Lord, My Soul — #540 Lorie’s Music Notes On this final Sunday in October, we will have one more Marian song: the Ave Maria. It seems a good way to end this month celebrating the Holy Rosary. In the gospel reading today, we hear Jesus say that the most important commandment is the first: "You shall love the Lord your God..." The second most important is "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." These words led to the selection of our songs about love today.
