The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed
Walk By Faith
While it may be cliché to say it is hard to believe that it is the beginning of November, the
leaves still holding onto their places on the trees, and most of them still green, it feels more like the
beginning of the Fall, than its ending. Maybe that is why it does not seem to be the time for remembering the dead, since the world seems so full of life. Now that Halloween is over, and we have come
together to celebrate the Feast days of All Saints and All Souls this weekend, it seems appropriate in a
way that the outside world would point to the joy of life, since we believe that our physical deaths are
not the end, but only a step through the veil.
There have been three significant deaths for me this year, beginning in March with Fr. Ed’s
passing. Unfortunately, I only had a limited time to live with Msgr. Donnelly, less than a year,
although I had known him since my time as a deacon here at Holy Name, and had the pleasure of
talking with him at many diocesan events, before returning here last year. The conversations we had
were interesting, informative and joyful; the last part being the great lesson that I learned from Fr. Ed,
how to continue being joyful in Christ, even in the face of the world’s insanity.
In August, my friend Kathleen died. Once again, I learned a lot from her over the years, but
the friendship that we shared was the greatest gift we could give to each other.
Finally, on Friday before this past, one of the great characters of the Catholic Church went
home to God; Msgr. Lorenzo Albacete, a great priest, a brilliant mind, someone who loved living, and
a mentor to myself and numerous others, finally succumbed to his illnesses. At his Mass of transferal,
at St. Mary’s in Manhattan, Fr. Rich Veras reminded us of Msgr. Albacete’s desire for God and his
desire to have everything about ourselves redeemed by the promise of Christ, using pizza as an
example. Recalling a theological discussion Albacete was having with someone on the beatific vision,
Albacete said, “But what if I want pizza?” The response was that the essence of the pizza would be
caught up in the Glory of God, that the essence of what makes the pizza good would be present in the
encounter with the infinite. Monsignor’s response was, “But what if I want the essence of the pizza in
the pizza?” The Beatific Vision, envisioned by this Physicist turned priest, consisted of the redemption
of everything that exists, even though the redemption of pizza as pizza is only an example, the reality
of the promise of the Resurrection is the redemption of every part of the self. Every part of my person,
my personality, everything that makes me who I am is redeemed by God; it is not my essence that
floats around the Infinite, like some billowy smoke pouring out of God’s presence, it will be my whole
person, transformed in the light of the Resurrection.
So as I celebrate these days of remembrance, in their spectacularly vibrant and alive essence, I
remember three friends, and many other friends and loved ones who have gone before me, I call to
mind the memories I have of them. Conversations and shared jokes, music playing in the houses at
night and the sound of waterfalls in the daytime, the look of amusement on the face of a loving
genius as he waits for you to understand something so close at hand. While I have the memories of
times spent together, and even the writings of one of the great minds of our age, I look forward to the
day when I will see these friends again. Not as some abstract essence of their former selves, not as the
Buddhists and Brahmin believe, as parts of the great whole of the Cosmos, but as they truly are,
beautifully whole and entire, and redeemed by God the Father, through the Resurrection of His Son.
Pax, Fr. Henry

The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed
The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed – November 2, 2014
Today we call to mind those souls who have died. As far back as the 6 th century we have offered prayer, good
works and Masses to help these souls atone for past sins and transgressions which deprive them of the Beatific Vision.
Today we ask in the Mass' Collects that God “Listen kindly to our prayer, and…look mercifully on your departed
servants…with the mortality of this life overcome, they may gaze eternally on you, their Creator and Redeemer”. The
Collect prayer is not just a call for us to remember the departed but reminds us of our own mortality and need for prayer.
In our first reading Wisdom’s author writes how the souls of the just were tried in the furnace of life’s struggles
and sufferings and with God’s grace will lead to opportunities for building virtue, integrity, and a stronger life of faith.
It tells us that “those who trust in God shall understand truth, and the faithful shall abide in his love: because grace and
mercy are with his holy ones” (Wis 3:9). Calling to mind those who have gone before us marked by the sign of water and
the Spirit in baptism and nourished by the Body and Blood of Wisdom itself will come to understand that “his care is with
his elect” (Wis 3.9).
Our second reading from St Paul’s letter to the church at Rome is a powerful exposition of the doctrine of the
supremacy of Christ and our faith in Him as our source of salvation. This does not mean that Christians are free from any
responsibility to serve our neighbors. Instead St Paul writes that “we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized
into his death…so if we have grown in union with him through a death like his, we shall also be united with him in a
resurrection like his” (Rom 6:3,5). St Paul is conveying to the Romans that we died twice and are born twice. We are born
in the natural order and died in the waters of baptism and then we died in the natural order and “by the glory of the Father,
we too might live in newness of life” (Rom 6:4). This promise of salvation awaits all souls that include good works and
a faith grounded in Christ.
The Gospel of John for All Souls’ Day tells us that Jesus, “will not reject anyone the Father gives me…but that
I should raise it on the last day”(Jn 6:37, 39). The Father sends Jesus as a visible sign of his love, to feed us as the “bread
of life come down from heaven” (Jn6:38) with his wisdom, teaching and healing. He also says, that it is “the will of my
Father, that everyone who sees and believes in the Son…I shall raise him on the last day” (Jn6:40). The souls for whom
we pray for this Sunday and everyday share an extraordinary promise from God. Jesus who came to do the will of the
Father shares His baptism with us, invites us to His Eucharistic celebration, ask us to pray as He did and to imitate Him in
doing good works. So we ask Jesus to intercede for us that through the mercy of God the souls of all the faithfully
departed shall rest in peace. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
Deacon Richard Raad
Something good is cooking at Holy Name of Mary!
Love to bake?
Love to share?
This may be for you.
The people who receive food every month from Parish Outreach-St. Vincent DePaul Society are ever so
grateful for the home baked cookies donated by our parishioners every Thanksgiving, Christmas and
Easter. Many of those recipients cannot bake for themselves. In order to extend, this much appreciated
act of personal generosity throughout the year, a parish group was formed.
The devoted members of the “Bakers Bunch” have been supplying the Parish food pantry with home
baked goods throughout the year. Participation in this team involves baking a simple item at your
own pace---once a month, once every two months, twice a month----whatever fits your schedule.
Items may be cookies, muffins, bundt/loaf cake, quick bread, any item that does not need refrigeration.
There are 95 families who receive some food every month so any contribution would help. Groups are
also invited to participate. If you are interested or would like more information please call Felicia Lotti
at 516-812-9110. You may also fill out the information below and return it to Parish Outreach.

MINISTERIO
HISPANO
Fr. Fernando Echeverri

CONMEMORACIÓN DE LOS FIELES
DIFUNTOS.
Esta fiesta responde a una larga tradición de fe
en la Iglesia: orar por aquellos fieles que han
acabado su vida terrena y que se encuentran
aún en estado de purificación en el purgatorio.
El catecismo también nos recuerda que los que
mueren en la gracia y Amistad de Dios pero no
perfectamente purificados, pasan después de su
muerte por un proceso de purificación para
obtener la completa hermosura de su alma.
En este día dice el Martirologio Romano:
La conmemoración de todos los fieles difuntos,
en la cual nuestra común y piadosa Madre la
Iglesia, después de haber honrado con amor y
dignidad a sus hijos, que tiene ya gozando en el
cielo, se esfuerza por ayudar con poderosos
sufragios cerca de Cristo su Esposo, a todos los
que gimen en el purgatorio; a fin de que cuanto
antes se sumen a la milicia de los moradores de
la ciudad celestial.
En ninguna parte como aquí anuncia la
Liturgia de una manera tan explícita la misteriosa conjunción que estrecha a la Iglesia
triunfante con la militante y la purgante, y
nunca tampoco aparece más claro el doble
deber de caridad y de justicia que fluye naturalmente de su misma incorporación al cuerpo
místico de Cristo. sabemos que en virtud del
dogma de fe de la comunión de los fieles
difuntos, los méritos y sufragios de los unos
vienen a ser también de los demás, en virtud de
una comunidad de bienes espirituales,
de manera que sin mermar los derechos de la
divina justicia que con todo rigor se nos
aplicará al final de nuestra vidas, la Iglesia
puede unir aquí su oración con la del cielo, y
Suplicar por lo que falta a las almas del purgatorio
ofreciendo a Dios por ellas, mediante la Santa Misa,
las indulgencias, los sacrificios de sus hijos y los
méritos sobrenaturales de la Pasión de Cristo. De ahí
que la Liturgia ha sido siempre, el medio empleado
por la Iglesia para practicar con los fieles difuntos el
deber de la caridad, que nos manda a atender las
necesidades del prójimo, como si fueran nuestras, en
virtud siempre de ese lazo sobrenatural y
apretadisimo que une en Jesus al cielo con la tierra y
el purgatorio.
La Solemne conmemoración de todos los fieles
difuntos se debe a San Odilón, cuarto abad del
célebre monasterio benedictino de Cluny. El fue
quien en 998 y mandó celebrarla un dia como hoy
(Nov, dos), la influencia de aquella ilustre y poderosa
congregación, hizo se adoptara bien pronto este uso
en todo el orbe Cristiano, ya que ese día fuese en
algunas partes fiesta de guardar. En España, Portugal
y América del Sur, que de ella dependían, Benedicto
XIV, habia concedido celebrar tres Misas el dos de
Nov, y Benedicto XV, el 10 de Agosto de 1915,
autorizó lo mismo a todos lo Sacerdotes del mundo
Católico..
“AQUELLOS QUE NOS HAN DEJADO, NO
ESTÁN AUSENTES, SINO INVISIBLES.
PORQUE TIENEN SUS OJOS LLENOS DE
GLORIA, FIJOS EN LOS NUESTRO LLENOS
DE LÁGRIMAS”…(SAN AGUSTIN).
