Jesus Christ has commanded us to take up our Crosses and follow Him if we wish to gain eternal life. He clearly taught that His followers would undergo sufferings and persecutions in this life, but they would have their reward in heaven if they remained faithful. The rest of the world will make merry and rejoice, while the Christian will suffer persecutions. Catholic Doctrine has always taught that the only way to share in the glory of the Resurrection is through the Cross. All the saints were familiar with suffering. In fact, they became extremely anxious when they were not made to suffer because they felt like Christ had abandoned them! “Take up thy Cross and follow me,” says Jesus Christ. You must either suffer in this life or give up the hope of seeing God in heaven!
In Christ,
Fr. Jeff Fasching

November 6th, 2011 21st Sunday after Pentecost
Epistle: Eph. 6: 10-17
Gospel: Mt. 18: 23-35
Mass Schedule November 7th through November 11th:
Monday-Feria-NO LATIN MASS
Tuesday-Requiem Mass + Mary Dsouza
Wednesday-Dedication of the Archbasilica of Our Holy Savior
Thursday-Saint Andrew Avellino, Confessor
Friday-Saint Martin of Tours, Bishop & Confessor
The month of November is dedicated to the Holy Souls. On all days from November 1 through November 8 inclusive, a plenary indulgence, applicable only to the Poor Souls, is granted to those who visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed. Partial indulgences are granted to those who recite Lauds or Vespers of the Office of the Dead, and to those who recite the prayer “Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domini, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Requiescant in pace” (“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace”).
“An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints.” Paul VI, apostolic constitution, Indulgentiarum doctrina, Norm 1.
An indulgence is partial or plenary according as it removes either part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin. The faithful can gain indulgences for themselves, or apply them to the dead.
Saint Paul reminds us we must all be prepared to struggle “against the principalities” of this world, namely those angels who rebelled against God whom Christ has won victory over. We must fight with spiritual weapons; truth, righteousness, peace and faith. These weapons guarantee our victory! Our fight should therefore be fought with joy and confidence!
Satan is constantly seeking to bring about man’s eternal damnation. However, since Christ has defeated satan through the power of the cross, satan no longer has power over us. We must, however, still contend with the enemy. Prayer is the single most important weapon for fighting the enemy. Prayer helps us to conquer evil passions and temptations brought about by the devil. It is not enough simply to go through the motions. We must constantly pray from the heart.

Epistle: Gal. 3: 16-22
Gospel: Lk. 17: 11-19
Mass schedule September 12th through September 16th
Monday-Most Holy Name of Mary-NO LATIN MASS
Tuesday-Feria
Wednesday-Exaltation of the Holy Cross
Thursday-Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Friday-SS. Cornelius, Pope, & Cyprian, Bishop & Martyrs
Our goal in this life is to serve God perfectly. We must not only believe in God, but we must also believe in everything that the Catholic Church teaches us. Faith is absolutely necessary in order to be saved. Hope is also necessary in order to have pure and upright motives so that we please God in all our actions. But Charity urges us to love God because He is infinitely good and He deserves to be loved.
What is Charity? It is a theological virtue that God infuses into our heart by which we learn to love God with our whole heart and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God. We should pray everyday that we learn to love God above all things, even ourselves. To love God above all things means to be willing to lose fortune, good name, parents, friends children, husband, wife, and even our own life, than to lose God by committing a mortal sin.
Saint Augustine says that to love God perfectly means to love Him without measure, even if there were no heaven to hope for or no hell to fear. Saint Paul knew all too well that to really love God means that neither sufferings, persecutions, contempt, life, or death are capable of taking this love away from us. We owe this kind of love to God.
We were created only for God. God alone is capable of satisfying us and making us truly happy. We are often so blind. We cling to life, to the world and its goods and pleasures. We cling to the very things which make us unhappy. The Saints despised all these things and clung to God alone!
Those who possess Charity do not strive to accumulate the goods of this world. The things of this world are nothing to them. They realize that those who cling to this world’s good’s are unhappy people. They strive constantly to atone for their sins through good works. They are kind to everybody. This is the example that Jesus Christ gives us in the Gospel. In return, He expects that we show our gratitude by treating others the very same way.

Examine yourself well and figure out whether or not you have true humility. If you do not, you should do everything in your power to attain it because without it you cannot enter into heaven. Jesus says: “Learn of Me, because I am meek and humble of heart.” Christ gives us the power to imitate His humility. A whole multitude of things are worthy of imitation when it comes to our Lord, but He only asks us to imitate His humility.
Christ abased Himself before the Majesty of His Father in heaven. He has taken on the form of a servant. He has willed to be thought of as the lowest of men, a man of sorrow. Christ has taken upon Himself the sins of all men. If Christ has thus been justly treated for having taken on Himself the sins of others, what has he not deserved who committed the sin?
Is it not fitting that we should always strive to embrace the virtue of humility? We must keep our hearts contrite and humble before God. We cannot attribute to ourselves any talent, success, or any good work. Above all, we must not pride ourselves on being elevated to the great dignity of baptized and confirmed Catholic Christians. We have received this great gift without payment of price.

Christ warns His disciples to beware of false prophets. What is the difference between a genuine prophet and a false prophet? Christ says you will know them by the fruits they produce. A person who genuinely speaks the things of God sows faith, hope, charity, peace and understanding. A false prophet, on the other hand, sows division, hatred, resentment, pride and sensuality. A false prophet separates the people of God from the Magisterium of the Church.
We know that Christ’s teaching is declared to the world through the teaching body of the Church. When we pray we must have a spirit that desires to unite our will to the will of God. We can be sure of the will of God when we adhere to the Magisterium of the Church. Christ speaks to us through our Holy Father, the Vicar of Christ on earth. We owe our Pope our prayers.

The Gospel passage for Mass has very much to do with the life of the Church. The bishop of Rome is the vicar of Christ on earth because he represents Christ on earth and acts for Christ in the government of the Church. Jesus Christ asks all of us to search for souls. The harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few. We must constantly ask the Lord to send out laborers!
It takes courage to respond the the call of discipleship from Christ. We cannot make excuses. We cannot say we are not qualified. We must stop saying the job belongs to someone else. We must all respond to Christ's apostolic mission. We must respond to His call to the priesthood.

Pot luck dinner next Sunday May 8 immediately following Mass.
May 1, 2011, Divine Mercy Sunday; A plenary indulgence is granted to those who take part in the prayers and devotions held in honor of Divine Mercy, or who, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed or in the tabernacle, recite one Our Father and the Creed, adding a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus. Those who for a just cause cannot get to church can gain the same indulgence by reciting one Our Father, the Creed, and a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus before an image of the Divine Mercy.
Immediately following Mass on May 1st the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed and we will join together in reciting the Divine Mercy Chaplet with benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
The Church has always understood and has defined that Jesus Christ in today's Gospel conferred on the Apostles authority to forgive sins. This power is exercised in the Sacrament of Penance. The Sacrament of Penance is the most sublime expression of God's love and mercy towards men. The Lord is always waiting for us to repent. He will always forgive us and restore to us our dignity.
The Popes have consistently recommended Christians to have regular recourse to the Sacrament of Penance. Penance helps us to grow in a true knowledge of ourselves and in Christian humility. We root out bad habits and keep from neglecting our spiritual life through penance. Our conscience is strengthened and purified through the Sacrament of Penance.
