One Minute Meditations All Saints Day In the early Church, each saint and martyr had a feast day later created so many martyrs that there weren't enough days on the calendar for individual commemorations. Eventually Pope Gregory IV designated Nov. I as All Saints Day.
All Souls Day Names of those who died were posted in the early days of the Church so that they could be remembered in prayer. In the llth century, the Cluniac monasteries, the Benedictines and Carthusians all started commemorating the Feast of All Souls on Nov. 2, the day after All Saints Day. Now the entire Church remembers all the dead on this day espedally our loved ones and souls in Purgatory

What's so great about being Catholic? Our Mothen Mary, the mother of God, Is also our mother. It's dependable. Our religion hasn't changed since Jesus started it. You can sing badly and no one cares. All voices are welcome in the Church. We have a shepherd. Jesus knew we would need looking after. Pope Benedict KW can trace his spiritual ancestry straight back to the first pope, St. Peter, who was appointed by Jesus. The ceremonies can't be beat. Through rituals we express devotion, hope, love, and respect. And
because we repeat them often, they bring a sense of stability and comfort. Catholics know when our sins are forgiven. In the Sacrament of Recondliation, we get to hear the priest pronounce Jesus' words of absolution and forgiveness. We have friends in high places. The saints . Where else can you meet Jesus in the flesh? In the Eucharist Jesus is literally and wholly present—body and blood, soul and divinity—under the appearances of bread and wine.
Luke 21:25-28, 34-36, the Advent of hope The virtues of patience and perseverance aren't strengths for most of us. Often the concerns of daily life overshadow our pursuit of holiness. We can even get lured Into sin by the comforts and pleasures the world has to offer. Knowing this, Jesus warned his followers about the end times, hoping to shake them (and us) out of 'drowsy complaisance. Imagine the terrifying scene Jesus described — the shaking of the earth, sea, and sky and people dying of fright. In the midst of thatterroz though,
Feasts & gt* Celebrations November 11 - St. Martin of Tours (397). At 15, Martin became soldier, but he knew killing was wrong a Roman and he wanted to become a Christian. A beggar in France made it so. Martin saw the man cold and hungry and decided to rip in half his cloak to warm him. That night he dreamed the beggar was Jesus, wearing his cloak and surrounded by angels. Martin left the army and became a priest.

people in God's friendship will have no reason to fear. The key is, he said, to stay on guard against sin and worldly pleasure Advent Is a time of waiting for the coming of Christ. God has promised us that if we are faithful to him, we will be rewarded. This is a time when we must pray for patience and perseverance to keep us ready for the arrival of our Savior. Then we can hold our heads high and stand confident expecting our promised reward. instruction and teaching of the faith. He died trying to bring the Orthodox and Catholic churches back together. November 21 - The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As an infant, Mary was offered to God in the temple. It was Jewish custom to either consecrate a child to divine service or have them offered up by a priest. During the ceremony, MarYs tender soul was adorned with graces.
What can I do • & about the shortage In the Catholic Church, the number of priests increases every year. However, in the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe, fewer men are entering discernment and formation for the priesthood. It's not that God Is calling fewer men here than elsewhere. It may be that fewer act on their call due to lack of information or encouragement. Start by praying for more men to recognize their call to the priesthood. Then, look for a Catholic who has Integrity and a strong relationship with God, has an ability to work with a variety of people, and has good friends and healthy relationships. Perhaps you know someone like this who already serves the Church as an altar server, a lector, Eucharistic minister, or a teacher. Then, tell him why you think he will make a good priest and suggest he contact the vocation director in your diocese. Studies show that nine out of ten priests in the U.S. are happy in their ministy and would choose it again given the chance.
