4 May 29 June 8 Pilgrimage: FATIMA SANTIAGO DE COM- POSTELA BURGOS LOURDES BARCELONA ($3, ) For more information call Fr. Zenon Tutti i Santi 1 novembre Il giorno di tutti i Santi, noto anche come Ognissanti, è una festa cristiana che celebra insieme la gloria e l'onore di tutti i Santi (siano o non siano stati canonizzati). La solennità del calendario liturgico romano (in latino: Sollemnitas Omnium Sanctorum) cade il 1º novembre (seguita il 2 novembre dalla Commemorazione dei Defunti), ed è una festa di precetto, che prevedeva anche una vigilia e un'ottava nel calendario anteriore alla riforma liturgica voluta dal concilio ecumenico Vaticano II. Le commemorazioni dei martiri, comuni a diverse Chiese, cominciarono ad esser celebrate nel IV secolo. Le prime tracce di una celebrazione generale sono attestate ad Antiochia, e fanno riferimento alla Domenica successiva alla Pentecoste. Questa usanza viene citata anche nella settantaquattresima omelia di Giovanni Crisostomo ed è preservata fino ad oggi dalle chiese orientali. Anche Efrem Siro parla di tale festa, e la colloca il 13 maggio. La ricorrenza della chiesa occidentale potrebbe derivare dalla festa romana della dedicatio Sanctae Mariae ad Martyres, ovvero l'anniversario della trasformazione del Pantheon in chiesa dedicata alla Vergine e a tutti i martiri, avvenuta il 13 maggio del 609 o 610 da parte di papa Bonifacio IV; la data del 13 maggio coincide con quella citata da Efrem Siro. In seguito papa Gregorio III ( ) scelse il 1º novembre come data dell'anniversario della consacrazione di una cappella a San Pietro alle reliquie "dei santi apostoli e di tutti i santi, martiri e confessori, e di tutti i giusti resi perfetti che riposano in pace in tutto il mondo. Arrivati ai tempi di Carlo Magno, la festività di Ognissanti era diffusamente celebrata in novembre]. Il 1º novembre venne decretato festa di precetto da parte del re franco Luigi il Pio nell'835. Il decreto fu emesso "su richiesta di papa Gregorio IV e con il consenso di tutti i vescovi. La festa si dotò di ottava solenne ancora presente nel rito straordinario della Chiesa durante il pontificato di papa Sisto IV, quando, bandendo la crociata per la liberazione di Otranto nel settembre 1480, il pontefice implorò la benedizione dell'altissimo sulle schiere cristiane. Do you think you re going to heaven? Because maybe you aren t. All Saints. Since the times of the early church, particularly the martyrs always had a special day assigned to their veneration. Do you think that you re going to heaven? And if so, why? I read a recent poll from ABC news that said that about 85% (of people who believed in heaven at all) believed that they were going there. As a matter of fact, I polled the 8th graders this morning and asked them how many of them thought they were going to heaven. All of them did. But again, I wonder what the basis of that hope is. Scripture says that Heaven is for those who have conquered. There are multiple images, particularly in the Book of Revelation, about gaining heaven as gaining ground in some kind of mortal combat. St. Paul compares the Christian life to boxing, to training for the Olympic games and to a race. Jesus clearly says that at the end of time, the human race will be divided into the sheep and the goats and the ones who failed to show heroic kindness to their brothers and sisters will be thrown into the lake of fire. Many other such references could be given. They all point to one truth: Heaven is like a winner s circle. It is a place for those who have won the race and kept the faith. But somehow, I think that we have cheapened it into a place that were are simply entitled to go because we re such nice people. People seem to think that all that is necessary to go to heaven is that you have some tiny glimmer of goodness in you. For all we know, that description fits Satan himself, but as far as we know, he is not enjoying his heavenly reward for it. Since when do we presume so much on God s kindness and mercy and simply think that just by being vaguely nice people who generally did as we pleased, that we will go to the place where Scripture says that only the heroes go? Y all, it doesn t really take much energy to be nice to people. Atheists can be nice to people, and very often are. Heaven means much more than being nice, it means being holy. Today is a day we celebrate holy men and women, not men and women who just won PTA awards or were good at patting their children on the cheek when they did something cute. It is a happy day, but it is a day that we should ask ourselves a very important question: how does my faith make me act differently than I would if I did not have it? How am I striving to win the race? Am I testifying to the life of the savior who suffered for me by suffering myself for the sake of love? I would like to end with a quotation by Coach Vince Lombardi, who knew a great deal about struggling to meet a goal: I firmly believe that any man s finest hours, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle victorious. This is how we will enter Heaven. And there is no other way

5 UROCZYSTOŚĆ WSZYSTKICH ŚWIĘTYCH 1 LISTOPADA Dzisiejsza uroczystość ma charakter bardzo radosny. Wspominamy bowiem dzisiaj wszystkich tych, którzy żyli przed nami i wypełniając w swoim życiu Bożą wolę, osiągnęli wieczne szczęście przebywania z Bogiem w niebie. Kościół wspomina nie tylko oficjalnie uznanych świętych, czyli tych beatyfikowanych i kanonizowanych, ale także wszystkich wiernych zmarłych, którzy już osiągnęli zbawienie i przebywają w niebie. Widzi w nich swoich orędowników u Boga i przykłady do naśladowania. Wstawiennictwa Wszystkich Świętych wzywa się w szczególnie ważnych wydarzeniach życia Kościoła. Śpiewa się wówczas Litanię do Wszystkich Świętych, która należy do najstarszych litanijnych modlitw Kościoła i jako jedyna występuje w księgach liturgicznych (w liturgii Wigilii Paschalnej; ponadto także w obrzędzie poświęcenia kościoła i ołtarza oraz w obrzędzie święceń. W pierwszych wiekach chrześcijaństwa w Kościele nie wspominano żadnych świętych. Najwcześniej zaczęto oddawać cześć Matce Bożej. Potem kultem otoczono męczenników, nawiedzając ich groby w dniu narodzin dla nieba, czyli w rocznicę śmierci. W IV wieku na Wschodzie obchodzono jednego dnia wspomnienie wszystkich męczenników. Z czasem zaczęto pamiętać o świątobliwych wyznawcach: papieżach, mnichach i dziewicach. Większego znaczenia uroczystość Wszystkich Świętych nabrała za czasów papieża Bonifacego IV (+ 615). Już ok. 800 r. wspomnienie Wszystkich Świętych obchodzone było w Irlandii i Bawarii, ale 1 listopada. Za papieża Grzegorza IV ( ) cesarz Ludwik rozciągnął święto na całe swoje państwo. W 935 r. Jan XI rozszerzył je na cały Kościół. W ten sposób lokalne święto Rzymu i niektórych Kościołów stało się świętem całego Kościoła. Jest to uroczystość nakazana, więc tylko choroba lub poważne przeszkody zwalniają z obowiązku uczestnictwa we Mszy Świętej. Zapraszamy na Eucharystię: w języku polskim o godzinie 8:00 AM, 7:00 PM oraz w języku angielskim o 7:00 AM, 8:00 AM (St. Michael s), 12:00 PM. Tak jak w roku ubiegłym, zapraszamy wszystkich chętnych do wyjazdu na cmentarz w North Arlington (340 Ridge Road) na modlitwę różańcową za zmarłych w niedzielę, 6 listopada o godzinie 3:00 PM. Spotkamy się przy biurze cmentarza i stamtąd wyruszymy do mausoleum, do grobu księdza Roberta; tam będziemy modlić się się w języku polskim i angielskim. Potem będzie można odwiedzić groby swoich bliskich. Prosimy o przyjechanie własnymi samochodami. Jeśli ktoś miałby jakieś pytania, to prosimy je kierować do ks. Andrzeja. WSPOMNIENIE WSZYSTKICH WIERNYCH ZMARŁYCH (DZIEŃ ZADUSZNY) 2 LISTOPADA Kościół wspomina w liturgii wszystkich wierzących w Chrystusa, którzy odeszli już z tego świata, a teraz przebywają w czyśćcu. Przekonanie o istnieniu czyśćca jest jednym z dogmatów naszej wiary. Obchód Dnia Zadusznego zainicjował w 998 r. św. Odilon (+1048) - czwarty opat klasztoru benedyktyńskiego w Cluny (Francja). Praktykę tę początkowo przyjęły klasztory benedyktyńskie, ale wkrótce za ich przykładem poszły także inne zakony i diecezje. W XIII w. święto rozpowszechniło się na cały Kościół. W wieku XIV zaczęto urządzać procesję na cmentarz do czterech stacji. Piąta stacja odbywała się już w kościele, po powrocie procesji z cmentarza. Przy stacjach odmawiano modlitwy za zmarłych i śpiewano pieśni żałobne. W Polsce tradycja Dnia Zadusznego zaczęła się tworzyć już w XII w., a z końcem wieku XV była znana w całym kraju. W 1915 r. papież Benedykt XV na prośbę opata-prymasa benedyktynów zezwolił, aby tego dnia każdy kapłan mógł odprawić trzy Msze święte: w intencji poleconej przez wiernych, za wszystkich wiernych zmarłych i według intencji Ojca Świętego. Od południa dnia Wszystkich Świętych i przez cały Dzień Zaduszny w kościołach i kaplicach publicznych można uzyskać odpust zupełny za zmarłych, ale tylko jeden raz. Warunki zyskania odpustu są następujące: 1) pobożne nawiedzenie kościoła lub kaplicy, 2) odmówienie "Ojcze nasz" i "Wierzę w Boga" 3) dowolna modlitwa w intencjach Ojca Świętego 4) bycie w stanie łaski uświecającej i Komunia Św. W dniach 1-8 listopada można także pozyskać odpust zupełny za nawiedzenie cmentarza pod wyżej wymienionymi warunkami. W pozostałe dni roku za nawiedzenie cmentarza pozyskuje się odpust cząstkowy. 2 listopada wszystkie Msze Święte będą odprawiane w intencji poleconych nam zmarłych w następującym porządku: 7:00 AM - Msza w języku angielskim 8:00 AM - Msza w języku polskim 8:00 AM (St. Michael s) - Msza w języku angielskim 12:00 PM - Msza w języku angielskim 7:00 PM - Msza Święta w języku polskim
