4 November 15, rd Ordinary Sunday Page Four Prayers for November The Month of the Holy Souls in Purgatory By Scott P. Richert Catholicism Expert the Holy Souls. In their me in Purgatory, they can pray for us, and we should pray for the faithful departed that they may be freed from the punishment for their sins and enter into Heaven. We should pray for the dead throughout the year, especially on the anniversary of their death, but in this Month of the Holy Souls, we should devote some me every day to prayer for the dead. We should start with those closest to us our mother and father, for instance but we should also offer prayers for all the souls, and especially for those most forsaken. We believe that those Holy Souls for whom we pray will con nue to pray for us a er they have been released from Purgatory. If we live Chris an lives, we too will likely find ourselves in Purgatory someday, and our acts of charity toward the Holy Souls there now will ensure that they remember us before the throne of God when we are most in need of prayers. It's a comfor ng thought, and one that should encourage us, especially in this month of November, to offer our prayers for the Holy Souls. As the weather grows colder and the leaves fall, and Thanksgiving and Christmas approach, it is natural that our thoughts turn to those whom we have loved who are no longer with us. How appropriate, then, that the Catholic Church offers us November, which begins with All Saints Day and All Souls Day, as the Month of the Holy Souls in Purgatory those who have died in grace, yet who failed in this life to make sa sfac on for all of their sins. In recent years, perhaps no Catholic doctrine has been more misunderstood by Catholics themselves than the doctrine of Purgatory. Consequently, we tend to downplay it, even seem a li le embarrassed by it, and it is the Holy Souls who suffer because of our discomfort with the doctrine. Purgatory is not, as many people think, one last trial; all of those who make it to Purgatory will one day be in Heaven. Purgatory is where those who have died in grace, but who have not fully atoned for the temporal punishments resul ng from their sins, go to finish their atonement before entering Heaven. A soul in Purgatory may suffer, but he has the assurance that he will ul mately enter Heaven when his punishment is complete. Catholics believe Purgatory is an expression of God's love, His desire to cleanse our souls of all that might keep us from experiencing the fullness of joy in Heaven. As Chris ans, we don't travel through this world alone. Our salva on is wrapped up with the salva on of others, and charity requires us to come to their aid. The same is true of Eternal Rest One of the most commonly recited of Catholic prayers in mes past, this prayer has fallen into disuse in the last few decades. Prayer for the dead, however, is one of the greatest acts of charity we can perform, to help them during their me in Purgatory, so that they can enter more quickly into the fullness of heaven Eternal Rest Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. This beau ful prayer, drawn from the Byzan ne Divine Liturgy, reminds us that Christ's victory over death brings us all the possibility of eternal rest. We pray for all of those who have gone before us, that they, too, may enter into Heaven. Prayer for All the Deceased By Thy resurrec on from the dead, O Christ, death no longer hath dominion over those who die in holiness. So, we beseech Thee, give rest to Thy servants in Thy sanctuary and in Abraham's bosom. Grant it to those, who from Adam un l now have adored Thee with purity, to our fathers and brothers, to our kinsmen and friends, to all men who have lived by faith and passed on their road to Thee, by a thousand ways, and in all condi ons, and make them worthy of the heavenly kingdom.

COMBATING THE CONTRACEPTIVE MENTALITY IN MODERN SOCIETY Saturday, November 21 from 9:00am 1:00pm St. Ferdinand Church In today s modern society, there is an increasing pressure to conform to the status quo, especially when in comes to reproduc ve health. These pressures typically center on abor on, contracep on and abusive rela onships. I would first like to define the problems that confront so many single and married women in our country and I would like to show how many of them are correlated. I then would like to offer strategies to help combat these problems. One strategy is to chart the menstrual cycle and use it for diagnosis and tailoring the treatment. I will include a brief introduc on to NaProTECHNOLOGY developed at the Pope Paul VI Ins tute in Omaha. Many women today find themselves pressured either by the medical community or their significant others to embrace the contracep ve mentality, which includes the acceptance of IVF and abor on. I want to let these women know that there is a healthier way of achieving and avoiding pregnancy, one that is morally and ethically superior. Topics to be covered: 1. Infer lity as a cross to bear 2. Subculture (depression, suicidal thoughts, infer lity) 3. Abor on and contracep on 4. Intro to NaProTECHNOLOGY These interes ng workshops are part of Third Family Congress of Polonia, it is going to take place in Saint Ferdinand Church at 9am-1pm on Saturday, November 21 st. Registra on for these workshops are required, for more informa on visit

During his sermon announcing this jububilee year, the Pope said that "No one can be excluded from the mercy of God." Certainly Advent rings true to this theme as the mercy of God is brought to us through the birth of Jesus as our Savior. The Sunday readings that we hear at Mass during Advent deepen our awareness of God s love for all of us, especially for those who are on the fringes of society. We can prepare for Christmas through our individual life experiences, our scriptural reflec- ons, and our ac ons that serve others.

10 November 15, 2015 ZRANIENI UZDROWIENI W MIŁOŚCI Sobota, 21 listopada od godz. 9:00am 1:00pm Parafia sw. Ferdynanda Płodność jest niezmiernie ważna dla każdej kobiety, często jest jej wymiernikiem. Jednak wiele kobiet nie rozumie swojej płodności, jest w tym zagadnieniu po prostu zagubiona. Są również kobiety, które w prawdzie wiedzą wiele na ten temat, ale wiedza ta nie jest wystarczająca, a współcześni lekarze ginekolodzy nie są pomocni w tym zakresie. Często czujemy się bezsilne i pozostawione same sobie w realizacji powołania do macierzyństwa, tak wcale nie musi być. Zapraszam na warsztaty Zranieni-uzdrowieni w miłości, które są częścią Trzeciego Polonijnego Kongresu Rodziny. Prowadzone one będą przez znanego już dla wielu z was lekarza ginekologa dr Roberta Lawlera w kościele św. Ferdynanda w sobotę 21 listopada od 9am do 1pm. Konieczna jest rejestracja na te warsztaty: droga internetową lub osobiście w biurze Jezuickiego Ośrodka Milenijnego (5835 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago), w dni powszednie od godz. 3:30pm do 8:30pm oraz w niedziele po każdej Mszy św. W dzisiejszym nowoczesnym świecie jest rosnąca presja dostosowania się do status quo, zwłaszcza jeśli chodzi o płodność. Ta presja zwykle koncentruje się na aborcji, antykoncepcji i związkach przepełnionych przemocą. Na początku chciałbym zdefiniować problemy, które dotyczą wielu kobiet w naszym kraju i chciałbym pokazać, jak wiele z nich jest powiązanych. Następnie chciałbym zaoferować strategię pomocy. Jedna ze strategii zawiera obserwacje i zapis zmian cyklu menstruacyjnego oraz ich wpływ na diagnostykę i leczenie. Dołączę krótkie wprowadzenie do Naprotechnologii zapoczątkowanej w Instytucie Pawła VI w Omaha Wiele kobiet w dzisiejszym świecie boryka się z presją wywieraną przez środowisko medyczne lub przez otoczenie, aby zaakceptować antykoncepcyjną mentalność, która obejmuje sztuczne zapłodnienie IVF i aborcję. Chcę tym kobietom powiedzieć, że jest zdrowszy sposób na panowanie nad swoją płodnością, sposób, który jest moralny i etyczny. Tematy, które będą poruszane: 1. Bezpłodność jako krzyż. 2. Subkultura (depresja, skłonności samobójcze, bezpłodność) 3. Aborcja i antykoncepcja Warsztaty będą prowadzone w języku angielskim Serdecznie zapraszamy (Wymagana rejestracja) Ewa Kozioł, Animator Kongresu 33rd Ordinary Sunday Page Ten

13 November 15, rd Ordinary Sunday Page Thirteen Even though I d signed up months before, I almost didn t run the Grand Rapids Marathon recently due to abdominal pain. I thought it was a hernia. My doctor did, too, but she said I needed to consult with the surgeon. I couldn t get scheduled to see him un l a er the race, though, so my doctor said that as long as I took it easy and stopped when I had pain, I d be OK. Clearly, she d never run a marathon before. I knew she was speaking of abdominal pain, though, so I explained that since the problem had surfaced a month prior, I always experienced pain while running, but at a low level. Then she said I d be OK as long as I stopped if the pain got more intense than it already was. Deal. I did what the doctor ordered come race day, which, now that I think about it, is exactly what I did in my very first marathon-- when I lined up for the Chicago race next to a runner from Crown Point, IN and asked him if he had any advice for a rookie. Start slow, and slow down, he said. I nailed this in Grand Rapids, smiling through the first several miles because my pace was comfortable, the pain was tolerable, and I was just so thankful to be a part of it all. Gra tude was my prayer for most of the distance, in fact. S ll, I was struggling by the 20-mile mark--even with the slower pace--and with 6.2 more to go, it was easy for me to recall the La n text I had seen on the back of runner s shirt several miles earlier: Pa ens in veritate, or something like that. I had to ask the guy what it meant. Suffering into truth, he said. Marathoners.

Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com) St. Ferdinand Parish It takes one to know one, of course, and it s easy to recall these words again as I consider today s readings. The Church year is winding down, which means the chosen Scriptures once more turn to the end mes. Per the prophet Daniel in the Old Testament text, Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake; some shall live forever, others shall be an everlas ng horror and disgrace. And Jesus himself speaks of the Parousia in the Gospel. In those days, he says, a er that tribula on the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken Scary stuff. And it could all go down any day now, as the disciples were thinking back then. But be it today or be it never in our lifespan, we will all encounter our own end me in one way or another. And, I suspect, we will all be pa ens in veritate--suffering into truth--before it s over. Then why are we s ll smiling? Because we know from the second reading that Jesus, by his sacrifice, has made us blameless before the Father: For by one offering he has made perfect forever those who are being consecrated. Per the message I saw on the back of another runner s shirt that day, This rock star is running her first marathon! In a larger context, we re all running our first marathon, and we only get one crack at it. May we be ever grateful for the opportunity--even through the pain--knowing that with the Christ, we each one have rock star status, and that a crown of glory awaits us when all of our miles are through.
