The Fire of Christ's Heart: Surrendering to Grace or to the World Today's Homily reflects on a challenging Gospel passage . . . . . . where Jesus says He came not to bring peace but division. The Homily also invites us to linger with difficult Scriptures rather than skip to “favorite parts,” because they reveal essential truths about salvation. St. Paul reminds believers that although Christ has already won victory over sin, we must still freely choose to surrender to God's grace instead of giving in to old habits, emotions, and worldly desires. We Must Still Freely Choose to Surrender to God's Grace Jesus speaks with deep urgency and longing for our salvation, revealing His burning desire to complete His saving mission on the Cross. True peace is not simply avoiding conflict or leaving things as they are; rather, Jesus brings a necessary division between the old life of sin and the new life of grace. Choosing the Kingdom means leaving behind “business as usual,” even when that causes tension within ourselves, our families, or society. Ultimately, life presents only two paths: God's way or the way that leads to emptiness, shame, and death. The Lord calls us to choose the way of life, to surrender to grace, and to walk with Him . . . who gives us strength in the Eucharist . . . to become truly new and free in Him.

A Season of Mercy: Humble Prayer and the Gift of Indulgences Today's Homily reflects on what it means to pray in a way that God truly hears us. The readings remind us that God has no favorites, yet He shows special attention to the poor and humble because all human beings are, at our core, spiritually poor and in need of mercy. Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector reveal the danger of self-righteousness: when we come before God convinced of our own goodness, we close ourselves off from grace. True prayer begins with humility, honesty, and recognition of our need for God's mercy . . . like the tax collector who simply prayed, “Have mercy on me, a sinner.” Have Mercy On Me The Homily then connects this lesson to the Church's November focus on praying for the dead. Sin not only offends God but causes harm that must be repaired . . . either in this life through penance or in purgatory. The Church, in her mercy, offers special indulgences in the first eight days of November to help souls in purgatory, especially through cemetery visits, prayer, sacramental confession, and Communion. The Shrine's annual Novena for the Faithful Departed is also highlighted as a powerful opportunity to assist loved ones. Ultimately, the message urges humility, repentance, and charitable prayer for the deceased, trusting in God's abundant mercy. ---------------------------------------------------------- Art Work All Souls Day: French Painter: Jules Bastien-Lepage: 1882 ---------------------------------------------------------- The Homily references a handout explaining plenary indulgences.

Memento Mori: Holding Onto What Matters Most in Life and Death Today's Homily, on All Souls‘ Day, . . . . . . tells the story of a grieving family mourning their only daughter. When the priest arrives, people expect answers and consolation . . . but instead, he sits at the coffin and weeps with them. His tears silently communicate that death, pain, and loss are real, and sometimes there are no words . . . only presence and love. Memento Mori The message extends to all who mourn: the Church stands with us in grief and points us to Christ, who also wept for His friend Lazarus. Jesus shares in our suffering, prays with us, and leads us to eternal life. The reading reminds us that nothing . . . not even death . . . can separate us from God's love and that we are created for eternal glory. We are encouraged to remember death, to hold onto what truly matters . . . Christ . . . and to live well, knowing our time on earth is limited. Commemorating the dead comforts us, honors them, and reminds us that one day we too will be prayed for. May the souls of the departed rest in peace Listen to this Meditation Media: Listen to: Memento Mori: Holding Onto What Matters Most in Life and Death ------------------------------------------------------------- Memento Mori . . . . . . is a Latin phrase that means: “Remember that you will die.” It is a spiritual reminder used throughout Christian history . . . especially by monks and saints . . . to keep life in perspective. The point is not to inspire fear, but to encourage: • humility • living with purpose • focusing on what truly matters (our soul and love of God) • readiness to meet the Lord In other words, Memento Mori invites us to live well by remembering that earthly life is temporary and eternal life is our true destination. ------------------------------------------------------------- Art Work All Souls' Day: Czech Painter: Jakub Schikaneder: 1888

We are called to live it fully, embracing every moment and savor every moment for what it is, whatever part of the journey or the stage of this circle we are on.

This week, Pastor John continued our Desert Rose sermon series with a message from Ecclesiastes 4 on the purpose of community. God designed us to form relationships that bring encouragement, provision, and protection. In a world filled with opportunity for isolation, we find our deepest belonging in Christ and in the community of His people.
Homily from Sunday, November 2, 2025.
Homily from the Commemoration of All the Faithfully Departed (All Souls). By the end of this Mass, some things will be changed forever. Purgatory is an essential teaching of Christianity. It highlights that salvation is both an event and a process. Purgatory is God's gift on continuing the process of making our hearts like His that He began in this life. Mass Readings from November 2, 2025: Wisdom 3:1-9 Psalm 23:1-3, 3-4, 5, 6Romans 5:5-11 John 6:37-40
