I am glad that once a year I'm reminded of my true vocaon to be holy, to be good, and to be Christ-like. This All Saints’ Day offers a fine opportunity to thank God for those whose saintly lives have honored him and made such a difference to us. But what does it mean to be a holy person, a saint? I found my answers in the words of St. Luke: "But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them do to you." (Luke 6:27-31) Who are the heavenly Saints who inspire you? Who are some of the "living saints" who have encouraged you in your faith? Thank you, dear Lord, for these wonderful Saints! Amen. Finally, don’t forget about Thursday, November 5, 2015 at 7:30 PM. Ms. Mary Endres, our music director, and the Com- bined Choir of St. Thomas More will have a special Taize – Evening Prayer, commemorang those who died before us in faith.

Este Día de Todos los Santos nos ofrece una oportunidad excelente de darle gracias a Dios por aquellas cuyas vidas santas que le honraron y que para nosotros hicieron una gran diferencia. Pero qué significa ser una persona santa, de ser un Santo? He encontrado mi respuesta en las palabras de San Lucas: “Pero a ustedes que me escuchan les digo: Amen a sus enemigos, hagan bien a quienes los odian, bendigan a quienes los maldicen, oren por quienes los insultan. Si alguien te pega en una mejilla, ofrécele también la otra; y si alguien te quita la capa, déjale que se lleve tam- bién tu camisa. A cualquiera que te pida algo, dáselo, y al que te quite lo que es tuyo, no se lo reclames. Hagan ustedes con los demás como quieren que los demás hagan con ustedes.” (Lucas 6:27-31) ¿Quiénes son los Santos de los cielos que te inspiran? ¿Quiénes de los “santos vivientes” te animó en tu fe? !Gracias, Dios querido, por todos los maravillosos Santos!

Centering Prayer is a method designed to facilitate the development of Contemplative Prayer. Centering

Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer; rather, it casts a new light and depth of meaning on them. It is at the same time a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. This method of prayer is a movement beyond conversation beyond conversation beyond conversation beyond conversation with Christ to communion with Him. *with Christ to communion with Him. *with Christ to communion with Him. *with Christ to communion with Him. *

*Excerpts from “The Method of Centering Prayer: The Prayer of Consent” by Thomas Keating

After 9 am Mass there will be Instruction on Scriptural Ways of Praying.

Our Mother of Perpetual Help

Prayer Group

Meets every Wednesday from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm in the Adoration Chapel. Through the intercession of our Blessed Mother our prayers may be heard.
