PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP
O MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP, grant that I may
ever invoke your most powerful name, which is the
safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying.
O Purest MARY, O Sweetest MARY! Let your name
henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed
Lady, to succor me whenever I call on you, for, in all
my temptations, in all my needs, I shall never cease to
call on you, ever repeating your sacred name, Mary,
Mary! Oh, what consolation, what sweetness, what
confidence, what emotion, fills my soul when I utter
your sacred name, or even only think of you! I thank
the Lord for having given you, for my good, so sweet,
so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely uttering your name. Let my love for
you prompt me ever to hail you, Mother of Perpetual
Help!
This Week’s Gospel: John 6:37–40
Christians both living and dead belong to
the Communion of Saints. The Feast of All
Souls helps us remember and pray for those
who have died and gone on to our common
Christian future—life forever with God. The Gospel for
this special day comes as a promise. All who believe in
Jesus will have eternal life, and Jesus will raise them up on
the last day. It
is sometimes difficult for families to talk about death because the loss of a loved one feels so very, very sad. All
Souls’ Day is a reminder that all sadness will go away
when we experience the resurrection that Jesus has promised.
Exploring the Gospel Message
Seeds (Preschool): Although this Sunday is the celebration
of All Souls’ Day, your child learned about the some of the
saints who
are your brothers and sisters who followed Jesus and who
show all how to live as good Christians. Ask your child to
show you the cover of this week’s lesson and to share with
the family what they learned about the saints pictured there.
Read the booklet your child made in class.
Promise (Grades K–1): Your child learned that All Souls’
is the feast day that reminds us
to remember family and friends who have died. Your child
made a paper candle in class. Light a real candle and talk
about people who have died and are waiting for Jesus’
promise that all will rise again. (Be sure to ask your child
to share the story of “Brother Martin and the Mice.”)
Good News (Grades 2–3): In class this week, your child
got a glimpse of what our faith in the resurrection means.
They learned about praying for those who have died. Talk
about Día de
los Muertos. How do these traditions honor
those who have died? How does your family remember
your relatives who have died? This is also a good week to
share stories of the saints. Ask your child to share the saints
he or she learned about in class.
Venture (Grades 4–6): This week your child learned more
about the Communion of Saints by discovering why we
celebrate feasts honoring those who have died and honoring those who have been singled out as canonized saints.
OLPH School Connection
The families of our OLPH 8th
grade students ar e back today!
These devoted families took it
upon themselves to get together
and organize today’s Bake Sale /
Garage Sale! The 8th gr ade
class wanted to “leave their mark” on OLPH, and
decided the best way to do that was to raise money to
Invite your child to tell the story “May Your Memory Live
On” with the family. Talk about ways your family can remember relatives who have died. Make sure one of those
ways is remembering them in your prayers.
Visions (Grades 7–8): This week your youngster’s class
explored many aspects of the Communion of Saints. The
class also learned to appreciate Jesus’ promise of eternal
life. Talk together about Jesus’ promise. What does this
promise mean to your family? How can your family
demonstrate your faith in life everlasting? Make a list of
people you know whose life or work shows what it means
to belong to the Communion of Saints.
Pray Together
When you complete your conversation about the week’s
Gospel lesson, pay a visit to the local Catholic cemetery.
The Feast of All Souls is
an ideal day to visit the graves of your family members and
say a little prayer for each one. Then walk through the cemetery. Look for signs that demonstrate faith in Jesus’ promise of eternal life. Before leaving, join hands and recite the
Our Father. Then say together, “Eternal rest grant unto
them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May
they rest in peace. Amen.”
Venture (4.o a 6.o Grado): Esta semana su hijo aprendió
más acerca de la Comunión de los Santos, al descubrir por
qué celebramos las fiestas que honran a aquellos que han
muerto y a aquellos que se destacan como santos canonizados. Inviten a su hijo a contar a la familia el relato “Que tu
recuerdo permanezca”. Hablen acerca de las maneras en
que su familia puede recordar a los parientes que han muerto. Asegúrense de que una de estas maneras sea acordarse
de ellos en sus oraciones.
Orar juntos
Cuando terminen su conversación sobre la lección de Evangelio de esta semana, visite el cementerio católico local. El
Día de Todos los Fieles Difuntos es un día ideal para visitar
las tumbas de sus parientes y rezar una breve oración por
cada uno de ellos. Luego caminen por el cementerio.
Busquen señales que demuestren fe en la promesa de vida
eterna de Jesús. Antes de irse, tómense de las manos y oren
el Padre Nuestro. Luego digan juntos: “Concédeles, Señor,
el descanso eterno y brille para ellos la luz perpetua.
Descansen en paz. Amén”.
replace the broken basketball hoops on our school
yard. Our students really have that OLPH pride and
understand what it means to give.
In addition to the efforts of our 8th grade families,
several parents and staff are gathering at the school
today from 12:00-4:00 to help paint the upper floor
hallway doors and baseboards. I feel so honored to
work amongst people with such generous spirits.
Go SAINTS!

It is difficult to love, especially when we have been
hurt by others. Ask the Holy Spirit to bring you the

your awareness of God’s love for you, shown by
giving us life and the gifts of faith, hope, and love.
