Weekly Message
Big Thank You to All Parishioners: It was a fun day at St. Mary Magdalene last Sunday despite the rain! I witnessed the community spirit that our parish is known for as parishioners and our friends came out to enjoy the day. I know the weather tried to dissuade us from enjoying the day, but we did not allow that to happen. A very big THANK
YOU to the festival chair and co-chair and all the chairpersons of the various booths and
games. My sincere appreciation to all the volunteers who worked tirelessly and all who
were involved with the set up and take down. You were all amazing, and I feel blessed to
be part of this community. Fr. Jude and I enjoyed the day, and so did Fr. Tony and Fr.
Emmanuel who were witnessing our parish festival for the first time. I would like to express a word of
appreciation to all our sponsors and donors for supporting our festival. You were all amazing, and I
thank God for you all. May God bless everyone!
Solemnity of All Saints: We celebrate All Saints this Sunday when the Church honors all those who
were faithful to Christ and now share in his glory in heaven. In the early days of the Church, there was
so much persecution that caused many Christians to be witnesses to their faith through death. (The
Greek word for “witness” is “martyr.”) The Feast of All Saints historically began as the Feast of All Martyrs in the 4th century. In the 8th century, it became the Feast of All Saints, not just martyrs. Many
saints have their feast days celebrated on specific days of the year in the Church’s liturgical calendar.
There are, however, many others that the Church does not formally recognize through canonization. I
see the Feast of All Saints as being more for these non-canonized saints. The question then is, “Who is a
saint?”
A saint, in Christian understanding, is someone who is in Christ Jesus, who lives a life of holiness and
is exemplary. WE are all called to be saints; we are all called to holiness in the specific states of our
lives. Our lives as saints begin here on earth and follow us into eternity with God. The Church, therefore, does not make saints or create saints; rather, it recognizes saints (in the sense of canonization).
We profess the “communion of saints” in the creed, meaning that the Church is a communion of saints.
We are saints in process (Church militant, those of us living here and now and making efforts to be holy), saints in reality (Church triumphant, already in the presence of God in heaven) and saints undergoing purification (Church in purification in Purgatory). Together, we all make up the Church, the communion of saints.
On All Saints Day, we celebrate the lives of all the great heroes of our faith. We rejoice in their victory
and ask for their intercession that we, too, may be victorious. We emulate their faith and strive to follow Christ as they did. We do this by living a life of Beatitudes, as outlined in our gospel reading today,
changing our attitudes to conform to the teachings of Christ. May all the saints pray for us!
Pilgrimage to the Holy Land: From November 4th to the 12th, I will be making my first pilgrimage
to the Holy Land along with some parishioners. We will walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, Nazareth, Capernaum, Cana, Gethsemani, the Via Dolorosa (Way of the Cross), and many more.
Pray for our safety. We will pray for the needs of every parishioner.
—Fr. Felix
Prayer for Consecrated Persons
God our Father, we thank you for calling men and women to serve in your
Son’s Kingdom as sisters, brothers, religious priests, consecrated virgins,
and hermits, as well as members of Secular Institutes.
Renew their knowledge and love of you, and send your Holy Spirit to help
them respond generously and courageously to your will.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
See what love the Father has bestowed on
us that we may be called the children of
God.
—1 John 3:1

EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF
HOLY COMMUNION
Our annual refresher training/update for current Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC) will be held on Saturday, November 14
from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 am in the church. At this session
we will review current guidelines and procedures and introduce some new procedures.
Some EMHCs have served for a long time and others are
fairly new, but regardless of experience all current EMHCs
are encouraged to attend in order to stay current on our
procedures, especially new procedures that will be implemented soon, and to share your experiences and questions
with other EMHCs.
No need to register in advance, but we will ask attendees
to sign in so we will know who attended.

are honoring will be published in the Sunday bulletin. A donation of $75 will help defray the cost of the
flowers. Requests and donations can be made at the

All Souls’ Day Services at Rosewood Mausoleum
Monday, November 2nd, 2015
10:00 A.M.
Rosewood Funeral Home and Cemetery
2602 S. Houston Ave.
Humble, TX 77396
Share Your Blessings is a Christmas gift program, operated by the Catholic Charities of the
Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, that provides toys and other gifts for children ages 0-17.
Last year, we provided Christmas presents for
more than 971 children, but we couldn’t do it
without your help! For many of these children,
this will be the only gift they receive this Christmas. We want to serve both the children and
their parents so they don’t have to make a
choice between Christmas presents or other necessities this holiday season.
Starting the weekend of November 7th, 2015,
you may choose an angel from the tree in the
narthex, purchase a gift for that child, and bring
the unwrapped gift by December 7th, 2015. You
may drop off your gift before Mass under the
tree in the Narthex or at the parish office
Monday thru Friday.
Please join Rosewood Funeral Home for their annual
All Souls Day service at their mausoleum. Fr. Felix
will be the celebrant for this service.
VIRTUS Training
The next “Protecting God’s Children” VIRTUS class here at St. Mary Magdalene
Catholic Church will be held on Thursday, November 19th,
2015 from 6-9 P.M. in St. Mary’s Hall.
The Archdiocesan Office of Safe Environment requires
that all volunteers and employees of St. Mary Magdalene
Catholic Church attend VIRTUS Training.
If you took the Protecting God’s Children class before
2010, you MUST take a Keeping the Promise Alive refresher class to maintain your VIRTUS status. If you do not
complete the refresher, you CANNOT participate in anything involving minors.
Please make every effort to maintain your VIRTUS status.
Visit www.virtus.org for registration. If you have any questions, please contact Linda Enloe at (281) 389-1820 or
e-mail Linda at [email protected].

Parents planning infant baptism: Our retreat is Sunday, November 15 from 12:15-5:00 pm. Pick up a Baptism Welcome Packet at the parish office. It contains everything you need to know to register and get ready. Parents who are expecting a child are encouraged to participate before the baby is born so as to avoid delaying baptism.

Five-Minute Prayer
What if we all prayed five minutes
a week for each other?
This week’s five-minute prayer focus:
Please pray for everyone in our parish, especially those who sad, lonely, or who have
given up hope, that God will send people to
comfort them and remind them of his love.
That would be 500 hours of prayer
P.10
Becoming Saints—The Best Version of Ourselves
Ivana T. Meshell, Director of Adult Faith Formation
What is a saint? In a general sense, a saint is anyone who has lived a holy life and now is in the presence of
God in heaven. Saints enjoy Beatific Vision (that is, the face-to-face experience of the presence of God). St.
Paul says in his first letter to the Corinthians (13:12) that at present, we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but
then face to face. At present, I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. This is the purpose
for which we were created: to share fully in the life of God. Sainthood is not a special privilege for a few; it
is the baptismal call of all who believe in God. We were created to become nothing less than saints,
and it’s not impossible. It’s definitely within our reach if we desire it.
In a strict sense, a saint is someone who is officially recognized by the Church as having lived a holy life and
has been deemed worthy of public veneration. These officially-recognized saints are canonized. In addition,
anyone who has lived a life of love, self-giving and goodness may be presumed to be with God in heaven and
therefore may be considered a saint. St. Paul used the term “saint” to refer to all the Christian faithful (II Cor.
13:12, Eph. 1:1--the New American Bible translates it as “all the holy ones”). For those who are still on our
pilgrim journey in this life, we might best call ourselves “saints in the making” or “saints in progress!” It is our
goal to become holy; the saints who are in God’s direct presence now offer us examples to imitate, and they
offer us hope that we, too, can become holy as they became holy. The Catechism of the Catholic Church
states: “All Christians in any state or walk of life are called to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection
of charity. All are called to holiness: “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt 5:48).*
Perfection is attained not by being God, but in being the best human persons we can be, the people God intended us to be. Matthew Kelly, in his book The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic, describes it as becoming
“The best version of ourselves”—which is very accessible to ordinary people! In this way, we become perfect Christians. Again, St. Paul says, “We know that in everything, God works for good with those who love
him” (Romans 8:28-30). Vatican Council II, 1962-1965 writes:
In order to reach this perfection, the faithful should use the strength dealt out to them by Christ’s gift, so
that...doing the will of the Father in everything, they may wholeheartedly devote themselves to the glory of God
and to the service of their neighbor. This the holiness of the People of God will grow in fruitful abundance, as is
clearly shown in the history of the Church through the lives of so many saints.
The primary characteristics of a saint are holiness of life and heroic virtue; miracles and wonders worked may
be, but are not necessarily, signs of saintliness. The saints themselves do not give us one model of holiness
but many. The variety of canonized saints shows that there are many ways to live the Christian life and many
ways to attain holiness. Saints come from all walks of life and provide many examples of following Christ
based on their different responses to the various challenges in their lives. The saints are examples of what
the grace of God can do when we turn our life over to God and let him be Lord of our life.
As Catholics, our devotion to the saints flows out of our belief in what we call the “Communion of Saints.”
When we pray the Apostles’ Creed, which expresses our basic Christian beliefs, we express our belief in this
“Communion of Saints” (here the term “saints” is used in its more general sense). This means we believe that
death does not break the bonds that tie us to one another. We believe that “love is stronger than
death” (Song of Songs 8:6). A spiritual union exists between us--those still here in this life and those who
have been received into union with God or soon will be in union with God. Vatican II redefined the relationship between saints and us who are living as one of “communion and solidarity” rather than “supplicant and
benefactor”. Saints, the Council said, offer an “example in their way of life, fellowship in their communion, and
aid by their intercession.” The Church encourages us to think of saints as one with us in seeking and fulfilling
God’s will.
It is precisely the element of human weakness that makes sainthood so powerful. In giving frail humans the
crown of holiness, the Church affirms that grace is a reality, and that there is hope for us all. Without saints,
sanctity could be viewed as a mere abstraction, something too lofty for mere mortals to attain. The training
ground of heroism, as in the lives of saints, is the practice of simple virtues in everyday life. What virtue can
you practice in your daily life this week? Remember what you were made for. Strive for nothing less.

Especialmente para nuestra Comunidad Hispana
Muchísimas gracias a todos los parroquianos: ¡El domingo pasado fue un día
muy divertido aquí en Santa María Magdalena a pesar de toda la lluvia! Fui testigo del
espíritu de comunidad por el cual nuestra parroquia es reconocida, ya que nuestros
parroquianos y amigos vinieron a disfrutar del día. Yo sé que el clima trató de desviarnos de disfrutar el día, pero no permitimos que eso pasara. Quiero darle un gran GRACIAS al presidente y co-presidente del comité del festival, al igual que todos los presidentes de los varios puestos y juegos. Expreso mi sincero aprecio a todos los voluntarios que trabajaron muy duro y también a todos los que tomaron parte en acomodar todo antes del
festival y ayudar a quitar todo después de que se acabó. Todos ustedes fueron increíbles, y me siento muy bendecido de ser parte de esta comunidad. Yo y el Padre Jude disfrutamos del día, al igual
que el Padre Tony y el Padre Emanuel que estaban experimentando nuestro festival por primera
vez. Yo quisiera expresar mi aprecio a todos nuestros patrocinadores y donantes por apoyar nuestro festival. Todos ustedes fueron maravillosos y le agradezco a Dios por todos ustedes. ¡Que Dios
los bendiga a todos!
La Solemnidad de Todos los Santos: Celebramos a todos los santos este domingo, ya que la
Iglesia honora a todos los que fueron fieles a Cristo y ahora comparten en su gloria en el cielo. En
los primeros días de la Iglesia, había tanta persecución que causó a muchos cristianos a ser testigos
de su fe a través de la muerte. (La palabra griega para “testigo” es “mártir”.) La Fiesta de Todos los
Santos comenzó, históricamente, como la Fiesta de Todos los Mártires en el siglo cuatro. En el siglo
ocho, se convirtió en la Fiesta de Todos los Santos, no solamente de los mártires. Muchos santos
tienen su día de fiesta en ciertos días del año en el calendario litúrgico de la Iglesia. Sin embargo,
hay muchos otros santos que la Iglesia no reconoce formalmente a través de la canonización. Yo
veo a la Fiesta de Todos los Santos como una fiesta para estos santos no-canonizados. Ahora, la
pregunta es, ¿Quién es un santo?
Como cristianos, entendemos que un santo es alguien que está en Cristo Jesús, que vive una vida
de santidad y es ejemplar. Todos nosotros somos llamados a ser santos. Todos somos llamados a la
santidad en los varios estados de nuestras vidas. Nuestras vidas como santos comienzan aquí en la
tierra y siguen hasta la eternidad con Dios. Por lo tanto, la Iglesia no hace santos; más bien, reconoce a santos (en el sentido de la canonización). Nosotros profesamos la “comunión de los santos”
en el credo, lo que quiere decir que la Iglesia es una comunión de santos. Somos santos en proceso
(la Iglesia activista, nosotros que estamos viviendo en el aquí y ahora y esforzándonos a ser santos),
santos en realidad (la Iglesia triunfante, aquellos que ya están en la presencia de Dios en el cielo), y
santos sometidos en purificación (la Iglesia en purificación en el purgatorio). Juntos somos la Iglesia, la comunión de los santos.
En el Día de Todos los Santos, celebramos las vidas de todos los grandes héroes de nuestra fe. Regocijamos en su victoria y les pedimos su intercesión para que nosotros también podamos ser victoriosos. Seguimos su fe y luchamos a seguir a Cristo tal como ellos lo hicieron. Hacemos esto al
vivir una vida de las bienaventuranzas, como están escritas en el evangelio de hoy, cambiando
nuestras actitudes para conformarnos a las enseñanzas de Cristo. ¡Que todos los santos oren por
nosotros!
Peregrinaje a la Tierra Santa: Del 4 al 12 de noviembre estaré haciendo mi primer peregrinaje
a la Tierra Santa junto con algunos parroquianos. Caminaremos en los pasos de Jesucristo en Belén, Nazaret, Cafarnaúm, Getsemaní, la Vía Dolorosa (el Viacrucis) y mucho más. Oren por nuestra
seguridad. Nosotros estaremos orando por las necesidades de cada parroquiano.
—Padre Felix
