ST. ELIZABETH CATHOLIC CHURCH
WE LONG TO SEE GOD’S FACE
“Lord, this is the people that
longs to see your face.” This antiphon for today’s responsorial
psalm offers the focus for today’s
readings. As we on earth celebrate
the triumph of all the saints the
ones officially canonized by the
Church, and the countless others
who have also reached heaven—we
add nothing to their glory. But we
give ourselves reason to hope. We too long to see the face of
God and believe that we can one day be counted among
those whose robes, as John tells us in the book of Revelation, are washed “white in the blood of the Lamb.”
The passage from John’s First Letter offers further assurance: we are God’s children who will one day see God.
But today’s Gospel pulls us past longing and reassurance
into action. Jesus clearly tells us what we must do to be
counted among the saints. We must be poor in spirit, hungry
for holiness, merciful, single-hearted, and peacemakers!
Then we too will see the face of God.

ANHELAMOS VER EL ROSTRO DE DIOS
“Esta es la raza de los que buscan tu rostro Señor”. Esta
antífona para el salmo responsorial de hoy brinda el tono de la
lecturas de hoy. Cuando en la tierra celebramos la victoria de
todos los santos, de los que están canonizados oficialmente por
la Iglesia y de los sinnúmero que también han llegado al cielo, no
sumamos nada a su gloria. Sino que recibimos un motivo más
para tener esperanzas. Nosotros, también, anhelamos ver el
rostro de Dios y creemos que un día podremos estar entre
aquellos cuyas túnicas, como nos dice Juan en el libro del Apocalipsis, han sido lavadas y blanqueadas “con la sangre del Cordero”.
El pasaje de la primera carta del apóstol San Juan nos
garantiza que somos hijos de Dios y un día veremos a Dios tal
cual es. Pero el Evangelio de hoy nos hace pasar del anhelo y
la certeza a la acción. Jesús nos dice claramente qué debemos
hacer para estar entre los santos. Debemos ser pobres de
espíritu, misericordiosos, limpios de corazón, tener hambre y
sed de justicia y trabajar por la paz. Entonces, nosotros también veremos el rostro de Dios.
IGLESIA CATÓLICA DE SANTA ELIZABETH

Monitor online activity on all devices
In the past, parents had been advised to place the family
computer in an open area such as a kitchen or family room so
that they may easily monitor activity. Today, most social contact, especially among young people, is conducted almost exclusively on smart phones and tablets. Technology continues to
rapidly change. All of us must continue our efforts to stay
abreast of the many new mobile device apps that may be used
by young people to communicate with others and could potentially be used to manipulate or abuse them. For a copy of the
VIRTUS® article “Mobile App Danger,” email: [email protected].
¿SABIA USTED?
Monitoree en línea la actividad de todos los aparatos
En el pasado, se ha advertido a los padres de familia que
coloquen la computadora de la familia en un área abierta como
la cocina o el cuarto de descanso familiar para que ellos puedan
monitorear con facilidad toda actividad. En la actualidad, la
mayor parte del contacto social, especialmente entre los
jóvenes, es conducida casi exclusivamente a través de los
teléfonos celulares y las tabletas. La tecnología continúa
cambiando rápidamente. Todos debemos continuar nuestros
esfuerzos de mantenernos informados sobre las muchas
nuevas aplicaciones para aparatos móviles que pueden ser
usados por las personas jóvenes para comunicarse con otros, y
que potencialmente pueden ser usados para manipular o abusar
a jóvenes. Para una copia del artículo en VIRTUS® “Mobile

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Eight hundred years ago, the church’s practice of penance
underwent major revision as theologians, called scholastics, reflected on the practice of their day. By then, penance was normally a very secret rite, celebrated completely apart from the
community. Public penance had mostly disappeared behind the
walls of monasteries and the cloister grills of convents. The
scholastics trimmed penance down to bare essentials, even
sweeping aside age‑old traditions like a laying on of hands and
prayers of absolution. All that was left was the confessor’s simple statement, “Ego te absolvo,” “I absolve you.”
In 1614 a new ritual book tried to make penance more public
and solemn. It suggested, but did not require, that the priest
wear a surplice and stole, and hear the confession in a confessional. For the first time, we have the directive that the priest
be separated from the penitent by a screen, a rule that some
bishops applied very strictly. By the 1940s, large numbers of
Catholics availed themselves of the sacrament of confession
every Saturday, and most people thought confession was a prerequisite for Communion. In some urban parish churches, confessionals were staffed, usually by the junior priest, for several
hours every day, even during the celebration of Mass. It is remarkable how quickly things changed, but as we have seen, the
system has collapsed before and what often comes next is an
impulse of the Spirit, new life, and a fresh start.

BOOKMARK CONTEST
Congratulations to the winners of the 2015 St. Elizabeth Knights of Columbus Respect Life bookmark contest. Sophie Barisano, 5th grade, and Claire Cook, 7th
grade, made bookmarks with clear bold messages about
respect for all human life. Their bookmarks will be available free at the parish center and after Mass.
SVDP HOLIDAY FUND DRIVE
The St. Elizabeth
Conference of St. Vincent de Paul invites you
to share in our Thanksgiving Food Drive program. In working very
closely with the needy of our parish community, we have
found that many families celebrate Thanksgiving with a variety of food, adding their own unique touch to the holiday.
Therefore, instead of requesting contributions of nonperishable food items for the more than fifty families we
support, we are asking parishioners to simply provide a monetary contribution to our Conference. The money we raise will
allow us to purchase restricted Ralphs grocery gift certificates, a type which excludes alcohol and tobacco sales, thus
allowing each family to select food items which meet their
individual needs for celebrating the holiday. In order to do
this, we estimate that we will need to raise at least $4,000
this Thanksgiving. We thank you for your tremendous support throughout the year, and ask that you continue with
your generosity and support our Thanksgiving Food Program.
Checks should be made payable to St. Elizabeth SVDP, and
can be either submitted or mailed to the parish center, attention Deacon Charles Mitchell, SVDP Treasurer. The parish mailing address is St. Elizabeth Church, 1879 N. Lake
Ave., Altadena, CA 91001. You may also place your contribution in the collection basket, in an envelope made out to
SVDP- St. Elizabeth Conference, Holiday Fund Drive. All
contributions are tax deductible, and we ask that they be
provided no later than November 16th. God bless you and
your commitment to the needy of our parish community. Our
Conference members, as well as those you help. will keep you
always in their prayers.

National Black Catholic History Month
November is National Black Catholic
History Month and Tuesday is the feast
of Saint Martin de Porres (1579-1639), a
Dominican lay brother from Lima,
Peru. St. Martin is known for his deep
love for Jesus and his Blessed Mother,
his love and care for everyone in need-regardless of status, his amazing gifts
of healing, and spiritual counsel. He
worked for peace and understanding
among all groups in society, and even communicated well with
animals. He is a model for us of how to fulfill the corporal and
spiritual works of mercy. Read more about him in Saints of
Africa by Vincent J. O'Malley, C,M., Our Sunday Visitor Publishing Division (2001).
CROP WALK
The CROP Walk is an annual Pasadena
area event sponsored by Church World
Service which raises funds to find solutions to world hunger due to disasters and lack of resources. A portion
of the proceeds benefits local food banks, including our St.
Vincent de Paul Society. The walk, which is a 5K stroll down
Foothill Blvd., with a 3K option, will take place on Sunday,
November 8, at 1:00 at Flintridge Prep in La Canada. In
addition to the walk there will be activities, music, prizes,
snacks and food trucks, making this a wonderful
event. Please consider being part of the St. Elizabeth
Team as a walker, sponsor or donor. Look for the CROP
walk table in the patio today. Thank you for your support.
DID YOU KNOW?
Trick-or-treat safely
Halloween is a great night to go out, dress up,
have fun, and eat treats. Halloween is also an important time to go over safety rules. Tell your kids to
stay with the adults when they’re trick-or-treating,
and to keep with the group when they go up to
neighbors’ doors. If you are the adult responsible for
the group, make sure you know exactly who is in your
group, and what they’re wearing. For more Halloween
safety tips, visit http://www.safekids.org/tip/

¿SABÍA USTED?
Un seguro ‘trick-or-treat’
La noche de Halloween es perfecta para salir,
vestir un disfraz, y comer dulces. Halloween es
también un momento perfecto para repasar algunas
reglas de seguridad. Dígale a sus niños que se
mantengan cerca del grupo de adultos que son
responsables para acompañarlos al ‘trick-or-treat’. Si
usted forma parte de este grupo, asegúrese de saber
exactamente quién hace parte de su grupo, y que
están vistiendo como disfraz. Para más datos en

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En el Evangelio de san Mateo se encuentra el sermón mas
largo de Jesucristo. Abarca tres capítulos y contiene una serie de instrucciones para quienes desean ser sus discípulos. El
famoso Sermón de la Montaña, es para Jesús y los cristianos
lo que los Diez Mandamientos son para Moisés y los judíos.
Jesús proclama la nueva Ley. La Ley de Israel se sintetiza en
los Diez Mandamientos, mientras que la ley cristiana se resume en ocho bienaventuranzas.
Estas bienaventuranzas son algo extrañas ya que unen
cosas completamente opuestas a la felicidad, y las beatifica.
Es decir, son cosas aparentemente contradictorias: “Dichosos
los que lloran”; “felices los pobres”; “bendito tú cuando te calumnien por causa mía”. Jesús toma lo que la sociedad maldice
y lo convierte en camino de bendición, porque nuestros caminos y pensamientos no son los de Dios. Dios ve mucho más de
lo que podemos ver o imaginar. Por eso las bienaventuranzas
son ocho y no diez, porque más que una ley para cumplir, las
bienaventuranzas son la esperanza de un nuevo día. Son la
promesa de un nuevo inicio para la humanidad, gracias a Dios.
