In the month of November, a month dedicated to remembrance of the Holy Souls, it is important for us to reconsider this very important truth: those who are in Christ Jesus by virtue of Baptism are not dead-they are alive! This is the core teaching on the Communion of Saints. The Catholic teaching on the communion of saints rests on four pillars: 1) The Church is Christ’s Body; 2) Christ has only one Body, not one on earth and one in heaven; 3) Christians are not separated from each other by death; 4) Christians must love and serve each other. Let’s focus on the fact that death does not separate Christians. Because of Christ’s victory over death, a victory in which all Christians share, mere physical death can’t separate Christians from Christ or from each other. This is why St. Paul exults: “What will separate us from the love of Christ?......I am convinced that neither death, nor life……will be able to separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Rom 8:35-39) Hear that? Death does not separate us from our loved ones. This does not state that grief is not real. It is very real and it must be faced, but death does not have the final answer- St. Paul again: “Death, where is your victory, death where is your sting?” Consider the following words from Patrick Madrid, author of Any Friend of God’s Is a Friend of Mine: “Since death has no power to sever the bond of Christian unity, the relationship between Christians on earth and those in heaven remains intact. Therefore, when we read biblical passages about how members of the Body of Christ need each other or are obligated to assist and pray for one another, Catholics recognize that they apply to Christians in heaven, too. The Protestant animus against the idea that saints in heaven can or should pray for us stems from an ‘out of sight, out of mind’ mentality: ‘Since I no longer can see and speak to departed Christians, they must not no longer matter to me.’ This myopic position is not only not scriptural, it actually clashes with verses that Protestants know by heart. For example, St. Paul chides Christians who think they don’t need other Christians: God placed the parts, each one of them, in the body as He intended. If they were all one part, where would the body be? But as it is, there are many parts, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I do not need you.’ Nor again the head say to the feet, ‘I do not need you.’….God has so constructed the body as to give greater honor to a part that is without it, so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same concern for one another. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy.’” This November, let us remember that as we pray the Our Father and recite the words “on earth as it is in heaven” we say those words with all our dearly departed loved ones who have “finished the race” and are at home with the Lord. Death can wound us deeply but it does not have the final answer because of Jesus Christ. Our loved ones are much closer to us than we can imagine: cling to this fact because “I (we, you) can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Saints of God, pray for us!

Father Nagle Page Five Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time Introduction-Liturgy of the Word: Today we find ourselves confronted with the idea of resurrection and eternal life. In Jesus’ answer to the Sadducees, we get a hint that risen life is beyond our comprehension. If we believe in the “resurrection of the body and life everlasting,” do we show it in our lives by respecting our bodies and others’, by graciously welcoming all to our tables, by our passionate care for and about our neighbors and strangers? Let us pray today for the grace to live out our belief in the Resurrection. READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: Saturday: Sunday: Ti 1: 1-9 Lk 17: 1-6; Ps.
