TREASURES FROM
OUR TRADITION
ROSARY ALTAR SOCIETY AND
HOLY NAME SOCIETY
For several weeks, we have considered penance as a
sacrament of forgiveness, and yet there are two other
sacraments in this category. The first, of course, is the
Eucharist itself. The other is the sacrament of the sick, long
associated with penance. The Letter of James sets out the
deep tradition for caring for the sick; sending for the priests,
who will pray and lay their hands on the sick ones, anointing
them with oil, and giving them forgiveness. Long before other
rites of penance developed, the sacrament of the sick was
therefore a profound experience of forgiveness. Jesus often
healed the sick, nearly always as a visible sign of forgiveness
of sin. The tradition didn’t unfold smoothly, however, and
within a few centuries the oil of the sick was taken home to be
applied by caregivers as a salve, or even to be drunk as a
medicine. As early as the second century, bishops were
therefore urging that priests should be the ones to visit those
separated by illness from the Sunday assembly. Thus the
practice of consigning the Eucharist and the oil of the sick to
the non-ordained faithful to bring home was relatively shortlived.
Will meet Tuesday, November 18th. The Rosary will be
recited at 7:10PM in the Church with Mass immediately
following. The Mass will be offered for all deceased members
of the Altar Rosary and Holy Name Societies. An
administrative meeting will follow at 8PM in Msgr. Casey
Hall. The featured speaker for this meeting will be Mrs. Emer
O’Mahoney who will share thoughts of her pilgrimage to the
Holy Land in 2013. Titled “Where Jesus Walked, Shepherd of
my Soul,” Mrs. O’Mahoney will recount her personal,
spiritual conversion which culminated in this very remarkable
experience. Her observations will provide a special way to
begin preparing for Advent and the beginning of our
Liturgical year. All members of the Parish are welcome to
attend. Refreshments will be served following the meeting.

PARISHIONERS DECEASED IN THE
LAST 12 MONTHS
In a general audience on August 6, Pope Francis referenced
the Gospel of St. Matthew stating that Jesus tells us:
“That our Christian life will be judged on how we treat
him in the least of our brethren. In addition to the new
law, the Lord invites us to recognize Him in the poor, in
those who suffer, in those in need. We will be judged on
this at the end of our lives.”
Are you prepared to be judged?

NOVEMBER 9th
THE DEDICATION OF THE
LATERAN BASILICA
THE TEMPLE AND WORSHIP—In all of today’s readings,
the temple is prominently mentioned. Ezekiel speaks of streams
of living water flowing out from the temple, watering the desert, bringing life to all living people. Paul reminds the Corinthians that their faith rests upon the firmest of foundations,
Christ himself. More than that, Paul reveals that those who follow Christ are themselves temples, temples of the Holy Spirit;
that is, God dwells not only with them, but in them. For the
Jews of Jesus’ time, the temple had come to be identified with
the presence of God and the only place where authentic worship of God took place. Jesus had a different perception. Jesus
identified himself not with the temple, but as the temple. In so
doing, Jesus indicated a dramatic shift in what it means to worship God, to be in God’s presence. No longer was a place to be
the focus of prayer. Instead, a person, the person of Jesus
Christ, becomes the center of our worship.
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading—I saw water flowing out of the temple; wherever the river flows, every living creature shall live
(Ezekiel 47:1-2, 8-9, 12).
Second Reading—Do you know that you are the temple of
God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
(1 Corinthians 3:9c-11, 16-17).
Gospel-Destroy the temple and in three days I will raise it up
(John 2:13-22).
