Life After Death

Life After Death
By Rev. Richard Barker My dear parishioners, in his soul, man images God alone among all creatures. God said, "Let us make man in our image, a er our likeness." [Gen 1:26] The ra onal immortal human soul comes into existence at concep on. The soul is the true form of the human person.
In our own me, the bishops of the Va can Council II (1962 ‐ 1965) wrote: "When (man) acknowledges in himself a spiritual and immortal soul, he is not the plaything of a decep ve fantasy resul ng only from his physical and social condi ons; rather he is ge ng at the very depth of reality.”
Hebrew scriptures tell us that human flesh "returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it". [Ecc 12:7] However, the gospel tes fies to the immortality of the soul for as Christ teaches, "Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell." [Mt 10:28] The great councils of the Church affirm what scripture teaches.
The human soul is pure spirit and by its very nature immortal. It is the sign of life and con nuity in the herea er. When the soul separates from the body in death, it lives forever. Its simplicity as pure spirit prevents it from being subject to decompo‐
si on. The mortal body, however, dissolves into its natural elements. According to the laws of nature, the flesh is subject to corrup on like all material things. At the end of me, in the parousia, Christ will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. The bodies of all the dead at the general judgment will rise and unite with their individual souls. Christ will judge the holiness of all human persons, the moral character (virtues) of their lives and their charity toward others.
Our Lord Jesus Christ taught that death is not only the end of earthly life, it simultaneously marks the end of one’s opportunity to accept or reject the divine grace: "...manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and … (con nued on page 5) brought life and immortality to light through the gospel". [2Tim 1:10] Thoughts on the Real Presence [Excerpt from St. John Vianney’s wri
ngs) … Ah! if we had the eyes of angels with which to see Our Lord Jesus Christ, who is here present on this altar, and who is looking at us, how we should love Him! We should never more wish to part from Him. We should wish to remain always at His feet; it would be a foretaste of Heaven: all else would become insipid to us. But see, it is faith we want. We are poor blind people; we have a mist before our eyes. Faith alone can dispel this mist. Presently, my children, when I shall hold Our Lord in my hands, when the good God blesses you, ask Him then to open the eyes of your heart; say to Him like the blind man of Jericho, "O Lord, make me to see!" If you say to Him sincerely, "Make me to see!" you will certainly obtain what you desire, because He wishes nothing but your happiness. He has His hands full of graces, seeking to whom to distribute them; Alas! and no one will have them. . . . Oh, indiffer‐
ence! Oh, ingra tude! My children, we are most unhappy that we do not understand these things! We shall understand them well one day; but it will then be too late! ... St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church, Huffman, Texas

NEW IN THE GIFT STORE!!
Hand made rosaries of the finest quality. Made using semi‐
precious stones, Swarovski crystal with gold ‘findings’ these rosaries were purchased for the community of St. Philip the Apostle in mind. Men, you will love the heavy rounded beads, spaced apart ; not crowded. The inspiring crucifix’s used are heavy bronze or silver metal. Also, lovely new rosary bracelets for the women and the young ladies of the parish. Come in to our ‘store’ and ask to see these lovely hand made rosaries. We would love to show them to you. ‐3‐ One should not walk out of the Mass during the "Our Fa‐
ther" prayer. We call it the Lord's Prayer for good reason. It is the prayer that Jesus Christ himself gave to the Church to pray in his name. The "Our Father" prayer is the most per‐
fect and sublime expression of the very mind of God. The "Our Father" is the "pearl without price". It is the summit of the Church's prayer in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. To pray the “Our Father” prayer in the assembly of God's peo‐
ple is the spiritually mature thing to do. In conscience, it's what the man and woman of faith must do. Holy Cross Chapel
Confirmation Class Updates
Daily Mass in Downtown Houston? It is available at Holy Cross Chapel, 906 Main Street, Houston. They are open from 9:00 am ‐ 4:00 pm, and offer Mass at 11:35 am and 12:15 pm. Confession and spiritual direc on are also availa‐
ble during the day. In addi on they have a bookstore providing excellent spiritual reading, gree ng cards, and religious ar cles. For more info, call the Chapel at 713‐650‐

Dear St. Philip’s family, Recently our class was blessed to have Jacob and Chris ne Kasper guest lecture a lesson on the Catholic Profession of Faith. The Kasper’s are not new to the Confirma on teaching team. They were members of the team during the previous Confirma on class faith journey. The Kasper’s stepped out of teaching while awai ng their youngest son’s birth. We were excited to have them join us for this lesson. The Nicene Creed states what we believe as Catholics about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. It is based on Scripture and helps us to reaffirm our faith and solidarity as Catholics. Most of us cradle Catholics learned this prayer by rote. This means that we learned to recite the prayer by saying it over and over. The Nicene Creed is prayed during Mass as a con‐
grega on statement. We say it as one united body of Catho‐
lics. The Kasper’s were clever in introducing the Profession of Faith as a Catholic Anthem or Alma Mater. We speak the unifying words WE BELIEVE in one God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Do you stop to think about what you are praying when joining your fellow parishioners in sta ng this truth? How much do you know about the Nicene Creed? One of our goals as Confirma on teachers is to help the Confirm‐
andi understand that they are not just saying words when praying. We are asking for special blessings and accep ng the graces and responsibili es of being Catholic. Our faith father’s were concerned that frac ons could occur in our faith founda on. The Nicene Creed states clearly what we hold true and firm in our hearts. The next me you state these truths think about what you are saying and consider the graces given by this prayer. Sincerely in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Lyne e Zaunbrecher, Confirma on Coordinator St. Mar n of Tours, Pray for Us!
Feast Day: November 11th
Patron Saint of Soldiers
Prayer for Veterans Day
Heavenly Father, We ask for blessings on all those who have served their country in the armed forces. We ask for healing for the veterans who have been wounded, in body and soul, in conflicts around the globe. We pray especially for the young men and women, in the thousands, who are coming home with injured bodies and trauma zed spirits. Bring sol‐
ace to them, O Lord; may we pray for them when they can‐
not pray. We ask for, echoing Pope Saint John Paul II of Blessed Memory, an end to wars and the dawning of a new era of peace, as a way to honor all the veterans of past wars. Bless all the soldiers who served in non‐comba ve posts; may their calling to service con nue in their lives in many posi ve ways. We pray for those who serve us now, especially for those in harm’s way: shield them from danger and bring them home. Have mercy on all our veterans. Bring peace to their hearts and peace to the regions they fought in. Give us all the crea ve vision to see a world which, grown weary with figh ng, moves to affirming the life of every hu‐
man being and so moves beyond war. Lord hear our prayer. Amen ‐4‐ Sacred Heart School Box Top Dona ons

from the Women’s Guild and our Pastor
Life A er Death (con nued from front page)
At the very moment of a person’s death, his or her soul goes before God for immediate par cular judgment to answer for the moral character of life. "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive good or evil, according to what he has done in the body." [2Cor 5:10] While all souls go before God in judgment of faith and good works, not all have the same des ny. Many souls will enter the blessedness of heaven, either immediately or a er a period of purga on (purifica on). Sadly, many souls will go to immediate and everlas ng damna on. God, who is all love, did not create hell as he created heaven. Hell is the final and absolute gathering of all sinners who die in corrup on having denied the goodness of God. It is not God but rather the unrepentant sinner who chooses the horror of being u erly self‐absorbed and totally trapped within the com‐
munion of everlas ng hatred. The souls of all those who are judged worthy of heaven will behold the Father's glory with unveiled faces in perfect free‐
dom. Sharing in the fullness of Christ’s own resurrec on from the dead, nothing will ever again separate these souls from the magnificence of God's glory. Souls in heaven forever will enjoy the direct, intui ve knowledge of God that characterizes the life of the angels. There is life a er death! But where will it be for us? Will it be heaven or hell? We must choose and choose decisively. No one may excuse himself from the responsibility of his human free will, nor may he opt out of the far‐reaching consequences of his decisions. Therefore, let us be: "...faithful over God's house as a son; and we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in our hope". [Heb 3:6] "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heav‐
en." [Gen 28:17] Knowing not the day or hour of the return of Our Lord in glory, seize the hope that Christ holds out before you! Choose defini‐
vely for Christ now! Choose, as your habit of life, the light of Divine Truth and service in faithful discipleship. For God has promised that your acceptance will merit his blessing and he will make you frui ul. "We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul" [Heb 6:19], a hope which has its origins in the unspeakable transcendent love of God. Sincerely in the hearts of Jesus and Mary. Your pastor, Reverend Richard Barker. If you are late to Mass, please wait reverently for a few moments with the ushers in front of the glass doors lead‐
ing into the worship area un l the congrega on starts singing the “Gloria”. Please refrain from leaving Mass un l the closing hymn is finished. When it is finished Mass has come to a close. Thank you, Father Barker
When wearing lips ck, keep in mind the prac cal and hygienic needs of parishioners and our Extraordinary Eu‐
charis c Ministers of Holy Communion. Heavy lips ck strongly adheres to the gold chalices and linen purificators. This makes it very hard for us to purify the chalices for the next persons in the communion line during Mass. And it’s especially difficult to clean the linen purificators a er Mass.

‐5‐ 1478 Receiving Holy Communion
DJM Corner
When you receive Communion during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, it is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ that you are receiving. Holy Communion, in the Catholic Church, is reserved for those who have received the sacrament of First Holy Communion, have been catechized (taught) in our Catholic faith and have made a profession of faith. One should abstain from Holy Communion if they are in mortal sin and have not received the sacrament of reconcilia on. If you are not Roman Catholic or are in need
of the Sacrament of Reconcilia on, we ask that you refrain
from receiving Holy Communion in the Mass. However, you
may go up to one of the ministers for a blessing when Holy
Communion is being offered. By crossing your hands over
your heart, the Priest or Eucharis c minister will know to give
you the blessing. Fr. Santan Pinto SOLT
Disciples of Jesus and Mary Founder
He called a child over, placed it in their
midst, and said, Amen, I say to you,
unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom
of heaven”
– Mt 18:2-3
Steps in Li leness
“There are 50 simple steps in li leness. Try them one step at a me. Look at your struggles and tempta ons. You will find one step that will suit you the most at that stage in your life. Do not hurry – remember you’re li le!” Step 9 (con nued)
Also, if you choose to receive only the Blessed Sacrament and not from the Chalice, it is fi ng nevertheless to pause for a moment to honor Christ’s presence in the Precious Blood—with an appropriate sign of devo on. We would not think to pass a friend on the street without some acknowledgement. Our Lord Jesus Christ deserves no less, and most assuredly, a great deal more. LET THE LORD FIGHT YOUR BATTLES, DEAL WITH YOUR
PROBLEMS AND DIRECT YOUR DECISIONS
Know that the Lord is present in every struggle, trial, and
tempta on
“Come to me all you who labor and are weary, and I will give you rest.”  You will understand the problem and find solu ons easily.  Accept problems as challenges and know that “His grace is sufficient for you.”  Consider whether you allow others to influence your decisions.  Involve the Lord in your daily decisions: the big and small alike.  Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all will be given to you. “May the li le child Jesus bless you and accompany you on your journey” -Fr.
