A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR Dear Holy Apostles Parish Family,

Hopefully when you read this, the Cubs will

be getting closer to winning the World Series!

Two weeks ago, we started hosting PADS on

Sunday nights for 6 to 10 women. It has gone

very well and we have a core of great volun-

teers. Now it is time to grow this core into a

larger team. Trisha Rosga is the coordinator

and we could use a co coordinator.

PADS starts at 7 PM and concludes at 7AM.

We need help for:

Pick-up at the Crystal Lake Train station to

bring our guests to Holy Apostles

Set-up -Making dinner

Hosting our guests from 7 to 11 PM;

11 PM to 3 AM and 3 to 7AM (Clean-up)

It is a very rewarding ministry and an oppor-

tunity to reach out to women, especially in this

Year of Mercy. There will be people to answer

questions after Mass, so please consider join-

ing us. For more information please email to

rosga2002@yahoo.com.

Have a Blessed Week! Father Paul

HELP HURRICANE MATTHEW VICTIMS Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, President of the U.S.

Conference of Catholic Bishops, has written to

ask that a special collection be taken up to

benefit the people effected by the devastation

caused by Hurricane Matthew. He specifies

“These funds will be used to support the efforts

of Catholic Relief Services and Catholic Chari-

ties USA as they reach out to provide humani-

tarian aid in the

form of water,

food, shelter, and

medical care, as

well as to their

long-term efforts

to restore com-

munities after

widespread de-

struction, and to

the U.S. Confer-

ence of Catholic

Bishops for the

pastoral and

reconstruction

needs of the

Church in the Caribbean and the U.S.”

Your generous donations to today’s second

collection will help the people in the Hurricane

Matthew effected areas receive food, water,

shelter and help them recover and rebuild.

Thank you so much!

favorite saint. (Visit http://

will be exchanged after the

connection for your home or for a gift. The supplies are

gathered and painting is done on your own time but there

is no cost to join the exchange—simply a love of our

saints and a desire to share it! Questions? Contact

Misa de Vigilia 1 de Noviembre, En Conmemoración de todos los fieles

difuntos, a las 7:30 PM si algún familiar, amigo(a) falle-

ció recientemente o en este año 2016 escriba su nom-

bre y lo deposita en una canasta que estará disponible

en la entrada de la Iglesia, el nombre de la persona se-

rá mencionada y se prendera una vela en nombre de la

persona fallecida. La parábola del fariseo y el publi-

cano fue el centro de la nueva catequesis del Papa

Francisco en la que exhortó a no ser un corrupto que

juzga y desprecia al resto. Para el Pontífice, el fariseo

es un “corrupto” porque “es imagen de aquel que hace

como que reza pero en realidad no lo hace”. “Así, en

la vida quien se cree justo y juzga a los otros o los des-

precia es un corrupto y un hipócrita”.

“La soberbia compromete toda acción buena, vacía la

oración, aleja de Dios y de los otros”, aseguró.

Francisco explicó la parábola y contó que “ambos prota-

gonistas van al templo a orar, pero actúan de manera

diversa, obteniendo resultados opuestos”. El fariseo

“reza estando de pie y usa muchas palabras. Es una

oración de agradecimiento dirigida a Dios, pero en reali-

dad expone sus propios méritos, con sentido de supe-

rioridad hacia los otros hombres”.

El Papa destacó que precisamente el problema es que

“ora a Dios, pero en verdad se mira a sí mismo. Se reza

a sí mismo”.

“Ni siquiera en el templo siente la necesidad de pos-

trarse ante la majestad de Dios, permanece en pie, se

siente seguro, como si fuese el dueño del templo”, dijo

el Papa. En definitiva, “más que rezar, el fariseo se

complace de cómo cumple con los preceptos”, por lo

que “su actitud y sus palabras están alejadas del modo

de actuar y de hablar de Dios, el cual ama a todos los

hombres y no desprecia a los pecadores”, observó.

el Santo Padre indicó que “no es suficiente preguntar-

nos cuánto oramos, sino que debemos preguntarnos

cómo lo hacemos, o mejor, cómo es nuestro corazón:

es importante examinarlo para evaluar los pensamien-

tos, los sentimientos y extirpar la arrogancia y la hipo-

cresía”. El Papa advirtió entonces que “todos somos

presa del ritmo frenético de cada día” por lo que es

"necesario aprender a encontrar el camino hacia nues-

tro corazón, recuperar el valor de la intimidad y del si-

lencio, porque es ahí donde Dios nos encuentra y nos

habla.”

Veladora en la Capilla de Adoración Las veladoras en la capilla de Adoración que rodean al

Conclusión

"Creemos en la comunión de todos los que peregrinan

en la tierra, de los que se purifican después de muertos

y de los que gozan de la bienaventuranza celeste, y que

todos se unen en una sola Iglesia; y creemos igualmen-

te que en esa comunión está a nuestra disposición el

amor misericordioso de Dios y de sus santos, que

siempre ofrecen oídos atentos a nuestras oraciones.”

Hay Tres Estados en la Iglesia: 1.-La iglesia peregrina en la tierra, estos somos noso-

tros hasta el día de nuestra muerte.

2. La iglesia purgante (en el purgatorio), son los difun-

tos que aún no han ido al cielo. Por estos oramos el día

de los difuntos, el 2 de noviembre.

3. la iglesia triunfante, ya glorificada en el cielo, estos

son los santos que celebramos el 1 de Noviembre..

"Así pues, hasta que el Señor venga en su esplendor

con todos sus ángeles y, destruida la muerte, tenga

sometido todo, sus discípulos, unos peregrinan en la

tierra; otros ya difuntos, se purifican; mientras otros

están glorificados, contemplando 'claramente a Dios

mismo, uno y trino, tal cual es."

Dice el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, citando #49:

"Como todos los creyentes formamos un solo cuerpo,

es decir, (los del cielo y los de la tierra), el bien de los

unos se comunica a los otros... es, pues, necesario

creer que existe una comunión de bienes en la Iglesia.

Pero el miembro más importante es Cristo, ya que Él es

la cabeza... Así, el bien de Cristo es comunicado a todos

los miembros, y esta comunicación se hace por los sa-

cramentos de la Iglesia".

"La unión de los miembros de la Iglesia peregrina con

los hermanos que durmieron en la paz de Cristo de nin-

guna manera se interrumpe. Más, aún, según la cons-

tante fe de la Iglesia, se refuerza con la comunicación

de los bienes espirituales".

¿Qué significa? 1. Los santos interceden por nosotros:

Como ellos están más íntimamente unidos a Cristo,

consolidan más firmemente a toda la Iglesia en la santi-

dad... no dejan de interceder por nosotros ante el Pa-

dre. Presentan por medio de Jesucristo, los méritos que

adquirieron en la tierra a través de sus vidas de santi-

dad, de virtud, de buenas obras y de sufrimiento. Su

solicitud fraterna ayuda, pues nuestra debilidad.

2. La comunión de los santos:

No sólo veneramos el recuerdo de los del cielo como

modelos nuestros, sino, sobre todo, para que la unión

de toda la Iglesia en el Espíritu se vea forzada por la

práctica del amor fraterno.

Los santos no necesitan de nuestros honores, más sin

embargo, la veneración de su memoria redunda en pro-

vecho nuestro. Despierta en nosotros dos deseos:

3. La comunión con los difuntos:

"La Iglesia peregrina, perfectamente consciente de esta

comunión de todo el Cuerpo místico de Jesucristo, des-

de los primeros tiempos del cristianismo honró con

gran piedad el recuerdo de los difuntos y también ofre-

ció por ellos oraciones - pues es una idea santa y prove-

chosa orar por los difuntos para que se vean libres de

sus pecados - (2 Ma 12:45)"

Eternal God,

Our life is a fleeting shadow that does not endure. Our years pass

quickly, our days are few and full. We thank You that those who

have gone before us no longer have to face life’s pain or fear, that

for them suffering has ended and death itself has conquered as

they have passed from our earthly sight.

We thank You for the years of their presence among us and while

we feel the pain of their departing, we rejoice in the faith that You

have chosen them to be with You for eternal life in heaven. Amen.
