Prayer for The Year of Mercy Pope Francis
Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: "If you knew the gift of God!"
You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind.
We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy, you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.

FEATURED NEWS
One Faith, One Parish, My Share Last weekend, the in-pew process for this year’s One Faith, One Parish, My Share campaign was conducted. Parishioners who were not here to complete a response card are invited to make their commitment through the parish website (isthmuscatholic.org). The information that you need may be found in the large news box on the homepage. If you would like to give by Electronic Funds Transfer, the button entitled “Give by EFT” will take you to the required form. That form should be printed out, signed, and returned with a voided check to the parish office. If you would like to give by credit card, that can very conveniently be done directly through the website. Again, look in that featured news box on the homepage and use the “Give by credit card” button. If you are a parishioner who donates by offertory envelopes, you can follow up doing that through the website as well, by using the button marked “Make a commitment.” If you prefer not to use the parish website, response cards are available in the parish kiosk (at the back of Holy Redeemer or in the narthex at St. Pat-rick). Fill out the card, and put it into the collection or return it to the parish office soon! We are eager to report of the results of this year’s appeal!
Healing Mass – Monday, November 7th Our Cathedral Parish is hosting a Healing Mass at St Patrick Church this Monday, November 7th, at 7:00 pm. The celebrant will be Fr. Aniello Salicone, a Xavierian priest currently stationed in Franklin, Wiscon-sin. All are welcome and invited to attend. Born in Italy in 1940, Fr. Salicone has served as a missionary priest in Italy, London, West Africa, and many states in America, including St. Therese Parish in Chinatown, Chicago. Fr. Salicone believes that forgiveness and reaching out to others is fundamental to healing. Over the years he has witnessed miraculous healings, including paralyzed individuals who have walked in his pres-ence, and blind individuals who have been able to perceive objects around them for the first time. "I don't heal. God does it," he stresses. He says that he is simply an instrument through which God's power flows. After the Mass, Father will give a thought provoking and humor-ous presentation on God's infinite love for each of us. This will be fol-lowed by individual healing prayer for all those in attendance who de-sire it. Reserve the date and bring your family and friends. The Rosary will be prayed at 6:35 pm, prior to the Mass. There will be a reception downstairs immediately following the healing service.
Closing of the Holy Doors Next Sunday In observance of the Jubilee Year of Mercy, there have been Holy Doors in cathedrals and other important churches throughout the world. These are to be closed next Sunday, November 13th, one week prior to the con-clusion of the Jubilee Year, when Pope Francis will close the principal Holy Door in Rome. The 11:00 am Mass at St. Patrick next Sunday will include a brief ritual for celebrating the end of the Jubilee Year and the closing of the Holy Doors.

FROM THE RECTOR
Dear Friends in Christ:
NATIONAL VOCATIONS AWARENESS WEEK begins today. Here at the Cathedral Parish, we don’t need to just think about vocations in the abstract, we have faces to associate with this intention. Bishop Morlino’s office has recently confirmed dates that will mark milestones in the vocational journeys of three of our fellow parishioners. More de-tails about each event will be forthcoming as it draws closer, but this is an opportune time to announce these dates.
On December 4th, Chris Schmelzer will be installed as a lector at the regular 11:00 am Sunday Mass – a step on the path to his ordination as a permanent deacon. Chris has begun the fourth year in the five-year process of formation for the diaconate.
On Saturday, February 11th, Bishop Morli-no will celebrate a special Mass (at 1:30 pm) at which Karen Paschke will be conse-crated as a Virgin.
And finally, the date has been set for the diaconate ordination of our seminarians on their way to the priesthood. God willing, that will in-clude Grant Thies of our parish. That ordination of transitional dea-cons will take place on Easter Tuesday – April 18th – at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Monona.
During this observance of National Vocations Awareness Week, we also remember the other people from our parish who in formation or dis-cernment.
Stephen Brunner and Clint Olson of our parish are both currently in their 2nd Year of Theology – one year behind Grant. Steve is studying at Mount St. Mary Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland, while Clint is at St. Paul Seminary in the Twin Cities.
Todd Burud is currently in his second of five years of formation for or-dination to the diaconate.
Sr. Joanna McCormick, OP, was a member of our parish while working in Madison several years ago. Sr. Joanna professed her first vows as a Dominican Sister in Nashville in 2013. Sr. Joanna is currently teaching at Knoxville (TN) Catholic High School. She renewed her simple vows in 2016, and will be eligible to make Solemn Profession (final vows) in 2018.
In more good news, one young man of our parish is currently in the application process for acceptance as a seminarian for our diocese.
And finally, some of you may notice the absence of Morgan Smith, who has been very active in parish life since she went through the RCIA pro-cess in 2012. Morgan is currently away from Madison, engaged in very serious discernment about her vocation. So let us keep her in our pray-ers as well!
The Good Lord has been so very good to us here at the Cathedral Parish!
Msgr. Kevin D. Holmes

Our first session is Tuesday, Nov. 8th from 6:30-8:30 pm at St. Patrick church. All adults are invited to join us as Msgr.

AÑO DE LA MISERICORDIA Para los que se fueron el mejor de los recuerdos. Qué gratificante y consolador es poder pensar, por el don de la fe y la virtud de la esperanza, que aunque ya no estén a nuestro lado los seres queridos, ellos viven con su propia identidad en la presencia de Dios y abogan por nosotros. A ellos podemos acudir en nuestras dificultades para que por su intercesión logremos y alcance-mos la paz en las angustias o penas por las que frecuentemente tenemos que atravesar en esta vida. Por esto y por muchas cosa más es que la religión católica es tan completa y hermosa. Na-da de lo que hay en el corazón del hombre deja Dios sin satisfacer. El mayor de los anhelos de la humanidad es no morir. Permanecer siempre, ser inmortal. Y esto es lo que Cristo nos promete cuando nos dice: "Yo soy el Camino, la Verdad y la Vida, el que cree en mí, vivirá para siempre". Cristo pasó por la muerte. Murió, pero resucitó. Vencedor de la muerte, soberano de la Vida. Creer en la resurrección de los muertos ha sido, desde sus comienzos, un elemento esencial de la Fe cristiana. No hay reencarnación. Tenemos una sola vida desde nuestra concepción hasta siempre. "La resurrección de los muertos es la esperanza de los cristianos; somos cristianos por creer en ella". Se-gún la vida va pasando, los seres que amamos van partiendo.... algún día sabemos que nos tocará a nosotros. Como los árboles que en el otoño dejan caer sus hojas, así de los troncos familiares y sus ramas las perso-nas se van. Ya no están con nosotros, los abuelos, los tíos, los padres, el esposo o la esposa, a veces algún retoño fresco y nuevo también le toca irse...tal vez es entonces cuando más duele, cuando más difícil es la dis-ponibilidad para la aceptación. Dios conoce el corazón del ser humano, sabe de ese sufrir originado por "esa partida", a veces sorpresiva y si tomando ese dolor se lo entrega-mos, El ha de poner en nuestro corazón el consuelo sobrenatural, pues de no ser así, hay separaciones tan dolorosas que humanamente no se-rían soportables. Un día de noviembre, un día triste y gris, lleno del va-cío que dejan los seres queridos cuando se van, leí algo que trajo a mi alma consuelo profundo e inolvidable. Decía así: "No es que se han muerto, se fueron antes. Lloras a tus muertos con un desconsuelo tal que pareciera que tú eres eterno. Tu im-paciencia se agita como loba hambrienta, ansiosa de devorar enigmas. ¿Pues no has de morir tu un poco después y no has de saber por fuerza la clave de todos los problemas que acaso es de una diáfana y deslum-bradora sencillez? Déjalos siquiera que sacudan el polvo del camino. Dé-jalos siquiera que restañen en el regazo del Padre las heridas de los pies andariegos. Déjalos siquiera que apacienten sus ojos en las verdes prade-ras de la paz. El tren aguarda, ¿por qué no preparas tu equipaje? Esta será más práctica y eficaz tarea. El ver a tus muertos es de tal ma-nera cercano e inevitable, que no debes alterar con la menor prontitud las pocas horas de tu reposo. Ellos en un concepto cabal del tiempo, cu-yas barreras transpusieron de un solo ímpetu, también te aguardan tran-quilos. Tomaron únicamente uno de los trenes anteriores. No es que se hayan muerto: se fueron antes".

Se fueron antes y nos dejaron el vacío profundo y doloroso de su parti-da pero al mismo tiempo la inexorable verdad de que un día también nosotros partiremos y de esa partida lo único y más importante es la imagen que dejaremos a los que se quedan, el recuerdo del testimonio que dimos de nuestro paso por esta vida, de nuestra ternura, de nuestra comprensión, de nuestro amor. De eso, solamente de eso es de lo que nos debemos de preocupar: del ejemplo de amor a Dios, de honestidad, de misericordia y bondad que dejaremos como el mejor de los recuerdos.
Padre José Luis Vázquez

Misa de Sanación—Lunes 11-7 Nuestra Parroquia de la Catedral será anfitriona de una Misa de Sanación en la Iglesia de St. Patrick este lunes 7 a las 7:00 pm. El celebrante es Fr. Aniello Salicone. Todos están invitados y son bienvenidos a asistir y participar. Fr. Salicone cree que el perdón y llegar a los demás es fundamental para la curación. A través de los años ha sido testigo de curaciones milagro-sas, incluyendo personas paralizadas que han caminado en su presencia, y personas ciegas que han sido capaces de percibir objetos a su alrededor por primera vez. “Yo no sano. Dios es quien sana,” manifiesta Fr. Salicone, él dice que es simplemente un instrumento por medio del cual fluye el Poder de Dios. Fr. Salicone siente que Dios le ha llamado a este ministe-rio especial, y le ha hablado muchas veces sobre Su amor por nosotros, y lo que Él nos pide. Nos comparte: “El Señor me dijo un día, ‘Hijo, Quiero decirle a la gente ¡cuanto amo a cada uno de ellos!’ Y yo estoy tratando de cumplir con la misión que Él me encomendó” Después de Misa, Padre dará una sugerente y humorística presentación en el Amor infinito de Dios por cada uno de nosotros. Después de la pre-sentación, habrá oración de sanación individual para todas aquellas perso-nas que lo deseen. Se recitara el Rosario a las 6:30 pm, antes de la Misa.

Oración Pidiendo Vocaciones Religiosas
“Oh Dios de toda bondad, bendice a nuestros sacerdotes, a través de quienes escuchamos Tu Palabra y recibimos Tus sacramentos.
Que Tu Espíritu Santo continúe inspirando vocaciones para nuestra diócesis. Reaviva en nosotros, oh Señor, la llama de Tu amor, de manera que a medida que viertes Tus dones sobre nosotros, sea posible que, co-mo buenos administradores, utilicemos estos dones para Tu gloria y apoyemos a nuestros seminaristas en su formación para el sacerdo-cio mientras sacrifican sus vidas a Ti para nuestro beneficio.
Te lo pedimos por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Tu Hijo, quien vive y reina contigo en la uni-dad del Espíritu Santo, y es Dios, por los si-glos de los siglos.” Amén
