Dear St. Matthew Parish Community,
November and the “Last Things”
Each year during the month of November the Church’s liturgy and popular devotion turn our attention to the Four Last Things: death, judgment, heaven and hell. This is no morbid fascination, but a so-ber reminder of the transitory nature of this world and an annual call to Christian hope. We begin the month celebrating the saints in glory on the Solemnity of All Saints. On Nov. 2, we observe the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls Day) and later in the month, on the last Sunday of the liturgical year, we cele-brate the triumphant Solemnity of Christ the King. Though we may rarely ponder these realities, they are inescapable for each of us. Trying to live in denial of them is impossible and it only shrouds our live in a dark shadow. However, on the contrary, the traditions of November remind us of the eternal destiny of joy that God has prepared for us in Christ and the eternal consequenc-es of turning our back on God’s love. St. John of the Cross wrote, “In the evening of our life, we shall be judged on our love.” Perfect love will make possible our immediate entrance into heaven. Imper-fect love will require purification. The ultimate rejection of divine love will mean eternal separation from God. God has made us for heaven, where we will enjoy the perfect ful-fillment of all human longing in supreme and eternal happiness. We are called to this blessedness. (Continued on page 2)
"Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God." -- Matthew 22:21

November and the “Last Things” (cont’d)
We are summoned to be saints. We cannot even begin to imagine the joy God has prepared for us in heaven. The bible uses images such as a wedding banquet to offer us a glimpse of the joy and happiness of heaven. We know that in heaven we will enjoy perfect communion in love with the most Holy Trinity and all of the angels and saints. Jesus has opened the gates of heaven for us by his death for our sins and his resurrection from the dead. To assist us in focusing our sights on this joyful end and in our prayer that loved ones reach it along with us, the Church has gathered various traditions into the month of November and into early Advent of December. Here are some that we have scheduled at St. Matthew’s this year. All Soul’s Offertory Envelopes: Beginning this weekend and throughout the month of November, the faithful are invited to write the names of our beloved dead and place them in the box provided near
the pulpit. These individuals will be included in the prayers of the parish throughout the month.
The Names of Those Who Have Died in the Past Year: A scroll with the names of those who were buried from St. Matthew’s Church during the past 12 months will solemnly be placed at the Baptismal Font, where we are reminded of St. Paul’s words: “We were indeed buried with Christ through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life” (Romans 6:4)
All Saints Day: November 1 (A holy day of obligation): Tuesday Vigil Masses - October 31 at 5:00pm in English and 7:00pm in Spanish; Wednesday Masses - November 1 at 6:30am, 8:15am, and 12:05pm in English and 7:00pm in Spanish.
All Souls Day: November 2 (Not a holy day of obligation): Thursday Masses: 6:30am and 12:05pm in English and 7:00pm in Spanish.
Mass and Reception for the Families of Those Who Died during the Past 12 Months: Saturday, November 11 at 12:05pm.
Life Care Planning Resources: Saturday November 18 from 3:30pm – 5:00pm. Professionals will be available to speak with you individually about Estate Planning, Advanced Care Directives, Funeral Arrangements, and Bereavement. Everyone breathes easier and more gracefully when these arrangements are made in advance. November and these special events should remind us to prayerfully contemplate the direction of our lives by considering eternity and where our lives are leading us: toward God, or away from Him? What changes in the direction of my life and my planning need to be made?
November truly is a month of the "Last Things," but because it so profoundly reminds us of the love and mercy offered us by God – it truly is, a month of hope! Msgr. John Talesfore, Pastor
A Prayer for California Wildfire Victims Most Holy God, We hold our hands and hearts up to you for our families and friends, our homes and our land, our neighbors and those we do not yet know in this time of need.
All are gifts from you and we grieve our loss, fear the days ahead, and long for relief.
Now is a time of danger and suffering and so we beg deliverance from the wind and the fires that damage and kill.
Bless now, especially, those who fight these flames in our midst. Keep them safe and strong in the protection of our community.
Bless, too, the generous persons who make room for the displaced in their homes. Shelter those who are bereft of their homes; give solace to those who have lost so much.
Enlighten us with your holy grace and suffer us not to be separated from You, the Creator and Lover of all. We ask all this in Christ’s name. AMEN
We invite you to visit the prayer space provided for the victims of California fires. You can write the names of individuals, families and insti-tutions impacted by the fires and place the post-its on the pillars. Msgr. J T

St. Matthew Catholic Church 5 October 22, 2017 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Queridos Parroquianos de St. Matthew, Noviembre y “Las Ultimas Cosas”
Cada año durante el mes de noviembre, la liturgia y la devoción popular de la Iglesia dirigen nuestra atención a las Cuatro Ultimas Cosas: la muerte, el juicio, el cielo y el infierno. Esta no es una fascinación mórbida, sino un sobrio recordatorio de la naturaleza transitoria de este mundo y un llamado anual a la esperanza Cristiana. Comenzamos el mes celebrando a los santos en gloria en la solemnidad de todos los santos (1ero. de noviembre) El 2 de noviembre, observamos la Conmemoración de Todos los Fieles Difuntos y más tarde en el mes, el último domingo del año litúrgico, celebramos la solemnidad triunfante de Cristo Rey. Aunque rara vez podemos ponderar estas realidades, son ineludibles para cada uno de nosotros. Intentar vivir en la negación de ellos es imposible y solo envuelve nuestra vida en una sombra oscura. Sin embargo, por el contrario, las tradiciones de noviembre nos recuerdan el destino eterno de la alegría que Dios nos ha preparado en Cristo y las consecuencias eternas de volver la espalda al amor de Dios. San Juan de la Cruz escribió: "En la tarde de nuestra vida, seremos juzgados por nuestro amor". El amor perfecto hará posible nuestra entrada inmediata al cielo. El amor imperfecto requerirá purificación. El último rechazo del amor divino significará la separación eterna de Dios. Dios nos ha hecho para el cielo, donde disfrutaremos el cumplimiento perfecto de todo anhelo humano en la felicidad
suprema y eterna. Estamos llamados a esta bendición. Estamos llamados a ser santos. No podemos ni siquiera comenzar a imaginar la alegría que Dios nos ha preparado en el cielo. La Biblia usa imágenes como un banquete de bodas para ofrecernos un vistazo de la alegría y la felicidad del cielo. Sabemos que en el cielo disfrutaremos de una comunión perfecta en amor con la Santísima Trinidad y todos los ángeles y santos. Jesús ha abierto las puertas del cielo para nosotros por su muerte por nuestros pecados y su resurrección de entre los muertos. Para ayudarnos a centrar nuestras miras en este final feliz y en nuestra oración de que los seres queridos lleguen junto con nosotros, la Iglesia ha reunido varias tradiciones en el mes de noviembre y hasta el comienzo de la llegada de diciembre. Aquí tenemos lo que programamos en St. Matthew este año.
Sobres de ofrendas de Todas las Almas: A partir de este fin de semana y durante todo el mes de noviembre, los fieles están invitados a escribir los nombres de sus seres queridos ya fallecidos en el sobre y depositarlo en el buzón que está ubicado en el Santuario. Ellos serán incluidas en las oraciones de la parroquia a lo largo del mes.
Nombres de los que murieron en el último año: un rollo con los nombres de los feligreses de St. Matthew que murieron en los últimos 12 meses se colocará solemnemente en la fuente bautismal, donde nos recuerdan las palabras de San Pablo : "Por este bautismo en su muerte fuimos sepultados con Cristo, y así como Cristo fue resucitado de entre los muertos por la Gloria del Padre, así también nosotros
empezamos una nueva vida" (Romanos 6: 4)
Día de Todos los Santos: 1 de noviembre (Un día de obligación): Misas de vigilia martes 31 de octubre a las 5:00 p.m. en inglés y a las 7:00 p.m. en español; Misas del miércoles - 1 de noviembre a las 6:30 a.m., 8:15 a.m. y 12:05 p.m. en inglés y a las 7:00 p.m. en español.
Día de Todos los Santos: 2 de noviembre (No es un día de obligación): Misas 6:30 a.m. y 12:05 p.m. en inglés y a las 7:00 p.m. en español.
Misa y recepción para las familias de los que murieron durante los últimos 12 meses: sábado 11 de noviembre a las 12:05 p. M.
Recursos de planificación de cuidado de vida: el sábado 18 de noviembre de 3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Personas profesionales estarán disponibles para hablar con usted individualmente sobre planificación patrimonial, directivas de atención avanzada, arreglos funerarios y duelo. Noviembre y estos eventos especiales nos deben recordar la dirección que estamos tomando considerando la eternidad y hacia dónde nos llevan nuestras vidas: ¿Hacia Dios o lejos de Él? ¿Qué cambios en la dirección de mi vida y mi planificación deben hacerse?
Noviembre es realmente un mes de “Las Últimas Cosas", porque nos recuerda profundamente el amor y la misericordia que Dios nos ha ofrecido; ¡realmente es un mes de esperanza! Msgr. John Talesfore, Pastor
