BREAD Offer
to
Celebrations
By Fr. Jeff Ernst, OFM, Cap.
This weekend we celebrate All Saints Day. This is a good me for us to reflect upon our call to holiness.
We are called to reflect Jesus in our lives so that the lives of others might be inspired to come to him in
faith. That sounds overwhelming if not impossible doesn’t it?! The saints didn’t stop being sinners.
Saints were and are sinners un l the day they die. They simply recognized that fact and accepted it. But
they also accepted the love and mercy of Jesus. They made efforts at the slow change that is a result of
prayer, repentance (confession of sin), and works of mercy. The saints struggled with themselves and they were relentless in
subduing their selfish tendencies. Humility was o en their biggest struggle and yet they ul mately became humble. The example of
the saints helps the rest of us in our spiritual growth. We may not be called to be “canonized saints,” but we are called to be saints
in the way that God is leading us. May we have the courage to “think big” and at the same me become humble as we con nue to
grow in our rela onship with the humblest of all, Jesus Christ.
Oktoberfest was a great success! The commi ee tells me it was the most well a ended and, while we do not have all of the figures
yet, it was the most successful as far as what we were able to take to the bank. I would like to thank all of those people who meet
nearly throughout the en re year to make our Oktoberfest happen. In par cular, I would like to thank Angie Evers, Ellen Shobe, and
Susan Lechtenberg. Without these ladies, Oktoberfest would not happen. By the way, the Oktoberfest commi ee is looking for
individuals who would have an interest in becoming a regular member of the team of people who work Oktoberfest. We are in
need of people who would volunteer for the Oktoberfest program. They can use some help ahead of me with prepara on and
planning. If you see yourself as one of those people, please contact the parish office!
Thank you to all who made a pledge during last weekend’s in‐pew appeal which ne ed $78,000 in pledges – an incredible success!
Thank you for believing in the future of St. John Parish and School!

Thank you to all who have pledged to the Preserving our Past... Building our Future! Capital Campaign.

Todos los Santos
La fiesta de hoy está hecha a la medida de cada persona. Al
reflexionar en ella, nos damos cuenta de que no se celebra a ningún
santo o santa en par cular, sino que la Iglesia celebra la memoria de
una muchedumbre que nadie podría humanamente contar. Tal como lo
menciona la primera lectura de este domingo, "Vi luego una
muchedumbre tan grande, que nadie podía contarla. Eran individuos de
todas las naciones y razas, de todos los pueblos y lenguas" (Ap 7, 9).
Ésta es la fiesta de los cris anos de ayer y de hoy, de cercanos y lejanos,
y de nuestros familiares y amigos que han servido fielmente al Señor
con el espíritu de las bienaventuranzas cada día de su existencia. Ellos
vivieron cada día de su vida con sencillez, humildad y perseverancia.
Ellos ahora gozan de la visión de Dios. Los recordamos en la oración, y
sin endo que desde el más allá, junto con Dios, nos bendicen y cuidan.
¿Crees tú que las personas que ya pasaron a mejor vida son santas?
¿Por qué lo crees? ¿Piensas que solamente muriendo podemos llegar a
la san dad? ¿Crees que tú san dad comienza desde aquí en la erra?
Dios actúa en nosotros si lo dejamos entrar en nuestros corazones. Es
importante darle espacio para que trabaje en aquello que nos estorba
para vivir sus bienaventuranzas. El día de hoy Jesús nos revela,
mediante su palabra, la vida verdadera por medio de las
bienaventuranzas. Éstas revelan todo lo limpio, puro y bueno que hay
en nosotros. Éstas son también el despertar de lo que hacemos
contrario a las enseñanzas de Jesús. Pidamos con fe a los santos y
santas de la familia y amigos para que sigan inspirando nuestras vidas.
Todos los Santos
Muchas veces al impar r nuestras catequesis sobre la san dad a
niños y adultos, he notado que la palabra "santo" nos parece muy
lejana e imposible de hacerla nuestra. Tal parece que el llamado a la
san dad fuera para muy pocas personas. Sin embargo, la fiesta que
celebramos hoy en la Iglesia nos habla precisamente del llamado que
tenemos todas las personas a la san dad. Esta fiesta exalta y sos ene
nuestra esperanza de que algún día nuestras vidas terminaran unidas
defini vamente a Cristo Jesús. La lectura del libro del Apocalipsis nos
dice que los marcados eran ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil. Quizá muchos
de nosotros nos preguntamos, ¿estaremos incluidos en este número?
¿Seré yo uno de los elegidos? Ciertamente, si persevero en los caminos
del Señor ahí estaré, pues he sido marcado como seguidor de Jesús en
mi bau smo.
El Evangelio de las bienaventuranzas nos señala el camino que hay
que seguir: "Dichosos los limpios de corazón, porque verán a Dios". Es
di cil el llevar a cabo esta invitación pues es más fácil vivir
cómodamente: es más fácil ser men rosos que sinceros, y aprovechar
de los más vulnerables en lugar de echarles una manita en sus
problemas. Por fortuna, Dios se hace presente y nos da oportunidades
para ser limpios de corazón a cada instante.
Ahora cabe que nos preguntemos lo siguiente: ¿alguna vez en
nuestra vida hemos reflexionado que pertenecemos a la comunión de
los santos? ¿Qué significado ene esto en el comportamiento de
nuestra vida? Deseo que esta fes vidad de Todos los Santos y Santas de
Dios nos anime a ser fieles en nuestra vocación cris ana y trabajar
unidos por una sociedad más justa.
