Our sacrificial giving made in gratitude to the Lord for
His sacrifice for us.
LIVING GOD’S WORD
In his first letter to the Thessalonian community Saint
Paul says that ‘‘the day of the Lord will come like a
thief at night” God will come stealing life as we
know it. If, however, we pick it up and run with it at
that point, perhaps something new can be born in us.
(World Library Publications)
GET READY
The Letters of Paul to the Thessalonians are among
his earliest writings, and are driven by his belief and
the belief of the entire early Christian community that
the return of Christ was imminent. Therefore, to
devote time or attention to anything else was foolish.
As time progressed, this fervor receded a bit. Today
we may wonder, when we hear these readings about
the coming end-times, if we should take them to
heart. What should we do when we hear that the day
of the Lord will come upon us “like a thief at night”?
Does this mean we are to stop our long-range goal
setting, get rid of our yearly calendars and planners,
or stop putting money in the college education fund?
Of course not. What it does mean is that we need to
change our lives, living like children of the light and
illuminating the world around us with the light of the
gospel. Then, on that day, when the details of our
daily living become unimportant, we will be ready to
find our peace and security in Christ Jesus.

FAMILY CONNECTION
In today's Gospel, Jesus talks about the correlation
between faithfulness and responsibilities. Family life
provides many opportunities to illustrate this
connection for children. As children prove
themselves trustworthy, they can be trusted to take on
greater responsibilities. Jesus teaches us in this
parable that when we show ourselves to be
trustworthy in small matters, we can be trusted to
participate in greater matters of responsibility. Take
some time to recall how each child in the family has
matured and can now be trusted with greater
responsibilities.
In today's Gospel, Jesus talked about how our trustworthiness in small matters shows that we can also
be trusted to share in the work of serving the Kingdom of Heaven. We share in the work of serving
the Kingdom of Heaven when we use our talents to
help and serve others.
As a family, choose one thing to do this week to
serve others. (Loyola Press)

ETERNAL REST GRANT UNTO
Barbara Budzenski
Julian Jurus
O Lord, may your perpetual light
shine upon them forever. May they rest in peace.
Nie skupiajmy się w tych dniach
listopadowych na śmierci, ale na
powszechnym powołaniu do świętości
W tych dniach nie stawiajmy śmierci w centrum
naszej uwagi. Ona zwyczajnie na to nie zasługuje.
Zajmijmy się lepiej życiem, które nie tylko że się nie
kończy, to jeszcze z każdym swoim etapem coraz
pełniej rozkwita. Od poczęcia, przez dzieciństwo,
dorosłość, aż po wieczność. A pełnią życia i pełnią
człowieczeństwa jest świętość. Bo w świętości wyraża
się nasze podobieństwo do Boga, zamierzone już w
akcie stworzenia.
To właśnie Uroczystość Wszystkich Świętych
przypomina, że świętość jest wpisana w nasze życie,
jest naszym powołaniem. Jest bardziej możliwa do
osiągnięcia, niż nam to się na co dzień wydaje.
Osiągnęło ją już tak wielu, że chyba nikt poza Bogiem
samym nie potrafi ich wszystkich zliczyć.
Skąd się biorą ci, którzy w niebie otaczają tron
Boga? Zwyczajnie, spośród nas! Jak pisze św. Jan w
Apokalipsie, przychodzą „z wielkiego ucisku”. To
ważna uwaga, bo chyba każdemu pokoleniu grozi
przekonanie, że czasy, w których przyszło mu żyć –
bardziej niż inne – nie sprzyjają świętemu życiu. A
jednak świętość jest możliwa w każdym czasie.
Franciszek z Asyżu osiągnął ją w tzw. ciemnych
wiekach Kościoła, ojcu Maksymilianowi w świętości
nie przeszkodziła nawet nazistowska machina
upodlenia człowieka, Kazimierza Jagiellończyka nie
zepsuł królewski dwór, a bł. Matki Teresy nie
zniszczyła bieda Kalkuty. Świętość jest możliwa
zawsze, bo jest darem Boga, który w każdym czasie
skutecznie zbawia człowieka podejmującego
współpracę z Chrystusem.
Uroczystość Wszystkich Świętych odsłania bolesne
rozdwojenie współczesnej kultury w podejściu do
śmierci. Z jednej strony unika się w niej bowiem
refleksji nad śmiercią, wypierając ją z ludzkiej
świadomości w niebyt. Z drugiej zaś nawet tak
radosny w swej istocie dzień uparcie nazywa „świętem
zmarłych”, jakby wszystko na tym świecie zmierzało
do grobu i w grobie się kończyło.
Tym bardziej więc trzeba podkreślać prawdę o
świętości i o powołaniu każdego człowieka do
szczęścia wiecznego, jako chrześcijańską odpowiedź
na grożący światu nihilizm.
Nie skupiajmy się tego dnia na śmierci, ale na
powszechnym powołaniu do świętości. W tym
bowiem tkwi istota Ewangelii.
