The purpose of the Salvatorian is to strengthen, to defend and
to spread the Catholic faith everywhere insofar as this is committed to it by Divine Providence. Therefore, by exercising
this ecclesiastical teaching function in word and writing, it intends to achieve the end that all people might know more and
more the one true God and Him whom He sent, Jesus Christ.

Tutti i Santi 1 novembre
Il giorno di tutti i Santi, noto anche come Ognissanti,
è una festa cristiana che celebra insieme la gloria e
l'onore di tutti i Santi (siano o non siano stati canonizzati).
La solennità del calendario liturgico romano (in latino: Sollemnitas Omnium Sanctorum) cade il 1º novembre (seguita il 2 novembre dalla Commemorazione dei Defunti), ed è una festa di precetto, che
prevedeva anche una vigilia e un'ottava nel calendario anteriore alla riforma liturgica voluta dal concilio ecumenico Vaticano II.
Le commemorazioni dei martiri, comuni a diverse
Chiese, cominciarono ad esser celebrate nel IV secolo. Le prime tracce di una celebrazione generale
sono attestate ad Antiochia, e fanno riferimento alla
Domenica successiva alla Pentecoste. Questa usanza viene citata anche nella settantaquattresima
omelia di Giovanni Crisostomo ed è preservata fino
ad oggi dalle chiese orientali. Anche Efrem Siro
parla di tale festa, e la colloca il 13 maggio.
La ricorrenza della chiesa occidentale potrebbe
derivare dalla festa romana della dedicatio Sanctae
Mariae ad Martyres, ovvero l'anniversario della trasformazione del Pantheon in chiesa dedicata alla Vergine e a tutti i martiri, avvenuta il 13 maggio del 609
o 610 da parte di papa Bonifacio IV; la data del 13
maggio coincide con quella citata da Efrem Siro.
In seguito papa Gregorio III (731-741) scelse il 1º
novembre come data dell'anniversario della
consacrazione di una cappella a San Pietro alle reliquie "dei santi apostoli e di tutti i santi, martiri e confessori, e di tutti i giusti resi perfetti che riposano in
pace in tutto il mondo”. Arrivati ai tempi di Carlo
Magno, la festività di Ognissanti era diffusamente
celebrata in novembre].
Il 1º novembre venne decretato festa di precetto da
parte del re franco Luigi il Pio nell'835. Il decreto fu
emesso "su richiesta di papa Gregorio IV e con il
consenso di tutti i vescovi”. La festa si dotò di ottava solenne ancora presente nel rito straordinario della Chiesa durante il pontificato di papa Sisto IV,
quando, bandendo la crociata per la liberazione di
Otranto nel settembre 1480, il pontefice implorò la
benedizione dell'Altissimo sulle schiere cristiane.
Do you think you’re going to
heaven? Because maybe you aren’t.
All Saints . Since the times of the
early church, particularly the martyrs
always had a special day assigned to
their veneration.
Do you think that you’re going to
heaven? And if so, why? I read a recent poll from ABC
news that said that about 85% (of people who believed in
heaven at all) believed that they were going there. As a
matter of fact, I polled the 8th graders this morning and
asked them how many of them thought they were going
to heaven. All of them did. But again, I wonder what the
basis of that hope is.
Scripture says that Heaven is for those who have
conquered. There are multiple images, particularly in the
Book of Revelation, about gaining heaven as gaining
ground in some kind of mortal combat. St. Paul
compares the Christian life to boxing, to training for the
Olympic games and to a race. Jesus clearly says that at
the end of time, the human race will be divided into the
sheep and the goats and the ones who failed to show
heroic kindness to their brothers and sisters will be
thrown into the lake of fire. Many other such references
could be given. They all point to one truth: Heaven is
like a winner’s circle. It is a place for those who have
won the race and kept the faith. But somehow, I think
that we have cheapened it into a place that were are
simply entitled to go because we’re such nice people.
People seem to think that all that is necessary to go to
heaven is that you have some tiny glimmer of goodness
in you. For all we know, that description fits Satan
himself, but as far as we know, he is not enjoying his
heavenly reward for it.
Since when do we presume so much on God’s kindness
and mercy and simply think that just by being vaguely
nice people who generally did as we pleased, that we will
go to the place where Scripture says that only the heroes
go? Y’all, it doesn’t really take much energy to be nice
to people. Atheists can be nice to people, and very often
are. Heaven means much more than being nice, it means
being holy. Today is a day we celebrate holy men and
women, not men and women who just won PTA awards
or were good at patting their children on the cheek when
they did something cute.
It is a happy day, but it is a day that we should ask
ourselves a very important question: how does my faith
make me act differently than I would if I did not have it?
How am I striving to win the race? Am I testifying to the
life of the savior who suffered for me by suffering myself
for the sake of love?
I would like to end with a quotation by Coach Vince
Lombardi, who knew a great deal about struggling to
meet a goal:
I firmly believe that any man’s finest hours, the greatest
fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when
he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies
exhausted on the field of battle–victorious.
This is how we will enter Heaven. And there is no other
way
UROCZYSTOŚĆ WSZYSTKICH ŚWIĘTYCH
1 LISTOPADA
Dzisiejsza uroczystość ma char akter bar dzo
radosny. Wspominamy bowiem dzisiaj wszystkich tych,
którzy żyli przed nami i wypełniając w swoim życiu
Bożą wolę, osiągnęli wieczne szczęście przebywania
z Bogiem w niebie. Kościół wspomina nie tylko
oficjalnie
uznanych
świętych,
czyli
tych
beatyfikowanych i kanonizowanych, ale także
wszystkich wiernych zmarłych, którzy już osiągnęli
zbawienie i przebywają w niebie. Widzi w nich swoich
orędowników u Boga i przykłady do naśladowania.
Wstawiennictwa Wszystkich Świętych wzywa się
w szczególnie ważnych wydarzeniach życia Kościoła.
Śpiewa się wówczas Litanię do Wszystkich Świętych,
która należy do najstarszych litanijnych modlitw
Kościoła i jako jedyna występuje w księgach
liturgicznych (w liturgii Wigilii Paschalnej; ponadto
także w obrzędzie poświęcenia kościoła i ołtarza oraz
w obrzędzie święceń.
W pierwszych wiekach chrześcijaństwa
w Kościele nie wspominano żadnych świętych.
Najwcześniej zaczęto oddawać cześć Matce Bożej.
Potem kultem otoczono męczenników, nawiedzając ich
groby w dniu narodzin dla nieba, czyli w rocznicę
śmierci. W IV wieku na Wschodzie obchodzono
jednego dnia wspomnienie wszystkich męczenników.
Z czasem zaczęto pamiętać o świątobliwych
wyznawcach: papieżach, mnichach i dziewicach.
Większego znaczenia uroczystość Wszystkich Świętych
nabrała za czasów papieża Bonifacego IV (+ 615).
Już ok. 800 r. wspomnienie Wszystkich Świętych
obchodzone było w Irlandii i Bawarii, ale 1 listopada.
Za papieża Grzegorza IV (828-844) cesarz Ludwik
rozciągnął święto na całe swoje państwo. W 935 r.
Jan XI rozszerzył je na cały Kościół. W ten sposób
lokalne święto Rzymu i niektórych Kościołów stało się
świętem całego Kościoła.
Jest to uroczystość nakazana, więc tylko choroba
lub poważne przeszkody zwalniają z obowiązku uczestnictwa we
Mszy Świętej.
Zapraszamy na Eucharystię:
w języku polskim o godzinie 8:00 AM, 7:00 PM oraz
w języku angielskim o 7:00 AM, 8:00 AM (St.
Michael’s), 12:00 PM.
Tak jak w roku ubiegłym, zapraszamy wszystkich
chętnych do wyjazdu na cmentarz w North Arlington
(340 Ridge Road) na modlitwę różańcową za zmarłych
w niedzielę, 6 listopada o godzinie 3:00 PM. Spotkamy się przy biurze cmentarza i stamtąd wyruszymy
do mausoleum, do grobu księdza Roberta; tam
będziemy modlić się się w języku polskim i angielskim.
Potem będzie można odwiedzić groby swoich bliskich.
Prosimy o przyjechanie własnymi samochodami.
Jeśli ktoś miałby jakieś pytania, to prosimy je kierować
do ks. Andrzeja.
WSPOMNIENIE
WSZYSTKICH WIERNYCH ZMARŁYCH
(DZIEŃ ZADUSZNY)
2 LISTOPADA
Kościół wspomina w liturgii wszystkich wierzących w Chrystusa, którzy odeszli już z tego świata, a
teraz
przebywają
w
czyśćcu.
Przekonanie
o istnieniu czyśćca jest jednym z dogmatów naszej wiary.
Obchód Dnia Zadusznego zainicjował
w 998 r. św. Odilon (+1048) - czwarty opat klasztoru
benedyktyńskiego w Cluny (Francja). Praktykę tę początkowo przyjęły klasztory benedyktyńskie, ale wkrótce za ich przykładem poszły także inne zakony i diecezje. W XIII w. święto rozpowszechniło się na cały Kościół. W wieku XIV zaczęto urządzać procesję na cmentarz do czterech stacji. Piąta stacja odbywała się już w
kościele, po powrocie procesji z cmentarza. Przy stacjach odmawiano modlitwy za zmarłych i śpiewano pieśni żałobne. W Polsce tradycja Dnia Zadusznego zaczęła
się tworzyć już w XII w., a z końcem wieku XV była
znana w całym kraju. W 1915 r. papież Benedykt XV na
prośbę opata-prymasa benedyktynów zezwolił, aby tego
dnia każdy kapłan mógł odprawić trzy Msze święte: w
intencji poleconej przez wiernych, za wszystkich wiernych zmarłych i według intencji Ojca Świętego.
Od południa dnia Wszystkich Świętych
i przez cały Dzień Zaduszny w kościołach i kaplicach
publicznych można uzyskać odpust zupełny za zmarłych, ale tylko jeden raz.
Warunki zyskania odpustu są następujące:
1) pobożne nawiedzenie kościoła lub kaplicy,
2) odmówienie "Ojcze nasz" i "Wierzę w Boga"
3) dowolna modlitwa w intencjach Ojca Świętego
4) bycie w stanie łaski uświecającej i Komunia Św.
W dniach 1-8 listopada można także pozyskać odpust
zupełny za nawiedzenie cmentarza pod wyżej wymienionymi warunkami. W pozostałe dni roku za nawiedzenie cmentarza pozyskuje się odpust cząstkowy.
2 listopada wszystkie Msze Święte będą odprawiane
w intencji poleconych nam zmarłych
w następującym porządku:
7:00 AM - Msza w języku angielskim
8:00 AM - Msza w języku polskim
8:00 AM (St. Michael’s) - Msza w języku angielskim
12:00 PM - Msza w języku angielskim
7:00 PM - Msza Święta w języku polskim
