Solemnity of All Saints Today we celebrate the community of faith, being in communio n with all the saints, a day of both thanksgiving and visio n.
Thanksgiving because of the example and inspiration of the saints, who have come to maturity, to the measure to the full statu re of Christ (Ep 4:13).
Vision because our Gospel today describes the path we must take to make the same journey home to God.
If we wish to join the saints both now and in eternity, we must make our own the “mission statement” of Jesus, which is the Sermon on the Mount and especially the opening invitation to true happiness . Masses for the Week Sacred Heart Boho:

Sunday 8th November 10am Mass People of the parish Lord God, whose days are without end and whose mercies beyond counting, keep us mindful that life is short and the hour of death unknown.
Let your Spirit guide our days on earth in the ways of holiness and justice that we may serve you in union with the whole Church, sure in faith, strong in hope, perfect in love.

From my own experience of having loved ones die, as well as from what others have shared with me, I have found that usually, after a time, we sense That our deceased loved ones no longer need us to pray for them.
Now they just want us to connect with the m.
Prayer for the dead does that and even though our prayers might still have to be formulated as if we are praying for them we are now simply connecting with them and what was formerly a cold, cutting abs ence now becomes a warm, comforting presence.

Popes Intention for November: For the proper use of wealth - Let us pray for the proper use of wealth, that not succumbing to the temptation of selćshness, it may always be put at the service the common good and solidarity of those who have less.
Points to Ponder Sometimes the Beatitudes seem like ideals which are just too hard, or we may think we know better.
But today’s feast calls to mind men and women – some who are known to us perhaps – who really embody these ideals, and who are taught by the Spirit to learn from the Wisdom of Christ. This great multitude of Christians are strengthened each day to seek the face of Christ; strengthened by the Holy Spirit.
Some do so despite persecution, and great tribulation.
Many of our brothers and sisters in various parts of the world are still being killed and unjustly treated for their faith.
And the witness of these saints gives us hope, and courage.
But there are also the little sacrićces oĄered each day for Christ; for truth, goodness, and love.
Think, for example, of how often you might have had to be a peacemaker, or be merciful at home, or at work.
The path to holiness begins with an acknowledgement that we are sinners, and a longing for God’s mercy and salvation.
But the path winds through our kitchens and gardens, across our cars and schools, by our oąces and homes, and into our hearts.
For it is ordinarily in these places that we hunger and thirst for righteousness… that we can seek God with a pure and undivided heart.
And God’s response is always to ćll us with his blessing, giving us a share in the very life of the Blessed One, so that – if we persevere in friendship with God – we might ourselves become Blessed, and join the company of his saints.
