Fellow Parishioners,

A reminder that All Saints Day is November 1st and is a Holy Day of Obligation in the Roman Catholic Church. November 2nd is All Souls Day and is not a Holy Day of Obligation but attendance and offering prayers for the faithful departed are strongly encouraged. Lighting candles in memory of departed loved ones is a common practice during this reflection.

Love Of God and Neighbors

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Today’s Readings invite us to love the Lord with our whole heart and our neighbor as ourselves. God instructs the people of Israel in today's 1st Reading from the Book of Exodus not to wrong or oppress
strangers, orphans and widows. We are reminded that the Heavens are quick to hear their cry and come to their aid.

The Psalm invites us to Love and sing praises to the Lord for it is He who provides strength and refuge to the weak and the oppressed.

In today’s Second Reading from St. Paul’s 1st Letter to the Thessalonians, He acknowledges their efforts towards becoming models of faith and imitators of the Lord, who gave himself fully for our sake. Their turning away from idol worship to serve the living and true God and their living in harmony with each other is a reflection of their love of God and of their neighbor.

In Today’s Gospel, Jesus bestows upon us this invaluable gift of Love as a commandment, an obligation for every child of God. God is Love, and whoever abides in Love abides in God. Not only did Christ command Love but He also exemplified it. Neither severe persecution, nor the Cross, nor even death itself could conquer God’s Love in Christ Jesus. His death on the cross was a supreme expression of true Love for God and for humanity. May we all by God’s grace come to a realization that Love is a force
that no adversity can overcome and dish it out to God and our neighbors in the daily sacrifices we make for God and our neighbors.

Amen.

Father Sefembiy Justin
