The Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time
NO MASS
Tuesday, Nov 1
When we make an effort to live our baptismal calling we begin to
understand what it means to become a disciple of Christ Jesus. The
reading from the Book of Wisdom today exclaims that the entire
universe belongs to God because he created it and through love he
sustains and is present in it. Christian discipleship obligates us to
thank God the Father for the abundance of the earth and care for it
in order to nourish our love of God and neighbor. In the Gospel,
Jesus met Zacchaeus and their encounter caused such a conversion
of heart in Zacchaeus that he decided to part with half of his
property and right any wrongs he had committed. May we, too, see
that if our focus on possessions pulls us away from the Lord, we
should abandon them to follow our Savior.

All Souls Day is a holy day set aside for honoring the dead.
According to Catholic belief, the soul of a person who dies
can go to one of three places. The first is heaven, where a
person who dies in a state of perfect grace and communion
with God goes. The second is hell, where those who die in a
state of mortal sin are naturally condemned by their choice.
The intermediate option is purgatory, which is thought to be
where most people, free of mortal sin, but still in a state of
lesser (venial) sin, must go. Purgatory is necessary so that
souls can be cleansed and perfected before they enter into
heaven. There is scriptural basis for this belief. The primary
reference is in 2 Maccabees, 12:26 and 12:32. "Turning to
supplication, they prayed that the sinful deed might be fully
blotted out... Thus made atonement for the dead that they
might be free from sin."
Additional references are found in Zechariah, Sirach, and the
Gospel of Matthew. Jewish tradition also reinforces this
belief as well as the tradition and teaching of the Church,
which has been affirmed throughout history.
Consistent with these teachings and traditions, Catholics
believe that through the prayers of the faithful on Earth, the
dead are cleansed of their sins so they may enter into
heaven.
The belief in purgatory has not been without controversy.
Certainly, some flagrant abuses of the doctrine were used to
raise money for the Church during the renaissance.
Famously, Martin Luther argued with the monk, Johan
Tetzel, over the sale of indulgences. Indulgences were sold
as spiritual pardons to the poor and applied to the souls of
the dead (or the living) to get people into heaven. The abuse
of indulgences and the blatant, sometimes fraudulent
practice of selling indulgences for money, led to Luther's
protest.
210 N. Fourth Street + Independence, KS 67301
When Martin Luther translated the Bible into German, he
omitted the seven books of the canon which refer to prayers
for the dead. He then introduced the heretical belief that
people are simply saved, or not, and argued that there is no
need to pray for the dead to get them into heaven.

The Church reeled from Luther's accusation, and reformed
its practice of selling indulgences. However, it reemphasized
the Biblical and traditional practice of praying for the
departed and the importance of such prayers.

All Souls Day is celebrated in much of the western world on
November 2. All Souls Day is not a holy day of obligation. It
should not be confused with All Saints' Day, which is a holy
day of obligation.

Many cultures also mark the day differently. In North
America, Americans may say extra prayers or light candles
for the departed. In parts of Latin America, families visit the
graves of their ancestors and sometimes leave food
offerings for the departed.
