November 1st All Saints
Jesus, help us to realize the make up of our eternal home.
Let us see the saints as inspirations of how to be willing to live this life in honor and glory of You.
Let us see that You have a plan for all of us that will work out perfectly.
Let us see in our minds eye how it must look in heaven with all the saints praising and absolutely loving
our triune God.
Let us recommit our lives to praying for all the people who are still being purified in purgatory,
especially those who have no one to pray for them.
Let us realize that we are the eternal family of God.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday COMMUNION OF SAINTS ALIVE
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-11-1-en
"See what love the Father has bestowed on us in letting us be called children of God! Yet that is what we
are." -1 John 3:1
When my son was a seminarian, he had major knee surgery on All Saints Day morning. As we returned to his
dorm room from the hospital, I was privileged to see the "communion of saints" in action. A group of
seminarians visited him for the purpose of making him laugh. Two others stopped by to pray the Divine
Office with him in the evening. Another seminarian dropped in to pray a rosary with him. Yet another kept
him supplied with food and drink. Several left him their phone numbers with instructions to call at any
hour of the night. One of the priests brought him Holy Communion. The living saints in his seminary
community took care of his every spiritual, social, and physical need.
As powerful as is this earthly "communion of saints...we who live...in no way have an advantage over those
who have" died (1 Thes 4:15). This is because, as Jesus so clearly stated to those who disputed the
resurrection of the body, "all are alive for" God (Lk 20:38). In the Mass and in our prayers, we saints
who are living in Christ share an unbroken fellowship with the saints who have died - "through Him, with
Him, and in Him." Thus the seminarians who prayed with my son invoked the prayers of several canonized
saints in heaven. These young men requested prayer support from these saints with just as much confidence
as they would have talked to a living seminarian standing in the room. We are all connected in the Body
of Christ. "Neither death nor life...will be able to separate us from the love of God that comes to us in
Christ Jesus, our Lord" (Rm 8:38, 39).
Prayer: Father, may I relate to every member of Your family, whether in heaven or on earth, as You would
have me do.
Promise: "Beloved, we are God's children now." -1 Jn 3:2
Praise: All Saints in heaven and still here on earth, pray for us.

For the USA and our election, an end to the pandemic, civil unrest and Christian persecution. For all
elected officials and religious leaders to follow God and His commandments. For Pope Francis and One Date

all on my prayer list, sale of my properties, settling of financial obligations and the special intentions of
my heart. Jesus, I Trust in You. Amen

Today is the Feast of Saint Jude... O Holy St Jude! Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles,
near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor for all who invoke you, special patron in time of need; to
you I have recourse from the depth of my heart, and humbly beg you, to whom God has given such great power,
to come to the assistance of the United States, and bring this country back to GOD. Help US now in our urgent
need and grant my earnest petition. I will never forget thy graces and favors you obtain for US and I will do
my utmost to spread devotion to you. Amen. St. Jude, pray for US and all who honor thee and invoke thy aid.
(Say 3 Our Father's, 3 Hail Mary's, and 3 Glory Be's after this.)

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the
devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Divine Power
of God - cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout our homes, neighborhood, cities,
states, countries and the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
