31th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Happy Halloween or Happy Hallow-Evening! Tomorrow's night will be the Halloween, so happy Halloween to all. By the way, do you know where and what does the word Halloween came from and what does it mean? The word Halloween has its origin from Gaelic. "Halloween" simply means "Hallow-Evening." This was used to commemorate all the souls of the dead, in which many are holy; the word "hallow" means "holy." The latter part of it, is "evening." Evening is the vigil celebration of the "day of the dead" or "All Souls" day. In Spain and Latin America countries; they call November 1st and 2nd as the "Dia de los muertos" or the day of the dead; it associates with what we are celebrating on October 31st or Halloween. How do we celebrate? Here, we usually dress up as something that is awful and disguise ourselves to look like "ghosts" or the likes. There is nothing holy about it. However, the Spaniard and Latin American celebrate this differently. They would go dress up with costumes to disguise themselves as the dead; in addition, they would go to the cemetery to commemorate and pray for the souls of the dead; particularly, their family members. We don't often pay attention to the ideas behind our celebrations. Sometime, we allow our culture and family to infiltrate our heart and mind with different ideologies. This Halloween, I would like to invite you to look at it differently; consider ourselves as the "hallowed" and have your children be dressed with costumes that portrays the holiness of the Hallow-Evening.

¡Feliz día de Halloween o feliz noche Santa! La noche de mañana será la fiesta de Halloween, espero que sea tan feliz Halloween para todos. Por cierto, ¿sabe de dónde viene la palabra Halloween que significa y que hace? La palabra Halloween es de origen Céltico. "Halloween" significa simplemente "Santa-noche." Esto celebración se utilizó para conmemorar todas las almas de los difuntos, en la que muchos de ellos son santos; la palabra "Hallow" significa "santo". La última parte de la misma, es "noche". La noche es la celebración de la vigilia "Día de los muertos" o día de "Todos los Santos". En España y América Latina los países; que llaman el 1º de Noviembre día de Todos los Santos y el segundo como el "Día de los Muertos"; se asocia con lo que estamos celebrando el 31 de octubre o Halloween. ¿Cómo celebrar? En este sentido, por lo general nos disfrazamos como algo muy espantoso para parecerse a los "fantasmas" o al gusto de cada quien. No hay nada sagrado en ello. Sin embargo, los Españoles y Latinoamericanos celebran esto de manera diferente. Ellos se disfrazan a sí mismos con trajes de muertos; además, van al cementerio para conmemorar y orar por las almas de los muertos; en particular, los miembros de la familia. A menudo no prestamos atención a las ideas detrás de nuestras celebraciones. En algún momento, permitimos en nuestra cultura y la familia infiltrarse algunas ideas en nuestro corazón y mente con diferentes ideologías. Sin embargo, este Halloween, me gustaría invitarles a mirar de forma diferente esto; considerárnoslo como "sagrado" y que sus hijos estén vestidos con disfraces que retraten la santidad de la Noche Santa—Hallow-Evening.

31th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Por La Misericordia de Jesus Somos Salvados El pasado 22 y 23 de Octubre el grupo PESCADOR DE HOMBRES de nuestra parroquia, tuvo su retiro Anual donde participaron decenas de personas. El Señor manifestó poderosamente su misericordia, muchas personas que asistieron al retiro se reconciliaron con Dios a través del sacramento de la Confesión y en la Misa Dominical celebrada por nuestro párroco, padre Hieu Tran, muchos de ellos que no habían recibido la Comunión en mucho tiempo, gracias a Dios y a su infinita misericordia lo pudieron hacer. Al final de la Misa hubo alabanzas de agradecimiento a Dios por tantas bendiciones recibidas y también testimonios, uno de ellos muy significativo donde un asistente le pidió a su pareja contraer matrimonio por la Iglesia, acto que causó muchísima alegría entre los asistentes. Un agradecimiento especial a todos los servidores de los tres grupos parroquiales: grupo de Oración Familiar Sagrado Corazón, Hijas de María Santísima y Pescador de Hombres, que se unieron para que el evento fuera de gran bendición para todos…
