D E A R P A D R E

I've always gone along thinking when we die we will spend some time in purgatory and then go on to heaven. My mother-in-law (who is a different religion) believes that when we die, we lie in the ground until the last day. Since she said this I notice some of our hymns say we will be raised on the last day. I'm confused.

Carol

Dear Carol,

It is not surprising that there is confusion about this issue. There is a difference between judgment and resurrection, even though they are obviously connected. Some people, like your mother-in-law, think of these two things occurring at the same time. our Catholic teaching separates them, to some extent.

The teaching about judgment is that there are two kinds of judgment. The first is the judgment which occurs at our death and is called the particular judgement. In this judgment we may go to heaven, hell, or purgatory. The Catechism of the Catholic Church puts it this way: "Each man receives his eternal retribution in his immortal soul at the very moment of his death, in a particular judgment that refers his life to Christ" (1022).

The second judgment is the general judgment that occurs at the end of the world. The resurrection of the body takes place at this judgment when our particular judgment is confirmed and our soul and body are reunited. The hymns that say we will be raised on the last day refer to the general judgment. Most of the Scripture passages about judgment are about the general judgment.

Father Joseph Nolen, C.Ss.R.

HOMEBOUND EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS

N E E D E D

We need more ministers to take the Holy Eucharist to those unable to attend Mass. Except for those in nursing homes, most of our needs are for parishioners who have surgery or have a temporary illness. If you are interested, please call Theresa, 607-0064 and/or attend our meeting on October 6, 9:00 a.m., Meeting Room 1. This is a very holy and rewarding way to share your time with others.

There will be important meetings with Father Jacobi for Ushers and Eucharistic Ministries on the following days. Changes in procedures will be announced and put into effect at these meetings. Please be here for these meetings. All meetings will take place in the church. The meetings will start and finish on time:

October 3

4:00 - 5:00 p.m., Eucharistic Ministers

6:30 - 7:30 p.m., Ushers

THOSE WHO ARE SICK at home or in the hospital, especially: Manuel Moran, Tom Fox, John Steltenkamp, John Chyz, Amelia Torres, Pat Reynolds, Alan Giroux, Johnnie Cravotto, Bob Gilmore, Jan McLemore, Sally Curry, Betty Muller, Keith Anneler, Michael Chronister, Donna Bay, Edna Gunter, Tom Donnelly, Ewart Vaughn, Judy Fairless, Robert Mabe, Beverly Reeve, Randy Conner, Betty Modeland, Cliff Poeling, Joyce Goodall, Hans Brisch, Sally Collins, David Lawalin, Patty Keeley. John Highley, Danny Goe, Tarisai Dandajena, Sheila Cameron and John Connors.

When will I have given enough - of my income, of my time, of my talents? Today's Gospel, suggests that only total stewardship will do: "When you have done all you have been commanded to do, say "We are useless servants. We have done no more than our duty."

VIGESIMO SEPTIMO DOMINGO EN TIEMPO ORDINARIO

Naamán "el leproso" se bañó en el Jordán como le había dicho Eliseo. Jesús, con su sola Palabra, curó a los leprosos, pero sólo el extranjero regresó, dando gracias. Naamán cargó tierra de Tierra Santa para construir un altar al Señor. El samaritano curado gritó alabando a Dios y se llenó de fe en el Mesías. Para nosotros los cristianos, la Presencia de Dios no está confinada a un solo sitio; está donde nos reunamos para alabarlo. En la Eucaristía, nuestra "acción de gracias", nos reunimos para recibir aliento y alivio. y tú ¿cómo alabas a Dios?
