During the month of November, we pray in particular for the eternal repose of the faithful departed. May the Risen Lord show them His mercy, and may the hope brought by our faith in the Resurrection keep our eyes and our hearts turned towards the joy of Heaven. #GeneralAudience

“Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take nothing you have received, but only what you have given.” ~ St. Francis of Assisi

"Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord." – Psalm 31:24

From November 7 morning Liturgy of the Hours: *In the secret of my heart, teach me wisdom, Lord. *Put steadfast spirit within me. *Give me again the joy of your help. *Heal our troubled conscience. *We are his people, the flock he shepherds.

Why do we hesitate to share the Good News? We respond, “My faith is personal. I prefer to keep it to myself.” Our faith is personal. It is based on our individual relationship with God. However, I would argue that our faith is NOT private. It is meant to be shared with others.

“I believe in one (communal), holy (of God), catholic (universal), and apostolic (we are sent) Church…” Nothing in our Creed says private. We are called to share the gospel message.

In Heaven, the most beautiful souls are those that have sinned the most and repented. - St. Mariam Baouardy

From November 8 morning Liturgy of the Hours: *Lord, your ways are always tru. *Lord, you are near to us. *I hope in your Word. *May the fire of your word consume our sins. *Wisdom of God be with me, always at work in me.

Many of us choose to be both IN this world and OF this world. Unfortunately, when we do God’s law becomes more and more distant, often falling out of sight altogether.

You should know this as a Catholic?

I feel my commitment to Christ who becomes incarnate in this people whom I must serve, for whom I must give my life, even though I do not yet see the splendour of the glory that I carry hidden in myself —St Oscar Romero, 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time (C), 1977 #StOscarRomero

The life of the body is the soul; the life of the soul is God. - St. Anthony of Padua

From November 9 morning Liturgy of the Hours: *Open your hearts to praise the goodness of God. *We trust in you, Lord. *You opened the gates of mercy for us. *Let us never turn aside from the path of life. *Help us to spend this day in the spirit of joy.

We give lip service to God, providing him with what we think will suffice, then we go about our lives selfishly seeking to satisfy our own desires – searching for something else to satisfy us, something else to fill us.

We must drive out the misplaced priorities that clog our path to the true temple of faith. We must embrace and live out the first commandment: “I, the LORD am your God, You shall have no other gods besides me.”

"Cleansing our temple" means making God a priority in our lives once again.
