Chaplain's Chatter: Thoughts, Reflections and Musings from the Catholic Chaplain
Greetings Everyone!
This week we will celebrate two great feasts: All Saints on Tuesday, November 1 and All Souls on Wednesday, November 2.
The Feast of All Saints is a Holy Day of the Church honoring all saints, known and unknown. All Saints is much like Veteran’s Day and President’s Day when many people are honored on one day. All Saints Day is tied to our belief in the Communion of Saints. This is the belief that all of God's people, on heaven and earth, are connected in a communion. In other words, we believe that the saints are just as alive as you and I, and constantly serve as a source of inspiration for us. All Saints is a Holy Day of obligation.
November 2 is the Commemoration of All the Faithfully Departed or more commonly known as All Soul's Day. All Souls is the day to remember and pray for all of our loved ones who have died. It is considered a day to remember those who have died that serve as saints in our own lives.
We will celebrate two Masses on Tuesday, November 1st for All Saints at 12:10PM and 7:00PM and Mass at 12:30PM for All Souls.
Peace,
~ Jamie

"Spiritual 'guides' do not show us how to be like them, but how
to be more ourselves, how to find our own hidden gifts, how to
respond to the sacred voice that issues from our own hearts
and from the challenge of our time and place.”
~ Robert Ellsberg
Ellsberg’s life’s work and vocation as a writer and editor began at the Catholic Worker house in New York City. In 1975, at the age of 19, he went to work there and, after just a few months, Dorothy Day asked him to serve as managing editor of the Catholic Worker paper. In the following years, Ellsberg dedicated himself to editing her work and promoting her mission. He has edited Dorothy Day: Selected Writings; The Duty of Delight: The Diaries of Dorothy Day; and All the Way to Heaven: Selected Letters of Dorothy Day. In addition, he has edited anthologies of Thich Nhat Hanh, Gandhi, Flannery O’Connor, Harvey Cox, and Charles de Foucauld.
Muslim-Catholic Alliance
Participants will learn from the story of the peaceful encounter between St. Francis of Assisi and Sultan Malek al-Kamil to increase understanding between Christians and Muslims and to demonstrate how Christians and Muslims can work together for social justice. It will be seen how both the Bible and Quran both call for actions that promote the common good and love of neighbor.
If you are interested in being involved in the Muslim-Catholic Alliance, please email Jamie Fazio at jfazio1@naz.edu.
