Pastor's Reflection
Dear Sisters, Brothers and Friends of ALL Saints Catholic Church:
Greetings and Praise the Lord.
Keep Your Lamps Burning
On this 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Gospel calls believers to vigilance, faithfulness, and readiness for the coming of the Lord.
In today’s Gospel (Matthew 25:1–13), Jesus tells the parable of the ten virgins waiting for the bridegroom. Five are wise and bring extra oil for their lamps, while five are foolish and bring none. When the bridegroom is delayed, all grow drowsy and fall asleep. At midnight the call comes: “Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!”
The foolish virgins realize their lamps are going out and ask for oil, but it is too late. They go away to buy some, and while they are gone, the bridegroom arrives. The wise enter the wedding feast, and the door is locked. Jesus ends with a warning: “Stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”
This parable teaches the importance of spiritual preparedness. The oil symbolizes faith, grace, and the works of holiness that cannot be borrowed at the last moment. Each person must cultivate a relationship with God through prayer, the Sacraments, and faithful living.
Life can easily become distracted by worldly concerns, causing hearts to grow careless. The delay of the bridegroom represents the time before Christ’s return. The Gospel reminds that discipleship is not temporary enthusiasm but a steady commitment.
The call today is to keep lamps burning—living with hope, integrity, and perseverance. Readiness does not mean fear, but trust. Christ desires His people to be prepared with hearts filled with faith and love.
This Sunday encourages renewed vigilance. The Lord comes in unexpected moments: in daily opportunities for mercy, in times of trial, and ultimately at the end of life.
May this Eucharist strengthen faith, keep hearts watchful, and inspire lives ready to meet Christ with joy when He comes.
From Pastor’s Desk…Fr. Freddie

Prayer of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

Saint Michael the Archangel prayer
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our defense
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 power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
A Nation’s Prayer
God our Father, giver of life,
we entrust the United States of America to your loving care.
You are the rock on which this nation was founded.
You alone are the true source of our cherished rights to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness.
Reclaim this land for your glory and dwell among your people.
Send your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation’s leaders.
Open their minds to the great worth of human life and the responsibilities
that accompany human freedom.
Remind your people that true happiness is rooted in seeking and doing your will.
Lead us into a new millennium of life.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
