J.M.J.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
“Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour."
Our Lord Jesus Christ emphasizes that our death and the Last Day will come at the appointed hour, not the hour of our choosing. By living lives grafted onto the Vine that is Christ, then we will be prepared for our passing. We ask Our Lady many times each day to pray for us "now and at the hour of our death. Amen." V. Saint Joseph, Patron of a Happy Death. R. Pray for us.
*Let us pray for +Sister Loretta, +Monsignor Mahowald, Judy Waldera, Donna Squires, Teresa Louise, Kathy Engerbrecht, Heather Marie, Sue Bullard, Father Dana Christensen, and Father Charles Duman.
*Thank you to Delores Leitheiser and her Family for the very beautiful Ciborium, crafted in Spain, that was given to Saint Martin of Tours Parish in memory of Harold. May his Soul rest in peace.
*Many thanks to all those who have submitted the names of their loved ones to be remembered during the Month of November. Please be assured that these Souls will be prayed for and sacrificed for during these thirty days.
*We pray for all who won and those who lost during the General Election. Let us not to forget to ask God to bestow His Grace upon our Country.
“What is Your Question?”
By Father Ben Miriam
Q. What is the Ostensorium?
A. Ostensorium means, in accordance with its etymology, a vessel designed for the more convenient exhibition of some object of piety. Both the name ostensorium and the kindred word monstrance (monstrancia, from monstrare) were originally applied to all kinds of vessels of goldsmith's or silversmith's work in which glass, crystal, etc. were so employed as to allow the contents to be readily distinguished, whether the object thus honored were the Sacred Host Itself or only the Relic of some Saint. Modern usage, at any rate so far as the English language is concerned, has limited both terms to vessels intended for the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, and it is in this sense only that we use ostensorium here. (From the late Father Thurston.)
