+JMJ+SUNDAY BIBLICAL MASS READINGS AND QUESTIONSfor Self-Reflection, Couples or Family DiscussionSolemnity of All Saints – Sunday, November 1, 2026The First Reading - Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14I, John, saw another angel come up from the East, holding the seal of the living God. He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who were given power to damage the land and the sea, “Do not damage the land or the sea or the trees until we put the seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” I heard the number of those who had been marked with the seal, one hundred and forty-four thousand marked from every tribe of the children of Israel. After this I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue. They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne, and from the Lamb.” All the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They prostrated themselves before the throne, worshiped God, and exclaimed: “Amen. Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanksgiving, honor, power, and might be to our God forever and ever. Amen." Then one of the elders spoke up and said to me, “Who are these wearing white robes, and where did they come from?” I said to him, “My lord, you are the one who knows.” He said to me, “These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress; they have washed their robes and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb.”Reflection This protecting angel appears from the direction of the rising sun, the source of light and the place of paradise (Genesis 2:8). God’s actions in history traditionally came from the East (see Isaiah 41:1-4, 25; 46:11; Ezekiel 43:1-3). It was also from the east that the messiah was expected. This angel comes as the representative of Christ, the sun of righteousness who has risen with healing in His wings [Malachi 4:2]. The imagery which Saint John draws upon here is taken from Ezekiel 9:1-7. The seal of the Spirit (Ephesians 1:13; 4:30) is applied to the righteous before the seals of wrath are applied to the wicked; Pentecost precedes Holocaust. The protective mark in Ezekiel 9 is literally tav, the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The ancient Hebrew form of the tav was a cross – a fact which was not lost on the early Church which saw it as a prophetic reference to the sign of the cross used by Christians. It is possible that the use of the sign of 3 the cross in baptism may have originated in this passage. Adults - Is there a crucifix in your home? If not find a place and put one in the main room. Teens - Why do you think the east is the traditional direction of God’s actions?Kids - Take special time when making the Sign of the Cross - it is a prayer in itself. Responsorial- Psalm 24:1BC-2, 3-4AB, 5-6 R.Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.The LORD’s are the earth and its fullness;the world and those who dwell in it.For he founded it upon the seasand established it upon the rivers.R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.Who can ascend the mountain of the LORD?or who may stand in his holy place?One whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean,who desires not what is vain.R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.He shall receive a blessing from the LORD,a reward from God his savior.Such is the race that seeks him,that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face. Reflection This Psalm reminds us that God should be the center of our worldview. How do you put God at the center of your life?The Second Reading- 1 John 3:1-3Beloved: See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope based on him makes himself pure, as he is pure. Reflection - “see what love” In the truest and most absolute sense, God’s gift of love has been the gift of His only Son as savior of the world (John 3:16). It is this gift that has 1) Opened heaven for us; 2) Given us the sacrificial meal so we can eat of it and join in His family covenant. -Do you think of the Eucharist as a family meal?The Holy Gospel according to Matthew 5:1-12AWhen Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.”Reflection The teaching was not just to the twelve but in reaction to Jesus’ seeing the crowds. Commentators have postulated that the crowd formed concentric rings around Jesus with the twelve making up the innermost ring. To understand the meaning of blessing we must look to the Old Testament where it is conceived as a communication of life from God. With life comes vigor, strength, and success, which brings one peace of mind and peace with the world. Adults - Meekness is not weakness, but it is gentleness. How do you practice this virtue in your life?Teens - How do you work as a peacemaker in your daily life?Kids - What does it mean to be poor in spirit?LIVING THE WORD OF GOD THIS WEEK! - During the year the Church celebrates one by one the feasts of the saints. Today she joins them all in one festival. In addition to those whose names she knows, she recalls in a magnificent vision all the others "of all nations and tribes standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands, proclaiming Him who redeemed them in His Blood."The feast of All Saints should inspire us with tremendous hope. Among the saints in heaven are some whom we have known. All lived on earth lives like our own. They were baptized, marked with the sign of faith, they were faithful to Christ's teaching and they have gone before us to the heavenly home whence they call on us to follow them. The Gospel of the Beatitudes, read today, while it shows their happiness, shows, too, the road that they followed; there is no other that will lead us whither they have gone.
