Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments.   Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission:  "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word. " (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1213) Basic Guidelines and Information Parents are responsible for bringing their child to the Sacrament of Baptism as soon after birth as possible. Except in case of necessity, the church is the usual place of baptism. In order that a child be baptized, it is necessary that the parents' consent, or at least one of them, or someone legally standing in their place, and that there is reasonable hope that the child will be brought up in the Catholic Faith. Godparents Catholics must have fully initiated Catholics as godparents; that is Godparents in a Catholic baptism needs to be a practicing Catholic and also needs to have received the three sacraments of Initiation - Baptism, First Eucharist, and Confirmation. A Godparent cannot be expected to mentor a godchild if the Godparent himself/herself hasn't received all of the sacraments of initiation.   A person... --- ### First Communion - Published: 2017-03-30 - Modified: 2018-05-21 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/first-communion/ We were blessed to have so many of our children make their First Eucharist this year.

The letters traditionally refer to the legendary names of the three kings: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar (Scripture neither names them nor says there were three of them). Another tradition refers to it as the abbreviation of the Latin phrase, Christus mansionem benedicat, translated as "May Christ bless this house. "   To chalk the door for Epiphany, one would write in chalk on the outside lintel above the door: 20 + C + M + B + 17.     After singing a joyful hymn, such as "O Come, All Ye Faithful", all make the sign of the cross. The leader begins:   Leader:            X Peace be with this house and with all who live here. Blessed be God for ever.   All:                   Blessed be God forever!   The leader may use these or similar words to introduce the blessing:   Leader:            Today we gather in this holy place to recognize that Christ dwells here.   As the Three Kings followed the light of the star, we too follow the light of Christ... --- ### Proclamation of Easter and the Moveable Feasts - Published: 2016-12-21 - Modified: 2016-12-21 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/proclamation-easter-moveable-feasts/       Know, dear brethren, (brothers and sisters,) that, as we have rejoiced at the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, so by leave of God's mercy we announce to you also the joy of his Resurrection, who is our Savior.   On the first day of March will fall Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of the fast of the most sacred Lenten Season.   On the sixteenth day of April you will celebrate with joy Easter Day, the Paschal feast of our Lord Jesus Christ.   On the twenty-fifth day of May will be the Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ.   On the fourth day of June the feast of Pentecost.   On the eighteenth day of June, the feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.   On the third day of December, the First Sunday of Advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom is honor and glory for ever and ever.   Amen. --- ### Vacation Bible Camp - Published: 2016-04-09 - Modified: 2024-06-26 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/events/vacation-bible-camp/ Elementary K-5th Grade Vacation Bible Camp August 5-9, 9am to noon Register Now!

Family Promise is a national program providing shelter for homeless families using an interfaith network (group of local churches).   At least 13 organizations partner to provide shelter.   Each host organization provides shelter, dinner and breakfast for up to 15 people from Sunday afternoon until Sunday morning the following week.   After that week, the families move to another mosque, synagogue or church for the next week.   Each organization will typically host families four times in a year. Information about the National Family Promise organization, including videos, success stories and a list of the cities where Family Promise is operating can be found at www. familypromise. org Information about the Albany area affiliate can be found at familypromiseofthecapitalregion. org The Albany affiliate has been hosting families since 2015.

On behalf of the one thousand parishioners who call the Church of St. Mary their home, welcome! St. Mary's is located in the town of East Greenbush and was founded in 1927 as a mission church of St. John's Church in the city of Rensselaer. In 1961, the small mission church burned while the building of the new parish school was underway. As a result, the gymnasium of the school became the new temporary worship space. We are still in this same space but it has truly become a wonderfully prayerful environment for our worship. St. Mary's is a growing parish. Employment in our area is plentiful. New and exciting companies are establishing roots nearby and many existing companies are expanding. While this new infusion of business has attributed to our growth, I like to think that it is the vibrancy of our community that has brought many our way. We are open to all people and we take our commitment to stewardship of time, talent and treasure seriously, as well as our commitment to living out the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We would love to have you stop by for a visit and perhaps even consider joining us. We are a lively, faith-filled and diverse community consisting of some young, some not so young, some married, single or divorced, some with children, and some without…but each of us has a common thread woven within us: we are all seeking the Lord and... --- ### Photo Galleries - Published: 2012-08-14 - Modified: 2015-03-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/multimedia/photo-galleries/ --- ### Child-based Ministries - Published: 2012-06-26 - Modified: 2019-07-28 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/ministries/stewardship/parish-ministries/liturgy-of-the-word-for-children-and-childcare-ministry/ Liturgy of the Word for Children Offers children ages four to eight the opportunity to celebrate the Liturgy of the Word on a level they can better relate with and understand For more information, or to share in this ministry, please click here to contact the parish office.

They share Worship Aids and Bulletins as well. Whenever possible, Hospitality Ministers choose the people that are going to bring the gifts up to the Altar during the Presentation of the Gifts.   Often, they choose relatives of living and/or deceased parishioners for whom that Mass is being offered.   Hospitality Ministers also take up the collection from the Faithful, and bring that collection to the Altar. Finally, Hospitality Ministers help guide the Faithful to receiving Holy Communion, and notify the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion that there are people unable to approach the Altar due to mobility issues. If you are interested in becoming a Hospitality Minister, please contact Deacon Al Censullo.

If you are interested in becoming an EM, please contact Deacon Al Censullo: DeaconAl@wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com To read a summary guide and checklist, please click here:  Extraordinary Minister of the Holy Communion Checklist To view a training video, please click play below:     --- ### Altar Server - Published: 2012-05-27 - Modified: 2019-07-28 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/ministries/altar-server/ Altar Servers are key to the Liturgy happening smoothly.   Their duties begin prior to the Liturgy by setting needed items in the Sanctuary, followed by the Procession into the church.   The Altar Servers lead the Deacon, Priest and others into the church by carrying the Processional Cross and Candles.   As the Liturgy continues, the Altar Servers assist the Deacon and/or Priest with his prayer binder and other important items used throughout the Liturgy, including the Thurible (censor) and Aspergillum (for sprinkling Holy Water).   They also light candles prior to the Mass beginning, and also as the Liturgy of the Eucharist begins.

Would you like to know more about the process used to help people do just that?   We wish to assist you in your search for answers to questions you may have about the various processes called "the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults" (or OCIA). What made you decide to seek information about becoming a Catholic? Perhaps you are going to marry (or are already married to) a Catholic…maybe you have friends who are Catholic…maybe you are interested in the teachings of the Catholic Church…maybe you have a desire to experience the sacraments of the Church…or maybe, just maybe, God has been tugging at you and you feel more ready to respond to Him.   There are many ways that God calls a person into relationship with Jesus Christ, and we are happy to help you on this journey. The Catholic Church has established a process to help you seek God: the "Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults".   Entering into the process of RCIA is not a commitment to become Catholic; rather, it is the expression of one's desire to consider and possibly develop a deeper relationship with Christ and the faith of the Catholic Church. Is the OCIA process for you? It may be.   Our experience has demonstrated that people who find themselves in one of the following three categories find this process extremely beneficial for their spiritual lives: Those who are not baptized (also known as "catechumens") Those who were baptized in another... --- ### Pastoral Council - Published: 2011-02-28 - Modified: 2022-07-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/ministries/administrative-ministries/pastoral-council/ Parishes' Pastoral Council In the Fall of 2016, the Parish Pastoral Councils of both St. John the Evangelist & St. Joseph of Rensselaer and the Church of St. Mary at Clinton Heights began the process of establishing a new, singular "Parishes' Pastoral Council" to serve our parishes as a wider community.   This is a natural progression as our parishes have worked most closely together over these last two years.   On September 27, 2016, the following Preamble and Statutes were adopted: Preamble Section 1 - Jesus Calls All to be His Disciples through Baptism The Lord Jesus, after His saving and glorious Resurrection, and immediately prior to His Ascension to the Father, approaches the disciples and says to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:18b-19).   From this foundational moment, Christ demonstrates His desire for all to be one in Him, through the power of the Holy Spirit, such power which is truly life-giving.   "All Christians consecrated by the Holy Spirit through the sacrament of Christian initiation ‘into a spiritual house and a holy priesthood' are called by Christ the Lord himself to cooperate actively in the saving mission of all the priestly people of God. "  This cooperation is open to all, and it forms an ecclesial communionand communitywhich is the Church, the Body of Christ. Section 2 -... --- ### Cantors, Various Choirs, & Instrumentalists; Worship Aids & Liturgy of the Word texts - Published: 2010-12-02 - Modified: 2021-04-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/ministries/cantor-choir-worship-aids-and-liturgyofthewordtexts/ Our Parish Music Ministry consists of dozens of volunteers who share their musical talents. Cantors lead the assembly in song by singing all of the music during a Liturgy from the Altar area, in front of the Congregation. Cantors should be strong and confident in their singing.   The ability to sight read music is necessary at times. The "Senior" Choir sings primarily at the 11am Mass, and practices on Thursdays at 6:30pm. Members of the choir range in abilities, from beginners to well-experienced.   Choir members must be able to sing on-key.   The ability to read music is helpful, but not necessary if the singer is a good follower. In the Fall of 2017 we introduced a Cherub Choir that often rehearses at the same time as the Children's Choir but in the Chapel  in a manner designed for pre-K, kindergarten and 1st graders who are just beginning to learn how to read.   The Children's Choir sings at least 4 times per year: Christ the King, Christmas, Easter and Mother's Day (Crowning of Mary).   The Children's Choir and Teen Ensemble often combine on major feasts. The Teen Ensemble includes instrumentalists, singers and Teen Cantors.   The Teens also provide music at the monthly Sunday LCC 7pm mass, occasional Sunday mornings and for major feasts. Please let your private instructor or your school's vocal or instrumental music teacher that Carl Hackert is available to accompany parishioner's of CSM for their NYSSMA solo competitions.

Some people wonder what kind of translation the children use.   Their readings are taken from the Children's Lectionary, where the context of the readings is the same as the ordinary Lectionary, however, the stories are written in a way that children can better relate to.   The Leader's role (a trained adult and/or young adult) is to help break open the scriptural stories and help articulate what God is really saying.   Yes, this liturgy is especially beneficial to the young children because they are able to interact with each other and ask questions.

Truly, a significant aspect of our Parish Mission statement recognizes that formation of faith is a lifelong process with which each baptized person has been graced.   Sacred Book Club Our Christian faith formation does not end with the sacrament of confirmation. Although the Church calls us to continually renew, learn, and evangelize our faith, our busy lives often prevent us from fully devoting ourselves to these efforts.   We also spend too little time reading and contemplating sacred Scripture. Yet it is critical for adult Catholics to study the Bible for the fundamental reason that, "Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ. " (St. Jerome) As part of our adult faith formation this fall, the Church of St. Mary is offering parishioners the opportunity to attend a "Sacred Book Club" which will be reviewing the Gospel of St. Luke. This monthly gathering will not be a traditional class with an instructor with students.   Instead, it is intended to be an informal group examination of the Gospel that will be guided by facilitators. The intent is to learn about Luke's Gospel through group discussion that will lead, hopefully, to a deeper understanding of God's Word. We are excited to begin the Sacred Book Club, to meet among friends and neighbors to share in an examination of the Bible as part of... --- ### Family Formation - Published: 2010-11-19 - Modified: 2019-05-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/family-formation/ What is Family Formation? Family Formation is a truly innovative faith formation program for families with children in Kindergarten through tenth grade.   It is based on the principle that "Parents are the primary educators in the faith" (GDC 255), Family Formation is designed to be used at home, in the domestic church. Family Formation offers a fresh, new approach to catechesis it is family-based, has an adult education component at its core, is founded on the truth and teachings of the Catholic Church, and strengthens families to become the domestic churches our Holy Father has called them to be. This unique, challenging, and creative curriculum is designed to make living the faith a way of life and a life-long learning adventure. How is the program run? Families gather together at the parish once a month, for one with a catechist.   During this time, families focus on one of the four pillars of the Catholic faith, (Creed, Morality, Sacraments, Prayer), enabling families to have follow-up discussions about their faith. Before each family leaves, they are given a packet of Home Lessons to be used each week throughout the remainder of the month.   Each home lesson offers parents a great deal of flexibility and a variety of activities. This allows parents, who are the best judges of their children's needs, skills, and attention span, to tailor lessons to their family's needs. We encourage parents to challenge but not overwhelm their young children, knowing that lessons will be covered again the next time... --- ### High School 9th - 12th grade - Published: 2010-11-19 - Modified: 2018-09-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/high-school-9th-12th-grade/ Faith Formation Schedule Grades 9 and 10 Grades 11 (Confirmation prep) Upcoming Events         --- ### Middle School 6th - 8th grade - Published: 2010-11-19 - Modified: 2018-09-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/middle-school-6th-8th-grade/ You can find the middle school faith formation schedule here.   --- ### Elementary K - 5th grade - Published: 2010-11-19 - Modified: 2025-02-10 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/faith-formation/elementary-k-5th-grade/ The Church teaches that parents are to be the first and primary educators of the Faith to their children. It is at the Rite of Baptism children first experience God in the arms of their parents, and parents take a vow at their child's baptism, agreeing to teach and bring their child up in the faith of the church. The Church of St. Mary at Clinton Heights honors the right and privilege of parents to be involved in the Faith Formation of their child, and we are pleased to be a part of your family's faith journey.   The Pastoral Associate for Evangelization and Catechesis along with the Catechists and Volunteers understand it is a privilege to teach and share the beliefs of our Catholic faith and we are here to support you on your journey with your children.

And, consider those who assisted the disciples in sharing the message of Christ's dying and rising with the vast new lands and peoples that had yet to hear of His name?   And, even in the face of persecution, trial and certain death, the martyrs and so many countless saints simply offered all that they hadeven their very livesin order to follow Christ most intimately and faithfully.

The Funeral Liturgy This is the most important element of the celebration of the Rites of Christian Death.   Usually, this liturgy is within the context of Mass.   The bodily remains are honored by being brought to the Church.   We celebrate the life of the deceased in the whole context of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Committal (Burial or Entombment) A member of the Bereavement Team will accompany the remains of the deceased and the family to the cemetery, where the Rite of Christian Burial will conclude with the prayers of Committal and... --- ### Sacrament of Marriage - Published: 2010-09-08 - Modified: 2024-04-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/sacrament-of-marriage/ Celebrating the Sacrament of Marriage Congratulations on your engagement and decision to enter into Catholic marriage! We at the Church of St. Mary will help you in your preparation to ensure that you make this serious and sacred step in your life a holy and happy one. Spiritual preparation is a key part of this special time.   Frequent participation in the sacraments during this time is important, particularly weekly Mass.   It is also strongly recommended that you bring yourselves to the Sacrament of Reconciliation during this time of preparation.   The engagement period can be particularly stressful at times, and the graces bestowed on you through Reconciliation and weekly Mass will be a great source of strength to help keep you focused and at peace.   This spiritual direction will foster great growth and maturity for both partners. STEP ONE The bride and/or groom should be registered member/s of our parish, actively supporting our community as good stewards of their time, talents and treasure.   A bride or groom who has moved away but whose family remains registered and supportive of the parish will be given due consideration. The day and time of the wedding must be arranged in person by the prospective bride and groom as soon as they feel called by God to enter into marriage.   No arrangement can be made by phone or with parents.   All arrangements should be made at least 9 months prior to the proposed wedding date. The normal time for weddings at the Church of St... . --- ### Reconciliation - Published: 2010-09-08 - Modified: 2022-07-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/reconciliation/ Sacrament of Reconciliation: This sacrament of God's loving mercy is celebrated on non-holiday Thursdays beginning at 5:30pm, or any other time and place of convenience.

Tom's Blog   There is a country and western hymn written in the 1970’s that we are all familiar with: “One day at a time, sweet Jesus, one day at a time”. Marijon Wilkins wrote it at a time when it looked like she had everything: money, nice clothes, fine car, but she didn’t feel like she was in the right place; she only wanted to be a gospel music writer. After speaking with a young minister in a small country church who asked her one question: “Did you ever think about thanking God for your problems? ”, she went home and with Kris Kristofferson, wrote this song. From that one question comes the focus that begins our Advent reflections for this year. Over the last months, I have heard people say and thought it myself that we cannot wait to get back to normal. But all of todays readings point us in another way. They call us to remember that we cannot change the past. We can only live today in “joyful hope” of the Lord’s coming. However, that doesn’t mean sitting around doing nothing waiting for Jesus to come. He will come again, but will we recognize him? Will we know him? In reality, this is the Christian paradox. Our normal is that there is no normal. We are a people who live in the expectation of a new heaven and a new earth but living out the message of Jesus today. We need to pray the words of the song:... --- ### November 29, 2020 - First Sunday of Advent - Published: 2020-11-29 - Modified: 2020-11-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/november-29-2020-first-sunday-of-advent/ - Categories: Fr.

The time has come to return to our regular Sunday morning schedule of 8:00am and 11:00am beginning next weekend 9/20. However, all the COVID restrictions remain in place.

If you feel sick in anyway: flu, stomach issues, etc. , please stay home and watch Mass live-streamed. The obligation to attend remains suspended by the Bishop. We will be live-streaming the 8:00am, but you can watch it at any time. We will still have communion in the parking lot after the 11:00am Mass for the time being (probably until it snows).

Tom's Blog As we begin to gather again in person for Mass and the Sacraments, remember that we were closed as a Church. We have prayed for and with each other, we have taken care of each other, the mission to the needy continues, our youth and families have continued to be formed in the faith, and we have continued to be Church. My prayer is that as we reopen, we reopen to a more vibrant and alive Church: a Church that models itself on the apostolic zeal and mission of the early church in the Acts of the Apostles. May the Spirit blow like a might wind in our community and through us change our world. Here are two (2) very important documents: • Reopening plan that was approved by the Diocese • Reopening plan for our parish office CSM Church Plan CSM Return to Work Plan June 2020 --- ### Mass of Friday of the 10th Week in Ordinary Time - Published: 2020-06-12 - Modified: 2020-06-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/mass-of-friday-of-the-10th-week-in-ordinary-time/ - Categories: Fr.

Tom's Blog             I was in Jerusalem a few years ago and I had the privilege to go to the Upper Room where the Last Supper had been.   You were would think there would be an altar and all the visible signs of Christianity.   However, it was an empty room with nothing in it. As I imagined the scene in the Upper Room from Acts,  this empty room captured the moment for me.             They felt alone, didn’t know what to do next, they knew they were waiting but didn’t know for who or what . So what did they do?   Together with Mary and a few others, they sat in prayer waiting to have the emptiness in their heart filled.   They took that time to stop and enter into a time of prayer and reflection about who they were as the followers of Jesus.   What amazes me is that they just didn’t just come with up their own objectives and plan and just do it.   But, would it be the Body of Christ if they had done it?             There is a lot to learn from the empty Upper Room.   The very first is that we as a community of faith need to remember whose Church this is; it is not ours.   We  have to remember that Jesus left us the Apostles and their successors to lead and guide us.   As a priest, I promised respect and obedience to the Bishop and to the teachings that have been passed down since... --- ### Memorial Day Mass - Published: 2020-05-25 - Modified: 2020-05-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/memorial-day-mass/ - Categories: Fr.

Tom's Blog             Who can we be post PAUSE?   My hope is that we return, not to who we were in March 2020, but we return to the Church that was alive in the Spirit in the Acts of the Apostles in today’s first reading.   The same teachings and structure were there or developing, but the Advocate that Jesus promised ignited them with the power to witness and serve and love.             I wonder if for many years we have tried to be church on our own, without Jesus leading us.   The Gospel today reminds us that we are not orphans who are alone in this world.   In our baptism and confirmation, we become immersed in an eternal relationship with God.   We have never been  alone.   The early Church knew this.   They were less than a generation away from those who knew Jesus, heard him preach, shared meals with him and witnessed his death and resurrection.   They met  the real Jesus through these men and women who had a deep friendship with Jesus. .   The early church continued the relationship; they knew that Jesus was alive and they lived in His Spirit; the divine Spirit of God.   They knew that they were not orphans.             I have been praying this week asking myself the question:  where has that Spirit gone in my life?   Is the Divine Spirit, the Advocate, alive in our communities?   For myself, I would say yes, to the degree I allow it and try to control it.   Asa community yes,... --- ### May 19, 2020 Daily Mass - Published: 2020-05-19 - Modified: 2020-05-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/may-19-2020-daily-mass/ - Categories: Fr.

Tom's Blog Fr John F. Kavanaugh, a Jesuit Scripture scholar once wrote:  “I once heard a description of Middle Eastern shepherding practices that ties these two images together. The sheepfold, especially one unattached to a larger settlement or dwelling, is a circular wall of stones, topped by barriers of briar. There is a small opening for the sheep to pass through. Once they are all in, instead of closing a hinged gate, the shepherd simply lies across the opening, so that nothing or no one can get through without going over his body first, without confronting or even killing him. ”              At this current moment in history, we need to know that the Good Shepherd is here protecting and caring for us his sheep.   We are walking in a dark valley of fear and worry, but we need to have the faith that he is with us with his rod and staff to comfort us.   He brings us to the table of comfort when we are need peace in our hearts and he is near us when we are feeling we have had enough.    The Good Shepherd has gathered us into the flock of the Church and is at the gate protecting and caring for us.   Our God died to show us that even death and sin could not harm the Good Shepherd and he rose again to show us, his sheep, that suffering and pain is turned into joy.             So often, we run away from the shepherd not realizing that... --- ### May 12, 2020 Daily Mass - Published: 2020-05-12 - Modified: 2020-05-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/may-12-2020-daily-mass/ - Categories: Fr.

Tom's Blog             I  have been reflecting a lot the last few weeks on this very familiar Gospel.   One thing that keeps striking me is that they didn’t recognize Jesus.   Neither did Mary of Magdala in John’s Gospel.   Neither did the apostles in last weeks account and neither did Thomas.   I cant help but keep asking myself; would I?   I know what I would look for and I have an idea in my head what Jesus should act like; but is that really him?   Often, we do try to keep Jesus in a safe box with well defined parameters so we keep control over him (or at least the illusion of control).   The reality is that as hard as we try to “tame” Jesus; we can’t.             So what do we do?   Like the two on the road to Emmaus, we open our hearts to hear him and become a disciple or as the dictionary says:”to be a learner”.   Jesus is the one who will open our ears to the Scripture and to his presence in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. There is another element that can be over looked.   Once our hearts begin to recognize him, we need to ask him into our lives.   The two on the road asked him to remain with them in the inn.   Being a disciple is to ask Jesus to remain in our hearts and our lives every single day.   This is the fundamental meaning of prayer.   It is not as much about asking for... --- ### Second Sunday of Easter/Divine Mercy Sunday 2020 - Published: 2020-04-26 - Modified: 2020-04-26 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/second-sunday-of-easter-divine-mercy-sunday-2020/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog             Thomas is us today.   People are wondering where God is and if he is really here. Even in the church, we have our doubts and fears. Did God send this to us?   When we will be able to gather here in church?   Will our world go back to “normal’ or what will our world even look like?   Thomas was there the night of the Last Supper, and then ran away with the rest of them.   No one knows where he was when Jesus appeared to the rest, but it is possible that he was off somewhere trying to make some sense out of everything that had just happened in a very short period of time.   No one can fault Thomas for his lack of faith.    Why?   Because we have all been there.             Each person has had doubts and fears.   We all struggle with jumping in with both feet to live with Jesus.   I think the largest obstacle today is that  faith cannot be measured or quantified.     Thomas could touch the Risen Christ and believe; what helps us to believe?   Some want faith to be a happy feeling with no risk or responsibility.   This is not faith.   Some want faith to be God acting in a way we think God should act or God should give us exactly what we ask for.   For others, God has become a construct or idea that is read about but it has no real bearing in our lives.             Faith is a gift;... --- ### Easter Sunday 2020 - Published: 2020-04-26 - Modified: 2020-04-26 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/easter-sunday-2020/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Can’t you just wait to get back to normal?   I wish I had a dime for every time I have heard this over the last few weeks.   But, do we really want to get back to “normal”?   Did Mary of Magdala and the apostles go back to normal?   Absolutely not. The reality is that there will be a new normal; our world is forever changed. Over the last few weeks, I realized that we as a church cannot go back to “normal”.   The Easter mystery is not static nor can the Church settle for the status quo.   If we are to be the living and Risen Body of Jesus, then we need to be growing and changing.   Jesus can breath new life into our world through us if we allow him to.   It is a real possibility that the new life of the empty tomb is the new life that the Church can bring into the world.   We will indeed rise from the issues of this world; but our resurrection cannot be to the old way of doing things. Over the last 20 or more years, we have talked about the new evangelization: a new way to preach the Gospel.    Over the last three weeks, we have jumped into the new evangelization and I think more people are hearing the Good News of the Resurrection than before.   We have seen a restoration to faith formation happening at home where it really needs to be.   The reality of the domestic church... --- ### Good Friday 2020 - Published: 2020-04-26 - Modified: 2020-04-26 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/good-friday-2020/ - Categories: Fr.

A woman, obviously his mother, broke down when she saw him.   A cry came from the very depths of her being.   We cannot help think of all the people who live today ignoring the Cross that others carry. This emblem of suffering and shame is now for us who believe the emblem of hope and life And I love that old cross where the dearest and best, For a world of lost sinners was slain Love was never destroyed by that horrible scene.   In fact, on that Cross was not another political criminal, but Love incarnate.   From that pulpit, the greatest sermon of love was preached.   Give everything you have to others.   Hold nothing back.   Stripped of everything and even giving his mother away, he give his life so we would know God’s love.   In a very real way today, we have been stripped of a lot of things.   Were they or are they really important in the shadow of the Cross?     Isn’t Love the most important thing that flowed from that Cross? So I'll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last... --- ### Holy Thursday 2020 - Published: 2020-04-26 - Modified: 2020-04-26 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/holy-thursday-2020/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Jesus left us the greatest gift that a person can ever give another:  the gift of knowing who we are.   People spend a lifetime trying to figure this out.   They go on retreats, read self help books, go to therapy, attend workshops etc but may never figure out who they truly are.   As important as some of those things are, they  only point us to the path of how to discover who we are.   Jesus, on the other hand, shows us by his own example.   He gives us His very Self in the Eucharist to show us that we are His brothers and sisters. Jesus never counted the cost of His love or made it conditional.   Jesus didn’t limit His love to one group of people only; His love was for all.   As His disciples, we are called to do the same.  We are called to love others unselfishly and not make our love conditioned on something else.   Like Jesus who loved freely with no conditions, so must we.   We are called to embrace all humanity as brothers and sisters just as He did.   God’s love doesn’t play favorites.   God’s love embraces everyone; even those who do not believe in him. . The Eucharist is what enables us to love others as Jesus did. In John’s gospel,  the gift of the Eucharist shows us that we are servants.   All through the Gospels, we are told that the poor and the sinner will have the higher place.   We are told that the greatest... --- ### April 26, 2020 Third Sunday of Easter Mass - Published: 2020-04-26 - Modified: 2020-04-26 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/april-26-2020-third-sunday-of-easter-mass/ - Categories: Fr.

Tom's Blog The Passion is such a familiar story that we can miss the impact it has on us and it has on the world.   A man in betrayed by a friend and is publicly  executed for speaking the truth.   The rest of friends scattered when he was arrested and left him alone.   For the full impact of the Passion to hit us, we need to read it again and listen with ears of faith.   In the giving of the Eucharist in the beginning, we have the abiding sign of God’s eternal salvation.   In the Eucharistic ,we meet the very living presence of the Paschal Lamb that was offered on the altar of the Cross.   The grace that flowed from his Cross continues to flow into us through this gift.   In Jesus’ agony in the Garden, he is the example of how our sufferings and fears are our share in his.   We have all had that moment when we did not think we could through with something, but Jesus shows us that when we say yes to God, we say yes to the struggle, but we also say yes to the victory! How appropriate that lesson is for today.   This is our agony in the garden; this is our time of fear and anxiety.   Jesus teaches us that we need to give over our fears and struggles to the Father though his Cross and we will rise again. Judas’ betrayal and Peter’s denial are the reminders of what we are capable of.  ... --- ### April 5, 2020 Reflection - Published: 2020-04-06 - Modified: 2020-04-06 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/april-5-2020-reflection/ - Categories: Fr.

Tom's Blog, Parish Content Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion Introduction Palm Sunday celebrates two seemingly different stories. We begin the liturgy by commemorating Jesus’s triumphant journey to Jerusalem where he is greeted by shouts and songs of acclamation and joy. Everything seems to be going well. Jesus is hailed as a King and people wave palm branches to show their honor for him. By the time we reach the Gospel, however, we hear the Passion of Jesus Christ, recalling the events leading up to his crucifixion and death on the cross. It may seem strange that these two extremes are celebrated on Palm Sunday, but that is the reality of the Paschal Mystery. There is only one story. Jesus’s life, death and resurrection are all connected; It is impossible to separate them as isolated events. The same is true for our lives. Everything we do is united with Christ, the good times and the difficult ones. Even when God seems distant and far away, we know that we are always connected to the story of Jesus’s life, death and resurrection. We are always connected to Christ. As we begin Holy Week, take a moment to recall this narrative of Christ with your family. What are some events from Jesus’s life that stand out to you?

Tom's Blog, Parish Content Palm Sunday and Holy Week I learned this week that there will be no public Mass on Palm Sunday, Sunday, April 5th. Unfortunately, we also will not be allowed to distribute palms this year. These directives have come from Rome. Our liturgy that day will be streamed at 10:00am. I am also not hopeful that we will be able to have any of the services of Holy Week and Easter Sunday publicly. Again, these will all be live-streamed. I will put out the schedule of services for these Sacred Days. Even though we will not gather in person, we will celebrate the Sacred Days together virtually. I am so disappointed that this will happen, but, the good of all people comes first. I cannot take responsibility for us gathering and many of you getting sick.

We are connected in that love. We will leave the Mass video on Facebook for the rest of each day, but will take it down at night. Reconciliation is available on Thursdays's between 2:00 - 4:00PM by appointment only. Please know you are in our prayers and thoughts. Reach out to me if you need to.

Scharfenberger has announced that all regularly scheduled public Masses in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany — except weddings and funerals — will be canceled until further notice. Churches will, however, remain open for private prayer, pending further regulations.   In addition, all Confirmations have been canceled until further notice and will be rescheduled. Funerals and weddings may be attended only by close family and in accordance with social distancing and capacity requirements. Further restrictions may force a change in those guidelines as we go forward.   “Although we know how difficult it is for Catholics to be without the Mass and without the Eucharist, we must do our part to help ‘flatten the curve’ and stop the spread of COVID-19 in order to protect the most vulnerable among us,” Bishop Scharfenberger said when making the announcement. “I encourage the faithful to pray and fast as we continue our journey through this season of Lent. Try to include at least 15 minutes of daily intentional prayer, with family where possible and safe. Use the Bible, say the Rosary, watch Mass on TV, and please remember to pray for those who are suffering from the Coronavirus worldwide and for all those in the medical community who are on the front lines. ”  The Diocese of... --- ### Bulletin March 15, 2020 - Published: 2020-03-15 - Modified: 2020-03-11 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-15-2020/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Bulletin-March-15-2020. pdf --- ### Bulletin March 8, 2020 - Published: 2020-03-08 - Modified: 2020-03-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-8-2020/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Bulletin-March-8-2020. pdf --- ### Bulletin March 1, 2020 - Published: 2020-03-01 - Modified: 2020-02-26 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-1-2020/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Bulletin-March-1-2020. pdf --- ### Bulletin February 23, 2020 - Published: 2020-02-23 - Modified: 2020-02-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-23-2020/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Bulletin-February-23-2020. pdf --- ### Bulletin February 16, 2020 - Published: 2020-02-16 - Modified: 2020-02-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-16-2020/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Bulletin-February-16-2020. pdf --- ### Will we do it God's way or ours? - Published: 2020-02-12 - Modified: 2020-02-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/will-we-do-it-gods-way-or-ours/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog The Scriptures today give us a measuring stick of how to live as a Church and Christians. The first thing is that is not about me.   Jesus teaches us is that it cannot be about me.   Like St Paul, our main goal is to know Jesus and him crucified. His death shows us that our lives need to be sacrificed for the good of others.   This is such an opposite message we hear today even in the churches.   We seem to want to live the words of the old Frank Sinatra song: I planned each charted course, each careful step, along the byway, and more, much more than this, I did it my way. * So, if I am so completely in charge, I don’t need anyone else, care about anyone else.   I definitely don’t need God. I can do whatever I want, no matter who I step on, the poor and needy are not my concern, power is all I need. The God that Jesus reveals to us is not selfish.   God’s very nature is to focus on the other.   Since the reason we exist to be live as Jesus did, then we need to focus on the other.   The person who sits around us on Sunday but also the person who goes to Concerns U, Circles of Mercy, Joseph House, the City mission in Albany, the starving family in Africa, children who wake up every morning surrounded by violence, the Chinese man or woman who is sick with the... --- ### Will you be caught in the net of Christ? - Published: 2020-02-12 - Modified: 2020-02-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/will-you-be-caught-in-the-net-of-christ/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog The most familiar method of fishing is very simple.   Get a pole, some line, a hook and some bait and you are good to go.   Granted, there are some variations on this, but, in all reality, it is a simple. I am not sure Jesus’s analogy in the Gospel works with our type of fishing.   This is not what Jesus had in mind because he wasn’t familiar with our style of fishing. He would have been familiar with throwing out a net and dragging it back with the catch.   The apostles were given the mandate to throw out the net of God’s love and grace.   We are given the same mandate.   By throwing out the net of the Kingdom, you and I fulfill the fundamental responsibility of the Christian life:  to bring others to Christ.   So, how?   By first getting caught ourselves.   There is no way for us to bring people to Christ, unless we first are caught up in His love and grace.   As important as it is to go through the ritual of Baptism, it is not enough.   To be caught in Christ’s web:  is to know peace in our life, the grace to endure anything that life throws at us, the fortitude to stand firm in our faith even when it means standing against the tide of a society that puts selfishness first and God last.   Then and only then,  are we able to go fishing for Christ.   We are called to do this in our own... --- ### The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord - Published: 2020-02-12 - Modified: 2020-02-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/7414/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog   In all the world’s religions, water is used to cleanse a person from sin or as a rite of purification. People wash before some great transition in their lives.   John the Baptist and Jesus knew about the ritual washings that were required by the Law.   Some of the ritual washings were required when a person sinned which is probably the origin of what John was doing.   He called the people of his day to a concrete sign of a change of heart; a new beginning. So, why would Jesus need to repent?   After all, he was without sin.   It is here that Jesus changes the meaning of what this ritual bath was about; it was about a cleansing, but for a definite purpose.   As he walked out of that water, the Father reveals who Jesus is:  He is the eternal son of God filled with the divine Spirit.   Our baptism frees us from the power of sin and death to reveal who we are:  the beloved sons and daughters of the Father, we are brothers and sisters of Jesus and we are the living temples of the Holy Spirit. This is the beginning of Jesus’s public ministry.     Isaiah proclaimed what the mission of the savior would be: To establish justice:  a right relationship with God and others To be a light to the nations:  to enlighten others about Jesus to open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from confinement, and from the dungeon, those who live... --- ### Bulletin February 9, 2020 - Published: 2020-02-09 - Modified: 2020-02-05 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-9-2020/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Bulletin-February-9-2020. pdf --- ### Bulletin February 2, 2020 - Published: 2020-02-02 - Modified: 2020-01-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-2-2020/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Bulletin-February-2-2020. pdf --- ### Bulletin January 26, 2020 - Published: 2020-01-26 - Modified: 2020-01-22 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-26-2020/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Bulletin-January-26-2020. pdf --- ### Bulletin January 19, 2020 - Published: 2020-01-19 - Modified: 2020-01-15 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-19-2020/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Bulletin-January-19-2020. pdf --- ### Bulletin - January 12, 2019 - Published: 2020-01-12 - Modified: 2020-01-08 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-12-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Bulletin-January-12-2020. pdf --- ### Bulletin January 5, 2020 - Published: 2020-01-05 - Modified: 2019-12-31 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-5-2020/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Bulletin-January-5-2020. pdf --- ### Feast of Mary the Mother of God 2020 - Published: 2020-01-03 - Modified: 2020-01-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/7314/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog   SONY DSC   Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth The beginning of a New Year has a lot of promise. We don’t know what will happen: the joys and sorrows, the opportunities before us and plans that will get scrapped, the changes that God will ask of us, the opportunities for ministry that will cross our paths, and the list continues. God does not have it all mapped out, but the promise of Christmas is that he will walk through it all with us. His Birth is the promise that by taking on Flesh, God will always be with humanity. Mary teaches us today how to live this year in a way to grow in faith. The Gospel writer tells us that “And Mary kept all these reflecting on them in her heart. ” Mary kept praying over all the events in the life of Jesus and opened her heart to God to give her the insight she needed to make sense out of it all. What a great example to follow. No matter what is to happen this year we need to bring it to Jesus. I am sure she didn’t always understand what he was doing or why, but she opened her heart to him. So must we.

Tom's Blog This Sunday is one of the easiest and hardest Sundays to preach on. It is the easiest because we all have an experience of family whether it is good or bad and the hardest because we all have an experience of family whether it is good or bad. We all know that there are many different definitions of family in our world today:  mom and dad and kids, dad and dad, mom and mom, grandparents raising grandchildren, single moms and single dads,  blended families, children being raised in the foster care system, and the list continues.   Looking at all the definitions of family that we have, these are the things that seem consistent Basic unit of society no matter how the family is structured A group of people with some common purpose A group of people from a common stock and united by certain convictions or a common affiliation It is in this basic unit of society that we learn about how to be a man or woman of faith and part of the community of faith. The first two readings challenge us how to be a good family no matter the make up: respect one another, take care of each other, be kind to each other, admit when we are wrong, forgive each other, put on Christ, pray together and do everything in the name of Jesus Christ. If we could practice this in our basic units of society, in the family of the church, in the family of... --- ### Bulletin December 29, 2019 - Published: 2019-12-29 - Modified: 2019-12-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-december-29-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Bulletin-December-29-2019. pdf --- ### Merry Christmas 2019 - Published: 2019-12-24 - Modified: 2019-12-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/merry-christmas-2019/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Do  you have a hard time shopping for just the right gift? I often worry that what I give will not be liked or I will get the polite “Thank you” and the gift will end up in the back of closet or will be on the re gift list. I wonder if God felt the same way when he gave the gift of Himself in Jesus. Will they like the gift I am giving? So, what does the gift of Jesus mean? It is pure Love! It is the gift that keeps on giving! In Jesus we find hope. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I have a hard time keeping a sense of hope. World and national unrest, seeing many families try to deal with the stresses of today’s hectic pace of life, a rise in the opioid crisis, so many teens and people in the 20 and 30’s struggling with the stresses of life and sometimes choosing to opt out of life, people are hungry and cold and then all our own personal stresses. Isaiah re focuses us on the fact that the coming of a Savior would radically alter the world and begin something new. This new way of life can be ours! But, we need to surrender to Jesus as Lord for hope to be born is us. Will you, can I, open our hearts right now to Jesus as Lord? With a heart surrendered to Jesus, hope is born in us.

Tom's Blog It seems like people want everything yesterday, in our world. We give up on making a change because it doesn’t happen quick enough or the way we want it to. Many people who deal with depression and anxiety and many mental health problems struggle with this; I suspect that we all do. We think we should be a certain way. We have a tape running through our minds: I should be perfect, I should be happy, I am weak and cannot change, I am not good enough or worthy enough of change, if I change, then people will expect too much of me and I will fail... . . and the list continues. This line of thinking is what makes us blind, lame, deaf and certain parts of our hearts dead. We get trapped in our own thinking and put ourselves down and then feel there is no hope. We feed ourselves the line of: I am too old, not smart enough, why bother, I don’t want to even though I know I need to. I must do it all myself. Isaiah reminds us that the work of change is not ours; it is God’s. We only need to say yes to Him everyday of our lives. The signs of the kingdom that he writes about are already with us, if we let God in. Only God can “ Strengthen the hands that are feeble, make firm the knees that are weak. ” Only God can say to those who hearts are frightened: “Be... --- ### First Sunday of Advent 2019 The Kingdom is about change - Published: 2019-12-16 - Modified: 2019-12-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/first-sunday-of-advent-2019-the-kingdom-is-about-change/ - Categories: Fr.

In the eyes of God, no one is short or insignificant.   We don’t even need to climb a tree for God to notice us.   In the eyes of God, each of us is the tallest thing and the most precious creation he made.   Think about it, God didn’t build the tallest building or create some extraordinary event to tell show how much we are loved.   God became human, taking on all our frailty and imperfections except sin, to embody for us the immense mystery of Love.

Tom's Blog Fr Tom St Paul, in today’s second reading, is reflecting on his life as he is brought to Rome to be tried as a Christian. He knows full well that he would be martyred for the sake of Jesus. He sums up his life in the following words: I am already being poured out like a libation, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith. Our faith community is also on a journey heading towards the new Jerusalem. Like St Paul, this Sunday is an opportunity to take a step back and ask ourselves: How well are we doing? Jay and Lora, our trustees will be giving their bi annual report this morning. Back in June, I put forward my goal for the parish: that we become Spirit filled disciples of Jesus. I think the Spirit of Jesus is truly active and alive in our parish and we are striving to be true to the mission of the Church: to spread the Gospel by word and action. However unlike St Paul, we are not at the end of the journey. Jesus reminds us in the Gospel that we need to be people of prayer. Only in prayer, can we accomplish the mission. Every program and every activity of the community needs to be measured in how it helps us be people of mission. I know that I have fallen into the trap of measuring things... --- ### Bulletin October 27, 2019 - Published: 2019-10-27 - Modified: 2019-10-23 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-27-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Bulletin-October-27-2019. pdf --- ### Bulletin October 20, 2019 - Published: 2019-10-20 - Modified: 2019-10-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-20-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Bulletin-October-20-2019. pdf --- ### Bulletin October 13, 2019 - Published: 2019-10-13 - Modified: 2019-10-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-13-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Bulletin-October-13-2019. pdf --- ### Bulletin October 6, 2019 - Published: 2019-10-06 - Modified: 2019-10-02 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-6-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Bulletin-October-6-2019. pdf --- ### Bulletin September 29, 2019 - Published: 2019-09-29 - Modified: 2019-09-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-september-29-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Bulletin-September-29-2019. pdf --- ### Bulletin September 22, 2019 - Published: 2019-09-22 - Modified: 2019-09-18 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-september-22-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Bulletin-September-22-2019. pdf --- ### God is searching and waiting for us! - Published: 2019-09-17 - Modified: 2019-09-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/god-is-searching-and-waiting-for-us/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Imagine with me this scene. You are lost in the woods, disoriented because it all looks the same, you can’t find your trail map. What do you do? Most of us will begin to feel some level of panic, some will begin to run in different directions trying to find the way back, maybe the more experienced hiker will read the stars and moss on the tree. For most of us, our fear and panic will force us to sit down and wait, to hope that someone will know we are lost and call the rangers. Our life of faith is the same. Like the lost sheep, we run from one thing to another trying to find peace, hope, joy and find that whatever it is will works for a little while and then stop, so we eventually run to something else. God will continue to search us out, even if we don’t want to be found. Eventually, we run out of options and sit down, and God is right there waiting to pick us up, heal us and bring us home. What greater happiness can there be! Our God is a patient God. He will wait for us even though His heart is longing for us to be home with him. Like the father in the third parable, God waits for us to come home and will embrace us no matter what we may have done or the choices we have made.

Tom's Blog Jesus echoes the same sentiment I hear from many people in the church world today and one I have. How do we get more people involved in the life of the parish? Where are many of our young families and families with teens? Books are being written about the new evangelization and “how to’s”. There is no book that will have the answers and no program will turn the tide. Jesus tells us what will turn the tide: a living relationship with Him and not being afraid to publicly let people know who we are, even when it means giving up our comfortable Christianity. We need to be on fire with the same Holy Spirit that He sent into the world on the Day of Pentecost and continues to send the Spirit today. It is no mistake the Spirit is depicted by fire. What we need to do from a practical perspective is this: • A radical commitment to Jesus and to the Gospel, not just once, but every moment of every day. Will this be easy? Jesus reminds us that a radical commitment will set us apart and even our families will not understand. This radical commitment can only be sustained by a life of prayer and the celebration of the Sacraments. This is a non-negotiable. • A willingness to change. The Saints teach us that we need to change to have this radical commitment. St Francis of Assisi, Mother Theresa, St Oscar Romero of El Salvador.

After reading today’s Scriptures, I have been thinking about this most of the week.   I wish I could say it was always God, but let’s be honest, it isn’t.   Some days, it is my schedule, my need to get something done, some errand I need to run, my need to do something charitable, my time especially, when I think it is being wasted, and my list continues. What I notice in that list is the prevalence of the word, “I”.   If I hear Jesus right, what is important is putting His Father first not me, no matter what.   The parable is a striking reminder that if all the focus is me, even in ministry, then the barn I think I am filling for a rainy day is really a waste of my time.   By putting Jesus first, then everything we are about reflects His life that was spent putting the mission of the Father before anything.   He went to His Cross not to gain glory for himself, but to free you and me from death and sin.   He embraced His suffering to show us how much we are loved.   Even at that most profound moment, he even gave himself away in the mystery of the Eucharist and 2000 years later, we still experience it here at the altar of the Lord. Even in parish life, we can get narrow sighted.   We can focus on us and what we are about forgetting our call to do the mission... --- ### Bulletin August 4, 2019 - Published: 2019-08-04 - Modified: 2019-07-31 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-august-4-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Bulletin-August-4-2019. pdf --- ### Bulletin July 28, 2019 - Published: 2019-07-28 - Modified: 2019-07-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-july-28-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Bulletin-July-28-2019. pdf --- ### 16th Sunday...The Hospitality of God - Published: 2019-07-23 - Modified: 2019-07-23 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/16th-sunday-the-hospitality-of-god/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog   Both readings are about hospitality. God’s and ours. In Abraham, we see God’s. He welcomes the stranger and feeds them and cares for them.   That is how God is with us. We are never turned way, but welcomed. He never lets us go hungry or in pain; he feeds and soothes us. Mary shows us the posture of being hospitable to God. We open our hearts to him and let him in. Martha got wrapped up in the details and forget to be hospitable. Mary saw what was in front of her and opened her heart. May this week be a week of hospitality. May we allow ourselves to experience God’s hospitality and be hospitable to God in our hearts and lives. --- ### 14 th Sunday .... an update on the gospel - Published: 2019-07-23 - Modified: 2019-07-23 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/14-th-sunday-an-update-on-the-gospel/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Let’s update today’s Gospel a little. “And Jesus told them”: to not carry a cell phone or a computer, look at Facebook or Twitter, just bring the clothes you are wearing, not an extra set of expensive sneakers or a nice clean change of clothes. Jesus would say: go and remind people about me because many have forgotten and if they will not listen, don’t get discouraged just keep on telling my story. He would say: Don’t boast of anything you have or own, don’t see yourself as better than others, but boast only in me and in My Cross. Tell my people about a God who loves them like a mother and longs for them to come home and be with me. Tell them about my longing that they will feed at my Table by receiving My Body and Blood; the essential food of the life of faith. We are reminded today that the message we preach is not our own, but the message of Jesus. I am sure the 72 were afraid as they walked away and maybe even some of them got caught up in the “What ifs? ” What if there is no food or it gets cold or a robber comes? What if they don’t like the message and attack us? The list of the what ifs is long and can sometimes trap us. But, if we remain focused on Jesus and him alone then we have nothing to fear.

Tom's Blog       Jesus seems unreasonable in today’s Gospel.   Those things the men wanted to do weren’t bad.   However, the point is this:  our relationship with Jesus needs to be the most fundamental thing in our life.   To hear Jesus, say “Come, follow me” and to respond to that means that He will always be the core of our lives.   We cannot allow other things to replace that.   Yes, we have all the events of life to deal with: family, relationships, challenges, schedules, etc.   But, once we start following Jesus, we cannot allow all the things of life to distract us.   Focusing on him alone, there is nothing that will conquer us, not even death itself.      This maybe the greatest challenge to our time.   Frankly, we have too many distractions and opportunities to not follow Jesus.   Look at your calendars:  is there any place for prayer?   Yes, I believe that we pray all day, but is there a dedicated time for Jesus?   Jesus asks that we focus on him so he can show us through the dark times of life and be the beacon of hope in our times of darkness.   He calls us to look to him always so that our decisions will be Christ centered and made with the Gospel values in mind.     To commit ourselves to Jesus is to see that practice of the faith is not about what I get from it and the Church, but what do I bring to Jesus and how... --- ### The Body and Blood of the Lord - Published: 2019-06-29 - Modified: 2019-06-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/the-body-and-blood-of-the-lord/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog At my first mass almost thirty years ago, at the consecration when I genuflected, my first thought was “what I have just done? ”    I still stand in awe of the power of God that changes ordinary bread and wine into the living presence of the Lord Jesus. At every Eucharist, we are in the Upper Room to receive the greatest gift ever.   At every Mass, we are on Calvary as recipients of the grace of salvation that flowed from the side of Christ when the soldier pierced his side and blood and water flowed.    St John Chrysostom tells that this blood and water is the reality of Baptism and Eucharist and it is from there, the Church, you and I, were born.   It from the side of Christ crucified that we see the mission of the Church. We are to go and bring Jesus to others. In the Gospel: Who feeds the crowd?   Jesus? No!   He says to the disciples “Give them some food yourselves. "  The Jesus we adore; the Jesus we receive in the Blessed Sacrament, cannot be left in this Church.   We are to be living tabernacles.   We are challenged to reverence Him in all people and to bring all people His Love and Grace to the hungry of the world. Jesus says to each of us here today:  Give them, give the world, some food yourselves.   We cannot keep him locked away or see our reception of Holy Communion as a me and Jesus event.   We receive... --- ### Bulletin June 23, 2019 - Published: 2019-06-23 - Modified: 2019-06-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-june-23-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Bulletin-June-23-2019. pdf --- ### Holy Trinity: God is Love - Published: 2019-06-16 - Modified: 2019-06-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/holy-trinity-god-is-love/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog      If I stood here and thought I could explain the mystery of the Holy Trinity, then I would be a fool. Theologians for centuries have tried, but, the bottom line is this: God is a mystery that is experienced and lived. In our rational and scientific world, the fact that God cannot be found under a microscope or detected by the most sensitive equipment, people walk away from the faith saying it is all false. For you and me here today, Jesus is all the proof we need. His life and mission reveal all we need to know about God: God is Love. Not a sappy, syrupy love, but a love that sacrifices, focuses on the other, gives life, endures, forgives and never ends. Reread First Corinthians 13 and all you need to know about who God is there. In our baptisms, we are immersed into that Love and rise a new person with a new mission of life. Our mission as the baptized people of God is to spread the Love that is God into our world. Again, Jesus showed us how: to live and love as he did. Our baptism mandates a way of life that is not always easy, but, true love never is. True love takes effort on our part, has responsibilities, and means we live in specific way. Remember the words of a church song that was popular in the 1960’s and 1970’s: they will know we are Christians by our love.

Tom's Blog from Fr Tom This weekend is the biannual trustee report.  My part is to place before you the vision and the goals for our community. Over a year ago, I put forth the vision that we are disciples called to make disciples. I would like to add to that vision. My prayer and dream for our community is: that we will be Spirit-filled disciples who call others to Christ. The Dynamic Catholic event in September, I believe, can reignite our excitement and growth in the faith. However, it cannot just be 9/13. Together, enlivened and led by the Spirit, we need to work together on deepening our faith in Christ. We also need to be open to the Spirit leading us in new and uncharted territory. My prayer for the renewal of the Church in general and for us is that God will lead us into a radical sense of discipleship. How will we know it is happening? We will see the gifts of the Spirit among us: the gifts of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. The fruits of the Spirit will be in abundance among us: charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control and chastity. This is my dream and vision for us, this local Church Before Dave and Lora come up for their part of the report, I would like to thank Dave for his 6 years of service to this local community.

Tom's Blog Ask yourself a question: Who is Jesus praying for in today’s Gospel? Who is he bringing before the Father?   He has already prayed for the 12, and will pray for those who are not of the fold, but in this middle part of the High Priestly prayer, he is praying for us.   Just think about that:  Jesus stands before the Eternal Father knows each of us and brings us into the Mystery of God.   I don’t know about you, but that reality blows my mind. Jesus who suffered and died, Jesus who rose again and not seated at the right of the Father knows me by name and brings my needs and my life into the eternal mystery of God and this God cares and loves me and he does this for each of us.   What more can we ask from God?   St Stephen realized this.   He was so in awe of what Jesus did for him that nothing would silence him.   Even at the moment of his martyrdom, he forgives those who hurt him and entrusts himself into the hands of the Jesus who knew him by name.   St Stephen knew Jesus in the very depths of his heart as Lord and Redeemer and even during his suffering he kept his fixed on Jesus knowing that Jesus was right there next to him. In Jesus’ prayer, He reminds the Father that the 12 are the Father’s gift to him.   Do you ever see yourself as the gift of... --- ### Bulletin June 2, 2019 - Published: 2019-06-02 - Modified: 2019-05-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-june-2-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Bulletin-June-2-2019. pdf --- ### Bulletin May 26, 2019 - Published: 2019-05-26 - Modified: 2019-05-22 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-26-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Bulletin-May-26-2019. pdf --- ### Bulletin May 19, 2019 - Published: 2019-05-19 - Modified: 2019-05-15 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-19-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Bulletin-May-19-2019. pdf --- ### I give you a new commandment - Published: 2019-05-18 - Modified: 2019-05-18 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/i-give-you-a-new-commandment/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog I ran across a song this past week called the “Hand Song” by a group called Nickel Creek and a reflection that a Jesuit priest connected to it. Fr. John Foley wrote the following: A young boy picks roses for his mother. Trouble is, she has been raising these roses with great care, and he has now broken off the beautiful flowers. As he brings them to her, thorns dig into his hands. She lovingly extracts these, reminders of her roses, ... “and she knew it was love. It was one she could understand. He was showing his love and that’s how he hurt his hands”. This is the love that Jesus calls us too... . . a love that sacrifices for the need of another, a love that puts another first, a love that serves the rest.   The word in Greek, is “Agape” a  love is selfless and unconditional. Strong’s defines it as “brotherly love, affection, good will, love, benevolence. ” Why else would Jesus have gone to the Cross?   He went there to show us what true love entails. True love means getting our hands dirty, risk getting hurt, rejected, and thinking more about another no matter who that person is.   True love means even embracing those we may not like.   The love of a Christian accepts the fact that we can get wounded as Jesus, but the fear of getting wounded or even being hurt by the people we help cannot deter us from loving as Jesus did.   This can seem... --- ### Bulletin May 12, 2019 - Published: 2019-05-12 - Modified: 2019-05-08 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-12-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Bulletin-May-12-2019. pdf --- ### Do you know her name?

Tom's Blog I ran across this story this past week.  A pop quiz was given to a new class of nursing students in the first year of their training. Most of the students did well on the quiz until they came to the last question, which they all left blank.   That question was, "What is the name of the woman you see every morning who cleans our section of the school? "    The students thought that the question was a joke.   But when they got their papers back, every one of them was marked off for that question.   They protested.   The professor said, "Her name is June. In your careers you will meet many people.   All of them are significant.   They deserve your attention and care, even if all you can do is smile and say "hello. " The students never forgot the lesson, or June’s name. Jesus knows each of us by name no matter who we are or what we have done.   He died for each of us; not just for a select few.   His death and rising gives hope to all humanity.    Because he loved us so much, Jesus calls us to love all our brothers and sisters in the sheep fold.   I know I am not good at remembering names, but I strive to remember a face and who the person is.    I grew up in a house where I was often called by my brother’s name, thankfully not the cats, but I still knew that my mother and father... --- ### Will you throw out your net on the other side of the boat? - Published: 2019-05-07 - Modified: 2019-05-07 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/will-you-throw-out-your-net-on-the-other-side-of-the-boat/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog No one wants to fail.   In fact, there are many people who do not want to even make a mistake. This is often the reason we don’t want to change.   It isn’t because we cant; but we are  afraid if we try, we may not do it “right”. The disciples in today’s Gospel were like this.   Imagine: they are experienced fisherman, they knew the places where the fish were, they could read the lake, the weather... . and after doing all this: they fail.   This was on top of all the disappointment of the last day few days in Jerusalem.   Jesus had been crucified and died. Sure, they had seen him, but remember, they all had run away, Peter had denied him, Thomas doubted.   I cant imagine they were feeling really great. But, notice, it was into this failure, self doubt, and mistakes, that Jesus enters.   He challenges them to take a risk, to try one more time and see what happens.   By being willing to come up empty handed, they try one more time, this time on the other side of the boat and looks what happened; a full net of fish.   In fact, the number 156 was all the known species of fish at the point in history. The net was a symbol that the whole world was captured in the net of God, even those who didn’t yet know Jesus.   It would be through the imperfect apostles that the Jesus would be preached.   They realized, I think, that if... --- ### Bulletin May 5, 2019 - Published: 2019-05-05 - Modified: 2019-05-01 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-5-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Bulletin-May-5-2019. pdf --- ### Bulletin April 28, 2019 - Published: 2019-04-28 - Modified: 2019-04-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-april-28-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Bulletin-April-28-2019. pdf --- ### Easter - Published: 2019-04-24 - Modified: 2019-05-07 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/6589/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Our birth would have been no gain, had we not been redeemed. O wonder of your humble care for us! O love, O charity beyond all telling, to ransom a slave, you gave away your Son! These words from the Easter Proclamation that was sung tonight (or last night) puts this most sacred and central mystery of the Christian faith into perspective. Without Jesus’s life-giving death and resurrection, our lives would be empty. Too many people today try to put meaning in their lives in all sorts of different ways: in money, in power, in relationships, in things, and the list goes on. The Christian faith teaches us that without Jesus in our lives, we will dry up and wither away. We live in a time when God is taking second place in many people’s lives. There is a growing numb er of people who refer to themselves as “Nones” when asked what religion they are. We, the community of believers, are challenged, like the first apostles, to be on fire with spreading the Good New of Jesus; the news that God loved us so much he gave us everything. The very Son of God went to the Cross for you and me to take away our sins and give us life.

Then He came in.   He didn’t stand out of the crowd by his appearance; but there was something about him.   She was just about to get the towel and the basin to wash their feet.    The Rabbi smiled at her and took the towel, water and basin and he did her work.   Then, he shocked her.   He gestured for her to sit down, he smiled, and then washed her feet, too.

In this Upper Room, the fundamental job description of a Christian:  to wash the feet of the entire world as Jesus did, no matter who it is.   In the Upper Room of Jerusalem, Jesus gave the gift of the ordained priesthood.   He entrusted the Apostles the role to continue to offer the Mysteries that began that night.   But, notice:  the ordained priesthood is born in the washing of the feet.   My brothers and I... --- ### Walking Holy Week - Published: 2019-04-16 - Modified: 2019-04-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/walking-holy-week/ - Categories: Fr.

Is it Mary of Magdala who wept for her friend? Is it Peter the denier or Judas the betrayer? Are you one of the crowd who yelled “hosanna”; are you also the same person who yelled “crucify him” on Good Friday? Could it be a person in the crowd who just stood in the crowd and didn’t get involved? Could it be the soldier or Pilate or a member of the Sanhedrin?     Who is it?   What I am encouraging you each to do is to take your person and let him or her walk this Holy Week with you. Let that person teach you something about Jesus and maybe yourself.   Enter into the mystery of the most profound moments of our faith.   This week is not walked alone; but in the community of the faithful.   This week is not about a cerebral exercise.    This week is a week of the heart.   The sacred rites of this week are the rites of the heart.   Who is not moved by the profound act of the washing of the feet?

Tom's Blog A few years ago I was on retreat and the retreat director gave me this story of Zacchaeus for prayer.   There was one thing that struck me and continue to be a source of prayer:  what was His real reason for climbing the tree?   Yes, he was short and there was a crowd, but he could have just stood in the front.   My thought is he climbed the tree to see Jesus, but also to not get involved or worse yet, have to really talk with Jesus.   By staying above the fray, Zacchaeus was able to not get involved. We can all be like Zacchaeus at times.   I want to see Jesus; I want to know Jesus, but I don’t want to have to jump into the fray and the messiness of the Christian Live.   To be a Christian is to be in the midst of the crowd of humanity; smelly, getting our hands dirty, putting sweat equity into changing this world and letting God use us, by the power of grace, to build the Kingdom. Authentic discipleship, no matter our tradition, means jumping together into the fray and committing ourselves to the common goal of the work of the Kingdom.   We cannot truly follow Jesus if we hang out in a tree and remain spectators.   Pope Francis has told us: But more than that, we should not wait for people to come to us where we are, but like the shepherd who goes out to find the lost sheep,... --- ### Bulletin April 7, 2019 - Published: 2019-04-07 - Modified: 2019-04-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-april-7-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Bulletin-April-7-2019. pdf --- ### The Man Born Blind - Published: 2019-04-03 - Modified: 2019-04-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/the-man-born-blind/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog I have been using the Dynamic Catholic daily podcasts for my own Lenten reflections this year.   These reflections are the answer when I asked Jesus want he wanted me to do this Lent.   In the one on Thursday, he talked about a 100% commitment to Jesus and His way.   What a wake up call for me... ... am I 100% committed to the way of Jesus? The man born blind is a symbol of our spiritual blindness.   We may all have an innate fear of the dark but sometimes the dark can be a comfortable place to hide.   If we hide in the dark, allow ourselves to remain blind, then there is no need for a 100% commitment to Jesus.  After all, how can I build the Kingdom if I don’t see it?   Not seeing the opportunities that God places before us, in our minds, absolves us from responsibilities.     How can I find Jesus if I stay in the darkness of my sin and fear?   Sometimes I really don’t want to be found, to be honest.   It is just easier to be concerned about me; sometimes it is just easier to stay exactly where I am because if I let Jesus heal my pain and my wounds and my sins... . . I don’t have to change.   My darkness is more comfortable even though I might hate it. Notice how Jesus gave the man sight.   He spat on the ground and make a mud paste and anointed his eyes.   In this sacramental encounter, the man... --- ### Bulletin March 31, 2019 - Published: 2019-03-31 - Modified: 2019-03-27 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-31-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Bulletin-March-31-2019. pdf --- ### 2019 Holy Week Mass Schedule - Published: 2019-03-25 - Modified: 2019-03-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/2019-holy-week-mass-schedule/ - Categories: Parish Content This year, the Church of St. Mary (location noted as "CSM") will again share the Sacred Triduum of Holy Week with St. John the Evangelist & St. Joseph (location noted as "SJESJ") with the following schedule: Palm Sunday April 14 Regular Sunday Schedule Holy Monday April 15 6:00pm Individual Reconciliation (CSM) 7:00pm Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament (CSM) Holy Tuesday April 16 12:10pm Mass (SJESJ) Holy Wednesday April 17 7:00am Mass (CSM) 6:30pm Lenten Mass  (CSM) Holy Thursday April 18 9:00am Morning Prayer (CSM) 7:00pm Mass of the Lord's Supper followed by Adoration (SJE/SJ) 9:45pm Night Prayer (SJE/SJ) Good Friday April 19 9:00am Morning Prayer (SJE/SJ) 12:05pm Living Stations (CSM) 3:00pm Reconciliation (CSM) 7:00pm Liturgy of the Lord's Passion and Death (SJE/SJ) Holy Saturday April 20 9:00am Morning Prayer (CSM) 3:00pm Blessing of Easter Food (CSM) 8:00pm Easter Vigil (CSM) Easter Sunday April 21 Regular Sunday Mass Schedule, no LCC Mass that evening --- ### Bulletin March 24, 2019 - Published: 2019-03-24 - Modified: 2019-03-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-24-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Bulletin-March-24-2019. pdf --- ### Bulletin March 17, 2019 - Published: 2019-03-17 - Modified: 2019-03-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-17-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Bulletin-March-17-2019. pdf --- ### We'll just say that we've been to the mountain - Published: 2019-03-16 - Modified: 2019-03-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/well-just-say-that-weve-been-to-the-mountain/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog When I was in college, we used to sing a song at Mass that I have never been able to find since.   One line from this song was:  we’ll just say that we’ve been to the mo untain to catch a glimpse of all that we can be”.    In both the first reading and the gospel, Abram and the disciples catch a glimpse of all that they could be... . . and so do we. Today’s first reading is a strange one.   In the midst of strange symbols for the 21st century, God makes a covenant with Abram.    “It was on that occasion that the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the Great River, the Euphrates. ”.   In the midst of this experience,  “a trance fell upon Abram, and a deep, terrifying darkness enveloped him. ”  In the depth of that darkness, God showed Abram who he was:  the father of the nation.   From Abram, would rise the people of Israel and God would make an unbreakable covenant with them... at least, from God’s perspective. The story of the Transfiguration reveals Jesus in the fullness of His Divine Nature. He is the fulfillment of the promise made to Abram and the promise of all the prophets.   In Jesus, God renews the covenant with humanity, with each of us, but not with the blood of animals, but with His own blood to be shed on the Cross.   This covenant sealed on the Cross... --- ### Rising from the Ashes - Published: 2019-03-16 - Modified: 2019-03-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/rising-from-the-ashes/ - Categories: Fr.

The neat thing is that we can develop the practice of having these all through out the day.   Notice I said the word: practice.   St Clare of Assisi told her sisters to do this mediation for the first five minutes of every day and reflect on Christ’s total poverty on the Cross. This is what Jesus is talking about in Luke’s version of the Beatitudes.   When we are see our poverty thought out the day, that is a holy moment.      Poverty is more than a lack of money.   It could be the realization that we won’t get a promotion, or we failed a test, get a cold, or cannot afford something.   The holy moment of our hunger is when we know we need God.   He is the only one who will fill the void in our lives.   Weeping holy moments are when we need to grief the losses... --- ### Bulletin February 17, 2019 - Published: 2019-02-17 - Modified: 2019-02-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-17-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Bulletin-February-17-2019. pdf --- ### Bulletin February 10, 2019 - Published: 2019-02-10 - Modified: 2019-02-06 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-10-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Bulletin-February-10-2019. pdf --- ### We need some prophets.....are you ready? - Published: 2019-02-05 - Modified: 2019-02-05 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/we-need-some-prophets-are-you-ready/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog We live in a time in need of prophets.   A prophet is not someone who foretells the future.   A prophet calls the world back to the covenant  God made with humanity.   For the people of Israel, it was to the covenant made on Mt Sinai; for you and me, it was the covenant made on Calvary by the sacrifice of the Cross.   A prophet calls the world back to the Love that freely offered himself on the Cross.   If you want to know what that Love looks like: re read Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, today’s second reading. This is the prophetic love of Christ. The person called to be a prophet is not someone from the desert like John the Baptist or someone who lives on a mountaintop somewhere.   The prophets of today as a close as looking in the mirror.   How often have you heard the words of the anointing with Sacred Chrism at a Baptism... . ”you share now in the ministry of Christ who is Priest, Prophet and King. ”  The you that is referred to is the baby or child... . . but it is also you and me.   We are all prophets.   We are all called to refashion the world.   Jesus died so that we could be free to rebuild the world by His grace.

Tom's Blog God can transform anything in our lives into grace. It would have been a great embarrassment to the wedding couple and their families if they had run out of wine.   They would have been dishonored.   On the surface, it looked like an insurmountable problem.   To God, hardly.   Through the intersession of the Mother of God, Jesus transformed a problem into a sign of the abundant grace the flows out into the world from His divine heart. Jesus can do the same thing for each of us.   We all have things we deal with on a daily basis that can seem overwhelming and unsolvable.   Do we ask God to give us the grace to deal with whatever it is?   I am convinced that God doesn’t solve the problem but gives us the knowledge and grace to do it.   Everyday we encounter small changes that we think we must solve alone.   We don’t.   We have the intercession of the saints and God’s grace to depend on.   It could be that the Holy Moment we want to work on this week would be to ask God to help us solve on problem that comes up every day. The problem doesn’t need to be as big as a wedding running out of wine, but something we are struggling with. The wedding feast of Cana is the manifestation of the power of God that is active and alive in the world.   Like Jesus was the sign of the Father in his time; we now are... --- ### Bulletin January 13, 2019 - Published: 2019-01-13 - Modified: 2019-01-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-13-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Bulletin-January-13-2019. pdf --- ### The gifts of the Epiphany - Published: 2019-01-09 - Modified: 2019-01-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/the-gifts-of-the-epiphany/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog We are all familiar with the three gifts of the Magi: gold, frankincense and myrrh.   Some say that they are symbols of who Jesus is:  the gold acknowledges his royal dignity as the King of the Universe, frankincense proclaims his divinity and myrrh is the foretaste of His redeeming death and burial.   But, what do the gifts mean for us today? St Gregory the Great was Pope in the late 500’s and early 600’s and offers us another way to view the gifts.   Gregory challenges us to see that these are the gifts expect from us everyday of our life’s “Jesus wants us to give him “gold” by “shining in his sight with the light of wisdom”.       This gift of the Holy Spirit is the gift to understand life and creation as God does.   When we strive to see the world as God does, we are able to make decisions based on the values of the Gospel.    We offer God the gold of our lives by serving him with every moment of our lives.   All our actions, all our decisions, our views, everything is for the honor and glory of God. Gregory tells us the “frankincense, the incense used at Mass, symbolizes prayer”.   The incense we use here at Mass is a sign of our prayer rising before the Lord.   We burn it to honor the sacred among us.   Notice what is incensed: the altar: the image of Christ among us the Gospels: The Word of God among us you:... --- ### Bulletin January 6, 2019 - Published: 2019-01-06 - Modified: 2019-01-02 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-6-2019/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Bulletin-January-6-2019. pdf --- ### Feast of the Holy Family - Published: 2018-12-30 - Modified: 2018-12-30 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/feast-of-the-holy-family/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Over the last few days, most of us have been around our families.   There have been laughs, tears, arguments, disagreements, some of the normal drama has arisen to the surface; but, no matter what, whether we like them or not, they are our families. The Christmas season reminds us that Jesus was born into the messiness of time and life.   He was born into a human family of a mother and father, aunts and uncles, grandparents and cousins, and family friends.   They had the same laughs we had over the last few weeks and the same arguments; they shed the same tears and laughed as we did.    Like them, the holiness of our families is found in the reality that Jesus is in the middle of it all even when he is not acknowledged. The family of the church is no different than our families and the family of Jesus.   What makes the Church a Holy Family is the reality that Jesus is the foundation of the family of the Church. It is from our families we learn how to pray and know Jesus; it is here in the family of faith we learn to pray and to know Jesus. At our dinner tables at home we share a meal; here we share the banquet of life. It is in our homes we learn to say:  I forgive you, I love you; here God says that to each of us in the life of the sacraments.

Tom's Blog We all probably think God doesn’t need anything.   He probably doesn’t need new socks and underwear; probably God doesn’t want a new 4K flat screen, I would imagine that he doesn’t want a new cell phone.   God is probably the hardest person we must buy for, if we even think of Him in our planning. Do you think anyone ever asks God What He wants for Christmas? Here is how Darius Rucker -- country singer, R and B musician and ex member of Hootie and the Blowfish -- answers the question in his song, “What does God want for Christmas”; “I wonder what God wants for Christmas             Something you can’t find in a store             Maybe peace on earth, no more empty seats in church” I think is a good start for God’s Christmas list.   God, in the reading from Isaiah, promises us a world with no war and violence, but we need to change ourselves and our world, so it can happen.   To be peacemakers means we learn to disagree with respects, to not return violence with violence, verbal or physical, to actively commit ourselves to work for harmony and the common good.   What a great gift to give to God if we would commit ourselves in the coming year to be people of peace. The most precious gift we can give God is the gift of ourselves.   Darius sings “no more empty seats in Church”.   Our worship here is to give God the glory and praise he... --- ### Bulletin December 23, 2018 - Published: 2018-12-23 - Modified: 2018-12-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-december-23-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Bulletin-December-23-2018. pdf --- ### The Yes to God - Published: 2018-12-22 - Modified: 2018-12-22 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/the-yes-to-god/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog In this Sunday's Gospel, Mary goes to see Elizabeth. It could be that she wanted to be with her relative and help her because of her pregnancy. It is also possible that she left home for a little while to make sense of what was happening. Like Elizabeth, Mary's life had dramatically changed. Her "yes" to the angel was a "yes" to a new life. I suppose Mary wanted the simple, "normal", life. Her "yes" to the Lord opened up a path that she couldn't have even imagined. Some people may wonder where Joseph was. After all, how could he let his betrothed travel a long distance alone. Some artists will depict the Visitation with Mary greeting Elizabeth and Joseph greeting Zechariah. I think is the most realistic way to reflect on this scene. All four of them were called to say "yes" to God with a "yes" that would mean walking down paths that they could never imagine. y s we begin to celebrate the mystery of Christ's birth, let us make a commitment to be like these two holy couples and take the risk to say "yes" to God and walk whatever path he lead us down. --- ### Happy vs Joy - Published: 2018-12-16 - Modified: 2018-12-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/happy-vs-joy/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog There is a big difference between happiness and joy.   Many people think that what they want is happiness and spend a lot of time trying to find it.   However, happiness is a matter of a neurochemical process in the brain.   Maybe this will help to understand this.    I love chocolate chip cookies... . In fact, I can eat a whole box of Freihofer’s chocolate chip cookies in one setting.    Don’t ask me why; they just taste good.   However, the happy feeling doesn’t last long.   Once the sugar rush is over; the happy high is over and I want more.   Happiness is not a permanent thing; it ebbs and flows depending on a lot of things. Joy, on the other hand, is something deeper and permanent.   Joy results from a deepening and living relationship with Jesus.   Many this example will help.   Just over three years ago, my Mom died at 93 years.   Even though she lived a good live and we were able to keep her home, it was one of the hardest things I have gone through.   On the day of her funeral and everything was over, I went back to my brother’s house, got changed and went out for a bike ride.   I had decided that at the end of the ride I would stop back at the cemetery.   As I rode in the cemetery, got off my bike and walked to her grave, despite how sad I felt, I felt the most overwhelming sense of peace and joy.   My... --- ### Bulletin December 16, 2018 - Published: 2018-12-16 - Modified: 2018-12-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-december-16-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Bulletin-December-16-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin December 9, 2018 - Published: 2018-12-09 - Modified: 2018-12-05 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-december-9-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Bulletin-December-9-2018. pdf --- ### First Sunday of Advent Are you ready to do some reconstruction? - Published: 2018-12-07 - Modified: 2018-12-07 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/first-sunday-of-advent-are-you-ready-to-do-some-reconstruction/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog On channel 41, there is a great show called Property Brothers.   They are 2 twin brothers from Canada.   One sells real estate; the other is a contractor.   They work with people who want to have a new house, but often can’t afford what they want.   They end up buying an older house and the contractor brother rehabs it into something that the buyer often cannot imagine.   God is both of these brothers.   When God created the heavens and the earth, he entrusted humanity with its care.   Unfortunately, throughout history we have forgotten we are stewards and not owners.    Through out history, what God intended for the humanity as been ignored and abused because we create walls of power, shaky foundations on selfishness and pride, or a roof of greed and envy.   However, the promise God has given through out the course of time is that He will remake the heavens and the earth into what he intended and something even better.   This is the exact reason Jesus came among us.   He is the incarnate sign of the Promise.   He came to show us exactly how we are to be the People of God.   Jesus built us into living stones of the new Temple.   However, for this to be accomplished, old walls and realities need to be destroyed and demolished so that something new can be built.   The Scriptures use the metaphors and images we heard in the Gospel.   Jesus called this rebuilt world, “The Kingdom of God”.   The Kingdom we pray for... --- ### Bulletin December 2, 2018 - Published: 2018-12-02 - Modified: 2018-11-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-december-2-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Bulletin-December-2-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin November 25, 2018 - Published: 2018-11-25 - Modified: 2018-11-21 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-november-25-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Bulletin-November-25-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin November 18, 2018 - Published: 2018-11-18 - Modified: 2018-11-14 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-november-18-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Bulletin-November-18-2018. pdf --- ### Saintly Service 2018 - Published: 2018-11-12 - Modified: 2018-11-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/saintly-service-2018/ - Categories: Photo Gallery The kids in grades K through 5 all participated in service-minded projects, and had a blast doing it! --- ### The Widow's Mite - Published: 2018-11-11 - Modified: 2018-11-11 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/the-widows-mite/ - Categories: Fr.

Tom's Blog The two coins of today's Gospel were equal to a social security check today.   The widow gave everything she had for God and didn't look back.   She is a wonderful example for us.   Our normal tendency is to give our extra; not from what we need.   It is easy to fall into the habit of giving only the spare change out of our pockets.   The spare change can be our time and talent as well as our money.   I am a firm believer that God gives each parish community all it needs to do ministry and be active disciples.   The widow reminds us that there is no gift or talent that is too small.   Each person in the parish has something to offer for the good of the community.   We are all vitally needed to spread the message of Jesus and to be His Body in the world.   May we follow the example of the widow and give all we have to God and for His people --- ### Bulletin November 11, 2018 - Published: 2018-11-11 - Modified: 2018-11-07 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-november-11-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Bulletin-November-11-2018. pdf --- ### Trustee Message Dave and Lora - Published: 2018-11-09 - Modified: 2018-11-11 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/trustee-message-dave-and-lora/ - Categories: Parish Content From Dave Hans Good Morning Thank you for allowing Lora and me to talk to you for a few minutes this morning.  As we have in the past, I want to share some of my views on the treasure aspect of our stewardship. You will see in this weekend’s bulletin, a Parish “health check”.  Sharing this summary along with today’s trustee message will help you better understand our current environment.  We welcome your comments, questions and input on any of these messages. So, let’s get right to it.  For the fiscal year that ended on June 30th, our regular weekly offertory collection was down almost 4% from the previous year.  This is, unfortunately, on top of the 2016/17 decrease of just under 3% from a high point of $385K in collections during the 2015/16 fiscal year. During this same time, we have done a good job of maintaining our base day to day operating expenses.   With that said, in the bulletin summary you will see our expenses during the past fiscal year increased significantly due to the unexpected cost of our roof repairs. Some of this expense was offset slightly by eliminating operating expenses associated with our annual Auction and Gala.  However, we now also lose the Gala income, which over the past six years continued to grow and add to our yearly income stream. What does this mean?  We need to focus on the offertory collection, which makes up more than 80% of our Parish Revenue. Year to... --- ### Trustee Message 11-4-18 Part one Fr Tom - Published: 2018-11-06 - Modified: 2018-11-06 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/trustee-message-11-4-18-part-one-fr-tom/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog From Father Tom Over the years, probably because of my degree in social work, I tend to take a more global or wider view of things.   I am always fascinated about how interconnected all things are.   One of my favorite images of organizations and the world is a giant spider web.   What I do affects you; what you do affects me. This is the core of the great commandment.   Jesus tells us to love God, to love others and to love self.   We are not isolated beings. Our love of God needs to be foundational.   It is not a one-way street.   God doesn’t passively sit there absorbing all our love.   In fact, we don’t even initiate it.   God does.   God created us out of love.  Our love for God is a response to what we have first received. If we can accept this, then we need to turn to the reality that we must love ourselves.   How can we hate or not like what God created and God loves?     God never stops loving us, even when we try to stop him.   Being created in the image of Love, we need to see that Love in the mirror every morning. Once we get to this point, then love of neighbor becomes easier. Charity cannot be limited to cleaning out our closets and giving our second-hand stuff away. To truly live the Great Commandment demands that we walk out of these four walls and get our hands dirty, together, as Christ’s Body.  ... --- ### Give it all up for the Lord Homily 10-14-18 - Published: 2018-11-06 - Modified: 2018-11-06 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/give-it-all-up-for-the-lord-homily-10-14-18/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog I was watching a movie this past week about the life of St Francis of Assisi.   He was just like the young man of today’s gospel.   Francis had everything.   Good family, money, nice clothes, promising future.   But, as he portrayed in the movie, Francis seems empty; searching for something.   Thinking he would find it in the fame of being a knight, he goes to war.    He gets hurt; in his recovery, his powerlessness, his weakness, he finds Jesus.   Jesus says to the Francis what he said to the rich young man, give it all away and come follow me.   Francis literally find that.   He walked away from all the stuff and found a joy we all envy.   We too can have it it; if we give it all away, become unattached to what we have, don’t worry about tomorrow and put Jesus first, then we can find what Francis found. In Rome, tomorrow, the Holy Father will canonize Archbishop Oscar Romero.   Oscar was the a bishop in El Salvador in the 1970’s.   Oscar, like the young man and Francis, had it all going for him.   He was a career churchman.   He obeyed all the rules, didn’t create any waves, was low key which is why he was made the Archbishop of El Salvador.   The thought was he wouldn’t cause any problems with the government who was oppressing the poor and those who wanted El Salvador to be a free place not controlled by the very rich who oppressed the poor.  ... --- ### Marriage Homily 10- 4 - 18 - Published: 2018-11-06 - Modified: 2018-11-06 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/marriage-homily-10-4-18/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog To get to the heart of today’s gospel, we must go back to the first century church of Mark.   Marriage was not about two people in love, romance , the wedding day, or even about the couple.   A marriage was arraigned by the parents as a way to unite two families.   One commentator put it this way:  no one chooses their parents but God, God chooses the spouse through the parents. The union of the families was for a variety of reasons, never love.   A divorce was seen as shame to both families, in particular, the bride’s family.   For her to be rejected by her husband was an affront to her father, brothers, etc.   In a society that often devalued a woman, we see one way in which she was honored.   To be rejected by her husband, her family would avenge the shame, often though blood feuds. So how does this apply to our lives today?   The answer is found in Genesis in the creation of man and woman.   God created woman from the side of man... . as his equal.   In the nuptial blessing of the wedding Mass, this is part of the prayer we could miss... ”May her husband entrust his heart to her, so that acknowledging her as his equal and joint heir to the life of grace”.   The relationship of two people living in marriage is not about one having more power; the type of power that abuses... emotionally, physically, psychologically, in fact, this is so against what marriage is... --- ### Bulletin November 4, 2018 - Published: 2018-11-04 - Modified: 2018-10-31 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-november-4-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Bulletin-November-4-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin October 28, 2018 - Published: 2018-10-28 - Modified: 2018-10-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-28-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Bulletin-October-28-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin October 21, 2018 - Published: 2018-10-21 - Modified: 2018-10-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-21-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Bulletin-October-21-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin October 14, 2018 - Published: 2018-10-14 - Modified: 2018-10-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-14-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Bulletin-October-14-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin - October 7, 2018 - Published: 2018-10-09 - Modified: 2018-10-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/bulletin-october-7-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin, Parish Content To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Bulletin-October-7-2018. pdf --- ### What does it mean to be a Christian?

Tom's Blog What does it mean to be a Christian?    For us Catholics, it is very foreign question but one that I think the times are demanding we look at.   What does it mean to follow Jesus?   The Gospel today gives us a hint.   It is not about being powerful or being served.   As we are witnessing, this will only lead to trouble and corruption.   Authentic Christianity is about serving one another in the name of the Lord Jesus.   It means that we align ourselves with the vulnerable of the world.   Jesus gathering that child to himself for me is a sign that His Body exists, we exist, to serve the poor and vulnerable, no matter who they are, what they look or where they are.  The cornerstone of any Christian community must be Christ.   He is the source of the Church, the center of every parish, the inspiration of all we do , and the supreme model of service.   As we look at the future, He must be the center of this community.   Jesus must be the pastor. Jesus’s Word must be that which guides us.   From this flows everything we are.   Our worship will be focused on the glory of God and our thanksgiving to God for we have and have been given, most importantly, our salvation in Christ.   The Sacraments will not be rituals we go through; they will be encounters with the saving mystery of God.     Our gatherings for community and support will be build a community that... --- ### Lent in the Fall Homily 9/30/18 - Published: 2018-10-04 - Modified: 2018-10-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/lent-in-the-fall-homily-9-23-18/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog During Lent, we always talk about giving something up. My question today is why do we just need to wait until Lent. Many people are already doing it. Giving up foods with a lot of salt or cholesterol, stopping smoking, giving up watching too much TV and exercising, and the list continues. One way to interpret today’s gospel is to ask what must I do away with, cut away, so that I could be a better follower of Jesus. One place to start is to take an inventory of our day; perhaps, meditate on your calendar. Is there time for prayer? How time is spent as a family? How much time am I not using my cellphone, iPad, etc and having a conversation with someone? If there is a spot for exercise, is there also a spot to read the Scriptures? Another place to look is in our hearts. This maybe the harder to place because it means we have to confront parts of our selves that we would rather not look at. Looking into our hearts means we confront our sins and all those parts of ourselves that are still in need of redemption and change. In reality,it is here where we “cut” out parts of ourselves... . angers we have never dealt with, our envy, our selfishness, the me first attitude, our laziness, our apathy, and whatever else we meet Finally, St James offers us another to examine. Our concern, solidarity with the poor and our acts of charity.

Tom's Blog Take a step back in time with me.   First century, Judea.   Jesus tells his disciples to take up the cross and follow him.   This was hardly a comfortable or even acceptable thought.   The reality of the Cross was that it was used to make a statement to the people.   Rebel against Rome or doing something criminal and this too can be your fate.   No one wanted to end up on the Cross, let alone pick it up. Granted Jesus is talking metaphorically for his disciples, but, he knew that this would be his fate because of the radical nature of his message.   He was proclaiming a Kingdom that would replace Rome and would be eternal, not like the temporary nature of manmade structures, whether civil or religious.   The commitment to follow him included the Cross and it would be the deciding point for many. This is the deciding point for us, too.   Can we pick up the Cross and follow Jesus?   Ronald Rolheiser, an Oblate Father, in an article about today’s readings, quotes James Martin’s book: Jesus, a pilgrimage to describe what it means to take up our Cross: The need for us to accept suffering in our lives. No one want to suffer, but it happens. People are not perfect, our bodies are not perfect, nothing is perfect and because of that we feel pain and we struggle.   Buddhism tells is when we accept sufferings it will not control us.   Accepting it, frees us To not allow bitterness to... --- ### Opening Up Our Ears Homily 9-9-18 - Published: 2018-09-13 - Modified: 2018-09-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/opening-up-our-ears-homily-9-9-18/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Have you ever been with someone and the moment you start taking about something uncomfortable or something that someone doesn’t want to hear, they stick their fingers in their ears and usually start singing something, so they don’t hear?   God’s voice can make us uncomfortable sometimes, too.   We hear the Scriptures and, like today’s second reading from James, I would not rather hear it because it is uncomfortable to hear.    Listen to it again:  My brothers and sisters, show no partiality as you adhere to the faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ. For if a man with gold rings and fine clothes comes into your assembly, and a poor person in shabby clothes also comes in, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say, “Sit here, please, ” while you say to the poor one, “Stand there, ” or “Sit at my feet, ” have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil designs?   As a parish community, we need to be ready to not only give to Concerns U or Circles of Mercy or Unity House or wherever, we also need to be ready to have someone from any of those places sitting next to us and welcome them as Jesus did.   This is the core of discipleship: to be like Jesus and to bring the Good News to the poor and the forgotten of society.    Everything Isaiah described in the first reading are the signs that the Messiah is among us.    It is up to us, you and... --- ### Bulletin September 9, 2018 - Published: 2018-09-09 - Modified: 2018-09-05 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-september-9-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Bulletin-September-9-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin September 2, 2018 - Published: 2018-09-02 - Modified: 2018-08-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-september-2-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bulletin-September-2-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin August 26, 2018 - Published: 2018-08-26 - Modified: 2018-08-22 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-august-26-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bulletin-August-26-2018. pdf --- ### To pray to just talk to God.............8/26/18 - Published: 2018-08-25 - Modified: 2018-08-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/5941/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog The character Tevye from Fiddler of the Roof is a great example of Peter’s response to Jesus:  Lord, to who else shall we go?   Through out the entire play, Tevye has an ongoing conversation with God, even to the point of questioning why God is doing some of things that are happening in life.   He asks honest questions yet choose to remain faithful to God.   Peter is really saying the same thing.   There is no other person but Jesus who will constantly be there; even in the darkest of moments.   We need to ask our self’s:  Why?   Why continue to believe even when it is tough?   Why stay faithful when it seems God is silent?   Why pray when our prayer is not answered the way we want?   Peter and Tevye show us the how to pray like this.   We must have a living relationship with God.  Both teach us that key component is prayer; but, not just reciting the prayers someone else wrote.   The most authentic prayer is the ongoing conversation with God that includes everything we are going through out the day.   Our cars can become a chapel; our desks at school or at work can become Mountain of transfiguration when our prayer leads to insight,             standing next to someone who is serious ill or struggling with an addiction or having a tough time can become Calvary and every joy and good thing becomes an experience of Easter morning.   To choose to follow God, to realize that as... --- ### Bulletin August 19, 2018 - Published: 2018-08-19 - Modified: 2018-08-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-august-19-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bulletin-August-19-2018. pdf --- ### O God, our only refuge Homily 8-19-18 - Published: 2018-08-18 - Modified: 2018-08-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/o-god-our-only-refuge-homily-8-19-18/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Where do we go in times of struggle, anger and disappointment? Everyoneresponds differently. Some of our coping is healthy; others destructive. As Catholic Christians, the banquet that God provides is the place to go. Here, we are welcomed. Here, we can raise our voices in songs of praise, cries of lamentation, desperate cries for help. Here, we let each other know we are here for each other. Here the food and drink is the Body and Blood of the Lord... which is all we need. it is at this Sacred Meal we find peace in our struggles, hope in times of despair, solace in times of pain, forgiveness in times of sin and God when He seems far away. With everything that has happened this week in our Church, the only place we can go is to the Lord.   Right now, he alone is where our trust is.   He alone can heal the wounds that are open in the Body of Christ.   He alone can refashion his Church. Christ alone will show us the way to finally move beyond this pain. There are no easy answers or solutions.   We need to begin by being honest with what we are feeling.   You and I need to dialogue about how this is affecting us personally.   Then, and only then, can we begin to solve this.   Do not think you are powerless in the face of the hierarchy.   You are God’s people; you are the Church; and you have the right to call our... --- ### Why are we here?

Tom's Blog At the Mass I went to last Sunday, the homilist said something that I cannot stop thinking about. I heard him say that we need to remember who the focus of our worship is.   We talk a lot about the community that gathers at the Lord’s table and how we live out the message, we focus on us.   What we forget is that Jesus is the reason we gather. It is Jesus who is the true Bread come down from heaven.   The priest was clear that we need to be careful when we gather for the Eucharist that we worship God and not ourselves and what we do. This really challenged me.   I am a firm believer that we need to work on being a community who are active and living disciples.   What I forget is the one who makes us a community is the one who fed the masses, the one who went to Calvary and the one who rose again.   It could be human nature to see ourselves as the center of the universe and see ourselves as the cause of our success.   This is the reason we begin our worship and remember who we are ... ... “Mindful of our sinfulness, we prepare ourselves for the sacred mysteries”.   What we do here is for the honor and glory of God.

Tom's Blog The 23rd Psalm is one of the most familiar and well-loved psalms of all 150 psalms.   It is often prayed at funerals and in times of trouble.    In today's liturgy, it serves as a connection between Jeremiah's challenge to the leaders of his day and Jesus who is the Good Shepherd filled with pity for the sheep. In Biblical times, shepherds were not the most respected members of society.   Often, because they were out in the fields with the flocks, they were not as observant of the Sabbath laws.   It was hard work with little pay, they were working with animals that were not the smartest knives in the drawer.   The sheep needed the shepherd to keep them out of trouble and wandering away.   He made sure the sheep had a good place to graze and water to drink Yet, it is this image that is used to describe the King of Israel. Jesus uses to describe himself.   Our Shepherd doesn't worry about public opinion about who is worth being saved.   Our Shepherd is willing to work hard for us because he loves us…. he doesn't count the cost.   Just look at the Cross.   Our Shepherd comes looking for us when we stray or get lost.   He provides for all our needs, even when we don't know what we need. God even forces us to rest:  Keep holy the Sabbath.   We need to remember this today.

Tom's Blog We celebrate this weekend the feast of St Kateri Tekawitha; the lily of the Mohawks. How well her story captures the spirit of this weekend's readings. God touched Kateri's life at an early age in spite of the ridicule she received. God chose her not because she was powerful; Amos was only a tree surgeon. God choose her in her poverty, her blindness, her disfigurement from small pox to be the radiant and beautiful light of His presence. God chooses you and me the same way. We are called to be his disciples in our fear and powerlessness, in our poverty and weakness to bear the light of the peace and justice of the Kingdom, today The Apostles were sent out by Jesus with nothing but a message and faith in him. The reality of this is that when God calls us to do something in His name, all we need is Him…. . and we never walk alone because of Him and the community of faith. We cannot live Christianity alone. Yet many say, they can pray at home on a Sunday morning. Jesus shows us in today's Gospel: without a community around us, we will not be able to do the work of the Kingdom. We see this is Kateri's life too. Even though she lived with her tribe and family, she was ridiculed for her faith. It was the faith of the other Christians that sustained her. She did not go alone to Canada when her uncle insisted she... --- ### Bulletin July 15, 2018 - Published: 2018-07-15 - Modified: 2018-07-11 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-july-15-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Bulletin-July-15-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin July 8, 2018 - Published: 2018-07-08 - Modified: 2018-07-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-july-8-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Bulletin-July-8-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin July 1, 2018 - Published: 2018-07-01 - Modified: 2018-06-27 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-july-1-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Bulletin-July-1-2018. pdf --- ### June 3 2018 Spring Trustee Message - Published: 2018-06-24 - Modified: 2018-06-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/june-3-2018-spring-trustee-message/ - Categories: Parish Content From Dave Hans Lora and I want to spend a few minutes talking to you about the role we all play as contributors to our parish through our stewardship of time, talent and treasure. Over the past few weeks, we have received requests to support this year's Bishop's Appeal as well as a letter from Father Tom about the upcoming Reigniting Discipleship initiative. I will briefly address both activities, but let me start with an overview of our current fiscal outlook. About six weeks ago, the Finance Committee met to review the 2017-18 fiscal year and agree to a budget for the upcoming year. Thanks, in great part to your support, we are tracking closely, although slightly below our targeted income from offertory collections. We had a few weekend winter storms this year, so we hope this is a factor in the slight decline. As you read a few weeks ago in the bulletin, Lora and I met with Father Tom and suggested we suspend this year's Gala and Auction. While the Gala has become first, an enjoyable evening for many, and second, a key component of our income stream, it is a major impact on those who spend months planning for the event. In addition, this year's Gala conflicts with our focus on the Re-Igniting Discipleship initiative. As Father stated in his bulletin message, your contribution of time, talent and treasure is vital to our community. We want to be cognizant of the sacrifices we ask you to make... --- ### Whatsoever you do to the least of my people 6 17 18 - Published: 2018-06-24 - Modified: 2018-06-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/whatsoever-you-do-to-the-least-of-my-people-6-17-18/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Small actions have great impacts.   In today's gospel, Jesus uses the parable of the mustard seed to describe the kingdom of God.   A mustard seed is so small that it is hard to believe anything will grow from it.   One small act of kindness can change the entire world and vice versa. One negative act can also alter the world too, but not in a positive way.   We are challenged to practice small acts of kindness to live out our discipleship.   To smile at someone, say hello, let someone in in traffic, hold open a door, offer to help someone struggling with a bag at the grocery store…all these small acts change the world and the Kingdom of God shines forth a little more.   Every negative act will create a world that is drifts away from the Kingdom.   Our angry words, name calling, the attitudes we may have toward others grows a world that reflects less and less the Kingdom of God. We, as a Church, are called to do small courageous acts to build the Kingdom.   Our call as disciples of Jesus is to plant the seeds of love, justice and peace as St Paul describes the Kingdom of God.   We are to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.   In the Hebrew Scripture, the nation had forgotten the mandates of the covenant and the prophet uses the imagery of God chopping off a part of the tree  and replanting so that it reflects the covenant.   One of... --- ### Bulletin June 24, 2018 - Published: 2018-06-24 - Modified: 2018-06-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-june-24-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Bulletin-June-24-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin June 17, 2018 - Published: 2018-06-17 - Modified: 2018-06-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-june-17-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Bulletin-June-17-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin June 10, 2018 - Published: 2018-06-10 - Modified: 2018-06-06 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-june-10-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Bulletin-June-10-2018. pdf --- ### Feast of the Body and Blood of the Lord.

Tom's Blog I would like you to take a few seconds and look at your hands…. . what do you see?   Do any of you see the hands of Christ?   St Theresa of Avila wrote:   "Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes with which Christ looks out his compassion to the world. Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good. Yours are the hands with which he is to bless us now. " - Teresa of Avila   As we celebrate the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of the Lord, we also are reflecting on who we are as a parish community with our annual trustee report.     When I first came here last August, I was wondering what I would do here…. . this parish has so much going for it and works very well…. in February when I went on retreat, God showed me what my work with you would be……. to further the mission of the Church……to be a disciple with you, to help you be better disciples and then to go and make disciples.   This is the mission entrusted to us by Jesus and the reason the parish exists.   As I read the surveys, many of you said that we need to get more people involved and to reach the younger members of the community.   To do that is to call them to discipleship; but, we need to be that ourselves.   Being a disciple is... --- ### Pentecost...a little late! - Published: 2018-06-06 - Modified: 2018-06-06 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/pentecost-a-little-late/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog I have been following the news on the eruption of the volcano in Hawaii.   Too me, the power that is evident is tremendous.    The pressure that builds is some of the lava tubes miles away from the volcano can throw rock the size of refrigerators into the air.   This molten rock from the very core of the earth is always there and when it erupts to the surface, the earth itself is recreated.   Yes, there is destruction, but at the same time creation.   In Hawaii, when the lava cools or hits the water new land begins to be formed.   Over time, this new land will be able to sustain life or make the island bigger. What a great analogy for the Holy Spirit.   The fire of the Spirit burns in the hearts in each of us.   In Baptism and Confirmation, we receive the very life of God, the very Spirit God comes to us.   It is present in us whether we practice our faith or not.   The Spirit is like the molten lava in the core of earth; the Spirit is there working under the surface and waiting for the day we allow It to break through the solid walls of our resistance, our lack of faith, our sin, our coldness, our fear.   On that day, the fire of the Power of God erupts with such force that we are forever changed.   The hardness of our hearts is destroyed; our sin is forgiven, our fear is destroyed, our coldness is... --- ### Bulletin June 3, 2018 - Published: 2018-06-03 - Modified: 2018-05-30 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-june-3-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Bulletin-June-3-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin May 27, 2018 - Published: 2018-05-27 - Modified: 2018-05-23 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-27-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Bulletin-May-27-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin May 20, 2018 - Published: 2018-05-20 - Modified: 2018-05-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-20-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Bulletin-May-20-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin May 13, 2018 - Published: 2018-05-13 - Modified: 2018-05-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-13-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Bulletin-May-13-2018. pdf --- ### Jesus our friend Homily 5 6 18 - Published: 2018-05-12 - Modified: 2018-05-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/jesus-our-friend-homily-5-6-18/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog What do we do with our friends?    Spend time together, talk with each other, share a meal with each other, be there for each other…. my friend Jesus and your friend Jesus wants to do the same with us.   Jesus wants to spend time with us, but we need to make time for him.    No friendship can survive with a few tweets or messages a month or a year.   Jesus wants more.   He wants to have a meal with us…. . here at the Eucharist.   This Holy Meal has been set before us by God Himself and the food we share is His Divine Presence.   To be friends with Jesus means we give up as much for others as he gives up for us.   Jesus loves us so much that He gives us everything possible and then says to go and do it to all we meet.   To be Jesus' friend is to befriend every person in the world as He does.    Jesus excludes no one from His friendship.   We exclude ourselves; we keep Him at a distance; we think we don't need him.   Yet, whether we want to admit it or not, we do. The friendship that Jesus calls us to is not a friendship of connivence. He demands from us a commitment.   It is not easy to be a friend of Jesus because he calls us to love as unconditionally as He loves.   We need to love ourselves as Jesus loves us; we need to love others as Jesus loves them,... --- ### How has God's love changed your life? 5-13-18 - Published: 2018-05-12 - Modified: 2018-05-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/how-has-gods-love-changed-your-life-5-13-18/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog     In a reflection that I was reading about this week's second reading, the author ended with a question:  How has God's love changed my life?   To be honest, when I first saw it, I drew a blank.   I know this is a question that I really need to sit with and I invite you this week to do the same.   In today's first reading, we see how God's love changed the Church by providing a replacement for Judas.     The Spirit of God guided Peter and the other apostles to provide for leadership and a person to witness to Jesus.   Obviously, Matthias must have known Jesus and had been with him since the beginning.   He had a relationship with Jesus as friend, Lord and Savior.   Jesus's love for him and the love Matthias witnessed on the Cross changed his life. However, that still does not answer my question.    How has God's love changed my life?   The most basic change for me was a realization that Jesus wasn't something I read about in a theology book or in the catechism, but a real and living person who continues to be as alive as he was 2000 + years ago.   His presence is as real today and he continues to call people to follow Him.   This Jesus knows me; and He knows you.   Jesus want to be so connected to us that he became one like this.   Jesus loved us with perfect love.   On the Cross, he gave His all for... --- ### Bulletin May 6, 2018 - Published: 2018-05-06 - Modified: 2018-05-02 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-6-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Bulletin-May-6-2018. pdf --- ### "I am the vine and you are the branches" 4/29/18 - Published: 2018-04-30 - Modified: 2018-04-30 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/i-am-the-vine-and-you-are-the-branches-4-29-18/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog I am the vine and you are the branches This is such an easy concept to grasp about God.   Christ is the Vine.   Each of us are the leaves.     If we are not connected to Christ through the grace of the Sacraments, then we dry up and blow away like the dust.   This is the mystery of the Eucharist.   When we receive Holy Communion, Christ transforms us into His Body.   Each of us has an integral part to play in the mission of the Church.   Each of us has an integral part in building up the Kingdom of God. When one member isn't here or expecting someone else to do the work, then the whole Body is weakened.   Like the vine is affected when one branch breakers off  or is injured, so too the Church.   I believe with all my heart that everything we need to do the mission of Christ which is make disciples of all nations is already here in this Church.   What God can and will do is to feed the branches and bring them to flower, if we are willing to let God do it.   If one-person won't get involved in the mission, then it makes the Body weak.   If one person is not participating in the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist, that branch will grow weak and if it falls off, the vine is hurt and vulnerable. When we come forward to Communion, the priest or minister say "The Body of Christ".   Yes, we are saying... --- ### Bulletin April 29, 2018 - Published: 2018-04-29 - Modified: 2018-04-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-april-29-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Bulletin-April-29-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin April 22, 2018 - Published: 2018-04-22 - Modified: 2018-04-18 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-april-22-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Bulletin-April-22-2018. pdf --- ### I am the Good Shepherd.........The Fourth Sunday of Easter 2018 - Published: 2018-04-21 - Modified: 2018-04-21 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/i-am-the-good-shepherd-the-fourth-sunday-of-easter-2018/ - Categories: Fr.

Here is the great thing about our God, the Good Shepherd.   He invites us to his banquet, his party every weekend.   He calls us by name; just think about that:  Jesus knows each person here by name.    Like the shepherd that knows each of his sheep; so, Jesus knows us.   An interesting thing about sheep is that they learn to tell the difference between shepherds.   A sheep will not follow another shepherd because the shepherd has learned what they look like and the sheep have learned his voice.    The same thing needs to be in our lives.   We, the sheep of the Lord, need to be able to recognize his voice among all the other voices that are trying to call us away from him.    To be honest, we all try to follow the other shepherds.   The shepherd of apathy (why bother), the shepherd of laziness (it is too much work to be a Christian), the shepherd of envy and greed; the shepherd of making other things more important than the practice of our faith, the shepherd of stubbornness,... --- ### Bulletin April 15, 2018 - Published: 2018-04-18 - Modified: 2018-04-18 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-april-15-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Bulletin-April-15-2018. pdf --- ### Living Stations of the Cross 2018 - Published: 2018-04-17 - Modified: 2018-04-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/living-stations-of-the-cross-2018/ - Categories: Photo Gallery Our youth ministry performed the stations of the cross beautifully again this year!

Tom's Blog In a study done in 2017 by the the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate, the research are on the United States Catholic Conference, about why our young people are leaving the Church (15-25), one of the reasons we are losing them is their struggle with the beliefs of the Church, especially some of the moral beliefs.   One thing that struck me was the statement by many  of them was that they felt that they were not given a space to discuss their doubts and struggles with the faith.   One thing I wondered was if we, the older church, had helped them to develop a living relationship with Jesus?     It was this relationship that allowed Thomas in today's gospel to ask his questions, to struggle with his grief and loss, to wonder why.   It was being part of a community that welcomed him in spite of this fears and questions that provided Thomas a safe place to wonder why. Although this study did not provide the solution, it did provide the questions.   We all wonder why people do not practice the faith, even if they are brought up in families that practice the faith.   We mourn the loss of the church that was filled with all ages of people; from the baby crying in the back of the church to the person who has been coming for their whole life's.

Tonight, we are the people who gather in the Upper Room; but the Lamb is the One who left us the memorial of His death and resurrection in the Eucharist.   The unleavened Bread of the Seder. The bread of the journey of freedom, now is the eternal presence of the Lamb who freely gave his Life for us.   The wine that was shared there is now the Blood of Christ out poured for us.   Whenever the Church gathers here, in the Upper Room of Calvary, the Jesus who died and rose is present in our midst and we do this in His memory.   Here we experience the grace of Calvary.   Here, the grace that flowed from his pierced side continues to flow into us through the mystery of the lasting Gift; until he comes again. The challenge of the sacrifice of the Upper Room is found in Jesus's word: "Do this in memory of me.

For the last three days, this is what has attracted our attention.   So, how do we make any sense of it?   In all reality, only in faith.   But, the faith of a Christian is not faith in an idea or a concept that can measured or found under a microscope.   The faith of a Christian is in the living person of Jesus Christ who is a real today as he was in that Upper Room, on Calvary and who left that tomb. With the eyes of faith: The Upper Room is the place where He gave us the very gift of Himself in the Eucharist and the mandate of discipleship:  serve each other The Cross is the eternal sign that all darkness is destroyed.   There is always mercy and forgiveness.   It is in the Cross we find the true meaning of Love:  true love is to sacrifice oneself for another who is friend or stranger, sinner or saint, poor or rich:  for all people. The Empty tomb is the sign of the truth that Jesus conquered the power of death.  He overcame the grave and it has no power on those who faith in Him.   When we come face to face with the tomb, as sad as it is and as bad as we feel, our friend Jesus stands right next to us.   He lets us know we are not alone and death... --- ### Bulletin April 1, 2018 - Published: 2018-04-01 - Modified: 2018-03-28 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-april-1-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Bulletin-April-1-2018. pdf --- ### Bible Bonanza 2018 - Published: 2018-03-29 - Modified: 2018-03-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/bible-bonanza-2018/ - Categories: Photo Gallery Our kindergarten through fifth graders had a great time acting out many scenes from the bible.

Tom's Blog This Holy Week is a contrast of emotions.    We who have so much are told to be slaves and wash another's feet.   We are filled with joy at the coming of the Messiah; but filled with dread when we must proclaim our faith to others.   We must confront the apostle Peter in ourselves and realize we have the potential to deny Jesus.   Sadly, we all must see the Judas in us; that part of us that will betray Jesus and others because of our selfish motivations.   This week is seeing in the Passover Meal, not the sacrifice of a bull on Sinai or a Lamb roasted and bread made in a hurry to flee, we are to see that the Lamb is Jesus himself who offers himself for our sake.   He  commands us to enter into this sacrificial mystery every time we gather and take bread that becomes His Body and share a cup that is His Blood.   Such simple realities become the Divine Mystery; a Meal celebrating the freedom of a people from slavery becomes the Meal that is the memorial of what Jesus did to free us from the slavery of death; a share in the  Sacrifice that frees us from the slavery that Adam and Eve trapped us in because of their disobedience in the garden of Eden. This week we climb a hill, not to see a glorious Christ, but a suffering and Crucified Lord.   In Him, we see not a criminal or outcast, but every... --- ### Bulletin March 25, 2018 - Published: 2018-03-25 - Modified: 2018-03-21 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-25-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Bulletin-March-25-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin March 18, 2018 - Published: 2018-03-18 - Modified: 2018-03-14 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-18-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Bulletin-March-18-2018. pdf --- ### Unless the seed falls to the ground and dies ....... Homily 3/18/18 - Published: 2018-03-17 - Modified: 2018-03-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/unless-the-seed-falls-to-the-ground-and-dies-homily-3-18-18/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Last fall, I planted some tulip bulbs here and up at my brothers. I am anticipating that I will see them begin to poke up in the next few weeks. It would be easy to think that the bulbs are doing nothing all winter. But, things are happening. They are waiting for the water from the melting snow to seep down, for the earth to unfreeze, and the warmth of the sun to warm the earth and help it begin to grow. Think of what is happening as it begins to poke its head out of the ground. The tulip needs to push its way up from the ground; then once its stalk comes through, it forms a blossom and the world is changed by its beauty. Our life in Christ is like the tulip bulb. Sometimes it looks like nothing is going on; but then there are times when we see our faith bearing fruit. At times, the hard soil of our hearts needs to be broken up by the gentle warmth of God's presence or the dew of the Holy Spirit. This gentle warmth is grace. We cannot bear fruit if we think we are the gardeners; God is the one who has planted the seed of faith within us and only with God can the seed of faith grow in us. Our life of discipleship is a constant dying and rising, of planting and harvesting, of forgiveness and joy. The life of faith needs to be lived... --- ### Ecumenical Lenten Lunch 2018 - Published: 2018-03-16 - Modified: 2018-03-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/ecumenical-lenten-lunch-2018/ - Categories: Fr.

I am an upstate New York guy who had some exposure to the needs of the poor, so I had an idea of what we were walking into. Getting there, we divided ourselves up to do the tasks and talked with the person who was in charge……toward the end of the line, I think we all were feeling pretty good about helping the hungry,,,,Isn't that what Mt 25 says……we also were talking about stopping at Burger King on the way back to the university to get something to eat…. . when the sister in charge announced to us…. .

Tom's Blog One area of therapy that I have extensive training in is anger management. This is one area of life that I work on with someone which for the most part is normal. Anger is part of the human experience. If the energy of anger is used in a positive way, then it can change worlds. I think of the young people in Florida and across the country who are channeling their anger about the loss of friends and peers into a movement that governments and us older people cannot and should not ignore. Our young people's anger needs to challenge us all. I think of Mahatma Gandhi and how Indian independence was won. Not through violence, but nonviolent resistance. So now, we come face to face with Jesus in the cleansing of the Temple. He definitely was angry. But, did his destruction of property justifies the means? Conflict resolution says to have a dialogue, express your thought and feelings, and look for consensus. I am quite sure that this approach would have not worked. Jesus' s righteous anger was not against the individuals but against what they were doing. The money changers played an important role. The Roman coins used in ordinary life could not be used in the Temple because the coins had Caesar's image on them. As we heard in the first reading, there could be no graven images. The money changes changed the money into a temple coin with no image. So far, so good. But, of... --- ### Second Week of Lent: The transfiguration of the hope - Published: 2018-02-26 - Modified: 2018-02-26 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/second-week-lent-transfiguration-hope/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog On Sunday, we went up the mountain of Transfiguration.   On that mountain, we caught glimpse of who Jesus is and who we can be.   We are reflections of the Divine Light of God's glory.   Jesus showed the apostles who he was as they approached Jerusalem where he would suffer and die.   They needed to know who Jesus was so they could be sustained in the days to come.   I think that they also needed to reminded of who they were.   The troubled times that were awaiting them in Jerusalem would be the most difficult times they would face.   Jesus gave them something to hold onto in those dark days. We need to be reminded during Lent who we are.   In the struggles of our life, we can get so self focused that we miss who we really are:  we are reflections of the Divine Light of God.   In the darkest night, in the darkest time of life, we are called to shine forth.   A spark in the darkness is a bright as brightest light in day time.   So many people  struggle in darkness every day.   When I reflect on the recent events in Florida, the passion of the young people who are speaking out is a bright light shining in our world.   Their light shines in a world that seems to have more concerned about the status quo than making the changes to make our society a better place.   These young men and women are the lights shining in the... --- ### February 25, 2018 - Published: 2018-02-25 - Modified: 2018-02-21 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/february-25-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Bulletin-February-25-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin February 18, 2018 - Published: 2018-02-18 - Modified: 2018-02-14 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-18-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Bulletin-February-18-2018. pdf --- ### First Sunday of Lent 2/18/18 The Desert is not a bad place - Published: 2018-02-17 - Modified: 2018-02-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/first-sunday-lent-2-18-18-desert-not-bad-place/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog The desert can seem to be a scary place.   After all, there are snakes (not my favorite animal), scorpions, plants with spines that hurt, and it is extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night.   Given how retreats happen today in nice comfortable places, a room with heat or AC, meals, I can not think that Jesus could have a more comfortable place to be with the Father.   However, the desert image returns us to the wanderings of the People of Israel for 40 years in the desert on their way to the Promised Land.   They had to learn to depend on God for everything: water, food, direction.   They had to learn to worship God alone and not golden calves.   They had to learn that power comes from service and faithfulness to the covenant. Jesus's temptations are the challenges of the 40 days of the Lenten season.   In his homily on Ash Wednesday, the Holy Father offers a plan for our Lenten observance.   The first step is to pause.   Jesus's going into the desert after His Baptism was a pause before He began his mission.   He challenges us this Lent to take a pause and honestly look at our lives as His followers. Remember the second reading from St Paul on Ash Wednesday: Working together, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For he says: In an acceptable time I heard you, and on the day of salvation I helped you... . --- ### Ash Wednesday Homily 2/14/18 - Published: 2018-02-13 - Modified: 2018-02-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/ash-wednesday-homily-2-14-18/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Let us begin the fast with joy! Let us prepare ourselves for spiritual efforts! Let us cleanse our soul and cleanse our flesh! Let us abstain from every passion as we abstain from food! Let us rejoice in the virtues of the Spirit and fulfill them in love, that we all may see the Passion of Christ our God,and rejoice in spirit at the holy Pascha! This is the chant that the Orthodox church sings at the beginning of Lent. These words can set the stage for us this year as we do Lent. Begin the fast with joy Lent is hard work, but a work that makes us better disciples of Jesus.   Today is an invitation to each of us from God……Jesus stands in front of us and says "Commit your life to me"…. our yes to this invitation is one of the most joyful things we can experience and one of the most challenging. Prepare ourselves with spiritual efforts Lent is a time to pray better.   Prayer is opening your heart to God which is why Jesus tell us to "But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. "  Lent is the time to go into the secret room of our hearts and allow God to talk to us.   In this secret room, God will show us who we are:  his Beloved Child.

Tom's Blog I have never worked with a family or individual who has told me that an addiction was an opportunity for blessedness. This disease untreated is not to blessed.   I have heard it said in 12 step groups that addiction is the easiest disease to cure... and the hardest.   Easiest because the answer is don't use; hardest because the struggle is don't use. The feelings associated with addiction…hurt, guilt, self-loathing, pain, anger, sadness…are hardly a blessing.   A person dealing with an addiction has only one thing in mind…when and how do I get a fix?   A person caught in the chains of addiction does not see God or blessedness; only the need to use. If we look at with the eyes of faith we don't deny the reality of the pain and devastation that addiction inflicts, but we can see where God is…. . He stands in solidarity with the addict calling him/her to sobriety , freedom  and peace; he stands in solidarity with the family members in their worry, their struggle and the need to practice tough love.   Blessedness is the awareness of a God who can free a person from the entanglement of an illness that affects everything.    Giving one's life over to God or a Higher Power is to accept that you are blessed and always have been…. even if you have been high or drunk. Blessedness is the awareness of the God who walks with us in the darkest valleys with his rod and staff to protect us; even... --- ### Bulletin February 11, 2018 - Published: 2018-02-11 - Modified: 2018-02-07 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-11-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Bulletin-February-11-2018. pdf --- ### Homily 2/4/18 The free gift of faith and what it means - Published: 2018-02-05 - Modified: 2018-02-05 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/homily-2-4-18-free-gift-faith-means/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog I don't know anyone who would say no to something free.   You walk into the store and see buy one and get one free.   We all bring the two things up the checkout; proud of ourselves because we saved a few bucks……but, how many times do we read the fine print or get to the register and find out…. yes it is free…after filling out the paper work to get a rebate we will have to wait for for two three weeks…. So, in reality, it was not free.   We have to work for the rebate.   At that moment, I have a discussion in my own head…. Do I really want to put the time and energy into saving a few cents? St Paul in in the second reason comes to the conclusion that he has received freely the grace of God won by the Cross of Christ; but, it was a gift that held a responsibility.   "I preach the gospel, this is no reason for me to boast, for an obligation has been imposed on me, and woe to me if I do not preach it! "  Paul, by saying yes to the Lord, had the responsibility to tell others about Jesus.   Being a disciple was not to keep the gift to himself, but a mandate to share it with others. We also see this in the story of the healing of Simon's mother in law.   You would think that that since she was sick, they would have waited on her.   Yet, she... --- ### Bulletin February 4, 2018 - Published: 2018-02-04 - Modified: 2018-01-31 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-4-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Bulletin-February-4-2018. pdf --- ### Lent is on the horizon - Published: 2018-01-29 - Modified: 2018-01-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/lent-is-on-the-horizon/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Lent is quickly approaching.   In this coming week's bulletin, I gave a short reflection on what we can do for Lent.   In the daily lectionary, we read the Gospel of Ash Wednesday every other year, in the middle of the summer.   It always reminds me that the three traditional practices of Lent are spiritual practices we need to incorporate into our spiritual life all year round.   If we give something up for Lent, like candy or desserts and do not connect it those who go without, then our fasting is only a diet to loose weight.   The result of the practice is to bring up closer to the Lord and to a more authentic practice of the faith. When I was retreat last week, I took myself off the web.   I was amazed the difference.   To get off the grid was an opportunity to refocus on the Lord only and to re awaken with me the beauty of the world around.   I would highly encourage this for every Christian.   To regularly practice this type of fasting, I believe will create a space for God to speak to us.   My prayer for the parish is that the growth we begin this Lent will be the beginning of a relationship with the Lord that continues beyond Easter --- ### Bulletin January 28, 2018 - Published: 2018-01-28 - Modified: 2018-01-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-28-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Bulletin-January-28-2018. pdf --- ### Bulletin January 21, 2018 - Published: 2018-01-21 - Modified: 2018-01-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-21-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Bulletin-January-21-2018. pdf --- ### Who introduced you to Jesus? - Published: 2018-01-18 - Modified: 2018-01-18 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/who-introduced-you-to-jesus/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog Who introduced you to Jesus?   Not who taught you the prayers or  taught the doctrine, but who introduced you to the living person Jesus Christ?   John the Baptist shows Andrew who Jesus is, Andrew got to know Jesus, and then he introduces Jesus to Peter, and it was a snowball effect.   One person has introduced Jesus to another, that person forms a relationship with him, and then introduces Jesus to someone else.   Sometimes, the introduction begins with witness.   I bet for most of us how we began to know Jesus was done by example.   Someone we knew or know lives so close to Jesus which is reflected in their attitude and actions, that we are attracted and want to know the person who enables them to be like that.   Other times, someone gives a witness talk and introduces Jesus on a whole new level.   Once the introduction is done, then it is up to us to put the time and effort into making it work, just like any other relationship. Jesus wants to be in a life giving intimate relationship with us; but, he won't force us.   The other thing is that our relationship with Christ must seep into the very depths of who we are and be the source of all our decisions and attitudes.   For example, the very first principle of Catholic Social teaching it to recognize and honor the dignity of the human person.   Jesus certainly lived that out.   From the lepers he cured, the sinners he... --- ### Bulletin January 14, 2018 - Published: 2018-01-14 - Modified: 2018-01-10 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-14-2018/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Bulletin-January-14-2018. pdf --- ### Saying good bye to Christmas 2017 - Published: 2018-01-12 - Modified: 2018-01-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/saying-good-bye-christmas-2017/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog The Christmas season ends with two feasts of manifestations.   At the Epiphany, Christ is shown as the savior of all the nations.   At the Feast of the Baptism, it is revealed to us that he is the Eternal Son of the Father by the testimony of the Holy Spirit. Imagine how surprised people were when they realized these sacred facts.   Jesus did not fit into the mold other people expected.   The Magi represent the nations of the world.   They teach us that the search for God is universal.   It is not limited to one group of people.   God has planted in each heart, the desire to be with him.   As St. Augustine tells us, "Our hearts are restless until they rest in thee".    The search for God is not easy; it demands from us some sweat equity.   We need to choose to have a relationship with God.   God chooses us whether we believe in him or not.   However, given the gift of free will, we need to choose Christ.   We need to be committed to him. The day of the Baptism of Jesus was just an ordinary day.   People were at the Jordan, listening to John the Baptist, and no one probably paid much attention to Jesus approaching.    There was nothing about him that made him stand out of the crowd.   However, when John saw his cousin, he say beyond the person he knew and saw the Eternal Son of God that the Spirit revealed.   Consider the scene.   The Jordan... --- ### St Nicolas 2017 - Published: 2018-01-11 - Modified: 2018-01-11 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/st-nicolas-2017/ - Categories: Photo Gallery A visit from St Nicholas on Dec 6 2017!

Tom's Blog Mary, the Mother of God   A few years ago I was looking through a news magazine and come across the image of a mother in the Middle East holding her child in the middle of war torn city.   She had dark skin, dark eyes, and was holding her child in such a tender and protecting way.   I could not help but think that this is what Mary must have looked liked.   She probably looked like any other Middle Eastern mother of the day…. she was a refugee for a while because the government told her to leave her land and she escaped to Egypt when Herod wanted to kill her Son, she worked hard, raised her child, took care of her husband and her house, worried about Jesus when she didn't know where he was, eventually she had to make it as a widow, she saw the cruelty of the Roman government in her land, she watched her Son be killed and could do nothing but be there with him….   It was this Mother that Jesus gave the Church, you and me, from the Cross.   John the Beloved represents us when Jesus says "Behold your Son" and he says to each of us here today "Behold your Mother". These words are very important for us in this parish because we are specifically under her care and protection.

In the Ark, Moses had place the Tablets of the Law which God gave his people. This was the place where God dwelled among his people.   David wanted to build a Temple, a worthy house, in which God would dwell.   However, notice what God tells him "He will build the house" Not David, but God himself. David's son, Solomon does build a magnificent Temple which replaced the Tent of Presence.  The Ark of the Covenant was placed in the Holy of Holies. A part of Solomon's Temple remains in Jerusalem today; the Wailing Wall which is one of most sacred sites for the Jewish Nation. But, this Temple was not the house God told David built.   The Temple was destroyed three times and rebuilt until it was almost completely destroyed in 78AD by the Romans. The reality for us is that God's Temple was never destroyed.   God's Temple was born in the womb of the Virgin Mary…. God took flesh and dwelt among us or the more accurate translation is that he pitched his Tent among us…. a direct reference back to the Temple of presence which held the Ark with the Tablets of the Law.   Mary, by her yes to the angel, becomes the New Ark of the Covenant,  She becomes the God Bearer.   Jesus is the New Temple…... . --- ### Gaudete Sunday The Sunday of Joy - Published: 2017-12-17 - Modified: 2017-12-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/gaudete-sunday-sunday-joy/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog "Rejoice in the Lord always". This Third Sunday of Advent is day of joy.   We rejoice the Christmas is near, but, we always rejoice because Jesus is a part of our lives everyday.   It is easy to let Christ be important only on the Feast of Christmas.   Unfortunately, for many, even Christ is left out of Christmas.   The focus of rejoicing is in the gifts, the parties and stuff.    For us Christians, we are joyful and rejoice because Jesus is alive in our hearts 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.   By choosing Jesus everyday, our joy will not end, even when life gets difficult.   Being a Christian is no guarantee that our lives will be easy; but, how we handle our struggles and difficulties will be different.   We see in the manger scene…. a place filled with the smell of animals and hay,  a place hardly worth the birth of King, …. the dawn of salvation, the cause of our joy.   As we quickly approach the feast of Christmas, may our hearts be filled with the a joy that we know year round.   May the Christ whose birth we celebrate be the center of our lives and the cause of our joy. --- ### Bulletin December 17, 2017 - Published: 2017-12-17 - Modified: 2017-12-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-december-17-2017/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Bulletin-December-17-2017. pdf --- ### Second Sunday of Advent 12/10/17 & Our Lady of Guadalupe 12/12/17 - Published: 2017-12-12 - Modified: 2017-12-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/second-sunday-advent-12-10-17-lady-guadalupe-12-12-17/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog How many of you have alerts on your cell phones?   Depending on how you have it set up, you could be seeing something from the weather app,  maybe something has happened in the world and whatever news app you follow is letting you know, maybe it(the cell phone) is telling you have an email ,text or something.   These alerts can be very helpful, but they can also be annoying.    I want to turn mine off sometimes and tell it to leave me alone……. I just don't want to know John the Baptist fills the role of an alert for us.   "Get ready". Prepare the way" "Something great is about to happen"……and, like the people John preached to, we can either listen or ignore it.   Isaiah, in the first reading, is the alert for the people of Israel in the exile of Babylon. He basically tell the people:  God is about to do something great.   Comfort is coming, freedom is on the horizon, we are going home…. A new Exodus is about to happen…. God is going to marvelous things…. . and the people of Israel had the same choice as the people of John's day and us…. . Listen to the alert and get ready or ignore it, don't believe it, be pessimistic about it…… In Jesus, God did something great for the world that was never done before…. the prophets looked for it and John pointed to it……. .

Tom's Blog As we begin the Advent season this weekend, we have to be careful it is not lost in the middle of all the other "stuff" of this time of year. This very brief time of reflection and preparation is a gift. We have all said it and hear it: I am too busy. I don't have the time to do (Fill in the blank). The trick of the season of Advent is to stop, breath, and realize what is truly important. God! Isn't He is the reason we have Christmas? Isn't he the one who was born of the Blessed Mother? Isn't he the one Saint Joseph protected and cared for? During this holy time, we look ahead with joy and hope for His Second Coming. As I have said a few times, if we are praying and meeting Christ everyday, the Second Coming is nothing to be afraid of. It will be a meeting of an old friend. What the second coming will be like is seen in Isaiah 11/1-10. The peace of His Presence will wipe away all war, all violence, all hatred and people will live harmony with each other. No one will be judged because of their race, ethnicity, religion, immigration status, sexual orientation, etc.   God will sit in the middle of the great multitude of peace. We also look back to the First Coming of Christ. In this time, we prepare ourselves by looking back and reflecting on what we would be like without Christ... . --- ### Christ the King 11/26/17 - Published: 2017-11-27 - Modified: 2017-12-02 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/christ-king-11-26-17/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog I am wondering how much freedom a person has if their leaders are kings and queens. As far as I know, a king and queen is not elected. The throne is passed down. The average person never has a say in who will lead their nation. History teaches us that some royalty have been good and the country has flourished in many ways; others tyrants and still others who ruined their countries on the backs of their people. But, the normal person has no choice. To be a part of the Kingdom of God, however, demands a choice from each one of us. We are not the serfs and subjects of a kingdom where there is no choice. God, the ruler of the universe, invites us everyday to be a part of the Kingdom of heaven. It is not enough to be baptized. We must choose our baptism everyday because in baptism we were invited into the Kingdom of God. But, our baptism also acknowledges our free will. Because of that, we are given the choice to be a part of God's Kingdom…. every single day. Our King is not a tyrant or removed from our lives on a golden throne locked up in a castle. Our King is not sitting in some far away place never interacting with us. Our King walks among us all the time. But, the parable shows us where: In the naked and the sick, in the hungry and thirsty, in the stranger and prisoner, and... --- ### Bulletin November 26, 2017 - Published: 2017-11-26 - Modified: 2017-11-22 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-november-26-2017/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Bulletin-November-26-2017. pdf --- ### THANKSGIVING 2017.          Let us give thanks to the Lord - Published: 2017-11-22 - Modified: 2017-11-22 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/5345/ - Categories: Fr.

Tom's Blog The parable of the 10 bridesmaids is a challenge to be aware and alert and ready for Christ's coming at the end of time, and to be ready today.   In the time of Jesus, the wedding celebration was different than what we do.   The groom would go the bride's house accompanied by his family and friends, and would jokingly haggle with the father of the bride about the dowery.   The higher the price; the most precious the bride.   At this, of course it was all symbolic, the dowery had already been settled but it could take some time.   When it was all over, the bridegroom would bring the bride to his house for the ceremony and celebration.   However, since no one knew how long the father and groom would spend haggling, people were sent ahead to announce the coming of the bridegroom.   This was the job of the bridesmaids …. they were to light the way for the bride and bridegroom and announce the time of the wedding was near.    They had to be prepared and ready because they didn't know how long the "haggling" would last.   We are the bridesmaids……we need to be ready to announce the coming of Christ the Bridegroom.   Our challenge to is to keep the lamp of faith alive, filled with oil of grace, and our faith burning brightly.   How?   By actively engaging the life of faith.   We need to be actively praying and renewing our spiritual life.

Tom's Blog I am sure you all join me in prayer for those who were killed as they worshipped last Sunday morning.   I cannot imagine the horror that the people in that church felt.   Jesus tells us that "My Father's house is a house of prayer"; yet, too many times in the last few years it has become a place of violence and mourning.   In many ways, it drives home to me the need to realize how risky the life of a Christian can be.   Our very worship is a statement of who we are and a challenge to those who do not agree with us. I cannot help but think of the French priest who was murdered a few years ago as he celebrated Mass.   I could not think when I read about it, how many times I had said morning Mass and never worried about my safety.    I firmly pray that our Sunday worship will never be something to fear. Many people are wondering why this happened and the news has all sorts of explanations.   The reality is that we may never really know.   Who can really know what happens inside a person when they commit such an act?   I am not willing to jump to the catch-all phrase that he was mentally ill.    Too many people already are afraid of mentally people and think that a person is violent.   Some statistic show that many of the victims of violence are actually those with mental illness.   Do some people who... --- ### Bulletin November 5, 2017 - Published: 2017-11-05 - Modified: 2017-11-01 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-november-5-2017/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Bulletin-November-5-2017. pdf --- ### Homily 10/29/17 "What the world needs now is love" - Published: 2017-10-30 - Modified: 2017-10-30 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/homily-102917-world-needs-now-love/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog At the risk of dating myself, do any of you remember the old song that Dionne Warwick sang in 1966:   What the world needs now is love, sweet love It's the only thing that there's just too little of What the world needs now is love, sweet love, No not just for some but for everyone. …   Jesus , when asked by the Pharisee, what the greatest commandment is resounds with the Shema.   The Shema is said everyday in the Jewish community.   It is akin to the Our Father for us.   The greatest commandment is to love God above everything.   What does it mean to love God?   I think is is total dedication to Him.   Love is not a feeling.   It is a commitment. I love to eat chocolate chip cookies, but that feeling goes away when I am hungry again. Also, if I eat too many, than I am putting my health and waistline at risk.   To love God is to actively commit ourselves everyday, every hour, every moment to God.   It is not dependent our our feelings.     God's love is incarnate in Jesus; God gave us everything he could give us; his very self.   Why would Jesus go the Cross if not for Love?   I think what we need to teach our young people is about God's abiding love.   We need to help them (and ourselves) commit our entire life's to God.

Tom's Blog This weekend's Gospel is a challenge for us.   It would appear that Jesus is telling us to keep our civil responsibilities and our religious responsibilities separate from one another.   Pay your taxes; pray to God, but not at the same time.   At one time in the history of the Church, pre-Vatican II, this was the prevailing attitude.   In this view, the world was not a good place, but the Church promised heaven.   However, since Vatican II, the documents of the Council have challenged us to be salt and leaven to society. We read in Lumen Gentium 31: " But the laity, by their very vocation, seek the kingdom of God by engaging in temporal affairs and by ordering them according to the plan of God. They live in the world, that is, in each and in all of the secular professions and occupations. They live in the ordinary circumstances of family and social life, from which the very web of their existence is woven. They are called there by God that by exercising their proper function and led by the spirit of the Gospel they may work for the sanctification of the world from within as a leaven. In this way they may make Christ known to others, especially by the testimony of a life resplendent in faith, hope and charity. Therefore, since they are tightly bound up in all types of temporal affairs it is their special task to order and to throw light upon these affairs in such... --- ### Bulletin October 15, 2017 - Published: 2017-10-15 - Modified: 2017-10-11 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-15-2017/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Bulletin-October-15-2017. pdf --- ### Homily Oct 8, 2017 Worry and the Gospel - Published: 2017-10-14 - Modified: 2017-10-14 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/homily-oct-8-2017-worry-gospel/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog How much time do you and I spend worrying about the future? Speaking only for myself, sometimes too much. Much of what I get thinking about and worrying about, I really have no control over and it all works out somehow. When St Paul wrote in the second reading, "Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. ", the word "anxiety" in this passing end in Greek means " to be unduely concerned about the future. " One of the commentators, I read that the Scripture was translated into English, the word used meant "to strangle". What a great way to think about all the worrying we do about the future: it strangles out our joy and our hope. St Paul doesn't mean that to worry or to have concerns is a bad thing. Parents worry about their children. The shooting in Las Vegas needs to concern each one of us. Worry about a bad storm, worry about a health crisis, and the list continues is normal. Paul tells us these are things we bring to the Lord. Our worries and our concerns are the "stuff" of our prayer. When it becomes a problem is when we allow the worry to take over. We all can get into the mentality of, sure I'll bring it to the Lord, but I am not really sure God is going to take care of it…. and we don't let the undue worry go…. and it... --- ### Homily Oct 15, 2017 The Wedding Feast - Published: 2017-10-14 - Modified: 2017-10-14 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-toms-blog/homily-oct-15-2017-wedding-feast/ - Categories: Fr. Tom's Blog A lot of people will say that the reason they don't come to Mass is because it is boring and they don't get anything out of it. Today's First reading and the Gospel give us an insight into what the Eucharist is all about. It is a promise of what is to come; it is the reality of a God who loves us so much that he died and rose and continue to be present to us and to feed us until the day the promise is fulfilled in heaven. This is the wedding feast that the Gospel is talking about. This is the mountain of Isaiah . Take a few minutes and think about that……we have been invited here by the Lord. That invitation began on the day of our baptism. On that day, Jesus invited us to his wedding feast. He gave us the garment of righteousness and faith. On that day, we were enlighten by Christ and given new vision to see the Kingdom in our midst. On that day, we were given a mandate to go the highways and by ways of our time and invite all, not just a chosen few, to the wedding feast of the Lamb. I always thought the guy at the end of the Gospel got a bum rap. The King can't find people to the wedding feast. He invites all these people and then throws this guy out because he isn't dressed right. My thought is he probably didn't have... --- ### Fr.

David's Blog Pro Patria: A Homily Fifty Days Before the Election by Monsignor James P. Moroney, Rector, St. John's Seminary, Boston MA Sunday, September 18, 2016 (click here for a downloadable PDF of this post. ) Despite the fact that it was illegal for a Catholic to vote, hold office or practice his religion in public, the Catholic gentleman Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Maryland signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776.   Thirteen years later, his cousin John was named the first Catholic Bishop in this land, a man who, by any historian's assessment, is to be counted among the founding fathers of these United States. Yet, despite the advocacy for the new American nation which Bishop Carroll embraced (so passionately that it once got him excommunicated as a young priest), or perhaps because of it, he followed three cardinal rules which governed his actions at the intersection of priesthood and patriotism: The government and her laws are to be obeyed, unless they would cause us to sin.   Here he, like the Catechism of the Catholic Church, might have cited a late second century Greek apologist: "Pay to all of them their dues, taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due. "1 All American citizens have an obligation to participate in the civic life, in order to foster, as our first President put it, "a brotherly affection and love for one another, for their fellow Citizens of the United States... --- ### St. Mary's Stained Glass Window - Published: 2016-09-19 - Modified: 2016-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/home_slider/st-marys-stained-glass-window/ - Categories: home_slider Our beautiful stained glass window located in the parish chapel. --- ### Bulletin September 18, 2016 - Published: 2016-09-18 - Modified: 2016-09-18 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-september-18-2016/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here.

David's Blog At 10:30 am on September 4th, XXIII Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Holy Father Francis celebrated in Saint Peter's Basilica Holy Mass with Rite of Canonization of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997, nee Gonxha Agnes Bojaxhiu), Religious foundress of the Congregation of the Missionaries of Charity and the Missionaries of Charity. Published here is the text of the Pope's homily delivered during the Mass: "Who can learn the counsel of God? " (Wis 9:13). This question from the Book of Wisdom that we have just heard in the first reading suggests that our life is a mystery and that we do not possess the key to understanding it. There are always two protagonists in history: God and man. Our task is to perceive the call of God and then to do his will. But in order to do his will, we must ask ourselves, "What is God's will in my life? " We find the answer in the same passage of the Book of Wisdom: "People were taught what pleases you" (Wis 9:18). In order to ascertain the call of God, we must ask ourselves and understand what pleases God. On many occasions the prophets proclaimed what was pleasing to God. Their message found a wonderful synthesis in the words "I want mercy, not sacrifice" (Hos 6:6; Mt 9:13). God is pleased by every act of mercy, because in the brother or sister that we assist, we recognize the face of God which no one can see (cf. Jn 1:18).

David's Blog 14 August 2016 20th Sunday of Ordinary Time Fr. David LeFort Jesus said to his disciples: "I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. " Judgment.   Jesus is warning his followers of a coming judgment. Repeatedly, his warnings force us to examine the implications of our commitments.   Indeed, it is all too easy to make commitments in one area of life as though they did not affect other areas as well.   Jesus warns that those who make a commitment to him will be persecuted, that a commitment of faith also means that our attitude toward material possessions must change, and that moral responsibilities must be taken with even greater seriousness. Now, in this pericope, Jesus warns that persons who... --- ### Bulletin August 14, 2016 - Published: 2016-08-14 - Modified: 2016-08-14 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-july-3-2016/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here.

David's Blog On Wednesday, Deacon John Cronin was privileged to preach the homily during the Funeral Mass for Jane Schermerhorn, the long-beloved wife of Charles.   We are grateful to Charles for giving Deacon John this opportunity:   I cannot improve on the Word of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He tells us: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. " This is a day of pain in the loss of our sister, Jane Sue Schermerhorn. But for Jane, the pain has ended. She is at the threshold of her journey home. A journey into the tender embrace of Jesus.   Jane knew suffering. She spent the last three months in the hospital. Rather Helpless. But Jane was a faithful woman. And She knew her help was in the Lord. Like St. Paul, she has "competed well," She has "finished the race. " She has "kept the faith. " Jesus was never closer to her in this life than when she was suffering. Jesus wants to come to us in our time of greatest need. And Jane in her life would come to others in their need. She had cared for her mother and father:  Harriet & Albert Earl, And for her grandmother. More recently, she has poured out from herself: tender and faithful care for her husband, Charles.   Now, Jane is in the tender care of Our Lord Jesus.   On one of Pope Francis' visits somewhere, A little girl tugged on his cassock in great distress.

David's Blog On Saturday, Deacon John Cronin was privileged to preach the homily during the Funeral Mass for Jose Mauro, the long-beloved husband of Edie Mauro.   We are grateful to Edie and her family for giving Deacon John this precious opportunity: Jose's wife of 45 years our dear Edie selected today's Scripture readings. And she chose very well. A dominant theme linking all of them is Joy. Joy of the life God gives us, And His loving deliverance of that life from death. All the friends, family, and even the casual acquaintances of Jose have helped me to know one thing for sure: Jose is a man of great Joy. A sure sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit is Joy. And Jose had that in abundance. Jose shared his joy with just about everyone he met. He'd make you feel like the most important person in the room. He gave of himself to others. He just had to share his joy and loving kindness. I was told simply that, "He's a man that you love. " Whether he was teaching dance, or beautifying a home, or kicking around a soccer ball, Or just making you smile, He gave of himself in the smallest of encounters. And he did all of this with style, and class! This joyful giving of the self is what a disciple is called to do To be an image of Jesus Christ. Jesus, at the Wedding at... --- ### 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time (C) - Published: 2016-07-25 - Modified: 2016-07-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/17th-sunday-ordinary-time-c/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog By Deacon John Cronin: When I was just a young child, I Loved having sleep-over's at my grandmother's house. We called her Nanny, And she prayed several times a day. She'd pray the Rosary, She'd pray from daily prayer books, She'd pray from a stack of prayer cards for friends and family who had died, And she prayed from a little piece of paper Filled with a running list of personal petitions that grew ever longer. The paper was worn and tattered from being folded and refolded every day. She couldn't bear to forget anyone, Especially prayers for her children: That Helene would go to Mass again; That Ed would come to visit more often; That the winter would be short, so Jack could make more money in construction to feed the kids.   I admired how prayerful Nanny was, But I wondered: "What if you don't get what you want? " "Why pray so hard? " Nanny simply said: "God always gives me what I need, Even when I don't get what I want. " Today's Gospel gives us Luke's version of the "Our Father. " It is itself a prayer of petition, Asking God our Father to give us what we need, Even if it is not what we think we want. Jesus urges us to persist at prayer. To never stop. Never "be put to the final test. " Meaning, never give in to the temptation to abandon God. Persist. Even if you're not sure you're asking... --- ### 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time (C) - Published: 2016-07-25 - Modified: 2016-07-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/16th-sunday-ordinary-time-c/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog By Deacon John Cronin: The most fruitful activity in life is to receive the Lord. To receive His true presence. To be present to Him. Last week we heard the story of the Good Samaritan, We were called to love our neighbor with extraordinary hospitality. With Martha and Mary, we're called to exercise hospitality again, But this time in receiving the Lord.   Most of us identify with Martha: How could Mary leave her to do all that work? ! And what's with Jesus taking Mary's side? !   But is He taking sides? He loves Martha tenderly, And he gently corrects her, Not for her busy work to serve Him, But for accusing Mary of being inhospitable: She says, "Lord, do you not care That my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? " This is not so much a question as it is an accusation. It reminds me of St. Mark's account of Jesus' calming the stormy sea. Jesus slept in the boat while the disciples in the boat with him feared the terrible storm. They woke him with an accusatory tone: "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing? " He rebukes the wind and sea:  "Quiet!   Be still! " The rebuke is really of the disciples' lack of faith in his Saving presence. The storms of our lives will never be still if we don't trust Jesus to steer our boat. Mary shows that trust, sitting at Jesus' feet. She's hospitable by simply being with him, Totally... --- ### 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time (C) - Published: 2016-07-25 - Modified: 2016-07-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/15th-sunday-ordinary-time-c/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog By Deacon John Cronin: In today's Gospel, Jesus challenges us to do three things: 1)         To see, 2)         To be moved with compassion 3)         To act with mercy. Most Church-goers want to be holy. To be set apart in the service of God's Love. The lawyer the supposed "expert" on God's law thinks he's holy. He definitely feels set apart. And He'd hate to associate with someone as "unclean" as a Samaritan. He knew of the law:  to love God and neighbor. But that was just all up in his head, He didn't hold this love in his heart. He used the law to give himself social status, To elevate himself above others. But even Moses, the great prophet of the Law, begged his people: "Heed the voice of the Lord… with all your heart and all your soul. "   We aren't here to beat up on the pious Jews of Jesus' day. There's a temptation for any good person to act like the lawyer. To twist God's law into a way of excluding others. To judge others as less loved by God than us. To avoid them. To look the other way.   But Jesus says:  Not so fast! Look here! Look in the ditch! Who do you see?   When I was in college in New York City, my friends and I passed by the homeless several times a day. There seemed to be more beggars than taxi cabs on Broadway. While we may have smelled them, we... --- ### 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time (C) - Published: 2016-07-25 - Modified: 2016-07-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/14th-sunday-ordinary-time-c/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog By Deacon John Cronin: This weekend we celebrate Independence Day. We rejoice in our freedom from tyranny. But the worst kind of tyranny lies in the neglect of our own freedom. As Christians, we are called to celebrate our independence every day. Not independence from God, but from sin and death. We are given the gift of independence by being totally dependent! Dependent on Jesus. On his power. On his love. On his Cross and resurrection. He sets us free. We are a people who love freedom and self-rule. But Jesus tells us we cannot be truly free until we let God rule. If we love God, our lives are really not our own. We are caretakers of his amazing gift of life. Over twenty years ago, I went to Manhattan College. I was young, on a full scholarship, and had the world at my feet. I thought I was free. I thought I was the ruler of my own little Kingdom. But the more I ignored God… … the more I chased freedom from Him, … the more miserable and enslaved I became. I had run away from an earlier call to labor in His vineyard. I placed myself into a desolate land of exile among my selfish and petty pleasures. Exile from true joy and satisfaction in God. At Manhattan, I had a friend:  Eugene Hamilton. He was faithful to the Mass. He was humble and kind. And he exuded peace and contentment. I didn't get it!

David's Blog By Deacon John Cronin: Today, Kellan Murphy Ryan will join the baptized. He becomes one of the "children of God in Christ Jesus. " We are all one in Christ Jesus.   So what does that mean?   Jesus tries to explain this to his Apostles, but it's not really sinking in yet. He tells them that yes  he is the Messiah, but not like they imagined. Many hoped for a political Messiah, who would defeat Roman occupation and make Israel a great earthly power. But this view of an Emperor Jesus holds a fundamental flaw: power is not for us to grab for ourselves especially by using the Son of God to do it. The only power that lasts is the power of God.   And God is Love. It is very easy to forget God. We are very eager to control our own little worlds. But God gave us the world. He gave us our life. He gave us our capacities to love. And -------------- he gave Katelyn and Paul, the amazing gift of little Kellan. Jesus tells the Apostles the only path to true and lasting life is by denying ourselves. The Psalm today is quite beautiful: It tells how the human heart can only be satisfied under the shadow of God's wings. Under His loving power. We are a people who were born thirsting for God. Because we are made from God's love. And it's not just our souls thirsting for heaven. It's our bodies: here and now, in... --- ### Solemnity of the Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ (Year C) - Published: 2016-07-25 - Modified: 2016-07-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/solemnity-holy-body-blood-christ-year-c/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog By Deacon John Cronin: Tomorrow is Memorial Day. The day our nation is called to remember. We remember the armed forces who died for our freedom. Who died so we may live.   This year, Memorial Day Weekend happens to fall on the Feast of Corpus Christi The Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. We here today, are called to remember the hero of heroes:  Jesus Christ. He died so that we all may live. He made the ultimate sacrifice of his body and blood so we can be freed from death itself. It is good to remember our dead. But may we especially remember Jesus' death. Because his death offers life to us all, including our fallen heroes.   Every time we come to Mass, we hear the words of Jesus the night before he died: "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me. " As disciples, we receive the true presence of our God in this bread and wine of Holy Communion.   As I receive the Eucharist today, I will ask Jesus to help me remember his perfect love. His total gift of self so that we may truly live. So that we like the 5,000 may eat and be truly satisfied.   Since the beginning of time, people have gotten into trouble because they forget. They forget who they really are. Who really satisfies them. We are the beloved Children of God.

That was the gist of a frank and wide-ranging conversation on Internet pornography and addiction that licensed clinical therapist and family therapist Peter Kleponis led for some 70 parents and young adult men and teens March 7 in the Miami Archdiocese. The group gathered at St. Gregory the Great Church in Fort Lauderdale. "Keep the computer use in a public area of the home you never leave a child alone with the Internet; if you leave a child alone with the Internet you might as well be leaving them alone with a perfect stranger that is how serious this is," said Kleponis, who is a licensed clinical therapist and assistant director of Comprehensive Counseling Services in Conshohocken, Pa. Kleponis specializes in marriage and family therapy, pastoral counseling, resolving anger, men's issues, and pornography addiction recovery through the nationally recognized Integrity Restored program (see http://peterkleponis. com). He is certified in the diagnosis and treatment of sexual addictions by the American Association of Christian Counselors' Light University and Freedom Begins Here program founded by Mark Laaser, who has a doctorate in religion and psychology. Research shows that age 8 is now the average age at which youngsters first encounter online pornography, according to... --- ### Bulletin March 13, 2016 - Published: 2016-03-13 - Modified: 2016-03-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-13-2016/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Bulletin-March-13-2016. pdf --- ### Bulletin March 6, 2016 - Published: 2016-03-06 - Modified: 2016-03-06 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-6-2016/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Bulletin-March-6-2016. pdf --- ### Bible Bonanza 2016 - Published: 2016-03-01 - Modified: 2016-03-01 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/bible-bonanza-2016/ - Categories: Photo Gallery --- ### Bulletin February 28, 2016 - Published: 2016-02-28 - Modified: 2016-02-28 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-28-2016/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Bulletin-February-28-2016. pdf --- ### Bulletin February 21, 2016 - Published: 2016-02-21 - Modified: 2016-02-21 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-21-2016/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Bulletin-February-21-2016. pdf --- ### Bulletin February 14, 2016 - Published: 2016-02-12 - Modified: 2016-02-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-14-2016/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Bulletin-February-14-2016. pdf --- ### Ash Wednesday - Published: 2016-02-09 - Modified: 2016-02-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/ash-wednesday/ - Categories: Fr.

David's Blog Recently, at the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, Archbishop J. Michael Miller of Vancouver, Canada (incidentally, a former seminary professor of mine) spoke about the great gift of our Catholic faith that parents can pass on to their children.   He shared ten tips or suggestions for parents to share the gift of faith: 1. Be present to your children. Busy-ness makes it difficult to evangelize. Stay home; eat together; do things as a family. 2. Be joyful witnesses to the Gospel. Parents are the greatest influence. Their witness, especially the father's, is a critical factor contributing to future practice. 3. Know your stuff. Catechesis is an activity of the Church and you must take pains to ensure that what you are passing on is truly the teaching of the Church. 4. Stick to the core message: Jesus loves you. He gave His life to save you and now lives beside you. 5. Pray with your children. Teach them how to pray, to become aware of God's presence in their lives. Don't wait for the perfect moment or prayer. Just do it. 5. Go to Sunday Mass together; every activity on Sunday should be planned around Sunday Mass. Frequent the sacrament of confession and show the kids that you have things to be sorry for yourself. 7. Read the Bible. Evangelization demands familiarity with God's Word and prayer flows from intimacy with Scripture. 8. Sacramentalize your home. Children are fascinated by rosaries, crucifixes, holy water, palms, etc. Use sacramental and... --- ### Bulletin November 8, 2015 - Published: 2015-11-08 - Modified: 2015-11-08 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-november-8-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Bulletin-November-8-2015. pdf --- ### 2015 Gala & Auction - Published: 2015-11-08 - Modified: 2015-11-08 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/2015-gala-auction/ - Categories: Photo Gallery --- ### Bulletin November 1, 2015 - Published: 2015-11-01 - Modified: 2015-11-01 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-november-1-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Bulletin-November-1-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin October 25, 2015 - Published: 2015-10-25 - Modified: 2015-10-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-25-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Bulletin-October-25-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin October 18, 2015 - Published: 2015-10-15 - Modified: 2015-10-15 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-18-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Bulletin-October-18-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin October 11, 2015 - Published: 2015-10-11 - Modified: 2015-10-15 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-11-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Bulletin-October-11-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin October 4, 2015 - Published: 2015-10-03 - Modified: 2015-10-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-4-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Bulletin-October-4-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin September 27, 2015 - Published: 2015-09-27 - Modified: 2015-09-27 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-september-27-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Bulletin-September-27-2015. pdf --- ### Newsletter September 2015 - Published: 2015-09-21 - Modified: 2015-09-21 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/newsletter/newsletter-september-2015/ - Categories: Newsletter The September 2015 edition of the newsletter is available: Newsletter http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Newsletter-Sept-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin September 20, 2015 - Published: 2015-09-19 - Modified: 2015-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-september-20-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Bulletin-September-20-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin September 13, 2015 - Published: 2015-09-13 - Modified: 2015-09-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-september-13-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Bulletin-September-13-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin September 6, 2015 - Published: 2015-09-06 - Modified: 2015-09-06 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-september-6-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Bulletin-September-6-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin August 30, 2015 - Published: 2015-08-31 - Modified: 2015-08-31 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-august-30-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Bulletin-August-30-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin August 23, 2015 - Published: 2015-08-23 - Modified: 2015-08-23 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-august-23-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here.

David's Blog Do you struggle to focus your attention during Mass? Does Mass sometimes become boring and routine? Do you grow spiritually at each Mass or does it seem stale? The profound wisdom found in Meditations Before Mass will help you to quiet your soul, concentrate your mind, and grow more receptive to God's grace in the Holy Mass. Written for ordinary Catholics who are struggling to become closer to Christ, this classic book by Romano Guardini is full of wisdom and offers practical, straightforward advice that will help you overcome distractions and restlessness while leading you into a more enriching experience when you enter into Holy Communion with God. Over fifty years ago, Msgr. Romano Guardini resolved to help his parishioners move beyond petty hindrances to which we are all prone to full participation in the Mass. Just before Mass each Sunday, he gave a brief talk on some aspect of the Mass, teaching his congregation week by week, topic by topic, how to prepare themselves to participate more prayerfully. So helpful were these talks that they were soon published and have since been reprinted countless times in numerous countries and languages, helping generations of Catholics to deepen their devotion during Mass. In these pages, you'll discover: What to do when Mass becomes boring and "routine" How to achieve a genuine not superficial stillness The one indispensable element for living a liturgical life How to gain control over your wandering attention One tendency we must overcome when listening to Scripture readings The real meaning of "keeping holy"... --- ### Lord, Have Mercy - Published: 2015-08-04 - Modified: 2015-08-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/lord-have-mercy/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Lord, Have Mercy 04 August 2015, Fr. David R. LeFort Please, pardon the reality that I have not, nor will not, speak of such things in our gatherings for worship. Thankfully, there are too many children and youth present that I cannot see a strong value in issuing such teaching to young, vulnerable minds, hearts, consciences and souls. I trust, however, that their parentswho know them wellwill share the values contained herein when their children can understand, grapple with, and appreciate such matters. In the last few weeks, we have all been witness to the Planned Parenthood exposé which considersas has been reported by mediasuch things as "fetal tissue", "parts for sale", "abortion rights" and "women's reproductive health". No matter the "politics" or "rationalizations", we as Christians cannot stand for a government that continually and forcefully employs and funds programs that not only denigrate women (babies that are female in gender are aborted at least 50% of the time), but more essentially, seek not to serve the good of human persons, but rather, works to craft laws and policies that allow, enable and engender within us a sense that we ourselves are able to appropriate what is good, right and valuable within Creation. Lord, have mercy on us when we act in such a way. As a Roman Catholic pastor, I am fullytruly FULLYaware of the challenges of pregnancy.

David's Blog Vatican City, May 16, 2015 / 02:17 pm - Speaking to vowed religious, Pope Francis said Christianity must be festive. He praised the special nourishing power of a nun's smile. "The feast is a theological category of life. And you cannot live the consecrated life without this festive dimension. It's a party. But partying is not the same as making noise," he said May 16. This festive dimension to life is "one of the things that we Christians forget," he said, according to Vatican Radio. For Pope Francis, the way to have a party is described in Deuteronomy Chapter 26. The believer brings his "first fruits" in sacrifice to God, thanking him for his kindness. He then goes home and celebrates by sharing his wealth with those who have no family, with neighbors and with slaves. The Pope noted this Bible chapter has a prayer about "the joy of remembering all that God has done for us. " The Pope's remarks were for an audience of vowed religious men and women of the Diocese of Rome on Saturday in Paul VI Hall in Vatican City. "One of the things that you must never, ever miss is a time to hear people! Even in the hours of contemplation, of silence," he told the audience. He noted that some monasteries have voice mail and people call to ask prayers. "This link is important to the world," he said. While monastic religious should leave behind "media chatterers," they should never leave behind knowledge of... --- ### Bulletin May 17, 2015 - Published: 2015-05-17 - Modified: 2015-05-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-17-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Bulletin-May-17-2015. pdf --- ### Motherhood and the Church - Published: 2015-05-11 - Modified: 2015-05-11 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/motherhood-and-the-church/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog In a recent catechesis on "the family", Pope Francis saluted motherhood: Dear Brothers and Sisters, good morning. Today we continue with catecheses on the Church and we will reflect on Mother Church. The Church is mother. Our Holy Mother Church. In these days the Church's liturgy sets before our eyes the icon of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God. The first day of the year is the Feast of the Mother of God, followed by the Epiphany, commemorating the visit of the Magi. The Evangelist Matthew writes: "going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him" (Mt 2:11). It is the Mother who, after giving birth to him, presents the Son to the world. She gives us Jesus, she shows us Jesus, she lets us see Jesus. Let us continue with the catecheses on the family, and in the family there is the mother. Every human person owes his or her life to a mother, and almost always owes much of what follows in life, both human and spiritual formation, to her. Yet, despite being highly lauded from a symbolic point of view many poems, many beautiful things said poetically of her the mother is rarely listened to or helped in daily life, rarely considered central to society in her role. Rather, often the readiness of mothers to make sacrifices for their children is taken advantage of so as to "save" on social spending. It also happens that in Christian... --- ### Bulletin May 10, 2015 - Published: 2015-05-09 - Modified: 2015-05-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-10-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Bulletin-May-10-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin May 3, 2015 - Published: 2015-05-03 - Modified: 2015-05-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-3-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Bulletin-May-3-2015. pdf --- ### Help for Nepal - Published: 2015-05-03 - Modified: 2015-05-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/help-for-nepal/ - Categories: Fr.

Prayer for the People of Nepal Loving God, We pray for all those affected by the earthquake in Nepal as we offer the words of the psalmist, "Be strong and take heart, all who hope in the Lord" (Psalm 31:25). May those who are paralyzed by fear …Be strong and take heart May those who have lost or are still searching for loved ones …Be strong and take heart May those who remain trapped under rubble …Be strong and take heart May those rescue workers who provide relief and recovery …Be strong and take heart May those who are moved with compassion to help …Be strong and take heart God, whose love knows no bounds, fill all those who suffer with your comfort and peace. We ask all this through Christ, our Lord.

These words might well sum up the mystery of the Christian faith. Mercy has become living and visible in Jesus of Nazareth, reaching its culmination in him. The Father, "rich in mercy" (Eph 2:4), after having revealed his name to Moses as "a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness" (Ex 34:6), has never ceased to show, in various ways throughout history, his divine nature. In the "fullness of time" (Gal 4:4), when everything had been arranged according to his plan of salvation, he sent his only Son into the world, born of the Virgin Mary, to reveal his love for us in a definitive way. Whoever sees Jesus sees the Father (cf. Jn 14:9). Jesus of Nazareth, by his words, his actions, and his entire person reveals the mercy of God. We need constantly to contemplate the mystery of mercy. It is a wellspring of joy, serenity, and peace. Our salvation depends on it. Mercy: the word reveals the very mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Mercy: the ultimate and supreme act by which God comes to meet us. Mercy: the fundamental law that dwells in the heart of every person who looks sincerely... --- ### Bulletin April 5, 2015 - Published: 2015-04-05 - Modified: 2015-04-05 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-april-5-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Bulletin-April-5-2015. pdf --- ### Christus Resurrexit, Alleluia! - Published: 2015-04-05 - Modified: 2015-04-05 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/christus-resurrexit-alleluia/ - Categories: Fr.

David's Blog Here is the Good Friday homily delivered today in St. Peter's Basilica by Capuchin Father Raniero Cantalamessa, preacher of the Pontifical Household. * * * We have just heard the account of Jesus' trial before Pilate. There is one point in particular in that account on which we need to pause. Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him. And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and clothed him in a purple robe; they came up to him, saying, "Hail King of the Jews! " and struck him with their hands... . So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Here is the man! " ( Jn 19:1-3, 5) Among the innumerable paintings that have the Ecce Homo as their subject, there is one that has always impressed me. It is by the sixteenth-century Flemish painter, Jan Mostaert. Let me try to describe it. It will help imprint the episode better in our minds, since the artist only transcribes faithfully in paint the facts of the gospel account, especially that of Mark (see Mk 15:16-20). Jesus has a crown of thorns on his head. A sheaf of thorny branches found in the courtyard, perhaps to light a fire, furnished the soldiers an opportunity for this parody of his royalty. Drops of blood run down his face. His mouth is half open, like someone who is having trouble breathing. On his shoulders there is... --- ### Entering Deeply into Holy Week - Published: 2015-04-02 - Modified: 2015-04-02 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/entering-deeply-into-holy-week/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Last October, I went on retreat with a priest-friend of mine down at the Monastery of Our Lady of Beatitude and St. Bruno and the Carthusian Sisters living there (located just outside of Livingston Manor, nestled in Sullivan County, just outside of our own diocese). There appeared to be about two dozen cloistered sistersall filled with a radiant joywho live their lives in near-complete solitude. They live and work in their own individual "cells" (see the picture below, to the right... the little roofs of cells stretching throughout the enclosure), all while praying for so many intentions, including the intentions of retreatants like me. At the end of our week-long retreat, we were happy to hear that there was a sister there, of about 25 years oldSister Lux Brunawho would be taking her final, solemn vows that afternoon. The chapel (as well as the whole community) was indeed ready for such a beautiful occasion! When we left, we promised to continue to pray, in gratitude, for the Sisters and their community. Once Pope Francis proclaimed this to be the Year of Consecrated Life, our parish began to celebrate it with a collection of various items that could be of great use to the Sisters: paper, pens, light bulbs and batteries were our needed items. And, wow, did we respond! With nearly 200 pounds of goods, I called the Sisters last week to ask if I could visit them on Wednesday of Holy Week. A little baffled by my request, they were... --- ### Spy Wednesday - Published: 2015-04-01 - Modified: 2015-04-01 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/spy-wednesday/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog One of the Twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you? " They paid him thirty pieces of silver, and from that time on, he looked for an opportunity to hand him over. I'm not sure whether it is still the case today, but when I was younger, we always referred to the Wednesday of Holy Week as "Spy Wednesday". I believe we appropriated this from today's gospel movement: Judas begins now to seek an opportunity to hand Jesus over. Now that I'm a bit older…just a little bit…I am struck by the banal desire of Judas, his utter disregard for all that he has witnessed in Jesus' 3+ years of public ministry. The word "opportunity" usually signals something positive: "the opportunity to advance at work", "the opportunity to go to a conference", and "the opportunity to make a par" (sorry for the golf image…I'm chomping at the bit! )…all of these are seeking "a good", but not Judas' "opportunity". Does he really see his opportunity as serving a good? On this Spy Wednesday, let us look for an opportunity in our own life to seek to accomplish a real and authentic good; to respond to Judas' situation with a holy movement of our hearts and lives back toward Jesus…the One who is to offer His whole and entire self for our good.

David's Blog "After Judas took the morsel, Satan entered him. " Three very simple words express a most dramatic, foundational shift in the life of the gospels, and even more important, cause an extreme shift in the liveliness of holiness versus evil.   Judas Iscariot can't be still with this reality: in the face of the struggle, Judas must move.   The problem is: Judas moves not toward virtue and holiness, but rather, he runs toward the wickedness of his temptation, toward betrayal.   If only he had finally allowed the life and message of the Lord Jesus to overwhelm his temptation, the story would have been dramatically different. But we know the story all too well, don't we?   It's not just Judas, in the end, who entertains and subsequently succumbs to evil's lure... it's all of us as well.   Why is it that I do the things I dread, while avoiding the things of goodness?   All of this points to the actual lived reality of evil around us.   Yes it is powerful, yes it entices, it attracts.   But we also see how virtue rewards and holiness blesses.   And we are so often torn between the two, aren't we? Within Holy Week, we come face to face with this struggle as it engulfs the Lord Jesus.   Let us pray today, seeking to shun the enticements of evil; let us freely choose, instead, to allow ourselves to be drawn more and more into the embrace of holiness, into the warmth of virtue, into the arms of the One... --- ### Plotting & Scheming - Published: 2015-03-30 - Modified: 2015-03-30 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/plotting-scheming/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog "The large crowd of the Jews found out that he was there and came, not only because of him, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too, because many of the Jews were turning away and believing in Jesus because of him. " The people are amazed, while the 'leaders' plot their wickedness.   The people freely come to Him and receive His presence, while those who are learned remain firm, steadfast in their scheming.   It appears that those who have no 'plan' are surprised--they delight in the presence and ministry of Jesus, while those who are fixed, solid, certain, unbending, unyielding... those are unable to see Jesus and witness His wonders, they remain blind, ignorant, stuck in the sin that keeps them at odds with Him. On this Monday of Holy Week, what might still remain within us that is keeping us from ultimately changing our course: to move away from sin and to fly toward Jesus' presence, His ministry, His love? --- ### Papal Pilgrimage - Published: 2015-03-28 - Modified: 2015-03-28 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/papal-pilgrimage/ - Categories: Fr.

God planned it before all ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age knew this mystery; if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. (1 Cor. 2:7-8) The Second Station Jesus takes up the Cross Jesus emptied Himself and took the form of a slave, being born in the likeness of men. He was known to be of human estate and it was thus that He humbled Himself, obediently accepting even death, death on a Cross!

David's Blog (The following reflection is from Fr. Robert Barron, a most impressive contemporary theologian:) Much of the work of the French philosopher René Girard has centered on the phenomenon of group psychology, especially around the scapegoating mechanism. He says that a kind of community is formed precisely when a variety of people, who would otherwise rather dislike one another, come together in a common hatred of someone else. We can see this, Girard tells us, at all levels, from the most personal to the most collective, from families to nation-states. How often is there a "black sheep" in a family? He or she plays an important role in family stability and identity. What is the only thing that two scholars can agree on? How poor the work of a third scholar is! What is the only thing two musicians can agree upon? How awful another musician's composition is. This dynamic is in effect in one of the most beautifully crafted stories in the New Testament: the woman caught in adultery. The text tells us "They caught her in the very act of adultery. " Where were they situated in order to catch her in the very act? ! The voyeurism and perversion of these men is shocking. They then come en masse, in the terrible enthusiasm of a mob, and they present the case to Jesus. Now what does Jesus do in the face of this violent mob that is seeking release from its tension? First, he bends down and writes on the... --- ### Bishop Maginn High School - Published: 2015-03-25 - Modified: 2015-03-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/bishop-maginn-high-school/ - Categories: Fr.

David's Blog About ten years ago, when I was vocation director for priestly formation in our diocese, I can recall the committee-wide process of writing a kind of handbook for seminarians.   The goal was to inform and encourage young men aspiring to ordained priesthood concerning one's overall formation in areas of human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral growth and development.   One of the sub-committees was tasked with outlining certain gifts, talents and "virtues" associated with overall development.   In the course of discussions, I had proposed the value of docility, especially in spiritual formation, but also valuable in the overall movement of formation.   Little did I know that this word or stance immediately caused derision among some of my colleagues.   They were very concerned that I was proposing a kind of weakness, a stance of helpless abandon and, ultimately, a dry and lifeless irresponsibility for one to work at the process of formation.   On the contrary, I was proposing quite the opposite. After heated discussion, I can remember citing certain postures in Sacred Scripture, two to be exact: Saint Paul's second letter to the Corinthians, "... my grace is sufficient for you, for in weakness power reaches perfection. So I willingly boast of my weaknesses that the power of Christ may rest upon me; for when I am weak, it is then that I am strong. "  Here we are, among other things, encouraged to submit our lowliness to the Lord who raises us up in Himself; second, from today's gospel passage on this Feast of the... --- ### Repetition & Instruction, Followed by Belief? - Published: 2015-03-24 - Modified: 2015-03-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/repetition-instruction-followed-by-belief/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Recall how Yahweh revealed himself to his people as "I AM".   And when they sinned against God (our first reading of today's Liturgy of the Word), he revealed his saving mercy and grace in one "mounted on a pole".   And in our Gospel, Jesus reveals himself again, not once, but twice, as "I AM".   Yet, those who hear his words, fail to recognize Jesus as God.   It appears so clearly to us, yet those who were with him, just failed--or refused--to see and believe, and so they remained in their sins. Throughout this waning Lenten Season, I have heard hundreds of confessions, and I've celebrated nearly as many sacrifices of Mass.   We have heard time and time again, over and over, how God invites his people into his love, how he forgives the sins of those with repentant hearts, how he freely offers the gift of mercy in order for each of us to return to his love.   From this repetition, from this ongoing instruction, are we really convinced of this?   Do we truly believe that Jesus' offering in sacrifice really saves and sets us free?   If we do not, we remain in our sins; if we do believe, then our only authentic, meaningful response can be to "follow him". --- ### Chamber Ensemble for Lent - Published: 2015-03-23 - Modified: 2015-03-23 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/chamber-ensemble-for-lent/ - Categories: Fr.

David's Blog The first reading of today's Liturgy of the Word of the Mass--from the Book of the Prophet Daniel--introduces the characters of Susanna, and later of Daniel.   Even in his youth, he exercises a sincere protection for the virtue of honesty, of seeing and judging with wisdom the elements of reality when they are held up to Truth.   Blessed Susanna is saved by such wisdom, and those who shame it, walk in peril. For so many of us, honesty is cherished only when it serves our desires and we can be often tempted to subvert it for our own interests (who of us can admit that we are not that  dissimilar to the two elder judges? ).   Yet, if we consider how Our Lord served honesty and Truth, He proclaimed, "I am He, the One speaking with you"... to the detriment of his physical safety and the longevity of his human life.   The honesty of the Lord allowed Him to judge things aright, and ultimately, to offer his life as a ransom for ours, in order to uphold what is truly Right and Good.   In all honesty, then, we can see how every one of us really did need--and continues to need--the offering Christ gave of himself on Calvary. One way we might honor the Lord's Paschal Mystery, is to cherish honesty in our own day, to serve this supreme good, and walk the path that follows the Lord to eternal life. --- ### Bulletin March 22, 2015 - Published: 2015-03-20 - Modified: 2015-03-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-22-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Bulletin-March-22-2015. pdf --- ### Embracing & Letting Go - Published: 2015-03-20 - Modified: 2015-03-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/embracing-letting-go/ - Categories: Fr.

The grip: its intensity can either smother or it can offer protective care. Transfer this image to the way you treat objects as ‘goods'. Consider how you might cling tightly to things and people that are not actually good for you. Learn to let go of a dysfunctional relationship, of a position in a toxic work environment, of a career that doesn't bring satisfaction, of unhappiness, of being in control. In this, and in so many other ways, you can begin to allow your grip to cling healthily to the Lord Jesus, who constantly invites us to take Hid hand into our own and be led to freedom, wholeness, and the fullness of life in Him. --- ### Compliment Beauty - Published: 2015-03-18 - Modified: 2015-03-18 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/compliment-beauty/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog In just a few short months, I'll be leading a group of fifty pilgrims to Italy. One of our resting points will be Rome and the Vatican. There, I hope to expose our pilgrims to the various rewarding aspects of our overall journey, including faith, culture and, of course, art. One of my favorite destinations in the city is the Galleria Borghese, where masterpieces of talent and faith are literally at our fingertipsone such piece being Bernini's "Daphne & Chloe" (seen here... with little fragile leaves growing form her fingertips and toes... paper-thin stone). Whenever I view it, I wish I could stand with Bernini and simply thank him, reward him for his great work…one of so many throughout the Eternal City. For some people, it is hard to give a compliment. Why? Perhaps it's because they feel they are leaving a bit of themselves behind (i. e. when complimenting a success they risk themselves in showing appreciation, in identifying another as contributing something to themselves that they couldn't have possessed without it being offered by the other). For others, giving a compliment is too costly, simply because it reveals a kind of felt need for the gifts of others to be offered to themselves. Today, it might serve us to consider the gifts that others are offering to us. These offered gifts enrich us somehow, encourage to seek "beauty", "righteousness", and even "the Good". Those gifts are real blessings to us. . we know it…and now, we acknowledge them as such, and compliment, bless... --- ### Forgive As You Are Forgiven - Published: 2015-03-17 - Modified: 2015-03-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/forgive-as-you-are-forgiven/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Last evening, forty-three of our 2nd graders celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the very first time.   They experienced the Lord's never-ending mercy and love, which they receive at no cost to themselves.   Yes, we are forgiven freely by God once we are able to seek such a reconciliation. Oftentimes, the sins of others can hurt us deeply and most painfully.   Yet, if we acknowledge how God forgives us freely and readily, and further, if we keep in mind the truth that Christ's whole offering of Himself was for just this exact purpose--our freedom from sin and death--then how much more might we be ready to freely offer forgiveness to those who hurt or offend us? Today, consider someone who has hurt you deeply... pray to the Lord for courage and for conviction... and then forgive them as you have been forgiven: freely, fully, and with great love and mercy. --- ### Biblical Prayer - Published: 2015-03-16 - Modified: 2015-03-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/biblical-prayer/ - Categories: Fr.

David's Blog STATEMENT ON RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS March 10, 2015 Upon learning of the death of 21 Coptic Christians at the hands of ISIL terrorists, Pope Francis called their murder a "testimony which cries out to be heard. " On behalf of America's Catholic Bishops, we pause to listen and invite people of all faiths to join us in prayer for those facing the stark reality of religious persecution in the Middle East and elsewhere. The testimony of those 21 brave and courageous martyrs does not stand alone as thousands of families Christian and other religions find themselves fleeing from horrific violence. We urge all people of goodwill to work toward protections of the marginalized and persecuted. In union with the local Churches and the Holy See, we call upon our nation to: work with the international community to intervene and protect the rights of religious minorities and civilians within the framework of international and humanitarian law; address political and economic exclusion that are exploited by extremists; and increase humanitarian and development assistance. Lent is a season to meditate upon the Cross and unite ourselves even more closely with Christ's suffering. Let us use this season to unite with our suffering brothers and sisters and pray for them and with them in a special way. With hope, let us pray for the day when we can all share in the joy and lasting peace of Christ's resurrection. --- ### Marriage & Family Life Survey - Published: 2015-03-11 - Modified: 2015-03-11 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/marriage-family-life-survey/ - Categories: Fr.

David's Blog We profess that Jesus is the righteousness of God; in other words, he is the restoration of relationship between God and humanity.   All of us know how powerful that is when we consider relationships in our lives that have been strained or even broken.   There is an inner ache that won't subside.   And because Jesus is Righteousness, he therefore reveals to us the plan of God that we be truly reconciled with one another, that such strains and breaks be repaired and restored.   So, the task for us?   Reconcile with someone.

David's Blog Think back upon this last week: were you the recipient of someone's act of kindness?   Maybe someone held a door open for you, or shoveled a bit of a sidewalk for pedestrians.   For my part, I was the second car in a middle turn lane and wondered why the first car was taking so long to make the left turn before me... only to discover that he was allowing another car to attempt a left turn out of the parking lot before us.   Sure it took some extra time, but the kindness really mattered. Now, as you recall that kindness, how do you feel as you let it sink in?   Hopefully your gratitude then rolls over into a desire to be personally generous in sharing your own act of kindness with another or others.   The Lord rewards a generous giver! --- ### Embrace a Virtue - Published: 2015-03-04 - Modified: 2015-03-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/embrace-virtue/ - Categories: Fr.

For example, 5:00am prayers, 7:00am Mass, 9:30am finance meeting, 11:00am homebound visit, 12:10pm Mass, and 7:00pm meeting. Maybe your schedule is similar…maybe even more packed! And if you are guided by this kind of schedule, it might prove helpful to schedule "a meeting with virtue" within which you schedule an opportunity to do some act for the sole benefit of pleasing God. Maybe you go out of your way to take a break with a co-worker who is not so friendly, or maybe new to the office and doesn't have many acquaintances as of yet. Maybe you take a quick trip to the grocery store and then immediately deliver some canned goods to CoNSERNS-U or any other food pantry. Perhaps you stop by a church and offer prayers for another who may be suffering…or for peace so desperately needed throughout our world. Maybe you call a shut-in or homebound person and offer an errand or two for them. No matter what, scheduling such a time for goodness and Godliness is well-served. Our prayer might be: "Lord, as your mercies do surround us, let this day manifest our gratitude by doing something well-pleasing to you.

David's Blog One of the "little mysteries", or simple rites, that can be celebrated during baptism is the Ephphatha Rite (or "Be opened! "). As the minister touches the ears and mouth of the one being baptized, he says, "The Lord Jesus made the deaf hear and the dumb speak. May he soon touch your ears to receive his word, and your mouth to proclaim his faith, to the praise and glory of God the Father. " And so our ears are made for receiving the Word of God, and our mouths are meant to proclaim God's praise and glory from the implanted gift of faith. Many people suffer from the attraction to gossip. Whether simply hearing it or sharing it, gossip eats away at the reputation of another. Yet every human person has the established right to their good reputation, no matter what. And so, whether you are tempted toward calumny (the spreading of lies which degrade another) or toward detraction (the spreading of truths which, although true, still destroy the good reputation of another), remember that your mouth was made for a holy purpose, and ears were made similarly to hear Goodness. Recall the maxim: if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all. Recall this simple reflection throughout Lent…and I pray that the Lord will again touch your ears and your mouth, that God will be the wondrous workings of your body! --- ### Comfort - Published: 2015-02-24 - Modified: 2015-02-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/comfort/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog From the prophet Isaiah, "Comfort, give comfort to my people" (Is 40:1).   We all know someone who is suffering from a loss due to death, divorce, separation, disability, layoff.   Bringing the gift of your presence can bring comfort to one who is grieving: visit with them, offer a listening ear and some gentle words of encouragement, support and kindness.   Not only will that bring comfort to the one who is grieving, but it will also swell the giver's soul with gifts of joy and compassion. --- ### Suspend Judging Others - Published: 2015-02-23 - Modified: 2015-02-23 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/suspend-judging-others-2/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog So often, we are expected to make judgments: about an issue; concerning a decision; considering options.   But, too often, we fall into the trap of judging persons as good or evil.   Recall how hod God made humankind and saw His creation to be "very good".   Indeed every human person is made in God's image, therefore, each one deserves to be reverenced as "of God".   Each human person, therefore, is an instance of God's perfection and love.   Instead of judging another, seek to discern what makes him or her beautiful in God's eyes.   It may be tough work, but when accomplished, it gives each of us yet another opportunity to praise our generous God for giving us yet another instance of His presence among us. --- ### Bulletin February 22 2015 - Published: 2015-02-22 - Modified: 2015-02-22 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-22-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Bulletin-February-22-2015. pdf   --- ### A Wonderful Episcopal Visit! - Published: 2015-02-22 - Modified: 2015-02-22 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/wonderful-episcopal-visit/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog I just sent the following note to all 175 of our parishioners who are involved in any of our liturgical ministries following Bishop Edward Scharfenberger's visit to our 8:30 Sunday morning liturgy on February 22nd, the First Sunday of Lent:   Dear liturgical ministers, First of all, let me thank you for the ministry you share so wonderfully with our parish, with the Church, and with God Himself.   Every time we gather in Clinton Heights for Mass, you know already how we take our place and join with the one heavenly liturgy that is constantly adoring and worshiping God.   And each time our community worships, I am so very pleased to preside and help lead us to a holy service. This morning's 8:30am Mass was definitely no different, yet with very short notice that Bishop Scharfenberger was coming to preside!   You might have noticed that throughout our prayer, Bishop Scharfenberger was taking us all in, and was so very pleased to be with us and shepherd us throughout.   Afterward, I took him over to our rectory and whipped up a tidy (yet fattening) little breakfast and we spoke at length about many things.   But the first thing he commented on were the various ministries and ministers.   He watched while our hospitality ministers ushered folks in from the cold with sincere welcome and care; how our numerous altar servers looked so comfortable yet reverent in their service; how our sacred scriptures were proclaimed clearly and with thought; how our music was uplifting and deep; how our Extraordinary... --- ### SURPRISE: Episcopal Visit! - Published: 2015-02-21 - Modified: 2015-02-21 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/surprise-episcopal-visit/ - Categories: Fr.

" Moreover, such a stance allows us to seek reconciliation with others, rather than keep them at bay and isolated, lost, drifting.   When we take the energy and effort of judgment and transform it into authentic love, there we will witness true charity to toward 'the other' as 'another'. --- ### Quiet & Stillness - Published: 2015-02-19 - Modified: 2015-02-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/quiet-stillness/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Every time the Lord Jesus was to enter more deeply into His saving mission, he went off to a quite place where he could be still and know the closeness of his Father.   May we take some time and give some effort to being quiet and still with God today.   Maybe it means we'll start the car on this very chilly day and then let it idle into warmth as we simply sit, rest, and are stilled.   If you reach out to the Lord in some way such as this, know that you're longing and reaching out to God, only because God is first longing and reaching out to you. --- ### "The Gift of Tears" - Published: 2015-02-18 - Modified: 2016-04-14 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/gift-tears/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Each Ash Wednesday, the Holy Father follows his annual Lenten Message with a homily at Santa Sabina in Rome.   This year, Pope Francis delivered this moving message for us: As God's people, today we begin the journey of Lent, a time in which we try to unite ourselves more closely to the Lord Jesus Christ, to share the mystery of His passion and resurrection. The Ash Wednesday liturgy offers us, first of all, the passage from the prophet Joel, sent by God to call the people to repentance and conversion, due to a calamity (an invasion of locusts) that devastates Judea. Only the Lord can save from the scourge, and so there is need of supplication, with prayer and fasting, each confessing his sin. The prophet insists on inner conversion: "Return to me with all your heart" (2:12). To return to the Lord "with all heart," means taking the path of a conversion that is neither superficial nor transient, but is a spiritual journey that reaches the deepest place of our self. The heart, in fact, is the seat of our sentiments, the center in which our decisions and our attitudes mature. That, "Return to me with all your heart," does not involve only individuals, but extends to the community, is a summons addressed to all: "Gather the people. Sanctify the congregation; assemble the elders; gather the children, even nursing infants. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber. (2:16)" The prophet dwells particularly on the... --- ### LENT: repent, reflect, renew - Published: 2015-02-18 - Modified: 2015-02-18 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/lent-repent-reflect-renew/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog "If you wish, you can make me clean. " With these words from this past Sunday's Liturgy of the Word, an ostracized leper pleads with the Lord Jesus. First and foremost, the leper admits that he needs to be made clean, that he is, in fact, "unclean". He admits of his broken state. Once he is able to state this real truth, only then can he ask the Lord to work His miracle of healing and restoration. "I do will it. Be made clean. " And with these words, the Lord frees the man and restores him to health and wholeness. What is Jesus' clear will? That the one who is in need has his need met with compassion. As we begin this Lenten Season, we do so by accepting the imposition of ashes upon our heads. Within this ‘little mystery' is a depth of significance. "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return" recalls our lowliness, reminds us of our sinful tendencies, of our primordial banal desire to overthrow God as the Lord, and replace Him with our own selves. But by accepting these ashes, welike the leperare first and foremost aware of our sin, and we declare before God and all of the Church, that we are sinful. And from our sin, we reach out in faith to the Lord Jesus as our Savior. Only He can bring healing; only He can restore us to dignity; only Christ can redeem us from our fallen state.

David's Blog Today Pope Francis is closing the consistory during which time he elevated 20 new Cardinals.   From today's Liturgy of the Word, he shared these very valuable and stirring reflections: "Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean"… Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out his hand and touched him, and said: "I do choose. Be made clean! " (Mk 1:40-41). The compassion of Jesus! That com-passion which made him draw near to every person in pain! Jesus does not hold back; instead, he gets involved in people's pain and their need… for the simple reason that he knows and wants to show com-passion, because he has a heart unashamed to have "compassion". "Jesus could no longer go into a town openly, but stayed in the country; and people came to him from every quarter" (Mk 1:45). This means that Jesus not only healed the leper but also took upon himself the marginalization enjoined by the law of Moses (cf. Lev 13:1-2, 45-46). Jesus is unafraid to risk sharing in the suffering of others; he pays the price of it in full (cf. Is 53:4). Compassion leads Jesus to concrete action: he reinstates the marginalized! These are the three key concepts that the Church proposes in today's liturgy of the word: the compassion of Jesus in the face of marginalization and his desire to reinstate. Marginalization: Moses, in his legislation regarding lepers, says that they are to be kept alone and apart from the community for the duration of... --- ### Bulletin February 15 2015 - Published: 2015-02-15 - Modified: 2015-02-15 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-15-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Bulletin-February-15-2015. pdf   --- ### Bulletin February 8 2015 - Published: 2015-02-08 - Modified: 2015-02-08 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/bulletin-february-8-2015/ - Categories: Parish Content To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Bulletin-February-8-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin February 1 2015 - Published: 2015-02-01 - Modified: 2015-02-01 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-1-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Bulletin-February-1-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin January 25 2015 - Published: 2015-01-24 - Modified: 2015-01-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-25-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Bulletin-January-25-2015. pdf --- ### Bulletin January 18 2015 - Published: 2015-01-20 - Modified: 2015-01-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-18-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Bulletin-January-18-2015. pdf --- ### Pope Francis to Families - Published: 2015-01-19 - Modified: 2015-01-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/pope-francis-families/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog On Friday, January 16, Pope Francis spoke on the beauty of the Family while in Manila.   His text--with off-the-cuff additions--follows: Dear Families, Dear Friends in Christ, I am grateful for your presence here this evening and for the witness of your love for Jesus and his Church. I thank Bishop Reyes, Chairman of the Bishops' Commission on Family and Life, for his words of welcome on your behalf. And, in a special way, I thank those who have presented testimonies and have shared their life of faith with us. The Scriptures seldom speak of Saint Joseph, but when they do, we often find him resting, as an angel reveals God's will to him in his dreams. In the Gospel passage we have just heard, we find Joseph resting not once, but twice. This evening I would like to rest in the Lord with all of you, and to reflect with you on the gift of the family. It is important to dream in the family. All mothers and fathers dream of their sons and daughters in the womb for 9 months. They dream of how they will be. It isn't possible to have a family without such dreams. When you lose this capacity to dream you lose the capacity to love, the capacity to love is lost. I recommend that at night when you examine your consciences, ask yourself if you dreamed of the future of your sons and daughters. Did you dream of your husband or wife? Did you... --- ### Bulletin January 11 2015 - Published: 2015-01-12 - Modified: 2015-01-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-11-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Bulletin-January-11-2015. pdf --- ### 2014 - Lights In The Park - Published: 2015-01-04 - Modified: 2015-01-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/2014-lights-park/ - Categories: Photo Gallery --- ### Bulletin January 4, 2015 - Published: 2015-01-04 - Modified: 2015-01-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-4-2015/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Bulletin-January-4-2015. pdf   --- ### Bulletin December 28, 2014 - Published: 2014-12-26 - Modified: 2014-12-26 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-december-28-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Bulletin-December-28-2014. pdf   --- ### A Prayer at Christmas - Published: 2014-12-24 - Modified: 2014-12-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/prayer-christmas/ - Categories: Fr.

We may try to shield one another from the grief we bear but we cannot hide it from you... We pray for (names) whose presence we miss so much in these days of peace and joy... Open our hearts and minds to the healing, the warmth, the light of your presence... We pray, Lord, and we trust that those we miss have found the place you prepared for them, their home, within your heart... Open our hearts, Lord, to joyful memories of the love we shared with those who've gone before us... Help us tell the stories that make the past present and bring us close again to those we miss... Teach us to lean on you, Lord, and on each other, for the strength we need to walk through these difficult days... Be with us as we sing and cry our way through Christmas cards and carols; help us find and open the present you bring: the gift of your peace in the birth of the child Jesus... And give us quiet moments with you, Lord, and with our thoughts, our memories and our prayers... Be with us, Lord, and hold us in your arms even as you now hold those who've gone before us...

It is not just about commemorating the historical event, which occurred some 2,000 years ago in a little village of Judea. Instead, we must understand that our whole life should be an 'advent', in vigilant expectation of the Christ's final coming.

David's Blog The Exaltation of the Holy Cross (September 14, 2014) The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross commemorates the victory that Our Lord accomplished through his death and resurrection. The cross is a mark of great suffering and humiliation, but it is a horrific symbol which we adore because through it we have come to know the great love that Jesus has for us, and through the wounds that it inflicted, we have been healed. The Cross of Jesus Christ was found in the fourth century by St. Helena, the mother of the Emperor Constantine. According to the legend, a goodly Jew named Judah was the only person who knew of the location of the cross. Under pressure from St. Helena, he revealed that it had been buried under the temple of Venus which had been built by Emperor Hadrian at Golgotha. As she found three crosses buried at the site, it seemed impossible to determine which one was the cross of Christ. Just then a funeral procession was passing by the place, and Helen had all three of the crosses brought to the side of the dead body. When the third cross was placed upon the dead man, he rose to life, confirming that this was indeed the life-giving cross of Jesus. There are probably hundreds of legends and stories that are attached to the finding and veneration of the cross (each with a hundred variations), and all of them seek to remind us of how dearly we... --- ### Masterpieces of God's Creation - Published: 2014-09-09 - Modified: 2014-09-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/masterpieces-gods-creation/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Each of Us is a Masterpiece of God's Creation Imagine yourself pausing in front of a design of great beauty. Your soul quiets and is filled with wonder and awe. If art, created by man, can evoke such a response within us, how much more is the same wonder, reverence and respect due to each person we encounter, who was handcrafted by the very God who spoke the world into being? Now think of an artist stepping back from a great work of art and admiring his or her creation. When God created each of us, He did so with precision and purpose, and He looks on each of us with love that cannot be outdone in intensity or tenderness. Moreover, the Lord invites each of us to behold ourselves and each other with the same wonder and awe. No matter how the world might view us or others, let us treat each person as the masterpiece that he or she is. "Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God's creation, made in His own image, destined to live forever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.

David's Blog Bishop Pates Asks Bishops, Parishes to Offer Special Prayer on August 17 for Peace in Iraq August 7, 2014 WASHINGTONThe chairman of the Committee of International Justice and Peace of the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) asked the U. S. bishops to invite the people of their dioceses to pray for peace in Iraq on Sunday, August 17. Bishop Richard E. Pates of Des Moines, Iowa, made the request, August 6, sending the bishops the text of a prayer written by the Chaldean Catholic Patriarch of Iraq, His Beatitude Louis Rafael Sako. Bishop Pates recounted the struggles of Christians and others in Iraq who have faced the destruction, burning and looting of churches, homes and businesses and, under threat of the Islamic State (ISIS) to join their extremist brand of Islam, have fled for their lives. Accordingly, he urged Catholics to let their elected representatives know of their concern that humanitarian assistance reach Christian and other religious minorities who are suffering in Iraq, Syria and other countries. Bishop Pates also noted Pope Francis' calls for peace in Iraq and his observation that "violence generates more violence; dialogue is the only path to peace.

May I suggest that each of us make some prayer or act of peace today at 1pm? Maybe take time to pray the following program from your own heart that yearns for stable and lasting peace; maybe do an Act of Peace by seeking forgiveness from someone you have wronged or offer true forgiveness to someone who has wronged you, even if they do not ask for it or accept it. The true peace, first founded in the Lord Jesus Christ, begins in us as we begin to foster and build it in our own day, our own lives, our own word.

David's Blog This week, on the 8th hole at Wolferts Roost, my golf partnerDave McGuirehad a long 15 ft. putt for birdie. As luck would have it, the ball approached and then lipped right out at the very end, teasing around the cup a bit. Dave exclaimed, "Why is it when the pros do it, it always goes in? ! " to which I replied, "Dave, you're not even an amateur! " As I watch the pros play, like 21-year old Jordan Spieth, I want to be able to play like them. I want to know his practice routines, what does he do to prepare for a tournament, what does he avoid eating on the course, what's he think between holes or while he's walking any given fairway, how he imagines a long putt and then sinks it. My reason: I want to be able to play like him and get the same results. It makes sense, doesn't it? If I imitate his play, I can imitate his results. In fact, I can recall being in seminary as a young seminarian just starting out and my classmates and I would listen to the older men just ready to be ordained. We wanted to hear them give us their wisdom; give us their insights, to help us along our own way. During those years of seminary, I can remember continually asking my spiritual director how I was supposed to pray to get the best effect, how I should examine my conscience for the best spiritual benefit,... --- ### Bulletin June 1 2014 - Published: 2014-05-31 - Modified: 2014-05-31 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-june-1-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Bulletin_June_1_2014. pdf --- ### Bulletin May 25 2014 - Published: 2014-05-25 - Modified: 2014-05-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-25-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Bulletin_May_25_2014. pdf --- ### Gossip & the Destructive Nature of Calumny and Detraction - Published: 2014-05-20 - Modified: 2014-05-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/gossip-destructive-nature-calumny-detraction/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog It is possible to injure another's good name either by telling lies about that person or by revealing hidden faults which should not be revealed. One of the main reasons why lies are forbidden by the Eighth Commandment is that they destroy community and healthy social relationships.   Since man is a social being he absolutely needs human society in order to grow to full maturity as a man.   Consequently, whatever militates against human community is contrary to man's nature, contrary to the will of God and therefore forbidden by God. Obviously, there are different kinds of lies.   "Lies of convenience", that is, lies told in order to extricate oneself from an embarrassing situation, normally do not damage the reputation of another.   If successful, they are known only in the depths of the conscience of the one who told them.   There are different kinds of statements that injure the reputation of another. It is possible to injure another's good name either by telling lies about that person or by revealing hidden faults which should not be revealed.   To tell lies about another person is called calumny or slander.   To reveal the hidden faults or sins of another without sufficient cause, in such wise that the person's reputation or good name is seriously damaged, is called the sin of detraction.   Many people find it hard to remember the exact meaning of each of these words.   Years ago one of my grade school teachers, a Franciscan nun, told me that the way to... --- ### Bulletin May 18 2014 - Published: 2014-05-16 - Modified: 2014-05-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-18-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Bulletin_May_18_2014. pdf --- ### Bulletin May 11 2014 - Published: 2014-05-10 - Modified: 2014-05-10 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-11-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Bulletin_May_11_2014. pdf --- ### May Crowning 2014 - Published: 2014-05-09 - Modified: 2014-05-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/may-crowning-2014/ - Categories: Photo Gallery --- ### Bulletin May 4 2014 - Published: 2014-05-04 - Modified: 2014-05-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-4-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Bulletin_May_4_2014. pdf --- ### Living Stations of the Cross 2014 - Published: 2014-04-27 - Modified: 2014-04-27 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/living-stations-cross-2014/ - Categories: Photo Gallery --- ### Bulletin April 27 2014 - Published: 2014-04-26 - Modified: 2014-04-26 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-april-27-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Bulletin_April_27_2014. pdf --- ### Photos from RCIA of Easter Vigil - Published: 2014-04-22 - Modified: 2014-04-22 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/photos-rcia-easter-vigil/ - Categories: Photo Gallery --- ### Bulletin April 20 2014 - Published: 2014-04-19 - Modified: 2014-04-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-april-20-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here.

David's Blog Each Good Friday brings me to a very low state, maybe like many of you who havewith mejust commemorated the Lord's passion.   I can recall, growing up as a young boy of the ‘LeFort clan', my family of six would be at all of the services of the Triduum.   And each Good Friday, I looked forward to afternoon stations, but never to the evening commemoration.   Someone this past weekend reminded me of why I didn't like the passion.   After Palm Sunday Mass, and the recitation of the Passion, a man came out and said, "why does the priest always get the best part? "  I smiled, not sure what exactly was the best part: was it being betrayed? …maybe the scourging?   …surely, he didn't mean the crucifixion?   No, what he meant was the people always get the worst part because they have to yell, "Crucify him! "  Yep, that's exactly what always made me so uncomfortable on Good Friday. But as difficult as it is, as awkward or as painful as it might be, it really does us well to reflect on the power of sin and the necessary antidote of mercy.   While there are so many characters from the story of the Passion, could we look at Judas and examine him for just a few moments? First, I want to examine Judas because none of us wants to be him, to play him, to be associated with him.   He's the bad one, we want to play the good ones.   But wait,... --- ### Francis' Way of the Cross - Published: 2014-04-15 - Modified: 2014-04-15 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/francis-way-cross/ - Categories: Fr.

E. Msgr. Giancarlo Maria Bregantini, Archbishop of Campobasso-Boiano INTRODUCTION He who saw this has testified so that you also may believe. His testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth. These things occurred so that the Scripture might be fulfilled: "None of his bones shall be broken". And again another passage of Scripture says: "They will look on the one whom they have pierced" (Jn 19:35-37). Loving Jesus, you went up to Golgotha without hesitation, in utter love, and let yourself be crucified without complaint. Lowly Son of Mary, you shouldered the burden of our night to show us the immense light with which you wanted to fill our hearts. In your suffering is our redemption; in your tears we see "the hour" when God's gracious love is revealed. In your final breath, as a man among men, you lead us back, seven times forgiven, to the heart of the Father, and you show us, in your last words, the path to the redemption of all our sorrows. You, the Incarnate All, empty yourself on the cross, understood only by her, your Mother, who stood faithfully beneath that gibbet.

Multi-Talented Bishop-Elect Scharfenberger Posted on 02 April 2014. by Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio My dear brothers and sisters in the Lord, With joy, and yet some regret for the loss to the Diocese of Brooklyn, I write today regarding the nomination of Msgr. Edward Scharfenberger as the 10th Bishop of Albany and am pleased to offer some reflections on his life and ministry in Brooklyn and Queens. The Diocese of Albany is key to the work of the New York State Catholic Conference, which is located in Albany, as it has direct contact with our Governor and State Legislature. Msgr. Scharfenberger is uniquely fitted for this position in his Episcopal ministry given the importance of the public policy issues which we are confronted with daily as the Bishops of the Province of New York. There are many other qualities that Bishop-elect Scharfenberger will bring to his Episcopal ministry. As both a canon lawyer and civil lawyer, he can be truly judicious in making decisions and circumspect in passing judgment, which are overall qualities that are necessary in the Episcopacy today. Never fast to decide, however, once a decision is made, he carries it out. This is also a wonderful gift in administration today. Snap decisions usually are regretted at a later date. Bishop-elect Scharfenberger, fortunately, does not have that characteristic. Over the years since his Ordination to the Priesthood... --- ### Episcopal Ordination & Installation - Published: 2014-04-08 - Modified: 2014-04-08 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/episcopal-ordination-installation/ - Categories: Fr.

David's Blog Each one of usno matter what our religious traditionhas heard of these eight sayings of Jesus known as "the Beatitudes".   Wherever and whenever they've been heard, these words of Jesus have proved fascinating, disorienting, deeply transformative, sometimes even confounding and disturbing…but always unforgettable. On the Mount of Beatitudes, Jesus gives His great programmatic sermon, laying out a new mode of life…a new law so to speak…and one of happiness or "beatitudo". How do we relate joy to the Law?   Freedom doesn't mean do what I want or be self-determining, instead, we have a freedom for excellence by disciplining our desire. So what's he saying here?   The rules that will place within our bodies minds spirit the capacity for joy…of beatitudo.   Let's explore them…there are 4 positive formulations: "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy" mercy or tender compassion is God's most distinctive attribute.   God is love and so we ourselves are invited to become love itself by sharing mercy so that the divine life increases in us. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God" you'll be happy when there is no ambiguity in your heart about what is most important.   What is a saint someone whose life is about one thing…they're ordered toward pleasing God alone…they are pure in their drive and desire…unadulterated, undistracted.

David's Blog Over the last several weeks, we've been hearing from the Sermon on the Mount, you remember: when Jesus preaches the beatitudes, like: blessed are the merciful; blessed are the pure of heart, blessed are those who seek righteousness, and those who are peacemakers.   We've been hearing where blessedness can come from when we accept God's grace. And in today's first reading, we hear the exact opposite: we hear of the origin of sinfrom the very generosity of God in giving life and blessing to Adam and Eve, what do they do in response?   In the face of temptation, they sinned.   Yes, the devil (or serpent) was cunning, inflating God's command, "Did God really tell you not to eat from ANY of the tress…? "  And from that inflation, the sin is compounded when Eve responds, "You shall not eat it OR EVEN TOUCH IT, LEST YOU DIE. '"  Funny, God said no such thing.   So, in the face of temptation, Eve…and Adam, fall.   And bring sin upon all of us by inheritance. So, what might we take from this during the Lenten Season?   I would suggest three things. First, temptation is not a sin.  Christ himselfwho is the Son of God and has no sin whatsoeversuffers temptations (as we heard in today's gospel).   He was invited to disobey God's will, not once, but three separate and distinct times.   As His followers, then, we should expect nothing less.   We too will experience temptation, but know that when we battle temptations, when we fight... --- ### Bulletin March 9 2014 - Published: 2014-03-09 - Modified: 2014-03-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-9-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. 2014 Lenten Retreat Insert http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Bulletin_March_9_2014. pdf http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/2014_Lenten_Retreat_Insert. pdf --- ### Parade through the Bible - Published: 2014-03-05 - Modified: 2014-03-05 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/parade-bible/ - Categories: Photo Gallery Sunday, March 2 --- ### Idolatries that Impede Vocations - Published: 2014-03-03 - Modified: 2014-03-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/idolatries-impede-vocations/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog This was released earlier today by the Zenit News Agency: Pope Francis Calls for Prayer for Vocations Reflects on Idolatries that Impede Young People from Answering Call to Follow Christ VATICAN CITY, March 03, 2014 (Zenit. org) - During morning Mass at Casa Santa Marta, Pope Francis called on the faithful to pray for vocations free from the idolatries of this world. The Holy Father based his homily on today's Gospel from St. Mark, which recalled the meeting between Jesus and the rich young man. "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? " the young man asks Christ. The Pope noted that although the young man was good man who observed the commandments, he wanted more. "The Holy Spirit urged him," the Pope said. The Gospel recounts that Jesus told him to sell his goods, give the money to the poor and follow him. Upon hearing this, the rich young man went away sad. "His heart was restless, because of the Holy Spirit that urged him to come closer to Jesus and follow him, it was a full heart, and he did not have the courage to empty it," the Pope explained.

David's Blog At Siena College this week, my students were intrigued by the Paschal Mystery and the idea of Jesus suffering; that, if Jesus is God, why is he afraid?   In the end, I explained two issues: first, his sorrow stems from the fact that he is abandoned, he is alone, he is isolated even from God; and second, that this isolation really cannot be, can it?   God IS a relationship of love, that cannot exclude, cannot isolate, cannot abandon.   And so, the sorrow and fear of Jesus, really cannot be, cannot ever exist when it comes to you and me: we can never, ever be abandoned, alone, or isolated from God and his love. Clearly, the prophet Isaiah reminds us, God cannot forsake us, forget us, withhold his care from us.   Apparently, even in the darkest of circumstanceswhen we're in the most dire needGod can never forsake us.   Does this mean that life will be easier for us, that somehow we'll be spared trials and suffering?   No, for as long as we live in this world, the things of this world can always threaten and harm us. Recall our gospel, where two images are set against each other: God and mammon.   Many translations have equated mammon with money, but actually it is more than money: it's all the stuff that can be acquired with money.   When I was younger (and much more idealistic and somewhat scrupulous) I used to think I was fine in this regard since I didn't have much... --- ### Bulletin March 2 2014 - Published: 2014-03-02 - Modified: 2014-03-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-2-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here.

David's Blog In our first reading, the Lord commands, "Be holy, for I, the Lord, your God, am holy. "  And then we hear how challenging and nearly-impossible the demands of holiness really are: we must go through life without revenge, without hatred…essentially, without sin.   And we only have to look at a day in our life and see that to live without sin is very challenging indeed.   Still, God commands us to be holy. And Jesus helps us to see how holiness really is a blessing for us; let's take a closer look at our gospel.   Now, in order to really appreciate the implications of Jesus' words, we have to remember that He is speaking in ancient Palestine, where society was extremely shame-based.   The goal was to avoid being ashamed at all costs. And Jesus says, "When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one as well. "  A strike on the right cheek involved either a backhanded slap from a right-handed person, or an open slap from a left-handed person.   Since the left hand was used for hygiene and would've been terribly offensive in that regard, we can imagine that the implication is a backhanded slap.   But because a backhanded slap is much more calculated and intentional rather than reflexive, it was considered four times more injurious, and required a much higher reward for injuries.   And so, Jesus' instruction is much more difficult to take: not only do you not get an award for being struck and shamed, but... --- ### Bulletin February 23 2014 - Published: 2014-02-23 - Modified: 2014-02-23 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-23-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Bulletin_Feb_23_2014. pdf --- ### Bulletin February 16 2014 - Published: 2014-02-16 - Modified: 2014-02-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-16-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Bulletin_Feb_16_2014. pdf --- ### Welcome, Bishop-elect Scharfenberger! - Published: 2014-02-16 - Modified: 2014-02-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/welcome-bishop-elect-scharfenberger/ - Categories: Fr.

These insights are inspired by the words of Saint Paul: "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich" (2 Cor 8:9). The Apostle was writing to the Christians of Corinth to encourage them to be generous in helping the faithful in Jerusalem who were in need. What do these words of Saint Paul mean for us Christians today? What does this invitation to poverty, a life of evangelical poverty, mean to us today? Christ's grace First of all, it shows us how God works. He does not reveal himself cloaked in worldly power and wealth but rather in weakness and poverty: "though He was rich, yet for your sake he became poor …". Christ, the eternal Son of God, one with the Father in power and glory, chose to be poor; he came amongst us and drew near to each of us; he set aside his glory and emptied himself so that he could be like us in all things (cf.

David's Blog "The Lord walks the roads of our daily life" VATICAN CITY, January 26, 2014 - Here is the translation of the Holy Father's address before and after the recitation of the Angelus to the faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square today. * * * Dear brothers and sisters, hello, This Sunday's Gospel recounts the beginnings of Jesus' public life in the cities and villages of Galilee. His mission did not start from Jerusalem, that is, from the religious, social, and political center but from an area on the periphery, from an area despised by the most observant Jews because of the presence in that region of foreign groups. This is why the prophet Isaiah refers to it as "Galilee of the Gentiles" (Isaiah 8:23). It is a borderland, an area with many travelers where one meets people of different races, cultures and religions. Thus, Galilee in this way becomes the symbolic place of the Gospel's openness to all peoples. From this point of view, Galilee resembles today's world: the joint presence of different cultures, the necessity of confrontation and encounter. We too are immersed every day in a "Galilee of the Gentiles," and in this sort of context we can be frightened and give in to the temptation of building walls around ourselves to be safer and more protected. But Jesus teaches us that the glad tidings that he brings are not reserved for just one part of humanity; it is to be communicated to everyone. It is a joyful proclamation... --- ### Our Singularity & Constancy - Published: 2014-01-26 - Modified: 2014-01-26 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/our-singularity-constancy/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Siena College began its spring semester this week and after going through the syllabus for my theology course with my students, we hit the ground running.   Every semester begins with questions about God, questions like "does God exist" and "is God knowable".   And when we do, I eventually present three now-classic demonstrations for God's existence (I've shared these with you before).   God's existence can be demonstrated by arguments from Desire, from Contingency, and from the Objective Intelligibility of the World.   It's hard stuff…and it usually takes several discussions and examples for students' minds to begin to grasp what we're saying and how we're thinking.   Throughout our first three hours together, I repeatedly remind them of these demonstrations with arguments that are shorter, varied, some funny, but they're always consistent: I believe this is the best way for them to learn these difficult yet very significant points.   As the course will unfold, we will regularly make reference to these arguments because a single, consistent message demonstrates credibility, unity of heart, integrity of mind, and singularity of purpose. If a person or group says a thing only once, it can be easily missed by any hearers. If I tell one person one thing, and then contradict that when speaking with another, I lose all credibility and integrity, don't I? If, as a group, members who are supposed to be aligned with an ideal are consistently arguing, then their unity of heart and singularity of purpose come into question, don't they?   If none... --- ### Bulletin January 26 2014 - Published: 2014-01-24 - Modified: 2014-01-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-26-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Bulletin_Jan_26_2014. pdf --- ### Bulletin January 19 2014 - Published: 2014-01-19 - Modified: 2014-01-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-19-2014/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Bulletin_Jan_19_2014. pdf --- ### Credible Authority & Great Witness - Published: 2014-01-19 - Modified: 2014-01-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/credible-authority-great-witness/ - Categories: Fr.

David's Blog Loving in order to give Hope: One Day at a Time By Fr. Kevin Here we are a few days into a new year that cannot seem to make up its mind, one day frigid another nearly warm. With each New Year we think about beginning again, about resolutions for growing in virtue. Hopefully we seek to improve in order to love more and more consistently. As Christians we realize that the resolution to grow is with us daily, we call it conversion. Conversion is a turning to the Lord, to the Heart of Mercy, He who has come among us as one of us to heal, adopt, and raise us on high. When I first came to visit your pastor, Fr. David, here at St. Mary's, I was moved to see all the groups that make use of the parish facility for the sake of improving lives. In a particular way I mean those groups of mutual support and encouragement that have helped with the problems and imprisonment of addiction. There are active Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Food Addicts Anonymous, and, more recently, Self-Mutilators Anonymous groups in this parish. This work is of great importance and these men and women who meet regularly to help one another bear their crosses are deserving of our consistent prayers.  The hospitality shown by the parish toward them has become a heritage of love in Clinton Heights.

David's Blog "…a body you have prepared for me;" Hebrews 10:5c The stretch toward home in this season of Advent has begun. The home is the remembering of God coming among us in the body; God embracing human nature in full.  Home too is the Heaven we approach; the fullness of the promise given us in Jesus Christ the Son.   The Word Made Flesh has made a home in the body so that our bodies may have a home in heaven as sons and daughters of God. Jesus comes to us as a child born in time and made vulnerable to our condition. He offers his flesh to fight sin and its' effects. Death is the great enemy, but not even death can hold God. Joined to Him, His victory over death becomes our victory. His means of conquering is by the loving offering of Himself in the body. In the womb of the Virgin Mary He became man and was made visible to the adoring shepherds in the stable at Bethlehem. Bethlehem means "house of bread". Before dying and rising Jesus walked and preached and healed the brokenness of others in visible signs, healing the bodies of the sick and those in bondage to evil spirits. He also multiplied food and finally on the night His Body was handed over he gave us the Eucharist as food for our bodies and souls to prepare us for the eternal reunion of body and soul at the resurrection of the dead.

David's Blog When I first applied to the diocese to enter the seminary, I underwent a series of psychological tests (yes, like you, I'm surprised I ‘passed' them! ).   Anyway, one of the tests revolved around my perception of things.   Besides the usual Rorschach inkblot tests, the examiner had sketches that represented two or more images…the idea was that I was to look quickly and state what I saw.   Then, I could look longer and see if I saw anything else.   "Look again" he would say, as if I were a fool and didn't know what I saw.   "Look again"…and sure enough, there was another clear image, and sometimes a third.   I still enjoy visual perception tricks and puzzles, because they challenge my brain to be open to something else. Look again.   In our first reading from the Prophet Isaiah, we have images of the desert and the steppe, places of very limited vegetation or no growth at all.   In an instant, they are transformed with color, life, blossom and song.   We have, as well, feeble hands, weak knees, and frightened hearts: in an instant, they become robust, secure, strong and courageous.   First we have the blind, the deaf, the lame and the mute…in an instant, they now see, they hear, they leap and they sing!   And what is this instant comprised of; what is it that can accomplish the reversal of such miseries and misfortunes?   Rather, who is it?   It is God who comes into the midst of it all with power... --- ### The Winnowing Fan - Published: 2013-12-08 - Modified: 2013-12-08 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/the-winnowing-fan/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog When I was growing up, one of the traditional Advent rituals that my family took part in was the sacrament of Reconciliation or confession.   I can still recall the very long lines at all three of the confessionals.   Of course, I can also recall the dis-ease with which we sometimes went to confession, but alas, each timeno matter whatwe left feeling much better and at ease with ourselves and with the Lord. Nowadays, there is a very significant drop in the numbers of penitents coming to confession in Advent, let alone during the rest of the year.   From my vantage-point, it's sad, really: I wish people could see that such a sacramental celebration really calls us more closely into union with God and the Church, into a life of holiness and joy, into responsibility and rejoicing and peace.   But, on the other hand, as I see it, we're the product of our culture; and our culture says oftentimes, "I'm okay, you're okay, we're all okay. "  We don't like to be challenged and so we settle with both the good and the bad, the virtue and the vice. In today's gospel, John the Baptist uses an image that may be puzzling to us, but that would have been powerful indeed to his original audience.   Speaking of the coming Messiah, he says, "His winnowing fan is in his hand.   He will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn….

David's Blog As we inaugurate a new liturgical year with this First Sunday of Advent, let's recall a phenomena that's been taking us by storm these last nine months.   As Pope Francis has been in our midst, he's gotten a lot of press concerning his style: the way of his simplicity; his very gentle, humble words of love and acceptance; his challenge to put the gospel into action rather than allow it to remain words on a page or in a book.   And earlier this week, he published his first pontifical text on "the Joy of the Gospel".   As I've begun to read it and attempt to assimilate his instruction into my own life, I am finding it very challenging and rewarding at the same time, and I would like to reflect on it with you over these next weeks of Advent.   One of the initial images that strikes me is the idea of "contrast".   Let me see if I can help make sense of it and the value "contrasts" might have for us. From our opening prayer and all three of our readings, we sense that the Advent Season is inviting us to move from one place to another, from one time to another, from one way of being to another…and to do all of this with great haste.   Our opening prayer began, "Grant your faithful, we pray, Almighty God, the resolve to run forth to meet your Christ….

David's Blog Today November 22, 2013 our nation remembers the tragic event of fifty years ago when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Catholics remember him as the only Catholic to have held the office of President of the United States. During the month of November, it is the custom of the Church to remember in a special way the souls of the departed. In so doing we are reminded that burying and praying for the dead is a work of mercy. Eternal Rest grant unto him O Lord and let Perpetual Light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, Rest in Peace.

David's Blog Again, from Fr. Kevin, our resident... resident: My native place is an old city, Albany N. Y. , where in grade school and through subsequent civic efforts we learned our local history through symbols, horticulture, and artifacts.  Albany took off as a settlement of Dutchmen who were seeking the wealth of the new world. Their coveted sources of wealth were the hides of native beaver. I have never seen a living beaver in or around Albany though their memory is preserved. The city seal has long included a beaver felling a tree and one of the city's former names, Beverwyck, calls the rodent to mind.  At the height of hunting in the mid-seventeenth century tens of thousands of beaver pelts were sent annually from Albany to the Netherlands for the production of hats and coats. Far from the days of trapping, my grandmother once gave my sister a synthetically furred Bucky Beaver stuffed animal, a reward from a local bank's Christmas Club. Along with beaver, the Dutch of seventeenth century Netherlands were going crazy over another export of Turkish origin, the tulip. Rare bulbs were being purchased for small fortunes amidst fierce competition by the Dutch. Albany sponsors an annual Tulip Festival complete with a Tulip Queen. Beaver hats and tulips, beauties known to a season, are reminders too of fashion and the pursuit of wealth. There were two artifacts of note drawn to our attention. Both artifacts belong to the Dutch Reformed Church in downtown Albany. First there is the preacher's pulpit,... --- ### Bulletin November 10 2013 - Published: 2013-11-10 - Modified: 2013-11-10 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-november-10-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Bulletin_Nov_10_2013. pdf --- ### A Reflection on All Souls - Published: 2013-11-04 - Modified: 2013-11-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/a-reflection-on-all-souls/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog One of the ministries that I exercise as a parish priests is to preside and preach at funeralsnever an easy task.   The deep truths of our faith which can be so consoling at other times often don't when death is still raw.   The pain is too all-absorbing for the words of faith to break through and do much in the way of real consolation.   Their full effect will take place in a way and time that respects the rhythm of human grief that each one of us will endure; within each one of you who are trying now to endure. For you who have lost a dear loved one during these past twelve months, I invite you tonight to consider the very gentle and very safe embrace of God that we have so deeply prayed for since the death of your love.   Nothing can be more consoling than to believe that our loved one is now in far safer and gentler hands than our own. But is this mere wishful thinking?   Is it whistling in the dark to keep up our courage?   Is it somehow fudging God's justice to console ourselves? Not if Jesus can be believed!   Everything that Jesus reveals about God assures us that God's hands are much gentler and safer than our own.   God is the Father of the prodigal son and, as we see in that parable, God is more understanding and more compassionate to us than we are to ourselves. We see in that parable... --- ### Bulletin November 3 2013 - Published: 2013-11-03 - Modified: 2013-11-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-november-3-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Bulletin_Nov_3_2013. pdf --- ### Bulletin October 27 2013 - Published: 2013-10-26 - Modified: 2013-10-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-27-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/October-27-2013. pdf --- ### Bulletin October 20 2013 - Published: 2013-10-20 - Modified: 2013-10-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-20-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/October-20-2013. pdf --- ### Bulletin October 13 2013 - Published: 2013-10-15 - Modified: 2013-10-15 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-13-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/bulletin_October_13_2013. pdf   --- ### St. Teresa of Avila and her fathers - Published: 2013-10-15 - Modified: 2013-10-15 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/st-teresa-of-avila-and-her-fathers/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog October 15th the Church celebrates the feast of the Doctor of the Church, Teresa of Avila. Teresa was born in 1515 and by the age of twenty entered the Carmelite Monastery of the Incarnation. The ancient Carmelite order of men and women traces its origins to hermits on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land. The Carmelite way is a way of prayer, seeking union with God in mind, heart, and will. The Carmelite community Teresa entered numbered about 150 sisters. There was a semblance of religious life among them, but too much time was given to idle talk, visitors, gossip, and vanity. Teresa, following an illness and experiences of intimacy with the Lord in prayer, desired a more recollected life of prayer, holy poverty, austerity, and greater silence. She encountered difficulties, but in 1562 succeeded in forming a community of more intense observance entrusting it to the foster father of Jesus, St. Joseph. Teresa is famous for her reform of the Carmelites and for her writings:  Autobiography, Way of Perfection, and Interior Castle. In her Autobiography we learn something about her esteem and respect for her natural father, Don Alonso Sánchez de Ceped and for St. Joseph whom she continually refers to as both her father and the father of her community. Of her natural father she writes: "My father was a man of great charity towards the poor, who was good to the sick and also to his servants -- so much so that he could never be brought... --- ### Anna and the King - Published: 2013-10-14 - Modified: 2013-10-14 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/anna-and-the-king/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog (Continuing Fr. Kevin's reflections of late... ) Several years ago, I had charge of a young adults group in Washington D. C. One Thursday evening we choose as our activity a conversation in which each member presented two or three of his or her favorite saints to the group. The Blessed Mother was taken as a given, but beyond that the field for discussion was wide open.   The saints with the most interest were St. Joseph followed closely by St. Therese of Lisieux, and there were others. Now, I am very excited to hear about saints and especially about ones who are little known. A young lawyer in the group said that he carried a holy card in his wallet of his favorite saint. Drawing the wallet from his back pocket we watched with expectation as he produced a holy card that looked like a print of a small watercolor. The image was… St. Anna Wang. I along with the others was stumped, having never heard of her and we listened. Anna, he explained, was a teenage martyr from China who was killed in the early twentieth century. China has long been thought of as a protective culture wary of outside influences. High School history classes in our "western world", while considering Chinese history, introduced to our vocabulary the word "xenophobia", a word meaning fear of foreigners. The iconic monument of China in our collective cultural consciousness is the Great Wall. Walls provide protection from outside threats.

David's Blog Urban-dwellers might hear the words "Guardian Angels" and remember having seen some. This was not a mystical experience. The Guardian Angels were formed over 30 years ago and are famous for their red berets. Their service is one of vigilance on neighborhood streets where they brave themselves to break up violence and report criminal activity. They seemed to some to be vigilantes and they have been, although not in a negative sense. The one who keeps vigil is the one who watches. The Guardian Angels whom minister to each soul and whose feast the Church celebrates on October 2nd also keep vigil. These mysterious beings that are a gift to us are often last thought of when our days of nursery and primary education begin to wane. Their introduction to us often takes place in two ways. First, they belong to the category of saints and holy beings to whom rhyming prayers are addressed. An Irish-American woman in my undergraduate days said that women in her family prayed thus to Jesus' grandmother: "St. Ann, St. Ann, find me a man. " An Italian-American monsignor, with car trouble, got into the car saying: "Mother Cabrini fixa my machini. " More universal in our language is the prayer to the Guardian Angel: Angel of God, my guardian dear, To whom God's love commits me here, Ever this day, be at my side, To light and guard, Rule and guide. Rhymes can be helpful and most prayerfully uttered, but they can also become a kind... --- ### Bulletin September 29 2013 - Published: 2013-09-29 - Modified: 2013-09-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-september-29-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/bulletin_Sept_29_2013. pdf   --- ### Bulletin September 22 2013 - Published: 2013-09-22 - Modified: 2013-09-27 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-september-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin To view the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/bulletin_Sept_22_2013. pdf   --- ### Newsletter September 2013 - Published: 2013-09-20 - Modified: 2013-09-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/newsletter/newsletter-september-2013/ - Categories: Newsletter The September 2013 edition of the newsletter is ready: Newsletter http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Newsletter_Sept_2013. pdf --- ### Holy Cowboy! - Published: 2013-09-15 - Modified: 2013-09-15 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/holy-cowboy/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Fr. Kevin's wanderings continued... Saturdays of my childhood began with the Looney Tunes, Bugs Bunny and the rest. My father liked those old cartoons. Saturday afternoon was my mother's time for watching "Westerns". Mom came from a small mountain town and her father and relatives had horses and livestock. The Lone Ranger was a favorite for us to watch; part of Rossini's William Tell Overture played as opening music and the cool surname of the actor who played Tanto was Silverheels.   I remember also Wyatt Earp, "brave, courageous, and bold", as the theme song went. The Earp character would have many later admirers via the film Tombstone. The Westerns are no longer a staple of Saturdays, but I was reminded of them so clearly when on Saturday morning September 14th, 2013 I read about a beatification. On that Saturday Cardinal Amato, representing Pope Francis, beatified a priest of Argentina--Padre José Gabriel Brochero. Blessed Jose Gabriel is known in Argentina as the "cowboy priest". This gaucho, as local cattle-herders are known, served a large parish spread over miles of mountainous terrain. Bl. Jose showed bravery in his first years as a priest by ministering to victims of a cholera epidemic in the city of Cordoba, Argentina. At 29 he was assigned to St. Albert, a remote parish numbering about ten thousand souls with neither schools nor roads.

David's Blog (On the occasion of the Pope's Vigil for Peace, the text of his homily:) "And God saw that it was good" (Gen 1:12, 18, 21, 25). The biblical account of the beginning of the history of the world and of humanity speaks to us of a God who looks at creation, in a sense contemplating it, and declares: "It is good". This allows us to enter into God's heart and, precisely from within him, to receive his message. We can ask ourselves: what does this message mean? What does it say to me, to you, to all of us? 1. It says to us simply that this, our world, in the heart and mind of God, is the "house of harmony and peace", and that it is the space in which everyone is able to find their proper place and feel "at home", because it is "good". All of creation forms a harmonious and good unity, but above all humanity, made in the image and likeness of God, is one family, in which relationships are marked by a true fraternity not only in words: the other person is a brother or sister to love, and our relationship with God, who is love, fidelity and goodness, mirrors every human relationship and brings harmony to the whole of creation. God's world is a world where everyone feels responsible for the other, for the good of the other. This evening, in reflection, fasting and prayer, each of us deep down should ask ourselves:... --- ### Bulletin September 8 2013 - Published: 2013-09-08 - Modified: 2013-09-08 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-september-8-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/bulletin_Sept_8_2013. pdf --- ### Prayer for Peace in Syria - Published: 2013-09-07 - Modified: 2013-09-07 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/prayer-for-peace-in-syria/ - Categories: Fr.

David's Blog Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has called on Catholics and all people of good will to join together in prayer and fasting on Saturday September 7th for peace in the world and especially in Syria and throughout the Middle-East. The Pope will lead a vigil on the evening of September 7th, the vigil of the Birth of the Virgin Mary, between 7-11pm in St. Peter's Square. The vigil of prayer will include Eucharistic adoration, the rosary and opportunity for confession. Pope Francis invites all Catholics to join in prayer, wherever they may be.   Regarding the vigil the pope said: "We will gather in prayer and in a spirit of penance, invoking God's great gift of peace upon the beloved nation of Syria and upon each situation of conflict and violence around the world…" The Holy Father is invoking the prayers of the Blessed Mother under her title, Queen of Peace. While many Americans are moved by the plight of others via the news media, a consideration of the plight of Christians and the tradition of Christianity in Syria can help to inform and motivate us to pray and sacrifice. Prayers for that peace "which the world cannot give" are most needed as the situation is extremely chaotic. The conflict between the regime and various rebel groups have displaced over four million within Syria and have caused two million to leave the country altogether. The attendant problems of migration in terms of lack of food, water, and housing, and resultant illnesses... --- ### URGENT: Prayer for Peace - Published: 2013-09-03 - Modified: 2013-09-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/urgent-prayer-for-peace/ - Categories: Fr.

David's Blog (Continuing Fr. Kevin's musings of these months:) I remember watching a western with my Baptist mother in which a Gabby Hayes type mountain man walked along holding a shaking forked stick. "What is he doing? " I asked. "Trying to use superstition to find water," my mother answered. No Baptist could approve of water witchery. When I was about seven years old, I sat on the beach in Maine watching a man hover a modern stick above the sand.  Turning to my father I asked, "Daddy, what's he doing? " "He's looking for metal, that's a metal detector. Probably hoping to find coins or jewelry," my father answered. In that moment at a place where shore and ocean met, the romance of swashbuckling adventure fled. Gone were the imagined treasure maps, eye-patches, wooden legs, and pirate booty trunks. Someone soon told me that what the metal detectors most often discovered were soda can tabs.   The thought of digging and finding remain exciting nonetheless. Jesus knew his hearers were excited by the prospect and so he spoke of the Kingdom as a hidden treasure discovered. News of treasure found is still arresting for the imagination. Over the past twenty years, ancient Roman coin hordes and precious items have regularly been discovered in England.   Many of these treasure stashes were buried while people were in flight from their enemies.   England makes for a great dig. The treasure beneath England is not only coins, but also history and the remains of kings.

David's Blog (This post is written by a priest who is in residence in our rectory for the next few months) This time of year the word is "mum", or more commonly "hearty mums". Recently, I accompanied a priest friend to a garden center to get some mums to beautify the parish grounds.   There was certainly less color on offer than in the height of summer, but the mums were ready. Among the mums, birdbaths, assorted metallic orbs and such were a few statues. There was a statue of the Blessed Mother, looking as close as possible to her image titled Our Lady of Grace; arms opened downward in a gesture of graces being shared. St. Francis' statue was there with depictions also of birds on his shoulder.  This is Holy Father Francis in the act of preaching to the birds. The third figure was of a bearded hooded man holding a shovel. My guess is that a number of people have probably looked at the saint with the shovel and thought it simply to be Saint Francis, ready to work.   This saint, however, is the patron of gardeners; his name is St. Fiacre (d. 670). Fiacre was a native of Ireland known for the holiness of his life. He attracted disciples who wanted to learn the disciplines of following Christ. The crush of visitors and those looking for a mentor drove Fiacre away from Ireland to France where he hoped to live more alone with God alone.

Be sure, that if these do not match our real reasons for being here each Sunday, then we must heed the warning issued by Our Lord in today's gospel.   "Strive to enter through the narrow gate" is His challenge, but know that the path is narrow and many will not be strong enough.   Yes, we might say that we are doing right now the bare minimum that is required of those who wish to enter into the Kingdom of God, but then again, the bare minimum will surely not be enough.   Such a familiar plea, "But we ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets" will surely not be our ticket into God's reign.   So, what more is required?   The "more" that is required is in the virtuous reasons for us being here today and every Lord's Day.

David's Blog Clearly, "persistence" is the word of the day.   Ask, seek and knock and we will receive, find and be welcomed.   But what is it exactly that will be given to us?   To illustrate, I have been praying for priest-friend these last days and his situation has not been resolved; a few months ago I buried a lovely parishionerJoAnne Gulloafter having prayed for and with her for years; a priest of our diocese is not recovering very well from being stricken with serious illness and he's barely hanging on to his life.   For each of these and so many more things I've been praying, but when asking, seeking and knocking, I'm finding it almost impossible find the Lord's response.   Yet, He still invites me to be persistent in prayer.   Why? In today's first reading, we hear of the immediate results of Abraham's prayer: God promises to save Sodom and Gomorrah for the sake of a mere ten righteous inhabitants.   So, what about God's response in other instances? I wonder if my prayer could be better framed: recall the Lord's Prayer and our constant request that God's will be done.   This might be significant: if my prayer is to be that God's will be done in these many challenging situations, just what will God's will look like?   I would suggest there are two important ingredients that help to shape God's will.   First, I would hold that God's will very much involves His desire for me (and, for that matter, every one of... --- ### Bulletin July 28 2013 - Published: 2013-07-28 - Modified: 2013-07-28 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-july-28-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/bulletin_july_28_2013. pdf --- ### Bulletin July 21 2013 - Published: 2013-07-21 - Modified: 2013-07-21 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-july-21-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/bulletin_july_21_2013. pdf --- ### Bulletin July 14 2013 - Published: 2013-07-14 - Modified: 2013-07-14 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-july-14-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/bulletin_july_14_2013. pdf --- ### Not "who is my neighbor," but "Who is the Good Samaritan?" - Published: 2013-07-14 - Modified: 2013-07-14 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/not-who-is-my-neighbor-but-who-is-the-good-samaritan/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Last month we dedicated our new stained glass window in the Chapel of St. Joseph.   Since then, some have commented on the many stories that are weaved into the various holy persons that are depicted.   Some, however, may still be unconvinced of the power and beauty that stained glass has to tell a story, but let's consider the passage we've just heard from Luke's gospel concerning the Good Samaritan. Incidentally, my love of stained glass probably took root when about eighteen years ago I visited the Cathedral of Chartres (near Paris, France) and beheld the beauty of its world-renowned windows.   In one of the windows, the story of creation and the fall of man is interwoven with the narrative of the Good Samaritan.   Instead of merely giving us a parable of moral kindness and a rebuke of prejudice, that window reflected deeper theological truths that can be missed if we hear the story of the Samaritan outside of the context of our Catholic faith and tradition. Recall how Jerusalem is always depicted as a heavenly city, God's city, the city of salvation.   Remember, too, that at the dawn of creation, the Garden of Eden was God's dwelling place with the human race.   We'll also recall how Adam and Eve were expelled from God's company, God's dwelling, the Garden once they sinned against God.   Well, the unfortunate man in Jesus' parable who makes his way from Jerusalem to Jericho represents the human race which has fallen from the glory of the... --- ### Bulletin July 7 2013 - Published: 2013-07-07 - Modified: 2013-07-07 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-july-7-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/bulletin_july_7_2013. pdf --- ### The New Evangelization - Published: 2013-07-07 - Modified: 2013-07-07 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/the-new-evangelization/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Just this week, Pope Francis issued his first encyclical called "The Light of Faith" which echoed, among other things, the importance of newly evangelizing the world and its peoples. I'm not sure about each of you, but I am aware that many American Catholics don't understand this "new evangelization", wondering why and how we are to accomplish it, squeamish about the prospect of going door-to-door and preaching the Good News to total strangers (by the way, not necessarily what we mean). Instead, consider the gift of faith that you first received in Baptism and that you continually receive by the grace of the Sacraments or by your humble, simple prayers offered each day.   That gift of faith is a gift from God intended to build us up into His people.  And if we are to be "His people", we see that we are not isolated or alone, but rather each of us enters into a kind of spiritual community, easily witnessed by our gathering together as a parish each Sunday, but more difficult to see when we go forth from here, dispersed into our own elements of the world…in our jobs, our homes, among our friends, in our own particular schools, our own individual works, etc.   And it is in those often-times more difficult places where… our faith might be tucked away for fear of ridicule; our faith might not challenge the world for fear of offending another; our faith might take a backseat so that we don't have to... --- ### Bulletin June 30 2013 - Published: 2013-07-01 - Modified: 2013-07-01 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-june-30-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Bulletin_June_30_2013. pdf   --- ### Resolute Discipleship - Published: 2013-06-30 - Modified: 2013-06-30 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/resolute-discipleship/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog When I was eleven I had this rough and tumble Schwinn bike.   I thought it was the toughest thing on wheels until my mom unknowingly backed the station wagon right over it as it lay on the ground in the driveway.   Within just a few days I realized the torture of not having a bike anymore and so I took on tons of extra chores and saved up enough money that I eventually got another bike…but with this one, I always made sure it was on the kickstand!   I kept it well-oiled, clean, and in tip-top shape because I had worked really hard for it and it was valuable to me…I was finally free again to have fun with my friends! For each us, when something is really important, really valuable to us, we've learned to care for and protect it.   Whether it's a house, a car, an investment portfolio…whatever the case might be, we always give it extra special care, don't we?   If we want that great vacation, we save, we invest, we scrimp…and we let nothing deter us. Well, in today's readings, we are asked to consider the invitation from God that we be His disciples.   God, in His great love and generosity, desires us to follow him in order that we might share in the fullness of His life always.   Consider the beginning of today's gospel: Jesus resolutely determines to go to Jerusalem.   Remember, Jerusalem is where his mission is fulfilled: he is rejected by all and... --- ### Bulletin June 23 2013 - Published: 2013-06-23 - Modified: 2013-06-23 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-june-23-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Bulletin_june_23_2013. pdf   --- ### Invitation to Holiness - Published: 2013-06-23 - Modified: 2013-06-23 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/invitation-to-holiness/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog If you enjoy the art of stained glass you'll love our new stained glass window in the Chapel of St. Joseph. The Church has always encouraged artists and the use of sacred art to help not only transmit the beauty of the transcendent, but to bring us who behold such masterpieces into the beauty and majesty of God Himself.   That is the goal of this window: to invite us to share in the wonder of God's interior life, God's life shared with us, and our lives transformed into holy women and men in our midst.   Here are just a few of the elements that our design hopes to transmit: God's Trinitarian life as Father, Son and Holy Spirit is a life of lovecreative and generative love.   As the Father shares with all of creation the gift of His only Son, Jesus furthers this gift by offering Himself from the waters of His baptism to the altar of His Cross to the fruits of His resurrection.   By sending the Holy Spirit, God furthers His great blessings to us in the sacramental life of the Church, most clearly when we are bathed in the waters of our own baptism and nourished in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.   Baptism envelopes us into God's life while the Eucharist feeds us as we walk along the way God lays out for each of us who believe. And what is "the way" that God desires for each of us?   We are invited to be holy,... --- ### 2013-08-05 Vacation Bible Camp - Published: 2013-06-17 - Modified: 2013-06-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/event/2013-08-05-vacation-bible-camp/ - Categories: Event Vacation Bible Camp 2013 KINGDOM ROCK:  Where Kids Stand Strong for God The week of August 5th-9th from 9:00am noon.

David's Blog First of all: happy Father's Day to all of our dads.   We'll have a special blessing for you toward the end of Mass, but I wish to thank you for all of the ways you help to guide us closer to God and to true love.   I am aware that many times you are unnoticed, generous in secret and quietly caring: thank you for the blessings you are for your families and for our parish community! With summer fast approaching and kids being ready to play all day, there will inevitably be little tiffs and fights.   Moms & dads will have to be ready to instruct them, as always, to "kiss and make up", because a kiss is used to heal & strengthen love.   So, naturally, kissing and loving just go together. So in today's gospel: a sinful woman has not ceased kissing Jesus' feet, while SimonJesus' hostdid not even offer a kiss to the Lord.   The woman's encounter with Jesus not only brought her forgiveness, but was also an occasion for her to show her great love…with a kiss. Yes, David in our first reading, and the lowly woman in our gospel: both opened themselves with love to the mercy & forgiveness of God…and it was granted them.   Thus love healed & restored them. All too often, we try to be the judge as was Simon: we place other sinners outside of God's love, God's life by passing judgment over them, while instead, we should be rejoicing over their... --- ### Bulletin June 16 2013 - Published: 2013-06-15 - Modified: 2013-06-15 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-june-16-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Bulletin_June_16_2013. pdf   --- ### Newsletter June 2013 - Published: 2013-06-14 - Modified: 2013-06-14 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/newsletter/newsletter-june-2013/ - Categories: Newsletter The June 2013 edition of the newsletter is ready: Newsletter http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/eNewsletter_June_2013. pdf --- ### Bulletin June 9 2013 - Published: 2013-06-09 - Modified: 2013-06-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-june-9-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here.

David's Blog This weekend, as the Church celebrates Pentecost and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the nascent Church, we here at our parish celebrate anew such gifts of community, of prayerful praise, of faith in God and the sharing of our many individual and varied gifts in common. Without posting the different homilies of this weekend, suffice it to say that we are a very blessed community.   At our 8:30am liturgy, we recalled our baptism as we were again sprinkled with holy water from our baptismal font.   We then called forth the power of the Holy Spirit during the Confirmation of Megan Gianna Calnan.   She was sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit as she was anointed with Sacred Chrism... and I encouraged Megan to continue to accept and utilize the gifts of the Spirit of God in her blessed future within the Church.   Later, we again called upon the Holy Spirit to bless and sanctify the gifts we presented upon the altar... and during our Communion Rite, we each shared in that food from God.   Finally, before we were sent forth, we welcomed several new families and parishioners to our parish. After that Mass, we had not only a light reception to further welcome our new parishioners, but we also had a feast of brunch for our RCIA Team and the members of our parish who celebrated the Sacraments of Initiation and were received into the Church at this year's Easter Vigil.   Our young children also celebrated with parties marking... --- ### The Unity of LOVE - Published: 2013-05-12 - Modified: 2013-05-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/the-unity-of-love/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Happy Mother's Day to all our moms: our natural mothers; grandmothers; adoptive mothers; spiritual mothers; foster mothers…and all those who minister as mothers for each of us.   Let us pray that these moms always receive from us the blessings of love that they constantly share with us. Although this seventh Sunday of Easter each year announces the gospel we've just heard, it may just be a coincidence that it is also Mother's Day.   If we take but a moment, most, if not all of us, immediately picture how a mother tenderly and faithfully loves her child.   There's no hoop for the child to jump through, no payment or bribe to make, no begging…no, the child doesn't even have to be good or even nice…the mother's love for that child is guaranteed, constant, ever-present and always full. And this kind of love between a mother and her child is a wonderful image of the love that is expressed in today's gospel:  Jesus' love for the Father and the Father's great love shared with him in return.   And what is so powerfully important for us to note from our perspective is that Jesus asks the Father to include useach and every one of usin their rapturous love!   Jesus begs the Father to allow such a binding and life-giving love to always bubble up within us, surround us, and enfold us so that His own presence might remain in and around each one of us.   And it is through the love of our... --- ### Bulletin May 12 2013 - Published: 2013-05-11 - Modified: 2013-05-11 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-12-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Bulletin_May_12_2013. pdf --- ### Spring Photos - Published: 2013-05-05 - Modified: 2013-05-05 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/spring-photos/ - Categories: Photo Gallery --- ### Bulletin May 5 2013 - Published: 2013-05-05 - Modified: 2013-05-05 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-may-5-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Bulletin_May_5_2013. pdf   --- ### Bulletin April 28 2013 - Published: 2013-04-27 - Modified: 2013-04-27 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-april-28-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Bulletin_April_28_2013. pdf --- ### The Gift of Celibacy - Published: 2013-04-26 - Modified: 2013-04-26 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/the-gift-of-celibacy/ - Categories: Fr.

Slezak (Brian Slezak is a seminarian of the Diocese of Albany studying at Mundelein Seminary just outside of Chicago.   Brian will be ordained a transitional deacon in the summer of 2013 with a view toward priestly ordination in 2014.   I asked Brian for permission to share this on our parish blog because I sense many might enjoy it... he was happy to give permission and to wish us blessings and joy. ) Before a man can be ordained priest, he must first accept ordination to the diaconate - to serve for a designated time as a deacon.  Before ordination to the diaconate he must, in writing, formally petition the bishop for admission  to the Order of Deacon, clearly expressing his understanding of all that Sacred Orders require of him, especially the obligations of celibacy and obedience. As a candidate for the priesthood, I recently wrote to Bishop Hubbard petitioning ordination to the diaconate, affirming my full understanding and acceptance of all that the Church requires of the deacon.  I concluded my letter saying: "I do this entirely of my own free will, motivated by love of God and the desire to serve His people... I intend to devote myself to the ministry of the Church for the rest of my life.

David's Blog My dear brothers and sisters, Happy Easter! Happy Easter!  What a joy it is for me to announce this message: Christ is risen! This is the new and glorious news that eagerly goes out to every house and every family, especially where suffering is greatest, in hospitals, in prisons, to our homebound, and to those who lack faith or hope… Most of all, this message longs to enter into every heart, for it is there that God wants to sow this Good News: Jesus is risen, there is hope for us, we are no longer in the power of sin, of evil! Love has triumphed, mercy has been victorious…for the mercy of God always triumphs!  We too, like the women who were Jesus' disciples, who went to the tomb and found it empty, may wonder what this event means. What does it mean that Jesus is risen? Quite simply, it means that the love of God is stronger than evil and death itself; it means that the love of God can transform our lives and let those desert places in our hearts bloom. The love of God can do this! This same love for which the Son of God became man and followed the way of humility and self-giving to the very end, even down to hell - to the abyss of separation from God - this same merciful love has flooded with light the dead body of Jesus, has transfigured it, has made it pass into eternal life. Jesus didn't return to his former life, to earthly life, but he... --- ### Holy Saturday: Easter Vigil - Published: 2013-04-01 - Modified: 2013-04-01 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/holy-saturday-easter-vigil/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog God never overpowers, never twists arms, never pushes our face into something so as to take away our freedom. God respects our freedom and is never a coercive force. And nowhere is this more true than in what is revealed in the resurrection of Jesus. The Gospels assure us that, the resurrection was physical, real, not just some alteration inside the minds or imaginations of believers or followers. No, after the resurrection, we are assured, Jesus' tomb was empty, people could touch him, he ate food with them, he was not a ghost. But his rising from the dead was not a brute slap in the face to his critics, was not a non-negotiable fact that left skeptics speechless. The resurrection didn't make a big news splash or headline: After he rose from the dead, Jesus was seen by some, but not by others; understood by some, but not by others. Some got his meaning and it changed their lives, others were indifferent to him, and still others who, while they understood what had happened, they still hardened their hearts against it, and tried to destroy its truth. We even see this continuing today, so why the difference? What makes some see the resurrection while others do not?

David's Blog You might be tempted to think that tonight's homily is merely a repetition of Palm Sunday since, "we heard the Passion homily just a few days ago. "  Well, true, we did hear a homily on the Passion according to Luke, but the Passion shared every Good Friday (for about the past 1600 years) is the Passion according to St. John…and it's a very distinct passion narrative (one filled with fruitful reflections on theology), very different than any of the other gospel writers'.   In order to keep you invested in Good Friday liturgies far into the futureso that you'll keep coming back year after yearI'll only focus our attention on a few of the unique images given to us this night. Of course, I am so very aware that the attraction of this night is not the homily at all, but rather the movements of the Triduum in their entirety: from the Lord's washing of feet and the Passover meal, to his trial and the judgment of his death; from his crucifixion and our veneration of the wood of the cross, to the sacred fire burning brightly in the night to dispel the darkness around us; from fresh water of new birth to the celebration of a new covenant.   These are the reasons for our entry into the Sacred Triduum, and tonight we are brought first, to a betrayal. St. John gives us a more complete view of this encounter in the Garden of Gethsemane than the other Gospel writers.   He... --- ### Holy Thursday - Published: 2013-03-28 - Modified: 2013-03-28 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/holy-thursday/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Ask any Jew during these very days and they will tell you of the solemnity and reverence of their recollection of the Passover.   Indeed, even now, Jews gather with a significant purpose and intense meaning as they join to offer the Passover meal.   This has been their tradition for millenniaa tradition we're recalling this evening in our own Catholic liturgy of the Lord's Supper…His Passover meal with his disciples.   Rich with symbolism and steeped in time-honored tradition, the sacred meal is stopped abruptly.   What could possibly be more important than completing the offering of the four wines?   What cannot wait until the consummation of the offering; what on earth or in heaven could prevent it's fulfillment that night in the Upper Room?   In essence, what and why is Jesus doing? Let us recall all that we have seen and heard from the Lord Jesus prior to the Passover meal: how he ate with sinners, how he touched the unclean, how he associated with the outcast, the widow and the orphan.   All of this while serving their most basic of needs: closeness and restoration with him and the love of the Father.   Now let's return to the Upper Room: he stands up from the table, removes his vestments and washes the feet of his followers. In ancient Palestine, washing feet was a job reserved for slaves…and no wonder: it was one of the most unpleasant and humiliating tasks imaginable.   People wore sandals or went barefoot, and the roads and paths they... --- ### Bulletin March 24 2013 - Published: 2013-03-24 - Modified: 2013-03-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-24-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Bulletin_March_24_2013. pdf --- ### Following Christ - Published: 2013-03-24 - Modified: 2013-03-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/following-christ/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog As Christ entered Jerusalem, dozenseven hundredsof his disciples follow him.   Just minutes ago, we remembered that glorious entry and we joined with them (recall that when the Church "remembers", it actually ‘makes present again' the event, the happening).   The entry was glorious because for each of them, they had seen the marvelous works of Jesus and gave God praise.   For us, too, we praise God for the wondrous and glorious deeds that the Lord continues to work in our midst, deeds like: The compassion he instills in us as we visit the sick or comfort the dying; The mercy he inspires when we grant forgiveness to someone who has harmed us; The courage he gives us when we stand up for the oppressed, the bullied, or the victimized; The fortitude he grants us when we face, time and time again, an injustice that won't go away; The persuasion of the Spirit that he offers when we are faced with temptation or doubt. Yes, in these instances, and more, we come in contact with the Christ who we follow into Jerusalem.   He comes to his Holy City as our King, and we followed him with palms as an expression of our joy; a joy which recognizes that Jesus has invited us into his friendship, and we have accepted him and his love for us.   That's our joy: it's an expression of our "yes" to Jesus, and our willingness to go with him wherever he takes us.   This joy is rooted, then,... --- ### Prayer of Blessing for Pope Francis - Published: 2013-03-19 - Modified: 2013-03-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/prayer-of-blessing-for-pope-francis/ - Categories: Fr.

David's Blog Last weekend, we went to the well with the Samaritan Woman. And as we conversed with Jesus, we first saw him merely as "a Jew".   But later, as we listened while He spoke, we came to discover more about Him and we perceived Him as "a prophet".   Only after He shared with us the depth and beauty of who we are in His midst did we understand Him to be "the Christ". This weekend, we find ourselves again in His midst, but this time we are as the Blind Man who has no sense of this Jesus: blind since birth, we cannot hope to see except by the One who can restore our lost sight.   We clearly admit from the outset, "I am he" who is blind.   And we are challenged and ridiculed by those around us. Yet, the more we ponder and share about the One who restores our sight, the more we come to see Him for who He is: first, He is "a healer"; later, He is "a prophet"; still later, the "Son of Man"; and finally, "Lord"! If we share our lives with Christ, He will be able to share greatly His own life with us.   If we share our life of faith with others, so much more will that life of faith impact our own…allowing us to grow in comprehension and witness…allowing us to proclaim "Christ, the Lord!

David's Blog Forgiveness is not the ready rule of our culture.   We relish revenge, and we pray to get even or to inflict more pain than was delivered. In the Parable of the Prodigal Son, which we've been praying throughout this afternoon and evening, we seen over and over that the father is the exemplar of forgiveness: not many people in our lives are so eager to welcome back into their lives people who have hurt them grievously.   Clearly Jesus knows this condition of ours and so he tells the parable in such a way as to look beyond the younger son and the forgiving father.   Certainly in the person of the father, Jesus teaches us about the immensity of the father's love and of the father's desire to have us return to him.   But the second message of the parable is found in the person of the older son.   Jesus makes that older son a mirror in which he invites us to recognize how our anger and resentments keep us out of the father's house. You see, in Jewish culture of the first century, their system of honor and shame did not allow much forgiveness.   If someone brought shame on you or treated you shamefully, you walked away from that person and shook the dust from your feet.   So, there was nothing more shameful than for a son to insult or embarrass his father.   In fact, the law actually allowed for such a son to be stoned to death!   Thus, the... --- ### Retreat Reflections II: the Compassionate Father - Published: 2013-03-11 - Modified: 2013-03-11 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/retreat-reflections-ii-the-compassionate-father/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Welcome back…hopefully we haven't lost anyone! Well, we've reflected on the two sons, and now we turn our gaze to the central figure of Jesus' parable and of Rembrandt's painting: that of the father. Here, is a tired, warm, dignified…yet bent over, grey-haired old man, whose squinted eyes seem almost blind from searching the horizon for his younger son. What is the first impression you have of this figure?   Recall that the father didn't argue when the younger son, as if wishing him dead, asked the father for his share of the inheritance: "So he divided his wealth between them".   The father didn't command his son to reconsider, he didn't tell his servants to lock him away until he came to his senses.   He simply and humbly gave away what he had. And what now is the last impression you have of this figure?   A father whose heart was never divided, who was just and fair, who has no favorite and who never discriminates.   In responding to both of his sons, this father is the one whoboth timestakes the initiative: With the younger son: "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him"; And with the elder son: "…and his father came out and began pleading with him". In both cases, the father went out!   He is equally generous, with a generosity that knows no limits.   Yes, although at the conclusion of the... --- ### Retreat Reflections I: the Sons - Published: 2013-03-11 - Modified: 2013-03-11 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/retreat-reflections-i-the-sons/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Today our reflections will be on Rembrandt's "Return of the Prodigal Son" of 1668, utilizing both the oft-heard gospel parable and various insightful meditations and notes from Fr. Henri Nouwen. I made reference to the painting (which each of you has…albeit a detailed section of the main piece)…I made reference to the painting of 1668 because Rembrandt actually did 3 works by the same name. You can see the first: a pencil sketch from 1636 when Rembrandt was merely 30 years old. Then 6 years later, another sketch with much more movement and some emphasis on color, both darks and lights, but still very much muted.   Remember he's only 36 at this time.   And know, too, that Rembrandt was really impressed by his own genius and talent.   He was arrogant, extravagant, brash and sensual.   He loved luxury and didn't care much about those around him.   He made a lot, he spent a lot, and he lost a lot. And then, 26 years later1 year before his deathRembrandt completes the masterpiece of today's meditations.   Keep in mind that much had happened in those ensuing 26 years: they were years filled with suffering.   For example, he saw all but one of his children, as well as his wife, die.   By the time he came to paint this piece, he was truly a different man…one accustomed to pain, and sorrow; grief and suffering. A few other versions might help us to capture some of the scenes that don't show up so well otherwise.  ... --- ### Bulletin March 10 2013 - Published: 2013-03-10 - Modified: 2013-03-10 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-10-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Bulletin_March_10_2013. pdf --- ### Conversion & Proclamation - Published: 2013-03-04 - Modified: 2013-03-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/conversion-proclamation/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog I invite you take a moment to reflect on your own history of faith.   By doing so, not only may we discover conversion, but the challenge by Christ to profess a renewed faith. The thirsty Israelites of our first reading complained childishly and asked if the Lord was in their midst or not.   There they were, led through the desert to the Promised Land by the Lord, and still they did not recognize Him.   A people of the covenant continued to look away from God, to turn their eyes inwardrather than see the glory of God about them. And then we hear our gospel: where the Lord again is in our midst.   He rests near the well of His ancestors while He prepares to give a revelation of Himselfnot to a Jew or a man, as was the custombut to a pagan and a woman.   He doesn't care about stereotypes or taboos, but rather He chooses one who will hear Him…receive Him…understand Him. Now, He came to this deep well because He was thirsty.  And as the woman approaches, she treats Him with contempt…only later to have her eyes opened that she may call Him Sir, and Prophet, and Messiah.   Yes, the Lord is thirsty for such a profession!   His lack of bucket means that the thirst He experiences is a thirst for intimacy, relationship, faith, acceptance…His thirst is for conversions & believers…just like the Samaritan woman who is before Him! And the water He is willing to provide is... --- ### Bulletin March 3 2013 - Published: 2013-03-03 - Modified: 2013-03-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-march-3-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Bulletin_March_3_2013. pdf --- ### 2013-03-03 Stewardship Ministry Fair - Published: 2013-03-02 - Modified: 2013-03-02 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/event/2013-03-03-stewardship-ministry-fair/ - Categories: Event Stewardship Ministry Fair Join fellow parishioners on Sunday March 3rd, anytime from 9:30am to 12:30pm, to see the various ministries in which we can all be involved, from liturgical & pastoral ministries to faith formation & service ministries.   And to entice you a bit: visit one of our tables and talk with any of our ministry representatives and you can enter into a drawing to win a $100 Target® gift card!

Y. , in 1934, Bishop Capistran F. Heim, OFM, has served the Prelacy of Itaituba, Brazil for eight years. He came to know about St. Francis as a boy, taught by Franciscan Sisters of Allegany, and later as a meat cutter where Franciscan friars did their shopping. In 1954 I was drafted into the Army as the Korean war was winding down. I served almost two years in southern California and left the service with a four-year college scholarship under the GI Bill of Rights. I thought of becoming a veterinarian and enrolled in biology courses at Siena College, where Holy Name Province friars taught. During my last months in the Army and my first semester at Siena, the idea of a priestly vocation kept popping up. I banished it, trying to convince myself that I would one day be a veterinarian. Around the beginning of the second semester, the province's vocation director came to Siena to speak to us about the vocation to the priesthood and to religious life. It was the last straw! In a matter of half a year, veterinary medicine ceased to be a priority in my life. I was soon on my way toward an adventure that has lasted almost 40 years and is still going on. In the years of formation for the... --- ### Homily: Thanksgiving for Benedict XVI - Published: 2013-02-28 - Modified: 2013-02-28 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/homily-thanksgiving-for-benedict-xvi/ - Categories: Fr.

It is a great weight that You place on my shoulders, but, if You ask me, at your word I will throw out the nets, sure that you will guide me" and the Lord really has guided me. He has been close to me: daily could I feel His presence. I have felt like St. Peter with the Apostles in the boat on the Sea of Galilee: the Lord has given us many days of sunshine and gentle breezes, days in which the catch has been abundant; then there have been times when the seas were rough and the wind against us - and... --- ### Bulletin February 24 2013 - Published: 2013-02-24 - Modified: 2013-02-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-24-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Bulletin_February_24_2013. pdf --- ### Prayer's Reward - Published: 2013-02-24 - Modified: 2013-02-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/prayers-reward/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog We're 10 days into Lent and we might benefit from taking stock of the experience.   Have you found it challenging?   Have there been any new temptations?   Have you learned anything new about yourself, or others, or the world around us?   Have prayer, penance, acts of charity and sharing alms revealed anything new to you?   If so, Lent is going well…and you're in good company.   For my part, my prayer is going alrighta few ups and a few downs; there are a few more temptations, but that's to be expected when we fast from distractions; my acts of charity are going well and sharing money with the poor is also up.   So, as I take stock in Lent so far, my prayer is the thing that's not going as I had hoped.   Again, I may be in good company. In today's gospel, Jesus goes up Mount Tabor to pray.   Remember in Scripture, mountaintops are places where God reveals Himself in some way.   So far, Jesus' public ministryfilled with callings, with healings and with miracleshas divided many and already He is becoming a threat to the Pharisees and the religious rulers.   At this point now, there is a decision to make: will Jesus journey to Jerusalem to make a stand against the religious rulers, or will He retreat?   As He prays, Moses and Elijah appear with Him and we hear that they speak of Jerusalem as Jesus' passage…a word meaning either liberation and freedom, or death.   Moses (the recipient of the Law... --- ### Newsletter March 2013 - Published: 2013-02-24 - Modified: 2013-02-24 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/newsletter/newsletter-march-2013/ - Categories: Newsletter The March 2013 edition of the newsletter is ready: Newsletter http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Newsletter_March_2013. pdf --- ### Bulletin February 17 2013 - Published: 2013-02-17 - Modified: 2013-02-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-17-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Bulletin_February_17_2013. pdf --- ### Our 'Center' Must Be "Goodness" Itself - Published: 2013-02-17 - Modified: 2013-02-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/our-center-must-be-goodness-itself/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog This week's unexpected and nearly-unprecedented announcement by Pope Benedict XVI that he will abdicate the papacy at the end of this month is just now settling in to the hearts and minds of millions of Catholics throughout the world.   While many feelings, thoughts and questions abound, I wonder if we might reflect for a moment on the examples of humility and abandonment that Pope Benedict is offering to us and to the world. So many of usmyself very much includedseek power and prestige, do we not?   Most of us, when given the opportunity, will seek our own interests first and then, maybe, seek the interests of others.   I am considering the issue of leadership on the national level and I truly cannot find many examples of political rulers abdicating the power of their throne, rather so many of themeven todayabuse the power that has been entrusted to them; not many industrial leaders will simply walk away from the corporation that's making millions of dollars no matter what its ethical practices; few philanthropists give away their fortune to charity while still alive. And with many other examples, we can see that Pope Benedict's decision is fairly unique: he is handing over the prestige of his popularity, the publicity of his holy way of live, the power of his office as Peter's successor…all to enter into a cloistered existence, removed from the public for the remainder of his days, to humbly pray for the good of the Church and all of her... --- ### LENT: "Retreat From" and "Retreat Into" - Published: 2013-02-12 - Modified: 2013-02-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/lent-retreat-from-and-retreat-into/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog I've always been intrigued by stories and movies of battles: maybe fantastical myths of Jason and the Argonauts or Sinbad; of battles throughout the development of the Roman Empire and of Europe; of our own growth as a union of States.   In each of those stories, there is always one scene where the sounding of "retreat" is issued to the troops: they are instructed to "pull back" and retreat from present positions of danger and probable defeat…to retreat into safer ground, into a place to re-group, recover, and re-assess how to move forward once again. As Lent falls upon us today; as we begin a forty day journey of retreat, I would like to invite you to reflect with me on what it is we might "retreat from" and then what it isor who it iswe might "retreat into".   Just take the last three or four months, and we'll quickly see what we might best retreat from: Our country saw a great divide in our recent national elections, the likes of which we have not seen before; Our own fellow citizens saw devastation all around them as the waves and winds of Hurricane Sandy caused destruction that can still be evidenced across the shores of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut; Economic irresponsibility and recklessness continues to shape our financial uncertainty, both as a nation and as individuals and families; Violence continues to grip our nation and our world as wars abound, individuals ravage, nations take siege, and innocent victims... --- ### Bulletin February 10 2013 - Published: 2013-02-10 - Modified: 2013-02-10 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-10-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Bulletin_February_10_2013. pdf --- ### "Put Out Into the Deep" - Published: 2013-02-09 - Modified: 2013-02-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/put-out-into-the-deep/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Earlier this week, a friend of minea 47-year old surgeonwas honored because of his role as a Catholic medical missionary.   After 10 years serving in Kenya, he has now been in Sudan for the last four years, the only medical doctor for hundreds of miles, he has performed nearly 1,000 surgeries on the poor, the war-torn injured and dying. When war broke out, he was advised by his superiors to flee, but he did not.   His answer, "what should I do?   Just leave them?   This is when they need me most, and this is when I need God with me most! " The archbishop of the Sudan traveled to New York this week to give witness to this young man's generosity to the Sudanese, his selfless and tireless missionary work for a people who have nothing.   And yet, the doctor's response was that he was merely doing what he could, and God was doing the rest, the great, the ministry. In all three of our readings today, we witness that God is doing all of the work: through Isaiah who allows the Lord to send him; through Paul who, though weak, still responds to God's invitation; through Peter who, though ‘a sinful man', still follows the command of the Master to "put out into the deep". All three of our scriptural characters acknowledge that they are not well-suited for the tasks for which God is calling them, but apparently, they needn't be.   The only skills they must possess are humility (the... --- ### Bulletin February 04 2013 - Published: 2013-02-03 - Modified: 2013-02-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-february-04-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Bulletin_-_February_4_2013. pdf --- ### To Be Admonished May Be God's Gift to Us - Published: 2013-02-02 - Modified: 2013-02-02 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/to-be-admonished-may-be-gods-gift-to-us/ - Categories: Fr.

They wanted favoritism from Jesus, but failed to realize that God has not favorites. Jesus tells them that as a prophet, his mission is not merely to benefit his own people, but to do God's Will. The primary duty of the prophet is to call all people to hear and repent…to be the voice of Almighty God.   Moreover, that they refuse to see Him for who He really is does not confound Him, for those outside of faith hear Him and believe in Him.   Yet, the people are furious and immediately seek to destroy this One who speaks words that condemn their attitudes. But Jesus is merely speaking truth, is He not?   Why then want to destroy Him? Well, consider our own attitudes: when someone speaks words of correction to us, don't we often rebel against them?   A superior chastises us for some wrongdoing, yet don't we become angry with them instead of head their advice and instruction?   What about when a teacher gives us a failing grade on a test?   We get angry at the teacher don't we?   Or a police officer gives us a ticket: isn't one of our responses to become... --- ### Bulletin January 27 2013 - Published: 2013-01-27 - Modified: 2013-01-27 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-27-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Bulletin_January_27_2013. pdf --- ### God Is Indeed Knowable - Published: 2013-01-27 - Modified: 2013-01-27 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/god-is-indeed-knowable/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog This past week opened up the spring semester at Siena College and I met thirty new students in my course on Catholicism.   We spent the first three hours of our class discussing these few questions: first, does God exist; second, if God exists, is He knowable; third, if God exists and is knowable, then is He known?   One of the reasons I begin this way is to get a sense of where the students are coming from and, second, to see if they can think and speak rhetorically.   As usual, they did very well.   That's not to say none of them had questions or even rebuttals, but without appealing to faith, we were able to progress nicely during our first session. One common thread that flowed throughout our eveningas it does each semesteris the impression I had that many of the students wanted proof of God's existence.   Don't get me wrong: I love it when students pose critical questions and thoughtful problems, but the fact still remains that many of them wanted proof.   Contrast these contemporary souls with those from our first reading.   All of the peoplenot most or some, but alllistened intently to the Law of God.   Showing the scroll of the Law, all of the people rose.   With that, all of them then prostrated themselves before the Law and hid their faces.   Why?   Clearly they held that not only did God exist, but God was revealing HimselfHis very selfin the Law of the covenant.   As the Law was... --- ### A visit of the Magi - Published: 2013-01-21 - Modified: 2013-01-21 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/a-visit-of-the-magi/ - Categories: Photo Gallery --- ### Bulletin January 20 2013 - Published: 2013-01-20 - Modified: 2013-01-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-20-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Bulletin_January_20_2013. pdf --- ### H2O Project - 2013 - Published: 2013-01-17 - Modified: 2013-01-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/video/h2o-project-2013/ - Categories: Video --- ### Bulletin January 13 2013 - Published: 2013-01-13 - Modified: 2013-01-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-13-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Bulletin_-_January_13_2013. pdf --- ### The Baptism of the Lord - Published: 2013-01-13 - Modified: 2013-01-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/the-baptism-of-the-lord/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog This past Monday evening, the junior high school students in our faith formation program were asked the first question about baptism.   Nothing at all theoretical, but very, very practical and particular to each one of them: "on what day were you baptized? "  We didn't ask what powers flow from baptism, what anointing take place at baptism, why Christ was baptized since He is God…no, none of these questions, simply if they knew the day on which the rest of their lives would be changed forever.   Let's be honest, few, if any of us, recall the particular date because, quite frankly, the date isn't important.   What IS important is WHAT happened to us at baptism and WHY, isn't it?   And that answer begins with today's scriptures. We hear the prophecy of Isaiah in today's first reading that Justice will be borne by One who Himself is the Lord's servant, God's chosen one, with whom He is well pleased. This One, once revealed, will take all others burdens and lay them upon His own shoulders, thus restoring what was lost or stolen.   This prophecy, this prefigurement needs only to be fulfilled.   And from our second reading, Peter details such a restored justice in the times of the early Christian community, does he not?   He says, "God shows no partiality…everyone, everyone who is ‘just', is acceptable in the sight of God. "  So,... --- ### Our Response to "The Gift of God" - Published: 2013-01-07 - Modified: 2013-01-07 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/our-response-to-the-gift-of-god/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog As soon as they became aware of the appearance of the star, the Magi at once, without asking any questions, made preparations to seek out their Redeemer.   So powerfully did they feel impelled, so ardent was their desire to arrive at the place revealed by the star, they did not delay a moment.   The Magi set out because of a deep desire which prompted them to leave everything and begin the journey they had been waiting for, and upon seeing the star, they followed.   They came from the darkness of unbelief to the knowledge of true faith, and thus they are fathers for us in our faith, aren't they? Our response to the Father's offer of salvationthe offer made by the birth of His Son in our midstour response to His offer must be that of the Magi: for by offering gold they proclaim Christ's kingship, by offering incense they adore His divinity, and by offering myrrh they acknowledge His mortality…that he will die.   By offering of these great gifts, the Magi are holding nothing back from Him that is rightly His in the first place.   They are more and more free now, convinced that their King and God is in their midst, fulfilling His ancient promise…and they turn themselves over to Him. The Magi see Him for who He is and they respond.   In fact, creation responds as well: when the king of heaven was born, the heavens knew that He was God for they immediately sent forth a... --- ### Bulletin January 6 2013 - Published: 2013-01-06 - Modified: 2013-01-06 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-january-6-2013/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Bulletin_-_January_6_2013. pdf --- ### Bulletin December 30 2012 - Published: 2012-12-30 - Modified: 2012-12-30 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-december-30-2012/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Bulletin_-_December_30_2012. pdf --- ### The Feast of the Holy Innocents and the Salve of the Christ Child - Published: 2012-12-29 - Modified: 2012-12-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/the-feast-of-the-holy-innocents-and-the-salve-of-the-christ-child/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog "It is fitting that we honor the little and very innocent children and their teachers whose lives were tragically taken from us just a few short weeks ago in a small school in Sandy Hook.   We honor them and pray fervently for their entry into heaven as we, today, keep the festival of those thousands of little Innocents who gave of their lives two thousand years ago in Bethlehem, in defense of the Christ child.   Beyond this, there isn't much that can be said to soothe the hearts of all who mourn each of these deaths. You recall the three gifts brought to the Christ child by the magi?   Gold, frankincense and myrrh, but it is this third gift that might give us some consolation.   Myrrh, a rare spice most often found in the form of ointment that was used to embalm the body of one who has died.   Even at his earthly birth, the Christ child promptly receives the precious gift that will surely be needed at the horrendous conclusion of his thirty-three short years.   But the gift is not for him: it is now destined to be offered by him to be the balm, the salve,... --- ### Encounter, in Spite of Awkwardness - Published: 2012-12-23 - Modified: 2012-12-23 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/encounter-in-spite-of-awkwardness/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog This past Monday evening, about 160 of you gathered with 6 priests and celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation.   For some it's a practice that you exercise a couple times a year; for others maybe a little less often; and for others, maybe it had been a much longer while.   But for almost all, there is a feeling of awkwardness isn't there?   Maybe shame is the source of apprehension; maybe not feeling the full sorrow one really wants to feel makes it difficult; maybe fear of reprimand adds to the anxiety…no matter what, as penitents, oftentimes we feel awkward approaching the sacrament.   Yet, after the service was completed, several of you said how beautiful it was for you: a real source of peace and grace; a palpable sense of freedom and liberation; a sure source of comfort leading to renewed joy.   And several confessors were so pleased that folks really approached the sacrament looking for forgiveness and a fresh start this Advent.   What great spiritual gifts for us! From this, we can see that although there may be an awkwardness, the decision to simply jump over it and have an encounter with the Lord pays off.   Maybe another example will help: two weeks ago I was at the food market and ran into a parishioner that I hadn't seen for a few months.   Knowing she would be in an awkward position, I simply went up to her, gave a hug, andin my usual stylejust started yapping.   Turns out, she was able... --- ### Bulletin December 23 2012 - Published: 2012-12-22 - Modified: 2012-12-22 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-december-23-2012/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Bulletin_-_December_23_2012. pdf --- ### Bulletin December 16 2012 - Published: 2012-12-17 - Modified: 2012-12-17 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-december-16-2012/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Bulletin_-_December_16_2012. pdf --- ### What Should We Do? - Published: 2012-12-16 - Modified: 2012-12-16 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/what-should-we-do/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog  "What should we do? " was the question posed to John the Baptist as he preached to crowds, toll collectors and soldiers: to those who were longing in their hearts for the coming of the messiah, John encouraged them to live righteously in the everyday circumstances in which they would find themselves. "What should we do? " was the question so many of us asked when just 14 days ago, teenagers Chris Stewart and Deanna Rivers were innocently returning from a basketball game and were killed in a traumatic car accident on the Northway.   They were living righteously, so "what should we do? " "What should we do? " was the question every one of us muttered on Friday as we heard the horrific and senseless tragedy unfold in Newtown, Connecticut.   Our beautiful children were living innocently… so "what should we do? " And for one family just yesterday, as they prepared to face the death of their beloved dad and husbanda pillar of a man, with great virtue and constancythey cried out silently "what should we do? "  And with that plea, they called for me to anoint him for a last time; they asked for the Church to pray with them, and for them, and for him. These are but a few of the many, many times we might find such a question in our hearts or on our lips.   It's an age-old concern, but not without a response.   When the people came to John with this very question, he gives them the most... --- ### The Feast of St. Nicholas - Published: 2012-12-09 - Modified: 2012-12-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/the-feast-of-st-nicholas/ - Categories: Photo Gallery All the young children and their parents were invited to celebrate the Feast of St. Nicholas on Thursday, December 6, 2012 6:00PM in the church.

David's Blog Last weekend, I shared numerous suggestions for each of us to engage in during this Advent Season in order to make the most of these short weeks (for example, blessing Advent wreaths and calendars as we did last Sunday, blessing straw for the manger and the Christmas tree that we are doing this morning, blessing bambinelli next Sunday, and so on).   And here's the reason why: earlier, during our opening prayer for today's Mass, we prayed, "Almighty Father, may no earthly undertaking hinder us, who set out in haste to meet your Son. "  We are seeking to move toward Christ with haste.   But there are so many earthly undertakings that can hinder us, aren't there?   The winding turns of roadways that take us from this shopping center to another; the rough ways that have us scrambling to this party or that engagement; the deep valleys that provide all sorts of distractions in decorating, cleaning, cooking, mailing, and so much more…all of these things done in the name of preparing for the Christmas feast, but these might just hinder us. Fly, instead, as the crow flies; make a bee line for the Christ!   Cooperate with God's promises from the prophets Baruch and Isaiah; from our current paths, from our present endeavors, we are invited to stop, lay them all aside…as we set out on a new path and move with great haste to meet the Christ. This is the purpose for leveling mountains: to ease our haste.

When I was growing up, I recall that the Advent season was filled with hustle & bustle: not shopping for Christmas gifts (we were a regular family with modest means).   No, our preparing in Advent centered around the traditions of my family: My mom and dad would stock our family's Advent calendar with goodies: maybe small tokens or pieces of candy or some coins…little things that piqued our curiosities each morning when we would open the window or slide the hatch and discover the day's trinkets. On the first Sunday of Advent, my dad and mom would bless our fresh wreath and candles before supper, and while lighting that candle on successive nights we would sing "O come, O come Emmanuel"…okay it wasn't pretty but it had an impact on us kids: our waiting was active, looking for One who was to come.

While Jesus is eager to draw this Roman patrician close to his heart; while all the conditions are right for Pilate to detect in Jesus the God for whom his own heart longs…he doesn't.   He is in the same room with Jesusconcentrated & without interruptionspeaking with Jesus alone…yet, he remains unmoved, untouched. Why? "Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.

David's Blog I wonder if it might be good to consider the two different widows we find in today's first reading and gospel.   In doing so, we'll consider the activity of both the widows and of God…and find a possible pattern for us to follow. Both widows are destitute…like all widows in ancient societies.   They have no one to care for them, no one to protect them, no one to house them…basically, outcasts: unloved, unwanted, completely disconnected from husband and community.   In fact, from the first half of our gospel, we hear of a new abuse overtaking widows of Jesus' time: some scribes devouring widow's homes, perhaps living in their homes and acting as their guardians, under the pretense of piety, all the while supporting their aberrant tastes for wealth and power…a further denigration of the helpless and the lonely. Elijah approaches one widow, and even upon hearing of her plight in a year-long drought, he still asks her to bring him water and the little food she has left.   And she does!   Amazing isn't it?   But why does she do so?   She is placing all of her trustand her livelihoodin the promise given by the Lord, the God of Israel, to keep her jug of oil and jar of flour filled until He sends rain upon the earth.   And God remains faithful to His promise and the widow and her son are kept close to Elijah, close to the Lord always.

In the heat of ugly political conflicts, we can easily lose sight of our real vocation as Christians: holiness. We're called to be in the world but not of the world.  Powers and nations including our own sooner or later pass away.  But God's word does not pass away.  Neither does the witness of the holy men and women we call saints, and whose memory we celebrate on All Saints Day and throughout the month of November. Politics is important.  But in the end, all of the passion, all of the egos and even all of the issues in this election will fade.  In the end, for each one of us:  the only thing that matters is to be a saint... . That was the goal of Kateri Tekakwitha, Marianne Cope, Issac Jogues and so many others from right here in our own diocese.   And while we can be proud of our local heritage, we can never be content with sainthood as part of our past.   God made each of us to be saints.   That means you and me.   The hunger for holiness needs to animate every moment of our lives today, right now, and into the future.

David's Blog In today's gospel, Bartimaeus demonstrates a faith that can heal him.   He cries out to the Lord as the Lord!   Yes, he believes already in the great power of God in his midst and he beseeches Him.   But the power the Lord displays is really flowing from Bartimaeus' faith.   He already possesses that which can heal him, set him free, open him up to proclaim the goodness of God. This monthand continuing for the next 12 months, we are invited to enter into a YEAR OF FAITH.   From the power of faith demonstrated by Bartimaeus, we witness that faith has the power to heal us, transform us, give us sight and insight…and so much more.   Throughout this year, we are invited to re-capture and re-kindle the fire of faith within us and around us: a faith that flows from God, through the Church, and into our world and our daily lives.   As we are reinvigorated, we then also let our faith spill out into the world around us, thus enlivening faith in others who witness our profession and our action and our very being. Clearly, one of the agents of faith today is through the priesthood of Jesus Christ: yes, some serve at the Altarbeset by weakness, needing purification and renewal, called to make offerings for many (cf. second reading from the Epistle to the Hebrews); but each and every one of us who have been baptized take on the mission of evangelization…being agents who bring the gospelthe Good Newsto... --- ### Annual Parish Gala & Auction - Published: 2012-10-22 - Modified: 2012-10-23 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/annual-parish-gala-auction/ - Categories: Photo Gallery Saturday, October 20, 2012 5:00pm - 9:00pm Hilton Garden Inn, Hoosick Street, Troy Gala Details (Listing of auction items, thank yous, sponsor list) --- ### Sts.

David's Blog St. Kateri Tekakwitha Born in 1656 in that part of the American Continent which is today the State of New York, her parents were native Indians.   Her father, an Iroquois, was pagan; her mother, an Algonquin, was a devote Christian.   When she was four years old, Catherine lost her parents and her only brother to an epidemic of smallpox.   She too contracted the disease and, although she survived, her face was left severely pockmarked. Finding a home in the family of her uncle, a chief of the tribe of Agniers, more commonly known as the Mohawks, she was brought up in that tribe.   While living among the Mohawks, she received instruction in the faith and was baptized in 1676 by Father Jacques de Lamberville, one of the devoted Jesuit missionaries committed to the evangelization of the Indians.   After becoming a Christian, Catherine soon became a model of youthful piety. Unfortunately, she was a target of harassment and persecution at home because of her faith and her determination to live in virginity.   On the advice of the missionaries, who thought she should move to friendlier surroundings, she came to live among the fervent Christian Indians of the settlement known as the Mission of St. Francis Xavier, near present-day Montreal.   Here she made great progress in a short time along the road of holiness.   And here she died on 17 April 1680, widely known and esteemed by all as a saint.   Her last words: "Jesus, I love you". This young Iroquois woman,... --- ### Bulletin October 21 2012 - Published: 2012-10-20 - Modified: 2012-10-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/bulletin/bulletin-october-21-2012/ - Categories: Bulletin If you're having trouble viewing the bulletin, or to print your own copy, please click here. http://wp1333. wp3-o1. pgservers. com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/October_21_2012. pdf --- ### Blessing of Animals - Published: 2012-10-11 - Modified: 2012-10-11 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/photo-gallery/blessing-of-animals/ - Categories: Photo Gallery --- ### Mirror the Loving Trinity - Published: 2012-10-07 - Modified: 2012-10-07 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/mirror-the-loving-trinity/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog Unfortunately, some of us who are divorced and/or separatedeven widowedmight hear these readings this weekend and walk away with a great pain.   Thus, I've got to take this opportunity to comfort each one of us when we hear Christ's stinging words this morning; so that we hear His challenge and His invitation. We heard in our first reading the painful reality of the first man: he was alone, without a suitable helpmate.   Even given all the other creatures God had made, this one man found no companion, no remedy to his isolation.   And clearly, this made sense, did it not? Even God himself is a communion of persons, is He not?   The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit in constant, loving, life-giving relationship.   And because man is made in God's image and likeness, he too is destined for such relationships of self-giving and receiving.   And so he mustby his very natureovercome his isolation and alone-ness.   God sees this and responds: by taking this first man and making woman from his very being, the man begins what will be the human project for all of time: from his isolation he reaches outward to share himself with another; to give from his very life in order that another may have life.   And from his so doing, God is then able to replicate, to duplicate, to propagate His own life of love and relationship in humankind. It's only from this understanding that we can now hear Christ's words for what they... --- ### May Nothing Hold Us Back - Published: 2012-09-29 - Modified: 2012-09-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/may-nothing-hold-us-back/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog One hundred years ago, in a small province of China, a band of militia invaded and captured a group of 120 Christiansincluding 14-year old Anna Wangand gave them the ultimatum: "The government has banned the practice of Western religions, including Catholicism.   If you renounce your religion, you will be set free; if you refuse, we will kill you. " Anna's stepmother renounced the faith and thus was able to live.   But Anna refused, saying: "I believe in God.   I am a Christian.   I do not renounce God. "  The following morning she was led to her execution. When her time came, after witnessing the horrible executions of others before her, Anna was kneeling in prayer.   One of the soldiers gave her the option again: "Give up your faith and you will live. " At first Anna was silent, but at the soldier's insistence, she cried out: "I am a Christian.   I prefer to die rather than give up my faith. "  The soldier then cut off her right arm, and asked her again, "Do you deny your religion? "  Anna was silent.   When he struck her again, she was heard to say: "The door of heaven is open" and she lowered her head.   With that, the executioner decapitated her.   At the innocent age of 14, Anna Wang was martyredkilled for her faith. I share this true, historically factual account because, clearly, Anna's life and deathher faithful witnessproved that she clung to nothing else, so that she might cling to eternal life.

It asserts that liturgy is a celebration of Christ's paschal mystery. Our full, conscious and active participation in liturgy is vital since liturgy is the source and summit of our whole Christian life. Why many vernacular languages (the languages people actually use) rather than one sacred language (Latin)? After the Council, in the interests of enhancing the full participation of the entire assembly at worship, the Catholic Church authorized the use of the vernacular, the languages of the people for its liturgy. The results have been overwhelmingly positive. The vernacular has allowed the faithful to pray with greater understanding, to find deeper spiritual connections between the Tradition of the Church and their daily lives, and to formulate a voice and style of worship that fits the challenges and blessings of their day. This "new" idea seemed to change centuries of liturgical tradition. But under the guidance of Popes John XXIII and Paul VI, the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council actually restored an ancient practice of praying in the language of the people. To be sure, some in the Church and outside it lamented the loss of Latin from the liturgy, but the experience of Sunday worshipers in parish churches around the world has shown that the decision in favor of the vernacular was truly... --- ### Video Explanation: Roman Missal III - Published: 2012-09-25 - Modified: 2012-09-25 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/video/video-explanation-roman-missal-iii/ - Categories: Video Teen video breaks down coming changes in the language of the liturgy Here's a nice, simple and direct summary of what's happening with the new English translation of the Roman Missal.

David's Blog, Parish Content Recently, I met with two engineers to discuss the possibility of air conditioning the church.   In the process of that meeting, I asked whether or not the system that they were proposing would cost more to run than a different system.   One of the engineers said that, while it might be hard for me to imagine, it would be less expensive.   I agreed: it was hard for me to imagine that larger machinery would take up less electricity to run.   He started to explain, "it has to do with their veers…" and at that I stopped him.   See, I know my limits and, quite frankly I believed him.   I knew that while I might be able to learn a few more tid bits, it wasn't worth my investment of brain power: I wouldn't comprehend half of the stuff he was saying and, in fact, I already trusted the information to be true. Maybe another illustration of the same principle: I do not understand all of the issues involved in proving how gravity works, but I believe it does actually work.   I'm willing to put faith in it without having a deeper understanding of its reality. With those two illustrations now mentioned, I do not believe that the same can be said about issues of faith today.   In today's way of thinking, in today's world, while people believe in the expertise of engineers and the theory of gravityeven without having firsthand knowledge or proofthey do not approach faith the same way.  ... --- ### Resisting Tepidity - Published: 2012-08-26 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/resisting-tepidity/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content After hearing John's gospel for the last five weeks, many murmur, "This saying is hard; who can accept it? "  Not many can accept the sayings of Jesus, unfortunately, but that is not our roleto seek so much as to know the saying; no, our role is seek to know the Say-er…the One sent by God as the Way, the Truth and the Life.   That's our goal, isn't it? So often nowadays, people only accept what they can understand about Jesus, what they can relate with about Him: that is to say, many have no difficulty acknowledging that Jesus was a good man, a human person of wisdom and insight.   And while that is certainly true, the most important thing to know about Jesus is that He is divine. The Gospel of Johnfrom which today's exchange comesbegan with, "In the beginning was the Word…".   It is this word of God that became flesh in Jesus Christ, thus bearing God's own life for all of us to know, to hear, to love. So, a question comes to mind, doesn't it?   Is He really?   Is this Jesus really divine? Throughout the gospels we are given the evidence, but even more, St. Paul's letters are emphatic.   St. Paula powerfully phenomenal Jew of the first century who studied under the great Rabbi Gamalieltime and time again, over and over refers to Jesus as "Lord".   This is not so peculiar to us today, but to the people of Paul's era, it was unheard of, simply because... --- ### My Flesh is True Food - Published: 2012-08-20 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/my-flesh-is-true-food/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content Just a few days ago, we enjoyed our 13th Annual Golf Classic.   The day couldn't have been any better, except for one small detail: my dog Mimo was pent-up in the rectory for almost 11 hours all by herself.   I knew she wouldn't be pleased with me when I got home so in anticipation of ‘the cold shoulder', I brought her a rib bone from the banquet.   I opened the door and while she wanted to ignore me completely, she couldn't help catching the scent from the doggy-bag.   I gave her the bone and she ran outside to a small dirt patch to enjoy her treat.   Noticing how dirty it had become I grabbed it and threw it on the lawn, at which point, she ran over and started to roll all over it!   She didn't want to simply enjoy the bits on the bone, but she wanted to gnaw on it, savor it, dig deep into the treasured marrow and, when asleep, dream of the scents wafting from her coated coat! In today's gospel, Jesus is continuing what is known as His "bread of life discourse".   Over and over, Jesus is trying to teach His followers of the necessity to eat His flesh and drink His bloodtrue food and drink with everlasting value and reward.   But, He did more than invite them to "eat" as we often do (even our ancestors merely "ate" the manna of the desert and still they died).   Jesus invited them to "eat" His flesh,... --- ### Our Basic Need - Published: 2012-08-07 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/our-basic-need/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content When I was in my first year of seminary in Italy, I decided that my eyeglass prescription really needed to be adjusted.   Of course, the advice from some of the local alumni was to "be sure to go to Dr. TWA" (aka Trans World Airlines! ).   Anyway, I went and told the doctorwith my very sketchy Italian skills at the timethat I wanted to be able to see better.   After awhile and several gestures, he seemed to understand and he sat me down in the chair and started to apply different lenses, asking me to read the chart.   At one point, he asked, "meglio? " (which translates, "better? ").   "Si" I replied, to which he abruptly stood, clapped his hands and declared, "va bene! " and decided that he had done his job completely.   Eventually, I got my new prescription and it wasn't merely "better", but close to perfect. The immediate need that I had expressed was the cause of our confusion.   I had said that I wanted to be able to see "better" or "meglio", and his response was appropriate.   But what I really wanted, with the help of an updated eyeglass prescription, was to have my eyesight brought to 40/40.   I had expressed an immediate need, not realizing that I should have been expressing my ultimate, final need. In today's gospel, the crowds who were fed the loaves and fish are now hungry again, and naturally, are seeking Jesus in order to have their hunger satisfied.   But what they didn't realize was... --- ### The COMPASSION of Jesus - Published: 2012-07-22 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/the-compassion-of-jesus/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content Last weekend's gospel demonstrated the compassion of Jesus as he sent the apostles out in pairs to nurture the souls of those whom He wished to share His life.   By their preaching, witness and miraculous works, the apostles are able to return to the Master and report ‘good news' about all they had done.   Jesus' compassion was fruitful! This weekend, we find another demonstration of Jesus' compassion when, even in the midst of so many coming to receive the graceful ministry of the apostles, Jesus directs them to come away with Him to a deserted place for rest.   Even when they could continue to minister in His name, it is important for His followers to enjoy a sacred rest with Him.   Yes, the need to nurture others and to care for their needs will always be with us and surround us, still the Lord asks us to retreat with Him in our holy labors. And in case we tend to think that everything depends on us, look at what the Good Shepherd does as the apostles rest: He nurtures; He consoles; He teaches from His own compassion.   Yes, we quickly realize that when we minister in the name of Jesus Christ, then He is the source and foundation of all the good that flows through us.   Thus we gather each Sunday, to rest from the labors we have accomplished and to thank God for His mighty arm that has guided our efforts; and then, to seek the Lord's continuing and... --- ### The Necessity for FAITH - Published: 2012-07-08 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/the-necessity-for-faith/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content This week we find Jesus powerless to work miracles, a most unlikely situation. He came to his home-town, Nazareth, the Gospel says, and "he was not able to perform any mighty deed there, apart from curing a few sick people by laying his hands on them. " Why not? Who took away his power? The answer has to do with the words Jesus often said to people that he healed: "your faith has saved you. "* At first glance, this saying has to be false. If "faith" were all it took to save me, then there would be no need at all for God or Jesus or the Holy Spirit. Just squeeze out an act of faith and you have all you need. Obviously it is necessary to take a look at what "Faith" is all about. The following words of the Catechism get more directly at the meaning of the word as Jesus used it. Faith is a personal actthe free response of the human person to the initiative of God who reveals himself (₱166). Faith in this sense refers to an interaction between ourselves and God, a relationship steeped in trust and love. If a man said to his wife, "I have no faith in you anymore," and if he meant it, the relationship between the two would be over. The same goes for the faith we are talking about here. To trust in God, to receive his love and respond to it, this is the deepest meaning of faith... . --- ### NEW LIFE from humble faith - Published: 2012-07-01 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/new-life-from-humble-faith/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content The thread woven throughout our gospel this weekend…is a thread of LIFE, born from faith and humility. Yes, new life is seen sprouting forth from both Jairus' daughter and the woman with the hemorrhage.   Both were staring at the glare of death…like we do so often, don't we?   Each one of us can understand this painful, human situation because we've either watched a loved one slowly lose life, or we ourselves have experienced the drain of a life-threatening illness.   We can all identify, then, with the desperation of the father, Jairus, or of the old woman.   Both are staring death in the face. And as they stare at death, they catch sight of Jesus…the Lord of life.   Both Jairus and the woman, each in their own way, receive a spirit of humility as they approach Christ: Jairus falls at Jesus' feet, while the woman secretly approaches from behind.   And from their humility, both then demonstrate faith…thus, both have their wish for healing granted.   A moment earlier, death was encroaching upon them, but in an instant of humble faith and petition, death is turned back. This week, let us strive to reach out and grasp the gift of life offered by the Lord.   Like Jairus and the old woman, we too can approach the almighty and find the generous offer of life.   All we need do is muster the humility and faith necessary to reach out to Christ's abundant love…for such faith leads to our salvation. --- ### Corpus Domini - Published: 2012-06-11 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/corpus-domini/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content (after a short 2-week hiatus during our Italian pilgrimage, I returned to celebrate the Solemnity of Corpus Christi at the parish.   Here, first, are some of my reflections given at Mass; following, is a brief history of the development of this week's solemnity) Guilt by Association When I was young, my parents--as well as the parents of all of my friends--always wanted to know who we were hanging around with and what we were up to.   Positively stated, they would chide, "show me who your friends are, and I'll show you who you are"; negatively put, "there's guilt by association".   In other words, what--and who--we surround ourselves with is very important in our overall development, maturity, growth and influence.   Yes, clearly the environment in which we live and move and have our being is significantly influential in forming us as persons throughout our lives. The Corpus Domini procession, in a miniature from one of the liturgical codices of Santa Maria del Fiore (15th century).   In our first reading from the Book of Exodus, Moses associates the people with not only the law of Yahweh, but now the covenant He is offering them: he sprinkles the people with blood as a sign of their new-found pact.   But, clearly, the blood of bulls sprinkled upon the people did not effect any substantive change within the people.   But now, God the Father offers a new covenant, one ratified by His Son's own offering of His Sacred Body & Blood which, once ingested,... --- ### Adversity Proves Virtue - Published: 2012-05-13 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/adversity-proves-virtue/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content Adversity calls forth, perfects, improves... and proves... the presence of virtue in our lives. For example, I might think myself physically strong, but until I successfully lift something significantly heavy, I'm not convinced or sure that I really am strong. Or, I might think I'm a pretty good golfer, but when my scores are consistently higher than 110, I'm not really a good golfer, am I? And I might think I'm courageous, but unless courage is called forth from me, I really can't say for sure that I really am courageous. Get it?   Adversity presents opportunities that can demonstrate, and prove, the reality and authentic presence of virtue. Well, today our Scripture readings are encouraging us to appreciate, understand and adopt the virtue of love. "Love one another" is our Master's directive. So what is this "love"? Here's a pretty good definition: LOVE IS "desiring the Good for the other without counting the cost to one's self. " Yes, Love is a movement of my interior being which longs for another/others to be God-like, no matter how hard it is for me to assist them in accomplishing this holiness or goodness. A few caveats: first, I know that I love lots of various people throughout my everyday life, and I'm also aware of their love for me, but that's easy--there's no challenge really to love those who love us, is there? Second, consider how we love when it's not easy; when it's dangerous, painful, costly, uncomfortably, etc. What about when someone really and... --- ### Tangible Affects of the Resurrection - Published: 2012-04-15 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/tangible-affects-of-the-resurrection/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content So, as we close out this Easter Day, we might be wondering: beyond the marvelous, glorious gifts of salvation from sin (the crucifixion of Jesus) and redemption (the resurrection of Christ from the dead), are there other affects borne from the Paschal Mystery... affects that we can experience even now in our everyday?   All we need do is ponder the Sacred Scriptures we hear proclaimed this weekend in our Sacred Liturgies. Yes, on this Second Sunday of Easter--the last day of the Easter Octave--we see various, literally, tangible affects shared with the community of believers after Christ's Resurrection:  "Peace" given to the disciples; faith "proven" for a doubting Apostle; singularity of mind and heart within the people who have faith; trusting generosity among sisters and brothers... all in the name of the Risen Christ. Alleluia! --- ### Alleluia! Christ is Risen from the Dead! - Published: 2012-04-08 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/alleluia-christ-is-risen-from-the-dead/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content Easter Vigil in the Holy Night (2012) Since last SundayPalm Sunday of the Passion of the Lordand flowing profoundly during these last days, each of us have been struck by very physical happenings and experiences: from walking and waving palm branches commemorating His entrance into that Holy City, to the oils being blessed and shared with us, that we might be anointed with His balm throughout our days; from the Lord washing our feet in loving service, to receiving His Body and Blood as food for eternity; from reposing with Him in the garden, to going out with Him to Calvary where He was offered to death on a tree; from His broken body taken down from the Cross to being laid in a tomb…His last breath spent, His last act completed…or so it seemed. All of these physical happenings have had their effect on us: we moved, we walked, we heard, we sang, we saw, we prayed, we listened, we pondered and we made silence.   The experiences of these last days have haunted us, enriched us, and blessed us.   And now?   …now: we awake to see a glorious, holy fire roaring in the dusk; we watch as His Light illumines the darkness that surrounded us; we hear as stringed instruments and pipes announce He is Risen; we wash in the waters of baptism, renewed and refreshed; the balm of this great news anoints our hearts with the consolation and joy that, "He has been raised from the dead! "; our... --- ### Triptych of the Triduum - Holy Thursday - Published: 2012-04-06 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/triptych-of-the-triduum-holy-thursday/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content A triptych is an artistic series of three panels that fold together, work together simultaneously to demonstrate a singular beauty.   They are often able to open and close, revealing even more depth of meaning.   You may have seen one before: maybe of Christ's crucifixion in the center, with Mary his mother on one of the winged side panels, and John the Evangelist on the other winged side. Anyway, years ago when I was in seminary, Pope John Paul II gave a stirring reflection on the Evening Mass of the Lord's Suppera reflection replete with depth and imagery.   He spoke of the evening's ritual and Scriptures as a kind of triptych: with the Institution of the Eucharist in the center panel (tonight's second reading), flanked by the Old Testament's pre-figuration in the paschal lamb on one wing (tonight's first reading), and brotherly love and service on the other winged side (tonight's gospel story). You see, what Christ is doing on this night, was pre-figured in the Old Testament Passover feast heard in our first reading.   And when He celebrates it on this very evening, He replaces the one-year old lamb and offers Himself in its stead.   Absolutely: no animal flesh or blood would be able to save us from the Passover of death, rather One like us would need to offer His flesh and His blood; God would have to offer His own Son in order to expiate sin, in order to restore the just friendship between God and Man.   And... --- ### Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord - Published: 2012-04-01 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/palm-sunday-of-the-passion-of-the-lord/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content As we began our Masses outside today, and heard the gospel story of Christ's entrance into Jerusalem, and have now recalled the dark betrayal, passion, suffering, and ultimate death of Christ in a communal narrative, one might wonder, "What are we doing, really? ", or rather "why are we doing all of this? "  Clearly, parents of younger children are most probably hearing such questions from their children this morning.   Yes, it's good for us to consider what we're really doing at the opening of Holy Week and throughout these next sacred days. But, in order to answer questions such as these, it's good for us to recall what Jesus Christ does during Holy Week and why He does them.   The Lord enters into Jerusalem and endures the events of Holy Week in order to celebrate Passover.   Not merely the Passover of His ancestors, but His own Passover. Jesus is commemorating the Israelites' bondage in Egyptian slavery, and their Passover to freedom; their hopeless darkness and their Passover to light and new-found hope in Yahweh; their suffering and Passover into healing; their sin and Passover into God's mercy; their death, and Passover into new life found in God alone. And as Jesus commemorates that ancient, holy history, He Himself also enters into all those realities of Passover: He takes upon Himself darkness, hopelessness and sin, suffering despair and death…all so that He might Passover such things and enter into the light, the freedom, the hope and the new life of His Resurrection... --- ### True Glory - Published: 2012-03-25 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/true-glory/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content What Jeremiah anticipates in our first reading ("the days are coming"), Jesus fulfills ("Now is the time").  What is it that is anticipated and fulfilled? A new covenant with all people, a new people…now drawn to Jesus himself. In the Gospel, some Greeks ask to see Jesus.   Jesus responds by saying that anyone who loves his life will lose it; to gain your life you have to be like a grain of wheat which brings forth much fruit, but only by falling to the earth & dying. The Greeks must have been baffled.   What has this speech of Jesus' got to do with their request to see him? Jesus' response helps those Greeks to see himthe true Lord, the One who did not come to get status and power, but who came to lose his life, to fall and die, like a grain of wheat.   The point is made emphatically at the end of Jesus' response to the Greeks.   He ends with a prayer: "Father," he prays, "glorify your name. "  The true Lord came to seek God's glory, not his own. The final part of the lesson for the Greeks, and for us, comes in God's response to Jesus' prayer.   God honors Jesus by answering his prayer out loud: "I have glorified my name, and I will glorify it again! "  Yes, God's voice came to finish the lesson: God honors those who seek to honor him. In our society people often strive to gain glory for themselves, even if it means... --- ### Heartbreak - Published: 2012-03-17 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/heartbreak/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content The enemies of the Jews smash Jerusalem, as the First Reading describes it: the walls of the city are torn down; the Temple of God is burned down, and all its holy things are smashed; the people are taken captive to Babylon. Their country, their customs, their language, their cult, their Templeit's all lost. In the Psalm, there is a poignant picture of the people's heartbreak over this destruction of their home. The people who wrecked Jerusalem want the Jews to sing Hebrew songs for them. That request is the final blow. "How can we sing the Lord's songs in a strange land? ", the captive people say to themselves in their grief. The Second Reading says that God is rich in mercy and great in love. Why then doesn't God protect his people from heartbreak like this? One piece of the solution is in the Gospel Reading. God doesn't want to destroy people; he doesn't allow suffering for the sake of hurting them. Rather, God is looking for a remedy, as the First Reading puts it. God is willing to use desperate measures, even the heartbreak of his people, to save them. And not only that, but God is willing to use his own suffering too. As the Gospel says, God gave his beloved Son to save the world. Christ was betrayed by his friend, put to public shame, officially condemned, tortured, and put to death. Any one of these things is enough for sorrow, isn't it? And so, in... --- ### THE EASTER TRIDUUM: Reflections on the Upcoming Feasts - Published: 2012-03-16 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/the-easter-triduum-reflections-on-the-upcoming-feasts/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content The Easter Triduum The Easter Triduum, the "Three Days", is the celebration of the Christian Passover. Just as our Jewish ancestors gathered annually to remember the events of their release from slavery in Egypt, so too, we gather to celebrate our Passover from death to life in Christ. The Triduum is at the heart and soul of our Christian faith, commemorating the triumph of God's love over darkness and death. It's the fullest ritual expression of what it means to be a Christian. In our reliving and remembering, we're renewed and reborn along with the newly initiated members of our community. In essence, the Triduum is one great festival that lasts for three days: Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday. As with all the great feasts of the Church, the celebration begins at dusk on Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord's Supper. On Good Friday, the first full day of the Triduum, we gather to remember the Lord's Passion and Death. Saturday is a day of quiet reflection on the Entombment of Christ as we wait, like the disciples, for news of the resurrection. And finally, on Saturday night we gather in vigil and hear the amazing news that Jesus Christ, our companion and brother, is not dead, but is risen from the grave. The Triduum liturgy ends with Evening Prayer on Easter day. As we prepare the rites of the Triduum liturgy, we are afforded many opportunities to emphasize and maintain the unity of this one... --- ### Intense Zeal Consumes Him - Published: 2012-03-11 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/zeal-consumes-him/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content Our first reading from the Book of Exodus largely demonstrates God's love for us when He provides a covenant. Recalling all His mighty deedsdone on our behalfHe then invites us to enter into a holy friendship with Him. That friendship will guarantee us "freedom from slavery" and every gift we will ever need in order to be able to rest in God's company each Sabbath…each week. Such an offer can inflame us, make us grow more intense in our feeling toward God. Yes, the great covenant offered to usand maintained even to this dayproves the goodness, the wisdom, the power and the strength of God who loves so completely. And if such a demonstration were not enough for us, our Gospel gives us a further insight into God's passionate love, as seen in the person of Jesus. Bringing to mind the sentiments of the Scriptures…"Zeal for your house consumes me," as He enters the temple area. This zeal signifies an intensity of love that Jesus possesses, whereby He cannot tolerate anything that is repugnant to His love…so, to have zeal for God and for God's House finds Jesus unable to patiently endure anything contrary to the honor of God, whom He loves above all else. This is the kind of zeal we see in Jesus in today's gospel. But why is he so upset: why is He so violent in this encounter with the moneychangers? We need to step back for a moment and soak in the atmosphere…and then we... --- ### God: not merely 'with' us, but 'for' us - Published: 2012-03-04 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/god-not-merely-with-us-but-for-us/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content We're now ten days into the season of lent.   And while many of us haven't really felt the effects of Lenten discipline, some of us might need to be encouraged just a bit. In our second reading, St. Paul is emphatic: God is for us, and thus no one and no thing of any significance can be against us.   Most importantly, Christ intercedes for us, watches over us, guides and encourages us throughout our lives.   So, when we might feel ‘beat-up' or dejected, keep Him in mind. In our first reading, Abraham lets nothing stand in the way of Faith.   As unbelievable as it may seem, he's even willing to go so far as to offer his son as a sacrifice in order to re-establish and re-affirm his covenant relationship with Yahweh-God.   Unbelievably, he comes so close and with such resolve, yet God shows again his deep love: staying Abraham's hand God is fully delighted in the fact of his servant's faith.   Through such a willingness (albeit devastating and painful) to offer his own son, Abraham is blessed with the greatest of covenants, blessings and rewards. And finally, in our Gospel, Jesus is transfigured while three of his disciples look on.   These blessed bystanders are able to witness the glory that would soon flow from Christ's suffering, death, and rising.   In other words, the result of God's offering of His only Son (recall Abraham and Isaac), allows this Son to be glorified; and further, we are able to witness this,... --- ### Christ is in the Desert - Published: 2012-02-26 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/christ-is-in-the-desert/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content Just four days ago, we began this great and humbling season of Lent: our annual pilgrimageas it wereof 40 days, through which we will strive to draw closer and closer to the Lord of life.   If this is the case, where is He today that we might find Him?   In the desert…being tested and tempted…and remaining faithful always to the Father.   Christ's faithfulness is unending…thanks be to God! Well, then, where are weHis disciplesto go? On Ash Wednesday, we were covered in ashes; we accepted a seal which marked the renewal of the covenant between us and the Savior.   We chose that we should return to the dust from which we came, in order that we might rise to a new and glorious life in Christ.  Yes, sealed in dust, the covenant between us and Godthat was once made at our baptismwas furthered, continued, solidified and strengthened.   We were reminded of our promise to "believe in the gospel". And what does this gospel share with us? In our first reading, God established through Noah a great and eternal covenant.   Repeating His promise five different times, the Lord solemnly swore that He would always be our God, no matter what!   And in love, our Godaccording to the letter of St. Peter heard in our second readingsends us His Son, that He might suffer for our own, many and particular sins, so that He might lead us always back to God and to authentic Love.   Going even so far as to descend... --- ### Restoration of Communion - Published: 2012-02-12 - Modified: 2012-09-19 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/restoration-of-communion/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog, Parish Content Our first reading outlines the Old Testament's strict legal requirements for those suffering from skin diseases such as leprosy.   Seen as ritually impure, highly contagious---a threat to the rest of the communitythey were to present themselves to the priests who would declare them unclean and they would be cast out from the community, the town, removed from relationships with all others…they would, in a sense, be totally banished and isolated. And so our gospel is filled with surprise: first, a leper approaches Jesus, threatening in one sense to make the master Himself ritually impure, as well as physically unclean/dirty/infected; The leper surprises us as he declares that he knows Jesus can heal him, restore his health and livelihood, bring him back into communion with all people, the Church…Jesus can give the man his life back. And, not surprising to us, Jesus does just that.   We hear him instruct the one He has restored to quietly show himself and offer to God according to Moses' decree…yet the man does not.   Filled with rejoicing, we can understand why he is exuberant, can't we? Imagine if you were set outside of communion with God and with all others for a period of time that is not only extensive but also indeterminate, that is to say, beyond your ability to correct or limit or control.   Imagine, to put it bluntly, being an illegal immigrant.   Or imagine being a despised ‘prostitute of ancient times', or a hated minority or outcast.   Yes, aren't these conditions akin... --- ### Christ is the Antidote to our Drudgery - Published: 2012-02-05 - Modified: 2012-02-05 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/christ-is-the-antidote-to-our-drudgery/ - Categories: Parish Content We've been blessed these last few weeks to see inklings of sunlightsometimes overwhelming in their brightnessduring a season that is often overcast, dark and frigid.   Usually, as in our first reading, we can hear Job's lament with consonant ears: "Is not our life on earth a drudgery? …assigned months of misery and troubled nights? "  We too, often wonder, don't we, if we'll ever see happiness again? Consider those who are suffering terrible illness; or those who are even now painfully enduring the agonizing death of their husband or wife of so many years, so many joys, so many loves; what about those who are in such painful agony that they reach out to so many different addictions in order to ease their pain or longing…. It is enough to think of certain unforgettable pages of the rest of the Book of Job, which present our human, ongoing frailty.  In fact, we are like those who "dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is the dust, who are crushed more easily than the moth.  Between morning and evening they are destroyed;  they perish for ever without anyone regarding it".  Again, Job continues to confess:  "My days are swifter than a runner; they flee away, they see no happiness.  They shoot by like skiffs of reed, like an eagle swooping on its prey". The sense of human limitation is intense in these passages.  Our existence has the frailty of the grass that springs up at dawn; yet suddenly it hears the whistle... --- ### Anxiety, Distraction, Confusion & "the Holy One of God" - Published: 2012-01-29 - Modified: 2012-01-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/anxiety-distraction-confusion-the-holy-one-of-god/ - Categories: Parish Content You may be unaware, but I suffer from high levels of anxiety.   I know it's absurd, but it's just my lot at this point in my life.   Case in point: over the last four months, you've surely noticed that our offertory collections have been significantly higher.   You'd think I'd be very happy…grateful for your stewardship of treasure, but the opposite has been true.   You see, we can track our offertories week to week as the years go by and without much trouble we can regularly and accurately predict each week's offertory.   That hasn't been the case during these months.   I've been seeking the reason, but to no avail!   The economy is still not that strong; we've not seen a huge increase in worshippers; our music & liturgy haven't really changed that much…and my homilies aren't any shorter.   So, my anxiety levels have been up: why the sudden and drastic increase in giving?   Why is it still staying up?   How long will it last? Well, thank the good Lord, last week it came back down to steady! I know: it's absurd for me to worry and be anxious…and these only confuse and confound me…and I'm distracted from the reality and truth that our people have been generously sharing from their treasure and that God is clearly blessing us.   Yes, anxiety, distraction and the resulting confusion are not helpful, and yet, they are age-old challenges are they not? St. Paul speaks of distractions and the cloudy focus they impart.   Even in our... --- ### Disposition & Dialogue...toward Faith - Published: 2012-01-15 - Modified: 2012-01-15 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/disposition-dialogue-toward-faith/ - Categories: Parish Content Two days ago I had my monthly meeting with my spiritual director: a fellow-priest who is a very prayerful man and who is grounded in his parish ministry.   Anyway, this session lasted twice as long as usual because I was expressing to him some of my spiritual struggles of late.   As I shared many of the small, simple images which were contributing to the larger struggle, he listened gently and reflected his very keen understanding.   Yet, along with this understanding came some very powerful guidance and insight!   Yes, with the help of saintly images and delicate theological points, he and I were able to come to new depths of my appreciation for priestly ministry in our parish.   It was quite beautiful, really. As much as I'm grateful for this priest's insight and direction, I must admit that it is clearly God's work that really makes the difference in these spiritual struggles.   Sure, I was the one seeking to wrestle with my dryness, and I was the one hoping for consolation in my personal prayer, but it was God's Holy Spirit who then allowed me to see Him anew.   God is the one who continues always to invite me into deeper faith inand rest withHim. Recall Samuel in our first reading: he is disposed to hearing the Lord's voice in his sleep, but it takes anotherElito direct him to listen and respond.   Thus Samuel is schooled to move toward the reward of knowing God.   And what of Andrew in our gospel? ... --- ### The Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord - Published: 2012-01-08 - Modified: 2012-01-08 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/the-solemnity-of-the-epiphany-of-the-lord/ - Categories: Parish Content (It's been wonderful to celebrate the Christmas season with so many--and to enjoy a short hiatus from my weekly blog.   This weekend, my online reflections begin again:) In our everyday lives, we are busy about many things and many ‘do-ings'.   We strive for income, for purchasing goods, for acquiring, for recognition…the list is almost endless.   Yet, on today's feast, we find that we are doing nothing…yet.   This word "epiphany" or ‘manifestation' is not something that the Magi do; rather it is something done to and for them.   Almighty God reveals and makes known the gift of Himself in the little babe at Bethlehem, and the Magi are witnesses; recipients of this revelation, this manifestation.   Unwarranted on their own accord, these wanderers follow the inclinations of the Star and they are brought to rejoice when they see the Christ-child.   God's own initiative manifests the vision of His gift, and from there, after adoring, the Magi go forth by a new route: a route of rejoicing and proclaiming what they had heard and seen. Now that this epiphany has been shared with usthe Churchwe too, after adoring, are invited to take on new ‘do-ings'.   We are given the awesome task of sharing what we have seen, and heard, and learned, and now know:  that God makes his dwelling among our human race and his dwelling is eternal, is one of peace.   May our voices, our activities and our very lives echo the great news of the Magi and the song of the... --- ### The "O Antiphons" of Advent - Published: 2011-12-20 - Modified: 2011-12-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/the-o-antiphons-of-advent/ - Categories: Parish Content The "O Antiphons" refer to the seven antiphons that are recited (or chanted) preceding the Magnificat during Vespers of the Liturgy of the Hours. They cover the special period of Advent preparation known as the Octave before Christmas, Dec. 17-23, with Dec. 24 being Christmas Eve and Vespers for that evening being for the Christmas Vigil. The exact origin of the "O Antiphons" is not known. Boethius (c. 480-524) made a slight reference to them, thereby suggesting their presence at that time. At the Benedictine abbey of Fleury (now Saint-Benoit-sur-Loire), these antiphons were recited by the abbot and other abbey leaders in descending rank, and then a gift was given to each member of the community. By the eighth century, they are in use in the liturgical celebrations in Rome. The usage of the "O Antiphons" was so prevalent in monasteries that the phrases, "Keep your O" and "The Great O Antiphons" were common parlance. One may thereby conclude that in some fashion the "O Antiphons" have been part of our liturgical tradition since the very early Church. The importance of "O Antiphons" is twofold: Each one highlights a title for the Messiah: O Sapientia (O Wisdom), O Adonai (O Lord), O Radix Jesse (O Root of Jesse), O Clavis David (O Key of David), O Oriens (O Rising Sun), O Rex Gentium (O King of the Nations), and O Emmanuel. Also, each one refers to the prophecy of Isaiah of the coming of the Messiah. Let's now look at... --- ### Sharing the Gifts of Advent - Published: 2011-12-04 - Modified: 2011-12-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/sharing-the-gifts-of-advent/ - Categories: Parish Content Clearly, from last week's beginnings, Advent shows us not only that we are people of suffering (see our first reading from Isaiah), but we are also the blessed beneficiaries of God's mercy and comfort (this week's first reading is God's response, "Give comfort to my people").   But it's easy for us to have missed such a message, tucked away in a few simple Scripture passages.   In fact, in today's world, there are lots of distractions that can keep us from seeing, from hearing, from experiencing the blessings of our great God. And so it is: so easy for us to let the season of Advent pass us by without truly preparing ourselves to celebrate our Lord's birth. Yet, when we enter fully into this season, our hearts become filled with joy as we await the celebration of the birth of our Savior. The Advent season becomes, then, a time of joyful anticipation. We recognize with the eyes of faith that God, in his love for us, has sent his son into the world to bring us peace and joy. This is the true gift of this season: our heavenly Father's gift of his Son for our salvation. In the midst of this season, we would be served well by recognizing that just as the Father has given us such a gift, so must we seek to give the gift of his love to one another. Heaven and Hell (Anonymous) A man spoke with the Lord about heaven and hell. "I... --- ### Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King - Published: 2011-11-20 - Modified: 2011-11-20 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/solemnity-of-our-lord-jesus-christ-the-king/ - Categories: Parish Content Happy Solemnity of Christ the King!   So many of us associate this solemnity and Christ's Kingship with the kind of photo you see to the left: Christ victorious, in glory, accomplishing all that is supremely Good: establishing a Kingdom of Justice, Love & Peace... all the ideals our world and her various societies need. Yet, as often as we might hope for a regal ruler of the Kingdom of God, we are quickly reminded that God stoops to accept & embrace all of our humanity, including jeering, suffering, and even death.   But as King, Christ rules even those darker aspects of our lives.   A blessed feast to you.

From principles, we began to consider practical adjustments last Sunday.   Today, I'd like to continue our reflections beginning with the Lord's Prayer.   Already we've considered our posture and the common gesture of hands folded in prayer during our liturgy whenever we are standing.   In fact, once we stand for the Lord's Prayer, we will remain standing for quite some time as the liturgy flows and peaks. Take a moment to recall what the purpose of liturgy is.   While worship of God is the reason for our prayer, liturgy is the way we demonstrate our faith in a visible, tangible way; it's through ritual that we express together what we believe.   When we celebrate the liturgy then, especially the Eucharist (or ‘Mass'), we express what we believe in word and song and action…together, in unison and in unity. Now I realize that over the last 45 years, we've been attempting to express this common unity in word and song and action.   For those who are a little older, you'll easily remember that when you used to go to Mass, the primary work of the liturgy was done by the priest: you weren't really encouraged to fully, actively and consciously participate.   Instead, you would go to confession or pray the rosary or perform a novena all while the priest was doing the work of the liturgy.  ... --- ### Roman Missal, 3rd edition - Part III - Published: 2011-11-13 - Modified: 2011-11-13 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/roman-missal-3rd-edition-part-iii/ - Categories: Parish Content For the last couple of weeks, we've been considering some essential principles that exist to guide our worship as a community of faith, principles such as common-unity in our words of faith, and the principle of open submission to communal, universal worship instead of merely engaging in our own private devotion.   One additional instruction should govern our rituals: if an element (be it a gesture or posture or words) is not provided for by the liturgy, it should not be introduced.   When I was in seminary and as transitional deacons we were to practice celebrating Mass, there were times when a student would make a gesture that was not called for (for example, making the sign of the cross over the chalice prior to co-mingling the Body & Blood of Christa former practice, but one that was discontinued with the second edition of the Roman Missal).   When asked why he was doing it, the student would inevitably say that he had seen it done that way before.   Our professors were quick to correct us, reminding us that what is provided for by the liturgy is more than adequate for our spiritual healthwe need not and should not remove or introduce any elements whatsoever that were outside of the liturgy and its goal. A further illustration: in one of our parishes outside of downtown Albany, there is a local practice of having everyone present recite the doxological prayer, "Through Him, With Him, In Him…".   While that might sound very nice and... --- ### Roman Missal, 3rd edition - Part II - Published: 2011-11-06 - Modified: 2011-11-06 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/roman-missal-3rd-ed-part-ii/ - Categories: Parish Content Last weekend, we began to consider as a worshipping community the changes that will take place within our liturgies beginning November 27th, as we implement the Third Edition of the Roman Missal.   We considered some historical developments over the last fifty-or-so years as English was introduced into the liturgy.   And, most importantly, we began to consider certain liturgical principles that should guide our common prayer, principles like, "what we pray should reflect what we believe" and the principle of unity when we gather for public worship.   This second principle then prompted us to consider how we might approach the liturgy, at least from this moment forward. Recall, if you will, our reflections on common unity.   Among them, we acknowledged that each one of us as individuals has been called and gathered together, asked to leave aside our own private ways of praying and devoting ourselves to God, and to embrace whole-heartedly the public, formal, ritualized, liturgical prayer of the One, United, Mystical Body of Christ.   This might sound simple enough, but allow St. Ignatius of Antioch (in his letter to the Magnesians) to put some practical application to this principle.   He writes: "…I exhort you to strive to do all things in harmony with God: the bishop is to preside in the place of God, while the presbyters are to function as the council of the Apostles….   Let there be nothing among you tending to divide you, but be united with the bishop and those who presideserving at once as... --- ### Roman Missal, 3rd edition - Part I - Published: 2011-10-30 - Modified: 2011-10-30 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/roman-missal-3rd-edition-part-i/ - Categories: Parish Content Editor's Note: For the next 4 weeks, we will be considering the changes to the Liturgy as we prepare to implement the third edition of the Roman Missal into our worship on November 27, 2011. Since the turn of the millennium, the English-speaking bishops of the world have been working to establish a new English translation of the prayers of the Mass used throughout the globe.   Beginning next month, on November 27th to be exact, this new translation will be put into effect.   This weekend, and for the next four weekends, I would like to reflect with you on the ultimate goal of our weekly celebration, some the principles that guide our communal worship, some of the changes to the words and some of our gestures that we use in worship, the reasons for the changes, and finally my hopes for this new way of expressing what we believe as a community of our Catholic faith. Toward the end of the last century, Pope John Paul II had noted throughout his extensive travels that many of the prayers he used in various English-speaking countries were not the same and, in fact, oftentimes did not reflect the common foundation that they were to have in the Latin prayers of the Universal Church.   Because ours is a universal faith, he charged English-speaking bishops with the task of evaluating their translations against the Latin, authoritative, original text and, once deficiencies were found, to correct them so that the prayers of every unique language... --- ### We Are God's Servants First! - Published: 2011-10-15 - Modified: 2011-10-15 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/we-are-gods-servants-first/ - Categories: Parish Content ‘I die the king's good servant but God's servant first. ' ... these words were heard from the lips of St. Thomas More just before he was executed for defying King Henry VII. Henry demanded that Thomas sign the oath of supremacy, swearing his allegiance to the King over the Pope.  St. Thomas More remained obedient to God and the Church by refusing Henry's request and thus was beheaded. At his execution, St. Thomas More stated, "I die the king's good servant but God's servant first. " The story of St. Thomas More's fidelity to God fits the Gospel well this weekend. The Pharisees and religious leaders tried to trick Jesus with a question. "Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not? " If Jesus said yes, he would have been accused of idolatry, breaking Jewish law. If Jesus said no, he would have been accused of disobeying Roman law. They thought they had Jesus tricked until he drew their attention to the image on a coin and replied masterfully, "Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God. "  In other words, give to Caesar what has his image, but give to God what has his image. What has God's image on it? In the book of Genesis, "God said: ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. ' Give to God what is made in his image and likeness! Jesus reminded his audience that we are called to give God that which has... --- ### Humble Acceptance of God's Invitation - Published: 2011-10-09 - Modified: 2011-10-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/humble-acceptance-of-gods-invitation/ - Categories: Parish Content I was talking with my nieceKatelast week and she told me that she was selected to participate in New Hampshire's Republican Debate next month and to ask a question of the U. S. presidential hopefuls. Of course the next excitable statement out of her mouth was, "I've got to get a new dress, but I don't know what color! ... Mom and I have to go to Boston or NYC to go shopping…" Of course, I suggested she wear what she wore last weekend to Mass. "I'm sure that would be grand", I said…to which she replied, "Ughh, stop it, Uncle Dave! " Clearly Kate realized and valued the importance of the upcoming meeting. She wanted to put her best foot forward, to respectfully acknowledge the importance of the event, and to be accepted as someone who could be taken seriously. This isn't something foreign to any of us, is it? • When we were teens or even young adults, we dreamed of dating that someone special…and when miraculously the first date was accepted or set, each one of us primped and preened. • When we applied for college, we were scared to death that we wouldn't get accepted, so we did everything we could to build up that résumé and application and get the best character references possible. • When we sought after our firstor, for that matter, anyjob, we nervously and anxiously hoped & hoped that we'd be called for an interview.

Jesus' mission on earth was to form the church, a new people of God.   United by submission and obedience to the Father's will, they would live out the fullness of God's life and love, and would one day enjoy the eternal inheritance promised to all the faithful.   We are often like the tenants who sought by devious means to obtain the owner's inheritance, and thus we become our own lord and master.   There is a pride in the human that spurs us to take control of our lives and seek fulfillment apart from God and obedience to Him. God's earnest desire is that the members of His church listen to and commit their lives to His Son as we hear God's Word in prayer, scripture, and celebration of the liturgy.   It is only through Jesus and in union with Him that we can recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit.   Thank God... --- ### 'Our Merit' vs. God's Compassionate Generosity - Published: 2011-09-17 - Modified: 2011-09-18 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/our-merit-vs-gods-compassionate-generosity/ - Categories: Parish Content Are You Envious Because I Am Generous? The owner of the vineyard in today's gospel parable reserves the right to pay his employees not on the basis of their own merits but rather on the basis of his own compassion. Generosity condemned as injustice In today's parable, why should such generosity be condemned as injustice? This idea finds its roots and deepest meaning in the Old Testament understanding of God the Creator who is good and generous to all who turn to him. This is the God in whom Jesus believed and lived, but in the person of Jesus, the divine compassion, the divine mercy, the divine goodness surpassed the divine justice. Therefore all who follow Jesus as his disciples and friends much imitate this extraordinary compassion and lavish generosity and never question, deny it or begrudge it. The eleventh-hour workers Perhaps many of us feel strongly with the disgruntled workers at the end of the parable. How often have we known whimsical employers who have compensated lazy or problematic workers far too generously, rather than acknowledging the faithful, dedicated day-in day-out workers? We may ask ourselves: How can God be so unfair? How can God overlook his most faithful workers? Underneath this parable is the issue of bargaining with God. From the very beginnings of religion it has been assumed that we mortals can bargain with the gods to obtain from them what we want. How many times have we experienced this in our Church belonging and service? Some... --- ### Stewards of God's Gifts of Forgiveness & Hope - Published: 2011-09-11 - Modified: 2011-09-11 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/stewards-of-gods-gifts-of-forgiveness-hope/ - Categories: Parish Content Last weekend, our scriptures invited & encouraged each one of us to consider our stewardship of God's grace and virtue; most particularly, in the ways that we admonish and correct and build up one another.   This weekend, our Sacred Scriptures are inviting us to consider more aspects of the Stewardship of God's grace: we possess the ability to forgiveand do so often & freelyand we possess the inclination to be a Christian people filled with hope. Last weekend, I invited each of us to consider reflecting on gossip and derision: those self-centered inclinations toward judgment and ultimately, toward sin.   I invited you to seek forgiveness from someone whom you may have hurt or toward whom you had been unkind.   If you made such an attempt, you did so with some fear, with humility, yes…but also with a sense of hope: hope that they would see your goodness, hear your confession and offer you a new start; welcoming you back into an authentic friendship with them.   Hopefully, the words of the prophet Sirach guided the person you approached: Wrath and anger are hateful things, yet the sinner hugs them tight. The vengeful will suffer the LORD's vengeance, for he remembers their sins in detail. Forgive your neighbor's injustice; then when you pray, your own sins will be forgiven. This is one of the reasons for our hope, is it not?   The Lord reminds us through the prophet that although we are inclined to grasp hold of anger and resentment, we are... --- ### Stewards of God's Gifts of Grace & Virtue - Published: 2011-09-04 - Modified: 2011-09-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/stewards-of-gods-gifts-of-grace-virtue/ - Categories: Parish Content "Father, your gifts of grace once lost by disobedience are now restored by the obedience of Your Son" Today's Mass will find these words on my lips and in your hearts as we open our Eucharistic Prayer.   And while September traditionally finds our parish reflecting on Stewardship and the use of our gifts of time, talent and treasure, I wonder if it might serve us well to consider the gifts of God's grace poured out upon us and within us, and how our stewardship of virtue might be cherished and nurtured among us. In our first reading, the prophet Ezekiel hears the stern warning from God: "If you do not speak out to dissuade the wicked from his way, the wicked shall die for his guilt, but I will hold you responsible for his death. But if you warn the wicked, trying to turn him from his way, and he refuses to turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt,…but you shall save yourself. " Clearly, we have a responsibility that God places on our shoulders to lovingly correct and encourage one another.   When we see or hear sin in another, it is important for us to warn the perpetrator. And in our gospel today, although many may question the actual words used by the MasterJesusno one can question His message: "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. "... --- ### Authority & Power - Published: 2011-08-21 - Modified: 2011-08-21 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/authority-power/ - Categories: Parish Content There is a maxim in our Church's moral teaching that presents "authority & power" as the ability to discern or discover what is right and good, and flowing from that knowledge, the ability to bring it about.   In other words, we do not have the authority to decide what is good or rightonly God has such an authorship.   Our authority rests in discovering what is good and right according to the Lord.   Once our discernment allows us to see rightly, we then have the power to exercise the good and that which is right. Since these are the case, clearly the problems that the prophet Isaiah has with Shebna in our first reading are justified.   Shebna, being given authority and power over King David's household, abuses these by taking bribes, serving his own, personal interests above those of the realm and its people.   Even Isaiah's condemnation of Shebna is harsh, because in his selection of Eliakim, Isaiah chooses wrongly in establishing a new "keeper of King David's keys".  Yes, even Eliakim abuses his authority and power as did Shebna.   Such is the case of much of our human history, is it not? If we look at our own earthly rulers, for example, we see the corruption of authority and the abuse of power in establishing laws that are not in keeping with ‘the Good'…and instead they claim the right to establish & decide what is good, what is right.   In other words, they claim authorship that is never ours (see... --- ### The Conviction of Faith - Published: 2011-08-14 - Modified: 2011-08-14 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/the-conviction-of-faith/ - Categories: Parish Content Once in contact with Christthe Word made fleshthe Canaanite woman of today's gospel is convinced of the truth of God's Word.   Although Jesus does not at first accept the request she makes on behalf of her possessed daughter, still in her conviction and faith, she pleads with the One who is sent by God.   By this encounter, her daughter is healed and, no doubt, this woman's life is changed from that moment onward. What has contact with Christ, either in the Eucharist or in our hearing of the Word made flesh, done to you and your daily life?   Have you been convinced yet that God's power is enough…and His word is true?   For example, when the Lord said to His disciples, "No one has greater love than this, than to lay down one's life for one's friends", have you been so changed as to love in this kind of way: selflessly, fully, generously? Today, is the Feast of St. Maximilian Kolbe, my absolute favorite saint.   Killed in a concentration camp at Auschwitz in 1941, Maximilian clearly heard Christ's invitation to love fully by laying his life down for another.   In July of '41, after the escape of a prisoner, ten men were chosen to be slaughtered in retribution and set as an example of punishment for others contemplating escape.   Although himself not chosen, one of the 10 was a father of young children.   Knowing this, Maximilian offered his own life as a trade so that the young father would be... --- ### Trust Him, Who Is Our Comfort - Published: 2011-08-07 - Modified: 2011-08-07 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/trust-him-who-is-our-comfort/ - Categories: Parish Content In our first reading, Queen Jezebel is pursuing Elijah in order to avenge his killing of the prophets of Baal. Elijah is fleeing those who are trying to take his life…and he seeks shelter and protection, as well as the reassurance of the presence of God. And what happens? He isn't fooled: by magic, Jezebel conjures up wind, then earthquake, then fire in order to trick Elijah from his hiding place, but he waited and listened…and in a still, whispering sound, Elijah discovered that the Lord was near, was with Him. And with the Lord at his side, Elijah comes out from hiding, with confidence and certainty: all will be well. And in our gospel, we find Peter doubting the care of Christ amidst the powerful storm which threatened to swallow the disciple. Letting the waves and the wind distract him, Peter relies no more on the comforting presence and strength of Jesus, and thus he begins to falter. But the simple gesture of Jesus' outstretched hand is enough to save the suffering one. If Peter had stayed focused, even in the midst of distractions and challenges to his faith, he would have been blessed, he would not have faltered, nor become fearful. And so it is for us. In the midst of life's daily challenges and struggles, we might be tempted to see all of the things that are heaped upon us, and we may be come distracted. Those distractions might be sadness or loneliness, they might be disappointments... --- ### Called to be Evangelizers of Christ's WORD - Published: 2011-07-09 - Modified: 2011-07-09 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/called-to-be-evangelizers-of-christs-word/ - Categories: Parish Content In today's gospel, Christ uses a parable of a sower and seeds landing on all different types of ground.   By using these images, the Lord is establishing the necessary conditions in order for His Word to grow.   And clearly His Word is meant to grow: Isaiah said in our first reading that God provides rain and snow in order to water the earth, thus making it fertile and fruitful…all things achieving the purpose for which He sent it.   In the same way, Christ's Word is shared so that it can multiply in us. In Hebrew, the word dabar is translated as "word", but it's also translated as "deed" or "action" or "work".   And so, as Christ looks for His Word to be planted, sown, cultivated and fruitful, He also intends this Word to become living deeds in our lives.   For what reason? …to spread the kingdom of God in our midst…to be evangelizers for ourselves and others; to proclaim that faith is an important value in good person's lives. In the last few months, several parishioners have been meeting with me and with Maureen to plan some extensive evangelization events.   Some aren't so new: our Golf Classic and our Vacation Bible Camp have been opportunities for us to gather with others as we express the fruits of our faith.   Yes, even a golf outing can be a chance for someone to see us and hear us and experience us as Catholics who live by a certain code: the code of... --- ### This “Yoke” is Not of Slavery, Rather… - Published: 2011-07-03 - Modified: 2011-07-03 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/this-%e2%80%9cyoke%e2%80%9d-is-not-of-slavery-rather%e2%80%a6/ - Categories: Parish Content When we hear the word "yoke", there are just a few images that come to mind: the inside of an egg (of course, the spelling is a bit different); but a kind of wooden beam, as on an ox attached to a plow or on a slave to show his defeat & captivity.   And we have heard this term in that context of slavery within the New Testament haven't we?   "Do not put upon yourselves the yoke of slavery for a second time…" says St. Paul to the people of Galatia.   And in today's gospel we hear it again, only this time we are invited to bear a yoke, to let it be placed upon us, as if we would become owned by something.   This calls to mind the season we're in…the season for weddings!   No not of being owned or enslaved, but something quite different! Consider the word "yoke" again: it infers a kind of bondage, but in this context it implies a bondage with another…to be coupled, to be united as part of a pair.   In our gospel's context, Christthe one who frees us from slavery and bondage to sin or temptationis now inviting us to be paired with Him, coupled with Him in a new bond.   And in this bond we no longer find ourselves alone or isolated, but rather we are joined with him and no longer belong to ourselves alone.   Our being yoked with Christ now brings about the new plan of the Father, a... --- ### Corpus Christi: "...given for you" - Published: 2011-06-29 - Modified: 2011-06-29 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/corpus-christi-given-for-you/ - Categories: Parish Content This time of year is usually wedding & ordination season in the Church.   A couple of weeks ago, our diocese ordained one new man to the priesthood.   One of the most powerful moments during the ordination rite is when the candidate lies prostrate in an act of surrender as the Church prays the litany of saints.   That powerful gesture portrays the reality that every priest upon ordination, dies to himself.   In other words, the new priest says to God and the Church, ‘this is my body, given for you. '  In fact, marriage isn't too different in that sense.   When a couple exchanges their vows, in essence, they are saying, ‘this is my body, given for you. ' On this Feast of Corpus Christi, the Body and Blood of Christ, we are reminded of the sacred words of our Lord.   Jesus took bread and said, ‘this is my body, given for you. '  Likewise, he took a cup filled with wine and said, ‘this is my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant, which will be shed for you. '  Jesus brought those sacred words to reality when he mounted the Cross and by his actions, in essence, said, this is my body and blood given for you.   Jesus laid down his life for all of us in a total act of self denial.   As Catholics we are called to die to ourselves daily and within our specific vocations say, ‘this is my body given for you. '  The priest does this... --- ### God's Generous Gifts of Pentecost - Published: 2011-06-12 - Modified: 2011-06-12 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/gods-generous-gifts-of-pentecost/ - Categories: Parish Content Whenever peopleespecially young peoplecelebrate their birthday, or approach Christmas, they wish for gifts, don't they?   Well, Pentecost is informally known as the birthday of the Church, whereby Christ fulfills his promise to remain with us as His bodythe Churchby sending the Holy Spirit to enliven and embolden our faith. So today, as we commemorate the Spirit's descent upon the disciples at that first Pentecost, we anticipate the Spirit's hovering over us as well, bringing His gifts to strengthen and embolden us as witnesses of the Church. Let's reflect, for a few moments, on the gifts that we are receiving on our birthday celebration today.   Known as the gifts of the Holy Spirit, there are seven which bring us divine assistance from the heavenly throne and the eternal kingdom of God.   They are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord (also known as "wonder and awe in God's presence"). Wisdom is both the knowledge of and judgment about "divine things" and the ability to judge and direct human works according to divine truth. The gift of wisdom leads the soul of those who have it to see things from God's perspective. Wisdom is fullness of knowledge through desire for closeness with God, as when a person comes to know Christ's Passion through one's own suffering. Understanding is penetrating insight into the very heart of things, especially those higher truths that are necessary for our eternal salvation. The gift of understanding gives to the mind of those who... --- ### Our Waiting: from Ascension to Pentecost - Published: 2011-06-05 - Modified: 2011-06-05 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/our-waiting-from-ascension-to-pentecost/ - Categories: Parish Content Back in the early 90'swhen I was beginning seminary studies in ItalyI distinctly recall my first oral/spoken exam.   I had spent weeks preparing by arguing delicate points of Revelation with fellow students.   We poured over our Italian notes…making sure to understand the particular nuances of terms that we weren't familiar with in English, let alone Italian. Anyway, I was in the waiting room, nervously preparing to approach the outer room of renowned Archbishop Rino Fisichella's office.   It was mid-afternoonhotter and more humid than ever.   I had eaten a good-sized breakfast and only a bit at lunch but I was feeling my nerves growing. The archbishop's message board flashed, "ENTRATA" and I knew I was next at the guillotine!   I entered, introduced myself…he didn't look at me or speak anything of welcome.   I sat.   He chose an index card and read his first question to me.   He spoke quickly in his spiked Italian, thenthank Godhis very broken English repeated the question with some mistakes in pronunciation, but I got it.   He wanted me to defend the proposition that "revelation is credible or believable"…no problem: I had argued this one using his logic for weeks.   But as I opened my mouth to start blurting out my brutish Italian, the only thing that came out was a bit of my breakfast on his office floor!   He was shocked, and I was mortified!   I tried and tried to gather myself, looking for paper towels or something to clean up my attempted response, but to... --- ### "If you love me..." - Published: 2011-05-30 - Modified: 2011-05-30 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/if-you-love-me/ - Categories: Parish Content So much of our life seems anything but connected to Jesus and expressive of our love for him.   Our sheer busyness hardly leaves us with a moment to catch our breath, let alone be concerned with loving Jesus! But, loving Jesus does not require that we pray all the time or that we are consciously aware of Jesus' presence.   Loving Jesus is a simple matter of keeping his commandments--being gentle and reverent toward others, having a clear conscience, doing good.   Most of us are already trying each day to the things we need to do in order to be good Christians; but we also need to recognize that our good, concrete actions are actually the way we keep the Lord's commandments.   In other words, his commandments are pretty simple to know: love as he loved, be self-giving as he was, receive others as he did, do the Father's will as he did.   Most of all, keeping his commandments means opening ourselves to the Holy Spirit--the Advocate of Truth--who dwells within and around us... and who makes us like him. By these things, we can be sure, that we love the Lord Jesus! --- ### Offerings of our Priesthood - Published: 2011-05-22 - Modified: 2011-05-22 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/offerings-of-our-priesthood/ - Categories: Parish Content This weekend's scripture readings are filled with images of priesthood and the work of those who share in this vocation.   Now, you may be presuming that I'm speaking merely of the ordained, ministerial priesthood and, while I am referring to their service as well, I'm particularly cognizant of the priesthood of the baptized.   When the early community was gathered, the Apostles sought the service and discernment of all the disciples... of all the believers.   And those who had faith shared their wisdom and their gifts with the community as they discerned the first brothers to diaconal ministry.   They affirmed such discernment and offered those seven to the community as servants. In our second reading, we hear that from our baptism, each one becomes a kind of living stone that, joined with other living stones, are planted together in order to become a new creation, a living and vibrant Church with Christ as our head and each of us as members.   Yes, from our baptism we are then made priests of a new order... priests in service and in sacrifice. Even our gospel reminds us that Christ--again and again--is asking us to place our faith in Him.   Today, as we continue to form the Church, we are imperfect; yet, the Lord invites us still to offer our lives as priests... in sacrifice and in service.   And while are offerings are "ordered" or "collected and received" by our ordained presbyters who then offer to the Father such wonderfully generous gifts, each of us are then... --- ### The Supper at Emmaus: the Second Eucharist - Published: 2011-05-10 - Modified: 2011-05-10 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/the-supper-at-emmaus-the-second-eucharist/ - Categories: Parish Content We're well into the Easter Season as this third week after the Resurrection commences.   It hasn't gotten 'old', however: this weekend we heard the story of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus.   I wonder if we might take a fresh look from a different perspective: maybe we could consider this second Eucharistic meal--the first sacred sharing after the Resurrection of Christ--and reflect on the "Supper at Emmaus". This painting from 1601 by Caravaggio may provide deeper reflection and take you in many different directions: possibly you're drawn to the external features of the two disciples who look worn out and tired; or maybe the innkeeper with his haggard look, and rough stubble;  perhaps the garments on the painting draw your eye as we see the effect light has on the tablecloth which will bear the sacred meal. All of these pathways to deeper reflection and greater appreciation for the gifts of the Eucharist and Resurrected Glory are valuable, yet I wonder if we might consider one further aspect: the progression of the Meal. As the meal at the inn progresses, the earlier 'liturgy of the Word', if you will, which they shared on the road, flows into a Liturgy of the Eucharist when Christ blesses the bread and wine at the meal table, done in remembrance of the first Eucharistic celebration accomplished a few days earlier in the Upper Room and later fulfilled on the Cross.   "And it happened that, while He was with them at table, He... --- ### Blessed John Paul II - Published: 2011-05-08 - Modified: 2011-05-08 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/blessed-john-paul-ii/ - Categories: Parish Content Last weekend, amidst one million faithful gathered around St. Peter's Basilica and Vatican City, Pope Benedict XVI declared Pope John Paul II "Blessed".   Giving great delight to the Church, Benedict now shares with us a continuous blessing by allowing us to invoke Blessed John Paul II in the midst of trial and suffering, joys and worship.   I'm particularly delighted because of the admiration I have for our late pontiff who lead the Church as I was preparing for priesthood in the late 90s. As many of us go through our daily lives, we'll have reason to beseech God's continued grace to assist us, to be near us, to work within and around us; may we seek, too, the intercession of Blessed John Paul II. --- ### His Passion & Abandonment - Published: 2011-04-21 - Modified: 2011-05-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/his-passion-abandonment/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog 04/17/2011 His Passion & Abandonment It's very clear in Matthew's Gospel that Christ's passion is made so completely sorrowful when we acknowledge that Christ is all alone. From the mensa where Judas leaves Him, to the garden where His companions encourage His isolation as they drift into sleep and He agonizes alone. From the abandonment of Peter in his denials to the cross where all set themselves apart from Him in their jeers and taunts. One of the greatest elements of Christ's suffering is that He is completely cut off from all others. And as if that were not a deep enough suffering, even His Father isolates His Son when the Lord cries out, "My God, My God, why have you abandoned me? " He is utterly alone. Yet, this is not a complete picture of the depths of His abandonment. Surely he has been abandoned: the victim of isolation forced upon Him. But our second reading describes it even more completely when St. Paul writes, "Even though He was in the form of God, Jesus did not deem equality with God something to be grasped. " Here we begin to witness Christ's active abandonment. No longer a victim who is cast off, but He casts Himself off: He leaves His divine stature in order to become man. But there's more: He emptied Himself and took on our form, yet the form He takes is that of a slave, subjecting Himself to all other men. He has abandoned Himself in this offering,... --- ### Belief Strains, …yet Faith Can Still Grow - Published: 2011-04-21 - Modified: 2011-05-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/belief-strains-%e2%80%a6yet-faith-can-still-grow/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog 04/10/2011 Belief Strains, …yet Faith Can Still Grow Today's second reading from Paul's letter to the Romans reminds us that our life is a tug-of-war between this physical life and the spiritual life sustained by God's Spirit. And as we've traveled through these first five weeks of Lent, we might need to pause for a moment to reflect on how we've been moving. During our first week, we saw the temptations of Jesus and wondered whether or not we would be able to overcome them ourselves. Then, we caught a glimpse of the glory of the Lord as He was transfigured on Mt. Tabor. Surely, that whet our appetite to cling to Him and stay close…hoping that our nearness would bring us to future glory as well. Then, with the woman of Samaria, we came to know Christ as the font of living water, who is able to slake any hunger or thirst or longing we might have. Last week, we sawwith the new sight of the blind manthat Jesus is a prophet, a healer, …He is one in whom we can place our faith. And this week, we witness the drama unfolding on life's stage: there is illness, and fear; uncertainty, and death; there is then One with power over life and over death. Yes, lots to reflect on during this season of Lent. So, how have we been moving within ourselves during this season? If you might not want to answer, consider a few other guides that we... --- ### Can You See Him for Who He Is? - Published: 2011-04-21 - Modified: 2011-05-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/can-you-see-him-for-who-he-is/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog 04/03/2011 Can You See Him for Who He Is? Last weekend, we went to the well with the Samaritan Woman. And as we conversed with Jesus, we first saw him merely as "a Jew". But later, as we listened while He spoke, we came to discover more about Him and we perceived Him as "a prophet". Only after He shared with us the depth and beauty of who we are in His midst did we understand Him to be "the Christ". This weekend, we find ourselves again in His midst, but this time we are as the Blind Man who has no sense of this Jesus: blind since birth, we cannot hope to see except by the One who can restore our lost sight. We clearly admit from the outset, "I am he" who is blind. And we are challenged and ridiculed by those around us. Yet, the more we ponder and share about the One who restores our sight, the more we come to see Him for who He is: first, He is "a healer"; later, He is "a prophet"; still later, the "Son of Man"; and finally, "Lord"! If we share our lives with Christ, He will be able to share greatly His own life with us. If we share our life of faith with others, so much more will that life of faith impact our own…allowing us to grow in comprehension and witness…allowing us to see Him for who He really is, and to proclaim "Christ, the... --- ### If you only knew… - Published: 2011-04-21 - Modified: 2011-05-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/if-you-only-knew%e2%80%a6/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog 03/26/2011 "If you only knew…" When I was drawing close to ordination as a priest, I remember having a very candid and serious conversation with an older priest. I had known him most of my life and was looking forward to the next few months and following fifty years of ministry! My excitement was wearing him down a little because at a couple points he effortlessly downplayed certain of my enthusiastic hopes with the remark, "if you only knew…". A few more times he ‘batted at the gnat excitedly buzzing around him' and I got the hint: I sensed he was tired of the ‘young pup' and my effusive excitement so I slowly started to retreat with my enthusiasm. I guess he felt bad at having deflated my balloon and, after a few minutes of just sitting and enjoying the growing summer, he said again, "if you only knew". His tone was different this time. Feeling dismissed, I asked him to go on. The priest began to crack a bit and his expression had changed. He turned to me quite warmly and looked me in the eye. "If only you knew…and you can't yet, but you will. " "God is so good", he continued. "I have been a priest for over 45 years and I am alwaysalwaysamazed at how blessed I am to witness such goodness. When I celebrate the sacraments, it's all God's doing and it's never-ending. When I visit the frail, I can actually see God holding them up…even... --- ### Trust Me - Published: 2011-04-21 - Modified: 2011-05-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/trust-me/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog 03/20/2011 Trust Me The LORD said to Abram: "Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father's house to a land that I will show you. " I will never forget June 27, 1999. That's the day I boarded the airplane at Leonardo da Vinci Airport in Rome, Italy and started my final return journey to the United States as a recently-ordained priest. With academic degrees in hand, I was still without a clue as to where I was really going. Sure, I knew my assignment, but the only thing I really possessed was the inner conviction that God wanted me to be a darn good priest, formed to enthusiastically and authentically proclaim the Gospel and His Kingdom. Other than that, I had no idea what lay ahead…and I still don't, for that matter! Providentially, the very reading we will hear this Second Sunday of Lent, reminds me of the deep need we all have: we need to trust the Lord's continual goodness. Abraham had it all: "... very rich in livestock, silver, and gold. " He was quite cozy in the town of Ur and was actually ready for retirement by our standards. Then it got a little foggy for Abe... "Go forth... to a land that I will show you. " Wow, the power of those words. Talk about a Lenten journey! I certainly didn't have the vaguest idea what lay ahead of me back then. All I knew was that there was an invitation to go, to... --- ### The ‘Campaign’ of our Lenten Season - Published: 2011-04-21 - Modified: 2011-05-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/the-%e2%80%98campaign%e2%80%99-of-our-lenten-season/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog 03/13/2011 The ‘Campaign' of our Lenten Season Since Ash Wednesdaypassed just a few days agoI have felt drawn to consider more intensely how the Church views Lent from the eyes and heart of our liturgical life. So, with that goal in mind, I thought it might serve me well to return to the very beginning of Lent and its first liturgy that we just recently experienced here at our parish. This led me to re-examine the opening prayer of the liturgies of Ash Wednesday (certainly, I thought, that will give me a clear sense of the newness of the season, and the goals it has in store for me and for us). The opening prayer, voiced by those who presided at our liturgies, and offered by each person who gathered together in our rituals, stated: "Father in heaven, the light of your truth bestows sight to the darkness of sinful eyes. May this season of repentance bring us the blessing of your forgiveness and the gift of your light. " I pondered that for several moments and, although I realized some images coming to the forefront of my consciousness, I also felt an unease…or an inner pang of longing…an ache for more; the prayer just wasn't resonating as much as I was hoping it might. So I... --- ### To Listen with the Heart - Published: 2011-04-21 - Modified: 2011-05-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/to-listen-with-the-heart/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog 03/06/2011 To Listen with the Heart One of my students at Siena College was surprised this past week by the mid-term exam! I'm not sure how: …I had stated clearly in the syllabus and in the course calendar that the Midterm exam was going to be conducted on Thursday, March 3rd. In fact, on Tuesday, I repeated that information and conducted some simple review with them. Of course, when she protested on Thursday that she thought it was next Thursday I was tempted to ask her "what part of March 3rd don't you understand? " She knew the rules and she heard my words…just like every other student in the class! But apparently that isn't enough! How right that statement is! Our first reading from Deuteronomy echoed this sentiment: It is not enough to merely know God's commandments. And our Gospel affirms that it is also not merely enough to hear Jesus' words. The "more" that is needed from each one of usbeyond simply knowing and hearingis to listen with the heart and respond. We must put the spirit of these commandments, of these words of the Master, into action. For faith demands action…it's ‘action' that proves the mettle of faith and stands up to the pressures that face us day in and day out as we move throughout the created world. Surely, if we are to look at any single day, we'll be able to see just how hard it is to put our authentic faith into real action. We... --- ### Sufficient for a day...is its own worries - Published: 2011-04-21 - Modified: 2011-05-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/sufficient-for-a-day-is-its-own-worries/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog 02/27/2011 Sufficient for a day... is its own worries We have three baptisms today at the 11am Mass…and if I was a gambling man, I'd bet that the 3 moms and 3 dads have each already experienced lots of joys from the little ones. Of course, who wouldn't crumble at a little baby's new smile? Or what about when they first start to grab hold of your little finger for dear life? …precious little exchanges! But those moms and dads are probablyat the same timefeeling lots of anxieties and natural worries: will my job be able to support my family? Will the snow let up and winter pass more quickly so that heating bills won't consume our paychecks? Do we have enough diapers and baby clothes and toys and formula and…all the other stuff to last us next week? What about the next week? …and the next? Although these worries are quite natural and provisions ought to be planned for, still, they may not be our best focus or our highest driving force in life. If our gospel today wasn't clear enough, maybe a little fable from Aesop will help: recall the goatherd caught in a snowstorm. Herding his goats toward a cave for shelter, the goatherd found the cave already occupied by a herd of wild goatslots more than his own. Devious and greedy at increasing his own wealth, the goatherd took great care of his wild find…going so far as to even give them the fodder/food intended for his... --- ### Be Perfect…Be Whole…Be Pure in Heart - Published: 2011-04-21 - Modified: 2011-05-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/be-perfect%e2%80%a6be-whole%e2%80%a6be-pure-in-heart/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog 02/20/2011 Be Perfect…Be Whole…Be Pure in Heart It's no secret that every so often I battle with perfectionism and obsessive tendencies. Of course, those obsessions remind me that I'm not so ‘perfect' after all. Recently, while out socializing with several of our diocesan priests, we were laughing about some of our imperfections and curious tendencies and, thankfully, I was reminded by one of my brothers that I was not the only one who suffered from perfectionism: sure I would often catch myself saying, "Any job, big or smalldo it right, or not at all", but it was Bishop Maginn (former bishop of Albany) who was always reminding his priests, "Good, better, best…never let it rest; till the good is better, and the better is best. " This weekend's gospel passage places this invitation on the lips of our Lord, "Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Mt. 5:48). In all of our dealings with all others, especially those in need, we are asked to exercise authentic justice in our generous stewardship; we are encouraged to act out of a severe and austere love, a love that abandons our own self interest and seeks to respond to the authentic need of others. So, is this perfection achievable? If so, is it advisable? Although at first hearing it is potentially troublesome for people like me, Jesus is not speaking here of a perfection in the sense of absolute moral perfection, an impossible ideal for mere human beings to attain. On the contrary,... --- ### This is a First - Published: 2011-04-21 - Modified: 2011-05-04 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/fr-davids-blog/this-is-a-first/ - Categories: Fr. David's Blog 01/31/2011 This is a First Well, it has finally happened: I have accepted the invitation to write my first of many weekly blog entries! Eighteen months agoin my usual, helpless styleI asked one of our beloved young adult parishioners to read an article concerning evangelization and the use of technology to speak with the language of young adults and college students. My goal was to learn some of the "new fangled language" of this millennium so that I might better understand my growing appreciation for these upcoming generations. Ultimately this wise parishioner shared with me the hunger that so many young adults and college students face: a longing for meaning and connection; a thirst for appreciation and integration of their faith traditions; a deep, lasting desire for union with God and others…yes, all this, but within the confines of limited time, hectic responsibilities, the influx of so many doubts and fears, uncertainty about the present and concern for the future. These, and so many other challenges of contemporary daily life yetas this young man told methey are still drawn to something deeper, something longer-lasting, something most meaningful and worthy of their devotion, commitment and lively care. I was told that evening, that to meet these young people in the arenas in which they delve would be a wonderful opportunity to let them know of our care, of our desire for them to share our lives of faith, and hope and love, and to allow them to feel welcome to meet... --- ### Welcome to the Church of St. Mary at Clinton Heights! - Published: 2011-04-03 - Modified: 2017-01-31 - URL: https://www.stmaryny.org/parish-content/welcome-to-st-marys-church-of-clinton-heights/ - Categories: Parish Content Rensselaer, New York 12144-3521 A Roman Catholic Parish Church within the Diocese of Albany Mission Statement: The Church of St. Mary is a Catholic Community united in faith and Eucharist with the Diocese of Albany, New York, and the Church throughout the world. As a Catholic Community, we believe in and model our lives on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are committed to active worship and prayer, lifelong faith formation, and the physical and spiritual support of those in need. All are welcome into our community.

A Message from the Pastor: Greetings friends! On behalf of the one thousand parishioners who call the Church of St. Mary their home, welcome! St. Mary's is located in the town of East Greenbush and was founded in 1927 as a mission church of St. John's Church in the city of Rensselaer. In 1961, the small mission church burned while the building of the new parish school was underway. As a result, the gymnasium of the school became the new temporary worship space. We are still in this same space but it has truly become a wonderfully prayerful environment for our worship... . ---
