Take this list home with you and use it in your daily prayers.

Dear Parishioners, In each stage of our lives we have had someone to care for us to be our guardians. We begin with our parents and grandparents; our older brothers or sisters; a baby sitter; a teacher; big brothers or big sisters; guidance counselors; our mentors; an advocate. In the forty days between His Resurrection and His Ascension, Jesus is trying to wean His disciples. He is trying to tell them He will not be with them in the same way anymore. He will not be with them physically as He has been during the three years of His public ministry. Jesus has given His followers a new commandment (13: 34-35))..”That you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you should also love one another”. This is quite a command to be prepared to even die for another. They know they cannot follow this command on their own. Jesus is not leaving them orphans to fend for themselves. Jesus will ask his Father to provide another defender, advocate, guide who will always be there to act on their behalf. Jesus promised to give his followers the best of gifts, the Holy Spirit as their Counselor and Helper. The Holy Spirit is our advocate and helper who guides and strengthens us and brings us safely through the challenges and adversities we must face in life. Today our Easter Liturgy aims to awaken in us that we too are called to share in this mission - through the gift of Christ’s own Spirit. John’s Gospel Advocate translates the word “Paraclete”. This term signifies someone who will stand by us whatever our need. Jesus will be present to us in a new way as his own Spirit leads the faith-filled community in a fuller understanding of all that He said and did. As stated in the beginning of this reflection we have always had guides in our lives. So too now we know we are never on our own. This union with the Savior, through His Spirit is to be far more than a comforting spiritual union. Jesus has said: ”If you love me you will keep my commandments”. In the tradition that gave us John’s Gospel we know all is summed up in a single commandment “Love one another as I have loved you”. The Spirit will be our guide into the fullness of life and truth brought by the Risen Lord, as we give ourselves to practical love and service. How will you share in this mission of love and service? Peace! Sister Justine

DO YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES A DAY?

DO YOU WORRY ABOUT

OUR WORLD TODAY?

We would like to invite you to become part of the

LIVING ROSARY. This activity was started at Saint Aloysius Parish a number of years ago as a means of joining our prayers together to pray for peace in our country and for all our special intentions. It is also in response to people’s needs for greater spiritual growth. At this time we have several teams of 5 members each participating in our living rosary. It is a power house of prayer!

This activity may be taken on by anyone. Families can participate, the home bound can become part of the Living Rosary; persons on their way to work can

join also. There are no meetings to attend.

What is necessary to become part of the Living Rosary is a commitment to say one decade of the Rosary each day. You then become a member of a team who together says the entire rosary each day. It is said for the intentions of those members comprising the Living Rosary and for the specific and special intentions of our parish. It can be done at home, in the car, on the train, and any time of your day.

The Rosary has been used for centuries for world peace, against the heresy of the times, during the Nazi occupation of Poland and at many other times. This is a simple devotion, parish oriented, that demands little of its members and produces great spiritual results.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the LIVING ROSARY. Please fill out the form below and put it in the collection basket, drop it off at the rectory or the parish center, or call Sister Justine at 973-226-0209 x 37 or e-mail me at jpintop@verizon.net. We will then contact you to coordinate the groups and mysteries of the Rosary.

I am interested in becoming a member of the Living
