The school year for St. Joseph School concludes this Thursday. I will miss not having the children around for the next couple of months. Their smiles bring a smile to my face and their enthusiasm energizes me. I look forward to their return in August. At the end of June the Trenton Summer Festival takes place. It begins Friday, June 23rd and concludes Sunday, June 25th. Because of the congestion and limited parking near our church our Mass schedule will be modified that weekend. There will be only two Masses that weekend – Sunday, June 25th, at 8 am and 10 am. I share this info now so that you can plan ahead. In two weeks we will celebrate Fathers’ Day. In anticipation of it I share the following: The father of five children had won a toy in a raffle. He called his kids together to ask which one should have it. “Who is the most obedient?” he asked. He went on to ask, “Who never talks back to Mother? Who does everything Mother says?” Five small voices replied in unison, “Okay, Daddy! You get the toy.”

Pentecost PAGE 3 June 4th, 2017

A major, solemn feast within the liturgi-

cal year of the Church is Pentecost. This

is a Christian feast marking 50 days after

Easter. It was derived by the Church

from a Jewish feast of the same name

which marked a “Week of Weeks” or

7days times 7 days equaling 49 and then

concluded on the 50th day. Pentecost,

of course, means 50.

The prelude to this feast is the

Ascension of the Lord, where we re-

member how Jesus returning to heaven

and to His Father, then sat on a throne

at the right hand of God. At the Lord’s

Ascension the disciples could not see

Jesus anymore, they did not have Him

with them, they were in a certain sense

on their own in continuing the work of

Jesus. But, Jesus said I will not leave you

orphans. He still guided their work

(especially through prayer) and helped

them but in a different way. That is a

situation we have inherited. Jesus still

helps and guides us but we cannot see

or hear Him. He has not left us alone to

do the work He began, however it is up

to us to do the work. We take up the

responsibility of building God’s Kingdom

of love, which Jesus handed-on to

us. One significant way we do that is

through the work of the Parish Pastoral

Council. This element of the parish, our

Parish Pastoral Council, is an important

structure that helps to guide and over-

see the Church in a very general way

through an advisory role to the

pastor. We do not often recognize,

appreciate, or even talk much about the

Parish Pastoral Council. The Council is

made up of parish members who

volunteer their time, abilities, expertise,

and efforts to help the pastor to most

effectively and innovatively minister to

the needs of parishioners. The Parish

Pastoral Council must, in turn, rely upon

the support and direction of the Holy

Spirit

Pentecost or the coming of the Holy

Spirit is the solemn feast which we

celebrate today. Once Jesus had de-

parted, He sent us the gift of the Holy

Spirit. This mighty Person of God’s living

Spirit is dynamic and active in the

Church. (You are the Church remem-

ber). So, whenever we are gathered

together, this vital essence of God-at-

work contributes to all that we are

doing and transforms societies and

situations through our willingness to get

involved and follow Christ’s exam-

ple. There are nine days between the

Ascension and Pentecost. (There are

seven days between them if Ascension

is moved to a Sunday, which is the law-

ful prerogative of the local bishop, but

originally it was always nine days). This

tradition of the nine days has, from an-

cient times, been kept in the Church

because the Sacred Scriptures tells us

how the frightened and uncertain

apostles prayed for nine days, as Christ

commanded them, and then on the

following day their prayers were an-

swered with the coming of the Holy

Spirit and the glorious feast of Pente-

cost. Immediately the apostles became

bold, enthusiastic, joyous and ready to

go out proclaiming Christ as well as

performing miracles. The fire of the

Holy Spirit had spurred them onward to

make Christ’s Church a reality in the

world. Let us pray for all those people

in our parish willing to get involved with

helping to bring the Church of Christ

more fully into our world now. From

the events recorded in the bible, we

have since the 17th century derived the

custom of the novena (the word novena

meaning nine). A novena is a prayer

that continues for nine days focused

upon a single intention. The novena can

be made on nine consecutive days or

nine Fridays in a row or other similar

methods. A novena is not meant as a

kind of superstitious or magic way of

forcing God to respond, but is an

imitation of the Virgin Mary who, to-

gether with the apostles, prayed for

nine days. Novena is an intense prayer

form that signifies a person’s openness

to God and the expectation of the Holy

Spirit at work in the matter they are

praying about.

We gratefully thank the past and pre-

sent members of the Parish Council, the

many volunteers of the parish, all those

who get involved, anyone keeping a

positive attitude, and those praying for

our communal success. We staff, who

benefit daily from all the ways we are

helped by the Parish Council, the

Commissions, and the various volun-

teers, want you to know of our grati-

tude. We would not be able to fulfill

our ministry without your help. And so,

with great joy and humility we thank

you for your willingness to get involved,

serve the parish, and help guide and

shape the larger direction of the Church.

Finally, today is the date when

Archbishop Allen Vigneron is supposed

to release his pastoral letter

summarizing the work of last year’s

synod. Some people have expressed an

expectation that the archbishop’s letter

may introduce helpful changes to parish

life. These may perhaps even include an

updating and renewal of some

structures such as the Parish Pastoral

Council. As we gather to celebrate the

defining moment in the founding of the

Church with this Solemnity of Pentecost,

may we also pray for the grace of the

Holy Spirit to unfailingly energize all

members of our parish for the work and

mission of making Christ’s Church

remarkably present here in Trenton.

Peace and Blessings,

Scott Anastasia

From the Deacon’s Desk...

Receive the Holy Spirit As we celebrated the Resurrection of Our Lord, there is a tendency on our part to put the Risen Christ away back into the tomb until next year. We say to ourselves, "Oh, wasn't that a beautiful Easter Sunday celebration service". Then on Monday, we go back to our own little private lives, forgetting what just took place the day be-fore. However, there comes a time when we have to live our own personal resurrection and leave our tombs. This my brothers and sisters is the difficult part and challenge for us. Are there not days when we would rather stay home, pull the covers over our heads, and totally shut the doors and close ourselves to the realities of the world and life? Don't we want to stay inside away from some people and to avoid doing things that we are called to do? We are all guilty of this, myself included. Just run away and hide and not deal with the realities of life. Nevertheless, it also true that when we shut the doors of our hearts to others and the realities of life, we lock ourselves in our own personal tombs. On Easter evening, on that first day of the week, the Disciples lock them-selves up in the Upper Room. Mary Magdalene has already announced to them that, "I have seen the Lord". Peter and John have seen the empty tomb. Still, they are in the house with the doors locked living in fear. In today's Gospel they are in the same place, the same house, with the same doors still locked. Still living in fear of the Jews. Jesus has opened and left His tomb of death and fear, but His Disciples still have their tomb locked up tight. The Upper Room has become their tombs just as our hearts can become ours. The Disciples faith has been weak-ened and they have entered their own tombs of fear, doubt, and blindness. The doors of the Upper Room have become the stone sealing their hearts to fear. The doors to our tombs, our hearts, with all of its doubts and fears, have been locked from the inside to keep others out. As a result, we find ourselves in the same situation as the Apostles, living in fear. Our hearts become our "Living tomb of death", no different than the Apostles. Maybe our tombs are disbelief, sorrow, or loss. Still, it may be anger, hatred, or resentment. But, the Good News, is that Jesus enters the locked places of our lives. Many times He comes unexpected, uninvited, and even unwanted into our closed hearts and closed minds. As Jesus breathes the new life of the Holy Spirit into the Apostles, He also breathes new life into each of us. Je-sus stands before us, as He stands before the Apostles, offering us this great gift of Life in the Spirit of God. He gives new hope where all hope seemed lost. Regardless of our circumstances, Jesus shows up offering us Life and bringing us peace. Regardless of all the evil that surrounds us, Jesus offers us His peace and life. Life and the peace of Christ are the realities of Our Resur-rected Lord. They do not necessarily change the circumstances of our lives and the evils that exist in the world. The storms of life will still come upon us. Yet, the Holy Spirit will enable us to navigate through those trials. His gives us his peace, his breath, his life, and then sends us out. We are freed from the locked doors of fear and step outside into His life. The Holy Spirit that the Lord has promised will free us from all fear and doubt. This He will bring about, if we just allow Him to enter into our heart and to become the Lord of our life. God Bless, Deacon David

Daily Readings & Reflections

June 4th SOLEMNITY OF PENTECOST

You are gifted Your Confirmation celebrated the fact

that you are being given the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They’re not one-time gifts,

but rather gifts that keep on giving. They are: wisdom, understanding,

knowledge, counsel, courage, rever-ence, and wonder in God’s presence.

They’re yours for the taking, but many of us fail to notice their availability.

Watch for them in your life—when you have sudden bursts of wisdom, when

you exhibit courage, when you are awestruck by a moment of beauty or

love or forgiveness. These are signs that the Holy Spirit is alive in your life. Look

for them. Today's readings:

Acts 2:1-11; 1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13; Veni Sancte Spiritus; John 20:19-23

(63). “He breathed on them and said,

‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’ ”

June 5th MEMORIAL OF BONIFACE, BISHOP,

MARTYR Confirmed on a daily basis

Confirmation can seem like the odd sacrament out among the seven. Some-

times it’s joined to Baptism in the initiation of adults (RCIA) that we re-

cently celebrated at Easter. More commonly it’s a teen rite of passage when young people get to embrace

personally the faith to which their par-ents and godparents pledged them. For Saint Boniface (c. 680-754), it was the

occasion of his martyrdom as he waited in the open fields for his converts to

arrive for the ritual. His enemies’ am-bush offered its own confirmation of the

faith of Boniface and his attendants. How does your faith get “confirmed”

day by day? Today's readings:

Tobit 1:3; 2:1a-8; Mark 12:1-12 (353). “The stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone.”

June 6th MEMORIAL OF NORBERT, BISHOP

Faith is more than horseplay Many think Saint Paul converted to

Christianity when he was knocked from his horse on the road to Damascus.

Read about it in the Acts of the Apos-tles, and you’ll find a dramatic tale of

conversion, but no horse. Fast-forward 1,000 years or so to the young and care-free nobleman Norbert riding an actual horse on a road in Germany. A thunder-storm spooked the animal, which threw

Norbert to the ground, knocking him out. When he regained consciousness,

he said, “Lord, what would you have me do?” The answer he heard: “Turn away from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it.” Keep your heart and mind

open to God’s call to reorient your life. Today's readings:

Tobit 2:9-14; Mark 12:13-17 (354). “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Cae-sar and to God what belongs to God.”

June 7th

Here are three good reasons You may have noticed at Mass as the

celebrant says, “A reading from the Holy Gospel according to . . .” that he traces a

sign of the cross on the open book. At the same time, people in the congrega-tion make a small sign of the cross on their foreheads, lips, and heart. This

practice dates back at least as far as the 11th century. The significance of this

threefold signing is to express our desire and intention to hear the gospel with an open mind, proclaim it with our lips, and

cherish and safeguard it in our hearts. Make this a conscious habit at Mass and it will help you carry the gospel with you

into the world in how you think, what you say, and how you live.

Today's readings: Tobit 3:1-11a, 16-17a; Mark 12:18-27

(355). “Guide me in your truth and teach me,

for you are God my savior.”

June 8th MEMORIAL OF EPHREM OF SYRIA, DEACON, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH

How can you keep from singing? Saint Ephrem (fourth century) was not much to look at. Small, shriveled, his clothes in patches and covered with dirt, he lived in a cave and ate barley bread and vegetables. Nutritionists

might not have approved of his diet, but everyone, it seemed, loved his music. They called him the “harp of the Holy

Ghost” because of the hymns and homi-lies he composed. Ephrem was one of the first to appreciate the power of sa-

cred song to move the assembly in wor-ship. Take the words of one of your fa-

vorite hymns to prayer, and include

singing in your personal devotion. Today's readings:

Tobit 6:10-11; 7:1bcde, 9-17; 8:4-9a; Mark 12:28-34 (356).

“You are not far from the kingdom of God.

June 9th

”Pray for imperfect leaders” King David was very much a flawed leader. Even so he is acclaimed as a

great defender of his people, a gifted musician, and a poet and is revered not only in Jewish culture but by Christians and Muslims as well. The honorific title

“Son of David” was often applied to Jesus, proving that good results can in-

deed come from our leaders, flawed though they are. Today is a good day to pray for all elected leaders, asking God

to guide them to faithfully fulfill the duties of their offices and to seek jus-

tice, peace, and the common good in all of their efforts.

Today's readings: Tobit 11:5-17; Mark 12:35-37 (357). “Blessed be God, and praised be his

great name, and blessed be all his holy angels.”

June 10th

MEMORIAL OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

Hail Mary in many ways Devotion to Mary has a long tradition in the church. Inscriptions and prayers to

Mary began appearing early in Christian history, and popular devotion to Our

Lady has been a part of Catholic life ever since. A lovely Irish litany from the

eighth century captures the flavor of that devotion, as fresh today as it was

centuries ago. Perhaps you can recite it a few times today. Mary is honored as:

“Mistress of the Heavens, Mother of the Heavenly and Earthly Church, Recrea-

tion of Life, Mistress of the Tribes, Mother of the Orphans, Breast of the

Infants, Queen of Life, Ladder of Heav-en.”

Today's readings: Tobit 12:1, 5-15, 20; Mark 12:38-44

(358). “This poor widow put in more than all

the other contributors to the treasury.”

Pentecost PAGE 6 June 4th, 2017

For Our Military Lord, hold our troops in your lov-ing hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for their selfless acts they perform. Pray for us in our time of need. Amen.

Low Gluten (0.01%) Hosts You will be happy to hear that if you suffer from Celiac Disease we have LOW GLUTEN (0.01%)HOSTS especially for you. Before Mass, go to sacristy to retrieve a host and place it in the pyx designated “for low gluten hosts only” – place the pyx on the tray with the com-munion cups. The priest will consecrate it at Mass. At Communion time join the line where the priest is distributing Communion. Let him know you need to receive a low gluten host. He will open the pyx for you to take a host.
