Stewardship of Treasure Second Sunday of Lent Sunday, March 8, 2020

“Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you.” ~ Genesis 12:1 God calls all of us to leave behind our old ways and to follow Him, placing our complete trust in Him. Some of the old ways that we may have to struggle to leave behind might be materialism, selfishness and greed. Yet God promises to show us a new land and a better way to live. Remember what St. Teresa of Calcutta said, “God does not call us to be successful, God calls us to be faithful.”

Second Sunday of Lent Sunday, March 8, 2020

First Reading: Genesis 12:1-4a God calls Abraham to leave his family and people and go to a new land. God promises to make the people of this new nation great and to bless Abraham. Second Reading: 2 Timothy 1:8b-10 Paul, from his place of imprisonment in Rome, writes words of encouragement to Timothy, telling him that Christ is for them everlasting life. Gospel: Matthew 17:1-9 Wishing to reveal His glory to Peter, James and John, Jesus takes them to a mountain where He is transfigured before them. When Peter exclaims that he will build three tabernacles here in honor of Jesus, Moses and Elijah, a voice from above proclaims: “This is My beloved Son on whom My favor rests. Listen to Him.”

Stations of the Cross will be prayed on Tuesday evenings March 10, 17 & 24 at 7:30 pm (following the Rosary) in the church. Please join us for this simple and personal reflection on the passion of Christ’s journey to the Cross.

Lenten Abstinence & Fasting Guidelines & Reflections

Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years and older on all Fridays during Lent. Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59. Those who are bound on by this may fast from one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength according to one’s needs, but eating solid food between meals is not permitted. Lent calls us to be with Jesus. Making Jesus our focus and placing ourselves in His Presence will bring us closer to live as resurrected Christians at Easter. Choose these forty days to live with Christ who was nourished by prayer and fasting and lived in communion with God. For daily Lenten reflections, please visit:

Liturgical Changes Per the Diocese of Paterson & St. Matthew’s Parish

With ongoing concerns due to the flu and Corona virus, the Diocese of Paterson and St. Matthew’s have implemented the following liturgical changes: Reception of the precious blood has been temporarily

suspended. Please consider reception of the Blessed Sacrament on

your hands, not on your tongue. At the beginning of Mass and during the sign of peace,

kindly refrain from shaking hands. Please choose another appropriate greeting.

During the Lord’s Prayer, it is suggested that you refrain from holding hands.

While there are many false claims with regard to the spread of these illnesses, we remind you to make sure your wash your hands with warm soapy water or use anti-bacterial hand sanitizer. It is also suggested that you exercise discretion, if you happen to be exhibiting flu-like symptoms, in choosing to come to mass.

Hope Builders To our St. Matthew’s family we say, Thank You! Once again we have been overwhelmed with your generosity. Through the raffle ticket sales we raised $1,000 toward our mission trip to Kentucky in July. The winner of the dinner for 6 was Ticket # 194674. Thank you!

Live the Liturgy Inspiration for the Week

Have you ever given much thought to who you were really created to be? Our lives are the product of various circumstances, choices, predetermined scenarios, and a whole host of events and inherited baggage. All of these components come together and form the person we understand ourselves to be. Jesus knew who he was and who he was becoming. He showed his transfigured self to his disciples on a high mountain and revealed to them who he was really meant to be. The weaknesses, imperfections, fears, and impressions that we carry with us often color our choices and hinder us from really seeing the greater picture of who we are. What do you imagine your transfigured self to be? Jesus promises a new life in heaven. Have you ever given much thought to what that may mean for you?

In Our Parish

Gospel Meditation Encourage Deeper Understanding of Scripture

Psychology has taught us a great deal about family dynamics and how we have come to be the person we find ourselves to be. We are comprised of such a mixed bag of blessings and obstacles with their graced moments and sinful ones. Think back on the journey of life and how the many different and varied choices that you made influenced the direction your life. If you didn’t go on that first date with your spouse, who would be beside you today? If you chose to be in one place rather than another, what would have happened to the course your life has taken? We are on such a wonderful, exciting journey. What is most incredible and awesome is that we are not alone! God is with us. He inspires, heals, opens doors, and calls us every moment of our lives. The very life we have is due only to Him. We can all sit down and list adjectives describing who we are. One may find him or herself more artistic than another or quicker with wit. We have unique gifts and talents and have the great gift of free will, which we treasure. Our histories come with more baggage for some and less hurdles for others, but we all have to find our way through the path we are on. However, have you ever given much thought to who you really are? That question has more merit than may at first appear. We know ourselves as we live out our earthly journey. But do we know our heavenly self? What we know here is only one small part of who God has made us to be. The disciples really thought they knew Jesus until they went up the mountain. We also may think we know our true selves, too. We know that in eternal life we shall not only see God, but become like Him.

Who will you be? What surprise do you think God has for you?

Prayer Support for Our St. Matthew’s Confirmation Candidates
