MOTHERHOOD All mothers are working mothers.

--Anonymous

Next Week is Pentecost Sunday…

St. Athanasius wrote: “The fifty days from the Sunday of the Resurrection to Pentecost Sunday are celebrated in joy and exultation as one feast day, indeed as one ‘great Sunday’. These are the days, above all, in which the Alleluia is sung.”

During these first forty days, Jesus made many appearances to his disciples until His Ascension, which was witnessed by many, a reminder of His second coming.

In the same way, we too prepare for Christ’s Resurrection. Forty Days to the Lord’s Ascension, Fifty to Pentecost Sunday…

We prepare to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday,

fifty days after Easter, the birth of the Church!

Christ’s work on earth is complete.

MOTHER Mother is the name for God on the lips and

in the hearts of little children. --William Makepeace Thackeray

Quo vadis…

My Dear Parishioners: Today we celebrate the Seventh Sunday of Easter. The first reading gives us one instance of how Jesus keeps, protects, and guards us. Peter announces to the gathered disciples that “it is necessary” that Judas be replaced as one of the Twelve. Necessary. This suggests that there is more to the Twelve than leadership and mission. After all, Matthias could have been leader of a Christian community and carried on Jesus’ mission without being chosen by Lot to be numbered among the Twelve—countless men and women have done so since that time, including ourselves. The action is symbolic—the Lord’s disciples must be “complete”—bringing the number back to twelve suggests that the new Israel will be whole, kept, guarded, protected and able to fruitfully carry forth Jesus’ mission. The second reading gives us another instance—Jesus sent the Spirit to be with us to ensure that we remain in him. Our own lives witness to other instances of how Jesus keeps, protects, and guards us—when we have those moments of inspiration, when we know exactly what to do in a tough situation, when we are tired yet choose to lend a helping hand and this action brings a radiant smile, when we are lost for comforting words and then they just seem to flow from us. These are times when we know Jesus is still praying for us. All of the confidence and protection Jesus promises in his prayer rests on our surrendering to Jesus’ discipleship—we

must speak words of truth to a world that may or may not receive our words. John’s “world” is everything that is opposed to Jesus—yet God clearly loves the world because his Son was sent to redeem the world. We may die because of the hatred the world has for the truth; but what life we find in God’s love.

Congratulations to our First Communicants, their Parents and family members. Thanks to all of our catechists and faith formation staff who are overseen by our Pastoral Coordinator for RE & Faith Formation, Dr. Jim Bridges, and the scores and scores of parishioners and staff who collaborate with him in forming and educating our children and families. Next weekend the Church observes the Solemnity of Pentecost which concludes the Liturgical Season of Easter (50 days). The Concluding Rites of the Mass specify that we intone the dismissal with the double alleluia as a reminder that Pentecost concludes the Easter Season. Just a reminder…wear something RED next weekend when coming to church! This will assist us in “decorating our place of worship” for this great solemnity. And we will provide an accounting of the 2018 Easter Collection.

This week, 16 May, I celebrated the 26th Anniversary of Priestly Ordination, year 27 has begun. Please pray for me and for all priests. Have a great week. Let us remember one another in prayer. Happy Mother’s Day! Peace. Father Jeff

Proclaiming the Joy of the Gospel on Catholic Radio!!

Dear Saint Mary Parish,

"Do not lay up. for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for

yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. " Mt 6: 19-2 1

I want to take this opportunity to personally thank you for your generous participation in our 2018 Spring Radio-thon . It was an exciting three days for us, and we were overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support that we received. Because of generous people like you, we can bring the light of Christ and the Joy of the Gospel to so many people each day. We are blessed to have you as a part of our Domestic Church Media family !

Twenty years ago this year, I had the great blessing of meeting with the Foundress of EWTN, Mother Angelica. I expressed my desire to bring EWTN Catholic Radio to New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It is an experience that I will never forget. Mother placed her hands on mine and said, "Pray to Our Lady of Good Remedy, she will help you ." We have been praying to her ever since!

May the Risen Lord abundantly bless you and your family and may the Holy Family of Nazareth dwell in your heart and home always.

Yours in Christ,

Additionally, because of your contributions, we were able to send $500 to the Catholic Communications Campaign.

Building & Mortgage Reduction Fund $4,672.00 (Our monthly mortgage payment is $6,289.04)

This past week our parish transferred $3,000 from our stewardship income to support the activities of St. Mary Parish Social Concerns Outreach.
