Saint Gabriel the Archangel Saddle River
Paul’s back! After last week’s “violent abuse,” oppo-nents organized a lynch mob that beat Paul nearly to death. But call Paul the “energizing evangelist,” transforming deadly cruelty into life-giving zeal. Paul’s past courage should inspire our com-mitment; Revelation’s future “new heaven, new earth” should inspire our optimism. But Revelation’s present assurance, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race,” should chal-lenge us to become “missionaries of mercy.” Because Pope Fran-cis declared that the Church’s credibility is completely dependent on our showing unconditional mercy. Mercy, said Francis, makes the Church, the world, and everyone young again, reawakened to life’s noblest virtues. Fittingly, in today’s Gospel Jesus reinforces that theme: “This is how all will know you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Peace, Fr. Frank

TURN TO MARY
During the month of May, we honor Mary, the Mother of God (and ours, too). Turn to her for guidance and protection and she will bring you to her Son: “Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.” “His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatev-er he tells you’”

WHY DO CATHOLICS INVOKE THE HOLY SPIRIT?
As the Third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit is invoked every time we make the Sign of the Cross. In Baptism, he dwells in our souls and makes us children of God. He makes us recep-tive to God’s grace. He also teaches and helps us to pray. He guides and protects the Church. Through his gifts, he inspires and enables us to do the good we ought to do.
ST. JOHN BAPTIST DE ROSSI
Born in Voltaggio Italy, St. John Baptist de Rossi was born to devout middle class parents. Being an excellent student, he was invited to join the Roman College at the age of thirteen! Ten years later, John was ordained a priest. He spent his days serving prisoners, workers and the patients of the local hospitals, and his nights ministering to the poor people of the street. He died of illness worn out by his labors.
POPE ST. GREGORY VII - May 25
Pope Gregory worked to eliminate corruption in the Church and defended it from attacks on its authority. For this he suffered and died in exile.
OUR LADY OF FATIMA - May 13, 1917
