“Nativitas tua, Dei Genitrix Virgo,
gaudium annuntiavit universo mundo.” Thy nativity, O Virgin Mother of God
has announced joy to the whole world.
Please Remember in Your Prayers.. The deceased clergy of St. Charles Borromeo and St. John the Evangelist. Deceased members of the Cunnion and Palatucci Families.
THE INFIRMED: Dr. Martha Bouchard, Michael Campbell, Fr. Patrick Curley, Dan Flannagan, Robin Miley, Frank Morrisey, Angela Nash, Aide Nieves, Bridget Teresa O'Hara, Mary O'Loughlin, Andrea Ortiz, Charles Oswald, Jr., Dan Peters, Arleen Scanlon, Anastasia Siemasko & Family, Paul Upham, Kathy Wrobel.
Fr. Palatucci is forming a Eucharistic Holy Hour prayer group that will meet each Friday night from 7 – 8 PM. The Holy Hour will consist of Exposition followed by Adoration and Benediction. The focus of the Holy Hour will be twofold: vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life from our parish and 2) an increase of faith amongst families, especially those from our religious education (PREP). Through prayer and witness, let's begin to rebuild our parish and bring back families to the beauty, grandeur, and truth of our faith. The weekly Holy Hour will begin on the First Friday in September 2021. Please call the office to sign up or email us at [email protected]. Each adorer will take names of PREP family/or families to whom they'll focus their prayer hour. I sincerely hope you consider joining us in the much needed apostolate by offering one hour each Friday night to help rebuild our parish. But even if you cannot make the Holy Hour, please remember to pray for the family assigned to you.

To add a name or have one taken off the prayer list, Please call the rectory office or e-mail [email protected].
Adoration Prayer Time
Adoration, please keep in mind the others present there
who wish to pray quietly and without hindrance. All
prayers should be done silently, and there should be no
public praying of the Holy Rosary, the Divine Mercy
Chaplet, or other prayers ‘out loud’. These prayers are
beneficial to one’s prayer life and relationship with God but
are also private devotions and should be reserved as such
during this time. Only the pastor reserves the right to grant
permission to recite these prayers publicly in a group
setting and only under his guidance and direction as we
already do each morning after Mass.
Thank you, Fr. Palatucci

Thanks so much! Nan
Priesthood Sunday USA which was inaugurated
in 2002. This is the time each year to express
appreciation and gratitude to all the priests who
have served God’s people. It is a way to allow
Catholics to recognize good priests who, day in
and day out, do an outstanding job in serving
them in parishes across America. The focus is on
the place of the priesthood as a central reality in
the life of the Church. The shortage of vocations
makes priests less visible and, consequently, less
prominent. Ask your people to remember their
priests and to thank them for what they do to
bring the Lord to the faithful through the
sacraments. Visit the Serra International website
at https://serraus.org/priesthood-sunday/. Also,
visit the archdiocesan
website, www.nypriest.com.
Please continue, through your prayers and generosity, to support the important work of priestly
formation. This year, the annual collection for Saint Joseph’s Seminary will be received on September
26. This collection provides critical funding to support the formation of future priests for the
archdiocese. The cost of housing and educating seminarians is an investment for tomorrow, and the
participation of the parishes is an invaluable aspect of this endeavor. This is the seminary’s 125th year.

THE CHURCH DOES NOT COLLECT UNSOLICITED DONATIONS OF ANY GOODS.
Recently people have been leaving their old holy cards, rosaries, holy pictures, old clothing, and even
kitchen utensils at the churches. While I understand everyone’s need to find a place where these can be of
use, 99% of the time they get thrown away.
Here is some information that may help you.
• When a religious organization is looking for a donation, they’ll usually send a rosary, prayer card, or
holy card pictures along with their solicitation. The cards and holy pictures can be thrown away. But
if you uneasy in throwing an unblessed rosary away, then may I suggest you bury it. Do not feel
guilty doing so. There’s no sin when you do. These organizations should never send blessed items in
the mail to entice donations since once an item is blessed it should never be sold or used as a
solicitation.
• To prevent further contact from these organizations, it is best to send a small donation to them with
a letter requesting that your name be removed from their mailing list. Also request that your name
be removed from any list being sold to other organizations. (Yes, they can do that legally, and they
usually do.)
• Old clothing and household items such as utensils, pots and pans, etc., can be donated to either the
Pawling Resource Center or the Center for Compassion in Dover Plains or The Pawling Methodist
Church Thrift Shop. Please do not leave them here at the church since we cannot use them, and they
will be discarded.
Again, I understand the sentiment and desire to give these to a person in need, but the parish has neither
the need for these items nor the staff to redistribute them. It’s best to donate them to one of the area
organizations that help the poor.

Pray: Lord Jesus: Open my senses to You so I can experience Your saving presence in my life. May this joy be an
eternal praise in me, a testimony of Your love and Your faithfulness. Amen.
Isaiah 35:4-7a
How to have eyes that see and ears that hear
The readings for this Sunday show us God's concern for the disabled. How closely do we share in his concern for
them?
We're all disabled, one way or another. We can have eyes that see and still be blind. In fact, the scripture from
James shows us just how blind we can be!
If we see only how a person dresses, for example, without seeing into their hearts to recognize their gifts and
talents and unique reflection of God, we are being judgmental. If we are more impressed by a person's wealth or
title or college degrees than we are by his/her spiritual energy or insights or willingness to serve, we are being
judgmental.
Only God can see all the good that's in a person's heart, and yet we make assumptions about others as if we're
equal to God. Only God can hear the motives and longings behind a person's words, and yet we quickly judge
what is being said as if we know exactly what is meant.
Judgmentalism shows us nothing more than how truly blind we are.
Jesus wants to say to each of us: "Ephphatha! May your eyes and ears and mind be opened to the truth!" However,
so that we can receive this healing, we have to slow down and stop reacting to what's visible and audible. We
cannot trust what we see and hear. We need to take time to prayerfully pause for wisdom and discernment and
new discoveries.
This is one of the reasons why Jesus gave us his Holy Spirit. When we let God's Spirit interpret everything for us,
instead of reacting, we will act the way the Lord wants us to. Instead of reacting to partial information, we will act
with faith and compassion.
Questions for Personal Reflection:
In what ways do you show partiality toward some people? What types of people do you tend to automatically
prefer, based on outward appearances? And whom do you tend to dislike until you get to know them better? How
will you begin to change this automatic reaction by relying on the Holy Spirit?
Questions for Community Faith Sharing:
In what ways have you been judged unfairly? How does it feel? Are you judging those who judged you,
neglecting to look deeper inside of them? Next, take turns in your group naming a false accusation that caused
suffering, followed by other members describing the goodness that the accusers were too blind to see. (This last
part is very important -- it is Jesus providing healing!)

Good News Reflection 23er. Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Septiembre 5, 2021
Ora: Señor Jesús: abre mis sentidos a Ti, para que experimente Tu presencia salvadora en mi vida. Que esta
alegría sea una eterna alabanza en mí, testimonio de Tu amor y Tu fidelidad. Amén.
Isaías 35, 4-7a
Santiago 2, 1-5
Marcos 7, 31-37
Cómo tener ojos que vean y oídos que escuchen
Las lecturas para este domingo, nos muestran la preocupación de Dios por los discapacitados. ¿Cuánto
compartimos con Él la preocupación por ellos?
Todos somos discapacitados, de una forma u otra. Podemos tener ojos que vean y, aun así, ser ciegos. ¡En
realidad, la escritura de Santiago nos demuestra qué ciegos podemos ser!
Si sólo vemos cómo se viste una persona, por ejemplo, sin ver dentro de su corazón para poder reconocer sus
dones, talentos y el reflejo de Dios, estamos juzgando. Si nos impresiona más la riqueza de una persona, o su
título, o el grado alcanzado en la universidad, que su energía espiritual, o su sabiduría interior, o la disponibilidad
para servir, estamos juzgando.
Sólo Dios puede ver todo el bien que hay en el corazón de una persona, y, a pesar de ello, hacemos suposiciones
sobre los demás, como si fuéramos iguales a Dios. Sólo Dios puede escuchar los motivos y los anhelos detrás de
las palabras de una persona, y, no obstante ello, juzgamos rápidamente lo que se dice, como si supiéramos,
exactamente, lo que se quiere decir.
Enjuiciar a los demás nos demuestra, nada más, cuán verdaderamente ciegos somos.
Jesús quiere decirnos a cada uno de nosotros: "¡Efetá! ¡Que tus ojos y oídos y mente, se abran a la verdad!" No
obstante, para que podamos recibir esta sanación, debemos ir más despacio y dejar de reaccionar hacia lo que es
visible y audible. No podemos confiar en lo que vemos y oímos. Necesitamos tomarnos tiempo para detenernos a
orar, pidiendo sabiduría, discernimiento y nuevos descubrimientos.
Esta es una de las razones por las cuales Jesús nos dio Su Espíritu Santo. Cuando dejamos que el Espíritu Santo
interprete todo por nosotros, en lugar de reaccionar, actuamos de la forma en que Jesús desea que lo hagamos. En
vez de reaccionar a la información parcial, actuaremos con fe y compasión.
Preguntas para la Reflexión Personal:
¿De qué maneras te muestras de forma parcial hacia las demás personas? ¿Qué clase de personas tiendes,
automáticamente, a preferir, basándote en las apariencias externas? ¿Y quiénes tienden a desagradarte, hasta que
los conoces mejor? ¿Cómo comenzarás a cambiar esta reacción automática, confiando en el Espíritu Santo?
Preguntas para Compartir la Fe en Comunidad:
¿De qué formas has sido juzgado injustamente? ¿Cómo se siente? ¿Estás juzgando a aquellos que te juzgaron,
descuidando el mirar más profundamente dentro de ellos? A continuación, por turno en tu grupo, nombren una
acusación falsa que causó sufrimiento, mientras que otros miembros describen la bondad que, los acusadores,
estaban demasiado ciegos para verla. (Esta última parte es muy importante -- ¡es Jesús sanando!)

Chaplet, or other prayers ‘out loud’. These prayers are
beneficial to one’s prayer life and relationship with God but
are also private devotions and should be reserved as such
during this time. Only the pastor reserves the right to grant
permission to recite these prayers publicly in a group
setting and only under his guidance and direction as we
already do each morning after Mass.
Thank you, Fr. Palatucci

Priesthood Sunday USA which was inaugurated
in 2002. This is the time each year to express
appreciation and gratitude to all the priests who
have served God’s people. It is a way to allow
Catholics to recognize good priests who, day in
and day out, do an outstanding job in serving
them in parishes across America. The focus is on
the place of the priesthood as a central reality in
the life of the Church. The shortage of vocations
makes priests less visible and, consequently, less
prominent. Ask your people to remember their
priests and to thank them for what they do to
bring the Lord to the faithful through the
sacraments. Visit the Serra International website
at https://serraus.org/priesthood-sunday/. Also,
visit the archdiocesan
website, www.nypriest.com.
Please continue, through your prayers and generosity, to support the important work of priestly
formation. This year, the annual collection for Saint Joseph’s Seminary will be received on September
26. This collection provides critical funding to support the formation of future priests for the
archdiocese. The cost of housing and educating seminarians is an investment for tomorrow, and the
participation of the parishes is an invaluable aspect of this endeavor. This is the seminary’s 125th year.

THE CHURCH DOES NOT COLLECT UNSOLICITED DONATIONS OF ANY GOODS.
Recently people have been leaving their old holy cards, rosaries, holy pictures, old clothing, and even
kitchen utensils at the churches. While I understand everyone’s need to find a place where these can be of
use, 99% of the time they get thrown away.
Here is some information that may help you.
• When a religious organization is looking for a donation, they’ll usually send a rosary, prayer card, or
holy card pictures along with their solicitation. The cards and holy pictures can be thrown away. But
if you uneasy in throwing an unblessed rosary away, then may I suggest you bury it. Do not feel
guilty doing so. There’s no sin when you do. These organizations should never send blessed items in
the mail to entice donations since once an item is blessed it should never be sold or used as a
solicitation.
• To prevent further contact from these organizations, it is best to send a small donation to them with
a letter requesting that your name be removed from their mailing list. Also request that your name
be removed from any list being sold to other organizations. (Yes, they can do that legally, and they
usually do.)
• Old clothing and household items such as utensils, pots and pans, etc., can be donated to either the
Pawling Resource Center or the Center for Compassion in Dover Plains or The Pawling Methodist
Church Thrift Shop. Please do not leave them here at the church since we cannot use them, and they
will be discarded.
Again, I understand the sentiment and desire to give these to a person in need, but the parish has neither
the need for these items nor the staff to redistribute them. It’s best to donate them to one of the area
organizations that help the poor.

Isaiah 35:4-7a
How to have eyes that see and ears that hear
The readings for this Sunday show us God's concern for the disabled. How closely do we share in his concern for
them?
We're all disabled, one way or another. We can have eyes that see and still be blind. In fact, the scripture from
James shows us just how blind we can be!
If we see only how a person dresses, for example, without seeing into their hearts to recognize their gifts and
talents and unique reflection of God, we are being judgmental. If we are more impressed by a person's wealth or
title or college degrees than we are by his/her spiritual energy or insights or willingness to serve, we are being
judgmental.
Only God can see all the good that's in a person's heart, and yet we make assumptions about others as if we're
equal to God. Only God can hear the motives and longings behind a person's words, and yet we quickly judge
what is being said as if we know exactly what is meant.
Judgmentalism shows us nothing more than how truly blind we are.
Jesus wants to say to each of us: "Ephphatha! May your eyes and ears and mind be opened to the truth!" However,
so that we can receive this healing, we have to slow down and stop reacting to what's visible and audible. We
cannot trust what we see and hear. We need to take time to prayerfully pause for wisdom and discernment and
new discoveries.
This is one of the reasons why Jesus gave us his Holy Spirit. When we let God's Spirit interpret everything for us,
instead of reacting, we will act the way the Lord wants us to. Instead of reacting to partial information, we will act
with faith and compassion.
Questions for Personal Reflection:
In what ways do you show partiality toward some people? What types of people do you tend to automatically
prefer, based on outward appearances? And whom do you tend to dislike until you get to know them better? How
will you begin to change this automatic reaction by relying on the Holy Spirit?
Questions for Community Faith Sharing:
In what ways have you been judged unfairly? How does it feel? Are you judging those who judged you,
neglecting to look deeper inside of them? Next, take turns in your group naming a false accusation that caused
suffering, followed by other members describing the goodness that the accusers were too blind to see. (This last
part is very important -- it is Jesus providing healing!)

Good News Reflection 23er. Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Septiembre 5, 2021
Ora: Señor Jesús: abre mis sentidos a Ti, para que experimente Tu presencia salvadora en mi vida. Que esta
alegría sea una eterna alabanza en mí, testimonio de Tu amor y Tu fidelidad. Amén.
Isaías 35, 4-7a
Santiago 2, 1-5
Marcos 7, 31-37
Cómo tener ojos que vean y oídos que escuchen
Las lecturas para este domingo, nos muestran la preocupación de Dios por los discapacitados. ¿Cuánto
compartimos con Él la preocupación por ellos?
Todos somos discapacitados, de una forma u otra. Podemos tener ojos que vean y, aun así, ser ciegos. ¡En
realidad, la escritura de Santiago nos demuestra qué ciegos podemos ser!
Si sólo vemos cómo se viste una persona, por ejemplo, sin ver dentro de su corazón para poder reconocer sus
dones, talentos y el reflejo de Dios, estamos juzgando. Si nos impresiona más la riqueza de una persona, o su
título, o el grado alcanzado en la universidad, que su energía espiritual, o su sabiduría interior, o la disponibilidad
para servir, estamos juzgando.
Sólo Dios puede ver todo el bien que hay en el corazón de una persona, y, a pesar de ello, hacemos suposiciones
sobre los demás, como si fuéramos iguales a Dios. Sólo Dios puede escuchar los motivos y los anhelos detrás de
las palabras de una persona, y, no obstante ello, juzgamos rápidamente lo que se dice, como si supiéramos,
exactamente, lo que se quiere decir.
Enjuiciar a los demás nos demuestra, nada más, cuán verdaderamente ciegos somos.
Jesús quiere decirnos a cada uno de nosotros: "¡Efetá! ¡Que tus ojos y oídos y mente, se abran a la verdad!" No
obstante, para que podamos recibir esta sanación, debemos ir más despacio y dejar de reaccionar hacia lo que es
visible y audible. No podemos confiar en lo que vemos y oímos. Necesitamos tomarnos tiempo para detenernos a
orar, pidiendo sabiduría, discernimiento y nuevos descubrimientos.
Esta es una de las razones por las cuales Jesús nos dio Su Espíritu Santo. Cuando dejamos que el Espíritu Santo
interprete todo por nosotros, en lugar de reaccionar, actuamos de la forma en que Jesús desea que lo hagamos. En
vez de reaccionar a la información parcial, actuaremos con fe y compasión.
Preguntas para la Reflexión Personal:
¿De qué maneras te muestras de forma parcial hacia las demás personas? ¿Qué clase de personas tiendes,
automáticamente, a preferir, basándote en las apariencias externas? ¿Y quiénes tienden a desagradarte, hasta que
los conoces mejor? ¿Cómo comenzarás a cambiar esta reacción automática, confiando en el Espíritu Santo?
Preguntas para Compartir la Fe en Comunidad:
¿De qué formas has sido juzgado injustamente? ¿Cómo se siente? ¿Estás juzgando a aquellos que te juzgaron,
descuidando el mirar más profundamente dentro de ellos? A continuación, por turno en tu grupo, nombren una
acusación falsa que causó sufrimiento, mientras que otros miembros describen la bondad que, los acusadores,
estaban demasiado ciegos para verla. (Esta última parte es muy importante -- ¡es Jesús sanando!)
