“Jesus said to his disciples: “Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come. It is like a

The Sanctuary Candle will burn
this week for James O’Donnell
From the Pastor’s Desk…
My Dear Friends in Christ,
It has come to my attention, from a devout parishioner, that there will be a fortune teller
sponsored by Shop Rite of Clinton on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, of all days! I think this is more than coincidence but a truly gross act
of anti-Catholicism. Going to mediums, fortune tellers and playing with Ouija boards are
a direct opposition to our faith and a grave matter for confession. As your pastor, I would be
remiss not to warn of the severity of such a thing. Please pray for the conversion of this
medium who is attempting to contact the dead and that the Clinton Shop Rite would decline to
sponsor this event. As Catholics, we pray for the dead, that they rest in peace, that their time
in purgatory is short. We do not conjure up their spirits.
Sacred Scripture condemns all sorts of occultism. It violates the First Commandment, “I am
the Lord Your God, you shall have not any strange gods before me.” Here are some of the
scripture references; Exodus 22:18, Deuteronomy 18:9-12, Galatians 5:19-21, and Revelation
21:8 to mention a few.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church deals with the violation of the first commandment,
specifically fortune tellers in paragraph 2116. It states: “All forms of divination are to be
rejected: recourse to Satan or demons conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely sup-
posed to ‘unveil’ the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of
omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire
for power over time, history, and in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to
conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect and loving fear that we owe to
God alone.”
Let us pray to Almighty God through the intercession of Our Lady, who constantly shows us
the way back to her Son, that we may remain steadfast in our faith, and strong in our witness
to Christ our Lord.
Yours in Jesus and Mary,
Fr. Brighenti
Evangelization & Mission
Eucharistic Adoration: Persevering
in God’s Grace “My grace is sufficient for you for power is made perfect in
weakness” -2 COR12:9
The Christian journey takes perseverance.
Scripture says that even “the just man falls seven
times a day” (Proverbs 24:16). Despite the fact
that we seek to avoid sin and to practice virtue,
our human nature is prone to weakness. Often we
can feel this weakness as a great burden, yet Jesus
is there to console us. In Eucharistic Adoration
we come into contact with a God who has made
Himself ‘small and weak’ in order to make us
strong-- in Him. We can come to Jesus with our
burdens and ask Him to heal us and to give us His
grace to persevere to the end. God does not ask us
to be successful but to be faithful. Then we can
say with St. Paul, “When I am weak, then I am
strong” (2 COR.12:10).
Adoration Takes Place:
From after the 9:00 am Mass until 11:00 pm, Monday, Tuesday, and Friday
From after the 9:00 am Mass until 7:00 pm Wednesday and Thursday
Overnight Adoration takes place Every First Friday of the month until 8am Mass
(See website for details)
For more information or to sign-up for an hour, contact Lucille Hess at (908) 788-5988.
“Being Lost”
How many times have you been lost? Not knowing where
you are and having a hard time finding your way back.
The earliest memory for me was when I was five years
old. Lost in what a five year old might consider the
biggest world, Disney. Caught up in the excitement, for
just a moment I was distracted and wandered off.
Thankfully my guardian angel grabbed my hand and
brought me to the nearest security. It was scary. But when
I finally saw my parents, their love was what I desperately
desired.
“The lost I will seek out, the strayed I will bring back.”
There are so many ways that we become lost, both
physically and spiritually. Today’s society is filled with
distractions that we can easily lose our way. For many, if
we were to stop just for a moment and ask, “Where is my
life leading me?” we might see how far we have ‘strayed
away’ from a path we are called to follow.
“I myself will pasture my sheep”
Jesus said that, “I am the way, the truth and the light, no
one comes to the Father except through me” (Jn14:6). We
all want to know ‘the way’ in life, especially when we get
lost. Jesus is ‘the way’. He was sent to proclaim ‘Good
News’ that recovers sight to the blind and free the
oppressed. Through his ‘words and deeds’ we encounter
this ‘Good News’ that can transform us and help us
‘follow him on the way’ (Mark 10:52)
Words from Pope Francis: “The Joy of the Gospel”
“The good news is the joy of the Father who desires that
none of his little ones be lost, the joy of the Good
Shepherd who finds the lost sheep and brings it back to
the flock. The Gospel is the leaven which causes the
dough to rise and the city on the hill whose light illumines
all peoples.”
Personal Reflection:
What is going to be the light that illumines your path to-
day?
The Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, desires to guide your
heart deeper into his pasture.
Start each day this week asking the Holy Spirit to open
your heart so you may hear the voice of the Shepherd
calling for you.
In Christ
Darrin Pastoral Administrator
“Come, follow me.”

First Reading: Ezekiel 34:11-12, 15-17 This passage beautifully describes how the
Lord God, as shepherd, will tend his flock. He
will rescue those who are lost, bring back
those who stray, heal the sick, and “pasture”
all.
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:20-26, 28
Paul once again stresses the significance of Christ’s resurrection in the total divine plan,
emphasizing that Christ’s rising means that
those who believe in him will also rise after
death. Christianity, he argues, is meaningless
if it concerns only this life on earth. In the
end, even death will be destroyed, and “God
will be all in all.”
Gospel: Matthew 25:31-46
With words both poetic and vivid, Jesus tells
the disciples that since he is present in all
people, whatever they do to “one of my least
brothers” they do to him; and whatever they
fail to do to his “least,” they fail to do to him.

Liturgia de la Palabra
Primera Lectura: Ezequiel 34:11-12, 15-17 Este pasaje describe bellamente cómo el Señor Dios, como pastor, cuidará de su rebaño. Rescatará a aquellos que están perdidos, traerá de regreso a los que se separan, sanará a los enfermos, y alimentará a todos.
Segunda Lectura: 1 Corintios 15:20-26, 28
De nuevo Pablo recalca el significado de la resurrección de Cristo en el plan divino, enfatizando que significa que aquellos que creen en El también resucitarán después de la muerte. Declara que el cristianismo no significa nada si se trata sólo de la vida en la tierra. Al final, aún la muerte será destruída, y “Dios será todo en todo.”
Evangelio: San Mateo 25:31-46 Con palabras vívidas e intensas, Jesús les dice a sus discípulos que ya que El está presente en todas las personas, todo lo que hagan “por uno de estos hermanos míos más humildes”, lo hacen por El; y que lo que no hagan por uno de los
más “humildes”, fallaron de hacerlo por El.
