Come, Pray, Belong Sunday Reflection 3rd Sunday of Easter “Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ But they were startled and frightened…” -LUKE 24:36-37

Throughout the day we have many opportunities to “see the face of Jesus” in others and to “be the face of Jesus” to others. Do we take that opportunity to provide “peace” to those we encounter or are we afraid of what others will think of us and do nothing? Pray for the strength to live a “God-centered” life and not a “self-centered” life.

Weekly Reflection By Matthew Ziarnik

Repentance, prayer, and fasting throughout the year

Easter and Lent have just finished and now most of us return to regular life. But this year let’s take a different route. Instead of going back to where we were before, let’s build upon our Lenten experience and change our lives. The most important goals of Lent were to repent, pray, and fast, in order to prepare ourselves for Easter. Let’s use these goals to change our daily life. Repentance in today’s culture is seen negatively because our society believes that everyone should do whatever they want and thus a person should not feel guilt. Guilt helps us realize that our actions were bad and it prevents us from committing the action again. All of us have felt guilt at one point or another because we are all children of God, and whenever we do something wrong we realize that ultimately our relationship with God has been severed (even if we do not realize it). This year let’s go to confession monthly. This way we can think about where we made mistakes and try to fix the part of our lives which are faulty.

Mass 12:10 PM

Prayer can be seen as weird and countercultural as society tells us to always be occupied. We go from being on our phone, to watching TV, to going on Youtube. We are constantly occupied and we leave little time for God and for our own personal growth. Prayer helps us realize who we are and what will make us happy. Our body might tell us that we want more and more, but our soul will tell us that more does not make us happy. Social Media (although helpful when used reasonably) has invaded our lives to such a point where we limit ourselves from experiencing life.We should aim to pray a little more this year. Maybe that involves saying some prayers with our children before they go to school. Maybe that means we could celebrate Mass an extra day out of the week. One of the most powerful prayers is the daily examen. It helps us look over our day and relate it all to God. This year let’s pray the daily examen (research it online for more information) and develop a relationship with Jesus. It will seem boring and useless, but if we are determined we will see our relationship with God will grow.

Other Daily Masses available in the Deanery: St Ann 7 AM Monday Friday St Francis 8 AM Monday Friday St Lawrence Tuesday Thursday 9:30 AM OLG 12:30 PM Monday Friday OLG 7PM Monday Thursday

The Church only recommends that we fast two days out of the year. But even on these two days, we often only eat slightly less. Fasting helps us realize that our lives are not solely based on comfort. Fasting helps us turn our eyes to God as we realize that we cannot live without him. Our whole lives we are told to rely on ourselves and that we must be individualistic. Only when we see that our lives do not rely around ourselves can we truly find Jesus in others. This year let’s aim to not eat meat on any Friday out of the year. It will be a slight discomfort but it would help us understand that everything is a gift from God and maybe it could become a topic of conversation about our faith with someone who isn’t Catholic.

Tuesday, April 17

Hopefully we’ll take some lessons from Lent and apply them to our daily lives. Lent is a period of renewal and a reminder of our pilgrimage through life. Jesus reminded us that if “anyone would come after me, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me” -Matthew 16:24-26.

ABOUT MASS INTENTIONS

Special graces may be obtained when a priest applies the Mass to a particular intention. When Mass is said for a deceased person, the entire Church unites to ask God to remember them and welcome them in His light. Masses can also be offered for the intention of a living souls as well as for your special days: birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and engagement. Offering a Mass for them invites Jesus to be present during those times. Because the intention is essentially a spiritual act, its publication neither adds nor subtracts from its efficacy.

The Occasional Monthly Maintenance Chat We are visited by a leak in the left corner of the altar whenever a wind driven rain washes over us. Our vendors, Bower Roofing and Union Stone have

been invited to provide bids for this repair. The photo shows the location and what we think is salt clinging to the side of the building close to the point of the leak. Hopefully this is the clue which will facilitate a "once and done" remedy!

New exit lights have been installed above the interior church doors. A

future bulletin will include emergency exit information. Additionally, "crash" bars will be installed by Monaco Locksmith at four different egress points. This project will ensure efficient evacuation in the event of need.

New emergency lights and carbon monoxide detectors have been installed in the rectory and B16 residence floors where needed. The best part, ten year batteries!

The gates of the dual stairways leading to the Waterfront Room at the front of the church are to be replaced. Currently they open inwardly, against

the flow of exit. Scissor gates are being considered with magnetic locks for security.

Applied Protection Tech recently tested all of the smoke alarms in the church. Also, the fire extinguishers have been inspected. They will be replaced or refurbished as needed. Both of these tasks are an annual requirement.

Also, pictured is the Ventrac 3400, our snow moving machine. Unfortunately

the Ventrac 3400 no longer moves because (during our most recent Nor'easter) the main engine belt snapped. Before wrestling it into the garage, the brush attachment needed to be removed. We are exploring options for repair and updated maintenance.

The HVAC project for the rectory is scheduled to begin once this year's heating season is over. Some may have noticed the new pole with three transformers outside the B16 building. At some time, the parking lot will be closed for a week so electricians can trench for the upgraded power feeds.

The two front church lights are now dusk to dawn LED light bulbs Yes, the

sensors are now in the bulbs. Integrated motion sensor bulbs are also available. Good information for your own residences.

A new electric dryer is being purchased for B16 residents. The old dryer was

gas fueled - a source of carbon monoxide which requires venting to the outside. Electric dryers only need a vent to capture the lint. Much safer for our staff and residents.

A note of congratulations to one of our maintenance team, John Moynihan, who will graduate from Stevens Institute this May. John has been on our team for a few years and he will be missed. John accepted an engineering position with the Army. We wish him the best and offer a standing invitation to return whenever it snows.
