St. Therese of Lisieux (“The Little Flower”)
October 1st is the Feast of St. Therese of the Little Flower. Her autobiography, “Story of the Soul” gave the
world an inside look into this great Saint who died of tuberculosis at the young age of 24. Just recently, her own
parents Louis and Zellie Martin were canonized saints. Her story relates about her loss of her mother, her moments of despair brought on by sickness and doubt, and her trying to enter the monastery of Mt. Carmel at a
young age. What fascinated me most was a story about her finding it difficult to live with one particular sister
who may not have been the easiest to like. Her solution was simple and brilliant. She simply stated that “she
would be love.” This was her “little way” of being a “little flower” in the garden of God. Thus, she was resolute
in spending her life in love. Simple and powerful. It so captivated me that every day when I left the doors of our
residence at the university on my way to class or a meeting I would repeat to myself “let me be love.” It put me in a frame of mind
to treat others and/or to handle unpleasant situations gently like the student who did not do the assigned reading (can you imagine?)
or the complaining colleague. “Let me be love” puts the responsibility of each of us to do something. We can’t “pass the buck.”
How to deal with so much terrorism, fits of rage, constant violence, addiction to drugs or pornography, a breakdown in communication and a deterioration of civility, a great disparity in economic resources, and the list continues? Why not follow Therese’s example and repeat multiple times each day “I will be love” and see how that translates.
Seré Amor
El primer día de octubre, la iglesia celebra la fiesta de Santa Teresa de Lisieux, “la pequeña flor.” Su autobiografía, “La Historia de
un alma,” nos dice mucho de esta santa joven que murió a la edad de 24 años. Aprendemos que sufría mucho de la enfermedad, la
duda, la tristeza, la muerte de su madre, su deseo de entrar el monasterio de Monte Carmel antes de la edad aceptable. Lo que más
me fascina es la manera en que ella respondió a una monja muy desagradable del monasterio. Ella decidió responder con amor.
Ella se repetía, “Seré amor.” Sería su manera simple de vivir. Su decisión era tan poderosa que me la trasmitió.
Cada día, antes de salir de las puertas de mi casa para las clases, repetía “seré amor.” Esta imitación de Teresa me
permitía a tratar mis estudiantes y colegas con amor, respeto, y la dulzura. “Seré amor” pone la responsabilidad
en cada individuo. En vez de pensar otros tienen que cambiar el mundo, aceptamos el reto en una manera simple
y poderosa. A los actos del terrorismo en este mundo, la violencia de nuestras ciudades, la ira y el odio que existe
entre personas, el contraste de los que poseen mucho y otros que no saben de dónde viene su próxima comida, la
falta de comunicación en la familia, la adicción a las drogas o la pornografía, y la lista continua. ¿Por qué no
seguimos el ejemplo de Santa Teresa y repetimos muchas veces al día “seré amor” y descubramos como esta
imitación traduce? ¡Seamos amor!
Some Updates
Last Sunday at the 9:00 a.m. Mass, we had a great celebration for the 35 th anniversary of the Santo Niño Prayer Group of South
Jersey. As you know, the Cathedral is the shrine for the Santo Niño statue. To celebrate well this milestone, we moved the statue to
its own pedestal to the right of the St. Joseph statue. The Filipino community donated many food baskets at the liturgy. Later in the afternoon at their dinner at Crowne Plaza, the community generously donated $5,000.00 to the
parish. Thank you for your continual support of the parish. May your devotion to Santo Niño continue to renew
your faith and inspire our parish community.
Algunos Adelantos
El domingo pasado celebramos el 35º aniversario del grupo Santo Niño de la comunidad filipina. Al fin de la misa,
movimos la estatua en su pedestal propio. En una cena en Crowne Plaza la comunidad nos presentó con un cheque
de cinco mil dólares. Les Damos gracias por su apoyo y su caridad y rezamos que el Santo Niño continua a protegerlos con su
amor.

Respect Life Committee Forming NOW! John and Janice Moore have graciously accepted the leadership mantel for the formation of
the Respect Life Group. They are calling on interested parishioners to join the committee to guide the parish in all events throughout
the year. Please contact them immediately as they are planning for many activities to celebrate October as it is Respect for Life
Month. The committee also needs to plan for January’s events. In October, they will offer us many opportunities to show our respect for life from the womb to the tomb. Included in these are: bring in diapers (sizes 4, 5, 6) before a Sunday Mass, visit someone
in a nursing home, call or visit an elderly relative with whom you may not have had contact lately, visit someone in the hospital or
prison, volunteer in our kitchen pantry this month, or write a letter to someone on death row. Please call John at (856) 981-7078 or
email him at [email protected].
El comité de Respeto la Vida se está formando. John y Janice Moore han aceptado la posición como jefes de este grupo pero
necesitan muchos voluntarios para manejar las actividades durante el año. Octubre es el mes para respetar la vida en una manera
intencional. El grupo quiere invitar a cada miembro de la parroquia a participar en una serie de eventos: trayendo pañales (pampers)
(tamaños 4, 5, 6) para la colecta durante la misa en los domingos, visitando a alguien in un hospital o la cárcel, ayudando en nuestra
cocina distribuyendo los sándwiches, escribiendo una carta a una persona en el pabellón de la muerte. Llamen a John al (856) 9817078 or email him at [email protected].
The finance committee, comprised of Gabriel Chacón (chair), Jonathan Latko, Bonnie Cavanaugh, Carmen Quiles, John Fisher,
OSFS, and Delia Lugo (ex officio), will meet on the fourth Tuesday of the month. However, its first meeting will be a planned
meeting with the Diocesan Financial Office on Thursday, September 29 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Cathedral.
El comité financiero se reúne el último martes de cada mes con la excepción de este mes cuando el comité se reúne con los
financieros de la diócesis. Esta reunión tiene lugar el 29 de septiembre.
Second Collections-Las segundas colectas
Second Collections: Today’s second collection was requested by Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, head of the Catholic Conference of
Bishops. It is for those affected by the recent flooding in Louisiana. Though it seems like we have been having a second collection
every Sunday, I believe it is important for us to contribute as it shows our concern for brothers and sisters whom we don’t know
and will probably never meet but are still part of the one Church. It also helps us appreciate what we have and in some small way,
our giving is an expression of our generosity, thanks, and compassion.
With all of this in mind, next Sunday, October 2, the second collection is the Diocesan Pro-life Collection. This is a great start for
our parish’s celebration of October as Respect Life Month and the inauguration of our Pro-Life Committee.
La colecta de hoy es para las personas que sufrían de las inundaciones en Louisiana. Entiendo que han sido muchas colectas pero
es bueno que participamos para aliviar el sufrimiento de los otros. De una manera pequeña, podemos demonstrar nuestras gracias
por los bienes que disfrutamos. El domingo próximo es la colecta pro-vida como comenzamos el mes de octubre.
