The Pastor’s Desk
Dear Friends,
May the Lord give you peace!
Pope Francis wrapped up a beautiful pastoral visit to South
America a couple of weeks ago and soon he will be visiting the
United States with stops in Washington, DC, Philadelphia and New
York City. Wherever the Holy Father goes, he pleads for a Church
“of the poor and for the poor.” He asks all of us to live more simply
so we can share more with the poor. Many people will ask “how
do I become poor, how do I scale back and live more simply?” In
the July 2015 issue of St. Anthony Messenger, Sue Erschen offers
some tips. I invite you to read these, pray about them and see how
they might fit your own life.
5 Tips for ‘Becoming Poorer’
1. A
void being tempted by unsolicited advertising. The sole purpose
of this advertising is to make us think we need things we do not.
2. Cancel subscriptions to magazines that breed envy and discontent
by constantly encouraging us to update our wardrobe, remodel
the house or try the latest electronics.
3. Delete or unsubscribe to emails that offer limited tie bargains for
things we were never planning to buy.
4. When tempted to buy more, stop and think, “How blessed I am
that I do not need any of this!”
5. Seek out some of the many inspiring books and articles of
voluntary simplicity.
St. Mary’s Prayer for Discipleship
Blessed are You, Lord God of all creation,
In Your goodness You have created us
In Your mercy, You have redeemed us
And in Your ever loving Wisdom You sustain us with Your
Spirit.
You have given us the gift of faith, the gift of the
St. Mary’s community and the gift of Your call
to be Your disciples.
We beg you now for the gifts of:
Enlightenment
that through our PRAYER we may know your holy and
true command;
Discipleship
that we may SERVE the needs of the community and not
simply our own, and
Gratitude
that we may GIVE of ourselves for the good of all.
May we discover what is ours to do and may we do good
works each day for the sake of Your Kingdom.
Amen.
5 Tips for ‘Giving More’
1. Make a committed effort to expand your giving.
2. Take a look at how much you currently give. What percentage of
your income are you giving to charity?
3. Keep in mind that scripture challenges us to give away 10% of
our income. If you’re not there, or can’t realistically get there,
how much can you increase your charitable giving?
4. Plan your giving. Pick out 5 to 10 organizations that truly touch
your heart. These organizations will not only benefit from your
money, they will also greatly benefit from your time—volunteer!
5. Try making a direct sacrifice by giving up some specific luxury
and donating the cost of that luxury to a specific cause.
All of this will make us better stewards and better disciples. Perhaps
as you ponder these tips, you can pray the St. Mary’s Prayer for
Discipleship found in the next column.
Thanks for a great week and best wishes for a great one to come!
Remember, do good works each day!
Pace e Bene,
Fr. Frank Sevola, OFM

“Francis The Musical -
a story of the poor man of Assisi”
A
new production of a musical about St. Francis is in

Fr. Richard is working on the production.
The first performance will be here on Sunday evening,
October 4, the feast day of St. Francis.
Other performances will be on the Sundays of October at
St. Bonaventure’s Church in Paterson, St. Anthony’s Church

HELP OUR SISTERS AND BROTHERS
IN PERU
E
ach year in parishes throughout the United States
people have the opportunity to hear about the world
missions. On the weekend of August 15-16, Sister Doreen
Glynn will speak at all the masses in behalf of the Sisters
of St. Joseph of Carondelet who work with people who
live in poverty and the margins of society in Peru. The
Sisters of St. Joseph minister in schools, parishes, prisons
and in poverty-stricken neighborhood communities in
Peru. Sister Doreen served as a missionary in Peru and
is currently the Justice Coordinator for the Sisters of
St. Joseph in the Albany Province. She has been a longtime advocate for justice and the poor and knows well the
needs of the people in Peru. Your prayers are requested
for the Sisters of St. Joseph in Peru and your generosity
will be greatly appreciated.
Make a difference for Peru’s poor—More than 53 years
ago, in response to Pope John XXIII’s call to religious
communities of women to serve in Latin America, 15
Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet went to Peru where they
established missions throughout the country. For all these
years, young Peruvian women have joined the Sisters of
St. Joseph and now serve in schools, parishes, prisons
and in poverty-stricken neighborhood communities.
Accompanying the people, especially the families living
in economic poverty, the Sisters of St. Joseph continue to
live the mission of Jesus.

Misa en Español
Los domingos a las 9:00AM en el Centro Carnevale (10 Lenox Ave,
Pompton Lakes, NJ). Durante el año celebramos varias eucaristías
en la iglesia principal. Algunas celebraciones son bilingües como
la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, la Vigilia Pascual, y el
Día de Acción de Gracias (Thanksgiving)
2 DE AGOSTO 2015 -XVIII Domingo Ordinario
“(…) Entonces le dijeron: “Señor, danos siempre de ese pan”.
Jesús les contestó: “Yo soy el pan de la vida. El que viene a mí
no tendrá hambre y el que cree en mí nunca tendrá sed”.” (Juan
6:24-35)
En la medida en que creamos en las palabras de Jesús, sabremos
de la auténtica satisfacción que nos ofrece: “El que viene a mí
no tendrá hambre y el que cree en mí nunca tendrá sed”, ni
andaremos, como a menudo lo hacemos, lamentándonos porque
nos tocó menos que a los demás.
JUEVES 6 DE AGOSTO 2015- Fiesta de la Transfiguración del Señor
“(…) Se formó entonces una nube, que los cubrió con su sombra,
y de esta nube salió una voz que decía: “Éste es mi Hijo amado;
escúchenlo”. (Marcos 9:2-10)
Es la fiesta de la transformación de los corazones y del espíritu en el
encuentro con la luz del Amor de Dios a la humanidad. ¡Que la luz
del Tabor llene con consuelo y esperanza los corazones de todos los
que sufren! ¡Que el mensaje del Tabor mueva nuestros corazones para
luchar por el bien común!
SÁBADO 8 DE AGOSTO 2015- Memoria del Santo
Domingo de Guzmán
Nació en España en 1170. Fue un gran predicador y tuvo una vida
ejemplar. Con los compañeros que se le adhirieron fundó la Orden
de Predicadores (conocidos como los Dominicos). Murió el 6 de
agosto del año 1221. Domingo pedía a sus hermanos: Primero
contemplar, y después enseñar. Predicar siempre y en todas partes.
Todos los días pedía a Nuestro Señor la gracia de crecer en el amor
hacia Dios y en la caridad hacia los demás y tener un gran deseo
de salvar almas.
Encíclica Papal “Laudato Si”
Estos son algunos de los principales puntos de la encíclica del
papa Francisco “’Laudato si’ (Alabado seas) sobre el cuidado de
la casa común”, presentada oficialmente en el Vaticano.
“Sobre los Organismos Genéticamente Modificados (OGM): “Es una
cuestión ambiental de carácter complejo, por lo cual su tratamiento exige
una mirada integral de todos sus aspectos, y esto requeriría al menos un
mayor esfuerzo para financiar diversas líneas de investigación libre e
interdisciplinaria que puedan aportar nueva luz…La imposición de un
estilo hegemónico de vida ligado a un modo de producción puede
ser tan dañina como la alteración de los ecosistemas…La política y
la empresa reaccionan con lentitud, lejos de estar a la altura de los
desafíos mundiales. En este sentido se puede decir que, mientras la
humanidad del período post-industrial quizás sea recordada como
una de las más irresponsables de la historia, es de esperar que la
humanidad de comienzos del siglo XXI pueda ser recordada por
haber asumido con generosidad sus graves responsabilidades…
Hacen falta marcos regulatorios globales que impongan obligaciones
y que impidan acciones intolerables, como el hecho de que países
poderosos expulsen a otros países residuos e industrias altamente
contaminantes”.

El Rito de Iniciación Cristiana para Adultos (RICA) es el proceso

de Iniciación (Bautismo, Confirmación y 1ra Santa Comunión).

e Iluminación y el Periodo Post-bautismal de catequesis / Mistagogia.
El propósito primario de RICA es la iniciación de los adultos y
niños no bautizados que han llegado a la edad de la razón, sin
embargo el Rito también se extienda a los adultos bautizados
pero no catequizados. Las clases, en español, comienzan en el
mes de septiembre. Los Sacramentos se reciben durante la Vigilia

la iluminación, para que
a través de nuestras oraciones
podamos conocer
tu santo y verdadero mandamiento;
el discipulado,
para que podamos responder
a las necesidades de la comunidad
y no sólo a nuestras propias necesidades, y
