1883-2016
Prayer for the
Assumption of Mary
Father in heaven, all creation
rightly gives You praise,
for all life and all holiness come
from You. In the plan of Your
wisdom, she who bore the
Christ in her womb, was raised
body and soul in glory to be
with Him in heaven. May we
follow her example in reflecting
Your holiness and join in her
hymn of endless love and
praise.
We ask this through Christ
our Lord. Amen.

WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART?
At Masses around the world every day, millions of people, in the words of the
gospel, ―eat and drink‖ with the Lord—would Jesus disown any of them, the way
the master does in the gospel story? Maybe more than most folks would assume.
He didn’t want followers who tagged along for a meal and a few pieces of wisdom;
he wanted disciples to walk next to him on the hard road to Jerusalem and beyond.
Not merely people to ―do‖ the ritual and say that’s good enough but those willing
to embrace him, his Way, and his fate. Which one of those people will you be?
WHERE WE LIVE, SERVE,
& WALK TOGETHER IN FAITH.

FROM THE PASTOR
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
My Dear Parish Family,
.
.
.
Summer is certainly flying by at breakneck speed. It seems like
.
just a couple weeks ago we were welcoming Deacon Tom Barry to .
.
our parish. Deacon Tom has finished his time with us, for now, and .
.
will be returning to Immaculate Conception Seminary at Seton
.
.
Hall for his last year of theological study before being ordained to
.
.
the Holy Priesthood in June, 2017. Throughout this school year,
.
Deacon will be coming to St. Joseph’s each weekend and assisting ..
us with his presence at Mass, Baptisms and possibly a presentation ..
.
or two on an aspect of our faith. Please keep him in your prayers.
.
.
Another change took place in our parish office staff. Mrs. Jackie
.
.
Mack, our parish business manager, retired after approximately 9
.
years of serving our parish. We thank Jackie for her tireless service ..
.
and wish her well in retirement (and the golf course with her hus.
.
band!) Mr. Tom McMahon has assumed the business manager
.
.
position. Tom is a parishioner and longtime resident of Toms
.
.
River. He comes to us highly recommended and we are happy to
.
welcome him onto our parish staff.
.
.
.
Last week, I took the opportunity to visit our Donovan Summer
.
Soccer camp out at the sports fields at Whitty Road. It was a beau- ..
.
tiful day with so many young folks out and enjoying the sport and
.
learning more. I also attended the Donovan’s summer musical per- ..
formance of Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods.” Once again, I .
.
.
was amazed at the talent of our young people and the staff and
.
coaches that work with them! Well done!
.
.
.
God bless you all.
.
.
.

There is no wood better to kindle the fire of holy
love than the wood of the cross, which Christ used
for his own great sacrifice of boundless charity.

EXCERPT FROM
―MERCY AND
TRUTH SHALL
MEET‖
BISHOP DAVID M.
O’CONNELL, C.M.
The Scribes and Pharisees brought
forward a woman who had committed adultery. The law of Moses required that such a woman should be
stoned to death. The Lord Jesus
knew the law and its demands and
was well aware that those leaders
were testing him. He remained quiet
in the face of their accusation and
test, bent down to write something
on the ground, and became the focus
of their persistence. He stood up,
glanced around at the crowd and
uttered his famous words, ―Let the
one without sin be the first to cast a
stone at her.‖ No stones were lifted,
the crowd dispersed and in that moment, in the encounter of the Lord
Jesus with this sinful woman, mercy
and truth met.
The Lord Jesus looked at her and
asked ―Has no one condemned
you?‖ ―No one, Lord,‖ she answered. ―Neither do I condemn you.‖
―Go. From now on, sin no more
(John 8: 10-11).‖ Notice that the law
was clear. The Lord Jesus did not
deny the truth of its demands nor did
he change the ―law.‖
Notice, too, that the adulterous woman did not deny the truth of the accusation and asked for nothing. She did
not earn forgiveness or even ask for
it. The Lord Jesus, however, did not
condemn her as he confronted the
truth of her situation. The Lord Jesus
showed her mercy. And then he sent
her on her way, without compromise, reminding her to follow truth.

PAGINA OCHO
MENSAJE DEL PARROCO
Estimada familia Parroquial,
El verano está pasando sumamente rápido. Parece ser que solo unas
semanas atrás le dimos la bienvenida al Diacono Tom seminarista.
Sin embargo, ya el ha regresado al Seminario para terminar su ultimo
ano en la preparación para recibir los votos sacerdotales. Él nos
visitara durante este año todos los fines de semanas para ayudar en
Misa, Bautizos etc. Le pedimos que lo mantenga en sus oraciones.
Por igual, la Señora Jackie Mack que fue gerente de la parroquia por
9 años se retiró. Le damos gracias por toda su ayuda y devoción a las
familiar parroquiales, especialmente su bondad y caridad con la
comunidad hispana. Le deseamos mucha felicidad y bendiciones en
su nuevo camino. Ahora recibimos con brazos abiertos al Señor
Tom McMahon quien asumió el puesto de gerente
Les deseo que disfruten de las próximas semanas de verano. Y Que
Dios los bendiga siempre.
Fr. Scott
No hay mejor madera para encender el fuego del amo, que la
madera de la cruz, que Cristo usó para su gran sacrificio de

La Asunción de la Santisima Virgen Maria
La Biblia menciona a María por última vez en
Pentecostés, cuando recibió al Espíritu Santo en
el cenáculo con los apóstoles, y quedó así
constituida como "Madre de la Iglesia".
Probablemente acompañó al apóstol san Juan a
Éfeso, puesto que el divino Maestro se la había
encomendado desde la cruz. En Roma encontramos, desde el
siglo VIII la fiesta del 15 de agosto con el nombre "Nata-licio
de santa María". El papa Pío XII la haya promulgado como dogma, el día de Todos los Santos del año santo de 1950.
Delante de 600 obispos, definió en la bula "Munificentíssimus
Deus", la Asunción de María con las siguientes palabras:
"Habiendo orado insistentemente a Dios y habiendo pedido la
luz del Espíritu de verdad, para gloria del Dios todopoderoso,
que hizo a María objeto de tan señalados favores; para honor
de su Hijo, rey inmortal de los siglos y vencedor del pecado y
de la muerte; para el acrecentamiento de la gloria de su
santísima Madre y para el acrecentamiento de toda la Iglesia,
Nos, por la autoridad de nuestro Señor Jesucristo y de los
bienaventurados apóstoles Pedro y Pablo y por nuestra
propia autoridad, declaramos y definimos que es un dogma
divinamente revelado, que la inmaculada Madre de Dios, la
siempre Virgen María, fue asunta en cuerpo y alma a la gloria
del cielo, al terminar su vida mortal".
La fiesta de la Asunción, y podemos añadir de la coronación
de María, es la gloriosa recompensa de Dios a los demás
misterios de la vida de María, desde el anuncio del ángel
hasta su martirio junto a la Cruz.
