Hodler Wisdom of the Saints Human nature grows weary of always doing the same thing, and it is God’s will to give us this opportunity of practicing two great virtues. The first is perseverance, which will bring us to our goal. The other is steadfastness, which overcomes the difficulties on the way. —St. Vincent de Paul T M Raise up your heart after a fall, sweetly and gently, humbling yourself before God in the knowledge of your misery, and do not be astonished at you weakness, since it is not surprising that weakness should be weak, infirmity infirm, and frailty frail. —St. Francis de Sales O soul pressed down by the corruptible body, and weighed down by earthly thoughts, many and various; behold and see, if you can, that God is truth. —St. Augustine Kelly-Gangi, Carol, ed. The Essential Wisdom of the Saints, Fall River Press, New York, 2008.

Our Lord Jesus liked to speak in hyperbole, that literary device of exaggeration in order to make a point. "Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three..." he said to his disciples. At first it seems harsh and cold but in reality it is often very true. In my own family I have had aunts and uncles apostatize to Jehovah's Witness, other's refuse marriage in the church or others divorce, and many grow slothful in the practice of their religion. These options taken by our own family and sometimes ourselves has caused hurt and division in the family. It is simply about conviction. If we are convicted to our Catholic religion then we will be in conflict with the way of the world and might even be so with the ones we love most dearly. We are not only Catholics but citizens of the world and so being very much a part of the culture we are all susceptible to the ways of society, good or bad. It takes a strong faith and conviction to our Church to stand up in the adversity that comes for society in general and even from family. St. Thomas Aquinas wanted to be a Dominican preacher, but his family objected to such a lowly life of evangelical poverty that they locked him up in a dungeon and sent him women to dissuade him of the evangelical life. My friend Fr. Joe was lamenting the fact that his nieces/ nephews are often not baptizing their babies. This is the first time in nearly 2000 years that people in his family are not baptized. Yes, if we are convicted to our Catholic faith it will not only affect our social lives, and our standing in the community but even our families. We may have to let go of relationships that we cherished in the past to follow Jesus more closely. When my aunt and uncle became Jehovah's Witnesses, they would begin to proselytize at family gatherings. They were clearly told that as family they are welcome to our home, but that we are Catholics and they must stop their proselytizing or otherwise stay away. So while a division has occurred in the family, we didn't stop loving them and hoping for their turning back to Jesus. To be a convicted Catholic means we love God with all our being and we love our enemies - be they attackers of our lives or of our faith. Another person's disbelief (Don't we have our doubts?), immoral acts (aren't we all sinners?), rejection of the Catholic faith (Are we the greatest of Catholics ourselves?), or indifference (How about our sins of omission?) do not allow us to stop loving and caring. Yes, we remain Catholic even when we associate with others who do not "measure up" as Jesus showed us when he sat and ate with "sinners (breakers of the Mosaic laws) and tax-collectors". And when our Catholic faith causes others to reject us and separate us from family and/or community, we must accept it, remain true to Jesus, and go forward hoping in the resurrection to eternal life and immersing ourselves in the love of God which conquers every adversity that comes our way. Our conviction may bring on division in the present world, but nevertheless it will certainly bring on our union with Christ and all the saints. Pax Christi, Fr. Paul WE ARE LIVING STONES 4 Year Goal: $590,000.00 Pledged: $398,333.05 CAPITAL CAMPAIGN NEWS It is my hope that everyone pledges something. Success is determined on how many give not how much is given. You are also invited to visit the parish website, holytrinity1861.org, wher e ther e is a link to the W e are L iving Stones website, and there you can make a pledge. Be sure to designate Holy Trinity Church, Hackensack. That is very important so that we receive our due portion of the campaign. The We Are Living Stones Committee From a homily in praise of the Virgin Mother by Saint Bernard, abbot It was fitting that the Virgin should give birth only to God; and it was also fitting that God should be born only of the Virgin. Accordingly, the Creator of mankind, in order that he might become a man by being born a human being, had to seek out from among all mankind and designate as his mother a woman he knew would be worthy of him and pleasing to him. And so he chose a sinless virgin, that he might be born sinless and free of all stain. He chose a humble virgin, from whom he might come forth meek and humble of heart, to display a most necessary and salutary model of these virtues for all mankind. Thus he allowed a virgin to conceive, in whom he had earlier inspired a vow of virginity, and required of her the merit of humility. Otherwise how could the angel afterward pronounce her full of grace, if she had the slightest good quality which did not come from grace? Thus she, who was to conceive and bring forth the holy of holies, must be sanctified physically and so she received the gift of virginity; that she might be sanctified spiritually, she received the gift of humility. The Virgin then, adorned like a queen with the jewels of virtue, shone with the glory of body and soul; and seen on high as radiantly beautiful, she so attracted the inhabitants of heaven that she moved the heart of the King with desire for her and brought down from above the heavenly message. Scripture says: The angel was sent to a virgin. For she was truly virgin in body, virgin in mind, a virgin by her special calling, sanctified, as the Apostle reminds us, in both mind and body. This came about by no unforeseen or accidental occurrence; she was chosen from eternity, foreknown and prepared by the Most High for himself, guarded by the angels, prefigured by the patriarchs, and promised by the prophets.

On Capital Punishment “Indeed, nowadays the death penalty is unacceptable, however grave the crime of the convicted person,” Francis said on the message released on Tuesday. “It is an offence to the inviolability of life and to the dignity of the human person; it likewise contradicts God’s plan for individuals and society, and his merciful justice... “It does not render justice to victims, but instead fosters vengeance.” Pope Francis, June 21, 2016 SPIRITUAL LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY LA VIDA ESPIRITUAL EN LA COMUNIDAD C ,P U Holy Trinity Prayer Group - charismatic prayer every Thursday at 7:30 PM at 30 Maple Adoration - every first Friday from 12:30 to 10:00 PM Healing Your Family Tree & Generational Healing Place: Holy Trinity Church Parish Hall Date: Saturday Aug. 20th, 2016 8:45 am—4:00 pm Speaker: Fr.

Having a Mass offered for the repose of a soul, and offering our own prayers, is more beneficial and comforting than a card or bouquet of flowers. From the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC): “From the beginning the church has honored the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above all the Eucharistic sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may attain the beatific vision of God” (CCC #1032). Contact or visit the Rectory Office at 201-343-5170 to have a Mass offered for a soul who may need your prayers to be freed from Purgatory and enter Paradise! There are many Masses available for this year.

SOMOS PIEDRAS VIVAS Campaña Capital Meta: $590,000.00 Prometido: $398,333.05 MISAS PARA EL REPOSO DE ALMAS Es costumbre de no sólo visitar las tumbas de nuestros difuntos, sino también de ofrecer Misas por el descanso eterno de sus almas. Ofrecer una Misa por el descanso de almas, y nuestras oraciones propias, es más beneficioso y reconfortante que una tarjeta o un ramo de flores. El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica (CIC) enseña: “Desde los primeros tiempos, la Iglesia ha honrado la memoria de los difuntos y ha ofrecido sufragios en su favor, en particular el sacrificio eucarístico, para que, una vez purificados, puedan llegar a la visión beatífica de Dios” (CIC # 1032). Contacte o bien visite la oficina para apuntar una Misa para las almas que necesitan de nuestras oraciones! Hay muchas misas disponibles este año.
