We meet in the Upper Room for an hour to reflect on the following Sundays’ Scripture from 7:30 – 8:30pm. Our next meeting is Monday, June 20 th. On Saturday, June 25th there will not be a priest available for confession. For the months of July and August the 10:30 AM Mass will be celebrated in the church. Next Week: 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time 1st Reading: Zechariah 12:10-11 2nd Reading: Galatians 3:26-29 Gospel: Luke 9:18-24 SCRIPTURE FOCUS: In today’s Gospel we reach a climax. Jesus will soon start his fateful journey to Jerusalem. He asks the crucial question: ”Who do people say I am?” Peter, spokesman for the disciples, recognizes Jesus as the Messiah. Peter had no facts on which to base his declaration, but he did have faith! Immediately Peter and the other disciples are challenged to rethink their definition of Messiah. Jesus clearly tells the disciples and the crowd that there is a cost to being a follower. You must be willing to lose yourself and go where Jesus leads – even if that means changing your thinking and beliefs, or suffering injustice, or loss of comforts. But of course you will be with Jesus. LIFE FOCUS: Share about someone you know who has “taken up a cross” each day. How does this inspire You? CAN YOU HELP?

We are planning to attend a retreat "World Youth Day - not a WORLD away" in conjunction with World Youth Day this July 2016. It is given by the order of sisters ‘Parish Visitors of Mary Immaculate.” Please read below. If you are interested, I would ask that you let Camille know as soon as possible as space is limited. The cost is $65 per person before June 15 and $70 after. Included in the fee are meals, housing and the conference. All interested participants need to send a $25 deposit (checks made payable to St. Joseph Church) to reserve your spot. I am happy to answer any questions you may have! Don’t delay :) Additional details will be sent out to those who sign up. Dear Youth Group Leaders, We are very happy to announce that in conjunction with World Youth Day in Krakow, Poland with Pope Francis, the Parish Visitors are hosting a weekend event called "World Youth Day - not a WORLD away" at our Motherhouse in Monroe, New York July 29-31, 2016. Parish Visitors of Mary Immaculate Marycrest Motherhouse PO Box 658 (164 Quaker Hill Road) Monroe, NY 10949(845) 783-2251. "World Youth Day - not a WORLD away" is for teens and young adults unable to go to Poland but who are interested in deepening their love for Jesus and their Catholic faith. They will share in a number of World Youth Day events on a smaller scale including: catechesis, worship, music and fun. We hope to be in communion with those in Krakow by watching via large screen video some of the major portions of the Holy Father's messages as well as to see the many young people who will have gathered for this historic event. Youth: the participants in the conference must be entering 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th grades in the fall of 2016 or be a 2016 high school graduate. Young Adult: 2016 high school graduate - 25 years of age. ………………………………………………………………….. A Catholic Charities Thank You! I attended the last Mass of the day in my own parish on the Feast of Corpus Christi, May 29. A smile came to my face as I walked through the vestibule to my pew and saw bag upon bag of pasta and sauces (my parish's assigned food) lined up two feet high along the vestibule walls. I smiled a second time and a bit longer as this phrase was read in the Gospel, "feed them yourselves." My smile lasted for the time it took me to again picture our church vestibule with all that food and to imagine similar pictures in the over 80 parishes across our Diocese doing the same thing. On the Feast of Corpus Christi each year, we not only hear Jesus say "feed them yourselves," we do it in this very concrete way. You help Catholic Charities feed almost 9,000 hungry persons (1/3 of them children) each month at our four pantries plus countless more people who are helped by the 40 plus pantries operated by parishes. Thank you so much!! Joe Duffy The history of King David’s [First Reading] sin is known the world over. It is a sad story involving lust and murder. It reads like a modern TV program. But the ugly brutal actions of King David are not all there is to the history. There is much beauty here too: repentance, forgiveness, redemption: Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” Nathan answered David: “The Lord on his part has forgiven your sin: you shall not die.” (2 Samuel 12) In today’s Gospel we have another story of sin and redemption with the added flavor of the overwhelming love of Christ for the sinner and the very moving gesture of repentance on the part of the sinner: “Now there was a sinful woman in the city who learned that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee. Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment, she stood behind him at his feet weeping and began to bathe his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment…Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with ointment. So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven because she has shown great love.” (Luke 7) And, in today’s Gospel we have mention of another well-known sinner whose conversion never ceases to be proclaimed: in our liturgy; in art; in literature; in poetry. The sinner is Mary Magdalene. Men and women, ancient and contemporary, the beautiful story of redemption goes on. It will be so until the end of the world. Why not be one of them? And, here we come to two points. First, how many people have we written off as unworthy because of their heinous crimes? The Bible stands in direct opposition to such hardness in our hearts. They remain, despite their present state, beloved of God who holds out to them the possibility of new beginnings and fresh starts, of forgiveness and healing, of redemption and restoration. He does so for you too. Why not accept the love of God deep into your lives, for he loves you despite it all. As St. Paul said in our Second Reading: “I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given himself up for me.” (Galatians 2) The second point is hidden within the first: God’s overwhelming compassion and love for the wayward children of Eve. There is nothing more moving than a story of redemption except the story of the Father who never stops giving and forgiving, of healing and of loving; who always makes redemption possible – no matter how much it cost him or how many times he will have to spend all he has over and over for you: “I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given himself up for me.” (Galatians 2) Why not join the ranks of the redeemed, of the forgiving? Why not be a link in the ongoing and beautiful history of forgiveness and healing, of redemption and restoration? Confessions: Saturday’s 3:30 to 4:30 pm. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. DIOCESAN FATHER’S DAY COLLECTION Dear Friends in Christ, As we look to celebrate Father’s Day next week, we acknowledge their role in the family as one who helps create a loving and nurturing home life, providing tried and true lessons that will enrich their children. Throughout the diocese of Paterson our “fathers” – our priests – work to enrich the spiritual life of our parish families by preaching the Gospel and inviting all to the Eucharistic table where we experience Christ in the breaking of the bread. Such a responsibility is an honor and a joy for those of us in the priesthood. This coming Father’s Day, a very special collection is being taken up to support those men who are being educated at seminaries in our country and around the world and who will one day serve our own parishes. Just as with your support of our Bishop’s Annual Appeal, this collection will be used to help fund the cost of their formation. Your gift will be a wonderful show of support and encouragement to those men who are giving themselves to Christ and to his people. I ask that you please be as generous as possible in response to this Father’s Day Collection for seminarian education. Faithfully Yours in Christ, Most Reverend Arthur J. Serratelli, S.T.D., S.S. L., D.D. Bishop of Paterson
