Saint Joseph Roman Catholic Church Oradell / New Milford, NJ Second Sunday in Ordinary Time~ January 19, 2014 John testified further, saying, “I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven and remain upon him. I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God.” Jn 1:32-34 Sacramental Life Reconciliation / Confessions Saturday, 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm Mass Schedule Baptism Contact the Parish Office before the fifth month of pregnancy.

Buchanan, Nobel-winning libertarian economist who liked to point out that politicians and government officials can be motivated by self-interest and a wish to exercise power, which may lead to government expansion and increased spending, with harmful results for people, such as debt. He thought government spending has become permanently disconnected from revenue. Ed Koch, a Newark native who became a colorful three-term New York City Mayor. Koch, a friend of New York’s late Cardinal John O’Connor, once refused to pose for a photo with a tiger, saying, “The mayor is not a coward—and the mayor is also not a schmuck.” When physical hiring requirements for New York fire fighters were being challenged, he replied that he thought the qualifying test for men and women alike should be, “Can you carry a 210-pound mayor out of a second-story building?” After he lost a re-election bid, when people told him they wished he was still mayor, Koch often shot back, “The people voted me out, and now they must be punished.” He also said, “I’ll get a better job, but you won’t get a better mayor.” (After his time in office, Koch became a spokesman for both UltraSlimFast® and Dunkin’ Donuts®, showing that he knew how to appeal to people across the board.) He bought a grave in the only Manhattan cemetery still offering them, run by Trinity Episcopal Church at Broadway and 155th Street. He said he wanted to make it easier for his former constituents to visit him. “I’m extending an open invitation.” Margaret Thatcher, British Prime Minister in the 1980s, a decidedly conservative leader who called herself “a conviction politician,” not a consensus one. She worked with President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II to overthrow Communism and was a staunch opponent of Socialism as well. Kenneth Minogue, critic of big government and its bureaucracies, and defender of Christianity, which he said “has been central to creating a gentle and decent (and philosophically lively) civilization of such power that our problem is accommodating the people who want to join it. ‘Go thou and sin no more is way ahead of beheading or stoning sinners and probably ahead of counseling or psychotropic medication as well.” Nelson Mandela, who after being an imprisoned opponent of apartheid for 27 years, became South Africa’s first democratically elected President, and dedicated his administration to achieving racial healing. Roy Brown, designer of the ill-fated, stylistically outlandish Ford Edsel, trumpeted as revolutionary. (continued above) 3 Only 100,000 were sold from 1957-1959. (A recession didn’t help.) Today, surviving models can fetch $100,000. Joseph Unanue, who oversaw the growth of Goya Foods from a family-run grocery to the nation’s largest seller of Hispanic food. Barbara Piasecka Johnson, who married Seward Johnson Sr. after being his maid. A daughter of Polish farmers, she came to the U. S., met a barbecue guest who told her that her employer was looking for a cook, got the job, was unsatisfactory at it, and was then transferred to the maid’s job—after which she married her boss after he had divorced his wife. The boss was the inheritor of the Johnson and Johnson fortune. The two married in 1971, when she was 34 and he was 76. “Basia,” as she was called, assembled an impressive art collection. Upon her husband’s death, there was an unprecedented legal battle over Johnson’s $500 million fortune, with Basia getting most of it. Besides her art interest, she supported many charitable causes. Robert Byrne, international chess grandmaster, former U. S. champion, and longtime chess columnist for the New York Times. He lost to Bobby Fischer in the 1963-1964 U. S. Championship, in which Fischer, for the only time in the tournament’s history, won all eleven games. Byrne came closest to beating him—and, in fact, many spectators thought he was nearing victory when Byrne shocked everyone by resigning. He did so because he realized that he had fallen into a fatal Fischer trap. At least he got some “glory” by seeing his doom! Nicholas Oresko, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, a Bayonne native and long-time Tenafly resident, who won his medal for his actions of 1-23-45 during the Battle of the Bulge, when, despite being seriously wounded, he singlehandedly wiped out two German machine gun emplacements, killing twelve of the enemy. Mikhail Kalashnikov, inventor of the AK-47 assault rifle, which is easy to make, light and durable, and deadly-efficient. 100 million have been made. Although Kalashnikov regretted the gun’s wide use by guerillas, he said, in a 2003 interview, “I sleep soundly. The fact that people die because of an AK-47 is not because of the designer, but because of the politics.” Yet his conscience continued to gnaw at him and shortly before he died he wrote to the head of the Russian Orthodox Church saying, “The pain in my soul is unbearable. I keep asking myself the same, unsolvable question: If my assault rifle took people’s lives that means that I, Mikhail Kalashnikov,… am responsible for people’s deaths. The longer I live, the more often that question gets into my brain, the deeper I go in my thoughts and guesses about why the Almighty allowed humans to have devilish desires of envy, greed and aggression.” Msgr. David Hubba SAINT JOSEPH CHURCH ORADELL/NEW MILFORD, NJ 1 2 AN AFTERNOON OF CHRISTMAS JOY Saint Joseph Parish Annual Concert “Give thanks for music-making art, and praise the Spirit’s choice of members set apart with instrument and voice. With work and wisdom, skills hard-won, life-giving and life-long, they celebrate what God has done, and lead the people’s song.” —Brian Wren 4 3 5 8 7 9 10 12 11 4 6 SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, JANUARY 19, 2014 RAISING OUR VOICES IN SONG!

The annual Christmas concert of Saint Joseph Parish, under the direction of Monroe Quinn, our parish Music Director, was held in our church on the last day of the Christmas Season—Sunday, January 12. “An Afternoon of Christmas Joy,” featuring our wonderful choir and showcasing the talents of our professional musicians and leaders of song, was enjoyed by hundreds of Saint Joseph parishioners and friends. The artists entertained a full church with traditional, religious, and contemporary Christmas music, including some original arrangements by Monroe Quinn, and the audience was invited to sing along with the choir to several classic Christmas carols. ←Pictured opposite on page 4 are some of the wonderful performers whose talents thrilled the delighted audience.

FOR YOU!” —EVERY FRIDAY A MEN’S AND WOMEN’S CORNERSTONE REFLECTION Moment with Holy Mary is a prayer group that seeks the Lord through Mary and meets every Friday (except First Fridays) from 9:00 –10:00 am right after the 8:30 am Mass. “Through life’s journey the only time we prayed was in time of need. Our whole philosophy about religion changed tremendously after we attended Cornerstone. It had a great impact on our lives. We always went to church, but Cornerstone made us realize that Jesus is there for us and made us become aware of the power of the prayer.” John and Linda Pepe Through prayers to Our Blessed Mother, the Psalms and meditation on Scripture, we offer praise, thanksgiving and sorrow for sin while growing in our Faith. Consider spending a “moment with Holy Mary” often. For more information, contact Laura Villena at 201-265-1254. WANT TO GET CLOSER TO THE ONE YOU LOVE?
