Our Lady of Sorrows
The burial of Jesus (Luke 23:50 56; John 19:38 42; Mark 15:40 47)
One of thirteen children, Gianna Beretta was born in the small Italian town of Magenta on October 4, 1922. Raised by devout Catholic parents, Gianna was taught that life is a gift from God and should be used for the good of mankind. As a result, Gianna, and her siblings who survived into adulthood, chose professions in which they could serve God and provide benefit to the world, such as the priesthood, religious life, engineering, and medicine. Medicine was Gianna’s chosen field.

This weekend September 17 and 18 Rev. Peter James Alindogan, Trenton Diocesan Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the United States, will speak at all Masses on behalf of our mission partners. During the past years, our diocese has shared our resources to needy and developing countries where the life giving presence of Christ in our world is proclaimed and professed. Our second collection the weekend of September 17 and 18, will be taken to support the needs of our Catholic churches in third world countries. Thank you for being part of our Mission Family and in spreading the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in these developing nations of the world. Please be as generous as possible in this second collection.

Crucifixion and death of Jesus (John 19:25 30)

The memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows is observed on September 15. The occasion is a time for reflection on Mary’s sorrows as the Mother of Christ and her example of perseverance through suffering.
Mary experienced many trials throughout her life, beginning with the prophecy of Simeon shortly after the birth of Jesus, that a sword would pierce her soul (metaphorically of course). The Holy Family then had to flee to Egypt to escape Herod’s clutches. The most significant of her sorrows, however, are the final four, as she was confronted with the death of her son by crucifixion which also forms the basis of the sequence, Stabat Mater.

Walking With Purpose Fall 2022-2023 Program
Touching the Divine draws us into a deeper relationship with Jesus as we reflect on Christ’s personality. Knowing Him more intimately will increase our love for Him. St. John referred to himself as “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” As we study, John will teach us how much Christ loves us and how His love is the true satisfaction of our souls.
OCTOBER 6, 2022 April 27, 2023
Opening Your Heart: The Starting Point is our foundation Bible study, and we recommend all participants new to Walking with Purpose begin here, regardless of previous experience with Bible study. We encourage everyone to experience Opening Your Heart because we believe this Bible study is an incredibly effective guide to deep, lasting transformation of the heart. Join us as we take a deeper dive into the core questions that we need to wrestle with if we want to experience all that God has for us.

Quo vadis . . .
My Dear Parishioners: Today we celebrate the Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Although we tend to be a throw-away society that squanders freely our resources, we also are squanderers in another sense that has far more serious consequences. When it comes to paschal mystery living, we often squander opportunities to gain “true wealth.” The thrust of the gospel is that we act prudently in this life in order to be “welcomed into eternal dwellings.” Prudence demands that we not squander opportunities to be charitable and just toward others. Prudence demands that we not squander opportunities to die to self. Prudence demands that we not squander opportunities to be trustworthy with the ministry of discipleship which we take on each time we say yes to our baptismal commitment. Most of us are serious about our paschal mystery living. We honestly try to live good lives. When opportunities present themselves to act in a Christian way, most of us respond appropriately most of the time. This gospel challenges us to take this one step further. Paschal mystery living isn’t simply a matter of surrendering to the selfsacrificing possibilities that come our way usually in the normal course of daily living. With an eye to the future, we must also surrender ourselves to actually searching out opportunities to live the paschal mystery. There is such an urgency about discipleship and proclaiming the good news of salvation that we cannot be passive in any way. Just as Jesus did all he needed to do to make his message known, even when that led to Jerusalem and the cross, so must we be as proactive in our own Discipleship.

"When you eat in one place, then, it is not to eat the Lord's supper, for in eating, each one goes ahead with his own supper, and one goes hungry while another gets drunk. Do you not have houses in which you can eat and drink? Or do you show contempt for the Church of God and make those who have nothing feel ashamed? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I do not praise you." 1 COR 11:20-22
