Signs in the Heavens
Dear Parish Family,
It was 50 years ago this week that an incorrectly set circuit breaker at a power plant in upstate New York
tripped. Its failure caused a cascade of similar events that continued until just about all of New England and
our metropolitan area were plunged into darkness. Needless to say, countless people were thrown into panic
as the grid became unglued! In Queens, where I grew up, people scrambled for flashlights and candles and
tried to find out what was happening. Local stations were off the air and people tuned to distant stations
hoping to learn what happened and, most of all, when the lights would come back on. There were lots of
things that weren't working: subways, refrigerators, elevators, radios and televisions; but what most people
remember was the lights! When you are used to lights everywhere, the dark can be pretty intimidating.
Some remember only the fright and inconvenience. Others remember the night with some affection. It was
quiet. Families gathered around candles in the kitchen. Ordinary life came to a halt. I remember going
outside to look at the sky. On ordinary nights in Queens, the streetlights and the glow of the city made stars
barely visible. But that night was just beautiful. The stars were everywhere and the Milky Way was clearly
visible over Manhattan.
An event that interrupts our usual pattern of life always helps us notice things more clearly. Sometimes we
can see them coming. Sometimes we need to pay more attention. In the gospel today Jesus reminds his
disciples that they are very good at interpreting signs. They can see storms coming, seed about to sprout,
and the nearness of the harvest. But they are not so astute at seeing what is happening to them as they
journey with Jesus toward Jerusalem, the city of his dying and rising. In Mark’s gospel this discussion of
signs is the last discourse of Jesus before his anointing at Bethany and the beginning of his
passion. Remember that the resurrection happens to Jesus and also to the disciples. Jesus wonders if these
followers who are so good at ordinary signs can sense the life that is about to take fire in them.
In a couple of weeks we are going to seal the two doors at the beginning of our main aisle. They are being
closed so that we can open them with great ceremony at the beginning of the Holy Year of Mercy on
December 13th. Their closing will get your attention. It will be a little inconvenient. You will have to go
toward one of the other doors. I will be asked a million times: “What is wrong with the doors?” I can’t wait
to explain. Their opening will be a sign.
At a church an open door is always a sign of welcome. In this year it will be a sign of welcome expressed in
God’s mercy to us and our mercy to each other. Some signs are easy to see and some require more
attention. Be attentive and see that your life, and your own kindness, are signs of God’s mercy.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Michael A. Vetrano, Pastor

Medical Ethics for Patients: Fr. Mike Vetrano –November 16, 2015
5:30 PM Rogers Memorial Library
How Knowledge About Ethics and Patient Rights Can Help
You Optimize Your Health Care
Medical ethics, which examines ethical and social issues in the practice of medicine, is traditionally
studied by physicians to enhance their understanding of patient rights, autonomy, and
compassionate care. A growing body of real world knowledge suggests that patients should be
better educated about their own rights and responsibilities and about how to communicate
effectively with health care professionals.
Reservations are appreciated. Register at www.myrml.org or call (631)283-0774, ext. 523.

BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE
November is the Month of the Holy Souls. Our church has the custom of giving a place of
honor to a book in which parishioners write the names of their deceased. We recall and pray for
our beloved dead, trusting in God's eternal love and mercy to welcome them into the glory of heaven. We
invite you to share this time of remembrance by writing in the book the names of those friends and loved
ones who have fallen asleep in Christ. The book will be conveniently located in the church's center aisle.
We remember those parishioners who passed away since our last All Souls Day
The souls of the just are in the hands of God

APOSTOLADO HISPANO
Tomado de http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/es.html
El Papa Francisco habla sobre de las Familias Quisiera marcar dos puntitos de la familia en los que
quisiera que se tuviera un especial cuidado. No sólo
quisiera, tenemos que tener un especial cuidado. Los
niños y los abuelos. Los niños y los jóvenes son el
futuro, son la fuerza, los que llevan adelante. Son
aquellos en los que ponemos esperanza. Los abuelos
son la memoria de la familia. Son los que nos dieron la
fe, nos transmitieron la fe. Cuidar a los abuelos y
cuidar a los niños es la muestra de amor –no sé si más
grande, pero yo diría– más promisoria de la familia,
porque promete el futuro. Un pueblo que no saber
cuidar a los niños y un pueblo que no sabe cuidar a los
abuelos, es un pueblo sin futuro, porque no tiene la
fuerza y no tiene la memoria que lo lleve adelante. La
familia es bella, pero cuesta, trae problemas. En la
familia a veces hay enemistades. El marido se pelea
con la mujer, o se miran mal, o los hijos con el padre.
Les sugiero un consejo: Nunca terminen el día sin
hacer la paz en la familia. En una familia no se puede
terminar el día en guerra. Que Dios los bendiga. Que
Dios les dé fuerzas. Que Dios los anime a seguir
adelante. Cuidemos la familia. Defendamos la familia
porque ahí se juega nuestro futuro. Gracias. Que Dios
los bendiga y recen por mí, por favor. Tomado de http://

Reflections On the Gospel from Pax Christi
November 15, 2015
The end is approaching, at least the end of the liturgical year, and Sunday’s readings make that point
very clear. As a matter of fact, if we consider the forewarnings of doom and gloom and look at our
own news, it might seem that not just the end of the liturgical year is near. So should we be
depressed, despondent, frightened? Should we rest assured that we are among the saved and not
worry? Or should we see this time as opportunity to resist both resignation and overconfidence and
use it in the service of one another, “leading many to justice,” alleviating distress and disgrace as
much as possible?
