Watch, dear Lord,
with those who wake
or watch or weep tonight,
and give your angels charge

soothe your suffering ones,
shield your joyous ones,
and all for your love’s sake.

WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART?
Those among Jesus’ disciples who raised the question “this saying is hard; who can
accept it?” reflect just how “shocking” was Jesus’ teaching that eating his flesh and
drinking his blood would bring eternal life. Not everyone who didn’t believe took
Judas’ path of murderous betrayal; most only fell away and “returned to their former
way of life and no longer accompanied him.” Does your faith in Jesus and participation
in the Eucharist make a difference in your everyday “way of life”? How do you
“accompany” Jesus each day?
WHERE WE LIVE, SERVE,
& WALK TOGETHER IN FAITH.
ST. JOSEPH’S

FROM THE PASTOR
My Dear Parish Family,
Last weekend I had the great privilege of traveling to
Maryland to celebrate the 25th Wedding anniversary of a
couple whose wedding was one of the first I witnessed as a
young priest. Their nuptials took place in St. Gertrude’s,
Island Heights and we have kept in contact throughout the
years. It was a wonderful celebration of faith and family as we
rejoiced in their Sacrament and witness to Christ’s presence in
their lives.
On the drive back, I got thinking about Jesus and how he is
present to us. We have been talking about the Eucharist and
Jesus, the Bread of Life especially over the past few weeks. I
offer some thoughts to you about how Jesus is present in the
Mass.



When we gather for Mass, Christ is made present again,
not only in the bread and wine, but in other ways as well.
Jesus is made present in the assembly of the people. The
Body of Christ is made up of its members, those who live
through, with, and in Christ.
Christ is made present in the Word of God proclaimed and
received by the assembly, for Jesus is the Word made
flesh, the total and complete revelation of God contained
in the entire Bible, the Word of God, not only written on a
page or spoken by a reader but embodied and lived by Jesus.
Jesus is also made present in the person of the priest who
presides at the altar, the table of the Lord’s sacrifice. The
eternal reality of the Lord’s Supper breaks into time, our
present time and day, at the Holy Mass. As Jesus reclined
at table with his disciples, so the priest stands at the table
of the Lord’s Supper with the faithful. Jesus is the Bread
of Life. He is present in the Eucharist; his Body and
Blood are manifested under the appearance of bread and
wine. He is Emmanuel, “God with us.”
I encourage you to think about how we each can see Jesus in our
day to day lives. Give it a try and you may just be surprised!
God bless you,
Fr. Scott

forward. Contact Gina in the office at 732-349-0018 ext.

A NOT E FR OM OU R B IS H OP:
To the Clergy, Religious and Faithful of the Diocese,
I write, once again, to express gratitude to you. The outpouring of prayers, love
and support at the passing of my Mother was overwhelming. I received over a
thousand Mass cards, sympathy cards, emails, letters and promises of prayers. Many of you actually attended the funeral Mass. My brother Dan
(Diocesan Department of Catholic Education) and I are so grateful to you all
as is our entire family. We could not possibly respond personally to each and
every act of kindness but please know that we deeply appreciated them at a very
difficult time. God bless you all!

PAGINA OCHO
MENSAJE DEL PASTOR
Estimada Familia Parroquial,
En las últimas semanas las lecturas hablan de la importancia de la
Eucaristía y Jesús, el Pan de vida. Yo he estado reflexionando sobre
estas y aquí les ofrezco unos puntos de como Jesús está presente en la
Misa.




Cuando nos reunimos en Misa, Cristo está presente, no
solamente en el pan y vino, pero en otras maneras. Jesús está
presente en la asamblea, ya que formamos el Cuerpo de Cristo,
viviendo en El y con El.
Cristo se hace presente en la proclamación de la Palabra, que es
recibida por la asamblea, porque Jesús es la Palabra hecha
carne, la revelación total y completa de Dios, revelada en la
Biblia. La Palabra de Dios es escrita, predicada por un lector,
encarnada y vivida por Jesús.
Jesús también se hace presente en la persona del sacerdote que
preside en el altar, que es la mesa del sacrificio del Señor. La
realidad eterna de la Cena del Señor irrumpe en el tiempo, en el
presente día y en la Santa Misa.
Cuando Jesús se sentó a la mesa con sus discípulos, en la Misa,
el sacerdote está en la mesa del Señor con los feligreses. Él
está presente en la Eucaristía; su Cuerpo y Sangre se
manifiestan bajo la apariencia del pan y vino. Él es Emmanuel,
"Dios con nosotros."
Yo los invito a que piensen y reflejen de cómo cada uno de ustedes
puede ver a Jesús en su vida, día a día. Hágalo esta semana, y veras la
sorpresa que te llevaras.
Que Dios los bendiga!

ANUNCIOS DE VIDA COMUNITARIA
¿Cómo actuamos en la iglesia?
Algunas reglas que nos servirán
La Iglesia es un lugar sagrado, reservado para el culto a Dios. El Santísimo Sacramento está en el tabernáculo y Su Presencia Real requiere de nosotros la mayor reverencia; por ello, el ambiente en la iglesia
debe conducir a la oración y el respeto a Dios.
Algunas reglas o buenas maneras que debemos enseñarle a nuestros hijos dentro de la
iglesia son:
* Prohibidos chicles, comidas y bebidas.
* Vestir decorosamente. Evitar escotes, vestidos provocativos, shorts y camisetas. *Mantener el celular apagado.
* Cuidar de no hacer ruido con los reclinatorios al levantarlos y bajarlos.
* No correr por la Iglesia
* No jugar o romper los libros que nos ayudan a seguir las lecturas cada domingo (además de su valor
económico, debemos pensar en su valor ecológico)
No permitamos que nuestros hijos pierdan el respeto, orden
y decoro hacia las cosas de Dios.
RITO DE INICIACIÓN CRISTIANA PARA ADULTOS (RICA): El RICA es un programa para adultos, y ahora para jóvenes y
niños que desean unirse a la Iglesia Católica aunque nunca hayan sido bautizados o que han sido bautizados en otra
iglesia Cristiana. También es para aquellas personas que fueron bautizadas pero que no tuvieron la oportunidad de
recibir el Sacramento de la Comunión y/o de la Confirmación. Anímate a participar de este programa y dale la oportunidad a tu vida de estar en comunión con Dios.
* Clases de preparación para adultos comienzan el 9 de agosto de 9:00 am a 11:00 am. Deben llegar a las 8:30 am a la
iglesia.
* Clases de iniciación cristiana para niños y jóvenes comienzan el 23 de agosto de 9:00 am a 11:00 am. Deben llegar a
las 8:30 am a la iglesia.
Si estas interesado puedes comunicarte con la oficina hispana.
SAN JOSE PEREGRINO: La imagen de nuestro Santo Patrón San José estará visitando nuestros hogares durante este
año. Si deseas recibir a San José un domingo y permitirle que sea el custodio de tu familia durante una semana puedes inscribirte al final de la misa de 6:30 pm, o puedes llamar a la oficina hispana y reservar la semana que desees.
SAN JOSÉ: Modelo de padre y esposo, patrón de la Iglesia universal, de los trabajadores,
de infinidad de comunidades religiosas y de la buena muerte.
INTENCIONES PARA EL 2016: Si Ud. Quiere mandar a decir una misa para el próximo año, por favor venga a la oficina
hispana para que escoja el domingo que desee. El libro se llena rápidamente.
