25 OCTOBER 2015
DISCOVER, FOLLOW, AND SHARE
THE LIFE OF SERVICE
25 October 2015
XXX Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear John Doe,
“The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve and to give His Life as a ransom for many” (Saint Mark
X:45). Ever since the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us, that Life of service has glorified God and advanced His
Kingdom through, with, and in the lives of those who walk in the footsteps of service.
A life of service may be the road less traveled, but it is never-the-less the way of life on earth that leads to
Eternal Life in Heaven. It is the way of life discovered and followed by members of the armed forces who here and
abroad defend our inalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. It is the way of life discovered and
followed by police officers who seek to preserve law and order in society. It is the way of life discovered and followed
by firefighters who rush in to seek out and save what was lost. It is the way of life discovered and followed by married
men and women who through the natural course of things become mothers and fathers and establish families where
God can be known, loved, and served!
When a life of service is discovered and followed, it very often inspires others to want to share that life. And
as true as that is regarding the inspiring lives of service we see in our civil servants, it is true as well of those who
discover and follow Christ as Ecclesial servants. It is true of the men who discover Christ and follow Him in the
Priesthood. It is true of the men and women who discover Christ and follow Him in Religious Life. And, it is true of the
men who discover Christ and follow Him as Permanent Deacons.
The Life of service discovered, followed, and shared by Deacons is looking for a few good
men from Our Holy Redeemer in Freeport to discover It, follow It, and share It. If you are a man
whose faith brings you to Mass every Sunday and whose faith in Christ is the basis for what you do
outside of Mass throughout the week, then please come and see if perhaps you are one of those
good men by attending one of three information sessions at the Seminary of the Immaculate
Conception in Huntington. Your attendance at one of these sessions will not be received as a
decision on your part to enter into the Deaconate, nor will it be an expression of the Church’s
selection of you for this Ministry. Rather, such attendance will indicate what I have come to observe
as your Pastor: that the Parish of Our Holy Redeemer in Freeport has more than just a few good
men; Our Holy Redeemer has you!
In the Service of God and His Church,
Rev. Father Douglas R. Arcoleo
Pastor
 THE PASTOR’S OATH OF FIDELITY 
25 OCTOBER 2015
Seven years ago, on 19 October 2008, I was officially installed as the tenth Pastor of Our Holy Redeemer
Roman Catholic Church in Freeport, New York. On that day, I publicly professed, in the presence of Bishopdelegate and Pastor of Saint Martha’s in Uniondale, Monsignor Francis Caldwell, an Oath of Fidelity that I
gratefully renew today.
“I, Father Arcoleo, on assuming the Office of Pastor, of Our Holy Redeemer Parish, Freeport/New York,
promise that I shall always preserve communion with the Catholic Church
both in the words I speak and in the way I act.
With great care and fidelity
I shall carry out the responsibilities by which I am bound in relation
both to the universal Church and to the particular Church
in which I am called to exercise my service
according to the requirements of the law.
In carrying out my charge, which is committed to me by the Church,
I shall preserve the Deposit of Faith in its entirety,
hand it on faithfully and make it shine forth.
As a result, whatsoever teachings are contrary to it, I shall shun.
I shall follow and foster the common discipline of the whole Church and
shall look after the observance of all ecclesiastical laws,
especially those which are contained in the Code of Canon Law.
With Christian obedience
I shall associate myself with what is expressed by the Bishops as authentic doctors
and teachers of the faith or established by them as the Church's rulers.
And I shall faithfully assist diocesan bishops so that
all apostolic activity,
to be exercised by the mandate and in the name of the Church,
is carried out in the communion of the same Church.
May God help me in this way and the holy Gospels of God
which I touch with my hands.”
Please pray that by God’s grace and the help of the Church, I
may be faithful to this Oath of Fidelity for as long as I remain
the Pastor of Our Holy Redeemer.

(ABOUT THE FAMILY)

The Family - 20. Wounds (I)
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good Morning!
In recent catecheses we have spoken about the family suffering through the frailties of the human condition,
poverty, sickness and death. Today, however, we will reflect on the hurts that are incurred in family life.
When, that is, we hurt one another within the family. The worst thing!
We know that in every family history there are moments in which the intimacy of loved ones is offended by
the behaviour of its members. Words and actions (and omissions!) that, rather than expressing love, dismiss
it, or even mortify it. When these hurts, which are still rectifiable, are ignored, they deepen: they transform
into impertinence, hostility and contempt. And at that point they can become deep wounds that divide
husband and wife, and induce them to find understanding, support, consolation elsewhere. But often these
“supports” do not consider the good of the family!
The depletion of conjugal love spreads resentment in relationships. And often this disintegration “collapses”
onto the children.
There: the children. I would like to meditate a little on this point. Despite our seemingly evolved sensitivity,
and all our refined psychological analyses, I ask myself if we are not just anaesthetizing ourselves to the
wounds in children’s souls. The more you try to compensate with gifts and snacks, the more you lose your
sense of these spiritual wounds — so painful and so deep. We talk a lot about behavioural problems, mental
health, the well-being of the child, about the anxiety of parents and their children.... But do we even know
what a spiritual wound is? Do we feel the weight of the mountain that crushes the soul of a child in those
families where members mistreat and hurt one another to the point of breaking the bonds of marital fidelity.
How much weight, do our choices have — mistaken choices, for example — how much weight do they place
on the soul of our children? When adults lose their head, when each one thinks only of him- or herself,
when a dad and mom hurt one another, the souls of their children
suffer terribly, they experience a sense of despair. And these
wounds leave a mark that lasts their whole lives.
In the family, everything is connected: when her soul is wounded in
some way, the infection spreads to everyone. And when a man and
a woman, who have committed to being “one flesh” and forming a
family, think obsessively of their own need for freedom and
gratification, this bias affects the hearts and lives of their children in
a profound way. Frequently these children hide to cry alone.... We
need to understand this fully. Husband and wife are one flesh. Their
own little children are flesh of their flesh. If we think of the harshness with which Jesus admonishes adults
not to scandalize the little ones — we heard the Gospel passage (cf. Mt 18:6) — we can also better
understand his words on the serious responsibility to guard the marital bond that gives rise to the human
family (cf. Mt 19:6-9). When man and woman have become one flesh, all the father and mother’s wounds
and neglect have an impact on the living flesh of their children.
It is true, on the other hand, that there are cases in which separation is inevitable. At times it becomes even
morally necessary, precisely when it is a matter of removing the weaker spouse or young children from the
gravest wounds caused by abuse and violence, by humiliation and exploitation, by disregard and
indifference.
There are, thanks be to God, those who, sustained by faith and by love for their children, bear witness to
their fidelity to a bond they believed in, although it may seem impossible to revive it. Not all those who are
separated feel called to this vocation. Not all discern, in their solitude, the Lord calling them. Around us we
find various families in so-called irregular situations — I don’t really like this word — and it causes us to
wonder. How do we help them? How do we accompany them? How do we accompany them so that the
children aren’t taken hostage by either dad or mom?
Let us ask the Lord for great faith, in order to see reality through the eyes of God; and for great charity in
order to approach people with His merciful heart.

NEWS FROM THE DE LA SALLE SCHOOL
(516) 379-8660
Brother Dennis Lee, FSC, who serves as a missionary in Kenya, stopped by to visit with our
students. He showed pictures of the people, places, and animals he encountered during his time in
East Africa. He discussed his experience of living in community with young African Brothers. He
provided a history lesson chronicling European colonization of the continent. He also told stories
of people who live in slums and who benefit from the healing hand of our Church. He recounted the experience of
students for whom education is so precious that they surmount many challenges to attend school and who pursue
their studies with diligence. He spoke specifically of Christ the Teacher Institute for Education in Nairobi where he
serves college age students interested in becoming teachers. This institute is affiliated with Saint Mary’s University of
Minnesota, a Lasallian school here in the United States. In addition he spoke of the young people who attend
Mwangaza College in Nakuru, Kenya, the Lasallian school with which The De La Salle School is twinned. Our students
gained a greater appreciation of the impact of their Lenten contribution in support of that school.
Brother Dennis’ visit was timely as the universal church was preparing to observe World Mission Sunday and as we
reflected on Pope Francis’ reminder that by our Baptism each of us is called to engage in missionary activity both in
distant lands and in our local community.

Scripture Reflection
“Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me.” (See Mark 10:46-52) This prayer, said by blind
Bartimaeus, is the famous “Jesus Prayer,”—one of the most famous of all prayers. Many of
us have said that prayer and when it is said in sincerity there is no doubt that Jesus always
answers. But Bartimaeus story does not stop with the prayer. Jesus heals Bartimaeus and
then Bartimaeus follows Jesus. Some may see the answer of the prayer as the end of the
story, but in reality it is only the beginning! With every gift of Jesus we receive a new
responsibility. It is only when we carry out that responsibility that we find the true meaning
of the gift. In fact, in doing so, we also find the true meaning of life. Bartimaeus followed
Jesus. He found real joy, not just because he received his sight, but also because from then
on he helped others to recover their sight. Do we imitate his example?

 CARTA ABIERTA DEL PASTOR 
25 DE OCTUBRE DE 2015
DESCUBRIENDO, SIGUIENDO Y
COMPARTIENDO
LA VIDA DE SERVICIO
25 de Octubre de 2015
XXX Domingo en Tiempo Ordinario
Estimado Pedro Pérez,
“El Hijo del Hombre no vino a que lo sirvieran, sino a server y a dar Su vida en rescate por muchos.” (San
Marcos X:45) Desde que la Palabra se hizo carne y moró entre nosotros, esa Vida de servicio ha glorificado a Dios y
avanzado Su reino mediante, por, y en las vidas de los que andan en la jornada de servicio.
Una vida de servicio quizás sea el camino menos transitado pero es la vida en la tierra que conduce a la vida
eterna en el Cielo. Es el camino de vida descubierto y seguido por los miembros de las fuerzas armadas que defienden
aquí y en el extranjero nuestros derechos inalienables a la vida, la libertad y la búsqueda de la felicidad. ¡Es el camino
de vida descubierto y seguido por los agentes de policía que tratan de preservar la ley y el orden en la sociedad. Es el
camino de vida descubierto y seguido por los bomberos que se apresuran a buscar y salvar lo que estaba perdido. Es
el camino de vida descubierto y seguido por los hombres y mujeres que en el curso natural de las cosas se convierten
en madres y padres y establecen familias donde Dios puede ser conocido, amado y servido!
Cuando alguien descubre y sigue la vida de servicio, muy a menudo inspira a otros a querer compartir esa vida.
Y tan cierto como es en el caso de la vida inspiradoras de servicio que vemos en nuestros funcionarios públicos, es
cierto también de los que descubren y siguen a Cristo como funcionarios eclesiales. Es cierto de los hombres que
descubren a Cristo y lo siguen en el sacerdocio. Es el caso de los hombres y mujeres que descubren a Cristo y lo siguen
en la vida religiosa. Y, es cierto de los hombres que descubren a Cristo y lo siguen como Diáconos Permanentes.
La vida de servicio que los diáconos han descubierto, seguido y compartido busca unos pocos hombres buenos
de Nuestro Santo Redentor en Freeport. Si usted es un hombre cuya fe le trae a misa todos los domingos y cuya fe en
Cristo es la base de lo que hace fuera de la Misa durante la semana, por favor vaya a ver si tal vez usted es uno de esos
hombres de bien asistiendo a una de los tres sesiones de información en el Seminario de la Inmaculada Concepción en
Huntington. Su asistencia a una de esas sesiones no será recibida como una decisión de parte suya para entrar en el
Diaconado, ni tampoco como una expresión de que la iglesia lo ha elegido a usted para este Ministerio. Más bien, el
asistir mostrará lo que su Pastor ha estado observando desde que llegó: ¡Que la Parroquia de Nuestra Santo Redentor
en Freeport tiene algo más que unos pocos hombres Buenos; Nuestro Santo Redentor lo tiene a usted!
En el Servicio de Dios y Su Iglesia,
Rev. Padre Douglas R. Arcoleo
Pastor
 JURAMENTO DE LEALTAD DEL PASTOR  25 DE OCTUBRE DE 2015
Hace sieta años el 19 de Octubre de 2008, fui oficialmente instalado como décimo Pastor de la Iglesia Católica
Romana de Nuestro Santo Redentor en Freeport, Nueva York. Ese día públicamente profesé en la presencia del
delegado episcopal y Pastor de Santa Marta en Uniondale, Monseñor Francis Caldwell, un Juramento de Lealtad
que agradecidamente renuevo hoy.
“Yo, Padre Arcoleo, al asumir el Oficio de Pastor en la Parroquia de Nuestro Santo Redentor en Freeport/New York,
prometo mantenerme siempre en comunión con la Iglesia Católica
tanto de palabra como de hecho.
Con sumo cuidado y fidelidad
desempeñaré las responsabilidades a las que me he comprometido tanto en relación con
la Iglesia universal como con la Iglesia particular a la cual estoy llamado a ejercer mi servicio
según los requisitos de la ley.
En el desempeño del cargo que la Iglesia me ha encomendado,
preservaré el Depósito de la Fe en su totalidad,
transmitiéndolo fielmente, haciéndolo brillar.
Como resultado, rechazaré cualesquier enseñanzas que le sean contrarias.
Seguiré y fomentaré la disciplina común de toda la Iglesia y
velaré por el cumplimiento de todas las leyes eclesiásticas,
especialmente las que están contenidas en el Código de Derecho Canónico.
Con obediencia Cristiana
me asociaré con todo lo declarado por los obispos
como auténticos doctores y maestros de la fe
o establecido por ellos como gobernantes eclesiásticos.
Y fielmente ayudaré a los obispos diocesanos de modo
que toda actividad apostólica,
ejercida por mandato y en el nombre de la lglesia,
se lleve a cabo en comunión con la misma Iglesia.
Que Dios me ayude en este camino y los Santos Evangelios
de Dios que toco con mis manos.”
Por favor oren que por la gracia de Dios y la ayuda de la Iglesia, yo
pueda ser fiel a este Juramento durante todo el tiempo que
permanezca como Pastor de Nuestro Santo Redentor.

CUARTA PARTE: LA ORACIÓN CRISTIANA
2605 Cuando llega la hora de cumplir el plan amoroso del Padre, Jesús deja entrever la profundidad insondable de su plegaria filial, no solo
antes de entregarse libremente (“Padre... no mi voluntad, sino la tuya”: Lc 22, 42), sino hasta en sus últimas palabras en la Cruz, donde orar
y entregarse son una sola cosa: “Padre, perdónales, porque no saben lo que hacen” (Lc 23, 34); “Yo te aseguro: hoy estarás conmigo en el
Paraíso” (Lc 24,43); “Mujer, ahí tienes a tu Hijo [...]. Ahí tienes a tu madre” (Jn 19, 26-27); “Tengo sed” (Jn 19, 28); “¡Dios mío, Dios mío!
¿Por qué me has abandonado?” (Mc 15, 34; cf Sal 22, 2); “Todo está cumplido” (Jn 19, 30); “Padre, en tus manos pongo mi espíritu” (Lc 23,
46), hasta ese “fuerte grito” cuando expira entregando el espíritu (cf Mc 15, 37; Jn 19, 30).

Reflexión Semanal
“¡Jesús, hijo de David, ten compasión de mí!” (Vea Marcos 10:46-52) Esta oración dicha por
el ciego Bartimeo, es la famosa “Oración a Jesús,”—una de las oraciones más famosas.
Muchos de nosotros hemos dicho esa oración y podemos estar seguros de que siempre que
esa oración se hace con sinceridad, Jesús la contesta. Pero el relato de Bartimeo no termina
ahí. Jesús sana a Bartimeo y entonces Bartimeo se pone a seguir a Jesús. A veces nos parece
que el recibir la respuesta nuestras oraciones le pone fin al relato. Pero en realidad la
respuesta no es más que el principio. Con cada don que recibimos de Jesús recibimos una
nueva responsabilidad. Es cuando cumplimos con esa responsabilidad que hallamos el
significado verdadero del don. De hecho, también hallamos el significado verdadero de la
vida. Bartimeo se puso a seguir a Jesús. Él halló gozo verdadero no solo porque había
recibido la vista, sino también porque desde ese entonces comenzó a ayudar a otros a ver.
¿Imitamos nosotros su ejemplo?

MASTER,
I WANT TO SEE!
As Jesus was leaving Jericho
with His disciples and a sizable
crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind
man, sat by the roadside
begging. On hearing that it
was Jesus of Nazareth, he
began to cry out and say,
“Jesus, Son of David, have
pity on me.” … Jesus stopped
and said, “Call him.” So they
called the blind man, saying to
him, “Take courage; get up,
Jesus is calling you.” He threw
aside his cloak, sprang up,
and came to Jesus. Jesus said
to him in reply, “What do
you want Me to do for you?”
The blind man replied, “Master,
I want to see.” Jesus told
him, “Go your way; your faith
has saved you.” Immediately
he received his sight and
followed him on the way.
