A Prayer for
World Peace
Lord of heaven and earth,
of all nations and peoples,
all faiths and no faith,
reveal Yourself to those who
are suffering, reveal Yourself
to all who are refugees, reveal
Yourself to those who are
powerful, reveal Yourself to
all who are powerless, reveal
Yourself to ordinary people
in their everyday lives, that this
world might reflect Your love
and Your glory.
Amen

WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART?
If three mysterious strangers appeared at your door, would you, as Abraham did, beg
them to stay—let alone even let them in? Would you frantically take care of them and
get a huge meal ready? Maybe you would if you had a feeling they were something
more than they seemed and might have something very important to say. In his
monastic Rule Saint Benedict said, “All guests who present themselves are to be
welcomed as Christ, for he himself will say: I was a stranger and you welcomed me
(Matthew 25:35).”
WHERE WE LIVE, SERVE,
& WALK TOGETHER IN FAITH.

FROM THE PASTOR
My Dear Parish Family,
On the heels of my homily last week, I offer this concluding paragraph to you from a Jesuit blogger,
Damian Torres-Botello from his blog entitled,
“In Living Color: I am not Black.”
“But, what do we do?!
I propose we pray, yes, pray all the live long day. But
we also need to get up off our knees, put those rosaries
down, even step away from the screens, and the Facebook, and the Twitter, and the news-noise. Go out our
front door, cross our yards or hallways, and meet our
neighbor. In the most literal way possible, meet our
neighbor. Look them in the eye, shake their hand,
know their name. Do the same if it’s an office or cubicle. At the bus stop, the coffee shop, the grocery store.
It seems too simple, on the verge of being naive. But
maybe simplicity is what we need when everything else
fails. Fear breeds inside the unknown. If we take a
moment to know each other then maybe we can begin
to live with each other. Then maybe Black Lives will
finally matter. And then every American can say,
without protest, without doubt, without hesitation or
qualification, All Lives Matter.”
Fr. Scott
Please be mindful that the Parish Office will have
shortened hours on Fridays during the months
of July & August. Our hours on Fridays
will be 8:30am-12:30pm

WELCOME DEACON TOM
Please welcome Deacon Thomas J. Barry Jr. to
the St. Joseph’s Church community. He will be
with us throughout the summer and then on
weekends as he continues his studies for the
priesthood at Immaculate Conception Seminary
on the campus of Seton Hall University. Born in
Long Branch in 1975 to Thomas and Patricia, he
has one brother and one sister. Deacon Tom’s
brother is engaged and is planning to marry soon. He also has one nephew
named Gus.
Growing up in Hazlet Township, most of his childhood revolved around
school, sports, work, and church. Deacon Tom’s college background consisted of two years of attending Brookdale Community College while earning an Associate degree in Criminal Justice. Then, he was transferred for
two subsequent years at Rutgers University-Rutgers College to earn a
Bachelors degree in Administration of Justice.
SUMMER HOURS
Tuesday & Thursday:
9:30am-3:00pm
Sunday: 8:30am-1:30pm
732-914-2457
His mom was the spiritual leader who made growing in the Catholic faith a
top priority. His father was the disciplinarian that instilled and grounded his
conscience to always strive to do the good. Deacon Tom feels he owes
great gratitude to both of them because they were instrumental in helping
him form himself into a sincere man. He has many family members on
both sides of the family that live in New Jersey, Florida, Georgia, California, and Pennsylvania. Please keep Deacon Tom in your prayers.

PAGINA OCHO
MENSAJE DEL PARROCO
Estimada familia Parroquial
Les ofrezco esta información del escritor de “blog”, Damián TorresBotello – Jesuita, relacionado con la violencia del país.
¿Qué podemos hacer?
Yo propongo orar, SI, orar, oremos todo el día. Pero además, guarden sus
rosarios y levántense, dejen de ver la tele, Facebook y Twitter, vayan y
busquen a su vecino. Míralo a los ojos, darle la mano, pregúntale su
nombre. As lo mismo en tu oficina, en la parada del bus, en el café, las
tiendas en todos los lugares. Esto suena muy simple, pero a lo mejor es
simplicidad, lo que necesitamos cuando todo lo demás falla.
El miedo siempre engendra en lo que no es conocido. Pero si tomamos el
tiempo para conocernos unos a otros, tal vez llegue el día que podamos
vivir juntos sin violencia ni racismo, y podamos decir sin protesta, duda o
hesitación, que “Todas” las vidas tienen valor.

Las Sagradas Escrituras celebran las bellezas del Carmelo
donde el profeta Elías defendió la pureza de la fe de
Israel en el Dios vivo (1 Reyes, 18, 19).
En el siglo XII, cuando las Cruzadas llegaron a Tierra
Santa, se dice que encontraron una colonia de ermitaños,
viviendo en el monte Carmelo. Habían sido reunidos en
comunidades por el patriarca de Jerusalén, quien les
dio una regla de vida aprobada formalmente por el papa
Honorio III, en 1226.
Cuando Palestina cayó en manos de los mahometanos,
muchos de los ermitaños huyeron a Europa y se adaptaron
al nuevo ambiente. La orden se dedicaba a la vida
contemplativa, bajo el patrocinio de la Virgen María.
De aquí proviene la célebre advocación mariana, conocida
con el nombre de Virgen del Carmelo o Nuestra Señora
del Carmen.
La fiesta fue aprobada en 1587 por el papa Sixto V para
la orden de los carmelitas y luego se extendió a la Iglesia
universal. En Hispanoamérica, el culto a la Virgen del
Carmen está muy difundido, debido principalmente al
celo apostólico que mostraron los carmelitas en la
evangelización de estas naciones. El escapulario en
honor de la Virgen es una de las devociones preferidas.
Santa Teresa de Ávila también reconocida como
Santa Teresa de Jesús es Doctora de la Iglesia.
Ella reformo la orden Carmelita de los Descalzados y
fundo los primeros conventos de hermanas religiosas.
