OUR LITURGY

Jeremiah writes eloquently of some of the painful things

he experienced in answering God’s call to serve as His

prophet. Paul exhorts the Romans to offer themselves as

living sacrifices to God. In the Gospel, Jesus reveals that

he must suffer and die to fulfill his saving mission. The

disciples must, likewise, take up their crosses and follow

Him.

the Sacrament of

Confirmation. This question comes up,

because many Adults have not received the Sacrament for

various reasons. While it is true, that one can get married

without receiving Confirmation, it is also true that one

should not leave this world without being confirmed.

Why, would anyone turn his or her back on receiving

everything that God wants to give? Why settle for second

best, when God wants to give us the very best Himself. It

is true, however, that a Catholic who is not confirmed

cannot serve as a God Parent-for they have not

completed their initiation into the Church. How can a

person serve as a God Parent (leading their God Child

closer to God) when they themselves do not have

everything they need to do the job?

If you are an adult who has not been confirmed, all is

not lost. We have a series of programs (processes) to

bring you to this wonderful sacrament, and you could

receive Confirmation on this Pentecost Sunday this

coming spring. If you have not received Communion and

Confirmation then you can take part in the RCIA. Please

call the Rectory for more information, and if you know

someone who needs to receive this sacrament let them

know about what St. Joseph’s has to offer.

On Sunday September 11, 2005 at 3 PM, we will

celebrate a Special Memorial Mass for the Victims of

September 11, 2001. We will of course have our full

schedule of Sunday Masses-where the Victims are one of

the intentions at each Mass, but this will be a Special

Mass just to help us get through the events of that painful

day.

Also, on the weekend of September 10 & 11 we will

begin selling tickets for our Annual Backwards Raffle,

with the Raffle taking place in late November. Buy your

tickets now-remember there are only 500 tickets sold-so

buy early and buy often to get a chance at $10,000 grand

prize. Sunday the 11th is also Unity Sunday refreshments

and fellow ship will follow the 9 AM, 10:30 AM and 12

Noon Masses in Carew Hall.

Since School is starting on September 7, 2005,

we return to the Tuesday Morning 8:45 Mass

(moving from 9 AM to 8:45 on Tuesday Mornings

only until the end of June next year even when the

school is on vacation. This way we don’t drive

ourselves crazy wondering if Mass is at 8:45 or

9 AM). This will start on Tuesday September 6;

2005-our school faculty will be present at this

Mass as they begin the school year a day before

our students arrive.

Thank you, for all you do for St. Joseph’s

Fr. Mike

“Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me.”

With these words, Peter is rebuked and you can almost

imagine him wanting to run for the hills-if he could! Last

week Peter is given high praise by Jesus and is told that he

is the rock on which Christ will build His Church, and he is

given the Keys to the Kingdom. And now this week, Jesus

calls him Satan and an obstacle. Why? Why, because Peter

was trying to be a good friend and a good son of Israel and

he would not hear anything about how the Messiah would

suffer and die on the Cross. God forbid anything like that

would happen-Jesus you must be wrong. Of course Peter is

saying what anyone of us would say and he is acting as

anyone of us would act if we were in the same situation.

So why does Jesus act so violently to Peter? Well because

Peter is one of Jesus’ closest Apostles, and Jesus is

sensitive to Peter’s feelings. Likewise, Jesus Himself is

personally upset about this situation, so He does not need

someone to diminish His resolve. We get the feeling that

Peter is perhaps the only one who could actually tempt

Jesus away from carrying out His Divine mission.

However,

Jesus recovers quickly, and tells Peter as He tells them all,

STOP THINKING LIKE HUMAN BEINGS, THINK AS

GOD THINKS! For when we can think like God, then we

can see that Jesus had to undergo what He did for our

salvation. And when we can be open to God’s thought

process, we can follow Jesus, deny ourselves, and take up

our Cross everyday.

How do we do this? The only way is that we

must be like Jesus, and we must sacrifice for, and

live our lives focused on others. Sacrifice also

means not to live just for this life, but for the life

that is to come, and to help lead others to Christ

and eternal life. We should take up our Cross and

make these sacrifices with gladness, for when we do

we are open to do God’s will and when we do

God’s will we are truly happy and totally free from

a life of misery, and falsehood. Now this does not

mean that we will have a life without troubles, but

it does mean that we will feel God with us everyday

giving us the strength to get through our troubles.

Before you know it, School will be starting up and we

will begin a new year of Religious Education. In a few

short months, we will celebrate the Sacrament of

Confirmation and our young people will become adult

members of the Church. In September, they will be

meeting with members of the parish staff and volunteers for

Confirmation Interviews. In October, they will be going on

retreat and in November Bishop Paul Walsh will confer on

them this wonderful Sacrament and they will receive the

fullness of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

RESPECT LIFE

It is important to stress that the Catholic

Church is not against all forms of stem cell

research. The Church opposes only those

methods that involve the destruction of a

human life, such as embryonic stem cell research.

There are methods of obtaining human stem cells from

adults, and in fact the federal government has spent

hundreds of millions of dollars funding that research.

Stem cells from the placenta, bone marrow, and the

umbilical cord are already being used to treat leukemia.

Researchers have also had some success treating

juvenile diabetes, spinal cord injury, immune deficiency

and corneal damage with adult stem cells.

This is a growing field of research that may one day

yield great medical fruits without involving the grave

ethical and moral problems of embryonic stem cell

research. The Church has consistently taught that human

life must be respected from the moment of conception.

From the earliest days of the Church, Christians have

opposed abortion. The Didache, the Church’s oldest

teaching manual, was written around 90 A.D. It

condemned both abortion and infanticide: “You shall not

kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the

newborn to perish.”

An early Christian philosopher named Athenagoras

wrote to the Roman emperor in 175 A.D.: “For we regard

the fetus in the womb as a created being and therefore an

object of God’s care.” So strong is this prohibition that

the Church stresses that even if a killing (abortion) was

with the intention of helping another, the killing of an

innocent human being is an absolutely unacceptable act.

Science has revealed that the embryo from the

moment of conception has the entire genetic makeup of a

unique human life, distinct from both father and mother.

The embryo is not an organ, like an appendix, or a

cellular blob without purpose or plan. It is completely and

fully human in its innermost being, and it needs only time

to grow and develop into a recognizable human person.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and

before you were born I consecrated you.” (Jeremiah 1:5)

Even Used Inkjet Cartridges,

Have Their Uses

We have found a way to help St Joseph and keep those

complicated pieces of plastic, metal and printed circuit

boards out of the land fill. Drop them off (in a plastic

baggie) when you come to mass. We will send them to a

company who reuses them and gives the parish a bounty for

each. One note, to clear confusion, if it is larger than a fist,

it is not an inkjet cartridge!!!
