August 14, 2016 Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

1883-2016

WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART?

At Masses around the world every day, millions of people, in the words of the

gospel, ―eat and drink‖ with the Lord—would Jesus disown any of them, the way

the master does in the gospel story? Maybe more than most folks would assume.

He didn’t want followers who tagged along for a meal and a few pieces of wisdom;

he wanted disciples to walk next to him on the hard road to Jerusalem and beyond.

Not merely people to ―do‖ the ritual and say that’s good enough but those willing

to embrace him, his Way, and his fate. Which one of those people will you be?

Prayer for the Assumption of Mary

Father in heaven, all creation

wisdom, she who bore the

Christ in her womb, was raised

body and soul in glory to be

with Him in heaven. May we

follow her example in reflecting

Your holiness and join in her

hymn of endless love and

praise.

We ask this through Christ

our Lord. Amen.

FROM THE PASTOR

My Dear Parish Family,

Summer is certainly flying by at breakneck speed. It seems like

just a couple weeks ago we were welcoming Deacon Tom Barry to

our parish. Deacon Tom has finished his time with us, for now, and will be returning to Immaculate Conception Seminary at Seton

Hall for his last year of theological study before being ordained to

the Holy Priesthood in June, 2017. Throughout this school year,

Deacon will be coming to St. Joseph’s each weekend and assisting us with his presence at Mass, Baptisms and possibly a presentation

or two on an aspect of our faith. Please keep him in your prayers.

Another change took place in our parish office staff. Mrs. Jackie Mack, our parish business manager, retired after approximately 9

years of serving our parish. We thank Jackie for her tireless service

and wish her well in retirement (and the golf course with her hus-band!) Mr. Tom McMahon has assumed the business manager

position. Tom is a parishioner and longtime resident of Toms

River. He comes to us highly recommended and we are happy to

welcome him onto our parish staff.

Last week, I took the opportunity to visit our Donovan Summer

Soccer camp out at the sports fields at Whitty Road. It was a beau-

tiful day with so many young folks out and enjoying the sport and learning more. I also attended the Donovan’s summer musical per-

formance of Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods.” Once again, I

was amazed at the talent of our young people and the staff and coaches that work with them! Well done!

God bless you all.

Fr. Scott

Please be mindful that the Parish Office will have

shortened hours on Fridays during the month of August.

Our hours on Fridays will be 8:30am-12:30pm

There is no wood better to kindle the fire of holy love than the wood of the cross, which Christ used for his own great sacrifice of boundless charity. —Saint Ignatius

AROUND TOWN

EXCERPT FROM ―MERCY AND TRUTH SHALL MEET‖ BISHOP DAVID M. O’CONNELL, C.M.

The Scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman who had commit-ted adultery. The law of Moses re-quired that such a woman should be stoned to death. The Lord Jesus knew the law and its demands and was well aware that those leaders were testing him. He remained quiet in the face of their accusation and test, bent down to write something on the ground, and became the focus of their persistence. He stood up, glanced around at the crowd and uttered his famous words, ―Let the one without sin be the first to cast a stone at her.‖ No stones were lifted,

the crowd dispersed and in that mo-ment, in the encounter of the Lord Jesus with this sinful woman, mercy and truth met.

The Lord Jesus looked at her and asked ―Has no one condemned you?‖ ―No one, Lord,‖ she an-swered. ―Neither do I condemn you.‖ ―Go. From now on, sin no more (John 8: 10-11).‖ Notice that the law was clear. The Lord Jesus did not deny the truth of its demands nor did he change the ―law.‖

Notice, too, that the adulterous wom-an did not deny the truth of the accu-sation and asked for nothing. She did not earn forgiveness or even ask for it. The Lord Jesus, however, did not condemn her as he confronted the truth of her situation. The Lord Jesus showed her mercy. And then he sent her on her way, without compro-mise, reminding her to follow truth.

IS JESUS CALLING YOU? We are in need of Adorers for the following hours: Call John & Peggy 732-581-9463 or Ann 732-473-9727

Sun:1:00-2:00am; 4:00-5:00am; 2:00-3:00pm Tues: 8:00-9:00pm Wed: 3:00-4:00am Thurs:10:00-11:00am Fri: 2:00-3:00am

Estimada familia Parroquial,

El verano está pasando sumamente rápido. Parece ser que solo unas

semanas atrás le dimos la bienvenida al Diacono Tom seminarista.

Sin embargo, ya el ha regresado al Seminario para terminar su ultimo ano en la preparación para recibir los votos sacerdotales. Él nos

visitara durante este año todos los fines de semanas para ayudar en

Misa, Bautizos etc. Le pedimos que lo mantenga en sus oraciones.

La Asunción de la Santisima Virgen Maria La Biblia menciona a María por última vez en Pentecostés, cuando recibió al Espíritu Santo en el cenáculo con los apóstoles, y quedó así constituida como "Madre de la Iglesia".

Probablemente acompañó al apóstol san Juan a Éfeso, puesto que el divino Maestro se la había

encomendado desde la cruz. En Roma encontramos, desde el siglo VIII la fiesta del 15 de agosto con el nombre "Nata-licio de santa María". El papa Pío XII la haya promulgado como dog-ma, el día de Todos los Santos del año santo de 1950.

Delante de 600 obispos, definió en la bula "Munificentíssimus Deus", la Asunción de María con las siguientes palabras: "Habiendo orado insistentemente a Dios y habiendo pedido la luz del Espíritu de verdad, para gloria del Dios todopoderoso, que hizo a María objeto de tan señalados favores; para honor de su Hijo, rey inmortal de los siglos y vencedor del pecado y de la muerte; para el acrecentamiento de la gloria de su santísima Madre y para el acrecentamiento de toda la Iglesia, Nos, por la autoridad de nuestro Señor Jesucristo y de los bienaventurados apóstoles Pedro y Pablo y por nuestra propia autoridad, declaramos y definimos que es un dogma divinamente revelado, que la inmaculada Madre de Dios, la siempre Virgen María, fue asunta en cuerpo y alma a la gloria del cielo, al terminar su vida mortal".

La fiesta de la Asunción, y podemos añadir de la coronación de María, es la gloriosa recompensa de Dios a los demás misterios de la vida de María, desde el anuncio del ángel hasta su martirio junto a la Cruz.
