THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED FAITHFUL GENEROSITY IN OUR WEEKLY COLLECTION
Collection for the weekend of Sep 19: $ 6,848.50
This weekend is our Annual Collection for St. Joseph’s Seminary. Please continue, through your prayers and generosity, to support the important work of priestly formation. This collection provides critical funding to support the formation of future priests for the Archdiocese. The cost of housing and educating seminarians is an investment for tomorrow, and the participation of the parishes is an invaluable aspect of this endeavor. Please be as generous as your means may allow.
Thank you for your support!

“God gives me everything, I return my gift to Him”
The Parish Office is open from 9AM to 5PM, M-F
“Are you jealous for my sake?” We can almost hear Moses saying this to his followers in the Book of Numbers. He is frustrated because his followers are clearly thinking about themselves and their positions and not about the Word of God which anyone can receive and proclaim. The Gospel of Mark echoes this advice: “There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me.” And we who follow Jesus as Lord must also become aware that God acts all around us and in His own way—and we are still called to be faithful.
The Book of Numbers shows the followers of Moses becoming irritated because others who were not chosen as Prophets began to prophesy in the name of God. Moses immediately realizes that it is from God but his followers are not so quick to catch on. Just as in our Church we often have ways of thinking that exclude God from acting in certain ways—and we must always struggle against that. Jesus comes to save the whole world.
The second reading today, from the Letter of St. James, invites us to follow God in all things and not strive to amass wealth or fame or possessions. Nothing will count in the end except faithfulness to the Lord God. Yet in so many ways we all try to justify ourselves. We always want something better. We always want to look good in comparison with others. We always want to be able to have enough and more than enough. None of that will bring us into the presence of God. The Prophets and all of Scripture keep telling us: take up your cross and follow me! Moses would respond to this reading again: How I wish that all would follow the Lord! How I wish that all were prophets!
The Gospel of Mark today gives us two clear teachings. The first teaching is the same as in the Book of Numbers: Never try to stop the works of God that happen around you because they don’t fit the way you think that they should happen! The second teaching is clear: whatever we do to help others is from God and whatever we do to cause others to sin will be brought before us at the time of judgment.
Today many no longer think of the final judgment and many prefer to think that there is no hell. Yet the teachings of our Church and of Jesus Himself speak of judgment and of hell. They are not the focus of the teachings of Jesus. Rather they form a backdrop. Jesus really calls us to want all people to follow Him and for all people to seek good and to struggle against sin and evil. This struggle takes place, however, in our freedom. And in our freedom we can choose against God. This Sunday let us pray that all might be prophets, that all might struggle against sin. Let us give thanks for all who do good and pray that we also may do good.
Have a blessed week!
Reverend Christopher Monturo

Join us for the opening Mass of
the 100th Anniversary year of Our Lady of Pompeii Church
Sunday, October 10th at 10:15am celebrated by
His Excellency, The Most Reverend Gerardo Colacicco
Auxiliary Bishop of New York
Upon seeing a large group of various birds and filled with awe at the sight of them, St. Francis asked the birds to stay a while and listen to the Word of God. He said to them: "My brother and sister birds, you should praise your Creator and always love Him: He gave you feathers for clothes, wings to fly and all other things that you need. It is God who made you noble among all creatures, making your home in the air. Without sowing or reaping, you receive God's guidance and protection." At this the birds spread their wings, stretched their necks and gazed at the saint, rejoicing and praising God in a wonderful way according to their nature. St. Francis gave them his blessing, making the sign of the cross over them. From that day on, St. Francis made it his habit to invoke all birds, animals, and reptiles to praise and love their Creator. In honor of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, celebrated on October 4th, we will bless your animal friends.
Please gather outside of Sacred Heart Church at Noon on Sunday, October 3rd
