Our mission is to be warm and welcoming community acknowledging our unique gifts from God and being ready to share them so that we continue to grow in ministry, we strive to embrace those who have left our family of faith, care for our brothers and sisters in need, promote respect,

peace, and justice for all people and strengthen unity within our parish community within diversity. Through the celebration

of the Sacraments, Prayer, and Action, we seek to grow in transforming love of Jesus Christ and his Church.

REFLECTIONN

THE HEART IS STEADY For the deeply prayerful person and those intent by the power of God to attain holiness, the ever-persistent problem seems to be fighting distractions in prayer. Distraction is exactly what the Creator has allowed for most of us. It is precisely what makes us human. The fact that our minds drift away so easily from the intended object of our thought and our heart demonstrates our humanity. St. Therese of Lisieux, known as the “Little Flow-er,” handled distraction this way: Any person or problem that becAme her distraction at prayer was immediately lifted up in her prayer before God. In this way, she quickly supernaturalized a natural hap-pening. It is a wonderful lifelong intention to make. When we come to prayer there are two parts of us that we should understand. One is the mind, which is naturally inclined to distraction and the other is the heart, which remains steadfast in its loving attitude. Oftentimes people get terribly disturbed about these distractions. What we must understand, however, is that distraction is a marvelous opportunity to show the Lord Jesus that we love him by disciplining our thoughts to focus on Him alone. Let us take, for example, the man who calls the rectory to go to confession on a hot summer day. He drives a half hour in stifling heat. He arrives at the rectory and kneels on both knees, hands folded with head bowed, tears gently falling from his eyes, at the end of which I ask, “Are you truly sorry for your sins?” He answers humbly, “I don’t think I really am enough.” Well, the answer is that anyone who would do what he did after much time and sacrifice, and is in such a physical posture of reverence, humility, and sincerity, is unquestionably sorry. – In the same way the person who is in a physical posture of prayer is already demonstrating the attitude of his heart. The mind may wander, but the heart remains steadfast. Thus, we should not get so depressed over distrac-tions, because God looks at the steadfastness of our heart and its intent to keep Him first. The road to sanctity is not level. It is a mountain and it is all uphill. May I share some of my personal distractions with you while attempting devoutly to say the rosary? “Hail Mary, full of grace . . . I wonder if I’m going to have that wonderful Italian toast for breakfast?” “The Lord is with you . . . I must not for

get that funeral Mass at 9:30. It will take up my whole morning. No wonder I never get anything done.” “Blessed are you among women . . . You might think that the great love of God would draw more people to the weekday Masses. What do people think about anyway?” “Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus” . . . Did I return my book to the li-brary?” “Holy Mary, Mother of God . . . I’ve got to get my car inspected. Would you please keep your mind on your prayers!?” Thank God, even though my mind is not steady, my heart is. I think many people do not pray because they say, “Oh well, with my continuous distractions my prayer cannot be worth anything.” But it is worth much! So, what should we do about distraction at prayer? Just always remember that something remains perma-nent – the heart. Our determination, therefore, must be “Don’t lose heart!”

Reading I: Ezekiel 18: 25-28 In a question and answer format, the author deals both with people who repent of their evil, and those who turn to it. He provides his responses to both.

Reading II: Philippians 2: 1-11, or 2: 1-5 The scholars tell us this beautiful passage Paul quotes is actually from an early Church hymn. The first part sings of the Lord’s abasement; the second of His earned exaltation.

The Gospel: Matthew 21: 28-32 This parable continues earlier stories in Matthew about the people who actually are part of God’s kingdom. Jesus tells the religious leaders in his audience that “tax collectors and prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.” The folks who look the least religious will enter God’s kingdom ahead of religious leaders, because in the end they do God’s will.

Religious Education/CCD

With the advent of the Covid-19 virus, in person CCD classes are not deemed safe or wise. Therefore, our regular CCD classes have been moved to the internet and are now virtual. Textbooks for grades one(1) through six(6) are available in the rectory for those who have made CCD tuition pay-ments. It is still necessary for students to be registered for classes. Should you have any questions – feel free to contact Bill at 201-796-3521 ex204 or at wschulenburg@stleosep.org.

The three Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael are the only angels named in Sacred Scripture and all three have important roles in the history of salvation. Saint Michael is the "Prince of the Heavenly Host," the leader of all the angels. His name is Hebrew for "Who is like God?" and was the battle cry of the good angels against Lucifer and his followers when they rebelled against God. He is mentioned four times in the Bible, in Daniel 10 and 12, in the letter of Jude, and in Reve-lation. Michael, whose forces cast down Lucifer and the evil spirits into Hell, is invoked for protection against Satan and all evil. Pope Leo XIII, in 1899, having had a pro-phetic vision of the evil that would be inflicted upon the Church and the world in the 20th century, institut-ed a prayer asking for Saint Michael's protection to be said at the end of every Mass. Christian tradition recognizes four offices of Saint Mi-chael: (i) to fight against Satan (ii) to rescue the souls of the faithful from the power of the enemy, especially at the hour of death. (iii) to be the champion of God's people, (iv) to call away from earth and bring men's souls to judgment. "I am Gabriel, who stand before God." (Luke 1, 19) Saint Gabriel, whose name means "God's strength," is mentioned four times in the Bible. Most significant are Gabriel's two mentions in the New Testament: to an-nounce the birth of John the Baptist to his father Zach-arias, and the at Incarnation of the Word in the womb of Mary. Christian tradition suggests that it is he who appeared to St. Joseph and to the shepherds, and also that it was he who "strengthened" Jesus during his agony in the garden of Gethsemane. "I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord" (Tob 12:15) Saint Raphael, whose name means "God has healed" because of his healing of Tobias' blindness in the Book of Tobit. Tobit is the only book in which he is men-tioned. His office is generally accepted by tradition to be that of healing and acts of mercy. Raphael is also identified with the angel in John 5:1-4 who descended upon the pond and bestowed healing powers upon it so that the first to enter it after it moved would be healed of whatever infirmity he was suffering.
