Prayer & Worship

The Novena to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal

Join us every Saturday morning at the 8:00 am Mass as we pray this traditional Novena to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Catherine Labure

in 1830 and requested the creation of the medal which came to be known as the Miraculous medal.

Our Mother of Perpetual Help Wednesday’s at 9:00 am

Come join us every Wednesday after the 8:00 am Mass as we pray

the Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help.

All are welcome!

Join us for the Novena to St. Michael

Beginning on September 19th at the 8:00 am Mass

for 9 days until the Feast Day of the Archangels

St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael on September 29th

St. Michael (“Who is like God?”) is the archangel who fought Satan. He is the pro-tector of all humanity and reminds us of the real existence of the devil and of demonic activity. For protection from the snares of the devil, it is good to have recourse to St. Michael. St. Gabriel (“Strength of God”) announced to Zechariah the birth of John the Baptist; and to Mary, the birth of Jesus. His greeting to the Virgin, “Hail, full of grace,” is one

of the most familiar and frequent prayers of the Church. St. Raphael (“Medicine of God”) is the archangel who took care of Tobias on his journey. Every person on his or her pilgrimage through this life also has a guardian angel with a mission similar to that of Raphael. This feast is sometimes called “Michaelmas.”

Holy Hour to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Thursday, October 1st at 7:00 pm

The prayers and dedication to the Sacred Heart is an ancient tradition that Catholics observe once a month before First

Friday. We will be offering these prayers and reparation the protection of our country and our leaders.

There will be Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Benediction, Rosary, Litany to the Sacred Heart and music. Come pray for our country!!

Prayer of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire

to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You have already come,

and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated

from You. Amen.

Prayer & Worship

Eucharistic Adoration will be in the New Adoration Chapel .

Adoration will be from 9:00 am to 11:00 pm Monday thru Friday and on Saturday from

9:00 am to 3:00 pm. There is no Adoration on Sunday.

Please note: Praying in large groups, however, should be avoided. In all situations, participants should be encouraged to observe social distancing practices, recommending 6 feet of space between participants. Due to State and Diocesan guidelines, Face Masks are required.

Eucharistic Adoration:

Our Feelings and Reality Adoration can be compared to sun-bathing-we sit, receive, and are changed by simply being in God’s presence. But what if you are distracted and don’t feel like the Lord is doing anything for you? This experience of prayer could be compared to spending an overcast day at the beach. It may not seem like you are getting any sun, but if you leave off your sun-screen, you will soon feel how wrong you have been. God’s ‘rays’, just like those of the sun, still ‘touch’ us, even if we cannot perceive them. Our feelings are not always in conformity with reality. Even if we experience distraction and restlessness-God is still at work.

Adoration Takes Place:

From 9:00 am until 11:00 pm, Monday through Friday; Saturday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm

We are in Need of Committed Adorers Monday at 11:00 am & 12:00 pm, Tuesday at 12:00 pm & Thursday at 1:00 pm, Friday at 11:00 am.

Stewardship Corner

“You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel…” (Ezekiel 33:7) Many of us are generous with our gifts. However, many of us are not generous in proportion to the gifts we have been given. How often do we give at the minimum level required? Remember, the Lord calls us to nurture and develop our gifts. He calls us to be generous with all the gifts He has given us, especially the one that means the most to us.

Evidence Shows Mass is Safe When Guidelines are Followed, Doctors Say…

(Article form the Catholic News Agency ) CNA Staff, Aug 25, 2020 / 02:52 am MT (CNA).- Evidence suggests that church services following public health guidelines do not present a greater risk of spreading the novel coronavirus than other similar activities, doctors said last week. Washing hands, social distancing, and mask requirements have helped prevent the spread of COVID-19, even in cases when contagious, pre-symptomatic parishioners took part in church events, three members of the Thomistic Institute Working Group on Infectious Disease Protocols for Sacraments & Pastoral Care concluded. Doctors Thomas McGovern, Deacon Timothy Flanigan, and Paul Cieslak authored an article for Real Clear Science on Mass attendance and COVID-19 Aug. 19. “For Catholic churches following [the] guidelines, no outbreaks of COVID-19 have been linked to church attendance, even though we have examples ... of asymptomatic, unknowingly infected individuals attending mass and other parish functions,” they wrote. “Their attendance could have led to an outbreak if appropriate precautions were not followed, yet in each case, we found no evidence of viral transmission.” “This encouraging news should inspire confidence that the guidelines in place - based on CDC recommendations - are work-ing to decrease COVID-19 transmission,” the doctors continued. “While nothing during a pandemic is risk-free, these guide-lines mean that Catholics (and public officials) may be confident that it’s reasonably safe to come to Church for Mass and the sacraments.” Over the last 14 weeks, they said, approximately 17,000 parishes have held three or more Masses each weekend, as well as daily services, combining to equal more than 1 million public Masses celebrated across the United States since shelter-in-place orders were lifted. By following public health guidelines, these Masses have largely avoided viral spread, the authors suggested. Nick Schoen, an employee of the Archdiocese of Seattle, has initiated a contact-tracing protocol for Mass-goers in the area. Tracking individu-als who have participated in church events shortly before testing positive for COVID-19, he found that none of these indi-viduals launched outbreaks at churches. The authors pointed to at least four examples of infected individuals attending Mass while pre-symptomatic, as well as three anointings of sick individuals by priests in poorly-ventilated rooms. In each case, they said, the sick individuals avoided in-fecting other people. “During a July 3 funeral mass (45 attendees, capacity 885), two members of one household notified the parish that they had tested positive for COVID-19 and were infected and pre-symptomatic during the mass,” they said. “During a July 11 wedding (200 attendees, capacity 908), fresh air circulated from multiple open windows with the aid of fans. The following day, an attendee developed symptoms of COVID and on July 13 tested positive. The attendee was al-most certainly contagious with pre-symptomatic infection during the wedding.” In April, the Thomistic Institute’s Working Group on Infectious Disease Protocols for Sacraments & Pastoral Care released guidelines for reopening churches for Mass and other sacraments. These guidelines were incorporated by numerous dioceses into their protocols for reopening. The guidelines were built on a multi-phase proposal for resumption and expansion of public Masses while remaining in con-formity with public health guidelines in force in different places. In “Phase 1” of the proposal, the institute encouraged the “Sunday obligation” to be dispensed, the elderly and those at high risk of COVID-19 to stay home, and those with symptoms to stay home from Mass. The institute also promoted social dis-tancing, masks requirements, and the regular use of hand sanitizer. The few churches that have reported a COVID-19 outbreak did not follow these regulations and in some cases engaged in discouraged actions such as congregational singing. In some cases, these isolated incidents have led local government offi-cials to restrict church services more than activities in restaurants, movie theaters, and casinos. This has prompted lawsuits alleging religious discrimination, which have often been successful. The doctors said in their article that there is no evidence that church services are higher risk than similar activities when guidelines are followed. “To date, the evidence does not suggest that Church attendance - following the current guidelines - is any more risky than shopping for groceries. And the spiritual good for believers in coming to Church is immeasurably im-portant for their well-being,” they said. “Indeed, for Catholics, the Mass and above all the Eucharist are central to the Chris-tian life. In a time like this, it is even more important that the faithful be able to come to Church and receive Holy Commun-ion.”

Craft PAPER PRAYER

CHAIN

We call God to us when we gather in prayer, two or three or more! Most churches have a “prayer chain”. Not a real chain, but a group of people who link up and pray together. Make a personal prayer chain. Write your thanks, needs, forgiveness or requests to God, one on each link or strip of paper. A ach the links together to form a chain. Have other family members add their own links! Hang it in your home and during family prayer me, as two or three are gathered in Jesus’ name, He will hear your prayer. If it is His will, it will be done.

D I R E C T I O N S Step One Cut the construc on paper lengthwise into strips that are about an inch wide. They can be of pre y much any length, keeping in mind that the longer the strip, the bigger each link in the chain. Write your requests to God on each link.

Step Two Bend the first strip around to form a circle or loop.

Step Three Seal the open ends of the circle link with glue, tape or a stapler so that it stays connected on its own.

Step Four Take another strip and thread it through the first loop forming a second, connected circle.

Step Five Seal the second circle with glue, tape or a stapler so that you have two linked circles.

Step Six Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to make the chain as long as you like.

CARES Act

Did you know the CARES Act can help our local Church? By providing key tax incentives for donors to non-profit organizations,

the new legislation may encourage you to consider a financial gift to your parish, the Diocese of Metuchen or one of its entities.

• What is the CARES Act?

On Friday, March 27, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. This is a $2 trillion economic stimulus package leg-islated to provide immediate relief for nonprofits, businesses, individuals and state and local

governments.

• How does the CARES Act benefit donors to nonprofit organizations? The CARES Act incentivizes charitable giving from individuals and corporations by increasing

tax deductions for charitable donations.

• What are individual donor benefits? All taxpayers (both those who itemize and those who use standard deduction) can deduct up to

$300 of total charitable contributions in 2020. Prior to the CARES Act, those who use standard deduction could not deduct any charitable giving.

• What are the additional benefits for those who itemize their taxes?

The law lifts the existing cap on annual contributions for those who itemize their taxes, signifi-cantly raising it from 60% of adjusted gross income to 100% of adjusted gross income.

• What are charitable giving incentives for corporations?

The CARES Act raises the annual limit of charitable giving that corporations can deduct from 10% of taxable income to 25% of taxable income. Food donations from corporations are raised from 15% of taxable income to 25% of taxable income.

Liturgia de la Palabra Primera Lectura: Ezequiel 33:7-9 Dios ha designado al profeta como el guarda de su gente. Si falla en advertirlos contra el pecado, será hecho responsable. Segunda Lectura: Romanos 13:8-10 En esta bella carta, Pablo dice que todos los mandamientos se contienen en este: “Ama a tu prójimo como a tí mismo.” Evangelio: San Mateo 18:15-20 Jesús explica a sus discípulos cómo responderle a aquellos que les hacen daño: con gentileza y sabiduría práctica. Les promete que cuando “donde dos o tres se reúnen en mi nombre, allí estoy yo en medio de ellos.”
