Dear Parishioner,

Love your enemies. It is one of the biggest challenges humanly speaking, but it is possible with the perspective of God. Naturally the logic is to take vengeance against enemies, but to forgive is a divine act, and it is possible in the Christian view. Love and charity is the field of Christian life. We are able to forgive, if we grow in the imitation of Christ.

Love embraces the dimension of giving. Give to others our time, our apologies, ourselves. Give without expecting anything in recompense, and your reward will be in heaven. Follow the example of God, because God is kind with the ungrateful.

Love is a school. To love God, our brothers and sisters and ourselves, and to grow in maturity of love, is a process, to the point of forgiving an enemy and loving an enemy which is something that is beyond human nature. The natural men born from Adam do not understand this doctrine, in order to do so, it is necessary to be reborn in Christ.

Love is the essence of God and the first commandment. Love is the only way to conquer in the evangelization process, and is the way to heaven, very demanding to the point of the cross. Love is eternal and belongs to heaven. It is the accomplishment of this existence. If we do not love, our life is vain.

Love is the way to sanctity and the narrow way described by our Lord. Love without limits, love always, and you will see the presence of God here on earth, and in everlasting life.

St. Aloysius Parish Mission Statement

St. Aloysius Parish is a Roman Catholic community dedicated to celebrating the life and word of Jesus Christ. All are welcome to deepen their spiritual and personal lives through active participation in weekly Liturgy, the celebration of the Sacraments, Parish ministries and community activities. Acknowledging our incompleteness and our need for God’s grace, we commit ourselves, through Baptism, to responding to God’s call to become and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ in our time. Jesus Christ is at the center of all of our lives.

DO YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES A DAY? DO YOU WORRY ABOUT

OUR WORLD TODAY?

We would like to invite you to become part of the LIVING ROSARY. This activity was started at Saint Aloysius Parish a number of years ago as a means of joining our prayers together to pray for peace in our country and for all our special intentions. It is also in response to people’s needs for greater spiritual growth. At this time we have several teams of 5 members each participating in our living rosary. It is a power house of prayer!

This activity may be taken on by anyone. Families can participate, the home bound can become part of the Living Rosary; persons on their way to work can join also. There are no meetings to attend.

What is necessary to become part of the Living Rosary is a commitment to say one decade of the Rosary each day. You then become a member of a team who together says the entire rosary each day. It is said for the intentions of those members comprising the Living Rosary and for the specific and special intentions of our parish. It can be done at home, in the car, on the train, and any time of your day.

The Rosary has been used for centuries for world peace, against the heresy of the times, during the Nazi occupation of Poland and at many other times. This is a simple devotion, parish oriented, that demands little of its members and produces great spiritual results.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the LIVING ROSARY. Please complete below and drop at rectory or call Dee Taylor at 973-226-0209 x 32. We will then contact you to coordinate the groups and mysteries of the Rosary.

I am interested in becoming a member of the Living Rosary:
