10th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

HOPE AND LIFE

Today's readings tell the story of two widows. The first reading relates the plight of the widow with whom the prophet Elijah stayed; the Gospel tells about the widow of Nain. In each story, the widow's only son had died. For people who l i ved in those cultures, the son was the only support of a widow, and the carrying on of the family name by the son was equal to immortality. A widow whose only son has died could lose all hope.

Elijah and Jesus are the restorers of hope; they bring the sons back to life. Saint Paul was metaphorically raised from the dead when he experienced the conversion and call from God that he describes in today's second reading.

What are Christians called to do today? We may not be able to raise the dead, but perhaps we can rekindle hope for a single parent. We may not be able to convert a persecutor like Paul, but if we speak the gospel openly and gently with our lives, we might touch a life with the Good News. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Unless Professor Einstein's theory of relativity can be translated into any useful kind of time-travel, most of our clues about life in the early church will have to come from ancient letters and ancient prayer texts. A prayer text from a dusty library may yield, for example, an understanding of what "presbyters" actually did. We have such a prayer from the early third century from the hand of Hippolytus of Rome. While our modern prayers derive a great deal from his, some of the practices of the ancient church have fallen away. In his day, bishops were chosen by the people, and the other bishops merely consented. Presbyters, by contrast, seem to have been chosen by the bishops. This makes sense, since it allowed the bishops to hand-pick their most trusted advisers. It seems that bishops were at first reluctant to share their presiding at the Eucharist with presbyters. In fact, by the time of the fourth-century church's growth spurt in Rome, the bishop sent deacons out with fragments of the host from his Eucharist to drop into the chalices of the presbyters at the outlying eucharistic celebrations. We still have a vestige of this fermentum in the Mass today, a reminder of the early bishops' desire to give a powerful sign of the unity of all celebrations of the Eucharist with their ministry, and a clue to their reluctance to delegate a sacramental ministry to the presbyters. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Vocationist Corner

I want to concentrate myself completely in the Divine Present, so that I may do

everything with the greatest possible perfection of nature and grace,

in the most faithful imitation and intimate union with You,

O my God and my All!

The past is never divine, because there is not past in You;

The future is never divine, because there is no future in You.

Only the present is divine, because it is always true, “I am Who I am.”

O my God and my All …

Blessed Fr. Justin Russolillo, SDV, Spirit of Prayer, page 99

SHARING GOD’S BLESSINGS

Archdiocese of Newark ANNUAL APPEAL

This weekend we start the 2016 Sharing God’s Blessings Annual Appeal. There will be brochures that describe the many ministries the appeal makes possible

along with pledge cards and envelopes in the pews. You may make a pledge by completing the pledge en-velope and placing it in the collection basket. Our parish goal this year is $13,136.00. Please be as generous as possible. We appreciate your support.

Only you can decide what gift is right for you in light of your circumstances and in light of the blessings God has given you. The ideal way to give is to select a gift that you can manage on a monthly basis rather than

a one-time gift. Pledging a monthly gift enables you to give

more generously in balance with other important economic responsibilities.

LEGION OF MARY Are you a shut-in?

Unable to come to church?

Allow the Legion of Mary to visit you. We would like to pray the rosary with you and

offer holy communion. If there is someone you know or you yourself would like such a visit, please call the rectory office and someone from the Legion of Mary

will contact you.

ATTENTION PARENTS: The Altar Server Association of St. Nicholas will soon start preparing boys and girls to serve in the masses of our parish as “ALTAR SERVERS” If your child wants to be part of this group please contact Fr.

Stephen on Sunday after Masses. For children of any age who have already received First Communion.
