HOLY CHILD PARISH, RUNNEMEDE, NJ GLORIA Glory to God in the highest, and peace to His people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King, Almighty God and Father, we worship You, we give You thanks, we praise You for Your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, You take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; You are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer. For You alone are the Holy One, You alone are the Lord, You alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of the Father. Amen. NICENE CREED I believe in one God, the Father the almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father: through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven. (All bow at the following words up to: and became man) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen. AUGUST 16, 2020 Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Reading 1 IS 56:1, 6-7 Thus says the LORD: Observe what is right, do what is just; for my salvation is about to come, my justice, about to be revealed. The foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, ministering to him, loving the name of the LORD, and becoming his servants—all who keep the sabbath free from profanation and hold to my covenant, them I will bring to my holy mountain and make joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be acceptable on my altar, for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. Responsorial Psalm PS 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8 R. (4) O God, let all the nations praise you! May God have pity on us and bless us; may he let his face shine upon us. So may your way be known upon earth; among all nations, your salvation. R. O God, let all the nations praise you! May the nations be glad and exult because you rule the peoples in equity; the na- tions on the earth you guide. R. O God, let all the nations praise you! May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you! May God bless us and may all the ends of the earth fear him! R. O God, let all the nations praise you! Reading 2 ROM 11:13-15, 29-32 Brothers and sisters: I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I glory in my ministry in order to make my race jealous and thus save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. Just as you once disobeyed God but have now received mercy be- cause of their disobedience, so they have now disobeyed in order that, by virtue of the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. For God delivered all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all. Alleluia MT 4:23 R. Alleluia, alleluia. Jesus proclaimed the Gospel of the kingdom and cured every disease among the people. R. Alleluia, alleluia. HOLY CHILD PARISH, RUNNEMEDE, NJ Gospel MT 15:21-28 At that time, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Ca- naanite woman of that district came and called out, “Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.” But Jesus did not say a word in answer to her. Jesus’ disciples came and asked him, “Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us.” He said in reply, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But the woman came and did Jesus homage, saying, “Lord, help me.” He said in reply, “It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters.” Then Jesus said to her in reply, “O wom- an, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And the woman’s daughter was healed from that hour. Spiritual Communion Prayer I believe 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 were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

  • Saint Maria Goretti
    Saint Maria Goretti Painting: “Saint Maria Goretti” Located in the Shrine Church Artist: Noah Buchanan [Permission granted to post article by Father Jacques Marie © Clairval Abbey] This past July 6th [year 2002] was the centenary of the passing away of Maria Goretti, whom Pope Pius XII at her canonization on June 26, 1950, called «the Agnes of the twentieth century.» God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God (1 Cor 1: 27-29). During a pilgrimage to the place of the martyrdom of the young saint, on September 29, 1991, Pope John Paul II remarked: «God chose, He glorified a simple young girl from the country, of modest origins. He glorified her with the power of His Spirit… Dearest brothers and sisters! Consider Maria Goretti… She has become a joy for the Church and a source of hope for us.» Maria was born on October 16, 1890, in Corinaldo, in the Ancone province of Italy, into a family poor in earthly goods, but rich in faith and virtues. Every day they had common prayer and the Rosary; on Sundays, Mass and Holy Communion. Maria was the third of seven children of Luigi Goretti and Assunta Carlini. On the day after her birth, she was baptized and consecrated to the Virgin Mary. She received the sacrament of Confirmation at the age of six.

  • St. Maria Goretti Feast: July 6
    St. Maria Goretti Feast: July 6 Born on October 16, 1890 in Corinaldo, in the Ancona Province in Italy, her farmworker father moved his family to Ferrier di Conca, near Anzio. When he died of malaria, Maria's mother had to struggle to feed her children. Maria's mother, brothers, and sisters worked in the fields while she cooked, sewed, kept the house clean, and watched her youngest sister Teresa. Though the family's circumstances were extremely difficult, they were very close and loved God. On July 5, 1902, Maria was sitting outside the steps of her home sewing her 18- year-old brother or neighbor -it is unclear which - Alessandro's shirt while he threshed beans in the barnyard. As she concentrated on her sewing, Alessandro surprised her and grabbed her from her steps. When he tried to rape her, Maria cried that it was a mortal sin and warned he would go to hell. When Alessandro persisted, she fought him and screamed, "No! It is a sin! God does not want it!" At her words, Alessandro began to choke her and she said she would rather die than submit. Upon hearing her words, Alexander pulled out a knife and stabbed her eleven times. When she attempted to reach the door, he stabbed her three more times then fled. Teresa woke to the sounds of her sister's cries and began to cry. Maria's family returned home and found her bleeding on the floor. They quickly took her to the nearest hospital in Nettuno, where she underwent surgery without anesthesia.

    Tél : (+33) 02 43 30 45 67 Etoile notre dame Fax : (+33) 02 43 30 45 68 339 impasse de la Fosse ­ BP 60434 Email : [email protected] 53104 Mayenne cédex Email : [email protected] Lundi au vendredi : journées continues 8h à 18h Internet : www.etoilenotredame.org Neuvaine aux Martyres de la Pureté La neuvaine aux Martyres de la Pureté peut se prier à n'importe quel moment de l'année Introduction Martyre de la pureté est un terme parfois employé par l’Eglise catholique, pour désigner les vierges martyres. En général, il s'applique aux saintes et bienheureuses préférant rester fidèle à leur foi que céder à la concupiscence de leur bourreau. Elles sont souvent mortes très jeunes. Le terme est employé dès les premiers siècles chrétiens, comme idéal féminin de vie évangélique, en corrélation avec le renoncement monastique à la vie, dans le monde. Pour la foi catholique, il y a martyre (ce qui veut dire « témoin » en grec) en cas de mort violente, si celle­ci est une volonté de témoignage du Christ et de l'Evangile. Le martyre de la pureté est considéré comme tel car : « le corps n’est pas une marchandise, c’est le Temple de l’Esprit. » Celui qui fait violence au corps d’un être « s’attaque à sa personne même », à son intériorité même. La neuvaine aux martyres de la pureté, que vous propose Etoile Notre Dame, nous fera découvrir plusieurs femmes, souvent jeunes, qui préférèrent mourir plutôt que de renoncer à leur virginité, qu’elles avaient offerte à Jésus. Nous demanderons leur intercession pour tous les jeunes d’aujourd’hui qui ont perdu le sens de la valeur de la virginité.

  • Blessed Pierina Morosini
    Lives of Saints 1931 - 1957 Feastday: 6th April I was born in Fiobbio di Albino, Italy, in 1931. I was the eldest of eight children, and my family was poor. As a young girl, I was trained as a seamstress, and at the age of 15, I started to work in a textile factory. At the same time, I did what I could in the Parish. I helped with the Mass everyday and was active in the Female Youth Section of ‘Catholic Action’. In 1947, I participated in a pilgrimage to Rome for the beatification of Maria Goretti. I greatly admired Maria Goretti and I tried to imitate her in many ways. Like her, I lived the virtues in a simple way, and on a daily basis, at home and at work. Like her, I lived the same life of hard poverty and tried to show the same strength in bearing sacrifices. Like her I deplored sin. I lived a humble life, led by a profound faith in God and the Virgin Mary, I trusted in the teachings of the Church and I zealously worked for the Seminary where priests train, and for the missions. I did what I could, served as a catechist, helped the sick and I supported Catholic associations. I “May I never allow made a private vow of chastity to God, and considered myself even the religious life, but continued to live at home to help my smallest mother take care of the remaining children, since my father was unable to work. People got to know about my compromise with spiritual progress after my death, because I always kept a sin, whether in book in which I wrote down my resolutions and my dress, speech, inspirations.
