. In the Company of Pope Francis “Like a sudden breaking storm, the coronavirus crisis has caught us all by surprise, abruptly changing on a global level our personal, public, family and working lives. This dramatic situation highlights the vulner- able nature of our human condition, limited as it is by time and contingency. It reminds us that we have forgotten or simply delayed attending to some of the key issues in life. It is making us evaluate what is real- ly important and necessary, and what is of secondary or only superficial importance. The crisis has shown us that, especially in times of need, we depend on our solidarity with others. In a new way, it is inviting us to place our lives at the service of others. It should make us aware of global injustice and wake us up to the cry of the poor and of our gravely diseased planet.” -- Pope Francis

FROM YOUR PASTOR For Thanksgiving Weekend 2012, my Seminary Brothers, now Father Ivan Olmo of Orlando and Father Michael Fragoso of Metuchen, and I visited Maryknoll in New York. Our purpose was to visit Father Larry Murphy who then was well into his nineties… and is now well over a 100...an Incredible Priest and with a Lifetime of Incredible Ministry! The weekend was filled with great joy as we visited with a number of the retired Maryknoll Priests at the facility that was once their Seminary and is now their Retirement Center. Their stories were filled with adventure and fulfillment. We prayed at the Tombs of the Founders, we Contemplated the Missions at the Commisioning Bell, and we looked over the Hudson Riv- er at a World in Need of Evangelization. One of the Memorable Moments of that weekend for me was to Pray at the Grave of Bishop James Walsh who was imprisoned in China from 1958 to 1970. As a Grade School student at Presentation of Our Lady in Barnum, I read HIS STORY in the Catholic Comic Book, Treasure Chest. Because we were in the Cold War at the time, had Civil Defense Drills, heard the Defense Siren tests from atop our school, and received instructions on building a Civil Defense Shelter in your Basement, HIS STORY had great relevance. That Thanksgiving Visit rekindled my interest in the great work of the Maryknoll Priests, Brothers and Sisters. I want to share with you two Pandemic Prayers by Father Joseph Venerosi, M.M. as we celebrate perhaps the most Extraordinary Thanksgiving of Our Lifetime. We pray... Let us pray... +Save us, Savior of the world! Let your mercy cover the earth +We give You thanks and praise, as sunlight fills the skies. O God of times and seasons, but especially during these difficult times when disease and death May these days of disease, have uncertainty and fear threatened the whole world with suffering. never overshadow Your call to be our brothers' and sisters' keepers. Though separated from one another You remain near to all. Keep us safe, O Lord, not only from physical illness and danger but also from spiritual sickness While uncertain as to what of hatred, envy, greed and apathy. the future may bring we find comfort in knowing Grant that this time of testing You hold all things in Your hand. teaches us to appreciate our health, our faith, our friends and family, May this be a time of purification but most of all, our life. and penance that we might Into Your most merciful hands number our days aright and we commend the souls of the dead find wisdom to walk in Your ways. and beg Your blessing on the sick. Grant that we never again take Open our hearts to Your our life, health, breath, food or freedom for granted. love and forgiveness and our eyes to Your divine image Bless us through our friends and families and may this food and in all peoples at all times. Your grace give us strength and courage to follow May we never tire of serving You. You more faithfully through Christ our Lord.

Amen. Amen. +May God Bless You and Keep You+ -Very Reverend Ronald W Cattany

St. John Vianney Theo- logical Seminary and Redemptoris Mater Archdiocesan Mission- ary Seminary offer two distinct paths to the priesthood with a shared goal of strength- ening the future of the Catholic Church.

Solemnity of Christ the King Christ my King, these are the things I’ve seen lately that brought your parable of the Last Judgment to my mind: I saw a neighborhood observe The Howl every night at 8pm for seven months. THANK YOU, healthcare workers and First Responders. On Halloween I saw the grown-ups in that same neighborhood dancing in the street to The Monster Mash as the ghosts and goblins from our zip code, traumatized by a pandemic that’s kept them away from friends and teachers, delightedly raced up every sidewalk, picking up candy and treats, waving and saying THANK YOU. At Starbucks the other day I saw a postal worker walk by, and those of us sitting outside standing and cheering for him. THANK YOU. At the grocery store I saw one of the clerks step out from behind his register and call, “Somebody please help that man. He looks like he’s in pain.” And immediately an elderly man walking on crutches, trying to navigate a cart into the checkout lane, was surrounded by staff and customers, all reaching out to make life easier for him. THANK YOU. Christ, my King, they didn’t know it, but they did each of these things for you. But this week I also saw the effects of greed and pow- er and selfishness and “me first-ness” wreak heartbreak and devastation all over the globe. We did that to you, oh Jesus. You should have said something. You should have said, “Hey! That’s me you’re humiliating, me whose work you are denigrating, me whose life you are threatening.” You should have said something, Jesus. We just didn’t see you. Where have you seen Christ in his “most distressing disguise” recently?
