Do you not yet have faith?’” ~ Mark 4:20 Do you really trust God? Is God your first choice or last resort? Is your faith something you just do on Sunday or do you live the Gospel message every day of the week? Many of us know about God. How many of us have a personal relationship with Him? Start now, open your heart to receive our Lord. Talk and listen to Him throughout the day, in all circumstances. In Our Parish Our Parish Prayers Gospel Meditation Please pray for the sick members of our Parish Gospel Meditation community who have requested our prayers .

After all, maybe Connors, Rina Conti, Jeremiah Crowley, God’s patient, unconditional love has run its course and He Connie Dziomba, Glenn Ehrhardt, Noelle is finally fed up with humanity’s reluctance to accept the Farmer, Nicholas Ferroni, Carleen Jane truth about who we are.

Because their prayers Toni Kearon, Brian Klecan, Carl Marchese, were not answered in the way they wanted or anticipated, John McAndrew, Wendy McCloughy, they felt that God may have abandoned them. Were they Maeve McKendry, Jack Matthew right? It seems that we are continuing, at a rapid rate, down McKendry, Joyce Peterson, Mona Rai, a path of destruction. Do you not care, God, that we may be Sam Scotto, Brenna Slate, Theresa perishing?

Without them, we would never learn that we have the strength to endure, Leonard Ludovico Father of Felicia Spagnuolo understand the uselessness of fear and worry, or develop Francis McManus Father of Kerri Pizzi the ability to really trust. If God immediately rushed in and simply calmed things down before they got difficult, what good would that really be? We would miss opportunities to learn how to drink more deeply of life, treasure its complexity, irony and beauty and fully engage ourselves in surrendering to the love of our Creator. It is easy to walk on the surface of life without immersing ourselves in its messiness. Life has to burn its way through us in order to bring us to a place of secure trust. It’s unfortunate that some Catholic Life Explained prefer a more shallow journey. Why do we do that? Question: What do the colors of the priest’s and deacon’s That’s the balancing act that comes with faith.

  • Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek?
    2 Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek? Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek? A Concise Compendium of the Many Internal and External Evidences of Aramaic Peshitta Primacy Publication Edition 1a, May 2008 Compiled by Raphael Christopher Lataster Edited by Ewan MacLeod Cover design by Stephen Meza © Copyright Raphael Christopher Lataster 2008 Foreword 3 Foreword A New and Powerful Tool in the Aramaic NT Primacy Movement Arises I wanted to set down a few words about my colleague and fellow Aramaicist Raphael Lataster, and his new book “Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek?” Having written two books on the subject myself, I can honestly say that there is no better free resource, both in terms of scope and level of detail, available on the Internet today. Much of the research that myself, Paul Younan and so many others have done is here, categorized conveniently by topic and issue. What Raphael though has also accomplished so expertly is to link these examples with a simple and unambiguous narrative style that leaves little doubt that the Peshitta Aramaic New Testament is in fact the original that Christians and Nazarene-Messianics have been searching for, for so long. The fact is, when Raphael decides to explore a topic, he is far from content in providing just a few examples and leaving the rest to the readers’ imagination. Instead, Raphael plumbs the depths of the Aramaic New Testament, and offers dozens of examples that speak to a particular type. Flip through the “split words” and “semi-split words” sections alone and you will see what I mean.

The dioceses of New Jersey have not done this until last year because of Covid. The obligation to attend Mass on the traditional Ascension Thursday was therefore moved to the Sunday. This year again, the bishops of New Jersey (i.e. The Province of Newark) have agreed to transfer the feast to replace the Seventh Sunday of Easter. They will decide over the next few months whether this move would continue for future years. Currently, it only applies to this year. This coming Thursday would normally be that Holy Day of Obligation. But it is not a holy day, and we will only have the regularly-scheduled Mass at 8:30 AM which will be Thursday of the 6th Week of Easter (we will not do readings or Mass formulas for Ascension). You are not obligated to attend Mass on Thursday. Remember, during Covid, you are not required to attend Mass anyway.

Sometimes in little ways we don’t even notice. Sometimes God does amazing things to take care of us too! Everyone say “God takes care of me!” In the Bible, God took care of a man named Jonah. Jonah was a prophet of God. Prophets tell God’s people messages from God. God tells prophets what to tell the people. One day, God gave Jonah a message for the wicked people of Nineveh. They would be punished if they did not stop doing bad things. Jonah didn’t want to go to Ninevah with God’s message. He got on a boat that was going far away. story continues on the next page 2 3 Lesson 1 A Whale of a Tale Jonah sailed away on the boat, but God sent a big storm. Jonah knew the storm would sink the boat if he didn’t get out of the boat. To stop the storm, the sailors threw Jonah over the side of the boat. Everyone hold your breath and try to swim! But Jonah did not drown in the waves! Jonah prayed to God. God sent a whale to swallow Jonah. Jonah stayed alive in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights. Everyone hold up three fingers! God took care of Jonah and kept him safe.

  • Mike Lambert Junias the Apostle. Really?
    Mike Lambert Junias the Apostle. Really? Junia the Apostle. Really? Mike Lambert 2013-07-12 The July 2013 issue of Ministry magazine carries the lead article, ªJunia The Apostle.º Much is made by the author of Junia being a ªfemale apostle.º This claim is based on the apostle Paul's description of Andronicus and Junia as ªmy kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before meº (Romans 16:7 KJV). The conclusion on p. 9 boldly declares, ªPaul recognized her as one of the apostles, a woman who was willing to suffer for the gospel she was busily spreading.º Receiving my July copy, seeing the cover with its title, then reading the article and evidences provided, I could only react with astonishment. One question. On what basis? Junia the apostle? Really? Theologians and historians have debated the text used in support of this claim and come to differing conclusions. To be fair, in her opening paragraph the author states that ªthrough the years, questions have been raised about her identity, occupation, and especially her gender.º Yet, she claims unequivocally in the title and the conclusion that Junia was a female apostle. OrdinationTruth.com Committed to Scripture//Subordinate to Jesus//Called to Unity page 1 Mike Lambert Junias the Apostle. Really? In proving her case, three and a half pages are spent looking at the name Junia in the Greek language, in antiquity, in early Christian references, in Greek NT manuscripts, in printed Greek New Testaments, and in modern translations.

July 30, 2017 – 8th Sunday After Pentecost | Apostles Silas, Silvanus, Crescens, Epenetus, and Andronicus of the LXX The Holy Apostles of the Seventy Silas, Silvanus, Crescens, Epenetus and Andronicus were disciples of the Savior. Saint Silas was a respected figure in the original Church at Jerusalem, one of the “chief men among the brethren” (Acts 15:22). The Council of the Apostles was convened at Jerusalem in the year 51 to deal with the question of whether Gentile Christian converts should be required to observe the Mosaic Law. The Apostles sent a message with Paul and Barnabas to the Christians of Antioch, giving the decision of the Council that Christians of Gentile origin did not have to observe the prescriptions of the Mosaic Law. Nonetheless, they were told that they must refrain from partaking of foods offered to idols, from things strangled and from blood, to refrain from fornication (Acts 15:20-29). Together with Saints Paul and Barnabas, the Council of the Apostles sent Saints Silas and Jude to explain the message in greater detail, since they both were filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit.
