  • Twenty Or So Years Ago, I Had the Great Privilege of Being at a Mass in St Peter’S Rome Celebrated by Pope St John Paul II
    Twenty or so years ago, I had the great privilege of being at a mass in St Peter’s Rome celebrated by Pope St John Paul II. Also present on that occasion was the Protestant Brother Roger Schutz, the founder and then prior of the ecumenical monastic community of Taizé. Both now well on in years and ailing in different ways, Pope John Paul and Brother Roger had a well known friendship and it was touching to see the Pope personally give communion to his Protestant friend. This year, the Common Worship feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, known by most Christians as her Assumption, the Dormition or the Falling Asleep, is also the eve of the fifteenth anniversary of Roger’s horrific, and equally public, murder in his own monastic church, within six months of the death of John Paul himself. I want to suggest three themes that were characteristic both of Mary and Brother Roger and also offer us a sure pathway for our own discipleship: joy, simplicity and mercy. I was led to these by an interview on TV many years ago with Br Alois, Brother Roger’s successor as prior of Taizé, who described how they were at the heart of Brother Roger’s approach to life and guidance of his community. He had written them into the Rule of Taizé, and saw them as a kind of summary of the Beatitudes: [3] "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [4] "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

  • A Taizé Meditative Service
    A Taizé Meditative Service Taizé prayer is the creation of a monastic community in Taizé, France, founded in the 1940s by a Swiss man known as Brother Roger. The brothers there are celibates who emphasize service and ecumenicalism, particularly reconciliation between divided peoples and divided Christians. Taizé was founded in 1940 by Roger Louis Schutz-Marsauche (known as 'Brother Roger'). The 90-year-old monk died in August 2005 after being stabbed during a prayer service. Prayer, silence, and ecumenism are at the heart of the Taizé experience. Young people from every corner of the globe are encouraged to live out the Christian gospel in a spirit of joy, simplicity and reconciliation. For more information about the Taizé Community as well as additional music and prayer guidance, please visit www.Taize.fr. How to get started As we begin, it is important to calm oneself from the outside world, to open yourself to the Holy Spirit and to the presence of Christ. Turn off outside distractions and allow yourself to be fully present to prayer and meditation. We will begin with a couple of songs, followed by a Psalm. Deacon Mike will then read a passage from the Bible, after which there will be a short reflection followed by several minutes of silence, during which imagery from St. Mary’s will be shown on the screen. Following the silence we will sing another meditative song followed by a sung prayer for intercessions. We will conclude with an Our Father, a closing prayer and a couple of closing songs. Introduction Psalm: Psalm 88; “Forever will I sing the mercy of the Lord.” 1.

  • “And Stephen Was Heard…” Father Joe Mancini
    “And Stephen Was Heard…” A Quarterly Newsletter Fall, 2020 Volume 1, Issue 1 of Saint Stephen’s Roman Catholic Church in Kearny, New Jersey FROM OUR PASTOR... My dear parishioners and friends of Saint Stephen’s parish, In the fall of 2013, our parish newsletter, “And Stephen Was Heard” was initiated as a part of Pope Benedict XVI’s call for Catholics to enter into a “New Evangelization”. The Pope was calling on all baptized Catholics to commit themselves to a better and more disciplined approach to speaking about and teaching the Catholic Faith. For different reasons, our newsletter lasted only a few issues. That doesn’t mean it was a failure, however. Other resources and other concerns began to demand more of our staff’s time and en- ergy. INSIDE THIS ISSUE Now, we are pleased to bring back the parish newsletter with two The Church Re-Opens! ...... 2 goals in mind: firstly, to resume the call-to-arms of Pope Bene- Parish Census Update ........ 2 dict of participating in the New Evangelization.

  • 11-24 the Vietnamese Martyrs
    “You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved” (Mt 10:22). Between the 17th and 19th centuries in Vietnam 130,000 Christians were martyred. Today we honor 117 of those martyrs including Saint Andrew Dung-Lac and his companion martyrs. There were 37 Vietnamese priests, one seminarian, 10 Dominican tertiaries, and 48 other lay Vietnamese. In addition to the many sons and daughters of Vietnam, there were missionary priests and bishops from Spain and France. Whether we are speaking of Vietnam or the United Sates, there is always a dark tendency to be suspicious of foreigners, to push them away, to treat them as less than human. In 1832, the Vietnamese Emperor banned all foreign missionaries. The Vietnamese were asked to deny their faith by trampling crucifixes. The faithful endured one wave of persecution after another. Andrew Dung-Lac came from poverty. His parents were not Christian, and yet they saw truth, beauty and goodness in the Christian missionaries and entrusted their child to a catechist who helped to form him into strong Christian. He became a priest in 1823 and served as parish priest and missionary in numerous places within Vietnam. Here in America, we take a collection to provide for the needs of the church. On more than one occasion, the faithful took up a collection to pay ransom for their priest to keep him out of prison. Fr Andrew was not entirely grateful. He was willing to die for his faith and stated, “We who continually hide ourselves spend money to escape the persecutors! It would be much better to let ourselves be arrested and die.” December 21, 1839, he was granted his wish.
