Why Director of Facilities and Maintenance can we not fulfill these commands? Why do we find ourselves so [email protected] incapable of such a simple commandment? When we are honest with Ken Danchik ourselves, we admit that there is something broken in our humanity. Associate Organist Our Catholic Tradition calls this “original sin” and because of our [email protected] sinfulness, the Father sends His Son to save us in the power of the Holy Beverly Farinelli Spirit. Wedding Coordinator [email protected] The first reading today is from the Book of Exodus. This particular passage speaks to us of the mercy and compassion that God has for Don Fellows Director of Music and Organist the orphans, the widows and the poor. God tells us that we must be [email protected] like Him and also have mercy and compassion in a special way for the Erica Gamerro orphans, the widows and the poor. This is a requisite of those who Part-time Pastoral Associate belong to the “covenant.” Today many of us Christians forget that we [email protected] belong to the “new covenant” with Jesus Christ. We inherit the promises Eileen Lancos of the Old Covenant and have the gifts of the New Covenant. It is our Sacristan baptism into Christ that makes us members of this Covenant. It is Jean Malek important for us Christians to remember that in this New Covenant we Parish Secretary have the promise and commitment of God Himself for our salvation [email protected] and for our well-being. Christina McCann The second reading is from the First Letter to the Thessalonians. In this Wedding Coordinator passage of this Letter, Saint Paul reminds us that we must always give [email protected] example of how to live our Christian faith. When we live with joy and Mike Pittek gladness, the New Covenant, others are drawn to come to know the Office Manager Lord. Most of us know at least one or two people that we would [email protected] consider models for living a Christian life. We ourselves need to Terri Taormina Director of Religious Education become models of how to live. We do that by striving to live as Christ [email protected] lived, striving to be faithful to our Covenant with Him and by each day Ted Wojcik renouncing all that is against the Lord. Sacristan Today’s Gospel from Saint Matthew is very short but also very clear. Greg Zigray What is the greatest commandment? To love God and to love one Business Manager another. This message of the Lord Jesus is very clear: to live is to strive [email protected] to love! If we want to be faithful to the God who created us, then we must love all others. We know that in the tradition, it is easy to love those who love us. Jesus calls us to love everyone and that proof of that QUOTES OF THE WEEK love is the special love that we must have for our enemies and those who try to destroy us. “The Rosary is a powerful weapon We are invited today to live more profoundly the love given to us in to put the demons to flight and to Christ Jesus. As God’s children and disciples of Jesus, we must show keep oneself from sin… If you that love for all people and especially for those who are our enemies in desire peace in your hearts, in any way. The promise for us, the Covenant, is that we shall possess your homes, and in your country, everlasting life and be with the Lord forever. assemble each evening to recite the Rosary. Let not even one day pass without saying it, no matter FROM THE HEART OF OUR PASTOR, FATHER STUBNA how burdened you may be with Some years ago, our then Bishop of Pittsburgh, Bishop Donald Wuerl, many cares and labors.” wrote a pastoral letter entitled, Speaking the Truth in Love: Christian ~ Pope Saint Pius XI Discourse within the Church. Sadly, it was written out of necessity to address the manner in which some of the faithful were responding to “Remember this: Whoever sows the decisions and changes that were being made for the good of the sparingly will also reap sparingly, Church as part of the parish reorganization. We were reminded in that and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” pastoral letter that as members of the Church we share one faith, one ~ Saint Paul 3 OCTOBER 25, 2020 | 114TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEDICATION OF ST.
