Let us pray- That those called to be spiritual shepherds may never shrink from their duty to proclaim the sacredness of all human life.

 

 

 

At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest."  Matthew 9:36-38

 

Jesus’ heart was moved with pity at the sight of the crowds who he saw as “sheep without a shepherd.”  He then admonished his disciples to “Beg the harvest master to send out laborers to gather his harvest.”  It was then that he summoned his twelve disciples and sent them forth.  Little has changed in the 2000 years since.  We still need shepherds and we too are the ones called, as were the Twelve, to go forth and bear witness to the reign of God.  Perhaps the Lord is calling you to do so as a priest, deacon, brother or sister.  Contact Father Robert Medley at the Vocations Office 732-562-1990 or e-mail Vocations@diometuchen.org.  Or visit our website at www.diometuchen.org/vocations

Holy Name Society

Congratulations to Father Dan and Father John on the anniversary of their Priesthood. The Catholic Community of Our Lady of Mercy Church has been twice blessed with these fine priests. We pray that their service in Our Lord will last for many years.  Our thanks to the Rosary-Altar Society for initiating the reception and all those other fine people that helped to make it a very nice time. Thank you all for your kind support and help.  

Our Annual Retreat to San Alfonso the weekend of August 16 - 18, 2002 is a must for all the men of our parish. Come and join us. The cost is $130.00 for some of the best food, good companionship, excellent information on our Catholic faith, and a chance to get away from it all. We have met men that have been going to San Alfonso for over 30 years. So give Bob a call at 732 356 3975 and make your reservation now.

 

As the summer draws near and many of us start to carry out our plans for vacation remember that our church is still here. Don't make it a "out of sight out of mind" judgment. Your generosity is still needed and the cost of operating our church does not take a vacation, so please do not forget your church.

Blessed be HIS Holy Name

SENILITY PRAYER God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Now that I'm "older" (but refuse to grow up), here's what I've discovered:

1) I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

2) My wild oats have turned into prunes and All Bran.

3) I finally got my head together; now my body is falling apart.

4) Funny, I don't remember being absent minded...

5) Funny, I don't remember being absent minded...

6) What were we talking about?

7) It's easier to get older than it is to get wiser.

8) Some days you're the dog; some days you're the hydrant.

9) I wish the buck stopped here; I sure could use a few.

10) Kids in the back seat cause accidents. 11) Accidents in the back seat cause kids.

12) It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.

13) The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom.

14) If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees.

15) When I'm finally holding all the cards, why does everyone else decide to play chess?

16) It's not hard to meet expenses... they're everywhere!

17) The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

18) These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter.. I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I'm here after.

19) If all is not lost, then where is it?

20) Did I send this to you already?
