May our hearts not be
hardened, but may we turn from our sin.
In our love for one another, we may be called to confront our brother
and sister for the wrong they may be doing.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL
OF OUR PARISHIONERS who are sick at home, in the hospital or in nursing
homes and especially for Marion Ambrose, Linda Sylvester (wife of Dominick
Jr.), Irene Valdata, James Cruise, Diane (Lane) Stone, Florence Altiere, Sister
Rose Marita Lake, Raffaella Shapiro, Mary Garretson, Theresa Jasinski, Sr. Mary
Theresa Leddy, Haley Weber, Yoshiaki Nakata, Vincent Anatele, Marian Mraz, Rose
Stevenson, Stephen Golaszewski, William Waverka, and Bishop Vincent DePaul
Breen.
"Again, (amen,) I say to
you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it
shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18:19-20
In today’s Responsorial Psalm we sing: “If today you hear
his voice, harden not your hearts.”
Hearing the voice of the Lord- and responding to it – is the challenge
of every Christian. We hear and listen
for the purpose of making a response.
For some, that response will mean following Jesus as priests, sisters,
brothers or deacons. Are you hearing the
voice of the Lord calling you to be a priest, religious sister or brother, or
deacon? If so, contact the Vocations
Office 732-562-1990 or e-mail Vocations@diometuchen.org. Or

THE SIGN OF THE CROSS
We make the sign of the cross by touching with the right
hand:
- the
forehead, saying, “In the Name of the Father;”
- then
the breast, adding “and of the Son;”
- and then from the left shoulder to the right, while
saying “and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
The sign of the cross shows that we are Christians because
it expresses our belief in the chief mysteries of our Catholic faith; the
mystery of the Blessed Trinity and the mystery of the Incarnation and
Redemption. The words we say show that
God is one in Three Divine Persons. The
sign of the cross we make reminds us that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died
for us on the Cross.
HOW TO MAKE A GENUFLECTION
In making a genuflection with one knee, three things are to
be observed:
- bend
the right knee to the floor alongside the ankle of the left foot;
- hold
the head and the upper part o f the body erect, not inclined;
- rise again without delay.
In genuflecting with both knees bend the right knee first
and then the left: thereupon make a medium bow of the body and rise.
