Who can assure us that we will be alive tomorrow? Let us listen to the voice of our conscience, to the voice of the royal prophet: "Today, if you hear God's voice, harden not your heart." Let us not put off from one moment to another (what we should do) because the (next moment) is not yet ours.

 -St. Padre Pio

 

 

Eucharistic Holy Hour with the Bishop

May 23 – Bishop Bootkoski will preside at a Eucharistic Holy hour for three special intentions at St. Bartholomew Church, East Brunswick at 7 PM.

·         For the Sanctification of Priests in our Diocesan Church – that each of them will continue to be renewed daily in the grace of their ordination as they labor in the vineyard of the Lord.

·         That the inviting voice of Jesus will be heard by men and women amidst the various “voices of our days,” and that they will joyfully and courageously respond to His invitation to serve as priests, religious and deacons.
