I cannot begin this audience without expressing my profound sorrow

“I cannot begin this audience without expressing my profound sorrow at
the terrorist attacks which yesterday brought death and destruction to
America, causing thousands of victims and injuring countless people. To
the President of the United States and to all American citizens I express
my heartfelt sorrow. In the face of such unspeakable horror we cannot
but be deeply disturbed. I add my voice to all the voices raised in these
hours to express indignant condemnation, and I strongly reiterate that
the ways of violence will never lead to genuine solutions to humanity’s
problems.
Yesterday was a dark day in the history of humanity, a terrible affront to
human dignity. After receiving the news, I followed with intense
concern the developing situation, with heartfelt prayers to the Lord.
How is it possible to commit acts of such savage cruelty? The human
heart has depths from which schemes of unheard-of ferocity sometimes
emerge, capable of destroying in a moment the normal daily life of a people. But faith comes to our aid
at these times when words seem to fail. Christ’s word is the only one that can give a response to the
questions which trouble our spirit. Even if the forces of darkness appear to prevail, those who believe in
God know that evil and death do not have the final say. Christian hope is based on this truth; at this
time our prayerful trust draws strength from it.
With deeply felt sympathy I address myself to the beloved people of the United States in this moment of
distress and consternation, when the courage of so many men and women of good will is being sorely
tested. In a special way I reach out to the families of the dead and the injured, and assure them of my
spiritual closeness. I entrust to the mercy of the Most High the helpless victims of this tragedy, for
whom I offered Mass this morning, invoking upon them eternal rest. May God give courage to the
survivors; may he sustain the rescue-workers and the many volunteers who are presently making an
enormous effort to cope with such an immense emergency. I ask you, dear brothers and sisters, to join
me in prayer for them. Let us beg the Lord that the spiral of hatred and violence will not prevail. May
the Blessed Virgin, Mother of Mercy, fill the hearts of all with wise thoughts and peaceful intentions.
Today, my heartfelt sympathy is with the American people, subjected yesterday to inhuman terrorist
attacks which have taken the lives of thousands of innocent human beings and caused unspeakable
sorrow in the hearts of all men and women of good will.
Yesterday was indeed a dark day in our history, an appalling
offence against peace, a terrible assault against human
dignity.
I invite you all to join me in commending the victims of this
shocking tragedy to Almighty God's eternal love. Let us
implore his comfort upon the injured, the families involved,
all who are doing their utmost to rescue survivors and help
those affected.
I ask God to grant the American people the strength and
courage they need at this time of sorrow and trial.”

 A MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR 
PRIESTLY ORDINATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES
“Up, Up, Up”
This past Friday (5 September), our Summer-Seminarian Mr. James H. Hansen, returned to the North American College in
Rome to complete his preparation for the Priesthood. (On 2 October James will – God-willing – be ordained a transitional
Deacon and receive the title “Reverend Mister”, and on 20 June 2015 he will be ordained a Priest and receive the title
“Reverend Father”. Please pray for him.) From its institution by Our Holy Redeemer Himself, Satan has tried to destroy
that Priesthood. He tried with help from those amongst the Twelve who betrayed Christ; those amongst the Twelve who
denied Christ; and those amongst the Twelve who abandoned Christ. Try though he may, Satan’s efforts to destroy the
Church and her teaching will not prevail (cf. Saint Matthew XVI:18b).
The Church’s teaching on the Priesthood has always been a stumbling block and foolishness (cf. I Corinthians I:23). Perhaps
that is why so much “press” is given to it. And while it is true that the Press is opposed to, and has an obsession with the
Church’s teaching about abortion, contraception, euthanasia, and homosexuality, underlying any treatment by the Press of
those issues, is a deep opposition to the Priesthood.
Locally the full court press against the Church unfolds in the pages of a newspaper
that finds its way into the hands of many of Long Island’s nearly two million
Catholics. Many of those Catholics aren’t Sunday Mass-goers and so, the only
“news” that they get about the Church/their Church is from the incomplete and
misleading articles of this newspaper. Consider if you will, a 28 July 2014 Newsday
article entitled “A Strain on Sundays and Every Day” where-in readers are
intentionally mislead to believe that there is not only a “steady drop in the number
of Catholic Priests on Long Island and across the country …” but that “the number of
those entering seminaries also has dropped; … and that according to experts (my
emphasis) “the number of newly ordained priests doesn’t come close to filling the
gap: Last year, 494 seminarians were ordained nationwide, down from 994 in 1965”.
What kind of reporting draws a conclusion from a fifty year period (1965 – 2014) without reporting what took place during
the years of that period? “Incomplete and misleading” reporting that doesn’t want readers (Catholic or non-Catholic) to
know the Truth. Newsday could have reported that “Last year, 494 seminarians were ordained nationwide,
UP from 487 in 2012!
UP from 480 in 2011!
UP from 459 in 2010!
UP from 465 in 2009!
UP from 401 in 2008!
UP from 475 in 2007!
UP from 358 in 2006!
UP from 454 in 2005!
UP from 442 in 2000!
DOWN from 511 in 1995.
Yes Newsday could have reported that the last time there were
measurably less Priestly ordinations in the United States than there
were in 2014 was TWENTY YEARS AGO in 1995! And Newsday should
have reported that Priestly ordinations in the United States have
steadily INCREASED over the past twenty years; not because they’re
happy with that Truth – they’re not – but because it is the Truth, and it
is the Truth that sets us free! (cf. Saint John VIII:32)

NOW A WORD FROM OUR SAINTS
BY: POPE SAINT JOHN XXIII
GRATA RECORDATIO
ENCYCLICAL OF POPE JOHN XXIII
ON THE ROSARY: PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH,
MISSIONS, INTERNATIONAL AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS
26 SEPTEMBER 1959
To the Venerable Brethren, the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, Bishops, and other
Local Ordinaries in Peace and Communion with the Apostolic See.
Venerable Brethren, Greetings and Apostolic Benediction.
Among the pleasant recollections of Our younger days are the Encyclicals which Pope Leo XIII used to write to
the whole Catholic world as the month of October drew near, in order to urge the faithful to devout recitation of
Mary's rosary during that month in particular.
2. These Encyclicals had varied contents, but they were all very wise, vibrant with fresh inspiration, and directly
relevant to the practice of the Christian life. In strong and persuasive terms they exhorted Catholics to pray to
God in a spirit of faith through the intercession of Mary, His Virgin Mother, by reciting the holy rosary. For the
rosary is a very commendable form of prayer and meditation. In saying it we weave a mystic garland of Ave
Maria's, Pater Noster's, and Gloria Patri's. And as we recite these vocal prayers, we meditate upon the principal
mysteries of our religion; the Incarnation of Jesus Christ and the Redemption of the human race are proposed,
one event after another, for our consideration.
Pope John's Devotion to the Rosary
3. These pleasant memories of Our younger days have not faded or vanished as the years of Our life have passed.
On the contrary, We want to declare in complete frankness and simplicity that the years have made Mary's
rosary all the dearer to Us. We never fail to recite it each day in its entirety and We intend to recite it with
particular devotion during the coming month.
4. During Our first year as pope—a year which is almost over—We have several times had occasion to urge the
clergy and laity to public and private prayer. But today We make this same request with even greater emphasis
and earnestness, for reasons which this Encyclical will set out very briefly.
I
5. This coming October will mark the end of the first year since the saintly departure of Our predecessor, Pius XII,
from this mortal life in which he had distinguished himself by so many glorious achievements.
6. Twenty days after his death, We, though all unworthy, were raised to the Sovereign Pontificate in accord with
God's mysterious designs.

HOW MUCH MONEY
SHOULD I GIVE TO MY PARISH?
(WITH HELP FROM SAINT PAUL)
“Remember how generous the Lord Jesus was: He was rich, but He became poor for your sake, to make you rich out
of His poverty . . . As long as the readiness is there, a man is acceptable with whatever he can afford; never mind
what is beyond his means. This does not mean that to give relief to others you ought to make things difficult for
yourselves: it is a question of balancing what happens to be your surplus now against their present need, and one
day they may have something to spare that will supply your own need. That is how we strike a balance, as scripture
says: The man who gathered much had none too much, the man who gathered little did not go short.”
(II Corinthians viii: 9, 12-15)
During the latter part of the last century, Our Holy Redeemer became a tithing parish, and as such,
many parishioners began offering the Biblical Tithe of Ten Percent to the Church.

FAITH AND GOVERNMENT
FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS UNDER ATTACK
Senate Majority leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) has called a Senate vote on
8 September on a constitutional amendment that will fundamentally rip apart
American’s right to free speech.
S.J. Res. 19 would give Congress or the states the power to prohibit groups like
National Right to Life from communicating with the public about matters legislators
think might "influence elections." Another provision would restrict private citizens
from spending their money to express their views on public policy issues.
The amendment exempts the Press from these restrictions, leaving only the
government and the media with the right to free and unfettered discussion of our
elected officials and their policies, and lets the government decide which media
outlets qualify for exemptions and which would not. It would literally take away our
freedom to freely report on the actions, votes and statements of our elected
officials. (Excerpts from a National Right to Life message).
Call the U.S. Capital switchboard at (202) 224-3121 or Senator Charles Schumer at (631) 753-0978; or
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand at (631) 249-2825 and let them know how you feel.

FAITH AND PRAYER
SCRIPTURE REFLECTION
“If your brother sins against you” (See Matthew 18:15-20). Jesus gives us here the basis for proper
relationship with our neighbor. He tells us the secret of how to deal with others. He says “If your
brother (or your sister).” Do you understand what he is saying? The basis to solve the problem—
in fact, any relationship problem—is to view the offender in the right way. We must see him or
her as our own brother or sister. In this way, we can see that it is a family matter. After all, Jesus
taught us to call God our Father, and at the cross he gave us Mary as our mother. Doesn’t that
mean that we are all related? Yes, we are closely related! We are all brothers and sisters, children
in the Great Family of God. Therefore, we must learn to treat each other as such. No matter the
race, color or language. No matter what the sin against us may be, the offender is our brother or
our sister and therefore we have to treat him or her as such. With this as a basis we can see why
we are not to talk to others about what our brother or sister has done to us. We are to talk with
that individual first in private. We go directly to him or her to treat the matter with love and respect just as we would do
with a close member of our own fleshly family.

Know what the terms "HURRICANE WATCH" and "HURRICANE WARNING" mean:
 WATCH: Hurricane conditions are possible in the specified area of the WATCH, within 48 hours.
 WARNING: Hurricane conditions are expected in the specified area of the WARNING, within 36 hours
Be alert for tornadoes. Tornadoes can occur during a hurricane and after it passes over. Remain indoors, in
the center of your home, on the lowest floor, in a door archway, bathroom or room without windows.
Stay away from floodwaters. If you come upon a flooded road, turn around and go the other way. If you are
caught on a flooded road and waters are rising rapidly around you, get out of the car and climb to higher
ground.
One of the worst parts of a hurricane is the severe winds on all sides of the eye wall. If the eye wall passes
over you, prepare for a repeat of severe winds from the opposite direction. Trees, shrubs, buildings and other
things damaged by the first winds can be broken, destroyed or moved by the second winds.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR WINNERS!!!
 UN MENSAJE DEL PASTOR 
VAN Y VIENEN
Nuestra rectoría ha sido el hogar de muchos sacerdotes durante la vida de la Parroquia.
Algunos de nuestros lectores quizás recuerden a los Pastores †Monseñor Eugene Crawford, †Padre Kenneth Knee,
†Monseñor Saverio Mattei, †Padre Matthew Levy, Padre Rick Figliozzi, y el Padre Nick Figliola. (Y aunque quizás haya
alguien lo suficientemente viejo como para recordar al Segundo Pastor de Nuestro Santo Redentor el †Padre John L.
O’Toole (1913 – 1935) y/o a nuestro tercer Pastor, el †Monseñor John J. Mahon (1935 – 1959), no creo que ninguno
de nosotros sea lo suficientemente viejo como para recordar a nuestro primer Pastor, el †Padre Logue (1903-1913)).
Algunos quizás recuerden a los Pastores Asociados que vivieron aquí, Sacerdotes como los Padres Néstor Watin,
Padre Donald Babinski, Padre Ralph Sommer, y el †Padre Joe Cantanzaro. Hasta “sacerdotes residentes” como los
Capellanes de Hospital, los Padres Cornelius Dery, Anthony Osuagwu, Jerome Ackah, y Benet Uwasomba, así como
los que ayudan durante el verano, como los Padre James Carmody y Vincent Rubino, y por supuesto Sacerdotes que
llegaron a ser Obispos como el (Obispo Robert Guglielmone), y los que ya eran Obispos cuando vivieron aquí como el
(Obispo Paul Walsh), que estoy seguro que todos recordamos.
De todos los que han vivido en Nuestro Santo Redentor a través de los años quizás recordamos más a menudo los
que vinieron en su camino al Sacerdocio. Hombres como Anthony Iaconis (ahora Padre Iaconis y Pastor de San Pedro
Apóstol en Islip Terrace, Matthew Bartholomew (ahora Padrer Bartholomew y Pastor de la Inmaculada Concepción
en Westhampton Beach), Jacob Onyumbe (ahora Padre Jacob Onyumbe y Estudiante Graduado de la Nunversidad
Duke en N.C.), Vian Ntegerej’lmana (ahora Padre Vian y Pastor Asociado de San Antonio de Padrua en East
Northport), y nuestro actual Seminarista en Residencia, el Sr. Mr. James Hansen.
Al igual que los sacerdotes nuestros Seminaristas van y vienen, y sí, eso significa que James nos
va a dejar. De hecho, el domingo 31 de Agosto fue su último día “oficial” con nosotros. El Dios
Todopoderoso verdaderamente nos bendijo con la presencia de James aquí en nuestra
absolutamente hermosa iglesia en la que el adoró con nosotros y entrenó a una nueva clase de
Servidores del Altar, en nuestro edificio de la Escuela en el que él invitó a niños de todas las
edades a “seguir al Hijo” tras las huellas de San Pablo en la Escuela Bíblica de Vacaciones y con
la Escuela De La Salle en la que compartió su vocación con los alumnos, en la Oficina de
Servicios Humanos donde se encontró con Jesús en el hambriento, el sediento, el harapiento y
el forastero; en la Tienda de Ahorros en Memoria de Janene Suchan donde contribuyó a la
diferencia que la Iglesia está hacienda; y ¿quién puede olvidar su presencia y la solemnidad y levedad que trajo a la
Misa del Muelle en el 175 de la Avenida Woodcleft!
¡James, damos gracias a Dios por enviarte y te aseguramos de nuestras oraciones en tu retorno a Roma!
COLECTA PARA LA UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA DE AMÉRICA – 14 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 2014
La Universidad Católica de América, ubicada en Washington D.C, es la Universidad Nacional de la Iglesia Católica de
los Estados Unidos. Conocida como CUA, ella ofrece a los estudiantes una excelente educación en un ambiente de fe
fundada en la tradición Católica intelectual. Algunos de nuestros sacerdotes han recibido educación y se han
especializado en diferentes cursos eclesiásticos y hoy están sirviendo en nuestra Diócesis. La próxima semana es la
Colecta Nacional para La Universidad Católica de América. Cada dólar que usted dé apoya directamente la asistencia
dada a estudiantes de las diócesis a través de esta nación, incluyendo nuestra diócesis.
Gracias por su generosidad.
REFLEXIÓN SEMANAL
“Si tu hermano comete un pecado” (Ver Mateo 18:15-20). Jesús nos da aquí la base para la relación
apropiada con el prójimo. Jesús nos da el secreto de cómo tratar con otros. Nos dice: “Si tu hermano (o
tu hermana).” ¿Entiende Usted lo que El nos está diciendo? La base para resolver el problema—de
hecho, cualquier problema de relación—es ver al ofensor de la manera correcta. Debemos verlo a él o a
ella como nuestro propio hermano o hermana. Eso nos ayuda a entender que el asunto es un problema
de familia. Después de todo, Jesús nos enseñó a llamar a Dios nuestro Padre y en la cruz nos dio a María
como nuestra madre. ¿No quiere decir todo esto que estamos estrechamente relacionados? ¡Sí, somos
familia! Todos somos hermanos y hermanas, hijos en la gran familia de Dios. Por ello, debemos
aprender a tratarnos unos a otros como tales. Prescindiendo de la raza, el color o la lengua. No importa
cuál sea el pecado tenemos que tratar al ofensor como trataríamos a nuestro hermano o nuestra
hermana carnal. Vemos enseguida la razón por la cual no hablamos de otros a sus espaldas. Vamos directamente a ellos a
tratar el asunto con amor y respeto tal como haríamos en el caso de un miembro allegado de nuestra propia familia carnal.

Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo
Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo
ARTÍCULO 10: EL DÉCIMO MANDAMIENTO
«No codiciarás [...] nada que [...] sea de tu prójimo» (Ex 20, 17). «No desearás su casa, su campo, su siervo o su sierva, su buey
o su asno: nada que sea de tu prójimo» (Dt 5, 21). «Donde [...] esté tu tesoro, allí estará también tu corazón » (Mt 6, 21).
2534 El décimo mandamiento desdobla y completa el noveno, que versa sobre la concupiscencia de la carne. Prohíbe la
codicia del bien ajeno, raíz del robo, de la rapiña y del fraude, prohibidos por el séptimo mandamiento. La “concupiscencia de
los ojos” (cf 1 Jn 2, 16) lleva a la violencia y la injusticia prohibidas por el quinto precepto (cf Mi 2, 2). La codicia tiene su
origen, como la fornicación, en la idolatría condenada en las tres primeras prescripciones de la ley (cf Sb 14, 12). El décimo
mandamiento se refiere a la intención del corazón; resume, con el noveno, todos los preceptos de la Ley.

GATHERING
TOGETHER
IN
HIS NAME
Jesus said to His
disciples, “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.”
Saint Matthew XVIII: 19-20
