READINGS FOR THE WEEK
Monday, October 11th –
Gal. 4:22-24,26-27,31—5:1; Lk.11:29-32
PRAISE AND THANKS
Naaman the Syrian leper-general washes
clean, following the instructions of
God’s prophet Elisha. Jesus heals the
lepers by his own Word and a foreigner
returns to give thanks. Naaman hauled away dirt
from the Holy Land to make a holy place. The healed
Samaritan leaves praising God and full of faith in the
Messiah. For us Christians, God’s presence is not
confined but is wherever we gather to praise the
Lord. There we are nourished and healed in the
Eucharist, our thanksgiving. How do you praise God?

In 2004 my cousin was Baptized at
Saint John of God Church. Although
Father Jim didn’t carry out the ceremony, he was present
for it. I remember him telling my husband and me about
his memories as a child and amusing family stories. We
knew who to ask to marry us immediately after meeting
him. Five years later we had arranged Pre-Cana appointments with Rev. Msgr. James M. Kissane.
On our first Pre-Cana meeting, Father Jim gave us a marriage workbook to go home with, asking us to be honest
with each answer, as we would ALL go over them at the
next session. As our next appointment neared, butterflies
began to flutter for the both of us, partially because we
had dedicated hours towards our workbook, but also because we were nervous to discuss our answers with him.
When we handed in our workbook, Father Jim took it,
opened it, quickly shuffled the pages, and then placed it
down again. “Do your workbook?” he asked. Nervously
but proudly we replied “Yep!”. “Good.” he replied. “I’m not
going to read it though.” (At this point I think we both received the color that left our faces moments ago) He explained our answers were not what were important in our
Pre-Cana sessions; communication between the two of
us was what had mattered. He wanted us to talk to each
other about all the significant moments to expect in our
marriage. How in the future we could experience both the
proudest and hardest of times, but as long as we can
communicate and keep faith in our hearts, we would get
through it all.
Before we knew it, it was the night before our wedding
and we were all at our Rehearsal. Father Jim had told us
he had a slight cough, but not to worry, he would deliver a
magnificent ceremony. The big day had come, and he
had kept his promise. He helped make our day perfect.
He gave such a beautiful sermon, friends and family commented on how kind, funny and touching his words had
been to them.
We returned from our Honeymoon early December and
had heard the sad news that Father Jim was hospitalized,
and, soon after had passed. We had and always will remember his guidance and insight from our Pre-Cana sessions.
He had left such an impression on us, that when we welcomed our first child this summer, we named him James,
as that name will always remind us of strength, humor,
and wisdom.

A PIECE OF PROVIDENCE
OPENING SCHOOL MASS
OLOP students began the year with a special mass celebrated
by Fr. Chris. Fr. Chris encouraged the students to bless their
parents, teachers, and friends to bring success, health, and
happiness
DANCE AND BAND
Next week marks the beginning of our Afterschool Dance and
Band Programs. Musical enjoyment is a wonderful part of life.
The dance group will focus on two types of music and the
moves associated with them. What a great way to exercise
and be healthy! In our Paul Effman band program, students
learn to make their own music with different instruments, such
as the clarinet, trombone, drums, bells, and saxophone.
These skills can be enjoyed for an entire lifetime and are
shown to benefit learning in the classroom.
TOMORROW’S HOPE FOUNDATION
The THF sponsored a LAPS FOR LEARNING event at Cedar
Creek Park in Seaford on Saturday, Oct 2nd. This was a fun
day filled with different walking and biking competitions. Our
school sponsored some of our students with dress-downs,
raffles, and a Carvel ice cream sale. Children and adults had a
wonderful time and all money is targeted to help students
attending Catholic schools.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus
heals ten lepers but only one comes
back to thank him. Jesus said to
him: “Stand up and go, your faith
has saved you.”
The faith that saves is the recognition
that God acts in many ways on our behalf to
bring us salvation. We are healed each time
we put other ahead of ourselves. We are
healed each time we put others ahead of
ourselves. We are healed each time we give
thanks to God for the many blessings of each
day. By giving thanks we acknowledge our
own indebtedness—we are poor and
everything we are and are becoming is
because God has raised us up.
Have you considered answering the all
to help serve the poor by joining the Society of
St. Vincent de Paul? Our next meeting is
Tuesday, October 19th at 12:30PM in the
Conference Room of the Parish Center. We
welcome new members and can be reached
at 234-6535, ext. 103. Join us and become
what God has raised you up to be..

Eucharistic Ministers and Lectors
We need more parishioners

Our Lord is calling you to
help serve at
his Mass.
Speak to Fr. Chris
or Deacon Ron.
We Pray:
O God, kindly watch over those
exposed to the dangers of military life.
Give them such strong faith that
nothing may ever lead them to deny it
or fear to practice it.
Fortify them by your grace against the contagion of
bad example, so that, preserved from vice and
serving you faithfully, they may be ready to meet
death if it should come.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, inspire them
with sorrow for sin and grant them pardon.
Mary, our Mother, be with them in battle,
and should they be called upon to make
the supreme sacrifice, obtain for them the
grace to die in the love of your Divine son.
Saint Joseph, pray for them. Amen.

DIOS REVELADO A LAS NACIONES
Nuestra extendida lección sobre el ser discípulo continua este fin de semana enfocando lo central que es el agradecimiento en la vida cristiana. Escuchamos relatos sobre extranjeros que tienen el poder sanador y limpiador del Dios de Israel y dan gracias al Señor. En el episodio de hoy proveniente del
libro de Reyes, el profeta Eliseo cura al extranjero
llamado Naamán de su lepra. Naamán vuelve para
darle las gracias a Eliseo y promete adorar únicamente al Dios de Israel de ahí en adelante. El Evangelio presenta el relato de la cura de los diez leprosos. Es el samaritano –también un extranjero– que
retorna para darle gracias a Jesús y dar gloria y alabanza a Dios. “El Señor da a conocer su victoria, revela a las naciones su justicia”, canta el salmista.
“Aclama al Señor…griten, vitoreen, toquen” (Salmo
98:2, 4).

From Fr. Chris N.:
The central theme of today’s readings is the expression of gratitude expected from us.
Today’s gospel presents a God who desires gratitude from us for the many blessings we
receive from Him, and who feels pain at our ingratitude. Today’s gospel story tells us of a
single gentile leper (a “Samaritan heretic”) who returned to thank Jesus for healing him,
while the nine Jewish lepers went their way under the false impression that healing was
their right as God’s chosen people. “Where are the other nine?” Jesus asked the gentile
leper. Today’s readings also remind us that faith and healing go hand in hand. It was faith
that prompted Naaman to plunge himself into the waters of the Jordan River, and it was
faith in Jesus which prompted the lepers to present themselves to the priests. The readings
also demonstrate the universal love of God for all peoples including the Samaritans whom
Israelites hated and the pagans, the enemies of Israel whom Naaman represented.
We express our gratitude to our loving God by offering grace before meals and by
allotting a few minutes of the day for family prayer. Let us show our gratitude to our
forgiving God by forgiving others and to a loving God by radiating His love, mercy and
compassion to others. It is by taking good care of our old and sick parents that we express
our gratitude for the sacrifice they endured in raising us up. Let us live with the attitude of
gratitude towards our friends, teachers, doctors, for the countless gifts we have received
from them.
God’s Blessings Always, Fr. Chris N
De Padre Chris. N.
El tema central de las lecturas de hoy es la expresión de gratitud esperada de
nosotros. El Evangelio de hoy presenta a un Dios que desea la gratitud de nosotros por las
multitudes de bendiciones que hemos recibido de Él, y que se siente el dolor a nuestra
ingratitud. El cuento del Evangelio de hoy nos dice de un leproso gentil (‘un hereje
samaritana”) que regresó a dar gracias a Jesús por la curación mientras los nueve judíos
se fueron bajo la impresión falsa que la curación que ellos experimentaron fue su derecho
como la gente elegida por Dios. “¿Dónde están los otros nueve? Jesús preguntó al leproso
gentil. Las lecturas de hoy nos recuerden que la fe y la curación van juntas. Fue la fe que
indujo que Naamán se zambulló en las aguas del Río Jordan, y fue la fe en Jesús que
indujo que los leprosos se presentaran a los sacerdotes. También las lecturas muestran el
amor universal de Dios para todas las personas incluido los samaritanos que los cuales los
israelitas odiaron, y los paganos, los enemigos de Israel que fue representado por Naamán
Expresamos nuestra gratitud al Dios amoroso a través de dar gracias a Dios antes
las comidas y por asignar algunos minutos del día para oración como familia. Déjanos
mostrar nuestra gratitud a nuestro Dios indulgente por dando nuestro perdón a los otros y
a un Dios amoroso por irradiando su amor, su misericordia y compasión a los otros .Es por
cuidar lo mejor que podemos de nuestros padres enfermos y viejos que expresamos
nuestra gratitud por los sacrificios que ellos soportaron cuando nos criaron. Déjanos vivir
con la actitud de gratitud hacia nuestros amigos, maestros, doctores por los dones
innumerables que hemos recibido de ellos.
Las Bendiciones de Dios Siempre, P. Chris. N.
