OLM MINISTRIES
We are looking for faithful and dedicated members
of our parish family to become more involved in the
ministries here at Our Lady of Mercy. We are in
need of Extraordinary Ministers, Ministers of the
Word, Adult Servers, Altar Servers and Hospitality Ministers
(greeters/ushers) to help serve at our weekend liturgies. Each of
us, by virtue of our baptism, are called to give witness to the
power of God working in us and through us, despite our faults
and failures, and maybe also because of them. God does not
ask us to be perfect, but to struggle, sacrifice and make aware
His love, compassion and mercy. If you are interested or would
like more information about our ministries, please contact Lisa at
973-887-0767 or email at: [email protected]

LITURGY CORNER
Today we celebrate the Feast of the
Body and Blood of Christ. The Eucharist
is what unites us; it is what makes us one.
To use the Eucharist as something that
divides us or to keep someone or some
group of persons away from the Eucharist goes against the very
nature of God’s greatest gift to us. When all is said and done,
we only have the Eucharist and no one can take that away from
us. It is the Eucharist that makes us who we are. It is the
Eucharist that keeps our Church together when it seems like it’s
breaking apart. We must do everything we possibly can to
protect the Eucharist—the Real Presence of Jesus among us.
One very important thing we must do is ensure against the
Eucharist becoming irrelevant, and it will become irrelevant if
we ignore its centrality in our life or if we fall into the sin of
believing we can regulate this gift of God and exclude people
who don’t meet our limited and often sinful requirements. No
matter what else happens in this Church, we must never
abandon the Eucharist. There is nothing in the gospel that
should make us believe Jesus only had certain people in mind
when He preached the kingdom or certain people in mind when
He gave us His Body and Blood. Jesus welcomes us all, Jesus
feeds us all and Jesus satisfies us all. Imagine the great joy
Jesus must feel when we are happy and satisfied with the meal
He gives us to share. By the same token, it is unimaginable that
Jesus would want any-one left out. As we move to the table of
the Lord, let us keep in mind that this is a great gift and none of
us is worthy but all of us are invited and all of us are welcome.
This weekend we also celebrate Memorial Day, which really is
a sacred day for Americans. It is so much more than the
unofficial start of summer or a good time for a sale! This is the
weekend when we remember all those brave men and women
who fought for our country and gave their lives in service to our
country. Along with remembering all those brave men and
women and giving thanks for them, let’s also give thanks for
our American heritage. We are a patriotic, peace-loving and
generous nation. Just as the Holy Spirit guides our Church, so
too can the Holy Spirit guide the United States. We all belong to
God, so as patriotic Americans we should always listen to the
Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will guide our nation to be just, to be
welcoming and to be a leader in peace. So many people have
given their lives in the struggle for these virtues. Let us honor
them today and everyday by being faithful to their
memory and listening to the Holy Spirit among us at all
times! Happy Memorial Day! Have a blessed week!

3rd ANNUAL PATERSON DIOCESE
CORPUS CHRISTI FOOD DRIVE
Once again this year, our Diocese will hold their
annual Diocesan-wide food drive for Catholic
Charities. Across our Diocese, especially over
the summer months, there is a food shortage.
Our items are any kind of oil (olive, canola, vegetable)
and/or canned vegetables. Can you imagine how much we
could collect if everyone brought just one item! It would be such
an incredible sight! The collection will be held the weekend of
May 29th, which is Memorial Day weekend. If you would like to
donate but know you will not be around that weekend, donations
may be left at the Ministry House, Rectory or you could bring
your donation next weekend. Please mark on the bag, “Corpus
Christi Food Drive”. Thank you for helping the families in our
diocese that are in need. If you have any questions, please feel
free to contact Lisa at [email protected]
HOLY HEALTH NEWS
We all are aware of the ZIKA virus which has
been in the news for several months. Cases
have been reported in our state. The virus is
transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause flu
like symptoms but more seriously birth defects
in the fetuses of pregnant women. Mosquito
control and bite prevention are important for all of us this
summer. Here are some tips: Standing water on your property
must be eliminated; that includes baby pools, toys, plates under
flower pots, bird baths, garbage cans, tires and clogged gutters.
Swimming pools are OK since they are chlorinated and
filtered.Use a DEET repellant and follow the directions and
frequency of use on the container so you'll know when to
reapply. It's OK for kids 2 months and older. Clothing,
especially those which have been treated with the insecticide,
Permethrin, can prevent bites. Always wear light weight, light
colored clothing ( mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors). Wear
a long sleeve shirt ( white, khaki or pastel) , long pants and high
socks with sneakers if you will be outdoors. The mosquito which
causes Zika tends to bite on the lower part of the body. They
also bite during the day-light hours. You might consider eating
indoors this summer. Any questions should be directed to the
Morris County Mosquito Commission or your local Board of
Health.
FAITH AT HOME
When the Lord gave us the Eucharist, he meant this
great sacrament to sustain us. It is the “bread of
angels” and “food for the journey.” It enables us to
go to God. Adults: Are there particular moments
when the Eucharist clearly became the decisive and life-giving
sustenance of my life, enabling me to go forward? Children:
How do I show gratitude and thanks in my life? A Family
Perspective: In our age of fast food and eating on the go, families
often find that they are not eating meals together at a dinner
table. As a family, look back over the past week and recall how
many meals were eaten together and how many meals were
eaten alone or on the run. In the Bible, meals are seen as much
more than a means to satisfy a physical need. The Hebrew
people viewed eating a meal as a way of expressing and
strengthening their relationship to one another under God's
covenant. Talk about the kinds of hungers that people have in
addition to physical hunger. Describe the hungers that a family
nourishes (love, compassion, forgiveness, laughter, and so on).
Together give thanks for the food that Jesus gives us that we
celebrate on this Sunday's Feast of the Body and Blood of Jesus.
Enjoy your week! Lisa
