The Parish of Saints Cyril & Methodius
A Family of the Eucharist
Rev. Francis X. Gaeta, Pastor
February 6, 2011
“Have no fear for what tomorrow may bring.
The same loving God who cares for you today
will take care of you tomorrow and every day.
God will either shield you from suffering or
give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious
thoughts and imaginations.

BREAKING OPEN THE WORD
Reflecting on next Sunday’s Gospel BEFORE Mass can bring so much more
meaning to your experience of Liturgy. Each week we print the following
Sunday’s Gospel with questions for reflection and discussion. ENJOY!
Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
February 13, 2011 ~ Gospel: Matthew 5:13-16
Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to
abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of
a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these
commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and
teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven. I tell you, unless your righteousness
surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.”
“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, you shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to
judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; and whoever says to his brother
‘Raqa,’ will be answerable to the Sanhedrin; and whoever says ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if
you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the
altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly
while on the way to court. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to
the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last
penny.
“You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you, everyone who looks at a
woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and
throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna. And
if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to
have you whole body go into Gehenna.
“It is also said, Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of divorce. But I say to you, whoever divorces his
wife~unless the marriage is unlawful~causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits
adultery. Again you have heard that it was said to your ancestors, Do not take a false oath, but make good to the Lord all
that you vow. But I say to you, do not swear at all; not by heaven, for it is God’s throne; nor by the earth, for it is his
footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Do not swear by your head, for you cannot make a single
hair white or black. Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more is from the evil one.
God’s wisdom often seems to be the opposite of what we are conditioned to think. Jesus said that if you
want to be great, you must put others first; if you want to win a conflict with your neighbor, you have to win
him over with reconciliation. What Jesus says is not just to follow the rules because it is our duty, but
follow rules in a loving and compassionate way. It is not enough to just follow rules while harboring anger
toward someone, but we need first to go make peace with our opponent. To live the Good News, we should
practice forgiveness. No matter how hard we try, there will always be a void if we withhold forgiveness.
Together we can model life-giving action for one another, and help each other give and receive forgiveness
in our daily lives.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS: Consider what Jesus described as “you have heard” versus what
he preached. What is Jesus’ priority? Is there one commandment that cause you to stumble?
Think of a way you can practice the “spirit” of the law.
FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN: Can you remember a time when you were certain you
were right, but found out later you were wrong? What did you do? Have you ever forgiven
someone who had done something unkind to you? How did you feel after you forgave the person?

A Message from Fr. Lee
February 6, 2011
My Dear Friends,
As you all know by now, our beloved Fr. Frank retired as pastor of our parish on January 1. We will all
certainly miss him. His love for us all is genuine and there is no one who could ever lead this Family of
the Eucharist with a more compassionate and fatherly heart. Having lived with him for the last three
years I can say to you with all sincerity that he truly has a priestly heart - a heart that is one with the
heart of Jesus Christ. He has touched all our lives in ways that we could never describe.
By way of an update, Fr. Frank has been in close contact with the Vicar for Senior Priests at Saint Pius
X in Amityville. Saint Pius X is a residence for the retired priests of our diocese. It is located near the
Dominican Village retirement facility and it is on the grounds of the motherhouse of the Dominican
Sisters of Amityville. After consultation with his family and after a great deal of prayer and
discernment, Fr. Frank has decided that he would like to live at Saint Pius X along with his brother
priests with whom he has served throughout the years. Fr. Frank will be living once again with
Monsignor Rooney!!!! With all of that being said, Fr. Frank and his family have started to move him
to Amityville this week.
As I'm sure you know, Fr. Frank loves to hear from his Family here at Saints Cyril & Methodius.
While visitors are not permitted while he makes the transition into his new home, he certainly
welcomes any letters, cards, or well-wishes that you would like to send. If you would like to write to
Fr. Frank, you can either send your correspondence to his attention in the parish center where I assure
you it will be personally delivered to him on a regular basis, or you can send it to him directly at the
following address:
Fr. Frank Gaeta
Saint Pius X Residence for Senior Priests
565 Albany Avenue
Amityville, New York 11701
I know that you join me and my brother priests - who have had the privilege of living with this
wonderful priest for so long now - in wishing him well as he moves on to this next stage of his life.
And as always, I ask that you please keep him in your prayers.
Sincerely yours in Christ,

another. In this way, we can express our love and gratitude for all the love and service Fr. Frank has poured out to us.
The rainbow is a sign of the covenant I have between me and all
mortal creatures that are on the earth.” Genesis 9:17
The finest blessings God can give are what I ask for you.
His Love ~ His Peace ~ His Happiness on earth and in Heaven too.

MARCH FOR LIFE
January 24, 2011 @ 4:50 am 7ºF
Our Church was lit up and ready to warmly
welcome all who signed up for the bus trip to
Washington, D.C. Once again, Fr. Lee was
gracious enough to celebrate Mass. His homily
consisted of quotes from Our Holy Father, John
Paul II, in reference to respect for the human
person. They were stirring words which prepared
us for the rest of the day.
We arrived at our nation’s Capitol to a balmy
23º. Then on went the hats, gloves, scarves, and
lots of TOASTEE TOES and HAND
WARMERS. Our Pro-Life politicians and
religious leaders encouraged us to keep up the
fight to defend the unborn. After the march, we
met at St. Joseph’s Church on Capital Hill and
were greeted by Bishop Peter Libasci, who is
always there with words of hope and courage. The young people in our group were able to witness our democracy at
work and they shared that they were very pleased with their decision to participate. They were moved when they saw
small children and thousands of students from elementary to college age, marching for life. It seems that every year,
more and more of our country’s youth are joining forces. They came from all parts of the nation in one of the worst
winters.
This day was truly a blessing. It was also a stark
reminder of the challenge that continues in our nation.
Thank you to Boyd Caratozzolo Funeral Home for
providing us with goodie bags, and to those who prayed
the rosary after the 12:15 pm Mass. We certainly felt
your prayers and support. Thank you also to Suzanne
M. Guerriero-Walsh for her generous offering, which
certainly helped with the cost of the bus. God bless you
all.

STEWARDSHIP
Saints Cyril and Methodius
Mission Statement
Ss. Cyril and Methodius is a welcoming Catholic community open to
all with Jesus and Eucharist as our center. Through our celebration of the Gospel message, we embrace with
compassion all individuals equally as God’s children. As a church community, we continue the building of
God’s Kingdom of justice by accepting the challenge of the Gospel through faith, hope and love. We spread
God’s love to all whom we come into contact, truly serving as Jesus’ body on earth.
In the first reading, Isaiah urges us in
the name of the Lord to feed the hungry,
shelter the homeless and clothe the
naked. If we do so, he assures us, the
Lord will hear and answer our cries for
help in time of need.

Thank you for your continued generosity. We
have had a lot of snow this winter, if you haven’t
noticed. We’ve been very blessed to have our own
wonderful Parish Trustee, Nick Keller, do our plowing
with our Parish truck. Unfortunately, due to all the
snow, the transmission had to be replaced at a cost of
$1,650. We also needed to replace part of the plow at a
cost of $240, and replace the two front tires and get a
wheel alignment at a cost of $260. Our snow removal
budget is quickly dwindling. Bill Young, Mark Ruf and
José Portillo, along with Nick, have done a wonderful
job removing and moving the snow. Thank you for
your patience, and please pray for warmer weather.
Sharing Gifts Through the Catholic Ministries Appeal
“The Gifts We Have, We Are Given to Share.” As stewards, we choose to live our lives in
thanksgiving to our generous God. The CMA allows us to share our gifts in many
different ways; through prayer, through gifts of time and talent and by sharing our
financial resources. More than 550,000 of our sisters and brothers receive support and
assistance from funds shared through the CMA each year.

BEING SALT AND LIGHT ~ The Text: Isaiah 58:1-10; Matthew 5:13-16
Religion, or better said, the practice of religion, is a fascinating and, at times, maddening study. Open the Bible to almost
any page and you will meet people just like you and me. Like them, and like us, motives get mixed and values confused. Like them,
and like us, what we think God expects of us and what we expect of God seldom find agreement. Like them, and like us, we confuse
the doing of religious acts with being men and women whose faith informs the way we do life.
Simply put: practicing a religion may or may not have anything to do with living the values and faith of that religion. Such
was the challenge facing the people during the life of the prophet Isaiah and the time of our Lord some 500 years later. Though
centuries separated Isaiah and Jesus, human nature remained the same just as it does today.
To be specific, the people of Isaiah’s day appeared to be adept at fulfilling their religious obligations. They appeared before
the Lord at the Temple, they fasted as their faith taught, and they used all the expected words and behaved in all the expected ways
they believed would please God. But with all their religious behaviors, they failed to live out the higher moral and ethical demands
of feeding the poor, housing the homeless, and caring for society’s lowest and least. Their ritual behavior was perfect; the living out
of their faith’s essence was a complete failure.
Into this void walked the prophet Isaiah with a word from the Lord. Through the prophet, God called the people to fast in
ways that would “loose the bonds of injustice” and to “share your bread with the hungry.” If they would transpose their ritual acts
into righteous behavior, God promised a new day would break into history unlike any other. “Then your light shall break forth like
the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will
say ‘Here I am.’”
Jesus said much the same thing in the Sermon on the Mount. Throughout this most memorable of all sermons, Jesus
reframed what it means to be a person of faith. In today’s lesson, our Lord echoes Isaiah’s vision of the day when God’s people
would be the light of life to the whole world. Our call, said Jesus, is not to talk about religion or even act in religious ways. Rather,
we are to be salt and light, God’s presence in this stale and darkened world.
What does it means to be salt and light as Jesus taught? First, being the salt of the earth has a preservative quality that
keeps the world from spoiling. Chefs tell us that salt brings out the full flavor of food. Our doctors tell us to lay off the salt shaker
because it contributes to having high blood pressure. But in Jesus’ day, salt was one of the world’s most valuable commodities.
Wars were fought over salt, and the rights to mine it, in salt-rich territories. As a preservative in a day before refrigerators and
freezers, salt enabled food, particularly meat, to be edible for months.
To put it bluntly, we of faith are to have a preserving, sustaining quality about our lives that keeps the world from becoming
a rotting mess. We who follow Jesus Christ bring a preserving, life-giving dynamic to others that looks like spiritual humility and
acts like reconciling love.
“Salt of the earth” believers take up the hard work of bringing peace where there is war and comfort where there is sorrow.
Rather than returning insults with cursing, we who claim our Lord as Teacher, and the gospel as our guide, know full well the rotting,
stinking mess sin makes of life, but we choose to go another way. Being the salt of the earth champions the gift of life in Christ
knowing we are dead without him but fully alive following him.
Second, being the light of the world places us as leaders among the human family. Just as a city built on a hill cannot
be hid or ignored, we of faith are to build our lives knowing the world in which we live is lost without leadership’s light. In the same
way, said Jesus, no one “lights a candle and hides it under a bushel basket, but places it on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all in the
house.”
The lack of leadership in our common, societal life may be the most pressing need we face as members of the human
community. Every place we turn – be in the body politic, business, education, health care – we seem to have a lack of credible,
trusted leaders. Truth be told, more than a few of the men and women offering to serve as leaders either lack leadership skills or
come to leadership with fringe ideas that simply don’t make sense. Frustrated and angry, we complain about leadership but rarely
find the courage to do anything about it.
Jesus calls us to be the light of the world. His summons is not suggesting we charge into the public arena, waving the
“Christian” banner as if we were self-appointed messiahs. To the contrary, he calls us to be a presence in society that lifts up the
values he taught. The kinds of changes we desperately need today will only come to be when men and women have their hearts
changed by the person of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Here is a call to action, a summons to be and become persons of integrity, humility, and grace. Our task in being salt and
light is a summons to life-changing, grace-giving attitudes informing every relationship. At work, being salt and light refuses to give
ear to malicious gossip or lewd and tawdry humor. Among our neighbors, being salt and light looks like taking up the work of ethnic
dialogue and racial reconciliation. Being salt and light sounds like understanding and feels like empathy when fear mongering and
vitriol would be our natural reaction to social strife.
What I am suggesting today is not easy and, quite frankly, few may take up the challenge. But for those who deeply believe
our Lord’s way of love is the way of life, there is no other option. More than ever before, we of faith must stand with Jesus Christ in
being the people of grace and truth he calls us to be. Let’s stop talking about how bad our world is and start being salt and light in
the power and love we find in our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dear Parishioners.
February is here and so is the SNOW. Let’s
hope the rain comes and washes away the snow
and out comes the sun to dry up all the rain and
the--- ---- ------- sounds familiar! It sounds like
the ITSY BITSY SPIDER.
☻This year for some reason everyone seems to
be suffering from a Cough. It lasts for several
weeks. In a study at Pennsylvania State
University, 2 teaspoons of thick, dark brown
honey was more effective than cough medicines
at limiting the severity and frequency of a
cough in children.
☻SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
SENIORS
Always ask for identification
before you let someone you
don’t know in your home.
Don’t overload electric outlets.
Never use candles or open flames
for illumination.
Never leave electric heaters and
hot plates unattended.
Check electric cords for visible
damage. Cracked and frayed
cords are dangerous.
Keep appliances unplugged
around water…appliances
immersed in water can cause a
lethal electric shock.
☻Saturday February 5, 2011 we will be open
from 10:00AM until 12:00 Noon for those
people who cannot come during the week. This
will not affect our current clients. If you know
of anyone wanting to come that day please have
them call 243-1649 in order for us to inform
them of what is necessary to join our Program.
