What do I “do” during Adoration? - St. Magdalen de Pazzi Roman

Parish Life
What do I “do” during Adoration?
St. John Vianney would notice a peasant come to his small church everyday and sit on the last
bench. One day he went up to him and asked him, "My good fellow, what are you doing here? Are
you praying? You seem to be doing nothing." And pointing to the Blessed Sacrament, he said in
reply, "I look at him - and he looks at me."
Come spend time with Him during our extended hours of Adoration:
From after the 9am Mass-7pm, Monday –Thursdays
Fridays as usual (see website for details)
Starting February 15th

The Knights of Columbus: A look at how they enrich our Parish
The Jordan Team
The Sacrament of Baptism is often called "The Door of the Church"; it is the first of the seven sacraments not only in time, but in
priority, since the reception of the other sacraments depends upon it. It is the first of the three Sacraments of Initiation, the other two
being the Sacrament of Confirmation and the Sacrament of First Eucharist. Once baptized, a person becomes a member of the
Church. Christ Himself ordered His disciples to preach the Gospel to all nations and to baptize those who accept the message of the
Gospel.
Our Council instituted the Jordan Team to assist the participants during this beautiful and crucial first step in their life as a Catholic,
Christian. We prepare the church, light the ceremonial candle, lead the responses, and present the Knights gift (a beautiful crucifix
provided by our Council) to the father of the child. We do this for the joy of serving our church, celebrating each new soul brought
to God, while remembering those who are taken by our current culture. In this small way we continue our fight for life, faith and
God.

Evangelization and Mission
Encountering Christ
Finding God in
Beauty
Raised in the Assemblies of God Church, my
relationship with Jesus
was personal and secure
at a tender age.
However, all things
Catholic were foreign to
me and sadly
misunderstood.
A love for the visual arts
motivated me to enroll in
4 years of art school
where I studied the
world's great artists, and
traveled abroad on several occasions.
I remember a particularly powerful encounter that
occurred while standing inside the Vatican, at Saint
Peter’s Basilica in Rome, staring at Michelangelo’s Pietà.
There was Mary, enveloped in graceful acceptance,
lovingly and tenderly holding her son's limp body. I could
feel the weight of our crucified Lord upon her lap. Looking
back now, I see this as my first powerful introduction to
our Blessed Mother.
Another profound moment occurred while sitting through
Mass inside Germany’s Kölner Dom (Cologne Cathedral).
Amidst sacred music, billowing incense and grand stained
glass windows, I felt strangely at home.
Not yet Catholic, my heart was being stirred!
Years later, by the Holy Spirit’s gentle prompting I
enrolled in RCIA, and was welcomed into full communion
with the Catholic Church in April of 2011.
Today, I continually encounter Christ in the beauty that
surrounds me. A sunrise, a sunset, Autumn colors and
fresh fallen snow. I see God's beauty in my family, and in
my third grade CCD students, each of whom are ‘fearfully
and wonderfully made’ (Psalm 139:14).
Whether created, constructed, painted, sculpted or sung,
God used and continues to use beauty to reveal himself
to me over and over again.
Encountering Christ through art and beauty, I've been
brought into the fullness of truth and safely home to
Christ's Church.

Pope’s Corner
“The mercy of God is His loving concern
for each of us. He feels responsible; that is,
He desires our well-being and He wants to
see us happy, full of joy, and peaceful. This
is the path which the merciful love of
Christians must also travel. As the Father
loves, so do His children. Just as He is
merciful, so we are called to be merciful to
each other. ”
–Pope Francis, (MV, 9)

Do I believe that God wants me to be
happy? Why or Why not?

Evangelization and Mission
St. Magdalen de Pazzi is pleased to announce
our 2016 Lenten study.
‘Untold Blessings: Three Paths to Holiness’.
The Study will begin February, 2016. Dates and times below.
Our ultimate goal is to be a saint. It is our greatest calling and what is desired for us by our
Creator. Bishop Barron paints a beautiful and mysterious image of what it takes to be a follower
of Jesus Christ. He lays out three intriguing paths to holiness:
1.Finding the Center in Christ
2.Knowing you are a Sinner
3.Realizing your Life is not about You
He also shares practical approaches to enhance the journey along these three paths. ‘Untold Blessings’ is an insightful
guide for meditation and personal reflection during your Lenten journey and aided by small group study with discussion.
Join us as we seek these blessings by participating in Bishop Barron’s 4 week DVD-based program.
Registration fee: $11.00/person
Registration forms and sign up will be available after this weekend’s Masses

Liturgies this Week
February 10
Memorial: Saint Scholastica, virgin
(480-547). She was the twin sister of
St. Benedict. Following the rule of her
brother, she founded the Order of
Benedictine nuns.
First Reading: Isaiah 6:1-2a, 3-8
Isaiah recounts the awe he felt the first time he saw the Lord, who was
surrounded by angels. He began to feel despair because he was a man of
unclean lips, until an angel touched an ember to his lips and pronounced
them clean. The Lord asked who he should send forth, to which Isaiah
replied, "Here I am, send me!"
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11
Paul reminds the Corinthians that Christ died for us to free us from our
sins. He encourages them to remember the importance of Jesus' death
and resurrection. He admits that he initially failed to believe, and therefore
was very grateful to be called an apostle and preach in the name of Christ.
Gospel: Luke 5:1-11
Luke tells of Jesus preaching to a crowd, then joining Peter who was about
to end a fruitless day of fishing. He told Peter to lower his net back in, and
a great number of fish were caught. Upon seeing this, Peter and his
companions, James and John, immediately abandoned their nets to follow
Jesus.
Here at St. Magdalen’s
we have the privilege of
attending one of four
Holy Masses on
Ash Wednesday.
Ashes are distributed
during Mass and parishioners are reminded
to be in prayer during this time.
In addition, please
remain in Church until the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
is ended and the priest says:
“Go in peace”
Mass Schedule:

Eucharistic Adoration: Q & A
“Come to Me all you who are weary… ” Matthew 11:28
What is it like in an Adoration Chapel?
Today, in the United States, there are 644
chapels where Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is
exposed twenty-four hours for the adoration of
the faithful. There are another 6,605 chapels
that have partial adoration hours. St. Magdalen
de Pazzi Church is one of these. This is a great blessing for
our parish and for each of us individually. (See note below
for news about additional adoration hours at St. Magdalen
de Pazzi Church.)
Each Adoration Chapel is like an oasis of peace in a
busy, demanding world. All we need to do is walk in and be
still. We will begin to feel Our Lord Himself there,
personally present, All-Powerful and all good, waiting to
listen to all we have to say.
We come, often tired, burdened with problems, or even
discouraged. We come ready to be fed, ready to be still in
His Presence. We come to bathe in His Love, ready to be
healed, allowing His Living Presence to minister to all our
needs-those needs we know
and those needs known by Him alone.
We come to adore our Lord in the Most Holy
Eucharist. We come to tell Him of our love for Him.
We come to thank Him. We come to beg His mercy on
someone’s behalf. We come.
We step out of the buzz of our active lives into the hum
of silence in the Adoration Chapel. We come.
Eucharistic Adoration is available at St. Magdalen de Pazzi Church
EVERY Friday beginning after the 9 am Mass and concluding with
Benediction at 7:30 pm in the chapel.
****Additional hours of Eucharistic Adoration will begin on
Monday, February 15. These hours will be every Monday
through Thursday after 9 am Mass through 7 pm each night.
Simple reposition will happen Monday thru Thursday at 7 pm. If
you would like to commit to being the guardian of Our
Eucharistic Lord on a specific day for a specific hour,
contact Lucille Hess at 908-788-5988.
MONTHLY Overnight Adoration is each first Friday of the month.
Adoration will begin on Friday after the 9 am Mass. Benediction
is at 7:30 pm. Adoration will continue throughout the night until
7:50 am Saturday morning. Mass follows at 8:00 am.
For more information or to sign up for a specific time, contact
Lucille Hess at 908-788-5988 or

Jubillee Council #3294
A Message from Bishop Paul G. Bootkoski
Catholics are not obliged to follow the precept to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of
Obligation when weather conditions could make roads, sidewalks, and parking lots unsafe. When
judging whether travelling could be dangerous, one should use common sense and always err on the
side of caution.
When unable to participate in the celebration of the Eucharist, the faithful still are encouraged to
observe the Day of the Lord (Sunday). A practical approach may be to read and reflect on the Gospel
of the day and, if living with others, you may discuss ways the Gospel message can be lived out in
your own household, the Domestic Church. You may also consider praying together the Responsorial
Psalm of the Day.

DIOCESE OF METUCHEN
OFFICE OF THE BISHOP
Lenten Instructions – 2016
Lent allows each of us to let our Catholic tradition of fasting and abstaining be an important reminder of
what it means to suffer or to be without. This liturgical season is a blessed opportunity for us to unite with
our brothers and sisters who are hungry, poor, homeless, or living on the fringes of society and to draw
near to all those who suffer from illness, affliction, addiction or other serious burden. The following is a
reminder of the Lenten instructions to use as a guide as we unite with those who suffer, near and far.
So that the Church of Metuchen may be spiritually one in a common observance of Lent, the following days
of fast and abstinence are to be observed by all Catholics of the Diocese who enjoy the blessings of good
health:
1. The days of fast and abstinence are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
2. All other Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence.
3. From the Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday until the celebration of the Easter Vigil
on the evening of Holy Saturday, the Easter fast is suggested so that, with uplifted and welcoming
hearts, we may be ready to celebrate the joys of the Resurrection. This ancient tradition, intimately
connected with the Rites of Holy Week and the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, is encouraged,
especially in those places baptizing catechumens at the Easter Vigil.
The obligation to fast applies only to Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59. To fast in the Catholic
tradition means to limit oneself to one full meal during the day so as to experience hunger.
The obligation of abstinence affects all Catholics who have reached the age of 14. Abstinence in the
Catholic tradition means to abstain from meat.
The obligation of fast and abstinence, as a whole, is a serious obligation. While failure to observe any
penitential day in itself may not be considered serious, the failure to observe any penitential days at
all, or a substantial number of them without good cause, would be considered a grave matter. Those
unable to abstain for a valid reason on any given Friday of Lent are asked to perform some other penitential act, or to abstain on another day.
My faithful brothers and sisters, in our fasting and abstaining this Lent, I pray that we each may choose to
embrace this small suffering rather than accept it with misery or complaint. For, if we are joyful in our
Lenten observances, we will be granted an opportunity to more fully understand the true sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for all humanity by accepting death on the cross in order to gain our eternal salvation.

Isaías cuenta la impresión que sintió la primera vez que vió
al Señor rodeado de ángeles. Empezó a sentir
desesperación porque era un hombre de labios impuros,
hasta que un angel los tocó con una brasa y los purificó.
Entonces el Señor preguntó a quién debía enviar, a lo que
Isaías respondió: “Aquí estoy yo, envíame a mí”.
Segunda Lectura: 1 Corintios 15:1-11
Pablo les recuerda a los corintios que Cristo murió para
liberarnos de nuestros pecados. Los alienta a recordar la
importancia de la muerte y resurrección de Jesús. Admite
que al principio no creyó, pero por eso está muy
agradecido de ser llamado apóstol y predicar en nombre
de Cristo.
Evangelio: San Lucas 5:1-11
Lucas cuenta que Jesús había predicado a una multitud.
Luego se unió a Pedro, quien no había pescado nada en
todo el día. Le dijo a Pedro que tirara una vez más su red,
y al hacerlo, agarró un gran número de peces. Al ver esto,
Pedro y sus acompañantes, Juan y Santiago,
inmediatamente abandonaron sus redes para seguir a
Jesús.
