Our prayers can be a very effective channel for the healing power of Christ. Some people have a crisis or illness. Others are chronically ill. Both types of situations need the care and concern of the entire Body of Christ. At the request of concerned family members, names of the critically ill will be placed on our prayer list and will remain on the sick list for four (4) weeks. After that time they will be removed from the list. If a member of the family or the sick person himself or herself wishes to remain on the list, they have only to call or e-mail us and we will be happy to oblige.

Reflection- “The harvest is rich,” Jesus tells the seventy-two in today’s Gospel, “but the workers are few.” The situation is the same today. How can I help with God’s harvest? Am I called into the field? Am I one who could provide food, shelter or wages to those who toil in the fields of the Lord? General Intercession for Mass- That as merciful stewards, we recognize the call to be of service to all we encounter, we pray to the Lord . Living Stewardship- We are grateful this week for all stewards who accept that mercy is not free. Rather it is paid for with effort, an effort that requires dedication and sacrifice; it requires doing things God’s way, not our way.

Kavanagh Barbara Roldan Stephen Nemeth Edward Heintz Diane Gallo Stephen Kreyer Edward Sadowski Congratulations to all the Winners! Fr. Daniel’s Letter Dear Brothers and Sisters! Happy July 4th! Amidst fluttering flags and the wafting of tantalizing aromas from barbecuing victuals of various descriptions, the summer – and its promises, whether attainable or not, of vacations and estival excitement – begins now in earnest. Enjoy! Perhaps the era of Kate Smith belting out God Bless America as an acoustic icon of this day has vanished, but hopefully songs still stir us a bit on this holiday. And perhaps none is more needed than America the Beautiful. More lofty than GBA, more singable than our peculiarly grand National Anthem,1 and more majestic than the loveable and comfortable My Country ’Tis of Thee, the lyrics – the prayerful poetry of AtB B – utters, in the midst of a paean to what America can be, the reminder and the prayer we need. Surpassing the “spacious skies” and the “mountain majesties,” the second stanza (overlooking the dubious comment about pilgrims) says what we need: “America, America! God mend thine every flaw, confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law!” The third stanza builds on this: “heroes . . . who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life!” And can we not all together pray that “all success be nobleness, and ev’ry gain divine”? But for us to let God (and who else could do this?) “mend [our] every flaw”, we cannot shy away from looking at those flaws, even as we celebrate. And would that our celebration were untrammeled! But it isn’t. Would that all we had to do on July 4th was revel in our freedoms. But that luxury is not ours. Vigilance and the at times soulcrushing sadness of confronting our flaws honestly make up true patriotism. Not that we are without hope – a Christian is never without hope – but that hope cannot dwell or function in an illusion separated from the realities confronting us. In fact, it is precisely the bringing of hope into the hopelessness of the world that is the duty and privilege of Christians. The travesties of the Supreme Court’s action and inaction this week cannot be ignored, not only regarding its massacre of life-and-freedom in striking down Texas’ abortion restrictions (doubly foul), but in its craven refusal to hear the appeal of a pro-life family running pharmacies in Washington State, which has been battling bravely (how brave am I in standing up for life?) since 2007 for its right not to have to sell abortion-inducing drugs! The Justices (huzzah!) dissenting from the refusal – Alito, Roberts and Thomas – wrote: “This case is an ominous sign. If this is a sign of how religious liberty claims will be treated in the years ahead, those who value religious freedom have cause for great concern….” If there is an issue – and one we can do something about - on our social and political horizon which comes close to the supreme value of supporting and defending the pro-Life cause (which is the beginning of all social justice, and the absence of which renders all those other good and needed strivings for justice hollow and false, and, of course, doomed to ultimate failure), then is it not the consideration of the future makeup of the Supreme Court? On a more beautiful, if also bittersweet, note, this past Wednesday, the 29th, the Solemnity of Saint Peter and Paul, marked the 65th anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood of the Pope Emeritus2 Benedict XVI. ______________________ 1 Am I, along with Miss Manners, one of the scant few who repudiate the now almost ubiquitous habit of clapping after the Star -Spangled Banner? And – tangentially – isn’t it wonderful to watch how the Queen of England stands silent (for obvious but no less laudable reasons) when God Save the Queen is sung? Less is more. And since I’ve mentioned this, my fourth favorite A (overall) National Anthem, I note how GStQ(K)B has the trippiest text of all – not the first verse, which is grand enough, but the second: O Lord our God arise, / Scatter her enemies, / And make them fall: / Confound their politics, / Frustrate their knavish [24] tricks, / On Thee our hopes we fix: / God save us all. Wouldn’t you love to sing that? A Sure – go ahead and guess the other three if you have nothing better to do. A bottle of Klosterneuburg wine is on offer for the first correct answer – list the other three anthems in the proper order! Hint: none of them is still officially in use, although two of the melodies are (but both with inferior (if perhaps, in one case, less objectionable) lyrics). You can choose the wine if you also can name one of the three runners-up. No submissions accepted until after 6:00pm on Sunday – after the last Mass! I guess that means I’m encouraging people to read this during the homily at the 5:00 Mass, but since I don’t think I’ll be the celebrant . . . B Yes, shameless and imperfect imitation of (but the sincerest form of flattery for) DFW. And I don’t mean the airport. I guess there’s a bottle of wine for this too, but the winner of one is excluded from winning the other, but one may enter both. Dependents of the Canonry of Saint Leopold may not enter the contest. But they never read this anyway. 2 That bizarre title! I cannot countenance the choice of it or its logical incoherence. But that’s a rant for another day. Together with his brother, the young Josef Ratzinger, who was, I would dare to state, the finest theological mind of this century and a peerless example of the powerful brilliance of what Western (and that is, of course, Catholic) culture could produce (whose like we shall not see again), prostrated himself on the floor of the Cathedral in Freising to offer up his life, and rose a priest. Anyone who has ever read his words – either as a theologian or as pope – must have had some experience of the pellucid, loving, profound and faithful vision of this gentle and most humble (what is greater humility than stepping away from the Chair of Peter? What does not pale in comparison!) man. A reminiscence of that day in his own words: “We were more than forty candidates, who, at the solemn call on that radiant summer day, which I remember as the high point in my life, responded ‘Adsum,’ Here I Am. We should not be superstitious; but, at the moment when the el derly archbishop laid his hands on me, a little bird – perhaps a lark – flew up from the high altar in the cathedral and trilled a little joyful song. And I could not but see in this a reassurance from on high, as if I heard the words, ‘This is good, you are on the right way.’ Baptized on the same day he was born,3 the future Benedict speaks to us of the heart of what it is to be a Christian: “Idem velle, idem nolle – wanting the same things, rejecting the same things … He knows me by name. I am not just some nameless being in the infinity of the universe. He knows me personally. Do I know him? The friendship that he bestows upon me can only mean that I too try to know him better; that in Scriptures, in the sacraments, in prayer, in the communion of saints, in the people who come to me, sent by Him, I try to come to know the Lord Himself more and more… [In] friendship, my will grows together with His will, and His will becomes mine: This is how I become truly myself.” Here is a great and gentle wisdom, and a way to see how our friendship with the Lord is developing. Do I want what He wants? Do I reject what He rejects? Do I know that I am not insignificant to Him? This is the cosmic terror of our age – that we are so small (a false conclusion foisted upon us by bad science) and meaningless. Do I try to know Him better? Might we all become truly ourselves, as Pope Benedict has done; might we all truly know the friendship the Lord Jesus offers not only to future popes but to each and every one of us. God bless, Fr Daniel ___________________________________ 3 Would that parents today would have their children baptized sooner! The recent trend of waiting many months, sometimes even years, shows a sad misunderstanding of the Sacrament and evinces a fundamentally confused ordering of priorities. That the child be baptized is far more important that relatives come to see the baptisms (it works without their presence, and the Baptism is about the child, not the relatives) or that there be a party (I’m all for parties – have many! But have the child baptized first!) The Church urges the prompt baptism of children not out of a superstitious fear but because of the immense grace which the Sacrament gives, a grace needed even from the very beginning of our lives. No one would say, “I’m not really going to feed my child until the whole family can get together.” Also, a child of a very few weeks doesn’t cry as much at the baptism! Thus do grace and nature work together. Fr. Gabriel’s Letter Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, As you all know by now, this year has been a busy one at St Patrick. Some things, like the depigeonization of the church tower and the return of the bells, were very noticeable. Others, like our complete conversion to cheaper and cleaner natural gas, while not as flashy, were every bit as important to our future. Financially speaking, we were able to do these things through a combination of short-term diocesan loans, fundraisers like the Beacon Music Series, and tapping into some of our meager cash reserves. My intention here is not to give you a full financial review at this time, but I would like you to know that, while our financial position remains fragile, we are indeed (and finally) able to address projects like these while remaining afloat. That’s a great thing, and I thank you for your support for our parish that makes it all possible. The year, however, is not yet over! As you know, the current state of the Hill, in particular the stretch from Pearsall up to the back of the church, is less than smooth and in great need of repair. Every winter, and the plowing that comes with it, does more and more damage, and this is becoming an urgent need. A few weeks ago, Fr Daniel accepted a bid to repave this portion of the Hill. The good news is that despite all of these projects, the parish is still in the position, thanks in large part to the past mild winter and the associated savings, to be able to write a $25,000 check for this improvement without putting massive financial stress upon us, but... I think you might know what is coming next. Yes, we can write this check right now, but I wasn’t being dramatic when I said our cash position remains fragile. I would be far happier and more at ease if we could raise most or all of this cost with your generous support and go into the winter with a bit more in the tank (or rather in the account). That being said, I would like to ask if you might consider donating something extra, specifically to help defray the cost of this improvement? There are two opportunities for you to help fund this much-needed and high-value project: 1) For the next month, you may make a donation at any time to this project via WeShare: (https://saintpatrickparishglencove.weshareonline.org/PavingtheHill). 2) We will also have a 2nd collection on July 24th specifically for this project. Thank you for your generosity, and enjoy your new driveway!

Thank you ~ The Mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul ~ Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frédéric Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul. July 3: Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - In the Gospel today we see how Jesus sent his Apostles out two by two. In this spirit, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul members “go out two by two” to visit those who are poor and needy in their homes. It is there, in the family setting, that Vincentians listen, offer humble advice, and render assistance. Know that the members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul bring your gift directly to the poor and suffering in our parish.

Contacte a Carol Filippone en nuestra Oficina de Registración 516-676-0762 ext. 202 Carta de uno de nuestros Graduados: Van a haber muchas cosas que voy a recordar de ASR cuando vaya a estudiar a Chaminade. Sin embargo, lo que mas voy a extranar es el sentimiento de familia que siempre hubo en la escuela. Todos los estudiantes nos conocíamos como hermanos y hermanas . Sin embargo, este sentimiento no solo estara presente con los estudiantes , sino con todos los maestros y el personal. ASR hizo un buen trabajo de hacerme sentir como en familia dentro de la escuela, y eso es lo que voy a extranar mucho. ~Richard Thill, 2016 Isaías 66:10-14c Gálatas 6:14-18 ¿Te has puesto a observar a una madre con su bebé? Si el bebé está comiendo o sólo jugando, está feliz en los brazos de su madre. Esa es la imagen usada en la lectura de hoy para decir a los israelitas lo feliz que serían cuando Jerusalén sea restablecida. La ciudad santa es como una madre. Ella sabe lo mucho que sufrieron en el exilio. Ahora ella los confortará y los alimentará. También Dios los confortará como una madre y una vez más los envolverá con regalos. Algunos de los cristianos de Galatea pensaban que tenían que seguir todas las regulaciones del Antiguo Testamento. Pablo les dice que no tienen que seguir leyes rituales, como por ejemplo la circuncisión. Ellos habían sido creados "nuevos" en Jesucristo. Como Pablo, ellos debían confiar en la cruz de Jesús y no ser jactanciosos sino ser fieles al Señor. Lucas 10:1-12, 17-20 o 10:1-9 Nos puede parecer que lo que dice Jesús en esta lectura es algo muy serio. Y lo es. Lo que más le interesa en el mundo es que la gente entienda que el reino de Dios está cerca. Es por eso que envía a sus discípulos por todo el mundo. La siembra (la gente que no ha escuchado la buena nueva del evangelio) está lista ahora mismo. Jesús manda a los discípulos a ir rápido a la velocidad de la luz. Ellos tienen que llevar su paz, su sanación y proclamar el reino de Dios. Las lecturas de hoy nos hablan de la alegría que provoca el ser portadores o receptores de la Buena Nueva de la salvación. La Conferencia de Aparecida nos enseña: “Jesús invita a todos a participar de su misión. ¡Que nadie se quede de brazos cruzados! Ser misionero es ser anunciador de Jesucristo con creatividad y audacia en todos los lugares donde el Evangelio no ha sido suficientemente anunciado o acogido, en especial, en los ambientes difíciles y olvidados y más allá de nuestras fronteras. Seamos misioneros del Evangelio no solo con la palabra sino sobre todo con nuestra propia vida, entregándola en el servicio, inclusive hasta el martirio” (Mensaje Final 4).

Catholicnet Que la vida es breve, lo sabemos todos; quizá los jóvenes se imaginan que sí es larga, pero a la medida que pasan los años va penetrando en la mente la irrefutable sensación de que los años pasan, vuelan y no retornan. Cuando una persona es abuelo por primera vez, es agridulce sorpresa, dulce por el nieto, agrio por lo de abuelo; pero... no hay más remedio que aceptarlo. Ante esta realidad de la brevedad de la vida, muchos toman sus precauciones, se apresuran desde la juventud a sacarle jugo a la vida; creen con fe ciega que esa es la mejor forma de aprovechar la juventud; y en realidad hacen una sola cosa, dedicar los primeros años de la vida a hacer infeliz el resto de ella, hacen alianza con el vicio: la botella, la droga, el sexo, uno de ellos o los tres a la vez..., mejor Patrona de Colombia. Fiesta 9 de Julio En el siglo XVI, los frailes dominicos evangelizaban el territorio colombiano. Un español, Antonio de Santana, recibió la encomienda de construir una casa para la administración de colonos e indígenas de la región de Chiquinquirá. En la los tres que uno; se triplica el placer. No es infrecuente en estos jóvenes la pereza y el abandono en el estudio, la ligereza e inmadurez en el amor con toda clase de experiencias y el abandono de los restos de fe y valores morales de la infancia. La "ley", es el "placer"; a más placer más vida. Si uno es avanzado en años suele apresurarse aun más que los jóvenes, porque piensa: ‘Estoy haciéndome viejo y no he disfrutado lo suficiente; comamos y bebamos, que mañana moriremos’, en el famoso adagio latino "Carpe diem": "Sácale jugo a la vida"... Y dicho y hecho, se dan prisa en apurar las copas, porque la fiesta se acaba. Pero algunos piensan que la vida es demasiado breve para ser pequeña, para ser mediocre; ellos también tienen prisa, pero otra clase de prisa y afán, y por eso, desde la misma juventud ponen las bases para hacer constructivo el resto de esa vida. No esperan a ser adultos para sentar cabeza y así: Aprietan en el estudio, aunque les llamen mataditos; no juegan con el amor, porque saben que se queman; no dan un puntapié a sus valores morales, porque saben que los necesitan. Si hacienda debería haber también una capilla. Los frailes consideraron que en la capilla debería haber una representación de la Virgen del Rosario; un pintor la terminó y en 1562 quedó instalada en la capilla. En 1574 se abandonó esa capilla y el cuadro quedó abandonado y prácticamente destruido por la humedad. En 1585 María Ramos decidió restaurarlo, pero, aunque lo situó en un lugar de honor y lo limpió, estaba desdibujado y dañado. Un día, Isabel, una mujer indígena vio cómo el cuadro brillaba y los colores se habían restaurado milagrosamente. Desde entonces es objeto de la devoción del pueblo colombiano. al llegar a la madurez se percatan de que van rezagados, aprietan el paso porque les queda menos tiempo para hacer algo grande en este mundo. Y si han llegado a la tercera edad, y ven su tarea bastante incumplida en esta vida, se apresuran a hacer y completar lo que no hicieron en la juventud y en la madurez, porque saben, porque ven que ya no tendrán más tiempo y que, ahora o nunca. Cuando llegan al final de la vida lo que se dieron prisa en divertirse y nada más, y los que se dieron prisa en cumplir su misión, ambos, miran hacia atrás; uno para decirse a sí mismo: ‘Más me valiera no haber nacido’, el otro para decir: ‘Valió la pena vivir’. La vida es breve, para ti, para mi, para todos... ¿Cuál es tu prisa? ¿"Carpe diem" o "aprovecha el tiempo" porque la vida es demasiado breve para ser mediocre.? Si la vida es breve y además la maltratas, eres un pobre hombre. Se vive una vez, se cumplen quince años sólo una vez. Tu sabrás lo que haces con esa pequeña vida.
