Better that only a few Catholics should be left,
staunch and sincere in their religion, than that they
should, remaining many, desire as it were, to be in collusion with the Church’s enemies and in conformity with
the open foes of our faith.
St. Peter Canisius S.J.

CHURCH COLLECTION Sun. July 5th. $ 8,610.00
We appreciate the generosity of you, our parishioners.
When we have a second collection, people tend to split their
usual offering between the two collections, which is understandable given the pressure of our economic times. However we rely on the first collection to keep the parish going
and pay the bills. We ask that if there are two collections
you include the usual amount you give in the first collection
and do the best with the second if you are able to.

FROM THE DESK OF
FR. MIZZI-GILI
15th Sunday in Ordinary Time
July 12, 2015
Greetings to All!
O God, who show the light of your truth to
those who go astray, so that they may return to the
right path, give all who for the faith they profess are
accounted Christians the grace to reject whatever is
contrary to the name of Christ and to strive after all
that does it honor. Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity
of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
This is the Collect (opening prayer), one of
the three presidential prayers that the priest prays to
God the Father as he is offering the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass. The collect is asking the Almighty Father for the strength to overcome that which would
take us away from His Son and to bear honor to His
holy name. In this prayer, the priest is saying that
those who call themselves Christians are to live like
Christ, or to be like Christ, sacrificing themselves for
the other. Also, it is to hold onto the teachings of the
Church, even in the face of opposition, indifference
and even when we don’t agree with His teachings.
If we take a good look at the gospel, we
would see that by the disciples going out two by two,
our Lord gives them instructions in aiding those who
don’t know our Lord the grace to get to know Him. It
is not just the social teachings that we get to know
God but by listening to the scriptures, especially the
Gospels and listening to them correctly, in other
words, not what we want to hear.
How do we bear the name of Christ honor?
We give glory and honor to His holy name by the
way we walk in the footsteps of Christ. The collect
prayer is very telling because in it, the priest is asking God to give us the ability, like the twelve- the
Apostles, to remain faithful to Him even when people do not accept the teachings of Christ or the
Church. We must realize that when we reject the
teachings of the Church, we reject Christ. That is
what it is meant in that opening prayer- give all who
for the faith they profess are accounted Christians
the grace to reject whatever is contrary to the name
of Christ and to strive after all that does it honor.
Our Lord knows that we can do it. We only need to
let Him into our souls.
May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
enlighten the eyes of our hearts, that we may know
what is the hope that belongs to our call.
Buona Domenica!
Good Sunday!
I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to all those who assisted
me this past year. As I mentioned last weekend, Fr.
Matthew Fernan, who is the pastor of St. Matthew in
Hastings, will be coming to St. Eugene as Pastor as
of August 1, 2015. With Cardinal Dolan’s parish
planning initiative Making All Things New, there are
more priests than parishes to go around, thus needing
to place more pastors.
Please welcome Fr. Fernan as you welcomed
me. This is a difficult time for our parish with transitions. Our parish saw Fr. Villa be transferred, who
was here for 23 years, 16 as pastor, Fr. Morrow who
is on sick leave, the school with many of the teachers
retiring and now me. With all of the moves, we need
to stay strong and stay together. We need to pray and
not lose hope.
Be assured of my prayers for all of you.
Please pray for me. God Bless you and God Bless the
Parish of Saint Eugene!
