FREEPORT, NEW YORK
A LENTEN INVITATION FROM FATHER ARCOLEO
On Ash Wednesday you might remember hearing Jesus say: “repent and believe in the Gospel.”
Please “listen to Him” and return home to the Sacrament of Confession/Penance/Reconciliation
any Saturday at Our Holy Redeemer from 1:30 P.M. to 2:30 P.M.
And while many of us think that we do nothing wrong,
all we need to do, with the help of the Confiteor is to remember that
sin occurs not only when we do something wrong but when we fail to do something right:
The Confiteor
“I confess to Almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned
in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do;
through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault, therefore I ask
Blessed Mary, ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God. Amen.”
FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO
(AND FAIL TO DO) …
 When they worship false gods (or fail to worship the One True God).
 When they take the Lord’s Name in Vain (or fail to defend “the Name”
when others abuse It).
 When they choose not to attend Sunday Mass (or fail to remind others of their
obligation to attend Sunday Mass).
 When they dishonour their mother and father (or fail to admonish others who do).
 When they kill (or fail to do anything that could prevent others from killing).
 When they commit adultery (or fail to do anything that might stop others
from committing adultery).
 When they steal (or fail to return what they have stolen).
 When they bear false witness (lie, adulation, profanity, perjury, rash judgment,
detraction, calumny, bragging) against their neighbour or fail to speak the Truth.
 When they fail to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, welcome the
stranger, care for the ill, visit the imprisoned.
RECONCILIATION MONDAY (14 April)
The Sacrament of Confession/Penance/Reconciliation
will be offered from 3:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.
in each of the 133 parishes
in the Diocese of Rockville Centre!
2014 Easter Novena
(20 April through 28 April)
A Solemn Novena of Holy Masses for both the living and deceased
will be offered at the Altar of Our Holy Redeemer
for nine consecutive days.
The Novena will begin on Easter Sunday, and Novena cards
featuring our “absolutely beautiful” Nativity, Cana, Crucifixion,
and Resurrection Stained Glass windows
will soon be available in the church and the rectory.

NEWS FROM THE DE LA SALLE SCHOOL
(516) 379-8660
State Champions! How great it was this past Sunday to have one of our four man teams recognized as
first in New York State and another merit second place ranking. What did they do? They participated
in the Future Problem Solving Program International competition at Molloy College. Future Problem
Solving Program International (www.FPSPI.org) stimulates critical and creative thinking skills,
encourages students to develop a vision for the future, and prepares students for leadership roles. Future Problem Solving
Program International involves thousands of students annually from Australia, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia,
New Zealand, Portugal, Singapore, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States. What a great honor to have the
teamwork, insight, and diligence of eight of our students recognized by this group.
Our five eighth graders (Carlos, James, Jordy, Justin, Brandon) and three seventh graders (Khalel, Jerry, Albert) did
preliminary work addressing the challenge of life in Beijing, China in 2037 with transportation problems causing so much
congestion that people are not able to get to work. The solution of the first place team, which involved the service of
drones, was presented in a skit that involved each of the four team members (Carlos, Khalel, Jordy, Justin). Carlos credited
adequate practice as a factor in staging their skit successfully. Khalel’s performance as a drone was exemplary. Justin
considered their effective use of a mandatory prop as significant. Jordy reflected that he learned from the approach of the
other teams that good solutions existed beyond those his team had considered.
Thanks to Dr. Kevin Sheehan from the Education Department at Molloy College and to Miss Breanna Podmore from our
faculty who coached our young men.

SCRIPTURE REFLECTION
In today’s Gospel we listen to a private conversation between the Lord and “a woman of
Samaria” who had come to a well “to draw water” (See John 4:5-42). As we meditate on their
conversation we realize that we all are this Samaritan woman, that we too have need for
Living Water. As Jesus calls the woman at the well to a new and greater reality He likewise
calls us to the same. As Jesus requests a drink of water, He is actually inviting her and us to
reflect on the meaning of our lives and asking all of us to consider something far greater than
she or we had ever thought. Do you thirst for Living Water? Do you thirst for something
more, something far greater than the world can give you? Then, use this Holy Season of Lent
to truly look for The Source of Living Water by Praying, Fasting and Giving Alms! You will be
truly satisfied and will be helping others to be likewise! The beautiful words of Isaiah remind us that He loves us
and calls us. “You who are thirsty come to the water and drink” (See Isaiah 55:1).

Now a Word from Our Saints
During the Holy Season of Lent
By: SAINT CYRIL OF JERUSALEM
CONCERNING THE UNITY OF GOD
ON THE ARTICLE, I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD
1. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Blessed also be His Only-begotten Son. For with the
thought of God let the thought of Father at once be joined, that the
ascription of glory to the Father and the Son may be made
indivisible. For the Father hath not one glory, and the Son another,
but one and the same, since He is the Father’s Only-begotten Son;
and when the Father is glorified, the Son also shares the glory with
Him, because the glory of the Son flows from His Father’s
honour: and again, when the Son is glorified, the Father of so
great a blessing is highly honoured …
7. For devotion it suffices us simply to know that we have a God; a
God who is One, a living, an ever-living God; always like unto
Himself; who has no Father, none mightier than Himself, no
successor to thrust Him out from His kingdom: Who in name is
manifold, in power infinite, in substance uniform. For though He is
called Good, and Just, and Almighty and Sabaoth, He is not on
that account diverse and various; but being one and the same, He
sends forth countless operations of His Godhead, not exceeding here and deficient there, but being in all
things like unto Himself. Not great in loving-kindness only, and little in wisdom, but with wisdom and lovingkindness in equal power: not seeing in part, and in part devoid of sight; but being all eye, and all ear, and
all mind: not like us perceiving in part and in part not knowing; for such a statement were blasphemous,
and unworthy of the Divine substance. He foreknoweth the things that be; He is Holy, and Almighty, and
excelleth all in goodness, and majesty, and wisdom: of Whom we can declare neither beginning, nor form,
nor shape. For ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape, saith Holy
Scripture. Wherefore Moses saith also to the Israelites: And take ye good heed to your own souls, for ye
saw no similitude. For if it is wholly impossible to imagine His likeness, how shall thought come near His
substance? …
9. One He is, everywhere present, beholding all things, perceiving all things, creating all things through
Christ: For all things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made. A fountain of every
good, abundant and unfailing, a river of blessings, an eternal light of never-failing splendour, an insuperable
power condescending to our infirmities: whose very Name we dare not hear. Wilt thou find a footstep of the
Lord? saith Job, or hast thou attained unto the least things which the Almighty hath made? If the least of
His works are incomprehensible, shall He be comprehended who made them all? Eye hath not seen, and
ear hath not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them
that love Him. If the things which God hath prepared are incomprehensible to our thoughts, how can we
comprehend with our mind Himself who hath prepared them? O the depth of the riches, and wisdom, and
knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! saith the
Apostle. If His judgments and His ways are incomprehensible, can He Himself be comprehended? …
11. Whence came the polytheistic error of the Greeks? God has no body: whence then the adulteries
alleged among those who are by them called gods? I say nothing of the transformations of Zeus into a
swan: I am ashamed to speak of his transformations into a bull: for bellowings are unworthy of a god. The
god of the Greeks has been found an adulterer, yet are they not ashamed: for if he is an adulterer let him
not be called a god. They tell also of deaths, and falls, and thunder-strokes of their gods. Seest thou from
how great a height and how low they have fallen? Was it without reason then that the Son of God came
down from heaven? or was it that He might heal so great a wound? Was it without reason that the Son
came? or was it in order that the Father might be acknowledged? Thou hast learned what moved the Onlybegotten to come down from the throne at God’s right hand. The Father was despised, the Son must needs
correct the error: for He Through Whom All Things Were Made must bring them all as offerings to the Lord
of all. The wound must be healed: for what could be worse than this disease, that a stone should be
worshipped instead of God?
13. Heretics have dared to say that there are two Gods, and of good and evil two sources, and these
unbegotten. If both are unbegotten it is certain that they are also equal, and both mighty. How then doth
the light destroy the darkness? And do they ever exist together, or are they separated? Together they
cannot be; for what fellowship hath light with darkness? saith the Apostle. But if they are far from each
other, it is certain that they hold also each his own place; and if they hold their own separate places, we are
certainly in the realm of one God, and certainly worship one God. For thus we must conclude, even if we
assent to their folly, that we must worship one God. Let us examine also what they say of the good
God. Hath He power or no power? If He hath power, how did evil arise against His will? And how doth the
evil substance intrude, if He be not willing? For if He knows but cannot hinder it, they charge Him with want
of power; but if He has the power, yet hinders not, they accuse Him of treachery. Mark too their want of
sense. At one time they say that the Evil One hath no communion with the good God in the creation of the
world; but at another time they say that he hath the fourth part only. Also they say that the good God is the
Father of Christ; but Christ they call this sun. If, therefore according to them, the world was made by the
Evil One, and the sun is in the world, how is the Son of the Good an unwilling slave in the kingdom of the
Evil? We bemire ourselves in speaking of these things, but we do it lest any of those present should from
ignorance fall into the mire of the heretics. I know that I have defiled my own mouth and the ears of my
listeners: yet it is expedient. For it is much better to hear absurdities charged against others, than to fall
into them from ignorance: far better that thou know the mire and hate it, than unawares fall into it. For the
godless system of the heresies is a road with many branches, and whenever a man has strayed from the
one straight way, then he falls down precipices again and again.

OUR HOLY REDEEMER ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
Spiritual Lenten Project
Pray for the Cause of Beatification and Canonization
of the
Venerable Father Anthony Vincent Gallo, S.C.J.
Diocesan Priest, Oblate of the Priests of the Sacred Heart
OUR HOLY REDEEMER has been making Saints in Freeport for over one hundred years and
this Lent, we have the opportunity to actually help Beatify and Canonize one of them: the
Venerable Father Anthony Vincent Gallo. Father Gallo was born the seventh of nine
children on 11 January 1899 at Monteforte, Irpino, in southern Italy and died in 1934 at the
young age of 35. His “Saintly” life can be discovered at www.fathergallo.com where the
inspiration will be found to pray for his miraculous intercession on behalf of yourself or
someone you know who is suffering. More information about Venerable Father Gallo,
including a special prayer for his beatification and canonization can also be found in the
vestibule of our church.
 UN MENSAJE DEL PASTOR 
RESISTA LA TENTACIÓN
Y
SOPORTE SU DIFICULTAD POR EL EVANGELIO
Ya sea que las usemos durante nuestra participación en la Misa o como parte
de nuestras oraciones durante el día, no nos metas en tentación son palabras
que la mayoría de nosotros usamos al hablar con Dios. Y aunque lo pedimos en
nuestras oraciones, (como Jesús nos enseñó), ¿cuántos de nosotros (sin ser
guiados por Dios) nos metemos en la tentación nosotros mismos; aunque en
esa misma conversación con Dios prometemos (en las palabras del Acto de
Contrición) evitar las ocasiones conductivas al pecado
Parece que no importa cuántas veces le pedimos al Padre que "no nos deje
caer en la tentación", y no importa cuántas veces le prometemos que vamos a
"evitar toda ocasión de pecado", que siempre surge la tentación, no sólo
cuando estamos solos "en el desierto", sino también cuando estamos con otras
personas "en el mundo" en los lugares en que vivimos, trabajamos, estudiamos
y jugamos. Así que la pregunta surge: "Una vez que se presenta la tentación,
¿cómo podemos resistirla?"
Padre nuestro,
que estás en el cielo.
Santificado sea tu nombre.
Venga tu reino.
Hágase tu voluntad en la
tierra como en el cielo.
Danos hoy nuestro pan de
cada día.
Perdona nuestras ofensas,
como también nosotros
perdonamos a los que nos
ofenden. No nos dejes caer
en tentación y líbranos del
mal. Amén.
 ¿Cómo resistir la tentación de tomar el Nombre del Señor en vano, perdernos la Misa del Domingo,
adorar dioses falsos, o cruzarnos de brazos cuando otros hacen esas cosas?
 ¿Cómo resistir la tentación de aceptar la invitación de “celebrar” uniones de personas con el mismo
sexo?
 ¿Cómo resistir la tentación de pensar que si uno está “actuando” se puede asesinar el carácter de
alguien o blasfemar, maldecir, cometer adulterio y participar en fornicación?
 ¿Cómo resistir la tentación de pensar que está bien apoyar la explotación de la mujer comprando
en Victoria’s Secret o suscribiéndose a Sports Illustrated y a esas “otras” revistas? (Recuerden mis
palabras: no van a ser sólo los no cristianos los que canonicen a Hugh Hefner, cuando llegue el
momento en el que él se enfrente a su Hacedor.)
 ¿Cómo resistir la tentación de pensar que está bien quitar la vida al niño en el vientre materno?
 ¿Cómo resistir la tentación de creer que está bien ayudar a alguien a suicidarse?
 ¿Cómo resistir la tentación de juzgar a otros sobre la base del color de su piel o su estado de
inmigración?
¡El modo de "resistir la tentación" es profundizar nuestra relación con nuestro Padre
Celestial! Esto es lo que Jesús hizo durante cuarenta días y noches en el desierto, y esto es
lo que el Santo tiempo de Cuaresma nos ofrece la oportunidad de hacer. ¡Regrese a Dios
con todo tu corazón! ¡Vaya a misa a diario! Pase tiempo en la Capilla de Adoración
Perpetua antes o después del trabajo. ¡Lea la Biblia todos los días! ¡Únase a un grupo de
oración, como la Legión de María o la Adoración Nocturna! O "simplemente" ve a tu
cuarto, cierra la puerta y ora a tu Padre que está en secreto. ¡Y tu Padre que ve en lo
secreto, te lo pagará! (San Mateo VI:6).
REFLEXIÓN SEMANAL
En el Evangelio de hoy escuchamos una conversación privada entre el Señor y “una mujer de
Samaria” que había ido al pozo “a sacar agua” (Vea Juan 4:5-42). A medida que meditamos en su
conversación nos damos cuenta de que todos nosotros somos la mujer Samaritana, que al igual
que ella nosotros también necesitamos del Agua de la Vida. Al llamar a la Samaritana a una nueva
y más grande realidad, Él también nos llama a nosotros a lo mismo. Al solicitar un trago de agua Él
nos invita a todos a reflexionar en el significado de nuestra vida y nos está pide que consideremos
algo más grande de lo que ella o nosotros nos habíamos imaginado. ¿Tiene usted sed de Agua
Viva? ¿Tiene usted sed de algo más grande que lo que el mundo le puede dar? Entonces, use esta
Santa Temporada Cuaresmal para realmente buscar la Fuente del Agua de la Vida. Esto lo dejará
totalmente satisfecho y le permitirá ayudar a otros a estarlo también. ¿Cómo? ¡Orando,
Ayunando y Dando Limosna! Las hermosas palabras de Isaías nos recuerdan que Él nos ama y nos
dice. “Ustedes los que tienen sed vengan al agua y beban” (Vea Isaías 55:1).

LIVING WATER
Jesus, tired from His journey, sat down at the well. A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus
said to her, “Give Me a drink.” The Samaritan woman said to Him, “How can You, a Jew, ask me, a
Samaritan woman for a drink?” Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God and Who
is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him and He would have given you living water.”
Saint John IV: 6-7, 9-10
