FromthePastor’sDesk
Welcome! What a wonderful word to hear from
family, friends, and even strangers. That simple word
fills us with joy, takes away anxiety, and makes us feel
accepted. Today we celebrate Palm Sunday and see
the welcome Jesus received when He came into
Jerusalem. He was welcomed by the crowds as they
paved the way not with a red carpet but with palm
branches. His reputation as a preacher, teacher, and
healer had obviously preceded Him. But as we saw in
last Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus knew what was going to
happen. He prayed that the Father’s name would be
glorified. Human glory was seen in the lifetime of some
of us when we saw our nation send people to land on
the moon and return to earth. Human glory is seen in
the wonder of technology that we have with computers
and all that they do in so many ways. When a team
wins the World Series or the Super Bowl there is
usually a parade in their hometown to proclaim the
glory of victory. We see the glory of patriotism in those
who give their lives in service to our nation without
counting the cost. The road to glory is not easy; it
takes commitment, dedication, hard work, and
passion. The road to glory for Jesus was coming to its
completion as He entered Jerusalem on that first Palm
Sunday. He had preached with clarity about God’s
desire to love us and invite us into His life now and for
all eternity. Many people were miraculously cured by
His healing touch and presence. Sinners were
forgiven, even in the face of skepticism and
objection. And in all that we see Jesus do as we read
the Scriptures, we cannot help to be inspired by how
time and time again He got up early or went to a quiet
place to pray to the Father. How life giving were those
moments for Him.
Knowing that this welcome would not bring Him
acceptance and would ultimately lead to betrayal,
denial, rejection, and an unjust sentence of death, He
willingly rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. By the next
Sunday many significant events in His life and, just as
importantly in our lives as believers, would take place.
The ritual of the Passover Meal on Holy Thursday was
transformed into the institution of the Eucharist and
Priesthood. Jesus assured His disciples and all who
believe in Him that His approaching death would not
end His love for us or our relationship with Him. Try to
find some time this week and read chapters 13-17 in
St. John’s Gospel where we see Jesus speaking to His
disciples at the Last Supper and giving them the
example of service by washing their feet. On Good
Friday we are invited to focus on the ultimate act of
sacrificial love as Jesus undergoes His arrest, passion,
and death. How soon the welcome and acceptance of
Palm
Sunday
turned
into
rejection
and
condemnation. Yet in a little more than a day, we
celebrate His Resurrection from the dead as we gather
for the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday evening and
continue our celebration with our Masses on Easter
Sunday. The unwelcome and rejected one rose and
appeared to His disciples, assuring them that they are
still loved by Him and welcomed into His life.
There is no doubt about Jesus’ desire to welcome us
into His presence. Accepting the invitation to be with
Him enables us to see that He is the presence of our
Risen God, He is God Himself welcoming us into His
very mind and heart. We always look forward to being
with the people we know and love and the people who
know and love us. Jesus knows us better than we know
ourselves and passionately desires to welcome us and
envelope us with His life-giving love. To truly be
embraced and given life by His presence, we need to
look at how welcome He is to our presence, how
welcome He is in our minds and hearts. When we truly
love someone and welcome their presence in our lives,
we rise above doubts, fear, regret, guilt, and the
busyness of our fast-paced society. None of us is
perfect, but knowing we are loved and welcomed into
the lives of others puts light, hope, peace, and meaning
into our lives. This Holy Week is a time out from the
ordinary routine of our lives as people of faith. It is a
wonderful to welcome the opportunity to be with Jesus
in the liturgies on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy
Saturday and Easter Sunday. We are also invited to
experience the refreshing mercy of God in the
Sacrament of Penance this coming Monday from 3:00
to 9:00 PM as well as on Good Friday after the 3:00 PM
Stations and the Liturgy at 7:30 PM. Confessions will
also be offered on Holy Saturday from 3:45 to 4:45
PM. God is inviting us to know the power of His
welcoming presence.
To accept the warm, loving welcome of those who
know and love us is to take them seriously. Their love
takes away any uneasiness or feelings of unworthiness
in ourselves. Each time we welcome them with open
minds and hearts, humble, joyful gratitude fills our very
being. All that is good, all that is positive, all that unites
us in the best sense possible is founded on recognizing
how welcome we are and the welcome we extend in
return. St. Irenaeus had a powerful, simple saying that
said, “The glory of God is man fully alive.” When we
realize how welcome and loved we are by God that
welcome and love inspires, invigorates, and impels us
to welcome Him and to welcome all those He entrusts
to our presence. Fully alive we radiate the power of
God’s presence and are the living, life giving Church in
our families, communities, work places, schools,
gatherings, and world.
May the blessed Palms we take home today remind
us of how welcoming Jesus is to us and how good life is
when we welcome Him in return.

Don’t Forget Our Parish Lenten Project!
If you ever want to feel appreciated, go to Dobro, Ghana and mention that you are from St. Patrick Parish in
Smithtown, N.Y. Thanks to the generous contributions of St. Patrick parishioners, the people of Holy Family
Parish in Dobro are realizing a dream that most thought they would never see in their lifetimes—a church
building. Holy Family Parish has never had a church building. All Masses and Liturgies have been celebrated
outside at the mercy of the elements.
Fr. George Akyeampong (our connection to the Ghana parish) recently sent us video of work being done on
the church. It concludes with Mass being celebrated on the church site. We added a few captions and
have uploading the video to our website—www.stpatricksmithtown.org. Please take a few minutes to see
beautiful work made possible by the people of our parish. And please donate to this very wonderful project
this Lent!!

As we prepare for Easter, St. Patrick’s will offer extra confession time on Monday, March 30th
from 3 to 9 PM and following the 3 PM Stations of the Cross and the 7:30 PM Celebration of
the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday. Whether it has been a few weeks since you went to
confession or many years, we encourage you to come and celebrate this beautiful sacrament
of healing. Below are brief instructions on how to celebrate this sacrament followed by an
Examination of Conscience for Children and for Adults.
How to Celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation
Prepare. Prayerfully recall your sins. Some will be specific actions. Some represent a more general
pattern of behavior.
Go to the priest. Be welcome. You may either kneel anonymously behind a screen or sit in a chair where
you speak face to face. Make the Sign of the Cross and indicate the interval since your last confession. If you are
unsure of how to proceed, ask the priest for assistance. He will be happy to help you.
Confess your sins. Some penitents begin with a formula like, “ Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.” But
you don’t have to. Let the priest know your sins. You may discuss the sins you confess so the priest can give you
the best counsel.
Receive a penance. The priest will recommend some action after you leave to indicate to God the
sincerity in your heart. Sometimes he suggests prayer, sometimes an act of kindness.
Pray for forgiveness. The priest will invite you to say an Act of Contrition aloud. If you do not remember
the Act of Contrition, two versions are listed below. A card containing the Act of Contrition is also available in the
confessional.
One form of the Act of Contrition is: My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong
and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your
help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and
died for us. In his name, my God have mercy. Or , Lord Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Examination of Conscience for Children
using The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed by Thy name.
·
Do I think about God every day?
· Do I say my prayers?
· Do I pay attention and participate at Mass?
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
· Am I kind to others?
· Do I do what Jesus wants me to do?
· Do I share with others?
· Am I helpful to my family?
· Do I show respect to my teachers and classmates?
Give us this day our daily bread
· Do I remember to say thank you?
· Am I sometimes greedy?
· Do I appreciate the good things I have in my life?
· Do I think of ways to help those who have no food?
· Do I take things that don’t belong to me?
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
· Do I say I’m sorry when I have been wrong?
· Do I forgive and forget when someone does something
bad to me?
· Do I help solve problems between my friends or do I cause
more trouble?
· Do I say bad things about people who have hurt me?
Lead us not into tempta on, but deliver us from evil
· Do I play fairly in sports and games?
· Do I cheat in school?
· Do I tell the truth?
· Do I set a good example by my kindness?
· Do I let other kids tempt me to do things I know I shouldn’t do?
Some thoughts on examination of conscience for adults:
An examination of conscience is more than an effort to come up with
a grocery list of sins. Rather, it should be part of the rhythm of our
daily lives on our way toward maturity. It is not so much looking at the
things we do, but rather, at the person who does them. Each of us is
a relational and responsible person, and it is within this context that
we grow further toward or away from our goal -- Christ.
THINK OF YOURSELF AS A PERSON.
Do you accept yourself with your good and bad points? Do you share yourself with others?
Do you realize you have been called by, loved by God in a unique way?
Do you treat others with dignity and respect? Do you use your sexuality irresponsibly or selfishly?
Do you exploit others for your own pleasure?
THINK OF YOURSELF AS A HUSBAND OR WIFE.
Do you strive for understanding and communication with your spouse in order to be one spirit as planned by
God?
THINK OF YOURSELF AS A FATHER OR MOTHER.
Do you give your children yourself, your time, your abilities?
Do you correct them when they are wrong, praise them when you should, instruct them with gentleness and
patience?
Are you aware of your responsibility to guide them in the faith by your words and actions?
Do you apologize and admit when you’re wrong and they’ve been right?
THINK OF YOURSELF AS AN ADULT CHILD.
Do you realize that the command to “honor your father and mother” applies to you (as it does to your children) if
you are blessed to still have your parents?
THINK OF YOURSELF AS A NEIGHBOR.
Do you realize that your neighbor is your brother and sister?
Do you try to be helpful when you know there is a need?
Do you respect your neighbor’s rights and allow them to be persons?
Do you make judgments about people based on their appearance or color?
Do you harbor prejudice in your heart?
THINK OF YOURSELF AS AN EMPLOYEE, AS AN EMPLOYER.
Do you give your employer all of your time during the hours he is paying you, realizing that “stealing time” is the
same as stealing?
Do you give your employer your full efforts and concentration during working hours?
Do I pay a just wage? Do I provide adequate working conditions?
THINK OF YOURSELF AS A MEMBER OF THE WORLD COMMUNITY OF THE FAMILY OF GOD.
Do you sufficiently reflect on the responsibility you have to be concerned about the other members of this family
who are suffering from poverty, prejudice, unfair labor practices, unjust housing laws, and other various causes?
Do you take it as a responsibility to consider the morality involved in issues like abortion, euthanasia, denial of
rights to migrant workers, corruption in political or economic structures?
Do you take it as your responsibility to be informed about current events and to listen with open minds and
hearts to those holding different positions?
THINK OF YOURSELF IN YOUR DIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
Do you make the effort to spend some time with Him each day, even if it’s just to say “good morning” or
“thanks?”
Do you seek to know Him better in whatever way suits you best?
Do you allow Him to give Himself often to you in the gifts of His sacraments of Eucharist and Penance?

Divine Mercy Celebration
April 12th from 2:30 to 4:00 PM
in the church
Holy Hour and Confessions
"The paschal mystery is the culmination of this revealing and effecting of mercy, which is able to justify
man, to restore justice in the sense of that salvific order which God willed from the beginning in man,
and through man, in the world" (Encyclical Letter Dives in misericordia, n. 7).
"And so with provident pastoral sensitivity and in order to impress deeply on the souls of the faithful
these precepts and teachings of the Christian faith, the Supreme Pontiff, John Paul II, moved by the
consideration of the Father of Mercy, has willed that the Second Sunday of Easter be dedicated to
recalling with special devotion these gifts of grace and gave this Sunday the name, "Divine Mercy
Sunday" (Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Decree Misericors et
miserator, 5 May 2000).
Plenary Indulgence
(1) Sacramental confession,
(2) (2) Eucharistic reception,
(3) Pray for the intentions of Supreme Pontiff
Specific conditions for this Indulgence on Divine Mercy Sunday
• in any church or chapel, in a spirit that is completely detached from the affection for a sin, even a
venial sin, take part in the prayers and devotions held in honor of Divine Mercy
or, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed or reserved in the tabernacle, recite the
Our Father and the Creed, adding a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus (e.g. Merciful Jesus, I
trust in you!")
"It is important then that we accept the whole message that comes to us from the word of God on this Second
Sunday of Easter, which from now on throughout the Church, will be called ‘Divine Mercy Sunday.' "
- Pope St. John Paul II April 30, 2000.
Holy Land Collection
On Good Friday, our parish will take up the annual Good Friday Collection
for the Holy Land. Each day, the news reminds us of the violence and
instability plaguing the Middle East, but we rarely hear of the shrinking
Christian community there, a community that struggles to remain in the
land of Christ’s birth, death and resurrection. Please help support our
brothers and sisters in the Holy Land by giving to the Good Friday
Collection. This Pontifical Collection allows the Franciscans and others to
continue caring for Christianity’s holiest sites and for God’s people in the
Holy Land. Please be generous.
Please continue to say the following prayers each day
as we seek God’s guidance, strength and courage
Gracious God, we are your people embraced by your love. We thank you for your presence with us throughout all time.
Create us anew. Liberate us from that which keeps us from you. Enable us to recreate our world and restore justice.
Heal us from every form of sin and violence. Transform us to live your Word more profoundly. Reconcile us so enemies
become friends. Awaken us to the sacred; nurture our relationships; enliven our parishes; reunite our families. Fill us with
joy to celebrate the fullness of life. Empower us to be a community of love growing in your likeness. Amen.
Thank you Father for the gift of life. Thank you for the gift of your Son, Jesus. May my gratitude inspire and sustain me in
doing everything I can to respect the lives of all people and to do all in my power to end abortion and everything else that
harms, abuses, or threatens human life. Give me the courage and strength to live in your image each day. Amen.
Please pray the following prayer for our brothers and sisters in the
Middle East who are suffering terrible persecution for their faith:
Lord, the plight of our brothers and sisters is deep and the suffering of Christians is severe and frightening. Therefore, we
ask you Lord to spare their lives to grant them patience and courage to continue their witness of Christian values with
trust and hope. Lord, peace is the foundation of life; Grant us the peace and stability that will enable us to live with each
other without fear and anxiety, and with dignity and joy. Glory be to you forever.
The symbol to the right (the Arabic letter “N” for Nazarene) is being used to mark
Christians in Iraq for persecution.

Reflections on the Sunday Scriptures
April 5, 2015
Easter Sunday
Readings: Acts 10: 34A, 37-43;
Colossians 3: 1-4 or 1 Corinthians 5: 6B-8;
John 20: 1-9
On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came
to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still
dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb. So
she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other
disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They
have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t
know where they put him.” So Peter and the other
disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both
ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and
arrived at the tomb first; he bent down and saw the
burial cloths there, but did not go in. When Simon
Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and
saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had
covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled
up in a separate place. Then the other disciple also
went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first,
and he saw and believed. For they did not yet
understand the Scripture that he had to rise from the
dead.
Attention
Level
2
Students:
For
your
convenience, copies of the cards on which you write
your gospel reflections will be included in the bulletin
most Sundays. Feel free to use the form below and to
make copies. Your reflection may be dropped into the
collection basket as your gift to our parish. (Please
provide your first and last name. Only first names will
be used in the bulletin.)
---------------------------------- -----
Focus Questions:
1. The last line in the gospel states that the apostles
did not understand that Jesus had to rise from the
dead. How do you understand what happened to
Jesus on Easter?
2. Relate a time when you saw a sign of Resurrection
in your life.
3. Jesus died on Good Friday. On Easter, his
apostles found his tomb empty. Describe a time
when good came out of a seemingly hopeless
situation.
Children and Family Reflections:
Where do you see new life in your yard or in your
family?
Please remember to keep our priests in your prayers. This week we ask
that you pray especially for the following priests from our diocese:
Pray for
our
Priests

Words of Wisdom from our Level 2 Students
Second grade students from our Religious Formation Program and our school are asked to read the “Children and
Family Reflection” column in the bulletin and write down their thoughts on cards provided for them. They then drop
the cards in the collection basket on Sunday as their contribution to our parish. Below are a few reflections on our
gospel reading by our second graders.
Gospel Reading: John 3: 14-21

Why do so many expectant mothers choose St. Catherine?
Perhaps it’s our extraordinary reputation for compassionate

ICU, nursery and comfortable, private birthing suites. Or,
thoughtful innovations like our new, private postpartum unit. In
this peaceful setting, experienced nurses help you recover from
delivery in a warm, pampered and homelike atmosphere. After
all, as a new mom, you need a little babying, too.
