The Baptism of Our Lord....
Today is the Feast of the Baptism of the
Lord, the last day of the liturgical Christmas
season. The commemoration of Our Lord's
baptism in the River Jordan recalls the institution of this Sacrament. For Him it was the
marking point of the beginning of his divine
mission. For us, however, it is the Sacrament by which original sin is taken away. In
the case of an adult who is baptized, all sins
are removed. This Sacrament not only
cleanses the soul, but it makes us adopted
children of God. We become true sons and
daughters of Him by virtue of our being incorporated into the Church which is the
Body of his Son. It follows that because of
this, we become heirs to his Kingdom. Out
Father passes on to us what is his. We
have the best inheritance of all.
No one can take this inheritance from us,
and God certainly will not go back on his
word. Only we, ourselves can give up our
right to Heaven. When a person commits a
deliberate serious sin, that person in effect
destroys his inheritance. Fortunately, it can
once again be restored through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, that is, Confession.
Having been given the wonderful gift of faith
and Baptism, as well as the other Sacraments, we should naturally desire to share
this with others. Others should see Christ in
us. We can bring others to the faith. But in
order to share this faith, we must know
it. That is why we should keep up with our
knowledge of our religion.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church
(1994) is the official catechism of the
Church. It is a good reference work to have
in every household. There is always Eternal
Word Television Network on television, on
the web and on radio through the Internet.
There is a relatively new addition to radio
in our area; it's called Relevant Radio on
1430 AM. It is quite informative concerning matters of our faith. Also, check out
our parish web site -- http://stmichael.org/ -- for more links.
By gaining more authentic knowledge of
the Catholic faith, we have greater satisfaction. Moreover, we are better equipped
to help our friends and neighbors understand the truths God has given us and so
to love Him more and more. The more that
people know about God's Revelation, the
more can they love Him and be happy in
this life.

Our Thanksgiving food drive was a resounding
success --- we distributed 70 baskets to those in
need.
This year’s Giving Tree was also successful due to
the enthusiastic response of everyone. We donated
approximately 410 gifts to residents at St. Joseph’s
Home in Totowa, residents of Bergen Regional
Hospital long-term care facility, Veterans housed
in several group homes and the children and adults
helped by the Center for Hope & Safety (formerly
Shelter Our Sisters.) We are pleased to thank the
students and teachers of the North Arlington Middle School who contributed 75 gifts to the Veterans
and the Center for Hope & Safety. The contributions from the North Arlington Middle School
were made possible by Andrea Shafrin, a student
in the Middle School and in our Religious Education Program.
We thank all who contributed to these efforts with
food, turkeys, money and gifts. We also note with
gratitude a $200 donation from the BarringerLoPinto-Walker American Legion Post 139 charitable golf tournament, The Polish American Club
of Lyndhurst for several food donations and the
Lyndhurst Emblem Club for their $100 donation.
God bless the volunteers who provide hours of
work to the Pantry. This includes Thanksgiving
baskets, the Giving Tree and weekly packaging &
distribution of food.
