OUR LITURGY
Jonah is called by God to proclaim the time of
judgment to Nineveh. The people hear and reform their
lives. Paul calls the people to an awareness that Jesus
and the Spirit have brought about a new age. In the
Gospel, we hear that the reign of God is at hand. All are
called to reform their lives according to God’s will; to
love one another.

FROM THE DESK OF FR. MIKE
“ I tell you brothers and sisters, that time is
running out…For the world in its present form is
passing away.” “This is the time of fulfillment. The
Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the
gospel.”
Ever get the sense that there is not enough time to get
everything done? This is certainly true during the
Christmas and New Year’s Holidays, when it seems that we
cannot possibly get all of the shopping, the decorating
(inside and out) done, and then prepare for guests. Yet, in
most cases it all gets done, because we call upon strengths
or
talents we really didn’t know we had or don’t always want
to show to the rest of the world because we will be
expected to do it all the time. St. Mark’s Gospel and
St. Paul’s Letter this week reminds us that in reality there is
not a great deal of time at hand. While it is true in the early
days of the Church they expected Christ to come back
almost immediately, and we now we have been waiting for
over 2000 years for Christ to return. It is also true that we
do not know the hour or the day when Christ will come
back, and we can’t go around looking for signs or omens to
predict it. Remember, Jesus tells us in the Gospel that only
the Father in Heaven knows! So, we may have to wait
another 2000 years or we may have only another 2, or 3, or
20 years, who knows? What we do know, as we see in
today’s gospel, is the call is given and we are to act upon it,
and use those hidden strengths and talents for building the
Kingdom of God. It is every Christian’s job to do this, not
just the job of Bishops, Priests, Deacons, Religious
Brothers and Sisters or Professional Lay Church Workers.
It is everybody’s job and we must do our part, for we do
not have forever. No, we only have the time allotted to us
in this world to do our share. Keep in mind that Christ
Himself will ask us when we see Him face to face what
have done and what have we failed to do!
Notice if you will, how Mark’s Gospel is laid out.
Unlike Matthew, Luke or John there is no Infancy
Narrative or Prologue. Mark gets right to the point,
starting with John the Baptist, The Baptism of The Lord,
and then the call of the First Disciples. So, get busy just
like Mark is telling us! But how do I do my part, where
should I direct my strengths and talents? Follow the
Gospel Message
especially as seen in the story of the Good Samaritan, The
Beatitudes, Matthew Chapter 25, and The Prodigal Son,
and so much more. Pray become one with God by coming
to know God in Communal Prayer (as seen when we gather
for Mass and the celebration of the Sacraments), and
through our individual one-on-one prayer, in which we
share with God our entire life. Repent, change your life
move away from sin and believe in the Gospel, and answer
the call just like Simon (Peter), Andrew, James and John.
Last weekend we began this
year’s Catholic Ministries Appeal. After Special
Consideration, the Appeal Office has
given Saint Joseph’s the same goal as we had last year.
They reached this decision because they realized that we
did not reach the goal last year, but we came so close. So,
they wanted to give us another shot at reaching the goal
and finally realizing the full amount of the rebate coming
to St. Joseph’s. I do know that we can do it this year, and
we really should try because it is a win/win situation. The
more we raise the more we are helping our brothers and
sisters throughout the Diocese-in a way we could not help
them individually or as one parish. The more we raise,
the more we help St. Joseph’s. We do this in two ways!
One, some of the people helped through Catholic
Charities belong to our parish, the support given to our
Catholic Schools, helps our own St. Joseph’s School and
our students who attend Catholic High Schools. Support
given to the Ministries Appeal also supports Religious
Education in the Parishes, especially our program here
directed by Jane Favale, Cathy Foy, Gloria Napolitano
and the work of so many others. There is also Adult
Formation (The Pastoral Formation Institute, Masters of
Arts Degree in Theology –at the Seminary) and the
training of Deacons and Priests for service as Ordained
Ministers for the Diocese. In our parish, we have two
men studying to become Deacons and of course, several
members of our parish have become priests, and St.
Joseph’s has served as a wonderful training ground for
Pastoral Year Seminarians like Lachlan and Lee-The
Ministries Appeal helps make all this happen. The other
way we help St. Joseph’s is the more we raise, the more
of a rebate we receive and thus the Appeal becomes an
almost painless Fund Raiser. Please give to this
worthwhile Appeal, and if you have never made a
donation before, please consider it this year. If it has been
a while since you made a donation, now is the time to
reconsider, and if you gave last year, please give again,
and if you are able to make a higher donation (to help us
make our goal) please help. Thank you, so much in
advance for your wonderful support of the Catholic
Ministries Appeal and for helping St. Joseph’s get its full
share of the rebate.
Tomorrow following a special Mass at 4:30 AM, a bus
will leave St. Joseph’s for the Annual March on
Washington to protest against Abortion. If you are
making the trip or want to support those making it please
join us at the Mass or pray especially on this day to
change people’s hearts and minds.
Next week is the start of Catholic Schools Week and
we invite you to come and tour our own beautiful St.
Joseph’s School. See the bulletin for all the activities and
wonderful opportunities to our young people that a

RESPECT LIFE
Today as you read this, many people here in
our parish are preparing for the most
important Life event of the year, the 33rd
Annual March for Life. Those of us who are
not going to Washington, D.C. to do the
actual March will be praying for the success of the
purpose of the March, the reversal of Roe v. Wade. This
law allows for the legal killing of children, at no matter
the gestational age, one day or the whole nine months.
Dr. Seuss’ book, Horton Hears a Who, tells us that “a
person’s a person, no matter how small.” How true that
is. Consider that at fertilization, 23 chromosomes from
the father’s sperm & 23 chromosomes from the mother’s
ovum combine to form a brand new one-cell human
being, which is called a zygote, which is already
genetically an individual human being, & a “he” or a
“she.” Each of the 46 chromosomes is composed of
genes, or units of DNA, which contain all the genetic
information of the new life. Will he be tall? Will she have
blond hair? Will he be athletic? Will she be musical? Of
course, many other more serious matters will be decided
by those genes. Here’s how it goes for the first 11 weeks
of our new life:
24 hours The zygote divides to form a two-cell embryo.
Day 2 The cells continue to divide every 12 to 15 hours.
Day 3 Four cells divide to make 8, then 16.
Day 4 Early blastocyst stage. The growing embryo has
entered the uterus.
Day 7 Embryo seeks nourishment in the womb as
implantation begins.
Week 3 The heart begins to beat & neural folds &
divisions of the brain appear.
Week 5 The face is taking shape; the forehead, eyes,
nostrils & mouth are evident; external ears are beginning;
hands & feet are forming.
Week 6 Brain waves can be measured!
Week 8 The stomach, liver, kidneys & brain are
functioning. Fingerprints have formed.
Week 11 Now 3 inches long, all of the baby’s organs are
complete & functioning. The baby breathes (fluid),
swallows, digests, sleeps, wakes & has developed all the
body parts required to experience pain. From this point
on, all the child needs to become a healthy newborn is
nourishment & time to grow.
Pope John Paul II, in his homily at Giant Stadium in
1995, urged that “As Americans & as followers of Christ,
American Catholics must be committed to the defense of
life in all its stages & in every condition.”
