The common theme of today's Scripture Readings is the abundant providence of God and His universal salvation, exemplified in a 'luscious feast.' God loves all and wants all to be saved and to attain eternal happiness. In the First Reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah, Isaiah speaks of the abundant providence of the Lord of hosts for all peoples. Here, we have a very clear graphic description of the 'great banquet' that the Lord will prepare on the mountain for all peoples. There will be rich food and fine wines. There will be neither mourning nor death. There will be exultation and rejoicing, because the Lord 'has saved us.' Isaiah’s image of salvation is the fulfillment of our deepest longings, viz. the absence of hunger, mourning, death and shame. The Gospel Reading from St. Matthew contains a parable which likens the Kingdom of Heaven to a 'wedding feast' to which all are graciously invited. Some have rejected the invitation; others have accepted. But admission to the feast is not enough. It is necessary to don the wedding garment. Participation in the feast requires living lives worthy of the Kingdom. In the Second Reading from St. Paul's Letter to the Philippians, the following words of St. Paul can be linked to the imagery of banquet and feasting, “In every circumstance and in all things, I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry, of living in abundance and of being in need.” Indeed, his deep participation at the Lord’s Table has prepared him to relish abundance and feasting as well as to endure hunger and various difficulties in times of scarcity. Again, in the familiar Responsorial Psalm of today, we sing, “The Lord prepares a banquet for us in the sight of our foes.” This song of thanksgiving to the Lord is a prelude to the Eucharist we celebrate this Sunday WEEKLY OFFERING October 6, 2013 - $4101.00 October 5, 2014 - $3535.00 OCTOBER 13 – MONDAY “THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY” SHOP RITE CERTIFICATES ARE AVAILABLE FOR SALE AFTER ALL THE MASSES IN THE VESTIBULE OF THE CHURCH.

RECTORY OFFICE WILL BE TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME First Reading: Isaiah 25:6-10a This passage describes the new Jerusalem as a heavenly banquet on the mountain with the Lord God wiping away all tears. .Second Reading: Philippians 4:12-14, 19-20 In simple, direct words, Paul thanks the Philippians for alleviating his hardships. He stresses, though, that he is as accustomed to poverty as to abundance and finds all his strength in Christ Gospel: Matthew 22:1-14 Once more speaking to the chief priests and the elders, Jesus relates the parable of the wedding banquet. A King, preparing a wedding banquet for his son, summons all the Invited guests. When, after several invitations, no guests arrive, the King commands his servants to “go out into the by roads and invite anyone you come upon.” Again, Jesus warns the elders, “the invited are many, the elect are few.” Monday: October 13 Gal 4:22-24, 26-27, 31—5:1; Lk 11:29-32 Tuesday: October 14 St. Callistus, Pope and Martyr Gal 5:1-6; Lk 11:37-41 Wednesday: October 15 St. Theresa of Jesus, Virgin and Dr. of Church Gal 5:18-25; Lk 11:42-46 Thursday: October 16 St. Hedwig, Religious and St. Margaret Mary Virgin Eph 1:1-10; Lk 11:47-54 Friday: October 17 St. Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop and Martyr Eph 1:11-14; Lk 12:1-7 Saturday: October 18 St. Luke, Evangelist 2 Tm 4:10-17b; Lk 10:1-9 Held every Thursday after the 8:30 am Mass until 8:00pm.: 3:00 pm. – Divine Mercy Chaplet 7:00 pm. – Evening Prayer 7:30 pm. – Novena to St. Jude 8:00 pm. – Benediction There is a sign-up sheet in the back of the Church for those wishing to spend an hour with the Lord.

Yenesel, Yvonne Zaccone, DAY 1: I ‘M HERE! the moment the nuclei of the father’s sperm and the mother’s egg unite, a new and unrepeatable human being comes into the world, complete with his or her own unique set of DNA. The new little person’s sex is also determined from the beginning. This tiny human begins her life as a single cell, gliding down the fallopian tube. In just a few days, she will snuggle into the soft lining of her mother’s womb, where she will be nurtured for about 9 months. After birth she will play a unique role within her own family and community – a role only she can fulfill. All she needs is time, nourishment and most of all, love. Theresa B. Cordts, Psy.
