At this feast, “The Lord God will wipe away the tears from every face.” It is this feast that fulfills the promise in the second reading that “God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” The joy of a feast becomes an image of the joyous event of the union of our life with God’s life, when God will consummate human history, wipe away all its tears, and fill every cup to overflowing. In the Eucharist that we celebrate every Sunday we share already in the feast. We come, week after week, to have our lives joined to the life of God, to have our tears wiped away, to have our cups filled to overflowing. We have been called, like the guests in the parable, to the wedding supper of the Lamb who has taken away our sins. But the parable is also a warning not to take lightly so great a call. Though the actions of the king in the parable seem extreme, burning down the cities of those who reject the invitation and throwing out those who arrived underdressed, the very exaggeration of those actions drive home the point that this is a call to the feast of life itself; to decline that invitation is to reject the gift of life that is offered. The invitation ought neither be ignored nor accepted lightly; we are to adorn our souls with the wedding garment of love, a garment that, as St. Gregory the Great put it, is woven of two strands of wool; love of God and love of neighbor (Homily 37). How we respond to God’s invitation is a matter of life and death, and our weekly presence at the wedding feast of the Lamb is an obligation that we should joyfully fulfill: the obligation to let our lives be joined to God’s, to let our tears be wiped away, to let our cup be filled to overflowing. Lord Jesus, you invite us to the banquet of your love. Help us to respond to that invitation with our hearts adorned with love of God and neighbor. #417 St. Jerome YOUR WEEKLY GIFT TO GOD Sunday, October 4th: Regular Contributions $ 7,300 Weekly budget 10,525 Difference –3,225 St. Jerome Feast 3,338 Number of Registered Parishioners 2,000 Number of Envelopes Used -430 *Parishioners who need to use envelopes 1,570 Thirteen parishioners caught up with their donations. *Give to God with love by placing your gift inside the offering envelopes.

Collection for Mission Sunday World Mission Sunday, organized by the Propagation of the Faith, is a day set aside for Catholics worldwide to recommit themselves to the Church's missionary activity through prayer and sacrifice. Every year the needs of the Catholic Church in the Missions grow - as new dioceses are formed, as new seminaries are opened because of the growing number of young men hearing Christ's call to follow Him as priests, as areas devastated by war or natural disaster are rebuilt, and as other areas, long suppressed, are opening up to hear the message of Christ and His Church. That is why the involvement and commitment of Catholics from around the world is so urgently needed. Next weekend is the National Collection for Mission Sunday. Please be generous. Devotions to Mary The month of October is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary. We take this time to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in gratitude for the protection she gives the Church in answer to the praying of the Rosary by the faithful. Please join the Legion of Mary during rosary and devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary every Tuesday of October at 7:30pm in the Lower Church. All are invited. RCIA REGISTRATION 2014 The Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process by which adults are brought into the Catholic Church. Adults wishing to become members of the Catholic Church go through a process of preparation for a period of time and are then welcomed by the congregation at the Easter Vigil Mass. Interested adults should contact the rectory office at (718) 462-0223.
