Leonard N. Peterson Many Catholics today may be missing the point in the way they make their moral decisions and they are passing on their error to their children. Here is a segment from the book Still the Best Hope by Dennis Prager, in which he quotes from a column by David Brooks of the New York Times: Director Mrs. Aileen Mary O’Brien 609-448-0141, ext. 21 Email:[email protected] Office hours: 9-3 PM Monday – Friday Director’s Hours: Office: Monday 10-4; 5-9 PM CCD Tuesday 10-4 PM office, 5-9 CCD, Wednesday 9-4 office, 5-6:30 PM CCD, Thursday 10-4 PM office, CCD 5-9 PM, Friday 9-4 office. We are closed Sat. and Sun. Director’s Corner: “What has supplanted belief in the existence of moral truths are feelings about what is moral. Many children have been raised to ask, ‘How do I feel about it?’ rather than ‘Is it right or wrong?’ …This has been confirmed by an extensive study of Americans ages eighteen to twenty-three conducted by the sociologist Christian Smith of Notre Dame University and discussed by New York Times columnist David Brooks: ‘When asked to describe a moral dilemma they had faced, two-thirds of the young people either couldn’t answer the question or described problems that are not moral at all… Moral thinking didn’t enter the picture, even when considering things like drunken driving, cheating in school or cheating on a partner. ‘I don’t really deal with right and wrong that often’ is how one interviewee put it… The default position, which most of them came back to again and again, is that moral choices are just a matter of individual taste. As one put it, ‘I mean, I guess what makes something right is how I feel about it. But different people feel different ways, so I couldn’t speak on behalf of anyone else as to what’s right or wrong.’ (David Brooks concludes): ‘Morality was once revealed, inherited and shared, but now it’s thought of as something that emerges in the privacy of your own heart.’” We have been enlightened by Baptism into Christ. We know the point of today’s Scripture Readings is to emphasize that there truly is an objective morality, one based in God, and that it is still, for every generation presently alive and those yet to be born, a morality that has been revealed, inherited, and meant to be shared. To think otherwise is to think like the benighted Pharisees. Put another way, it is to pretend that your health club membership card itself is what gets you in shape.

Michael Brizio, IMC will be helping us the last Thursday of each month for confession or counsel in the church from 7pm to 8:30pm. If you are interested in an appointment, please let us know in the church office. First Reading: Isaiah 45:1, 4-6 God commissions Cyrus as king, and gives him direction, all for the sake of His chosen people of Israel. Second Reading: I Thessalonians 1:1-5b Paul thanks God for the dynamic faith of the Thessalonians, as expressed in their lifestyle, exemplifying their nature as chosen by God. Gospel: Matthew 22:15-21 The Pharisees, reputed for their knowledge of the law, apparently have no problem using the illegal means of entrapment against Jesus. Of course, they are ignorant of who Jesus is. “O inexhaustible spring of Divine Mercy, pour yourself out upon us! Your Goodness knows not limits. Confirm, O Lord, the power of Your mercy over the abyss of my misery, for You have no limit to Your mercies.” -St. Maria Faustina Kowalska In today’s Gospel, (Matthew 22:15-21), the Pharisees and the Herodians are trying to trap Jesus in the things he says. Our Lord answers them with a riddle-like response. To sum up the meaning of the Gospel, Jesus is saying the Jews need to fulfill their civil duties, while they remember to put God first.

Guard me as the apple of your eye; in the shadow of your wings protect me. Psalm 17:6,8 Having the strength and faith to continue to believe in the presence of God in all of creation in the face of horrific inhumanity, can only be a gift from God. Nothing less than the depth of grace given to Mary, the mother of Jesus, at the foot of the cross, can account for Etty Hillesum's ability to continue to love and hope while in Westerbork Concentration Camp. This young Jewish woman watched thousands of her fellow Jews led off to death. She watched her parents taken away to another camp in Poland. She endured loss of family and friends, deprivation, humiliation and physical suffering and continued to love and hope. Etty Hillesum's example can give us hope when we are surrounded by news of violence and atrocities. She continues to exemplify for us a loving human being who, because of her relationship with God, never hates or seeks revenge. “You have made me so rich, oh God, please let me share out Your beauty with open hands. My life has become an uninterrupted dialogue with You, oh God., one great dialogue. Sometimes when I stand in some corner of the camp, my feet planted on Your earth, my eyes raised towards Your Heaven, tears sometimes run down my face, tears of deep emotion and gratitude. At night, too, when I lie in my bed and rest in You, oh God, tears of gratitude run down my face, and that is my prayer. I have been terribly tired for several days, but that, too, will pass; things come and go in a deeper rhythm and people must be taught to listen to it, it is the most important thing we have to learn in this life. I am not challenging You, oh God, my life is one great dialogue with You...And all my creative powers are translated into inner dialogues with You; the beat of my heart has grown deeper, more active and yet more peaceful, and it is as if I were all the time storing up inner riches” Westerbork, 18 August 1943 from An Interrupted Life, The Diaries of Etty Hillesum 1941-43 Etty Hillesum died at Auschwitz in November 1943.

Non-polio Enterovirus Prevention There is no vaccine to protect you from enterovirus infection. Since many infected people do not have symptoms, it is difficult to prevent enteroviruses from spreading. Learn the Right Way to Wash Your Hands You can help protect yourself and others from non-polio enterovirus infections by— x Washing your hands often with soap and water, especially after using the toilet and changing diapers, x Avoiding close contact, such as touching and shaking hands, with people who are sick, and x Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched sur- faces. Treatment There is no specific treatment for non-polio enterovirus infection. People with mild illness caused by non-polio enterovirus infection typically only need symptom treatment. They usually recover completely. However, some illnesses caused by non-polio enteroviruses can be severe enough to require hospitalization. If you are concerned about your symptoms, you should contact your health care provider. Source: cdc.gov/non-polio-enterovirus/about/prevention-treatment.html Collection We are still accepting donations for a number of our people working with horses in stables in the racing industry. Many need help with basic necessities such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap or new socks and T-shirts. If you are able to help, please bring your donation to the church office or contact Fr. Pat with any questions. Is God Calling You? Vocational discernment groups meet to assist young men who are discerning the possibility that God may be calling them to a life of priestly ministry. These groups are designed to explore a priestly vocation through prayer and sharing vocation stories and experiences. The group meetings are not meant to convince anyone that the priesthood is their vocation. They are designed to assist in discovering if the priesthood is your true vocation and build your relationship with Christ along the way. If you are a faithful, single, roman Catholic man, between the ages of 18 & 40 and are asking yourself whether God is calling you to be a priest, you are cordially invited to attend a discernment meeting on Oct. 26th at St. Gregory the Great Parish. Please register with the Diocese of Trenton Vocation Office: [email protected] or call 609 406-7449. 5 Building Fund/Capital Campaign Fund A big THANK YOU to all those who continue to support our monthly Building/Capital Campaign Fund by making their generous donations. We continue to pay our monthly mortgage payments of $8,446.86 and now have only 11 more payments to make totaling $92,915.46 and will be paid off in August of 2015. Along with these important loan payments we continue to provide the proper maintenance and repairs required to keep our buildings and grounds in pristine condition, all the while paying very close attention to costs. We are proud to say that our maintenance costs have been reduced substantially this year over the previous several. Over and above the day to day maintenance and repairs there still are plans for several projects that will require substantial investments. As noted previously, the parking lot and concrete walks are a concern and will need to be addressed, along with our sound and computer system and backup power. Once the mortgage is paid off it will free up funds that will enable us to make these necessary improvements, which is why your continued support of the Building/Capital Campaign Fund is so important. In the meantime we will continue our current maintenance program to keep the building and grounds safe and in the best condition. The Mass Offering Total for October 12: $13,150.82. Your donations are important; they help Saint Anthony of Padua continue the good work in the parish and the community. Please remember the Parish in your Wills and in your Estate Planning. Catholic Annual Appeal Each year the Bishop seeks the support of all diocese members to further the work of our ministries. We all have a vital part in what we do in Christ’s name; we can all share in what we do with a gift to the Catholic Annual Appeal. When we make a gift to the appeal, we follow the command that we are One Family, Our Family in Christ with every fiber of our lives. This year St. Anthony of Padua’s share of the goal is $63,000; pledged to date:: $62,150.00 paid to date:: $53,322.50. I am always grateful and moved by the level of support you give to our parish; thank you! May God continue to bless you and your family. ***The Annual Catholic Appeal in Action*** Why is the Annual Catholic Appeal Important? Care of our Ordained, Supporting our Seminarians used We provide assistance to the retired clergy of our diocese with quality healthcare, housing, and on-going educational and formative programs. And for those who have been called to pursue a vocation as a priest, the diocese offers support with tuition, room, board, books and healthcare. If you have not donated or pledged to the Annual Catholic Appeal please consider doing so. Your support of the parish is very important. It is also important to support the Diocese of Trenton for programs that provide valuable ministerial resources for the parish and diocesan programs that support services for the poor, food for the hungry, and education for our children of faith. On a Diocese level we can do more than any one parish can do alone. MINISTRIES Antonian Seniors: St. Anthony of Padua Parishioners 50 years and older are welcome to join our Senior Club.

La pregunta de los herodianos es asunto espinoso, entonces y ahora. Así, por ejemplo, un tratado judío decía: “no trates de evitar el tributo, no sea que te descubran y te quiten todo lo que tienes”. Es más, los rabinos discutían si estaba permitido esquivar el tributo al Cesar. Por eso, le piden aunque con maldad – un consejo autorizado “¿Estas permitido?” ¿Es licito” Había muchos impuestos. El imperio romano se sostenía sobre el complejo y excesivo sistema de impuestos. Había impuestos por la tierra y por cada persona, pero por el transporte de bienes, esclavos o animales; de compraventa, sobre herencias creando por Octaviano en el an6 6 D.C. sobre traspasos de propiedad, y el que se pagaba por licencia de negocios y oficios organizados. A este último se refiere el Evangelio. Unos funcionarios hipócritas. Los herodianos eran partidarios de la familia reinante. El texto lo relata cómo hipócritas; fingen preocuparse por una cuestión de actualidad pero, en realidad, solo le están poniendo una trampa a Jesús. Ningún poder y nadie que lo ejerza se pueden adueñar de las personas. Anta la trampa Jesús les piden que le muestren la moneda del tributo; una moneda romana, la única válida para pagar. Tenía acunada la imagen del emperador. Existe mucha probabilidad de que esta imagen se pueda relacionar con la divinazion de los emperadores ya que el denario de Tiberio, conocido entonces en Palestina, tenía delante la cabeza del emperador y en el reverso el de su madre Livia, diosa de la paz; la leyenda en el lado del emperador tenia elementos que lo equiparaban a un dios. En el fondo lo que les quiere decir Jesús es que, al utilizar la moneda con símbolos políticos y religiosos del poder romano, han reconocido su soberanía absoluta, es decir, le han dado el lugar de Dios a alguien que no lo es. “Al Cesar lo que es del Cesar, y a Dios lo que es de Dios”, Jesús no estaba separando campos sino delimitando actitudes. Quería dejar claro que al Cesar le correspondía la moneda. Jesús no se estaba oponiendo a que se pagara el tributo. Sin embargo, estaba dejando suficientemente claro que Dios era el único dueño de la persona que portaba la moneda. Dios es el único dueño de las personas; En las creo a imagen y semejanza. El Cesar poseía solo lo que él había acunado, las monedas para el impuesto. Amar es el punto de partida y de llegada de lo que hagamos. Hay muchas cosas que cumplir, muchísimas normas que observar.. Sin embargo todo absolutamente todo adquiere sentido desde un esfuerzo serio y permanente por amar con la misma intensidad y seriedad al Dios de JESUS y a nuestros prójimos.
