Bulletin Reflection As we pray today for an increase of spiritual gifts, we are reminded by the Bishops’ Pastoral on Stewardship that good stewardship of the Church “means cherishing and fostering the gifts of all, while using one’s own gifts to serve the community of faith.” Pizza, Prayer and New Friends Grades 7 and 8 Grades 9 – 12 Friday Night: 7 – 8:30 Sunday Night: 6-8pm Parish Center Small group activities, Video presentations, Refreshments and fellowship For information e-mail [email protected] or you can call the rectory From the Pastor November 9th, 2014 Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome he Dedication of the Lateran Basilica Today the liturgy celebrates the dedication of the Lateran Basilica, called “mother and head of all the churches of the city and the world.” In fact, this basilica was the first to be built after Emperor Constantine’s edict, in 313, which granted Christians freedom to practice their religion. The emperor himself gave Pope Miltiades the ancient palace of the Laterani family, and the basilica, the baptistery, and the patriarchate, that is, the Bishop of Rome’s residence — where the Popes lived until the Avignon period (1300’s) — were all built there. The basilica’s dedication was celebrated by Pope Sylvester around the year 324 and was named Most Holy Savior. Only after the 6th century were the names of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist added, and now is typically denominated by these latter. Initially the observance of this feast was confined to the city of Rome; then, beginning in 1565, it was extended to all the Churches of the Roman Rite. The honoring of this sacred edifice was a way of expressing love and veneration for the Roman Church, which, as St. Ignatius of Antioch (d. 107 A.D.) says, “presides in charity” over the whole Catholic communion (Letter to the Romans, 1:1). On this solemnity the Word of God recalls an essential truth: the temple of stones is a symbol of the living Church, the Christian community, which in their letters the Apostles Peter and Paul already understood as a “spiritual edifice,” built by God with “living stones,” namely, Christians themselves, upon the one foundation of Jesus Christ, who is called the “cornerstone” (cf. 1 Corinthians 3:9-11, 16-17; 1 Peter 2:4-8; Ephesians 2:20-22). “Brothers, you are God’s building,” St. Paul wrote, and added: “holy is God’s temple, which you are” (1 Corinthians 3:9c, 17). The beauty and harmony of the churches, destined to give praise to God, also draws us human beings, limited and sinful, to convert to form a “cosmos,” a well-ordered structure, in intimate communion with Jesus, who is the true Saint of saints. This happens in a culminating way in the Eucharistic liturgy, in which the “ecclesia,” that is, the community of the baptized, come together in a unified way to listen to the Word of God and nourish themselves with the Body and Blood of Christ. From these two tables the Church of living stones is built up in truth and charity and is internally formed by the Holy Spirit transforming herself into what she receives, conforming herself more and more to the Lord Jesus Christ. She herself, if she lives in sincere and fraternal unity, in this way, becomes the spiritual sacrifice pleasing to God. Dear friends, today’s feast celebrates a mystery that is always relevant: God’s desire to build a spiritual temple in the world, a community that worships him in spirit and truth (cf. John 4:23-24). But this observance also reminds us of the importance of the material buildings in which the community gathers to celebrate the praises of God. Every community therefore has the duty to take special care of its own sacred buildings, which are a precious religious and historical patrimony. For this we call upon the intercession of Mary Most Holy, that she help us to become, like her, the “house of God,” living temple of his love. — Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus Address, November 9, 2008 As we celebrate the dedication of the Lateran Basilica – the cathedral church of the Supreme Pontiff – we are grateful to almighty God for our beautiful spiritual home here in Mastic Beach that is so near and dear to our hearts. Here, as God’s living stones, we weekly celebrate the Sacred Mysteries and all those sacramental moments in our lives as Catholic Christians. We look forward to a “resurrection” for the old St. Jude Shrine Church in the near future, so that the site of so many sacred events of the past will once again be a place of prayer and praise of our blessed Lord. May we help to build-up and further make this a locus of encounter with the living God and leave a legacy of faith for those who will come after us. In Christ, Fr. Greg St. Jude 15th Annual Krist Kindle The word Kristkindl means “Christ Child” in German. This custom began as a way to prepare for the coming of Jesus by seeing him in others. A group of people (family, neighbors, etc.) would put their names in a hat and everyone would pick a name. Several times during the Advent season, each person would do something special for their Kristkindl without the other person finding out who did it for them. The “something special” could be an act of kindness, a small gift, a service, or a prayer offered. On Christmas day everyone would reveal his or her identity to their Kristkindl. By November 28th you will receive, by mail the name of your assigned family. You can pray for them and surprise them with cards, phone calls or little token gifts each week throughout Advent. Another family will have your name and will be surprising you too. Advent will soon begin, November 30th, and during this special time of preparation you can be part of St. Jude’s Krist Kindle Program. Just fill out the form below and place it in the brightly wrapped box in the lobby of the church or drop it off at the rectory or just log on to our web site at www.stjudemb.org and follow the link to Krist Kindle. Remember all names must be submitted by 6:30PM on Sunday, November 23rd! Any questions please call Dinah Castro at 631- 3990604 or email to [email protected] On Sunday, January 11th, after 9:30 Mass all the participants in the program will meet for refreshments and will have the opportunity to meet their Krist Kindle family. This program is so much fun for the whole family.

St. Vincent de Paul The gospel suggests that our waiting and watching must also include seeking. We must go out to meet Christ. Waiting and keeping vigil without seeking for the Bridegroom might be metaphors for living our daily lives without paying attention to the times when God breaks in upon us. For Vincent, true holiness meant that all of his decisions, plans, struggles, and actions had to revolve around the person of Jesus Christ. Join the Society of St. Vincent de Paul?

Students to Perform Ken Ludwig’s “Moon Over Buffalo” The members of the award winning McGann-Mercy Theatre Company will perform their version of Ken Ludwig’s situational comedy, “Moon Over Buffalo”. Set in the 1950’s, this comedy revolves around two aging actors working in a repertory theatre in Buffalo, New York, striving for their “big shot” at fame, who learn that Frank Capra would be coming to see their matinee and might cast them in one of his films. Apparently, the universe conspires against them, and anything that could go wrong or awry does. Running from Thursday, November 20th through Saturday, November 22nd in the school auditorium, the show starts at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $10 per person and will be sold at the door. For more information please call 631.727.5900 ext. 310.
