PAGE 2—471 Everything I do and say… AFTER I SAY I BELIEVE! STEWARDSHIP IN SCRIPTURE The Bishops’ Pastoral on Stewardship reminds us 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.” STEWARDSHIP IN ACTION “You are the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells In You” STEWARDSHIP SHARING FOR THE FISCAL YEAR: SEPTEMBER 1– AUGUST 31, 2015 Envelopes / Loose Checks: 546 / 45 Regular Collection: $17,898.50 YTD Budgeted Amount: $160,000 (16,000 x 10 Regular Sundays) YTD Actual Collection: $150,666.30 SHORTAGE: $ 9,333.50 CHILDREN’S COLLECTION: $12.50 ~ 4 Envelopes This week I followed Jesus by… ...went to go give my next door neibor (sic) her mail. BTW NAME IS CATHY. A WORD FROM OUR PASTOR A home for God Last week, I had the privilege of gathering with several hundred people to bless the newly constructed ambulance garage in Sayville that serves several surrounding communities including our own. As I blessed the building, I was very aware that it was more than just a structure. The building represents the kindness and generosity of countless volunteers over the last sixty years whose devotion and concern have saved the lives of many of their neighbors. It represents the support and goodness of all the citizens of these communities whose resources made this structure possible. The building is a symbol of rescue, comfort and hope. I felt that I was blessing much more than a building. In a similar way, today’s feast of the Basilica of Saint John Lateran might appear at first to be simply the celebration of a building. However, this Basilica and every church throughout the world are so much more than just buildings. The structure which is made of brick and mortar is more than just a place where we can find shelter or a place to pray. A church building teaches us something. It stands as a symbol of our belief that just as the church is a special place where God lives, so also God dwells among us and inside us. God’s home is found in every person who embraces the message of unselfish love. As Saint Paul puts in so clearly in today’s second reading: “Brothers and sisters: You are God’s building.” The Basilica of Saint John Lateran is located in Rome and it serves the same purpose for the Diocese of Rome that Saint Agnes Cathedral in Rockville Centre serves for our diocese. That church and all churches, including our beloved building here at Saint John’s, are meant to be visible reminders that we who gather together are God’s dwelling place. It is in us that God lives and becomes present to the world that so much needs the healing presence of Christ. Saint Paul’s imagery also tells us that Christ is our “foundation” and that each one of us is a “living stone”. Together we make up the house of God. For the Jews in the time of Jesus, the temple in Jerusalem was the most sacred house of God. In today’s Gospel, Jesus drives out the money changers who have used the temple for the wrong purpose: “…stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.” Again, there is more here than Jesus simply restoring the temple to be a house of prayer. The Lord’s action is a reminder to us that, as each one of us is a house of God, we may be in need of some kind of cleansing or restoration. Paul says, “…you are the temple of God” and “the Spirit of God dwells in you.” The challenge of the Gospel is to ask ourselves what needs to be “driven out” of me so that God can dwell more completely within me? What needs to be “overturned” in my behavior or my lifestyle so that I can more faithfully fulfill my vocation as a temple of God’s presence? We celebrate a building today because we are a building. We are the Church which is so much more than the construction materials that come together to create a structure. We build God’s kingdom by receiving the nourishment of Christ’s love in the Eucharist and going forth from our church to build a better world, a world “of truth and life…of holiness and grace…of justice, love, and peace.” As a prayer from the Sacramentary says: “Father, you give us grace to build the temple of your Spirit, creating its beauty from the holiness of our lives.” Fr. Joe _______________________________________________________________________________ Next Sunday evening, November 16, we will be gathering with our Jewish, Islamic, and Christian brothers and sisters for our annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Prayer Service at the temple in Oakdale. Please consider joining us for this marvelous opportunity to thank God for all our blessings. Details are on page 10 of this bulletin.

A Message from Sister Lisa: I met a young family last week, a single mother trying to raise her daughter on a part-time salary because that is the only work she can find in this economy. She had to separate from her child’s father due to his uncontrollable drug use. She was reluctant to come to us because she had been selfsufficient, and thinks of herself as the “giver,” but needed the food and other resources we can provide to help her young daughter, and acceded to the promptings of one of our parishioners to come to Outreach. It can be so hard to ask for help, to receive. And yet we can never fully know God if we do not open ourselves to the blessing of being receptive — to ask for what we need and trust that it will be provided. Thank you for the ways that your generous support enables us to provide for the needs of so many in our community. Thank you to all of you who are ‘sponsoring” a family for Thanksgiving. A gentle reminder: all items need to be at Outreach ON Tuesday, November 18th OR Wednesday, November 19th for packing. In addition, we are still recruiting some drivers to help with deliveries on Saturday, November 22nd. Please see the notice, right, and call us if you can help. I invite you to come to celebrate next Sunday evening, at 7:00 p.m., our Interfaith Thanksgiving Prayer Service to be held this year at B’nai Israel Temple (opposite OakdaleBohemia Middle School). Please bring non-perishable food items to support local pantries, including ours. May God continue to bless you for all the ways you reflect God’s abundant mercy and goodness. Please pray for: All veterans, especially those who died giving service to their country, and their families families, doctors and nurses who care for them.

PAGE 12—471 Family Faith Formation will be participating in the Interfaith Prayer Service held at B’nai Israel Temple on November 16th at 7pm. See page 10 for details! FAMILY FAITH FORMATION NO CLASSES ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH FOR VETERAN’S DAY In the Gospel this week we truly hear a story that shows us that Jesus was 100% human as well as 100% divine. Jesus finds in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves along with the moneychangers sitting there. He drove them out of the temple area and told them to stop making His Father’s house a marketplace. Jesus told them to destroy this temple and He will raise it up in three days. He was speaking about His body being raised from the dead. 1. Has there ever been a time that you were so angry that you did something you should not do? Did you ask God for forgiveness? 2. What Church holiday is Jesus referring to when he tells the people He will raise up this temple in three days? This month we are collecting hats and gloves to put in our shoeboxes and to give to Outreach. Could you contribute something to Glovember??
