EMERY: [email protected] A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR As we have celebrated the Feast of Christmas, we continue to reflect on the many ways that we experience Christ's presence in our lives and in our world. We must never lose sight of the great gift that Jesus is to us. We have experienced a God who comes to save us. Christmas can only have meaning when we make Christ the center of our lives and recognize that his birth has changed our lives forever. The Messiah brings hope to all people. We have hope that sin and darkness are not the final word. We have hope in the promise of salvation. The gift of Jesus shows us how much God loves us and cares for us. The Christ Child who came 2000 years ago never stops coming to us in our daily lives. He walks with us always and leads us to the Father. He gives us the strength we need to face any challenges that come our way. May the newborn Savior fill each of us with deep peace and everlasting joy! In Christ, Msgr.

In this we see Mary's brave acceptance of our Lord's call to become the mother of Jesus his son. We hear her words, " Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to thy word". Oh, how wonderful if we could respond like this to another Divine command, "Go and make Disciples".

RE-GIFTING PROJECT FOR THOSE IN NEED This year Our Lady of Sorrows will again be participating in a Re-Gifting Project. Few of us "need" all of the gifts we receive at Christmas, and sometimes we receive gifts we do not want or can't use. But instead of rushing back to the store right after Christmas to return or exchange these gifts, or letting them gather dust on a shelf, why not share our Christmas joy by giving to others what we do not want to keep? This is an opportunity to give to those in need at a time when many are struggling during these challenging economic times, and it is a great lesson for adults and children alike to look at all of the gifts they have received and offer one to someone who may have none at all. Your donated gifts may be brought to church at all of the Masses this weekend and next weekend (January 3/4). Please place the gifts in the church vestibule (where the presents for the Giving Tree were placed). There is no need to wrap the items. The collected gifts will be distributed among various social service agencies who will want to be able to see the items before they are distributed. Volunteers are needed to help with packing up and transporting the items to St. Mary's at Newark Abbey next Sunday, January 4. To volunteer to help pack or transport the items, or if you have any questions, please contact Anna Nelson at: 973-378-3136 or [email protected]. The Scholarship Fund for Inner-City Children – which provides partial tuition scholarships for low income students in grades K to 12 to attend Catholic schools – will hold its 12th annual High School Basketball Festival on January 2 and 4, 2015 at Kean University in Union. The teams playing include; Saint Anthony HS, Roselle Catholic, Hudson Catholic, Seton Hall Prep, Mt. St. Dominic, St. Benedict’s Prep, Marist, Union Catholic, St Dominic’s Academy, Paramus Catholic, St. Joseph’s Regional and Marist. For complete game schedule, times and information on ordering tickets, please visit www.sfichoops.com or call (973) 497-4279. Sponsor Certificates A reminder that in order to receive a sponsor certificate for baptism or confirmation you must be registered in the parish for a minimum of six months. Sponsor Certificates state that the individual is a registered member of our parish and is a Catholic in good standing. Stewardship is a way of life 620-2 Reflections on the Catechism Family 2206 The relationships within the family bring an affinity of feelings, affections and interests, arising above all from the members’ respect for one another. The family is a privileged community called to achieve a “sharing of thought and common deliberation by the spouses as well as their eager cooperation as parents in the children’s upbringing.” 2207 The family is the original cell of social life. It is the natural society in which husband and wife are called to give themselves in love and in the gift of life. Authority, stability, and a life of relationships within the family constitute the foundations for freedom, security, and fraternity within society. The family is the community in which, from childhood, one can learn moral values, begin to honor God, and make good use of freedom. Family life is an initiation into life in society.
