GERARD BAKE SALE For the unborn Francesca Falone Rose Brino Sunday, October 14, 2018-ST. GERARD BAKE SALE Pastor Appreciation Day For the unemployed Afrina Stampone Anne Hutton 3-Yr. Mass Two Shall Become One It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a suitable partner for him.... That is why a man leaves father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one flesh whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it. Then he embraced them and blessed them placing his hands on them. From the Book of Genesis The Genesis creation story is the first sign of God s loving concern for His creation. The history of human kind repeats the account as efforts are made for suitable partners. Jesus care was of such great importance that He made Holy Matrimony one of the grace giving Sacraments of the church. Pope Francis in his wonderful exhortation The Joy of Love, describes marriage as a lifelong project to be undertaken, a work in progress on a daily basis. Encouraging couples to overlook the deficiencies which are part of everyday life, he asks us to build our relationship on four pillars patience, understanding, tolerance and generosity. Each one is the gift I can offer my suitable partner..his WORD TODAY, by Rev. William J. Reilly If you know of anyone in the parish who is sick or homebound and needs communion, confession, any sacramental needs or just a visit, please contact The Rectory at (973) We will arrange for a Priest to visit them. Visited this week were: Irene Sciro, Jeannette Masiak, Louise Peterson, Ann Contini, Eleanor Verlardi, Giovanna Cannata, and Catherine Gravino. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. -Mother Teresa
