OUR
LITURGY
In
today’s reading from Exodus, Moses reminds the
Israelites
that if they keep the covenant they will be God’s
special
possession. Paul teaches that God proves His love
for
us in that, while we were sinners, Christ gave His life
for
us. In the Gospel, Jesus summons the Twelve and
sends
them out to proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is
at
hand.
are
the Chosen People who the Messiah was promised to,
Jesus
only had the 3 years for His Public Ministry. So,
He
had only so much time to act. First, salvation has to
come
to the Chosen People. Then, through them and from
them,
to the rest of the world. We see this at the end of
Matthew’s
Gospel when Jesus tells the Apostles, before
He
ascends into Heaven, “Go out and teach all nations,
baptizing
them in The Name of The Father, and of The
Son,
and of The Holy Spirit.” And of course, this call is
not
just for one people or for one generation, but for the
whole
Human Family until Christ comes again.
But
now the charge given to the Apostles is now given
to
us, the Church who is made one with God not through
the
Covenant at Sinai, but through the greater Covenant
made
with us through the Body and Blood of Christ
(through
His life, death, and resurrection). So, we are on
a
Mission, to go out and work in the fields and bring back
not
only the Lost Sheep of Israel, but also, the Lost Sheep
from
the Church and the Lost Sheep who do not even
know
Jesus. As members of the Body of Christ, we
cannot
stand idly by and let the sheep be lost. Remember,
the
Sheep cannot exist peacefully and without danger if
they
do not have a Shepherd. It is the duty of both the
clergy
and the laity, out of love for God and the Lost
Sheep,
to lead the Sheep back to the Good Shepherd.
And
He who was moved with pity for them will do the
rest.
This
weekend at all of the Masses Maryann and John
Maddock
will be speaking about the Diocesan Mission
located
in The Dominican Republic. This is part of the
Annual
Summer Mission Appeal, and this year the
proceeds
will go to support the Mission run by our own
Diocesan
Priests, Religious Sisters, and Laity. The people
of
St. Joseph’s have always been generous when it comes
to
helping those in need-please help again. There will be
a
2nd Collection taken up for the support of
the Mission.
If
you would like to support the Mission, but can not do
so
today, you can drop off your donation at the Rectory
during
the week.
Remember,
the St. Joseph’s School Golf Outing on
June
27th and the Summer
Family Festival in July.
Both
are a lot of fun, with great food, and a big help to
support
the School and the Parish. We do need volunteers
for
the Festival to help us on the many nights and for the
food
or games. And we need all of the members of the
parish
to come out and enjoy this wonderful week in July.
See
you there!
Thanks
for all you do for St. Joseph’s
Fr.
Mike
“At
the sight of the crowd, Jesus’ heart was moved
with
pity for them because they were troubled and
abandoned,
like sheep without a shepherd.” There can be
nothing
worse for a flock of sheep than to be without a
shepherd!
Without a shepherd to watch over them, the
sheep
will destroy themselves. They can easily drown,
walk
off cliffs, or fall prey to the wolves, or tigers, and
lions,
and bears-Oh my! Jesus sees this crowd of people
who
are coming to Him, as the Lost Sheep of Israel. The
people
who had fallen away because the Pharisees had
made
the practice of the faith so impossible that people
believed
they could not live it, so why bother? For the Lost
Sheep,
God was too far away, and they believed that God
would
not listen to them anyway. So Jesus is showing
them
a new way-a way not caught up in the 613 Precepts
of
the Law but, caught up in the Love of God and ones
neighbor.
Jesus
wants to draw the Lost Sheep back to Himself; He
wants
back the very people God called to Himself in the
Desert
of Sinai. As we read in today’s 1st
Reading as God
makes
the Covenant with Israel, “Therefore, if you hearken
to
my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my special
possession,
dearer to me than all other people…You shall
be
to me a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.”
Jesus
would not let them stay lost, and He wanted them
back
so much that He had pity on them and even though He
was
tired, still answered their call and shepherded them.
Jesus
is so dedicated to them that He calls others to help
Him
shepherd the people-the 12 Apostles. Please
understand
that this pity that Jesus feels for the Lost Sheep
goes
much deeper than the English word pity conveys.
What
Jesus
felt for this people, was more like the meaning behind
the
Greek word SPLANCHNIZO-which is more of a
feeling
from one’s gut, a profound sense of empathy, being
moved
from the very depth of His being.
Christ
does not want the House of Israel to be without
the
guidance and care of the Shepherd-for He loves them so
much.
So, He tells the 12-who we see named in today’s
Gospel-
that the harvest is abundant, but the laborers are
few,
and that they, like Him, are to go out and announce the
good
news and do it without payment. Jesus gives them a
share
of His power to cast out demons, and cure disease
and
illness. All the Lost Sheep are to be called back-the
rich
and the poor, the noble and the common, the free and
the
slave, even the sinner and the tax collector.
That’s
great for the Lost Sheep of Israel-who are the only
ones
Jesus is commanding the Apostles to seek out in
today’s
Gospel, but what about us? Well there is good
news
for us, because we are also meant to be part of this
call-but
not at the time Jesus first sent out the disciples.
Remember,
this 1st call is for the Lost Sheep because they

Umbilical
cord proposals gain momentum
…..on
May 9, 2005, the NYS Assembly
unanimously
passed A.3346, legislation
sponsored
by Assemblywoman Patricia
Eddington
(D-Patchogue). This particular bill
would
authorize the State Health Department
to
review the research using umbilical cord
blood,
and make recommendations to promote its use.
Meanwhile,
numerous other measures have been
introduced
to promote cord blood research and treatment,
an
ethical alternative to embryonic stem cell research.
They
include:
A.457
by Assemblyman Joseph Lentol (D-Brooklyn)
would
require health professionals to advise pregnant
women
of their option to donate cord blood, mandate a
public
awareness campaign and provide for the
collection,
preservation and storage of the blood.
A.7926
by Assemblyman Ivan Lafayette (D-Queens)
would
require health professionals to advise pregnant
women
of t heir option to donate cord blood.
S.5132
by Senator Kenneth Lavalle (R-Selden) would
establish
a task force on the medical use of umbilical cord
blood
in the treatment of human disease.
The
New York State Catholic Conference supports all
of
these measures and urges the state to move forward in
promoting
and funding this successful and ethical area of
stem
cell research and therapy.
NYS
Pro-Life Reporter May 2005
“Blood
from umbilical cords—a byproduct of normal
childbirth—is
a good source of hematopoietic progenitor
cells
(HPCs), the type of stem cells also found in bone
marrow
that give rise to various kinds of blood cells.
Transplants
of these stem cells have saved the lives of
roughly
20,000 Americans with leukemia, lymphoma,
sickle
cell anemia, and several their illnesses in recent
years.”----from
a new report on cord blood by the
Institute
of Medicine of the National Academies, released
April
14, 2005. The report recommends a centralized
national
cord blood banking program.

Catholic
Ministries Appeal 2005
Catholic
Charities is the largest
beneficiary
of the Catholic
Ministries
Appeal now underway in
our
parishes. Last year Catholic
Charities
served over 80,000
people,
including the homeless,
those
with HIV/AIDS, seniors with
disabilities,
single mothers, those
struggling
with mental illness,
families
without health insurance
and
the marginalized.
To
fully appreciate the vital work in
which
Catholic Charities engages,
we
need to examine how individual
lives
have been changed. Joan (not
her
real name) is a 56-year-old
woman
suffering from a mild
mental
retardation. While still a
young
girl, she lost both of her
parents
and was forced to enter a
Suffolk
County facility for people
with
disabilities. While at the
center,
Joan showed she could be
very
productive in a number of
different
jobs and it was clear that
she
had the potential to live more
independently.
She
moved to the Catholic
Charities’
Christopher Residence
located
in Valley Stream, a more
home-like
environment. She
continued
to work and she was
St.
Joseph’s by the
Numbers
Goal
$74,800.
Pledged
49,053.
Percentage
of Goal
65.6
%
known
to be exacting, diligent and
well
adjusted, although fairly shy.
Some
years later, Joan chose to
move
to another Catholic Charities
site
in Southold, where she could
be
even more independent.
She’s
there today, holding down a
job
and living a high quality life,
with
a great deal of freedom, not
so
very different from that of most
Long
Island parishioners.
Now,
Joan’s story could have
turned
out quite differently. After
all,
what happens to a young,
developmentally
disabled woman
who
loses her family? Does she
end
up in a cold, impersonal
institution?
Is she taken advantage
of
and mistreated? Does she
become
homeless, hopeless and
forgotten?
Our
Church responds to those in
need.
The Church says she comes
home,
and the place Joan calls
home
was built and is sustained by
the
generosity of our parishioners.
Each
year the challenges facing
Catholic
Charities grow.
More
than ever before, your support
will
help people and families in
need
in our neighborhoods.

Even
Used Inkjet Cartridges,
Have
Their Uses
We
have found a way to help St Joseph and keep those
complicated
pieces of plastic, metal and printed circuit
boards
out of the land fill. Drop them off (in a plastic
baggie)
when you come to mass. We will send them to a
company
who reuses them and gives the parish a bounty for
each.
One note, to clear confusion, if it is larger than a fist,
it
is not an inkjet cartridge!!!
