Dear
Parishioner,
Humility
gives us perspective.
When
he hosted high-ranking guests, President Theodore Roosevelt was fond
of taking them for evening walks on the grounds of the White House.
Inevitably, he would point skyward and recite: “That is the spiral
galaxy of Andromeda. It is as large as our Milky Way. It is one of
a hundred million galaxies. It is 2,500,000 light years away. It
consists of one hundred billion suns, many of them larger than our
own sun.” Then, after a brief silence, Teddy Roosevelt would grin
and say: “Now I think we are small enough. Let’s go inside.”
T.R.
was aware that in order for people to work together effectively and
for truth to prevail, they needed a certain perspective regarding
their position in the grand scheme of things. He realized that
self-importance, and a lack of truthfulness and humility, militates
against personal growth and interpersonal exchange.
In
today’s Gospel, our Lord expressed similar insights but in a much
more profound manner. Followers of Jesus are not to be over enamored
by what they see, nor unhappy because of what they don’t see.
Humility - honesty - calls us to see who we really are, vis a vis
others and especially in the face of God. A good healthy self -
respect and self - image come from knowing that our Creator made us
out of love.
When
St. Augustine was converted to Christ in the year 387, he was happy
to share his experience with others. One of his recommendations was
this: “For those who would learn God’s way, humility is the
first thing, humility is the second, and humility is the third
thing.” Augustine learned the truth every sincere believer seeks,
that God is all in all, and without God, I am nothing. With God, I
am free and can shine like a star.

Kudos
to our Boy Scout Troop 6 and our Cub Pack 6. The Boy Scouts
celebrated their 100th birthday last month and our troop and pack at
St. Aloysius have been here for over 50 years. (Our Cub pack is the
largest in Essex Co.).
† † † † † † † † †

Fr.
Camilo Cruz will celebrate a special Mass of Thanksgiving here on
Saturday, Sept. 18th, at 5:30 pm. A light reception will follow in
the auditorium.
Fr.
Camilo served ably as our deacon last year and was ordained to the
Priesthood on May 29th. He is a classmate of our Fr. Juan Carlos.
† † † † † † † † †

Sr.
Alice Uhl has begun planning for the RCIA. Have you or a family
member or friend not received First Holy Communion or Confirmation?
Is
there someone you know seriously interested in becoming a Catholic?
Do
you have questions about our Faith?
The
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is a wonderful process
that brings adults deeply into the sacramental life of the Church.
Call
the rectory for more info.
† † † † † † † † †

The
benefit Spaghetti Dinner on behalf of Giovanni & Salvatore Sereno
will be in the auditorium on Saturday evening, Oct. 2nd. Our
prayerful support and our solidarity with the boys and their parents
is a beautiful expression of Christian faith. Plan to attend.
Sincerely
in Christ,
Msgr.

REFLECTIONS
ON STEWARDSHIP
"Whenever
you give a lunch or dinner, do not invite your friends or brothers or
relatives or wealthy neighbors....... No, when you have a reception,
invite beggars and the crippled, the lame and the blind. You should
be pleased that they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid in
the
resurrection of the just." Luke 14:1314
Our
gifts were not given to be bargaining chips in which we expect
repayment (e.g. tax breaks, return invitations, or recognition).
Preoccupation with repayment is not stewardship, but a search for
reward.
