A Note from Fr. Quealy This weekend we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Our parish is 89 years young and vibrant thanks to all of you who make this such a wonderful place. Here are the Seven Sorrows of Mary for your reflection: - The prophecy of Simeon to Mary: A sword shall pierce

your heart - At the flight into Egypt: Joseph and Mary flee the

slaughter of the innocent - The loss of the Holy Child at Jerusalem - Meeting Jesus on His way to Calvary - Standing at the foot of the Cross - Jesus being taken from the Cross - The burial of Christ. Don’t forget to come by the parish picnic over at the O.L.S. School field/playground this Sunday (1-4pm).

God Bless, Fr. Quealy

Tips to Make Mass More Meaningful* It doesn’t take much to change the way

you live the liturgy. “The Mass is the greatest prayer known to mankind, but it doesn’t always feel that way. Here are a few practices that can help you enter into the Mass with interest and devotion.” ~Aleteia.org ~Tom Hoopes

4. If you are afraid to go deeper at Mass, ask why.

Often sins in our lives are at the root of our fear to be intimate with God. If we sincerely ask to be allowed to see and confront the weaknesses that hold us back, we can recognize them and bring them to confession. * A different “tip” will be included in the Bulletin for the next ten weeks.

APERSPECTIVE ON THE SUNDAY READINGS HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly

“What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, keep warm and eat well’, but you do not give to them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works is dead. Indeed someone might say ‘You have faith and I have works.’ Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works.” In his exhortation calling us to holiness, Pope Francis clearly shows us how our attitude, responding to needs with faith and charity. Seeing in the one I encounter as a human being with dignity identical with my own, a creature infinitely loved by the Father, an image of God, a brother or sister redeemed by Jesus Christ. That is what it is to be a Christian. The biblical letter of James and Pope Francis’ exhortation challenge us to walk the walk and not just talk the talk leading us from complacency to assist the suffering. We have the power to change other’s lives from despair and fill them with hope. To follow Him requires my self denial, acceptance of the cross and action.
