World Day of Migrants and Refugees Mass September 29th at 12 Noon at the Cathedral Basilica
The Church has been celebrating the World Day of Migrants and Refugees since 1914. It is always an occasion to express concern for many different vulnerable people on the move; to pray for their challenges and increase awareness about the opportunities that migration offers. For 2019, Pope Francis has chosen the theme “It is not just about migrants” to make sure no one remains excluded from society, whether a long-time resident or someone newly-arrived. Our local celebration will be highlighted by a Mass celebrated by Cardinal Tobin on Sunday, September 29th at noon in the Cathedral Basilica. All the faithful of the Archdiocese are invited to this celebration of the unity and diversity of the Archdiocese. All are invited to come in the dress of their native country to show the universality of the Archdiocese.
If you are a baptized Catholic, over age 19, who hasn’t
finished receiving the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism,
Holy Communion or Confirmation) You are invited to
join our RCIA process.
If you are a non-Catholic adult, and are interested in
learning more about the Catholic faith, You are also
cordially invited to join our RCIA process without
obligation of any kind. You may register at the Parish
Center office. Classes will begin Wednesday, September
25, 2019 at 7:30pm in the St. Cecilia Parish Center
basement. There are also adult RCIA Classes available in
Spanish on Sunday Mornings. Please contact Fr. John
Wassell for more information at (201) 991-1116.
Registration forms are available at the Parish Center
office during regular office hours.
WEDNESDAYS “BIBLE STUDY”
WITH FR. JOHN WASSELL
Join us every Wednesday at 7:30pm in
the St. Cecilia Rectory basement.
A NOTE FROM FR. JOHN
On August 15th, 2019 Cardinal Tobin appointed me
to a second term as Pastor of St. Cecilia Parish and
Administrator of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish ending
July 1st, 2025. I’m very grateful to God and to the
Cardinal for the trust that they have shown to me.
Please pray that I may faithfully serve God and all of
you for the next six years. Sincerely, Fr. John

EMAIL SCAM
An email scam has surfaced again in the Archdiocese. The scam email purports to be from your parish priest, who is asking for money or gift cards because of some urgent need; for example, to help someone in the hospital. Please be assured that no priest of the Archdiocese would ever legitimately ask for money in this way. We encourage you to report such incidents to the New Jersey Cyber Crimes Unit and delete the email message.

Only (1) Mass per day can be prayed for any individual intention.
The names of the intentions are to be clearly printed. These names will
be printed in the parish bulletin and will be announced during the
scheduled Mass.
Please have your list available along with dates of the Masses you are
requesting. If the date you are requesting is not available, we will
suggest the next available date.
The Mass Stipend for each Mass is $10.00. Checks can be made
payable to St. Cecilia Church.

REFLEXIÓN BIBLICA DOMINICAL DEL
DR. SCOTT HAHN
El administrador que aparece en el Evangelio del domingo
se enfrenta con la realidad de que no puede seguir
viviendo como lo ha hecho. Está siendo enjuiciado, debe
dar cuentas de lo que ha hecho. Los explotadores de los
pobres, en la primera lectura de hoy, también están a
punto de ser derribados, empujados de pedestales (cfr. Is
22,19). Los servidores de Mammon o del dinero están tan
enamorados de las riquezas que reducen a objetos a los
pobres, desprecian las lunas nuevas y sábados: las
observancias y días santos de Dios (cfr. Lv 23,24; Ex
20,8). Su única esperanza es seguir el camino del
administrador. Él no es modelo de arrepentimiento, pero
hace un cálculo prudente: usar sus últimas horas como
encargado de las propiedades de su amo, para mostrar
misericordia a otros, para aliviar sus deudas. Es un hijo de
este mundo movido por motivos completamente egoístas:
hacer amigos y ser bienvenido en los hogares de los
deudores de su amo. Sin embargo su prudencia es alabada
como un ejemplo para nosotros, los hijos de la luz (cfr. 1
Ts 5,5; Ef 5,8). También debemos darnos cuenta, como el
administrador, que lo que tenemos no es realmente
nuestro, sino que pertenece a otro, a nuestro Amo. Todo la
riqueza del mundo no podría saldar la deuda que le
debemos a nuestro Amo. Por eso Él la pagó por nosotros y
dio su vida como rescate por todos, como escuchamos en
la epístola de este domingo. Dios quiere que todos se
salven, hasta a los reyes y príncipes, incluso los amigos
del dinero (Lc 16,14). Pero no podemos servir a dos amos.
Por su gracia, debemos elegir ser “siervos del Señor”,
como cantamos en el salmo de este domingo. Le servimos
si usamos lo que él nos a encargado dando limosnas,
levantando a los humildes del polvo y estiércol de este
mundo. Por estas obras ganaremos lo que es nuestro: ser
bienvenidos en las moradas eternas, en las muchas
mansiones de la casa del Padre (cfr. Jn 14,2).

TEMA DO 25º DOMINGO DO TEMPO COMUM
A liturgia sugere-nos, hoje, uma reflexão sobre o lugar que
o dinheiro e os outros bens materiais devem assumir na
nossa vida. De acordo com a Palavra de Deus que nos é
proposta, os discípulos de Jesus devem evitar que a ganân-
cia ou o desejo imoderado do lucro manipulem as suas
vidas e condicionem as suas opções; em contrapartida, são
convidados a procurar os valores do “Reino”. Na primeira
leitura, o profeta Amós denuncia os comerciantes sem
escrúpulos, preocupados em ampliar sempre mais as suas
riquezas, que apenas pensam em explorar a miséria e o
sofrimento dos pobres. Amós avisa: Deus não está do lado
de quem, por causa da obsessão do lucro, escraviza os
irmãos. A exploração e a injustiça não passam em claro
aos olhos de Deus. O Evangelho apresenta a parábola do
administrador astuto. Nela, Jesus oferece aos discípulos o
exemplo de um homem que percebeu como os bens deste
mundo eram caducos e precários e que os usou para asse-
gurar valores mais duradouros e consistentes… Jesus avisa
os seus discípulos para fazerem o mesmo. Na segunda lei-
tura, o autor da Primeira Carta a Timóteo convida os
crentes a fazerem do seu diálogo com Deus uma oração
universal, onde caibam as preocupações e as angústias de
todos os nossos irmãos, sem excepção. O tema não se liga,
directamente, com a questão da riqueza (que é o tema fun-
damental da liturgia deste domingo); mas o convite a não
ficar fechado em si próprio e a preocupar-se com as dores
e esperanças de todos os irmãos, situa-nos no mesmo cam-
po: o discípulo é convidado a sair do seu egoísmo para
assumir os valores duradouros do amor, da partilha, da
fraternidade.
