Charitable Gift Annuities Making a significant gift to your parish can increase your bot-tom line! By making a gift for a charitable gift annuity, you receive an income tax deduction and annuity payments for life. Plus, part of each payment is tax-free. Learn more about this wonderful opportunity by contacting Theresa Lynch, Planned Giving Manager, Archdiocese of Newark at (973) 497-4042 or by email at Theresa.lynch@rcan.org.

Panning for Gold One great way to raise money for the renovations is to collect Gold and Sil-ver and other precious metals. Gold is now worth $1280 per troy ounce (ozt) and silver is $15 per ozt. Perhaps you have that mangled chain or the wid-owed earring, donate it to the renovation. Maybe you have some sterling silverware pieces, an old ring or silver coins that just doesn't fit your style or are just taking up space in the draw-er, donate it. I can take it to a reputable dealer and get top dollar. It’s a painless way of giving and it really goes to a good cause. Simply bring your old gold, silver and coins to the rectory or after Mass give it to me. I can write a receipt for tax purposes if you like.

Thank you for your consideration, Fr. Paul.

The Bread & Wine offered at the Masses this week are donated

in Memory of Theresa Palifrone & Mary Buonomo.

The Sanctuary Light this week is donated in Memory of Mary Lavallo.

MOTHER BLEST Though she was the Mother of the Lord, yet she desired to learn the pre-cepts of the Lord, and she who brought forth God, yet desired to know God.

The Celebration of the Eucharist, from the first apology in de-fense of the Christians by Saint Justin, martyr, c. A.D. 150 No one may share the Eucharist with us unless he believes that what we teach is true, unless he is washed in the regenerating waters of baptism for the remission of his sins, and unless he lives in accordance with the principles given us by Christ. We do not consume the eucharistic bread and wine as if it were ordinary food and drink, for we have been taught that as Jesus Christ our Savior became a man of flesh and blood by the power of the Word of God, so also the food that our flesh and blood assimilates for its nourishment becomes the flesh and blood of the incarnate Jesus by the power of his own words contained in the prayer of thanksgiving. The apostles, in their recollections, which are called gospels, handed down to us what Jesus commanded them to do. They tell us that he took bread, gave thanks and said: Do this in memory of me. This is my body. In the same way he took the cup, he gave thanks and said: This is my blood. The Lord gave this com-mand to them alone. Ever since then we have constantly remind-ed one another of these things. The rich among us help the poor and we are always united. For all that we receive we praise the Creator of the universe through his Son Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit. On Sunday we have a common assembly of all our members, whether they live in the city or the outlying districts. The recol-lections of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as there is time. When the reader has finished, the presi-dent of the assembly speaks to us; he urges everyone to imitate the examples of virtue we have heard in the readings. Then we all stand up together and pray. On the conclusion of our prayer, bread and wine and water are brought forward. The president offers prayers and gives thanks to the best of his ability, and the people give assent by saying, “Amen.” The Eucharist is distributed, everyone present com-municates, and the deacons take it to those who are absent. The wealthy, if they wish, may make a contribution, and they themselves decide the amount. The collection is placed in the custody of the president, who uses it to help the orphans and widows and all who for any reason are in distress, whether be-cause they are sick, in prison, or away from home. In a word, he takes care of all who are in need.

We hold our common assembly on Sunday because it is the first day of the week, the day on which God put darkness and chaos to flight and created the world, and because on that same day our savior Jesus Christ rose from the dead. For he was cru-cified on Friday and on Sunday he appeared to his apostles and disciples and taught them the things that we have passed on for your consideration.

Making Those Funeral Arrangements Planning or even thinking about one’s own funeral is un-pleasant and therefore something we tend to push far out of our minds. When the time finally comes it leaves the family stressed and overwhelmed by all the decisions they must make. You can relieve some of this stress for your loved ones by planning your Funeral Liturgy (Mass of Christian Burial). Lynn Berhalter would like to assist you in choosing the Scrip-tures to be read at your funeral Mass according to the archdi-ocesan guidelines. She can also help you choose the hymns that will add to the solemnity of your Mass. This is simple to do and it helps fulfill your wishes and eases your family’s bur-den. Make an appointment to see Lynn at the rectory to get started. Your plans will be kept on file at Holy Trinity Church and may be amended anytime you wish. Planning ahead ensures your family that the readings and music you desired are carried out and they need not worry. It is a beautiful final gesture, a gift to those who grieve. Call 201-343-5170 now and make your appointment.

Excavar en busca de Oro Una excelente mane-ra de recaudar fondos para las renovaciones es recolectar oro y plata y otros metales preciosos. El oro ahora tiene un valor de $ 1280 por onza troy (ozt) y la pla-ta es de $ 15 por ozt. Tal vez tengas esa cadena destrozada o el pendiente viudo, dónalo para la renova-ción. Tal vez tengas algunas piezas de plata esterlina, un anillo viejo o monedas de plata que simplemente no se ajustan a tu estilo o simplemente están ocupando espacio en el cajón, dónelo. Puedo llevarlo a un distribuidor de confianza y obtener el me-jor precio. Es una manera indolora de dar y lo que realmente va a una buena causa.. Simplemente trae tu oro viejo, plata y monedas a la rectoría o después de la misa, dámelo. Puedo escribir un recibo para efec-tos fiscales si lo desea.

Gracias por su consideración, P. Pablo.

LA CELEBRACIÓN DE LA EUCARISTÍA de la primera Apología de San Justino, mártir, en defensa de los cristianos; c. A.D. 150 A nadie es lícito participar de la eucaristía si no cree que son verdad las cosas que enseñamos y no se ha purificado en aquel baño que da la remisión de los pecados y la regenera-ción, y no vive como Cristo nos enseñó. Porque no tomamos estos alimentos como si fueran pan común o una bebida ordina-ria; sino que, así como Cristo, nuestro salvador, se hizo carne por la Palabra Dios y tuvo carne y sangre a causa de nuestra salvación de la misma manera, hemos aprendido que el alimento sobre el que fue recitada la acción de gracias que contiene las palabras de Jesús, y con que se alimenta y transforma nuestra sangre y nuestra carne, es precisamente la carne, la sangre de aquel mismo Jesús que se encarnó. Los apóstoles, en efecto, en sus tratados llamados Evangelios, nos cuentan que así les fue mandado, cuando Jesús, tomando pan y dando gracias, dijo: Haced esto en conmemoración mía. Esto es mi cuerpo; y luego, tomando del mismo modo en sus manos el cáliz, dio gracias y dijo: Esto es mi sangre, dándoselo a ellos solos. Desde entonces seguimos recordándonos siempre unos a otros estas cosas; y los que tenemos bienes acudimos en ayuda de los que no los tienen, y permanecemos unidos. Y siempre que presentamos nuestras ofrendas alabamos al Creador de todo por medio de su Hijo Je-sucristo y del Espíritu Santo. El día llamado del sol se reúnen todos en un lugar, lo mismo los que habitan en la ciudad que los que viven en el cam-po, y, según conviene, se leen los tratados de los apóstoles o los escritos de los profetas, según el tiempo lo permita. Luego, cuando el lector termina, el que preside se encarga de amones-tar, con palabras de exhortación, a la imitación de cosas tan ad-mirables. Después nos levantamos todos a la vez y recitamos preces; y a continuación, como ya dijimos, una vez que conclu-yen las plegarias, se trae pan, vino y agua: y el que preside pro-nuncia fervorosamente preces y acciones de gracias, y el pueblo responde Amén; tras de lo cual se distribuyen los dones sobre los que se ha pronunciado la acción de gracias, comulgan todos, y los diáconos se encargan de llevárselo a los ausentes. Los que poseen bienes de fortuna y quieren, cada uno da, a su arbitrio, lo que bien le parece, y lo que se recoge se deposita ante el que preside, que es quien se ocupa de repartirlo entre los huérfanos y las viudas, los que por enfermedad u otra causa cualquiera pasan necesidad, así como a los presos y a los que se hallan de paso como huéspedes; en una palabra, él es quien se encarga de todos

los necesitados. Y nos reunimos todos el día del sol, primero porque este día es el primero de la creación, cuando Dios empe-zó a obrar sobre las tinieblas y la materia; y también porque es el día en que Jesucristo, nuestro Salvador, resucitó de entre los muertos. Le crucificaron, en efecto, la víspera del día de Sa-turno, y al día siguiente del de Saturno, o sea el día del sol, se dejó ver de sus apóstoles y discípulos y les enseñó todo lo que hemos expuesto a vuestra consideración. LA MATERNIDAD Las mamás pueden sostener por un momento las manos de sus hijos, pero a sus corazones para siempre.
