MIDDLETOWN, N J
Dear Parishioners,
Another New Year is ushered in this weekend; it just seems like hours since
we did this last year. I look back over the past year and I thank God for all of
you who have made our Church such a great place to gather, pray and
worship. Yes, we have gone through some changes in the people who lead us
in prayer and in the way we pray but you have continued to be great signs to
one another and to all of us of the presence of the Holy Spirit among us. You
are such great stewards of the community that all of us make up giving of
yourselves in time, talent and treasure to make it be able to continue to grow.
Even in difficult times, as we have been experiencing, you have journeyed
together supporting one another.
We welcome among us Fr. Juan Pablo from Guatemala. He ministers in our
sister-parish in Sololá and we’re happy as he comes to us from one parish that
lives under the patronage of Our Blessed Mother to ours, as we celebrate
Mary’s feast day under her title as Mother of God. Please introduce yourself
to Fr. Juan Pablo during this weekend. As I shared with you last February – it
was a great privilege for me to join his community in Guatemala for a few
days and it certainly is tremendous that he is able to be with us this weekend.
Twinning is all about relationship in God’s Kingdom and for us to be
twinning with our sister-parish in Sololá is of great spiritual benefit to us as
we are empowered by their prayers and encouraged by their faith. May we
pledge this weekend to continue in supportive prayer for each other and
acknowledge how we can grow in relationship with God as we build
connection with one another here in God’s Kingdom on earth.
The Season of winter is with us and it is time to be on the look out for one
another. If someone lives alone near you try to connect with them and if that
person needs help be aware of what signals they might be giving to you.
Encourage people who live alone to wear medical alert buttons on them at all
times especially during the winter. Our spirit of helpfulness to one another in
our neighborhoods is a wonderful gift and a great way for all to be good
steward towards one another. Oft times during the winter just bringing the
mail to the door might be a tremendous gift for someone who otherwise might
be at risk if they try to get to the mailbox.
The Christmas Season continues to the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord,
which is on January 9th. Try to keep the Nativity Set in our house
prominently displayed through the end of the Season. Our culture is always
anxious to get on to the next season but as Christmas is such a wonderful
piece of our calendar, let us celebrate it through the Feast of Jesus’ Baptism.
God bless all of you as we begin this New Year. May it be a year of healing and peace to all!
Fr. Mike

Prayer for the New Year
“Glory to God in the highest!
-and peace to His people on earth!”
Dear Lord, at the beginning of this New Year, I remember that You are a God of beginnings and
endings. You created the world, with all its eternal patterns. Winter begins in frost, and ends in
Spring's thaw. Spring begins in new, green life, ending in Summer's heat. Summer begins in
sunshine, and ends in Autumn's breezes. And Autumn's color leads to the white of Winter again.
As another year ends and begins in our lives,
help us to remember that You have made a world of cycles. When fortune turns to trials, or
hardship turns to joy, help me take delight in the life I've received from You. Remind me that I will
one day pass from this world and enter a new life like those who've gone before me.
Amen.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
May the Light of Our Faith Shine in Words and Actions
Faith – the beginning of eternal life
#163 Faith makes us taste in advance the light of the beatific vision, the goal of our journey here
below. Then we shall see God “face to face,” “as He is.” So faith is already the beginning of
eternal life.
Catechism of the Catholic Churc h
#165 It is then we must turn to the witnesses of faith: To Abraham, to the Virgin Mary. . . . . . . .
Catechism of the Catholic Church
#166 Faith is a personal act – the free response of the human person to the initiative of God who
reveals Himself. But faith is not an isolated act. No one can believe alone. . . . .you have not
given yourself faith as you have not given yourself life. THE BELIEVER HAS RECEIVED FAITH
FROM OTHERS AND SHOULD HAND IT ON TO OTHERS. OUR LOVE FOR JESUS AND FOR OUR
NEIGHBOR IMPELS US TO SPEAK TO OTHERS ABOUT OUR FAITH.

When There Is A Will, There Is . . . . .
A Record of Your Wishes – Making a will makes you think
about the future. It sets down your wishes and plans for
your estate, whatever its size. Without one, state law
dictates who and what your relatives receive. Plus, naming
an executor puts someone you trust in charge.
We take this opportunity to thank the John F. Pfleger
Funeral Home for supplying our parish with calendars
for the New Year.

MARY, THE HOLY MOTHER OF GOD
Nurturing generous disciples to serve
as the hands and feet of Christ
“And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.”
Luke 2:19
How lightly Mary held Jesus. She did not clutch Him to her but held Him out for
the world to know. She knew that He did not belong to her alone. From the
moment of His birth she was called upon to share Him with strangers who flocked
to see Him. In the same way, we are also called to hold our blessings lightly, being
willing to share what God has given to us with those whom God may lead to us.
As this New Year begins, let us look to Mary as a grace-filled model of sharing all
that God might ask of us.

MARY, THE HOLY MOTHER OF GOD
St. Mary’s Parish Faith Community Nursing Ministry
Beat Bronchitis
1/ Avoid the #1 Culprit - Smoking
Folks who light up are 10 times more likely to develop bronchitis than nonsmokers, and even secondhand
smoke is shown to irritate airways, worsening chest infections.
2/ Slow Your Breathing to Ease Discomfort
People with chronic bronchitis tend to breathe too fast, worsening symptoms. To slow breathing and feel
better fast, use a technique that Mayo Clinic researchers call “pursed – lip breathing.” Take a deep breath then
slowly breathe out through your mouth while pursing your lips (as if you’re about to give someone a kiss). Repeat
10 times.
3/ Turn on a Humidifier to Relieve Coughing
Warm moist air helps loosen mucus in your bronchial tubes and stops coughs, say Mayo researchers.
Do You Need To See A Doctor?
The American Academy of Family Physicians recommends checking in with your doctor if . . .
* You have a fever of 101F or higher
* You cough up blood
* You have trouble breathing only when you lie down
* Your cough lasts more than one month.

MARY, THE HOLY MOTHER OF GOD
If you look for Me
at Christmas
You won’t need a special star ----I’m no longer just in Bethlehem,
I’m right there where you are.
You may not be aware of Me
amid the celebrations ----You’ll have to look beyond the stores
and all the decorations.
But if you take a moment
from your list of things to do
and listen to your heart, you’ll find
I’m waiting there for you.
You’re the one I want to be with,
you’re the reason that I came,
And you’ll find Me in the stillness
as I’m whispering your name.
Love,
Jesus
