Last Week’s Collection
The collection total for last weekend was $20,617.00. The
collection for the same weekend last year was $23,714.00.
Thank you for your continued support and generosity.
Deacon Henry Babin of the Diocese of Jackson, Mississippi, will
be with us this weekend, July 9 and 10 to appeal for help for the
Diocese of Jackson. It is the largest diocese east of the
Mississippi River, whose Catholic population is around 50,000
people. The Diocese of Jackson has 65 counties, 29 of which
do not have a resident priest. An appeal came recently to hire
a sister for one of these priestless counties. We had to say,
“We’re sorry; there is not enough money.” And so, that leaves
another county without Catholic presence of any kind. Won’t
you help us to make the Church present in our diocese; which
is less than 3% Catholic?
Mission Appeals make it possible for over 1000 poor and
underprivileged children to attend Pre-school and Elementary
School in the Diocese of Jackson. Because of these programs,
we are also able to feed several hundred children and young
people in the summertime at our Mission Schools. Because of
the generosity of the people who participate in our appeals,
people who have the fewest opportunities are given choices
they would never experience.
Casserole Collection
We will be collecting frozen casseroles on Monday, July 11 at
the Heritage House from 7:00 to 8:00 pm, and on Tuesday, July
12 from 1:00 to 2:00 pm. All casseroles are delivered to
Catholic Charities in Delanco. They are then distributed to
families in need throughout Burlington County. Baking pans are
available in the room behind the Sacred Heart statue in the
upper church.
Summer Blood Drive
The Knights of Columbus will be sponsoring a summer blood
drive in the Heritage House on Sunday, July 24 from 8:00 am –
2:00 pm. Blood is always in short supply in New Jersey and the
summer’s chronic shortage of blood and blood donors has
already begun. Please help this important cause and donate if
you can. The need is URGENT!
A question frequently asked is “what are the requirements for
being eligible to donate blood?” In short, you must be at least
17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds, and have not donated
on or after May 27, 2011. We strongly recommend that you
reserve a donation time to minimize your wait. Please call Joe
Graham at (856) 778-0043 or John Butler at the parish office
(856) 235-0181 or email kofc1082@catholicweb.com.
Volunteers Needed
We need two (2) generous members of our Parish to serve at
nursing homes as Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist on
the Fifth Sunday of the month. Each person will serve 4 times a
year, for 2 hours of time following the 9:00 am Sunday Mass.
An experienced EM will train you individually on a one-to-one
basis. Do you think you could serve God in this very special
ministry only 4 times a year? The nursing home residents are
always so grateful when you bring the Eucharist to them. Your
presence will help them to maintain their vital spiritual link to
Church. Please contact Toni Mulqueen at (609) 877-3382;
email: a.mulqueen@comcast.net.

Free Fire Wood
Last year, we had a tree taken down on the far side of the
Quinn House. A parishioner said that they would take the wood
so we had the tree service leave the tree trunk. The person
changed his mind and the wood has been sitting there since
then. If anybody in interested in some fire wood, you may help
yourself. Due to the large size of the pieces, you will have to
split the pieces in order to load them on your truck or trailer
though. This wood is available on a first come, first served
basis. The wood will be removed by the tree service in mid July
if nobody takes it away first.
Whole Community Catechesis
Gospel – Matthew 13:1-23
On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the
sea. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a
boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore.
And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying:
"A sower went out to sow.
And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came
and ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil.
It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when
the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots.
Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and
choked it.
But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or
sixty or thirtyfold. Whoever has ears ought to hear."
The disciples approached him and said,
"Why do you speak to them in parables?"
He said to them in reply,
"Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of
heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been
granted. To anyone who has, more will be given and he will
grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be
taken away.
This is why I speak to them in parables, because they look but
do not see and hear but do not listen or understand.
Isaiah's prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says:
You shall indeed hear but not understand,
you shall indeed look but never see.
Gross is the heart of this people,
they will hardly hear with their ears,
they have closed their eyes,
lest they see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their hearts and be converted,
and I heal them.
"But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears,
because they hear. Amen, I say to you, many prophets and
righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it,
and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
"Hear then the parable of the sower. The seed sown on the
path is the one who hears the word of the kingdom without
understanding it, and the evil one comes and steals away what
was sown in his heart.
The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word
and receives it at once with joy.
But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some
tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he
immediately falls away.
The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word,
but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word
and it bears no fruit.
But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word
and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred
or sixty or thirtyfold."
Question of the Week:
Adult: In you life, how has the seed of faith fallen on good soil?
Child: What things do you do to help your seeds of faith grow?

Respect Life Quote
“This is not a church issue; this is a civil rights issue, the
premier civil rights issue of our day! All we are asking is that
the equal protection of the law promised by our beloved
constitution be applied to the pre-born baby. All we’re promoting
is the noble right to life assured in our nation’s foundational
documents, which list the right to life first among those
inalienable rights no one has the power to take away.”
~ Most Rev. Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York and
USCCB President, Speech at the Fourth Annual
Respect Life Week, Yonkers, NY, Jan. 9, 2011

Words in the
Roman Missal,
Third Edition
Some of the words used in the new translation of the Mass may
be unfamiliar to some Catholics. The following list of definitions
may help to increase your understanding of the rich theology
that underlies these texts.
Abasement: The lowering of one of higher rank. Jesus abased
himself in that, though he was God, he lowered himself and
became a human being so that he might save us from our sins
(see Phil 2:6-11).
Adoption: In Baptism, the Holy Spirit transforms us into
children of the Father, thereby making us his adopted sons and
daughters in the likeness of his eternal Son (see Eph 1:3-6). In
this way, the faithful are made “partakers in the divine nature
(cf. 2 Pt 1:4) by uniting them in a living union with the only Son,
the Savior” (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC], no.
1129). In the sacraments, we become the sons and daughters
of God by adoption through Christ Jesus.
Angels and archangels, cherubim and seraphim, thrones
and dominions: Spiritual, personal, and immortal creatures,
with intelligence and free will, who glorify God and serve him as
messengers of his saving plan. Traditionally, the choirs of
angels have been divided into various ranks, including
archangels, cherubim, seraphim, thrones,
dominions,
principalities, and powers (see Col 1:16).
Chalice: From the Latin word “calix” meaning “cup” (see Ps
116:13; Mt 20:22; 1 Cor 10:16). The use of this term in the
Liturgy points to the chalice’s function as a particular kind of cup
and indicates the uniqueness of what it contains, the very Blood
of Christ.
July 10, 2011
Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Clemency: The loving kindness, compassion, or mercy that
God shows to sinners.
Communion: Our fellowship and union with Jesus and other
baptized Christians in the Church, which has its source and
summit in the celebration of the Eucharist. By receiving Jesus
in Holy Communion, we are united to him and one another as
members of his Body.
Consecration: The dedication of a thing or person to divine
service by a prayer or blessing. In the Mass, “consecration” also
refers to the words spoken by the priest whereby the bread and
wine are transformed into the risen Body and Blood of Jesus.
Consubstantial: The belief, articulated in the Nicene
Creed, about the relationship of the Father and the Son: that “in
the Father and with the Father, the Son is one and the same
God” (CCC, no. 262).
Contrite: To be repentant within one’s heart and mind for sins
committed and to resolve not to sin again.
Covenant: A solemn agreement between human beings,
between God and a human being, or between God and a
people involving mutual commitments or promises. In the Old
Testament, God made a covenant with the Jewish people.
Jesus, through his death and Resurrection, made a new
covenant with the whole of humanity. One enters into this new
covenant through faith and Baptism.
Damnation: Eternal separation from God’s love caused by
dying in mortal sin without repentance.
Page 5
Mediator: One who unites or reconciles separate or opposing
parties. Thus, Jesus Christ is the “one mediator between God
and the human race” (1 Tm 2:5). Through his sacrificial offering
he has become high priest and unique mediator who has
gained for us access to the Father through the Holy Spirit.
Merit: The reward that God promises and gives to those who
love him and who by his grace perform good works. One cannot
earn justification or eternal life; they are the free gifts of God.
Rather our merit is from God through Christ in the Holy Spirit.
The Father freely justifies us in Christ through the indwelling of
the Spirit; and Christians, by the same Holy Spirit, are
empowered to do good works of love and justice. In cooperating
with the Holy Spirit, the faithful receive further grace and thus,
in Christ, cooperate in the work of their salvation.
Oblation: A gift or sacrifice offered to God.
Only-Begotten Son: This title “signifies the unique and eternal
relationship of Jesus Christ to God his Father: he is the only
Son of the Father (cf. Jn 1:14, 18; 3:16, 18); he is God himself
(cf. Jn 1:1)” (CCC, no. 454). Jesus is the Son of God not by
adoption but by nature.
Paschal: Referring to Christ’s work of redemption
accomplished through his Passion, death, Resurrection, and
Ascension. Through the Paschal Mystery, Jesus destroyed our
death and restored us to life. The Paschal Mystery is celebrated
and made present in the Liturgy so that we can obtain the fruit
of Jesus’ death and Resurrection, that is, the forgiveness of our
sins and the new life of the Holy Spirit.
Godhead: The mystery of one God in three Persons: Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.
Patriarchs: Title given to the venerable ancestors or “fathers”
of the Semitic peoples, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who
received God’s promise of election.
Homage: The honor, respect, and reverence due to another.
Homage is especially due to God, for he is eternal, all good, all
holy, and all loving.
Precursor: One who comes before as a herald. John the
Baptist is the precursor of Jesus.
Implore: To plead, beseech, or ask with humility. This is an
example of the self-deprecatory language in the Roman Missal
that helps to express our dependence on God. We humbly beg
the Father to hear and answer our prayers, for we ask them in
the power of the Holy Spirit and in the name of Jesus.
Incarnation: The Son of God assumed human nature and
became man by being conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb
of the Virgin Mary. Jesus is true God and true man. As man, the
Son of God obtained our salvation. The use of this term in the
Nicene Creed indicates that Jesus’ birth has a signifi cance
beyond that of any other human birth.
Ineffable: That which cannot be conceived or expressed fully
(see 1 Cor 2:6-9). One cannot, for example, adequately
describe in concepts and words the mystery of the Trinity or the
mystery of the Incarnation.
Infusion: The Holy Spirit is poured into the hearts and souls of
believers, and so they are filled, or infused, with grace.
Intercessor: One who makes a petition on behalf of others.
Our unique intercessor is Jesus Christ, who intercedes on our
behalf with the Father (see Rom 8:34). The priest at Mass
acting in the person of Christ intercedes on behalf of the whole
Church.
Justification: The gracious action by which God frees us from
sin and makes us holy and righteous before him.
Lord, God of Hosts: From the word “sabaoth,” hosts are the
invisible powers that work at God’s command over heaven and
earth.
Provident grace: The free and undeserved gift that God gives
us as he protects and governs all creation.
Redemption: Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer
because he frees us from our sin through his sacrificial death
on the Cross.
Temporal: What pertains to this world of time and history, as
opposed to what pertains to God, such as our new life in Christ
through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Venerate: To show devotion and respect to holy things and
people. Catholics venerate relics and saints. Veneration must
be clearly distinguished from adoration and worship, both of
which pertain solely to the Trinity and Jesus as the Son of God.
