From the Pastor
July 5, 2015
14th Sunday in
Ordinary Time - B
In week 4 of my
summer
sacred
study series on the
4
Eucharistic
Prayers for Various
Needs [EPFVN] which is really only one EP with 4 themes or
variations - we appropriately reflect on the
Preface or Introduction for EPFVN-III: ‘Jesus, the
Way to the Father.’ For this variation of the
EPFVN is suggested when Mass is offered: For
the Evangelization of Peoples, For Persecuted
Christians, For the Nation or State, For Those in
Public Office, For a Governing Assembly, At the
Beginning of the Civil Year, and For the Progress
of Peoples. So this is the perfect Preface to pray
at Mass on Independence Day weekend
Preface for EPFVN-III: Jesus, the Way to the Father
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks,
holy Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
through Christ our Lord.
For by your Word you created the world
and you govern all things in harmony.
You gave us the same Word made flesh as
Mediator, and he has spoken your words to us
and called us to follow him.
He is the way that leads us to you,
the truth that sets us free,
the life that fills us with gladness
Through your Son you gather men and women,
whom you made for the glory of your name,
into one family, redeemed by the Blood of his
Cross and signed with the seal of the Spirit.
Therefore, now and for ages unending,
with all the Angels, we proclaim your glory,
as in joyful celebration we acclaim:
”And The Word Was Made Flesh.” This Preface
is rooted in the Fourth Gospel, the one
according to Saint John, which begins by
declaring how God’s Word was present BEFORE
creation, is present IN creation and THROUGH
WHOM all creation continues to exist. For the
Word IS God, who became flesh [C.f. John 1:4a] so
God could live among us - as one of us: a human
person. But with all due respect for other
religions, the non-religious and even the antireligious, all of whom we seek to live with in
harmony, we must profess our firm conviction
that if we are not one nation under God, we are
doomed to fail … as did every nation and empire
that rejected or ignored God!
Jesus is “the Way, the Truth and the Life.” This
quote, also taken from the Fourth Gospel [C.f.
John 14:6] places on the lips of Jesus a statement
that causes some to cringe. For if, as Jesus said,
HE is the way, the truth and the life, any other
‘way,’ ‘truth’ or ‘life’ can - at best- only point to
the one true Way, Truth and Life. While we
must criticize and do all we can to stop those
who force others to convert or live by any
particular Faith - and must repudiate our own
sad history of forcing people to be baptized - we
cannot stop respectfully proclaiming - and
giving witness by the example of our own lifethat Jesus - and only Jesus - is the Way, the
Truth and the Life.
How is Jesus, as this Preface says, the ‘Way that
leads to [God?]’ As our God in human form,
only Jesus speaks AS God; all others merely
speak about or for God. And while others can
call and challenge us to live as brothers and
sisters, only Jesus makes us His sisters and
brothers in Baptism. So He alone provides the
framework or family structure by which we truly
become brothers and sisters of Him and each
other under the “one God and Father of us all.”
[Ephesians 4:6]
How is Jesus “the Truth that sets us free?” Only
in Jesus can we find the fullness of revelation
and the complete source of divine grace; thus all
other ‘truths’ are lacking something. However,
unless we totally live by His ‘truth’ all cannot be
free. Case in point: until we respect and uphold
the dignity of every human person from
conception to death - the unborn, unwanted
and many others - are NOT free.
How is Jesus “the life that fills us with
gladness?” Only Jesus can offer us the things
that last forever: full remission of our sins, which
He paid for us by redeeming us by His Blood
shed on the Cross; a seat at the eternal banquet
table in heaven; the graces that come to us from
the Sacraments, especially His most holy Body
and Blood. We are even sealed or branded with
the Spirit of God so we can be the channels of
God’s love, life, hope and peace to our fellow
citizens of the USA and to all the world. And
may God bless America! Happy 4th of July!
In His holy Name,
Rev. Thomas J. Serafin

This Weekend’s Readings
Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
First Reading: Ezekiel 2:2-5
Ezekiel is moved to respond to the call of God
and to accentuate his teaching with a direct
reference to the Word of God.
Second Reading: II Corinthians 12:7-10
Paul had questioned the value of his suffering,
and God replied, “My grace is enough for you,
for strength is made perfect in weakness.” Paul
then realized that although he was weak
against persecution, he was strong in faith.
Gospel: Mark 6:1-6a
Jesus could do little for those in his own part of
the country, for their lack of faith in him was so
great. Therefore, he spent much of his time
teaching in neighboring villages instead.

RCIA: The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
+ Have you been considering the possibility of
becoming a member of the Catholic Church?
+ Is there someone in your life - a spouse,
fiancé, child - with whom you’d like to share
their Catholic Faith?
+ Have you been coming to Mass for years and
feel now is the time for you to become a
member of the parish community?
Whatever your reasons might be for choosing
to become Catholic, beneath that choice is God
who is calling you to “Come and see!”
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is
the way in which adults become fully active,
participating members of the Catholic Church.
The RCIA is intended for:
 adults who are not baptized,
 adults who have been baptized into a nonCatholic denomination,
 Catholics who have been baptized but have
never received Eucharist or Confirmation.
We extend an invitation now to “Come and see”
- see how Jesus may be calling you, see what the
RCIA process entails and how it can make a
difference in your life! Note that now is the time
to ask questions, to listen and to be open to the
Spirit of God - Commitment to the process may
follow in the weeks and months ahead. For
more information, please contact Diane Luceri
at 782-1475 X 14 or dluceri@easeton.net. Adult
Catholics needing Confirmation should also
contact Diane.

Catholic Charities, Diocese of Metuchen is
seeking loving families to foster children of all
ages, who have been abused, neglected or have
had multiple out of home placements, through
its

adoption, or independent living.
Catholic Charities provides these resilient
children with individual and family therapy,
assistance with educational and medical needs,
and independent living skills to help them reach
their full potential.
Applicants must have adequate space for a child
and complete a home study which includes
background checks, references, interviews, and
a home inspection.
All Catholic Charities
licensed families receive initial and ongoing
specialized training, 24 hour emergency access
to staff, respite services, monthly reimbursement
for the child’s expenses and support from
experienced families.
For more information about the program, please
visit www.ccdom.org or contact Miguelina
Nunez at 866-247-HOME (4663) or at
mnunez@ccdom.org.

Your first responsibility
is to take care of your needs
and the needs of your family –
not necessarily all their wants.
In looking at what we need
versus what we want,
we end up placing material things
and money in their proper perspective.
