CONGRATULATIONS ST. JOSEPH’S!
Dear Fr. McGuire,
Congratulations to you and St. Joseph Parish in Greenwich
Village on exceeding your 2014 Cardinal’s Annual
Stewardship Appeal goal! I am pleased to share that we are
once again on track to reach our $20 million goal. This
would not be possible without your leadership and effort.
“Having come down in a cloud, the Lord stood with
Moses there and proclaimed his name, ‘Lord.’ Thus the
Lord passed before him and cried out. ‘The Lord, the
Lord, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and
rich in kindness and fidelity.’ Moses at once bowed down
to the ground in worship. Then he said ‘If I find favor
with you, O Lord, do come along in our company.’”
The authors of Exodus writing so long ago, teach us today of
the beautiful relationship Moses enjoyed with God. Even
with so many difficulties and frustrations, Moses expressed
total dependence on God who is described as merciful and
kind, slow to anger and rich in kindness.
As I acknowledge these revealed attributes, it allows me to
approach God with great confidence and assurance. I know
He shows mercy to all, including myself. I know He is
gracious as He welcomes me into His company and takes me
under His wings. I know He does not get angry, even when I
disappoint Him. I know He is faithful to His promises.
If I am truly convinced of this reality my prayer should
begin as did that of the great lawgiver ‘If I find favor with
you O Lord, do come along in our company’. What a
wonderful mantra as I pause to pray each day, for I believe
He does find favor with me. ‘Hail oh highly favored one…’
I too wish to enjoy such a relationship with my God.
His Word Today by Rev. William J. Reilly
Please know how deeply grateful I am to you and your
parish community. As a family of faith, we have a
responsibility to keep the wider Church strong and vibrant.
You have helped ensure that our archdiocese can continue to
teach, serve, heal, and sanctify. Keep up the good work!
With renewed gratitude and prayerful best wishes, I remain
Fraternally in Christ,
Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan
Archbishop of New York

In today’s first reading, Moses invites God to accompany the
people whom he describes as “stiff-necked” and in need of
God’s pardon. In the second reading, St. Paul tells the
Corinthians to mend their ways.
In the Gospel, St. John assures us that God loves us despite
out faults and, to prove it, sent Jesus to save us. God only
asks one thing: that we believe.
Thus, let us ask ourselves: Do I believe? How might I mend
my ways? Using St. Paul’s advice, do I need to encourage
others more, be more agreeable, live more peacefully?
Let’s give it a try.

SUPPORT THE DWELLING PLACE
Please support the Franciscan Sisters of Allegheny who
run The Dwelling Place Shelter for Homeless Women by
buying their fundraising raffle tickets after all masses. The
raffle tickets are the signature annual fundraiser for The
Dwelling Place.
The Sisters goal is to raise $50,000 in this effort!
The Dwelling Place does not receive government funding,
therefore all monies raised will benefit the running of the
organization, a meal program and a shelter program.
The daily meal program is for the women in the shelter, they
are fed 3 meals a day including snacks. Once a week, the
Sisters also host an open meal program available to all
women to come and eat a good meal.
Your donation also provides heating costs, in essence, a
warm place for the women to live. Please be generous with
your support!

REFLECTION
Being a Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a
lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which
gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.

Thanks solely to this encounter—or renewed encounter—
with God’s love, which blossoms into an enriching
friendship, we are liberated from our narrowness and selfabsorption.

We become fully human when we let God bring us beyond
ourselves in order to attain the fullest truth of our being.
6:30 PM 1st /mo
Here we find the source and inspiration of all our efforts at
evangelization. For if we have received the love which
restores meaning to our lives, how can we fail to share that
love with others?
