The wine, hosts, and tabernacle candle may be offered in honor of a loved one for a month.

THE WINE consecrated and distributed at all Masses today has been offered for the spiritual and temporal welfare of Efrain Roman. THE CANDLES used today at all Masses have been offered for the spiritual and temporal welfare of Sonia Rubio. THE HOSTS used today at all Masses have been offered for the spiritual and temporal welfare of Maria and Antonio Malhado. THE TABERNACLE CANDLE used today at all Masses has been offered for the repose of the soul of Tomasa Cedeño.

I never expected the Ecu ador Mission with the Newman Center would impact me as it did. I embarked on this mission not knowing what to exp ect as I had no id ea of th e sch edule or projects the Servant Sisters and Broth ers had prepared for us. The group was separated, girls stayed with the Nuns and guys stayed with the Priests. Both group s were assign ed different projects that ranged from sandin g and painting walls, fixing old pupil desks in th e school, distrib uting food baskets to homes in various communities, visiting the sick, bringing communion to the homebound, building a fence and painting a chapel recently repaired. There is so much spiritual and material need in th ose communities. Th e work that the priests and broth ers Servants of the Hou se of the Mother do is incredible. Honestly, spending time with them strength ened my priesthood. Their dedication to prayer and ministry is admirable and inspiring. They are constantly on the go; they are happy with the little they have and eat whatever is set on their table. I n ever heard a complaint come out of their mouths. They taught me to be thankful and grateful for all the blessings I have received. Today’s Gosp el remind s me of the Servant Sisters and Brothers of th e House of the Mother I met in th e Mission. Truly, they are blessed, the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God. I invite you to take time to meditate on the Beatitudes this week, our own call to holiness and to recognize all the blessings God has outpoured on your life, and say a little prayer for those who go without, for those who live in deplorable condition s and for those who leave everything behind to serve them with love and compassion.

Fr. Bismarck

Rejoice and be glad; your reward will be great in heaven.

Cuarto Domingo Del Tiempo Ordinario Mision Cumplida Nunca esperé que la Misión de Ecuador con el Centro Newman me impactara de tal forma a como lo hizo. Me embarqué en esta misión sin saber qué esperar ya que no tenía ni idea del programa o de los proyectos que las Hermanas y Hermanos Siervos habían preparado para nosotros. El grupo fue separado, las chicas se quedaron con las monjas y los chicos se quedaron con los sacerdotes, a ambos grupos se les asignaron diferentes proyectos que iban desde el lijado y pintura de paredes, reparación de antiguos escritorios de alumnos en la escuela, la distribución de canastas de alimentos a casas de varias comunidades, visita a los enfermos en sus casas, la construcción de una valla y pintar una capilla recientemente reparada. Hay tanta necesidad espiritual y material en esas comunidades. La obra que los sacerdotes y hermanos siervos del Hogar de la Madre hacen es increíble. Honestamente, compartir con ellos fortaleció mi sacerdocio. Su dedicación a la oración y al ministerio es admirable e inspirador. Ellos están constantemente en movimiento; Están contentos con lo poco que tienen y comen lo que se ponga en su mesa. Nunca oí una queja saliendo de sus bocas. Ellos me recordaron de ser agradecido por todas las bendiciones que tengo. El Evangelio de hoy me recuerda a las Hermanas Servidoras y Hermanos del Hogar de la Madre que conocí en la Misión. En verdad, ellos son bienaventurados, los pobres en espíritu, porque de ellos es el reino de Dios. Les invito a tomar tiempo para meditar sobre las Bienaventuranzas esta semana, nuestro propio llamado a la santidad, y reconocer todas las bendiciones que Dios ha derramado en tu vida y decir una pequeña oración por aquellos que no tienen nada, por aquellos que viven en condiciones deplorables y en especial por aquellos que abandonan todo para servir con amor y compasión a los mas necesitados.

P. Bismarck

Newark received many immigrants from Ireland due to the terrible Potato Famine of the 1840s. Bishop Hughes of New York authorized Father Patrick Moran, pastor of St. John’s on Mulberry Street, to build a new church for the Irish immigrants. Father Moran purchased the land for St. Patrick’s in 1846. Father Moran signed a contract with a builder but the builder ran off with the money!
