for this coming week

Growing through the

Sunday Scriptures

April 19, 2015

Third Sunday of Easter

Acts of the Apostles 3:13-15, 17-19

Psalm 4:2, 4, 7-8, 9

1 John: 2: 1-5

Luke 24:35-48

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke:

The two disciples recounted what had taken place on the

way, and how Jesus was made known to them in the

breaking of bread.

While they were still speaking about this, he stood in

their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” But

they were startled and terrified and thought that they were

seeing a ghost. Then he said to them, “Why are you

troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts?

Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.

Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh

and bones as you can see I have.” And as he said this, he

showed them his hands and his feet. While they were still

incredulous for joy and were amazed, he asked them,

“Have you anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece

of baked fish; he took it and ate it in front of them.

He said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to

you while I was still with you, that everything written

about me in the law of Moses and in the prophets and

psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to

understand the Scriptures. And he said to them, “Thus it

is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the

dead on the third day and that repentance, for the

forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all

the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses

of these things.”

Focus Questions:

1. The Gospel today begins with the line about the disciples

recognizing Jesus in the breaking of the bread. Describe a time

when you felt the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist in a deep

way.

2. Describe a time when you were startled by God.

3.Touch is in important part of what Jesus did during his life-

time. After the Resurrection Jesus invited his disciples to touch

him. When have you been touched by Jesus? When have you

touched Jesus?

Family and children’s question:

Jesus wanted his followers to spread the Good News of God’s

love. How do you let others know that God loves them?

FR. ANTONY’S LETTER

Dear Friends,

Teenager to Millionaire: “What is the first secret of

your success?”

Millionaire: “Hard Work”

Teenager: “What’s the second one?”

When we don’t focus on the first and the most important,

we will try to seek success by secondary options, only to

get disappointed and frustrated with life.

The Readings of the Second week of Easter invite us

to focus on the first and important facet– FAITH. The

story of doubting Thomas tells us how Jesus turns

Thomas from external proof to internal faith. Proofs will

only take us as far as to whether or not the other person

fits our expectations about him/her. Only faith in the

person will allow us to experience who he/she that person

is.

The Apostle Thomas relied on the mark of nails in

Jesus’s hands as proof to confirm the Jesus he knew.

But when Jesus appeared to him, he invited Thomas to

have a personal experience of him by believing in him.

Faith is the first and important thing to experience the

worth of the other person. No other thing but faith will

prove the other person’s worth. Human beings are

persons of love and relationships and not objects to be

proved and evaluated by our convenient standards, like

money, power, authority, popularity or glamour. The

story of doubting Thomas promises that “Blessed are

those who have not seen and have believed.”

First Holy Communion of our young men and women

will be celebrated on Saturday, April 25th and on May 2nd

at the 5:00pm Mass, and on Sunday, April 26th and May

3rd at the 12:15pm Mass. We appreciate everyone’s

understanding if their usual seat is not available at those

Masses.

Please mark your calendar for the volunteer

appreciation party on Friday May 1st at 6:30 pm. It is a

dinner and dance evening for all our volunteers. The

dinner is free; but please ensure your place by a deposit

of a check for $20 which will be returned to you when

you show up for the dinner. Since our volunteers number

over 325 and our banquet hall has only limited space, I

am obliged to limit the invitation to volunteers only.

Please understand. Welcome to all volunteers for the

appreciation party.

PARISH OUTREACH

More Easter Thoughts!!!!!

We proclaimed a general “thank you” last time

to those who had donated for Easter…but now

it’s time to get specific! To begin with, we must thank,


April 12, 2015

once again, the Prunty family, who donated twenty (20)

hams to the cause ( hooray!!!); Dolores Schroeder’s

Religion class who made up twelve (12) Easter baskets

(hooray!!!), Evelyn Mentock who donated Easter baskets

on behalf of the St. Thomas More Columbiettes (hooray!!!)

and also Maria Torquata’s 6th grade class who donated

$47.56 of their hard-earned money to Outreach (hooray!!!).

On a more pragmatic level, all those singles out there who

may be divorced, widowed or uncommitted and who are

over 45 – 60+, are invited to the St. Patrick’s Singles

Fellowship that meets once a month on the third Sunday,

from 10:00 – 11:30. You may expect to meet and greet, eat,

and plan events. You may also meet people who will

become your friends! Meetings are held in the building

behind the Church in Smithtown. Call 631-265-2668 for

details.

St Vincent de Paul Conference

What we do: The St Thomas More SVdP Conference

helps relieve some of the burden put on Outreach. When

the demand on Outreach goes beyond food and daily

necessities, Outreach calls us. We contact the neighbor in

need and arrange to meet with them in their home. We help

by paying bills, networking, finding jobs & temporary

housing, providing clothes and necessary furniture.

What we have been doing: We have been busy assisting

our neighbors who are behind in their rent; helping with car

insurance payments so people could continue to work;

providing furniture and clothing vouchers, and heating

assistance for others. Yes, we have ben busy and helpful

because of your generosity. Please check our Lenten

Project bulletin board in the narthex.

What you can do: Support the conference. All of your

donations are used to help those in our community … your

donations stay right here!

Although we have a close relationship with Outreach and

we work hand in hand, our funds are separate from

Outreach and require your support.

Donations can be made as follows:

Checks: SVdP St. Thomas More Conference

Cash: an envelope that says SVdP. Leave at the rectory.

Become a Vincentian. The only requirement is to have a

desire to help. Together, as a conference, we offer the many

skills and resources that enable to assist those in our

community.

For more information, please call 234-3249. You can also

contact the Parish SVdP Conference by emailing them at

[email protected] and you can follow them by liking

them on FACEBOOK at “SVdP Conference of

St. Thomas More”.

NEW WEBSITE—ST. THOMAS MORE

Did you know that St. Thomas More has a

website? We've had one in various forms since 1996,

but we have found that many parishioners don't

always make use of it. Recently the STM Pastoral

Council has been discussing social media and the

Internet at length. Like most communities, we have a

growing population of persons who use several types

of electronic media to stay in touch with information


April 12, 2015

and keep their lives organized. In order to more

effectively communicate parish information, we will

be making more use of Facebook and Twitter. We

have also re-launched our website with a brand new

design.

We even have a much easier to remember web

address now: stmli.org (that stands for "St. Thomas

More, Long Island").

The website can be viewed not only on your

computer, but on a smartphone or tablet as well. You

will be able to link to our parish Facebook page and

get connected to the Facebook and Twitter accounts

of our Religious Education program and our Youth

Program.

We will have contributed articles and postings from

several areas of the parish, including some of our

ministries, and will have a calendar of events covering

both regular events as well as the special ones that

take place during seasons such as Lent and

Advent. There will be several other features added to

site in the coming weeks. For now, make sure you

check out the new site by going to stmli.org and

bookmark it for future use.

Catholics for Freedom of Religion

"I am the way, the truth and the life" (John

14:6)

"You will know the truth and the truth will

make you free" (John 8:32)

Religious Freedom Restoration Act

(RFRA): Fact vs. Fiction

This past week, journalist abuse has exploded into

controversy over an innocuous religious freedom law

in Indiana. The federal RFRA was signed into law by

Pres. Clinton in 1993 and 20 states have substantially

the same law. (the federalist.com, 3/30/15)

Don't be fooled. The RFRA does NOT legalize

discrimination. Anyone that says that is misinformed

or worse. RFRA merely allows business owners to

refuse to perform their services if doing so is a

violation of their faith. (catholic vote.org, 4/2/15)

Under the various RFRAs, a state or the federal

government may not substantially burden an

individual's exercise of religion unless the burden is in

furtherance of a compelling government interest and

is the least restrictive means of furthering that

interest. If the government's interest is not important

enough - literally compelling - it cannot outweigh an

individual's right to practice his religion as he sees fit.

RFRA is a shield, not a sword. It can be used to

defend oneself against lawsuits or administrative

action. It can't be used to try and deprive others of the

protections of law. Despite there being no evidence for

discrimination under this law, journalists will simply

repeat this fiction as if it were true, and hope that

incurious, unsuspecting people will assume it. (the

federalist.com,3/30/15)

"The Gospel of Jesus Christ is for people who want to be

free, "free" in the truest sense. And its message is meant

for all of us - unless we choose to be afraid." Archbishop
