TRANSCRIPT
Jesus’ Call to All: “Come and Follow Me”
In Gratitude for Fr. Tim Christy…..
So many of us could share a particular moment when Fr. Tim offered words
of prayer, encouragement in times of difficulty, or spiritual guidance which
has influenced our faith. The parish community of St Magdalen’s has been
blessed to have a pastor with such wisdom and faith in God.
With a strong devotion to our Mother Mary and a heart for evangelization,
Fr Tim has modeled in his own life what it means to trust in the Holy Spirit.
As pastor, Fr Tim has echoed the words of Benedict XVI by developing a
vibrant parish that embraces the richness of Catholic Tradition and encour-
ages discipleship for evangelization.
“I encourage all the faithful to renew their personal and communal encounter with Christ,
the word of life made visible, and to become his heralds….There is no greater priority than
this: to enable the people of our time once more to encounter God, the God who speaks to
us and shares his love so that we might have life in abundance (cf. Jn 10:10).
We offer our sincere prayers for Fr. Tim as he transitions into his new role as Vicar for Evangelization and
Communication in the Diocese of Metuchen.
Fr. Tim has taught our community that nothing is ever complete here on earth. We must have expectant faith
of how the Holy Spirit will continue to guide our parish under the leadership of our new pastor Fr Brighenti.
Our love and prayers remain with you Fr Tim,
St Magdalen De Pazzi Parish Community
“In all its activities the parish encourages and trains its members to
be evangelizers. It is a community of communities, a sanctuary where
the thirsty come to drink in the midst of their journey, and a center of
constant missionary outreach. We must admit, though, that the call to
review and renew our parishes has not yet sufficed to bring them
nearer to people, to make them environments of living communion
and participation, and to make them completely mission-oriented.”

What Your Kids Are Learning in
Religious Education
Uncomfortable in Silence
Why is Silence so uncomfortable? We have gone to great
pains in our modern world to replace silence with
background noise; whether it be in the car, at the gym, or
even while standing in an elevator. Yet what makes silence
so difficult for us? In the silence, we are alone with
ourselves and our thoughts. In our thoughts God speaks.
Perhaps we fear to think about our unanswered questions,
our unfulfilled desires, and our un-calmed fears. Yet, God’s
primary language is silence precisely because He uses such
questions to draw us to Himself. In Eucharistic Adoration
we can come before God with our questions, our desires,
and our fears and have no doubt that He will indeed speak
to us. Reality is not always pleasant to look upon yet when
we approach Jesus in the silence of prayer we are
practicing the virtue of fortitude. If we come before Him to
receive His words of truth, He will set us free from all fear
and anxiety.
Come let the Lord love you. Come be with the Lord.
Adoration Takes Place:
From after the 9:00 am Mass until 11:00 pm, Monday, Tuesday, and Friday
From after the 9:00 am Mass until 7:00 pm Wednesday and Thursday
Overnight Adoration takes place Every First Friday of the month until 8am Mass
(See website for details) For more information or to sign-up for an hour,

This segment will take a look at what 7th and 8th graders are
learning in the classroom in preparation for Confirmation.
Eucharistic Adoration
The Church is Apostolic
Main Message: Jesus established His Church and built
it upon the foundation of the Apostles.
Jesus lived on this earth for 33 years, yet He
preached and taught for only three of those years.
In the grand scheme of things, the number of
people He interacted with, taught, and healed was
relatively small. However, Jesus became incarnate,
not only for those who lived in Israel during His
lifetime, but for all of humanity. Therefore, Jesus
established a Church to continue His mission of
preaching, healing, and teaching. He established
His Church and entrusted it to His twelve apostles.
Once Jesus ascended into Heaven these same men
went out to the entire world to share what they had
learned from the Master. Today our Church is still
led by the successors of the apostles: bishops. For
over 2000 years the line of succession has never
been broken; the apostles ordained men to become
bishops and these men ordained others to become
bishops and priests to the present day. Through our
bishops and priests, Jesus leads and guides the
Church.

Encountering Christ
Saint of the Week
Encountering Christ
in Reconciliation
While we can encounter
GOD at many different
times in our lives, one
memorable encounter for
me was in the Sacrament
of Reconciliation many
years ago. I was in my
last year of law school
and had been recognizing GOD’s pull on my heart to
go to Confession. At that point, I hadn’t been to
Confession for over 10 years. It was a struggle for
me to go because it had been so long, and I hadn’t
been exactly living a life of virtue.
Though I didn’t realize it, GOD was gently and
patiently leading me to that point through several
different circumstances. While I resisted along
the way, He kept pursuing me. After several
months, I finally, through GOD’s grace, went to
Confession. Because it had been so long, I didn’t
even remember what to say and had to research it
before going, which also led me to make a very
thorough examination of my conscience. When
entering the confessional, GOD simply didn’t say,
“Good luck, I’ll see you when you’re done.” Rather,
I felt His presence with me throughout the entire
Confession. During my Confession, I was nervous,
ashamed, and embarrassed. As a result, I spoke so
softly that the priest patiently asked me to speak up
several times because he couldn’t hear me. Even in
my doubt and embarrassment, the LORD gave me
the strength to make an honest and complete
Confession. After hearing the beautiful words of
absolution from the priest, I felt like a weight was
lifted off my shoulders. However, it was more than
just a feeling. I had directly encountered GOD’s
infinite love and mercy for me at that moment.
Though it is difficult to fully describe, it revived my
whole life and my inspiration to grow closer to GOD.
I had peace and clarity again about my path in life. I
suddenly had more hope about my future and my
relationship with GOD, and that has continued to this
day, particularly during the times that I fall.
Wherever you are in your journey, ask GOD to
open your hearts to receive His mercy and love not
just through going to Confession, but in every aspect
of your lives.

Primera Lectura: Jeremías 20:10-13 El profeta Jeremías fue acusado ya que predijo el desastre de Jerusalén. Pero Jeremías confiaba en el Señor y venció a sus perseguidores. Segunda Lectura: Romanos 5:12-15 Pablo explica a los romanos que el pecado de Adán trajo la muerte a todos, pero que el regalo de Cristo de darse a sí mismo trajo gracia y vida. Evangelio: San Mateo 10:26-33 Con palabras de aliento y de autoridad, Jesús incita a los apóstoles a no temer nada, sólo a aquel que puede destruir su alma. Les dice que “hasta los cabellos de la cabeza los tienen contados”, y promete que “Si alguien se declara a mi favor delante de los hombres, yo también me declararé a favor de él delante de mi Padre que está en el cielo.”
