READINGS FOR SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2019 THIRTIY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: Wisdom 11:22–12:2 Second Reading: 2 Thessalonians 1:11–2:2
Gospel: Luke 19:1-10
FOCUS: No one is lost to the love of God.
In love, God created the world and all things in it. His
love for all souls moves him to forgive sins so all can
repent and know his love. Jesus Christ is the embodiment
of his love, and comes to invite and empower each of us,
especially the lost, to turn back to God and know the joy
of his mercy.
LITURGY OF THE WORD:
In the Book of Wisdom, the author says that God loves
all things because they are his, and he overlooks sin so
that all may repent. In the second reading, Paul offers
prayer and encouragement to the Thessalonians in their
efforts to glorify the Lord. In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus
empowers Zacchaeus to return to right relationship with
him.
Readings for next week, November 10, Thirty-Second
Sunday in Ordinary Time: 2 Maccabees 7:1-2, 9-14; 2
Thessalonians 2:16–3:5; Luke 20:27-38 or 20:27, 34-38

PARISH SACRIFICIAL GIVING Lectio Divina is a style of praying that uses Sacred Scripture.
When an individual prays this way, they insert themselves in
the story. Do you identify with Zacchaeus? How about with the
jealous onlookers, who cannot find forgiveness for a man like
Zacchaeus?

Dear Friends:
By happy coincidence, both of our adult religious education classes—the Catechism of the Catholic
Church and the Bible Study programs—have recently focused upon the “original” state of mankind as
described in the first chapters of Genesis. The sacred describes an idyllic scene: a physical paradise
requiring no toil to satisfy our first parents’ needs and desires, equality between man and woman, their
mutual dominion over other creatures, and friendship with God. Reading between the lines of Scripture,
St. Augustine understands the human person having a “foot” in both worlds: the material world (through
the body) and the spiritual world (through the soul). With its three spiritual powers—memory
(self-consciousness), understanding, and will—united in one person, the human soul is the very
reflection of God in the world. To call a human being the “image of God” (imago dei) is to recognize the
unique dignity of a human being, for only such a being is capable of sharing the life of God. What’s
more, in that condition of “original justice” there existed a perfect balance between the powers of the
soul. The will, for example, was content to possess only what was in accord with reason, and desire an
ever more profound love for God and neighbor.
Wonderful as the material universe may be, perhaps even more amazing is the interior life of human
beings, whose dominion over creation (Genesis 1:28) is both a God-given prerogative—and power. As
the Catechism of the Catholic Church points out (CCC 337), “Man’s ‘mastery’ was also mastery of self:
free from concupiscence, which subjugates him to pleasures of senses, covetousness, and self-assertion
contrary to reason.” Concupiscence indicates, among other things, a disruption of the harmony that
should exist between the aforementioned powers of the soul: memory, understanding, and will. The
tragedy of the Fall of Man (Genesis 3) is that the original harmony gave way to an internal war, whereby
people work against their own best interests and divine calling. By a strange paradox (CC398; 400),
“Man preferred himself to God and scorned the One who was to ‘divinize’ him…The control of the
soul’s spiritual faculties over the body is shattered.” If we were ever to doubt the existence of original
sin (that “deprivation of original justice”) we need only consider the tragic events—wars, crime,
cruelty—that currently grip the world, and the condition into which each new generation is born.
In all this, God’s love prevails. Catholicism holds that the grace of Baptism “erases original sin and turns
a man back to God” (CCC405). Human nature, while admittedly wounded, is never destroyed; indeed, it
is healed in Christ. Our very desire for happiness and truth becomes itself the occasion of wonder; God
ineluctably draws us near to him in the bonds of knowledge and love. The Blessed Mother’s fiat to the
divine will is the moment in which the Savior enters human history to effect that healing. Let us likewise
be open all the blessings the Lord has in store for us.
Faithfully,
Fr. Valentine

A REMINDER FOR LECTORS AND EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS
There will be training for liturgical ministers immediately after the 7-8 p.m. Catechism session on the
following Mondays:
November 4 at 8 p.m. Lectors
November 18 at 8 p.m. Eucharistic Ministers
November 25 at 8 p.m. Lectors

CATECHISM OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
Session Four Monday, November 4, 2019
7:00 p.m. in Msgr. Ryan Hall
THE HUMAN PERSON
Please read: Genesis 1, 3; Catechism of the Catholic Church: 356-378; 385-420
We Catholics often talk about “original sin,” but the Church also teaches us about “original
justice” as well. What is that? What does the coming of Christ into the world have to do with
God’s grace and our fallen nature?
BIBLE STUDY
Session Five: Thursday, November 7, 2019
7:00 p.m. in Msgr. Ryan Hall
OLD TESTAMENT ROOTS OF THE LAST SUPPER
The Eucharist is a central aspect of our Catholic Religion. Christ instituted this Sacrament at
the Last Supper, a Passover meal. We will explore how the first Passover, and the gift of
Manna, can help us understand and appreciate the Last Supper and the Eucharist.
Parishioners are encouraged to read about the Passover in Exodus, chapters 12 & 13, as well
as when God gives the people Manna in Exodus, chapter 16.
Our speaker will be Fr. Jason U. Grisafi. Fr. Grisafi is a priest of the Diocese of Rockville
Centre. He grew up in New Hyde Park and received his BS in Mathematics from Carnegie
Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. He did his priestly formation at Immaculate Conception
Seminary in Huntington, and was part of the first class to be ordained after that seminary’s
merger with St. Joseph Seminary in Yonkers. He holds both a M. Div. and an MA in
Theology. His first assignment was as a parochial vicar at St. Brigid parish in Westbury. He is
currently serving as pastor of St. Joseph parish in Babylon.
