General Guidelines for attending Mass
1. The obligation to attend Mass is suspended

those who are older than 65 or have underlying
health conditions) are urged not to come to
Church for Mass. Those who cannot attend Mass
are encouraged to spend time daily reading the
Scriptures, praying with their families, watching a
broadcast or live-streamed Mass and making an
act of spiritual communion.
3. Those who feel in any way sick (e.g. oral
temperature higher than 99.5 degrees, cough,
chills, muscle aches, headache, sore throat or loss
of taste or smell) or who are worried about
attendance, should not enter the Church.
4. In accord with current state policy, the faithful
(over 2 years old) must wear cloth face coverings
when in public, including when they come to
Church.
5. Attendees should sanitize their hands at the
entrance of the Church via sanitizer stations.
6. All present at Mass should sit 6 feet or more
away from others in all directions. Families may

GOSPEL MEDITATION
Using the best seeds doesn’t always guarantee the
best plants. An older Italian gentleman straight from
Italy gave me these amazing tomato seeds that he
claimed produced the best tomatoes ever grown.
Without doubt, the fruit he shared with me was a
testament to that fact. These tomatoes were
amazing! I couldn’t wait until the next growing
season to plant these seeds and harvest my own
tomatoes. The whole experiment ended up a failure.
I did everything the gentleman said, but my fruit
didn’t even come close. What happened? At first I
was perplexed, then some years later the light
dawned. The problem wasn’t the seeds, it was the
soil!
You cannot sow seeds in any old place and in a
haphazard way and expect them to be at their best.
It doesn’t work that way. Planting the seeds is the
easiest part. Preparing the soil is the challenge.
Tilling, mulching, enriching, and building up the
nutrients are all required for good fruit. Then after
the seeds are planted, more care is required in order
to maintain that healthy, nutrient rich environment
for those seeds to sprout, grow, and flourish. God
happily sows the seeds of his Word. What do we do
with them?
If we expect to be a passive bystander and have
good fruit magically grow, we are mistaken. Bearing
the good fruit of God’s Word requires preparation
and work. We have to cultivate the soil of our lives
so that those seeds can find a proper home. This
one thing alone takes a great deal of patience, time,
and effort. What kind of preparation have we put
into our lives so that we can be a recipient of God’s
seed? It takes a great deal of soul-searching and
ego-checking to properly prepare. God is the ever
faithful and persistent sower. If the seeds do not
bear fruit the first time, God will come back time and
time again, giving it another try.
If we have created a suitable bed for sowing, then
once the seed is sown, we must properly maintain
them. What is our maintenance plan for the seeds of
God’s Word? We need not only a source for water
but a watering schedule. We need to weed, aerate
the soil, nurture the young plants, protect them, and
provide proper nutrients. What does our spiritual
maintenance plan look like? If we have done all
things well, imagine what the seeds of God’s Word
could produce in us!

A BLESSING
BEFORE SUMMER
VACATION
Take time to claim your strength;
they are gifts of God.
Take time to have fun;
it's God's way of teaching you your
strengths.
Take time to grow yourself;
only you can grow you.
Take time to trust yourself;
God trusts you.
Take time to be self-reliant;
it is better than being dependent.
Take time to share with others;
they will bless you, and you will bless
them.
Take time to have hope,
you are a child of God.
Let's put ourselves into the hands of the
Lord, and pray that God will bless us and
our families during the wonderful months
of summer.
May we all help make our home a place of
relaxation, joy, love, peace and safety.
May we be generous and considerate,
not thinking only about ourselves,
but helping others enjoy the blessings of a
summertime.
Lord God, Creator of all things,
guide our steps and strengthen our hearts,
during these months of summer and
vacation days.
Grant us refreshment of mind and body.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Can you help us?
St. Gabriel’s is looking for help
washing and i roning the
purificators and finger towels
which are used at each Mass. The previous
volunteers are no longer able to help. You
would be asked to do this about once every 2
months. If you are able to volunteer,
please call Sr. Amy, 718-548-4470.
