Still Loving There are many ways to

remember your loved ones and to give some-

thing back to God at the same time. Many

people do so through donations for

1. Mass intentions, or 2. the bread and wine for

Mass, or 3. The sanctuary candles that burn to

indicate Christ’s presence in the tabernacle, or 4.

the Tree of Life . The tree is a beautiful way to

memorialize a loved one or loved ones, living or de-

ceased. For information, please call the rectory at

718-761-6663.

IN LOVING MEMORY

Why not donate the bread and wine

used for the Masses during the week

for a special intention of someone liv-

ing, or in memory of someone who

has passed on? Call the rectory 718-761-6663.

This week’s intention is on page 2.

HOW TO FIND JOY IN LENT

GIVE GLOOM AND DOOM A REST!

“When you fast,” Jesus advises His followers, “do

not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their

appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fast-

ing…..but when you fast, anoint your head and wash your

face, so that you may not appear to be fasting...and your

Father who sees what is hidden will repay you” (Matthew

6:16-18).

Lent is not meant to be a season of depression and

death but one for nurturing hope and new life. Franciscan

theologian and author Francis Baur puts it this way: “Lent

is not an end to itself….Lent is a stepping stone to and

preparation for something else, and that something else is

Easter…..the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus

Christ. Traditionally, Lent has been rightly viewed as a

time of preparation. It is, however, not a preparation for

death but always and only a preparation for life”.

Father Baur sees no reason “why the time of prepa-

ration for this most exhilarating of mysteries should be

morose or sad or life denying.” As another Catholic Up-

date has pointed out, Lent originally developed as a “40-

day retreat before Baptism,” that is, a preparation period

for converts who would receive the new life of Baptism

during the Easter Vigil ceremonies. Certainly, the focus of

our Lenten journey is nothing other than that wonderful

new life! That is God’s wish for us.

Why not increase your capacity for joy by giving up the

things that force joy out of your soul?

Give up resentment, and become more forgiving.

Give up hatred and return good for evil.

Give up complaining and be more grateful.

Give up pessimism and become more hopeful.

Give up worry and become more trusting.

Give up anger and become more patient.

Give up pettiness and become more noble.

Give up gloom and become more joyful.

OUR LENTEN VIDEOS

There is no better way to strengthen our faith

than to take advantage of all our Lenten offer-

ings. Starting Monday, February 23 at 7pm in

the Church basement, we will present Rev. Rob-

ert Baron’s video on Jesus Christ: Priest,

Prophet/King. It is deeply biblical and filmed in

High Definition. Join us for a stunning presenta-

tion. — EVERY MONDAY AT 7PM!

FROM THE BOROUGH PRESIDENT

Last Fall, we released BP Assist, our of-

fice’s mobile app, available to iPhone and An-

droid device users. This app is allowing constit-

uents to instantly report problems directly to us

from their smartphone. So, if you are walking

and see a streetlight out, you will have the ability

to instantly report the problem to us without

making a single phone call.

The technology is exciting, but our app is

so much more than that. We are turning it into a

hub of information about Staten Island to be

used by residents and visitors to our borough.

Some examples of information include upcom-

ing events, the ferry schedule, and important

phone numbers. Downloading this app will even

allow you to receive important notifications

about emergencies, traffic conditions, and other

important issues. For more information, you can

visit statenislandusa.com/bpassist.
