Pastor’s Gratitude: “At the parish picnic I asked a boy around four years old where did he get his big red cup? He pointed to his right and said ‘they’re right over there next to the beer’. And so they were.” Parishioner’s Response: “We had a lovely time at the parish picnic in spite of the weather. Thank you Pat Capucci and the K of C members of OLM Council 19443 and some of their wives for the food and all our parishioners who made desserts.”

WELCOME As we announced last weekend, Sr. Mary Rinaldi of the Salesian Sisters of Mary Help of Christians is here to ask for our assistance to rebuild St. Joseph’s Chapel which was destroyed by fire on May 18, 2018.

“THE FINAL EMBRACE” Today, Jesus asks you “Who do You say I am?” This important question is at the foundation of your Faith in Christ. Each one of us must answer it honestly if we hope to have that authentic “Come to Jesus Moment.” If you struggle with the belief that Jesus is the Messiah then you are stumbling in your faith journey. Until you come to terms with the Jesus question, you cannot move to ‘GO.’ You must examine your expectations of a Christ relationship. The Messiah expected to die for you, but will you do the same for Him? Jesus ends today’s Gospel with “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross; for whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the Gospel will save it.” St. Paul tells you in the 2

nd reading “Faith of itself, if it

doesn’t have works, is dead. Good works are born from a willingness to be open-minded to God’s Word by reading scripture and growing in Wisdom. Start with a daily Psalm or favorite prayer, invoking the Lord’s help and grace. This investment of time and prayer will lead you to Faith, Hope, and Love for God. Following Christ involves self-sacrifice, time and resources. UNLESS YOU CLIMB UP ONTO THE CROSS TO FINALLY EMBRACE CHRIST, YOU MAY FOREVER CONTINUE TO STUMBLE THROUGH THE LAND OF THE LIVING. Would you like to become Catholic or complete your Sacraments? Would you like to join the RCIA team? Please call Monsignor Carroll, 973-838-6838 or Carol Mangani, 973-283-2218, for more information. Date Topic Presenter Sept. 20 Bible, Tradition Fr. Henry & Divine Revelation

“DID YOU KNOW?” Did you know that OLM parishioners have been faithfully honoring the Immaculate Heart of Mary every 1

st Saturday for the

st Saturday, and join us for the 8:15 a.m.

TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

First Reading: Isaiah 50:5-9a Isaiah describes the willingness of the Suffering Servant to submit to the persecution of his enemies. This willingness stems from true faith in God, and the knowledge that the Lord will always be his help. Second Reading: James 2:14-18 James states that if some one is hungry and you wish them well but do not help them, you have done them no good. He compares this to stating your faith, without backing it up with your actions. He reminds us that we must show our faith through our good works. Gospel: Mark 8:27-35 Jesus taught his disciples that as the Messiah, he had to suffer much, be put to death, and rise three days later. Peter began to disagree and Jesus reprimanded him for judging by human standards rather than by God’s. He told them that whoever would be willing to lose their life for the sake of Jesus and the gospel, will in fact preserve their life forever.
