From the Pastor’s Desk
HIS WORD TODAYby Rev. William J. Reilly
“‘O Lord, my God, let the life breath return to the body of this child.’ The Lord heard the prayer of Elijah; the life breath returned to the child’s body and he revived. Taking the child, Elijah brought him down from the upper room and gave him to his mother. ‘See!’ Elijah said to her, ‘your son is alive.’… ‘Now indeed I know that you are a man of God,’ the woman replied to Elijah. ‘The Word of God comes truly from your mouth.’… ‘A great prophet has risen among us,’ they said; and, ‘God has visited his people.’”
The familiar story of the widow of Naim and the miraculous intervention by Elijah are so closely connected. How deeply we are affected when a child suddenly dies in an accident, or after a prolonged illness. Our hearts, filled with compassion, turn to bereaved parents to offer comfort and consolation. Certainly the events of Newtown in December gripped us all.
The Old Testament prophet and Jesus Himself were motivated by the same feelings and addressed the concern of the grieving mother. Life was restored and the witnesses were overwhelmed.
Our respect for life and doing something about it is of no less significance. The late Cardinal Archbishop of Chicago espoused what he called a ‘consistent ethic of life’ for all Catholics which include pro-life, not pro death which is abortion, nuclear war, capital punishment and euthanasia. Catholic social teaching calls us to respect life in all forms, from conception to natural death. May the action of Elijah and the hand of Jesus be our motivating force for children of all ages. His word and work were motivated by compassion and pity.

Year of Faith Prayer
O God our Father, in Jesus you call all Christian families and homes to be signs of living faith. By the light of the Holy Spirit, lead us to be thankful for the gift of faith, and by that gift may we grow in our relationship with Jesus, your Son, and be confident witnesses to Christian hope and joy to all we meet. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Congratulations to Our Lady of Perpetual HelpSchool Graduates

MARRIAGE MOMENTS "Do not weep!" (Lk 7:15) There are many things to be truly sad about - the death or injury of a parent, spouse, child, or dear friend. We weep; and that is human. But the presence and touch of those who love us can comfort us and eventually soften the weeping. How do you comfort your beloved when hard things cause him or her to weep.
PARENTING POINTERSDelayed gratification is one of the most important life skills you can teach your child. Find a way to model this skill for your child today - waiting for a treat, doing a chore before relaxing, waiting for a friend to arrive, waiting to open a present...

Physician–Assisted Suicide
What is at Stake ?
A Recipe for Elder Abuse .
The NJ Death with Dignity Act A3323/S2259 is a recipe for elder abuse. The most obvious reason is due to a lack of oversight when the lethal dose is administered. For example, there are no witnesses required at the death; the death occurs in private. With this situation, the opportunity is created for an heir, or another person who will benefit from the patient’s death, to administer the lethal dose to the patient without his/her consent. Even if he struggled, who would know? Oppose the NJ Death with Dignity Act (A3328/S2259) Visit:
to let your legislators know where you stand on this issue.

From Stephen Schwartz and John Caird comes a joyous and inspirational musical about parents,children and faith... not to mention centuries of unresolved family business!
Freely based on the story of Genesis, CHILDREN OF EDEN is a frank, heartfelt and often humorousexamination of the age-old conflict between parents and children. Adam, Eve, Noah and the "Father"
who created them deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions of their respective children. The showultimately delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message: that "the hardest part of love... is letting go."
Show dates:June 13 8:00pm
June 14 8:00pm
June 15 2:00pm and 8:00pm
June 16 2:00pm
At BurlingtonCounty Footlighters

Tickets: $15.00 donation at the Box office the day/night of the show
