Scripture Reflections for THIS WEEK
SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
U
Teenagers fear
an outbreak of
acne before a
major event.
They’re
sure
every eye will
focus on a
small blemish that seems enormous to them.
Sometimes they even avoid going out at all until their
faces return to normal.
They’re fortunate not to be living in ancient Israel,
where skin outbreaks and eruptions were likely viewed
as leprosy. Public contact was forbidden. They’d have
had to shout “unclean!” as they approached someone.
Their exile would have been religiously regulated, and
those they met would have avoided any touch.
The man with leprosy who approached Jesus
wouldn’t have touched Jesus—it was bold of him just
to ask Jesus’ mercy. In a move that surprised
Everyone, Jesus reached out to touch the one who was
“unclean.”
I can only imagine the man’s shock and relief just at
the touch of a person who didn’t see him as less than
human. The wound of separation was healed at that
moment, and Jesus confirmed it by healing the man’s
body. Nor did Jesus stop there. He restored the man to
his community by asking him to follow Mosaic Law
(the Law of Moses) and be declared clean.
Teenagers often think their physical flaws are the
worst things they can suffer. In truth, it’s separation—
whether it comes from within us or from others.
Jesus has the power to heal whatever separates us and
restore us to community with God and others.

First Reading
Genesis 9:8-15 (23B)
After the great flood, God told Noah of the covenant
between heaven and earth. Neveragain would a flood
destroy the earth. To mark this covenant, the Lord set
up a rainbow in the sky.
Second Reading
1 Peter 3:18-22
As the ark saved a chosen few in Noah’s day, so does
baptism by faith save God’s chosen today. Baptism is
“an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ.”
Gospel
Mark 1:12-15
The Spirit sent Jesus to the desert to fast and pray for
forty days. Afterwards, Jesus appeared in Galilee
proclaiming “the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent,
and believe in the gospel.”
THE CONFRONTATION BETWEEN EVIL AND GRACE
Armed with the hope of the
covenant and the promise of
Baptism, we find the courage to
read the story of Jesus’s own
journey into the desolation of the
desert, the place of death and life,
where wickedness and grace
contended in the story of Israel.
Without the detail of Matthew and Luke, Mark gives
stark warning of the confrontation between evil and
grace that awaits us as we follow Jesus’s lead on our
Lenten journey from sinfulness to salvation through
Baptism celebrated or renewed at Easter.
PROFESSIONAL FAMILY COUNSELING
is available for individuals and families. Please call Sr.
Monica, LPC, LCSW at (201) 997-5262 for an appointment.
Fees are based on a sliding scale.

STEWARDSHIP SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS
THE SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
“Brothers and sisters, whether you eat or drink, or
whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.”
– 1 Corinthians 10:31
Do a quick check of your priorities. Where does God
rank in that list? If He’s not first, you have some work
to do. Putting God first in everything helps develop the
attitude of “I am grateful for the gifts God gave me”
instead of “I want more”. For most people gratitude
leads to generosity.
MEMORIAL OPPORTUNITIES
We will be purchasing new altar cloths and
altar linens for use at Mass. For a donation of
$50.00, your name, or that of a deceased
loved one, will be listed on a framed
Memorial Scroll which will be placed in Church. If you
would like to make a donation, contact Maureen Hennessy
at the Rectory, 201-997-0700, ext. 25.

Word of Life…
“The challenge is to make the
Church’s “yes” to Life concrete and
effective. The struggle will be long, and it needs each
one of you. Place your intelligence, your talents, your
enthusiasm, your compassion and your fortitude at the
service of life!”

HYGIENE AND COMMUNION FROM THE CUP
We heed the Lord’s command when we
receive from the Cup of Eternal
Salvation…take and drink!
Common sense should prevail, however.
Anyone who has an active respiratory
infection, i.e. cold or flu, or anyone with
any sore on their lips should refrain
from using the common communion cup.
In addition, if you have the above mentioned
conditions, perhaps a friendly nod or smile could take
the place of a handshake during the sign of peace.
If you’d like to participate in Parish Giving, our
electronic giving program, please visit our website—
www.qpcna.org. Simply click on the Parish Giving
link to see information and instructions to register.
Remember to include your envelope number. For
more information please see brochures and inserts
available at the doors of the Church.

3:30PM PRAYER SERVICE --DISTRIBUTION OF ASHES
NOW IS THE TIME
Who needs ashes? Why fast and prepare on this day? The
joys of last year’s Passion (Palm) Sunday and Easter are now
reduced to dust. These ashes point out our fragility as we
await salvation in Christ Jesus. We must start again to “turn
around to find where we ought to be” and to prepare the
way of the Lord in our lives. Now is the favorable time and
the day of our salvation. The Lord, our bridegroom, lifts us
up from our weakness. We hope to enter into grace and to
share in His own divine life.
Are you ready…and willing?
ARCHDIOCESE OF NEWARK
2015 LENTEN REGULATIONS
1.
The days of both Fast and Abstinence during Lent
are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. If possible,
the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter
Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the “paschal fast”
to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus,
and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to
celebrate more readily His Resurrection. The other
Fridays of Lent are days of Abstinence.
On a day of Fast, only one (1) full meal is
permitted. Those between the ages of 18 and 59
are obliged to fast. On a day of Abstinence, no meat
may be eaten. Those who have reached the age of
14 are obliged by the law of abstinence.
2.
The obligation to observe the laws of Fast and
Abstinence “substantially”, or as a whole, is a
serious obligation.
3.
The Fridays of the year, outside of Lent, are
designated as days of penance, but each individual
may substitute for the traditional abstinence from
meat some other practice of voluntary self-denial as
penance.
4.
The time for fulfilling the Paschal Precept (Easter
Duty*) extends from the First Sunday of Lent,
February 22, 2015 to the Solemnity of the Most
Holy Trinity, May 31, 2015
All the faithful, after they have been
initiated into the Most Holy Eucharist, are bound by the
obligation of receiving Communion at least once a year.
*Canon 920, §1.
All are invited and encouraged to join
us for a Lenten Mission with
