My Dear Friends in Christ,

If you’re looking for me this weekend, you won’t find me. My father is turning a milestone birthday this year, and so

my mother and two brothers are taking him for a weekend of spring training for our beloved Mets at Port Saint Lucie,

Florida. If you drop me a note or call, you probably won’t hear back from me until Tuesday. Of course, in the meantime, the Parish Office will be open and there will always be a priest on duty!

Since I’ll be away this weekend, I don’t have a homily to prepare, but I wanted to share a simple thought about this weekend’s Gospel.

When is the last time we have taken this Gospel literally, and, as Jesus asked:

“To you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”

Praying for those who mistreat us does not mean that we continue to allow them to do so, nor does it mean we pray

for them to be fixed, punished, or altered by God. Rather, to pray for those who mistreat us means we pray, more or

less, in this way:

Lord, bless them even more than I’d have you bless me!

With prayers,

Commitment Weekend

HEALTH CARE WORKSHOP SERIES We had a wonderful response to the first presentation in the Health Care Workshop Series.

Next up: March 3rd: PAIN & PAIN MANAGEMENT: Finding Relief

This workshop is for those who live with chronic pain, or have a loved one who does.

We’ll explore the relationship between different types of pain- physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual…

Learn about identifying underlying causes of pain

and selecting from the pain management approaches available

(pharmacological and supplemental therapies)

and discuss how pain management has changed in recent years.

If you are familiar with this image this workshop is for you.

Our presenter is Susan Caccappolo. Susan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a BA from University of Pennsylvania and

MSSW from Columbia University. She holds Post-Master’s Certification in Individual and Family Therapy, and in Palliative and

End of Life Care, and will soon complete Certification in Spirituality in Social Work at NYU. She works or has worked as a
