“Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD.” Trusting in the LORD is like throwing away all anxieties. When we trust in God, we don’t fear the future or bear the problems of the present upon our shoulders; we cast them off, knowing that God is in control.
In Living Stewardship
We are grateful for Christians who have put their complete trust in God. Many of our priests and religious have become role models for us as they have given their lives for His church. We can also look to the many saints who also have given us an example of how to trust in God.

Long Island Blood Services reports an emergency call for blood donors in an effort to prevent a blood shortage from continuing throughout the winter. Many people may not realize that blood products - which are needed every day for those being treated for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease as well as those involved in accidents, burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients - are perishable. When donations decline as they do in winter months when the weather becomes more severe and flu season worsens - lifesaving medical treatments could be delayed. A recent newspaper article noted that during the week between Christmas and New Year’s there were 27,000 fewer blood and platelet donations than needed to sustain a sufficient blood supply. Fewer than 1,400 blood drives were hosted by volunteer sponsors like our parish than required to meet patient needs. In writing this we hope that all eligible donors of our community will be encouraged to help restock the shelves for hospital patients. We especially want to urge those with Type O blood, which is the universal blood type, and what is often reached for when there is no time to determine blood type of patients in the most serious situations. Let us also mention that more than 15,000 children and adolescents in the U.S are diagnosed with cancer each year. Childhood cancer patients may need blood products on a regular basis during chemotherapy, surgery or treatment for complications. Blood products can help prevent life-threatening bleeding and really do give people the chance to fight! In thanksgiving for your kindness and generosity to all those whose lives will be affected by your donations.

9 SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…” (Jeremiah 1:5)
At the very heart of our beliefs about who we are and why we exist, is a message of love. God creates us out of love. Out of love, He redeems us by the sacrifice of his Son, Jesus. He calls us to an eternal destiny with Him because He loves each sacred human life, created in His image.
That we are created in God’s image is reaffirmed in our nation’s Declaration of Independence, reminding us that we “are endowed by [our] Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The right to life is the foundation and starting point for every other God-given human right. When that right is attacked or denied, all other rights and liberties begin to crumble.
You are probably aware that on January 22, 2019, the 46th anniversary of Roe v. Wade (the Supreme Court decision that declared an absolute constitutional right to abortion), Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York signed into law the “Reproductive Health Act”, which he himself called “the most aggressive” abortion law in the country. It was then “celebrated” by his lighting up One World Trade Center and the Alfred E. Smith Building in Albany.
It is our obligation as citizens and as Catholics, to be well informed and to make our voices heard in the public square when evil and injustice threaten the sacred gift of life at any stage.
On a human level, this gruesome law should be appalling to people of every faith, or no faith. The Reproductive Health Act allows for abortion on demand with no restrictions throughout all of pregnancy. This means that as a choice, an abortion could be performed on a full-term infant as the mother is going into labor.
This law might also open the door to taking away conscience protections from medical personnel, and could be used to force doctors, nurses and other medical staff to perform or to assist in abortions. Governor Cuomo claims that he is protecting women’s rights, when in fact, this law endangers the lives of women by allowing non-physicians to perform abortions, and it removes any objective standard of care due to the patient.
The Act has also removed criminal penalties when an unborn child is deliberately targeted for death in a crime. Two and a half weeks after the bill became law, the Queens District Attorney said he could not prosecute a man for the stabbing death of his unborn child in the womb of his girlfriend, because of the passage of the Reproductive Health Act.
Unimaginably, the law also repeals protections for infants who are accidentally born alive during the course of a failed abortion. This amounts to infanticide, the killing either by direct means or by neglect of an infant who is alive outside the womb. The law is silent on reducing the pain and suffering of infants, especially those being aborted late term.
February 11, 2019 Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes
10 February 17, 2019
Brothers and sisters, this law is an abomination that cries out to Heaven for justice. We cannot be silent in the face of such a blatant attack on the most vulnerable among us. I invite you to do several things:
1. Stay informed and educated regarding these issues and the battles ahead of us, such as assisted suicide and legalized surrogacy. Two outstanding resources available to you are:
- The New York State Catholic Conference on the web at https://www.nyscatholic.org./.
- The Diocese of Rockville Centre Respect Life Office and web page: (516) 678-5800 Extension 381 or on the web at https://respectlife.drvc.org/
2. Get involved. Both web pages listed above offer easy links to contacting your elected representatives. Let the Governor and our other elected officials know that this Act violates the dignity of the human person and that you do not support it.
Get involved in the efforts already underway at your parish, such as Respect Life Committees. In addition, our Diocesan Respect Life Office can direct you to ways that you can support and promote the sanctity of life locally, on Long Island.
3. Pray. Pray the Holy Rosary. Ask the intercession of Our Blessed Mother Mary, Protector of Mothers, Defender of Life and the Family, to strengthen us so that we may be compassionate, courageous witnesses to the truth. Ask also for the intercession of Saint Thomas More, patron of statesmen, politicians, lawyers and judges, who lost his life for refusing to renounce his conscience and give in to the tides of political power and privilege.
Pray for our elected officials and for all people and pray that our politicians come to understand their profound obligation to defend the most defenseless among us. Any Catholic who actively supports an attack on the sacredness of life, chooses to place him or herself in grave moral danger and outside of the Communion of the Church. We pray for their souls, for a spirit of repentance, for a return to the truth of the love of God. It is God’s love that formed each one of us in our Mother’s womb.
A civilization that not only will not protect, but actually celebrates an attack on its most vulnerable members is morally bankrupt and stands on the verge of collapse. We pray for the courage of the martyrs, that an awakened spirit of evangelization and voices raised together will move hearts and minds, and call us back to our God-given senses, to the God who made us, who loves us, and who offers us our eternal destiny in love.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us!
