The Sick of the Parish
PAGE THREE FEBRUARY 3, 2019
The Holy Father speaks… A hard heart is a “closed” heart, “that does not want to grow, that defends itself, that is closed in on itself”. In life this can happen because of many factors; as, for example, a “great sorrow. And whoever remains in this “bad attitude” is “fainthearted”; and a “cowardly heart is perverse”: We can ask ourselves: Do I have a hard heart, do I have a closed heart? Do I let my heart grow? Am I afraid that it will grow? And we always grow with trials, with difficulties, we grow as we all grow as children: we learn to walk [by] falling. From crawling to walking, how many times we have fallen! But we grow through difficulties. Hardness. And, what amounts to the same thing, being closed. But who remains in this? “Who are they, father?” They are the fainthearted. Faintheartedness is an ugly attitude in a Christian, he lacks the courage to live. He is closed off.

Homebound Parishioners Do you have a family member or know a parishioner that is homebound and
not able to come to Mass? We are a parish, and no one is
forgotten.
Please have a caretaker call the rectory (718-236-0909) to schedule
a visit from a Eucharistic Minister so the homebound parishioner can
receive the Eucharist.
Please note someone must be home with the homebound at the first visit.
Thank You, Deacon John

Amen.

It is a plaque made of beautiful colored solid bronze, bearing the name of the deceased, a symbol or a prayer such as "Rest in Peace". The plaques are placed on view in a beautiful chapel of their own. Families can visit the chapel anytime to pray for their loved ones resting there or elsewhere. Their remembrance will remain in our beautiful Basilica forever. For more information visit St. Joseph Chapel or call our of ice at 718-236- 0909.

You can order it for a week, a month, six months or a year. Your name can be placed on the candle if you wish. There is an offering requested for this and you can arrange it by stopping at the rectory when you have a chance or calling us.
