World Day of the Sick, Sunday-February 11, 2018

Fr Nelson Cipollone, (Vicar of our Basilica) and a group of Hispanics, will be at the Maimonides Medical Center - Visiting the Sick at the World Day of the Sick - Sunday, February 11th, 2018.

MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS FOR THE TWENTY-SIXTH WORLD DAY OF THE SICK 2018 - Mater Ecclesiae: “Behold, your son... Behold, your mother. And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.”- (Jn 19:26-27)

MENSAJE DEL SANTO PADRE FRANCISCO PARA LA XXVI JORNADA MUNDIAL DEL ENFERMO 2018 - Mater Ecclesiae: «Ahí tienes a tu hijo... Ahí tienes a tu madre. Y desde aquella hora, el discípulo la recibió en su casa» (Jn 19,26-27)

The Church’s service to the sick and those who care for them must continue with renewed vigour, in fidelity to the Lord’s command (cf. Lk 9:2-6; Mt 10:1-8; Mk 6:7-13) and following the eloquent example of her Founder and Master. The theme for this year’s Day of the Sick is provided by the words that Jesus spoke from the Cross to Mary, his Mother, and to John: “Woman, behold your son ... Behold your mother. And from that hour the disciple took her into his home” (Jn 19:26-27).

La Iglesia debe servir siempre a los enfermos y a los que cuidan de ellos con renovado vigor, en fidelidad al mandato del

Señor (cf. Lc 9,2-6; Mt 10,1-8; Mc 6,7-13), siguiendo el ejemplo muy elocuente de su Fundador y Maestro. Este año, el tema

de la Jornada del Enfermo se inspira en las palabras que Jesús, desde la cruz, dirige a su madre María y a Juan: «Ahí tienes a

tu hijo... Ahí tienes a tu madre. Y desde aquella hora, el discípulo la recibió en su casa» (Jn 19,26-27).

40 Hours Devotion Monday through Friday, February 19th to 23rd

“Reawaken the Call” Year of Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life

The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed each day at 11:30 AM for adoration and prayer.

Monday through Thursday at 7:30 PM guest speakers will share reflections. Friday evening at 7:30 PM a special Mass will be celebrated to close the 40 Hours Devotion. We encourage all our Parish groups and each individual to set aside some time during this

special Lenten devotion with the Blessed Sacrament to pray for vocations. Sign-up sheets will be available to reserve your time.

Page Six February 11, 2018

The Holy Father speaks… Each of us can discover his or her own vocation only through spiritual discernment. This is “a process by which a person makes fundamental choices, in dialogue with the

Lord and listening to the voice of the Spirit, starting with the choice of one’s state in life”. Thus we come to discover that Christian vocation always has a prophetic dimension. The Scriptures tell us that the prophets were sent to the people in situations of great material insecurity and of spiritual and moral crisis, in order to address in God’s name a message of conversion, hope and consolation. Today too, we have great need of discernment and of prophecy. We have to resist the temptations of ideology and negativity, and to discover, in our relationship with the Lord, the places, the means and situations through which he calls us.

"REGINA PACIS VOLUN TEENS"

This group is lead by Msgr. Marino and Fr. Nicholas. We meet every two weeks on

Sunday after the 12 noon Mass in the Conference Center.

The next meeting is February 11th. To join simply send an e-mail to

Msgr. Marino at ronaldmarino1234@gmail.com or Father Nicholas at fr.nicholasapollonio@gmail.com.

It should contain your name, address, cell # and email address.

JOIN THE FUN !!!

What can I do as a Parishioner to

promote vocations to the priesthood and

religious life?

Attend Mass.

Celebration of the Eucharist is a fundamental aspect of our faith. Gathering around the Lord’s table will serve to strengthen the bond you have to your faith and the bond of the parish family. It is a strong parish family that produces priestly and religious vocations.

During the 40 days of Lent, we reflect on how we can more fully turn our lives over to God so that we can celebrate Easter with joyful hearts. The Church has given us many tools to help our reflection and conversion.
