My Dear Friends in Christ,

It has come to my attention, from a devout parishioner, that there will be a master tarot reader, medium and Reiki master at a local salon in Flemington. Going to mediums, fortune tellers and playing with Ouija boards are a direct opposition to

our faith and a grave matter for confession. As your pastor, I would be remiss not to warn of the severity of such a

thing. Please pray for the conversion of this medium who is attempting to contact the dead and that the salon would decline to sponsor this event. The Pontifical Committee on Family has warned us that Reiki is not a practice that we should

as Catholics be participating in. As Catholics, we pray for the dead, that they rest in peace, that their time in purgatory is

short. We do not conjure up their spirits.

“The U.S. bishops have published a new evaluation of the Reiki therapy. Calling the Japanese form of alternative medicine comparable to “superstition,” the evaluation describes its practice as being without support in Christian belief, unscientific

and inappropriate for Catholics.” “For Christians the access to divine healing is by prayer to Christ as Lord and Savior,

while the essence of Reiki is not a prayer but a technique that is passed down from the 'Reiki Master' to the pupil, a technique that once mastered will reliably produce the anticipated results.”

Sacred Scripture condemns all sorts of occultism. It violates the First Commandment, “I am the Lord Your God, you shall have not any strange gods before me.” Here are some of the scripture references; Exodus 22:18, Deuteronomy

18:9-12, Galatians 5:19-21, and Revelation 21:8 to mention a few.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church deals with the violation of the first commandment, specifically fortune tellers in

paragraph 2116. It states: “All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to ‘unveil’ the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading,

interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power

over time, history, and in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect and loving fear that we owe to God alone.”

Let us pray to Almighty God through the intercession of Our Lady, who constantly shows us the way back to her Son, that

we may remain steadfast in our faith, and strong in our witness to Christ our Lord.

Yours in Jesus and Mary,

Fr. Brighenti

First Reading: Exodus 20:1-17

Through Moses, God passed on the command-

ments he wished all people to follow. He tells us

not to worship idols or take the name of the Lord

in vain. All the laws God gave to us, if followed,

would ensure that we could live in peace and

harmony with one another as he had planned.

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:22-25

Paul tells the Corinthians that Christ is the power

and the wisdom of God. Although they claimed to

possess wisdom, “God’s folly is wiser than men,

and his weakness is more powerful than men.”

Gospel: John 2:13-25

Jesus went to the temple of Jerusalem to find

merchants there selling sheep and doves. He

knocked over their tables and drove the animals

away. The merchants asked him for a sign that

he was authorized to do this. He told them to

“destroy this temple (referring to his body) and

in three days I will raise it up.” The merchants

misunderstood, and did not believe he could

rebuild in three days what had taken nearly 50

years to build. Still many believed in him, after

seeing the miracles he had performed.

COMMITTED ADORERS NEEDED! St. Magdalen’s is hoping to extend Eucharistic Adoration and

WE NEED YOUR HELP! We need parishioners to commit to adoring the Blessed Sacrament one hour a week

starting the first Sunday in Lent.

If you would like to discuss the possibility of committing to adoring the Blessed Sacrament for one of these hours each week, please call Lucille Hess at 908-788-5988. Thank you!

Hours adorers are needed are:

Sunday Monday

5:00 to 6:00 am

6:00 to 7:00 am

Eucharistic Adoration: Q & A “Come to Me all you who are weary…” Matthew 11:28

How Can I Make Better Use of My Time this Lenten Season?

Consider visiting a nearby church in the area of your work or come to St. Magdalen’s during the day or after work. Spend a few quiet minutes before the Tabernacle. "The Sacred species reserved in the Tabernacle is to be adored because Christ is substantially present!” Imagine, time alone WITH Jesus!! What better use of anyone’s time, even if only for a short while? “Let us also be generous with our time in going to meet Him in Adoration, and in contemplation that is full of

faith and ready to make reparation for the great crimes of the world. May our Adoration never cease! Such visits

are proof of our gratitude and an expression of our love and a concrete acknowledgement of Our Lord's pres-

ence. Every time we genuflect when we come into the church or walk past the Tabernacle, or spend time before the

Blessed Sacrament, we are making a public profession of Faith. We are saying that we truly believe Jesus Christ

is present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Holy Eucharist.”

ALL PARISHIONERS ARE INVITED TO THE…

Living Stations of the Cross Presented by the Teens of our

High School Youth Ministry When: Friday, March 30, 7:30 pm, Church

Each Station will be

presented in live scene with a

Marian reflection.

Stations of the Cross

Celebrated each Friday during Lent

at 7:00 pm in the church

March 2nd, 9th, 23rd

“When it was morning all the chief priests

and the elders of the people took counsel

against Jesus to put him to death. They

bound him, led him away, and handed him

over to Pilate..” Matt 27: 1-2

Liturgy

During Lent of this Holy Year, I intend to send out Missionaries of Mercy. They will be a sign of the Church’s maternal solicitude for the People of God, enabling them to enter the profound richness of this mystery so fundamental to the faith…..They will be, above all, living signs of the Father’s readiness to welcome those in search of his pardon. - Pope Francis (MV 18)

Lenten Penance Service

Evangelization & Mission

In preparation for receiving the sacrament of

Confirmation, the 8th grade class is embark-

ing on a food drive with a goal of collecting

5,000 items to feed the hungry––a corporal

work of mercy.

Please consider joining this effort to support

more than 85 families who currently depend

on the generosity of our parish to feed their

families. Here are some ways to continue

your Lenten journey with Project Hope

House.

A JOURNEY THROUGH GRIEF Healing Hearts

Bereavement Group

Grief is an active, normal process that we must go through to survive our loss. If you are in need of healing after losing a loved one through death and are grieving this loss, you might consider being part of this spiritual based program.

The program consists of 7 weekly sessions offering information about the grief process, and gives an opportunity for people to share their thoughts and feelings in an environment of

confidentiality, understanding and empathy. The support group is open to all people who are grieving the death of a loved one.

The sessions will start Sunday March 18th. and continue through May 6th. Each session is held from 1:00pm to 2:00pm in the

Spiritual Formation Center Conference Room.

To register or for more information please

contact: Joan Purdy at 908 - 369 - 4841, or Mary Eyles at 908 - 788 - 4182.

Blest too are the sorrowing;

they shall be consoled

FAST: Have a simple meal one or two

days a week and make a donation of what

you would have normally purchased. Or,

when you purchase groceries each week,

fill one of the bags with items for Hope

House.

PRAY: Ask the Lord for a generous

spirit to rise within our parish so that we

can share the blessings we have received

with those in need.

Almsgiving: Make a sacr ificial gift. Pur-

chase ShopRite gift cards to do your shop-

ping (5% comes back to support Hope

House ministries).

Purple, reusable grocery bags are located

by the donation bins in the narthex and by

the Religious Education Office. A shopping

list is contained in each bag so that you can

purchase items that are most in need for that

week. Return the filled bags to the bins and

pick up another.

Saint of the Week

Saint

John Of God

“When I am depressed, I can find no

better remedy than in gazing in

contemplation of Jesus Christ

crucified and thinking of His most

holy passion and of the distress He

suffered in this life.”

Feast Day: March 8th Patron Saint of:

Firefighters, Hospitals, and Nurses

Scripture tells us that St. Joseph was a "just man" and that God gave him the most

daunting task ever asked of a man–to be the husband of the woman who would give birth to the Messiah and the father and protector

of this Holy Family. He would be the man closest to Christ. In this, the first feature film

ever on the story of St. Joseph, witness powerful scenes in the life of the young Christ

and the Holy Family that are authentic and inspiring.

Joseph of Nazareth can be found on Formed by searching for “St. Joseph” and selecting the

“Watch” tab.

Liturgia de la Palabra

Primera Lectura: Exodo 20:1-17 A través de Moisés, Dios dió los mandamientos que desea que todos sigan. Nos dice que no idolatremos ídolos y no usar el nombre de Dios en vano. Todas las leyes que Dios nos dió, si son seguidas, asegurarán la paz y armonía unos con otros como El lo planeó. Segunda Lectura: 1 Corintios 1:22-25 Pablo les dice a los Corintios que Cristo es el poder y la sabiduría de Dios. Aunque ellos dicen tener sabiduría, “lo que en Dios puede parecer tontería, es más sabio que la sabiduría humana, y lo que puede parecer debilidad, es más fuerte que la fuerza hu-mana”.
