Saint Joseph Church Mission Statement
We, the people of Saint Joseph Church, by the grace of God, born again in the waters of Baptism, seek to create a
community where our mutual faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior, encourages us to continue growing as disciples. We believe that discipleship is a way of life. We strive to show
that we are committed disciples, eager to welcome the stranger, feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and comfort the bereaved. Inspired by God’s word and nourished by the Eucharist, we pledge ourselves to active discipleship all for
God’s greater glory and honor.

HUMILDAD ¿Has estado alguna vez con un grupo de personas –quizás en un crucero, en una reunión social, o en la iglesia– y descubres que has estado hablando con un autor muy conocido, un alto ejecutivo de una empresa poderosa, un gran intelectual o una figura política? Tu primer pensamiento es que ojalá no hayas dicho nada embara-zoso, pero el segundo es tu asombro al notar que se comporten co-mo una persona “normal”. ¿Qué es lo que hace a una persona “normal”? Las lecturas de hoy nos dan una pista cuando ponen de relieve la importancia de la humildad. Es tan difícil no decirle a la primera persona que nos escuche lo ocupados que estamos, lo mucho que trabajamos, cuánto dinero donamos y cuán importantes son nuestros títulos en el trabajo. Pen-samos que estas distinciones tienen influencia en las personas, y si no se lo decimos, ¿cómo van a saberlo? Pero si nuestras acciones demuestran nuestros valores, la gente reconocerá lo que valemos, por sí solas. Las palabras de Jesús nos muestran que es mucho me-jor dejar que los demás reconozcan nuestros méritos que apenarnos porque alguien no los reconoce. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Maneja tus asuntos con humildad. Humíllate y tendrás el favor de Dios (Sirácide 3:17-18, 20, 28-29). Salmo — Dios da libertad y riqueza a los cautivos (Salmo 68 [67]). Segunda lectura — Te has acercado a Jesús, el mediador de una nueva alianza (Hebreos 12:18-19, 22-24a). Evangelio — Cuando te inviten a comer, siéntate en el lugar menos importante. Los que se humillan serán ensalzados (Lucas 14:1, 7-14).
LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 1 Cor 2:1-5; Sal 119 (118):97-102; Mc 6:17-29 Martes: 1 Cor 2:10b-16; Sal 145 (144):8-14; Lc 4:31-37 Miércoles: 1 Cor 3:1-9; Sal 33 (32):12-15, 20-21; Lc 4:38-44 Jueves: 1 Cor 3:18-23; Sal 24 (23):1bc-4ab, 5-6; Lc 5:1-11 Viernes: 1 Cor 4:1-5; Sal 37 (36):3-6, 27-28, 39-40; Lc 5:33-39 Sábado: 1 Cor 4:6b-15; Sal 145 (144):17-21; Lc 6:1-5 Domingo: Sab 9:13-18b; Sal 90 (89):3-6, 12-17; Flm 9-10, 12-17; Lc 14:25-33

HUMILITY Have you ever been in a group of people—maybe on a tour, at a social gathering, or at church—and discovered that you have just been talking with a well-known author, corporate CEO, great scholar, or politician? Your first thought is the hope that you didn’t say anything to embarrass yourself; but your second thought is how much they seemed like such “regular” folks. What is it that makes people seem so “regular”? Today’s readings give us a clue when they stress the importance of humility. It is so hard for us not to tell the first person who will listen how busy we are, how hard we work, how much money we donate, and how important our job titles are. We think these accolades make a difference to people, and if we don’t tell them, how will they ever know? But if our actions demonstrate our values, people will recog-nize our worth on their own. The words of Jesus show us how much better it is to let someone else recognize our worth than to be embar-rassed because someone did not. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Conduct your affairs with humility and God will favor you (Sirach 3:17-18, 20, 28-29). Psalm — God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the poor (Psalm 68). Second Reading — You have approached Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant (Hebrews 12:18-19, 22-24a). Gospel — When invited to dine, take the lowest place. Those who humble themselves will be exalted (Luke 14:1, 7-14).

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time Monday: The Passion of St. John the Baptist Friday: First Friday Saturday: St. Gregory the Great; First Saturday
Pope Saint Gregory (540 – 12 March 604), commonly known as Saint Gregory the Great, was pope of the Catholic Church from 3 September 590 to his death in 604. Gregory is famous for instigating the first recorded large-scale mission from Rome to convert a pagan people to Christianity. Gregory is also well known for his writings, which were more prolific than those of any of his predecessors as pope. A senator's son and himself the Prefect of Rome at 30, Gregory tried the monas tery but soon returned to active public life, ending his life and the century as pope. Although he was the first pope from a monastic background, his prior political experiences may have helped him to be a talented administrator, who successfully established papal supremacy. He was stronger than the emperors of declining Rome, and challenged the power of the Patriarch of Constantinople in the battle between East and West. Gregory regained papal authority in Spain and France, and sent missionaries to England. The realignment of barbarian allegiance to Rome from their Arian Christian alliances shaped medieval Europe. Gregory saw Franks, Lombards, and Visigoths align with Rome in religion. Throughout the Middle Ages he was known as "the Father of Christian Worship" because of his excep-tional efforts in revising the Roman worship of his day. His contributions to the development of the Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, still in use in the Byzantine Rite, were so significant that he is generally recognized as its de facto author. Gregory is a Doctor of the Church and one of the Latin Fathers. He is considered a saint in the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church,Anglican Communion, and some Lutheran churches. Immediately after his death, Gregory was canonized by popular acclaim The Protestantreformer John Calvin admired Gregory and declared in his Institutes that Gregory was the last good pope. He is the patron saint of musicians, singers, students, and teachers. (Wikipedia)

It is hard to believe that we are so close to the end of summer but indeed we are. I hope that this was a relaxing and refreshing time for you and your families. As we begin our new year here in the parish we want to remind you of several important events that are coming up. The Parish Festival will be here before we know it. Many of our parishioners have already been working very hard for the planning and success of this year’s festival. Many hands are needed to make this the financial and community building success that we desire. Please consider volunteering in any number of ways to help this year. Forms are in the church and rectory if you would like to help. The closing mass of our anniversary celebration will be on Sunday, October 9th at the 10:00 Mass with Bishop John Flesey, Regional Bishop for Bergen County. I would hope that you plan on coming to this celebration and the reception after-wards. Please reach out to any friends and neighbors that you would like to invite. Please keep the beginning of the school year for St. Jo-seph Academy in prayer as we welcome our new principal, Stella Scarano. May our academy continue to grow upon the founda-tions that have been set by the sacrifices of so many over so many years.
Es difícil creer que estamos tan cerca del final del verano, pero en verdad somos. Espero que este era un momento relajante y refrescante para usted y sus familias. Al comenzar nuestro nuevo año aquí en la parroquia queremos recordarle de varios eventos importantes que están surgiendo. El Festival Parroquial estará aquí antes de darnos cuenta. Muchos de nuestros feligreses ya han estado trabajando muy duro para la planificación y el éxito del festival de este año. Se necesitan muchas manos para hacer de este edificio el éxito financiero y la comunidad que deseamos. Por favor considere ser voluntario en cualquier número de maneras de ayudar a este año. Los formularios están en la iglesia y la rectoría si desea ayudar. La misa de clausura de nuestra celebración de aniver-sario será el domingo, 9 de octubre a las 10:00 Misa con el Obis-po John Flesey, Obispo Regional para el condado de Bergen. Yo esperaría que planea venir a esta celebración y la recepción des-pués. Ponte en contacto con amigos y vecinos que le gustaría invi-tar. Por favor, mantenga el principio del año escolar por la Academia St. Joseph en la oración que damos la bienvenida a nuestra nueva directora, Stella Scarano. Que nuestra academia de seguir creciendo sobre las bases que han sido establecidos por los sacrificios de tantos durante tantos años.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Perhaps the most familiar traditional symbol that identifies bish-ops is the crosier that they carry. We see the shepherd’s staff and immediately rich images from scripture come to mind, as well as the recollection that the first to respond to Christ’s presence in our world were the shepherds. The staff is more than a walking stick; its crooked top is useful in snaring errant sheep but also in keeping the flock united. Bishops carry the curve outward, indicating their minis-try to the wider flock, while abbots (and some abbesses, too) carry the crosier with the curve pointing in, indicating that their ministry is to the monastery alone. The crosier was once also carried by the pope, but was phased out centuries ago. You may recall that in pre-“popemobile” days, the pope was often carried around on a portable throne called a sedia gestatoria. Since he didn’t do much walking, the need for a crosier was minimal. Pope Paul VI introduced the innovation of a walking staff in the 1960s, and everyone remembers Pope John Paul II’s walking staff, not a crook, but a delicately sculptured crucifix. Thus, the pope carries a “pastoral staff” rather than a crosier. Precisely because the pope’s ministry is universal, to the whole world, popes will likely leave crosiers in the hands of the bishops they commis-sion for care of specific flocks.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Por esta época recordamos la natividad de María, madre de Jesús. María es muy popular entre muchos pueblos y en especial en los pueblos latinos. Al principio del mes de septiembre dos na-ciones toman la fiesta de su nacimiento para recordarla bajo el titulo de la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre en Cuba y de Nuestra Señora de Coromoto en Venezuela. La Virgen del Cobre fue descubierta en el siglo XVI por dos indígenas y un niño africano llamados los tres Juanes, cuando estos fueron al mar en busca de sal. Después de una fuerte tempes-tad ellos encontraron flotando sobre las olas una pequeña imagen de María con el Niño Dios en brazos. La imagen flotaba sobre una tabla que decía yo soy la Virgen de la Caridad. Milagrosamente la imagen estaba seca. También en el siglo XVI la Virgen se le apareció al cacique de los indígenas Coromoto en Venezuela. Estos resistían la evangeli-zación y ella se apareció sobre las aguas invitándolos al bautizo cristiano. Estas dos manifestaciones marianas llevan a Jesús en brazos recordándonos que María nada puede sin Cristo.
