Week of July 14th
Dear Parishioners,
The Rivertown’s Clergy Association is a group of clergy leaders of different religious faiths who meet monthly for prayer and fellowship and positive interaction. In addition to this, we dialogue and coordinate events of common interest. We value, embrace, and respect all faith traditions. Since arriving here at The Magdalene, I have been a member and remain committed to ensuring a Catholic presence and voice are included.
On Tuesday, June 25, we gathered on the grounds of the Tarrytown Village Hall for our GATHER FOR PEACE. It was a time of prayer and unity as we called for peace throughout the world. It was nice to see a couple of parishioners. After our peaceful gathering, we had a takeaway offering simple ways to foster peace. I wish to share the 19 suggestions with you.
SIMPLE WAYS TO ESTABLISHING PEACE
1. Simplify your life
2. Create a peaceful affirmation/mantra
3. Strengthen the good
4. Treat a friend to coffee/tea
5. Read books about peace and recommend them to others
6. Say, “Hello” and “Thank you”
7. Build a diverse coalition
8. Meditate/Reflect
9. Clarify your core values
10. Spend time in nature
11. Don’t engage in violence
12. Embrace the power of music and the arts
13. Express your thoughts with charity
14. Say you’re sorry when necessary
15. Forgive other
16. Volunteer
17. Speak in a positive tone
18. Participate in community events
19. Display peace signs
As we continue to celebrate our 130th Anniversary, the Magdalene will host his year’s Interfaith Thanksgiving Service on Tuesday, November 26 with a reception following in the Weaver Parish Hall.
Blessings! And remember to KTF (Keep the Faith)
Fr. Tim
PLEASE NOTE:
Fr. Tim will be on vacation the Week of July 15th-July 19th. In lieu of Mass Intentions, the daily readings have been provided for your spiritual nourishment. The Church will remain open for private prayer with AC!
The Word of God
Reading I: Amos 7: 12-15 Amos denies being a member of the so-called “professional prophets” of his time who hired themselves out. His authentic prophetic activity is based on a choice of him made by Yahweh.
Reading II: Ephesians 1: 3-14, or 1: 3-10 The opening blessing flows into why we have been chosen by God for our mission. We are to be full of love and know that we are part of God’s master plan.
The Gospel: Mark 6: 7-13 The Twelve hear the message of Jesus and are sent forth to preach the Good News. His instructions are a checklist for missionaries that includes how to react to hospitality and its opposite.
