Mass Intentions

Remember in your prayers ALL THOSE AFFECTED BY THE

CORONAVIRUS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

Compassionate and Loving Father, In the face of confusion and concern

impart to us the calm of Your presence. In You, allow us to find hope and healing.

Be with those who serve the sick and give them Your caring hands.

Be with those who lead and give them Your spirit of wisdom.

Be with those who have fallen ill and give them Your comforting heart. Wrap Your arms around our world

and hold us in Your love. Allow us at this time of trial

to then serve as instruments of that love to all we meet.

We ask this in Your name. Amen.

Questions of the Week

You are invited to Reflect and Respond to Sunday’s Scripture

First Reading

We hear how the prophet Elisha and his servant Gehazi repaid

the Shunammite woman for her generous hospitality. When

have you shown excessive generosity to another?

Second Reading

Paul taught the Roman Christians that through Baptism,

Believers fully participate in the death, burial, and

resurrection of Christ. How should this really impact one’s

day to day living?

Gospel Reading

Jesus continues to teach his followers the challenges of

discipleship. What do you find most challenging in following

Christ?

Live the Liturgy

“Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus

were baptized into His death?” what do you understand these

words to mean? Many see these words as an indication of

what may come in eternal life. In actuality, they have more to

do with our lives here and now. We are called to die to our-

selves and offer our lives as gifts given generously to others.

It is not about us! We are asked to serve God and not continue

in our service of sin. Life is about learning to do what we really

do not want to do because it brings us deeper into the mystery

of God, ourselves, and others. Learning how to accept and live

with the “small deaths” and sacrifices we encounter teaches

us how to live with and approach our final death. We can do

so with a heart that has been touched by and is open to mercy-

or one that is self-focused and closed.

“Our principle of unity is the Holy Spirit who reminds us that above all we are God’s beloved children. He comes to us in our

differences and difficulties to tell us that we have one Lord, Jesus, and one Father. For this reason, we are brothers and sisters.”

-Pope Francis @Pontifex

JUNE 28, 2020 THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Rev. David Regan, New Pastor of Holy Name of Mary Parish

Rev. David Regan grew up in North Babylon, NY. After college he spent

time ministering/working as a layperson in the Missionary Diocese of

Fairbanks, Alaska. During that time, he helped coordinate the

Diocesan pilgrimage from the Missionary Diocese to World Youth Day,

2002, Toronto. It was there that he affirmed what was in his heart

since the time of his first Holy Communion. He was assured of his

calling to the priesthood.

After being ordained in 2010 he served at St. Patrick’s RC Church in

Smithtown. His time there was filled with challenges and profound

joy. In addition, he was asked to be the chaplain at Stony Brook

University. Through him and the team the Catholic Campus Ministry

build and maintained the first Catholic Eucharistic Chapel in the NY

university system.

Fr. Dave Regan served the people of Sacred Heart in North Merrick

briefly and was invited to become the pastor of St. Gertrude’s in

Bayville. Serving the people there was a beautiful moment in his

life. Fr. Regan states that “…watching God’s grace thrive in the lives

of his parish members is what brought him the most happiness… each

moment has the potential for God’s grace if only we are ready & open.”

Fr. Regan has studied at St. Bonaventure University, Franciscan University of Steubenville, Mt. Angel Abbey and

Immaculate Conception Seminary. His favorite books are Dante’s “Divine Comedy”, “Theology of the Body” and the

“Fire Within.” He is a huge Met’s fan however depending on the year he may not admit it.

In the summer of 1999, he participated in the “Crossroads” walk across the US in order to bring awareness to the dignity

of the unborn child. In the parishes he has served in Fr. Dave Regan has led adult faith formation sessions on Angels,

Mary, Suffering, Exodus, Genesis, Carmelite Spirituality and issues of life as well as the value of the person.

His favorite saying is “You should not be afraid to have a devotion to Mary, you can not love her more than Jesus!”

(St. Maximilium Kolbe, OFM Cap.)

JUNE 28, 2020 THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

In the late seventeenth century France, Jesus appeared to

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and revealed the infinite love of

his heart, wounded by sins. He urged her to

spread this devotion, back when people were

so afraid of God, they neglected his love. On

this feast, Jesus addresses each of us:

“Behold this Heart which so loved you, yet is

so little loved.” When we consider the many

proofs of his love, we can’t help but love him

in return.

St. Francis Caracciolo

Originally named Ascanio, Francis

was born in the Abruzzi region of

Italy to a noble Neopolitan family.

Even as a child, he was noted for his

gentleness and virtue. Upon recov-

ering from a life-threatening illness,

he became a priest. With a holy nobleman, Adorno,

he co-founded the Minor Clerks Regular. St. Francis

served reluctantly but effectively as the superior of the

order. He was known for his love of the poor and

devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.

FEASTS & CELEBRATIONS

June 1 - The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church

(2018). On the Cross, Jesus gave us his mother to be our

mother (John 19:27). Even in Heaven, she continues to

pray and care for us as our spiritual mother.

June 11 - St. Barnabas (1st Century). A contemporary of

the Apostles, his name means “son of encouragement”.

He was a sponsor for St. Paul and accompanied him on his

first evangelical journey.

June 13 - St. Anthony of Padua (1231). St. Anthony gave

up a life of comfort and wealth to become a Franciscan

friar. After spending many years in prayer and study, St.

Anthony was asked to preach to the heretics, and used his

knowledge of Scripture and theology to help convert them.

June 24 - The Nativity of St. John the Baptist (1st Century).

Before St. John was born, his father, Zechariah received a

message from the angel Gabriel foretelling his birth. His

doubt was punished by his being struck speechless until

John’s birth.

Why do

Catholics

Do That

Why do Catholics honor the

Sacred Heart of Jesus?

Alone with God

We live our lives in God’s presence whether we are aware of Him or not. Take advantage of it and be alone with Him as often as possible. Soon you will see Him everywhere you are.

When the world around us looks very different from what we

expect, we lose the calming, soothing peace Christ wants to

give us. The best chance we have for achieving peace in the

midst of chaos is to move in harmony with God’s will. Try these

tips for a more peaceful life.

1. Don’t fear what is coming next. Fearing consequences

of the pandemic, worrying about finances, feeling anxious

about our health or the health of our loved ones can lead to

frustration and dismay. There’s no peace in trying to go it

alone. Instead, be open and place all your hopes, plans,

efforts at God’s feet. Let him handle your concerns for you.

2. Be kind and gentle. Resentment, anger, and frustration

rob you of peace. Be gentle and considerate of your neighbor.

Remember, Jesus was “meek and humble of heart” . (Matthew 11:29)

3. Learn to live with what you cannot control. When you let

God help you rise above such things, you’ll have the peace

acceptance brings.

4. Consult the Church for answers. It isn’t always easy to

discern God’s will, so Jesus created the Catholic Church. When

in doubt, turn to Scripture, the Catechism, or a trusted priest or

religious for advice. After all, helping us to achieve Heaven is

what they’re here for.
