BAKER'S BITS

1. Confession - This Sacrament is vital to our relationship with God. If the scheduled times do NOT work for you, Email me or one of the Priest to re- quest a time to meet at the Confes- sional. It's not an inconvenience........it's our job!

2. Anointing of the Sick - this Sunday (1/15/17) the Sacra- ment of the Healing will be offered at the end of the 11:15 and 12:30 Masses. Anyone who is afflicted in mind, body or soul is invited to receive the anointing. Email me or one of the priests if time does not work for you. Usually we offer this sacrament the second Sunday of the month but because of all the events in the beginning of January we moved it to the third Sunday of the month.

3. Parish Business Office will be closed Monday, January 16 which is Martin Luther King Day.

Landscaper needed: If there is someone that you would like to recommend please email Information to parishof- fice@eastrivercatholics.org or call Rectory office 212-734- 4613

"When you fail to measure up to your Christian privilege, be not discouraged for discouragement is a form of pride. The reason you are sad is because you looked to yourself and not to God; to your failings not to His love. You will shake off your faults more readily when you love God than when you criticize yourself. God is more lenient than you because he is perfectly good and therefore loves you more. Be bold enough then to believe that God is on your side, even when you forget to be on His. Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Preface to Religion)

Keď sa vám nedarí dosiahnuť úroveň, ktorú od vás žiada privilégium, že ste kresťanom, nedajte sa tým znechutiť, lebo znechutenie je určitá forma pýchy. Dôvodom, že ste smutný je, že ste sa obracali na seba a nie na Boha, obracali ste sa k svojim nedostatkom a nie k Jeho láske. Ľahšie sa zbavíte svojich problémov a nedostatkov, keď budete milovať Boha, než keď budete kritizovať seba. Boh je toleratnejší než vy, lebo On je perfektne dobrý a miluje vás viac než vy sami seba. Naberte odvahu a verte, že Boh je na vašej strane, aj ked vy zabudnete byť na jeho strane. Arcibiskup Fulton Sheen (predslov ku knihe Náboženstvo)
