CHURCH OF ST. THERESA, BRONX

FROM THE DESK OF FATHER DERIVAN:

Our Lord uses strong words in the gospel today, words which, at first, seem so very strange, “If your hand causes you to sin, cut it

off. If your feet or eyes cause you to sin, get rid of them.” Why is Our Lord speaking in this way? The first thing to understand is what

Our Lord is not saying. He is not saying that we should literally harm ourselves. Respect for the body which God has given us is

something that is expected from every person. The Lord certainly does not want us to harm our bodies. But then what is He telling us?

The answer is simple: the Lord wants us to remove from our hearts, from our minds, from our lives, anything that leads us to sin. Even

more He wants us to remove anything that stands in our way of following Him. It is as simple, but as important, as that. We must not

allow anyone or anything to stand in our way of coming closer to Jesus Our Lord.

In the next few days we honor two saints who certainly knew what Our Lord is talking about in the gospel today. They are saints

who are very popular among Catholic people, saints who teach us so much about following the Lord Jesus. The first one is our own holy

patroness, St. Theresa of the Infant Jesus (officially called by her French name St. Therese of Lisieux), called by the Pope the greatest

saint of modern times. Her years on this earth were only twenty-four in number. Her life, as far as the world was concerned, was very

uneventful. But her closeness to Jesus has inspired the world. She led a quiet childhood, experienced the loss of her mother when she

was four, then the mental illness of her beloved father. At the age of fifteen she entered the Carmelite convent at Lisieux near her home.

She never left that convent until her death just a few years later. We would probably never have known about her if her religious

superior (who was also her sister) had not instructed her to write down her reflections, which were published after her death in the book

called The Story of A Soul. In that book, Theresa describes what she calls her “Little Way” of holiness, namely to find God in the daily

things we do. To use the image of today’s gospel, she wanted to remove from her heart anything that got in the way of her loving Jesus

more and more. She wrote a beautiful sentence which we should all try to imitate. She wrote this, “I want to love Jesus more than

anyone has ever loved Him before.” Should that not be the aim of every Christian’s life?

And the second saint we honor next Sunday, October 4th has been called the greatest Christian since Christ Himself. His name is

Francis of Assisi, one of the most beloved saints of the Church. As a young man from a well-to-do family, he lived a carefree life, not a

bad life, but not a life either which he felt was meaningful and important. One day he heard the voice of Jesus speaking from the crucifix, “Francis, build up my church for it is falling into ruins.” Francis thought the Lord was asking him to rebuild a little chapel, the

Chapel of San Damiano, near his home. So he took brick and mortar to repair that church. When he was finished, he thought his work

was done, only to hear the voice of Jesus speaking to him again in the same words as before. “Francis, build up my Church for it is

falling into ruins.” And in that instant Francis realized that the Lord was inviting him to change his life, to give up everything, and to

build up the Church by the quality of his life. And so he went before the bishop and literally did what the gospel says today, he gave up

everything, even the clothes he wore, to follow the Lord Jesus. And indeed Francis did rebuild the Church and rebuilt the world. He called people to a simple life, a life of love of God and neighbor, a life of respecting God’s Creation, a life of peace among people and

among nations. He invited the world to be “the instruments of God’s peace.”

What wonderful saints are Theresa and Francis! How much we can learn from them! We are not called to live in a convent like St.

Theresa. We are not called to literally give up what we have like St. Francis. But we are called to get rid of anything and everything that

separates us from following Jesus and loving Him. May St. Theresa and St. Francis be our helpers from heaven. May we keep them in

mind as we try to follow Jesus more and more each day. With St. Francis, may we be the instruments of God’s peace. And, with St. Theresa; every day may we try to love Jesus more than He has ever been loved before.

Father Thomas B. Derivan

COLUMBUS DAY PARADE

Dear Friends:

I encourage you to come to the Morris Park Columbus Day Parade which will take place on Sunday, October 11th beginning at

12:00PM.

We are especially honored this year that our principal, Mrs. Josephine Fanelli, will be the Honorary Grand Marshal of the parade.

This is in recognition of her being principal of St. Theresa’s School, a life-long member of our community, and the president of the

Forum of Italian American Educators. This is a fitting honor for Mrs. Fanelli who has done so much not only for our school, but our

community. Congratulations, Mrs. Fanelli!

Father Thomas B. Derivan

TWENTY SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

One of the most popular saints of the Church, St. Theresa (1873-1897), called “The Little Flower” entered the Carmel of Lisieux at

age 15 and nine years later winged her way to heaven. She took for her motto the well-known words of the great Carmelite mystic, John

of the Cross: “Love is repaid by love alone.” In the following excerpt from her autobiography, we find that it was in reading the epistles

of St. Paul that she discovered for herself the primacy of love.

“Since my longing for martyrdom was powerful and unsettling, I turned to the epistles of St. Paul in the hope of finally finding an

answer. By chance the 12th and 13th chapters of the first epistle to the Corinthians caught my attention, and in the first section I read that

not everyone can be an apostle, prophet or teacher, that the Church is composed of a variety of members, and that the eye cannot be the

hand. Even with such an answer revealed before me, I was not satisfied and did not find peace.

“I persevered in the reading and did not let my mind wander until I found this encouraging theme: ‘Set your desires on the greater

gifts, and I will now show you the way which surpasses all others.’ For the Apostle insists that the greater gifts are nothing at all without

love and that this same love is surely the best path leading directly to God. At length I had found peace of mind.

“Love appeared to me to be the hinge for my vocation. Indeed I knew that the church has a body composed of various members, but

in this body the necessary and more noble member was not lacking; I knew that the Church had a heart and that such a heart appeared to

be aflame with love. I knew that one love drove the members of the Church to action, that if this love were extinguished, the apostles

would have proclaimed the Gospel no longer, the martyrs would have shed their blood no more. I saw and realized that love sets off the

bounds of all vocations, that love is everything, that this same love embraces every time and every place. In one word, that love is everlasting.

“Then, nearly ecstatic with the supreme joy in my soul, I proclaimed: O Jesus, my love, at last I have found my calling: my call is

love. Certainly I have found my proper place in the Church, and you gave me that very place, my God. In the heart of the Church, my

mother, I will be love, and thus I will be all things, as my desire finds its direction.”

TRIDUUM IN HONOR OF ST. THERESA:

We will have a triduum (three days) of Masses honoring our holy

patroness, St. Theresa of the Infant Jesus, this week on Tuesday,

Wednesday and Thursday at 7:00PM each evening. We invite all,

particularly families, to come to Mass each evening to celebrate

our love for St. Theresa who has been called “the greatest saint of

modern times.”

A PRAYER TO OBTAIN THE SPIRIT OF

ST. THERESA

O God of merciful love, you have never failed your people in any

age, but have always raised up saints as lamps to their feet on the

road to salvation.

We thank you for the waterfall of grace you poured down on St.

Theresa. Because she really believed the Gospel, she understood

it and you have endowed her with the gift of unfolding its riches

for us in our own day.

For this we thank you most sincerely and we ask for the

perseverance to follow the “Little Way” of holiness that yourself

revealed to her.

Teach us to give up our unrealistic dreams of heroism and settle

down to the task of being ourselves and accepting what we are.

Help us to want your will and nothing else, nothing at all, Lord.

Help us find it in the real world of every day’s here and now.

Convince us that the present moment with its light and its

darkness, its highs and its lows, its joys and its sorrows, is nothing

else than your own dwelling place, your very temple into which

you call us to be loved and to love, to love you and to love our

brothers and sisters, and not least of all, to love our own poor

wonderful selves.

We ask this through your own dear Son, Our Lord Jesus, who

lives and reigns with you in the joyous embrace of the Holy

Spirit, one God for always and forever. Amen

St. Lorenzo Ruiz

(1600-1637)

Memorial: September 28

Lawrence (Lorenzo) Ruiz was born in the Philippines to a

Chinese father and a Filipino mother. Educated by Dominican

friars, he served as an altar boy and sacristan in a church in

Binondo, a Chinese enclave in the city of Manila. He became a

skilled calligrapher and a devoted member of the Confraternity of

the Holy Rosary. A layman, he married and had three children.

In 1636, Lorenzo was accused of murder and sought asylum

among a group of Dominican priests traveling to Japan. Little did

he know of the persecution awaiting Christians there under the

shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu. Lorenzo and his companions were

soon captured and taken to Nagasaki, where they suffered

unspeakable tortures.

On September 27, 1637, Lorenzo and the priests were taken to

the “Mountain of Marytrs,” where they were hung upside down in

pits. After two days, Lorenzo died.

When he was offered the chance to renounce the faith to save

his life, he responded, “That I will never do, because I am a

Christian, and I shall die for God, and for him I will give many

thousands of lives if I had them.”

Between 1633 and 1637, 16 Christians gave their lives for the

faith in Japan and so earned the martyr’s crown. Though many

came to Japan from the Philippines, Lorenzo was the only native-

born Filipino, and thus has the distinction of being the country’s

first canonized saint and martyr.

Having left his family and homeland, Lorenzo Ruiz reminds

us of Christ’s teaching that “everyone who has given up houses or

brothers or sisters or fathers or mother or children or lands for the

sake of my name will receive a hundred times more, and will

inherit eternal life” (Mt 19:29).

INCREASED OFFERTORY GIVING CAMPAIGN:

Last weekend we officially began the Increased Offertory Giving

Campaign in our parish. As you know from the announcement I

gave last weekend at Mass, the Archdiocese is conducting an In-

creased Offertory Giving Campaign called “Sharing Our Gifts” to

invite parishioners to increase their weekly Church contribution.

You know the heavy demands of costs that face your own family

and that is true of our “Church Family” as well.. We ask you to

prayerfully consider increasing your weekly offering, if that is

possible. If you wish, you can use Parish Giving for electronic

giving. Information about this is available on our parish website

www.sttheresachurchbronx.org or at the Rectory. We know the

great devotion of our parishioners to our parish. God bless you

for whatever help you can give to St. Theresa’s Parish.

Father Thomas B. Derivan

This Friday, October 2 at 5:00PM we will have the blessing of

animals through the intercession of St. Francis of Assisi. You are

invited to bring all pets for this blessing which will take place in

front of the church. In the words of an old hymn,” All creatures

may hear and accept the invitation from you and return home to
