Holy Hour Annunciation parish will be closed by order of the Diocese of Paterson until we receive further notice from the authorities concerning the coronavirus. We will keep you all in our prayers.
Prayer of Pope Francis for Protection and Help O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You…know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen. Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of those of us who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
Spiritual Communion Prayer My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen
He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross, so that, free from sin,
we might live for righteousness.
— 1 Peter 2:24a

From the Desk of Fr. Ricardo Our Gospel points us to the truth that no one could care for us as deeply, eternally or passionately as God does. If we trust in ourselves alone, we will eventually find a limit to our knowledge, our strength, or our health. Our Gospel tells us that God and God alone is in whom we place our trust. A young boy at one of our parish schools was given a month to memorize Psalm 23. He was to recite it at a school assembly, with the pastor and all the parents attending. When the big night came, he stood up and began, “The Lord is my shepherd,” and then his mind went blank. The people waited while he struggled to remember the next line. Finally, he started again, “The Lord is my Shepherd.” He paused, and then said, “And that is all I need to know.” First, there was silence, and then ap-plause because the child was right. The Lord is our shepherd, and that is all we need to know.
My dear friends, Jesus is saying that He is the good shepherd and that He cares for His sheep. He knows them by name, He takes a personal interest in them. And Jesus tells us that He is willing to lay down His life for the sheep. As He said, “Greater love has no person than to lay His life down for another.” In the book, “The Last Temptation of Christ,” we read of the devil slithering like a serpent up the back side of the cross, out of view of everyone. The devil has come to issue Jesus one last great temptation. He whispered in Jesus’ ear as He was dying, “O come on Jesus, look at them… they are not worth all this suffer-ing. Give them what they deserve, give them hell.” And Jesus says, “No, I would rather die than stop lov-ing them.” That story tells us a great truth: that Jesus would ra-ther die than stop loving us. That there is absolutely no limit to God’s love. There is no enemy that can snatch us out of His hand, and there is no way he will stop caring for us. This shepherd does not discriminate, He is the God of the Jews, and Samaritans, and Gen-tiles. The God of rejects, lepers, and thieves. The God of you and me, and those we call “them;” the God who knows all of us by name. What we see in the good shepherd is a terrible desire on God’s part to be with us, to be part of the human condition: our losses, our recessions, our disappoint-ments, and our fractured relationships: the deaths in our families, our addictions, all those things that can turn our life upside down. The message is clear: through all of this, the good times and the bad, God wants to be with us.
Good Shepherd Sunday The Voice of the Shepherd is the Heart of the Church. On this Sunday throughout the world, the whole Church prays that all Christian men and women will be receptive to the Voice of the Shepherd. We pray, in par-ticular, that those called to priesthood and religious life will be able to respond to that call. This mysterious dynamic of call and reply is played out in every baptized heart. Unfortunately, we live in a world that has so many voices - noisy, chaotic voices - that it is hard to hear. As Church, as individuals who are baptized, we must make every effort to hear for our-selves. We also have the obligation to make it easier for others to hear. How does our Lord and Shepherd want us to live our lives? In the weeks of the Easter Season, we focus particularly on our baptisms. When we “put on Christ” in Baptism, it is like putting on weight. We experience a kind of shift of gravity toward Christ. We were splashed with a water that stirred something deep in us. Baptism stirred our hearts to make us open to the voice of the Shepherd. On this Good Shepherd Sunday, we pray for every sin-gle Christian, that he or she may follow the call that Jesus personally offers. We pray for heart -felt attentiveness to His voice, that we may not stray. We pray that we find ourselves where He wants us to be.
Classes are cancelled until further notice.
The Diocese of Paterson requires Faith Formation programs to follow local school district policy. All Wayne Public Schools will remain closed until at least May 15, 2020. As a result, First Holy Communion, originally scheduled for Sunday, May 3, is postponed until further no-tice. A new date will be provided as soon as the circumstances allow. Our students continue to prepare from home. Please keep them in your prayers.
