 A MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR 
12 OCTOBER 2014
Tie-One-On With A Hat And No Jeans Sunday
(It’s not just about the clothing.)
The second Sunday of the month has arrived and so has Tie-One-On With A Hat And
No Jeans Sunday at Our Holy Redeemer: the “once a month” event that encourages
men to wear ties, women to wear hats, no one to wear jeans, and all of us who
come home to Our Holy Redeemer to wear our Sunday best! This month, the
month of October, Respect Life month (please join us on Thursday, 22 January for
our annual Pilgrimage for Life to Washington, D.C.), and the month of the year
dedicated to Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary (please come home on
Friday, 17 October at 7:30 P.M. for our bi-annual candlelight Rosary procession),
our monthly event occurs on a Sunday when the inspired Readings (in particular the
Gospel) for Mass speak of the Biblical origins for Tie-One-On With A Hat And No
Jeans Sunday at Our Holy Redeemer in Freeport!
And so, what about our Mass attire? It may be true that the clothing doesn’t
make the man, the woman, or the child, and it may be true that God doesn’t care
what we wear to church, but the clothing does make a difference! In fact, how
we clothe ourselves on the outside very often reveals something about how we
are clothed on the inside. What internal disposition are we revealing when we
dress no differently for church than we do for a trip to the mall, the beach, or
even bed for that matter? Could it be that our casual dress, chosen merely for our
own comfort and convenience, is a reflection of an equally casual, can't-bebothered attitude toward God Himself?
The internal dispositions that our clothing should reveal to others are those which we would want God to see.
Amongst these we could identify modesty, purity, and prudence. God certainly does not need these material
expressions to know our hearts, but as for the rest of us, we do indeed look on the outward appearance, even
when peering into our own mirrors. In this way the clothes we choose for church may have things to tell us about
our hearts that God already knows, but that we (and those around us) need to hear. (If you want to hear more
about today’s Parable, please turn to the Scripture Reflection of page 9.) Our internal and external states are
very much related. The fact is, when it comes to how we clothe ourselves, our external appearance is often an
expression of our internal state. Thus our Mass attire may not only say more than we think, it may in fact matter
more than we think as well. So when the next Tie-One-On With A Hat And No Jeans Sunday arrives at Our Holy
Redeemer (9 November) I hope you think about wearing your wedding garment dressed in your Sunday best!

NOW A WORD FROM OUR SAINTS
(ABOUT THE FAMILY)
APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION
FAMILIARIS CONSORTIO
OF POPE JOHN PAUL II
TO THE EPISCOPATE
TO THE CLERGY AND TO THE FAITHFUL
OF THE WHOLE CATHOLIC CHURCH
ON THE ROLE OF THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY
IN THE MODERN WORLD
(22 November 1981)
PART ONE
BRIGHT SPOTS AND SHADOWS FOR THE FAMILY TODAY
The Need To Understand the Situation
4. Since God's plan for marriage and the family touches men and women in the concreteness of their daily
existence in specific social and cultural situations, the Church ought to apply herself to understanding the
situations within which marriage and the family are lived today, in order to fulfill her task of serving.
This understanding is, therefore, an inescapable requirement of the work of evangelization. It is, in fact, to
the families of our times that the Church must bring the unchangeable and ever new Gospel of Jesus Christ,
just as it is the families involved in the present conditions of the world that are called to accept and to live
the plan of God that pertains to them. Moreover, the call and demands of the Spirit resound in the very
events of history, and so the Church can also be guided to a more profound understanding of the
inexhaustible mystery of marriage and the family by the circumstances, the questions and the anxieties and
hopes of the young people, married couples and parents of today.
To this ought to be added a further reflection of particular importance at the present time. Not
infrequently ideas and solutions which are very appealing but which obscure in varying degrees the truth
and the dignity of the human person, are offered to the men and women of today, in their sincere and
deep search for a response to the important daily problems that affect their married and family life. These
views are often supported by the powerful and pervasive organization of the means of social
communication, which subtly endanger freedom and the capacity for objective judgment.
Many are already aware of this danger to the human person and are working for the truth. The Church,
with her evangelical discernment, joins with them, offering her own service to the truth, to freedom and to
the dignity of every man and every woman.
Evangelical Discernment
5. The discernment effected by the Church becomes the offering of an orientation in order that the entire
truth and the full dignity of marriage and the family may be preserved and realized.
This discernment is accomplished through the sense of faith, which is a gift that the Spirit gives to all the
faithful, and is therefore the work of the whole Church according to the diversity of the various gifts and
charisms that, together with and according to the responsibility proper to each one, work together for a
more profound understanding and activation of the word of God The Church, therefore, does not
accomplish this discernment only through the Pastors, who teach in the name and with the power of Christ
but also through the laity: Christ "made them His witnesses and gave them understanding of the faith and
the grace of speech (cf. Acts 2:17-18; Rv. 19:10), so that the power of the
Gospel might shine forth in their daily social and family life." The laity,
moreover, by reason of their particular vocation have the specific role of
interpreting the history of the world in the light of Christ, in as much as
they are called to illuminate and organize temporal realities according to
the plan of God, Creator and Redeemer.
PRAYER FOR THE
SYNOD ON THE
FAMILY
(5 October 2014 - 19 October 2014)
The "supernatural sense of faith" however does not consist solely or
necessarily in the consensus of the faithful. Following Christ, the Church
seeks the truth, which is not always the same as the majority opinion.
She listens to conscience and not to power, and in this way she defends
the poor and the downtrodden. The Church values sociological and
statistical research, when it proves helpful in understanding the historical
context in which pastoral action has to be developed and when it leads to
a better understanding of the truth. Such research alone, however, is not
to be considered in itself an expression of the sense of faith.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
in you we contemplate
the splendour of true love,
to you we turn with trust.
Because it is the task of the apostolic ministry to ensure that the Church
remains in the truth of Christ and to lead her ever more deeply into that
truth, the Pastors must promote the sense of the faith in all the faithful,
examine and authoritatively judge the genuineness of its expressions,
and educate the faithful in an ever more mature evangelical discernment.
Holy Family of Nazareth,
grant that our families too
may be places of communion
and prayer, authentic schools of
the Gospel and small domestic
Churches.
Christian spouses and parents can and should offer their unique and
irreplaceable contribution to the elaboration of an authentic evangelical
discernment in the various situations and cultures in which men and
women live their marriage and their family life. They are qualified for
this role by their charism or specific gift, the gift of the sacrament of
matrimony.
Holy Family of Nazareth,
may families never again
experience violence, rejection
and division: may all who have
been hurt or scandalized find
ready comfort and healing.
Holy Family of Nazareth,
may the approaching Synod of
Bishops make us once more
mindful of the sacredness and
inviolability of the family, and its
beauty in God’s plan.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
graciously hear our prayer.
Amen.

The Situation of the Family in the World Today
6. The situation in which the family finds itself presents positive and
negative aspects: the first are a sign of the salvation of Christ operating in
the world; the second, a sign of the refusal that man gives to the love of
God.
On the one hand, in fact, there is a more lively awareness of personal
freedom and greater attention to the quality of interpersonal
relationships in marriage, to promoting the dignity of women, to
responsible procreation, to the education of children. There is also an
awareness of the need for the development of interfamily relationships,
for reciprocal spiritual and material assistance, the rediscovery of the
ecclesial mission proper to the family and its responsibility for the
building of a more just society. On the other hand, however, signs are not
lacking of a disturbing degradation of some fundamental values: a
mistaken theoretical and practical concept of the independence of the
spouses in relation to each other; serious misconceptions regarding the
relationship of authority between parents and children; the concrete
difficulties that the family itself experiences in the transmission of values;
the growing number of divorces; the scourge of abortion; the ever more
frequent recourse to sterilization; the appearance of a truly
contraceptive mentality. …

Our optional Extended Day Program, which
runs from dismissal at 3:30 PM until 5:00 PM,
has seen some changes this year. First, we
added a fourth day when the program is offered. Second, we
provided various options if parents wished to augment
homework tutoring with music lessons, sports clinics, and
problem solving sessions. Despite the challenge of arranging
transportation at the later hour enrollment in the Program has
grown by 50% bringing the number of participants to thirty-six.
It is no surprise that student grades improve when the young
men have a teacher available to provide help when they
encounter a challenge when doing their homework. It is also
encouraging to see our students take advantage of opportunities
to cultivate their skills in other areas in a safe environment with
competent instructors. Only $30 a month provides our students
with the benefits of our Extended Day Program.

What do you do when inclement weather or sickness prevents you from attending Sunday Mass at Our Holy

More than likely, if you use Parish Envelopes to make your offering, you will place “Sunday-missed” envelopes in the
Offertory basket the next time you attend Mass. If you don’t use envelopes, it is more than likely that your Sundaymissed offering will remain missing. It is not that you intentionally choose to give Our Holy Redeemer less, it’s just
hard to intentionally give to Our Holy Redeemer what you think is more. “Stop thinking”; use envelopes or use

SCRIPTURE REFLECTION
“The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come” (See Matthew
22:1-14). Jesus’ words in today’s Gospel help us to see that we must be found worthy of
the Kingdom. We have been invited, but we must do all we can to accept the invitation and
then with the help of the sacraments, the grace of God, and the intercession of our saints
and the Blessed Virgin Mary, we must clean our lives and try to live the good life that God
intends us to live. How can we do this? In the second reading St. Paul tells us: “I can do all
things in Him who strengthens me” (See Philippians 4:12-20). We do not need to feel
overwhelmed by the responsibility of becoming worthy of the Kingdom. God will supply the
strength to do so if we trust in Him. What we need to do is to trust in God and let Him do
His work. Why not follow Mary’s advice to, “Do whatever He tells you” (See John 2:1-11).
Please Pray for Our Priests
O God, Who made Your Only Begotten Son eternal High Priest, grant that those He has chosen
as ministers and stewards of Your mysteries may be found faithful in carrying out the ministry
they have received. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

FAITH AND THE ROMAN MISSAL
WITH HELP FROM THE PASTOR AND POPE LEO XIII
“For we have the record of not a few brave and experienced men, both before
and after Christopher Columbus, who with stubbornness and zeal explored
unknown lands and seas yet more unknown. And the memory of these, man,
mindful of benefits, rightly holds, and will hold in honour; because they
advanced the ends of knowledge and humanity, and increased the common
prosperity of the race, not by light labour, but by supreme exertion, often
accompanied by great dangers. But there is, nevertheless, between these and
him of whom we speak, a generous difference. He was distinguished by this
unique note, that in his work of traversing and retraversing immense tracts of
ocean, he looked for a something greater and higher than did these others. We
say not that he was unmoved by perfectly honourable aspirations after
knowledge, and deserving well of human society; nor did he despise glory, which
is a most engrossing ideal to great souls; nor did he altogether scorn a hope of
advantages to himself; but to him far before all these human considerations was
the consideration of his ancient faith, which questionless dowered him with strength of mind and will, and
often strengthened and consoled him in the midst of the greatest difficulties. This view and aim is known to
have possessed his mind above all; namely, to open a way for the Gospel over new lands and seas. …”
… “And if (Christopher Columbus) moved Ferdinand and Isabella to decree that only Catholic Christians should
be suffered to approach the New World and trade with the natives, he brought forward as reason, "that he
sought nothing from his enterprise and endeavour but the increase and glory of the Christian religion." And
this was well known to Isabella, who better than any had understood the great man's mind; indeed it is
evident that it had been clearly laid before that most pious, masculine-minded, and great-souled woman. For
she had declared of Columbus that he would boldly thrust himself upon the vast ocean, "to achieve a most
signal thing, for the sake of the Divine glory." And to Columbus himself, on his second return, she writes: "That
the expenses she had incurred, and was about to incur, for the Indian expeditions, had been well bestowed;
for thence would ensure a spreading of Catholicism."

A ‘JUST WAR’ EXPLAINED
(SAINT ROBERT BELLARMINE-DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH)
“Those who treat of such matter usually enumerate four conditions of a just war, lawful authority, a just cause, a
good intention, and a suitable method. But each must be discussed by itself.”
Continued from Sunday, 5 October . . .
THE THIRD CONDITION: GOOD INTENTION (CONTINUED)
Secondly, it should be noted that this third condition differs from the two preceding,
because if these are absent they make the war unjust, but if this last is absent it
makes the war evil, but not, strictly speaking, unjust. For whosoever begins a war
without authority or without a just cause, sins not only against charity, but also
against justice, and he is not so much a soldier as a robber; but he who has authority
and a just cause, and yet makes war from a love of revenge, or the desire of increasing
his domain, or for any other evil motive, does not act against justice, but only against
charity, and is not a robber, but a wicked soldier. From which it follows that when this
third condition alone is lacking, neither soldiers nor kings are bound to any restitution,
but only to repentance; but when the first or the second is lacking, all are bound to
repair the damage inflicted, unless they are excused by reason of invincible ignorance;
for just as gross and culpable ignorance does not excuse from sin, so neither does it
excuse from restitution, as appears in the last chapter on injuries and the loss
inflicted. But he who acts in invincible ignorance is not bound to restitution while he
so acts, but when he recognizes that the war is unjust he is bound to restitution, not for injury inflicted during the war,
but he is if through that war he has acquired anything that does not belong to him; and if he has taken no money, but
yet has become richer by the sale of goods, he is bound to make restitution to the extent to which he has enriched
himself; for he cannot retain the property of another, even if by reason of ignorance he has acquired it without sin,
but restoration should be made either to the original owner, if he is known, or to the poor.

ADDRESSING CRIME IN FREEPORT
An Open Letter from Mayor Kennedy
Although the overall crime statistics have decreased in Freeport in 2014, several recent crimes within the Village require
special attention and considerations from our Police Department and this administration.
In effort to discourage and prevent these crimes, I have:
1. Implemented a new program wherein license plate readers, security cameras, and additional electronic
equipment be installed in strategic locations. This will enable immediate notification to the Police Department
of pending violators as well as providing additional information for investigative purposes when a crime has
been committed.
2. We hired a Police Department statistician to join with Nassau County Police and other law enforcement
agencies to develop future predictions on crime types and locations.
3. I have requested our Legal Department to aggressively address the removal of persons considered “public
nuisances” and affecting the quality of life for our neighbors and Village of Freeport residents.
4. I have directed the Police Department to affix several links on their website to include: a calendar link that will
allow all civic groups to contact the Police Department and invite a representative to their meetings; crime
prevention regular updates; and quarterly crime statistics for the Village of Freeport.
5. The Village of Freeport will secure the services of a consulting firm to assist this administration in preventing
crime, providing safer neighborhoods, and community involvement.
This administration is committed to providing a safe community for all families. The Freeport Police Department will
continue to provide the expert, professional, respectful, and proficient law enforcement as it has in the past and continues
into the future.
COME HOLY GHOST
Come, Holy Ghost, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.
Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us Pray.
O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us
in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever to rejoice in His consolation,
through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Father Arcoleo is glad and rejoicing to announce that

 UNA CARTA DEL PAPA 
12 DE OCTUBRE DE 2014
“Queridas familias:
Me presento a la puerta de su casa para hablarles de un acontecimiento
que, como ya saben, tendrá lugar el próximo mes de octubre en el
Vaticano. Se trata de la Asamblea general extraordinaria del Sínodo de los
Obispos, convocada para tratar el tema “Los retos pastorales de la familia
en el contexto de la evangelización”. Pues la Iglesia hoy está llamada a
anunciar el Evangelio afrontando también las nuevas emergencias
pastorales relacionadas con la familia.
Este señalado encuentro es importante para todo el Pueblo de Dios,
Obispos, sacerdotes, personas consagradas y fieles laicos de las Iglesias
particulares del mundo entero, que participan activamente en su
preparación con propuestas concretas y con la ayuda indispensable de la
oración. El apoyo de la oración es necesario e importante especialmente de
parte de ustedes, queridas familias. Esta Asamblea sinodal está dedicada de
modo especial a ustedes, a su vocación y misión en la Iglesia y en la
sociedad, a los problemas de los matrimonios, de la vida familiar, de la
educación de los hijos, y a la tarea de las familias en la misión de la Iglesia.
Por tanto, les pido que invoquen con insistencia al Espíritu Santo, para que ilumine a los Padres sinodales y los
guíe en su grave responsabilidad. Como saben, a esta Asamblea sinodal extraordinaria seguirá un año después la
Asamblea ordinaria, que tratará el mismo tema de la familia. Y, en ese contexto, en septiembre de 2015, tendrá
lugar el Encuentro Mundial de las Familias en Filadelfia. Así pues, oremos todos juntos para que, mediante estas
iniciativas, la Iglesia realice un auténtico camino de discernimiento y adopte los medios pastorales adecuados
para ayudar a las familias a afrontar los retos actuales con la luz y la fuerza que vienen del Evangelio.
Les escribo esta carta el día en que se celebra la fiesta de la Presentación de Jesús en el templo. En el Evangelio
de Lucas vemos que la Virgen y San José, según la Ley de Moisés, llevaron al Niño al templo para ofrecérselo al
Señor, y dos ancianos, Simeón y Ana, impulsados por el Espíritu Santo, fueron a su encuentro y reconocieron en
Jesús al Mesías (cf. Lc 2,22-38). Simeón lo tomó en brazos y dio gracias a Dios porque finalmente había “visto” la
salvación; Ana, a pesar de su avanzada edad, cobró nuevas fuerzas y se puso a hablar a todos del Niño. Es una
hermosa estampa: dos jóvenes padres y dos personas ancianas, reunidas por Jesús. ¡Realmente Jesús hace que
generaciones diferentes se encuentren y se unan! Él es la fuente inagotable de ese amor que vence todo
egoísmo, toda soledad, toda tristeza. En su camino familiar, ustedes comparten tantos momentos inolvidables:
las comidas, el descanso, las tareas de la casa, la diversión, la oración, las excursiones y peregrinaciones, la
solidaridad con los necesitados… Sin embargo, si falta el amor, falta la alegría, y el amor auténtico nos lo da
Jesús: Él nos ofrece su Palabra, que ilumina nuestro camino; nos da el Pan de vida, que nos sostiene en las
fatigas de cada día.
Queridas familias, su oración por el Sínodo de los Obispos será un precioso tesoro que enriquecerá a la Iglesia.
Se lo agradezco, y les pido que recen también por mí, para que pueda servir al Pueblo de Dios en la verdad y en
la caridad. Que la protección de la Bienaventurada Virgen María y de San José les acompañe siempre y les ayude
a caminar unidos en el amor y en el servicio mutuo. Invoco de corazón sobre cada familia la bendición del
Señor.”
Vaticano, 2 de Febrero de 2014, Fiesta de la Presentación del Señor
REFLEXIÓN SEMANAL
“La boda está preparada; pero los que habían sido invitados no fueron dignos” (Ver Mateo 22, 1-14).
Las palabras de Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy nos ayudan a ver que debemos ser dignos del Reino.
Hemos sido invitados, pero, tenemos que hacer todo lo que podemos para aceptar la invitación y
entonces con la ayuda de los Sacramentos, la gracia de Dios y la intercesión de los santos y de la
Santísima Virgen, debemos limpiar nuestras vidas y tratar de vivir la vida buena que Dios se propone
que vivamos. ¿Cómo podemos hacer eso? En la segunda lectura San Pablo nos dice: “Todo lo
puedo unido a Aquel que me da fuerza” (Vea Filipenses 4:12-20). No debemos sentirnos abrumados
por la responsabilidad de ser dignos del Reino de Dios, pues Dios nos suministrará la fuerza que
necesitamos. Lo que sí tenemos que hacer es confiar en Dios y dejar que El haga su obra en
nosotros. ¿Por qué no seguir el consejo de María: “hagan todo lo que Él les diga” (Vea Juan 2:1-11).
El comenzó a Enseñarles Muchas Cosas
El comenzó a Enseñarles Muchas Cosas
Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo
Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo
2538 El décimo mandamiento exige que se destierre del corazón humano la envidia. Cuando el profeta Natán quiso estimular el
arrepentimiento del rey David, le contó la historia del pobre que sólo poseía una oveja, a la que trataba como una hija, y del rico que, a
pesar de sus numerosos rebaños, envidiaba al primero y acabó por robarle la oveja (cf 2 S 12, 1-4). La envidia puede conducir a las peores
fechorías (cf Gn 4, 3-7; 1 R 21, 1-29). La muerte entró en el mundo por la envidia del diablo (cf Sb 2, 24). «Luchamos entre nosotros, y es la
envidia la que nos arma unos contra otros [...] Si todos se afanan así por perturbar el Cuerpo de Cristo, ¿a dónde llegaremos? [...] Estamos
debilitando el Cuerpo de Cristo [...] Nos declaramos miembros de un mismo organismo y nos devoramos como lo harían las fieras» (San
Juan Crisóstomo, In epistulam II ad Corinthios, homilía 27, 3-4).

¿Qué puede usted hacer cuando el mal tiempo o la enfermedad le impiden asistir a la Misa Dominical de
Nuestro Santo Redentor, o las obligaciones de la familia o los negocios lo obligan a asistir a Misa en otra parte?
Si usted usa los Sobres Parroquiales para su ofrenda, lo más probable es que usted depositará los sobres de los
domingos perdidos la próxima vez que asista a Misa aquí. Si no usa sobres, es probable que las ofrendas de esos
domingos se pierdan del todo. No es que usted intencionalmente escoja dar menos a Nuestro Santo Redentor es
que es muy difícil dar a Nuestro Santo Redentor más de lo que usted cree. ¡Deténgase”; use sobres o haga sus
ofrendas por medio de E-Giving! E-Giving, [Ofrenda Electrónica] al igual que los Sobres de la Ofrenda (gracias
por usarlos) le provee la oportunidad de ejercer una administración fiel aun cuando el mal tiempo o la
enfermedad le impiden asistir a la Misa Dominical en Nuestro Santo Redentor, o cuando las obligaciones de la
familia o los negocios lo obliguen a asistir a Misa en otra parte.
Para más información sobre E-Giving llame a la Rectoría o visite nuestra página segura web www.e-giving.org.

ARE YOU DRESSED FOR THE WEDDING FEAST?
Jesus spoke to the chief priests and elders again in parables, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven may be likened
to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to
the feast, but they refused to come. … The king sent his servants out into the streets and they gathered all
they could find, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests. When the king came in, he saw a
man not dressed in a wedding garment. The king said to him, “My friend, how is it that you came in here
without a wedding garment?” But he was reduced to silence. The king had his hands and feet bound and
then thrown into the darkness. Many are invited, but few are chosen.
