From the Pastor’s Desk
In Exodus Chapter 20 we read the account
of God giving the Israelites the Ten Commandments, and we are told that while God was
giving them to Moses there was thunder and
lighting, the sound of trumpets, and the entire
mountain was surrounded by smoke. At this
sight, the people trembled and kept their distance from the mountain. They begged God
and Moses to have only Moses speak to God,
and subsequently Moses could share God’s
message with them. They cried out, “‘But, do
not have God speak to us or we will die.’”
Today’s reading from Deuteronomy continues the story from Exodus. Again, Moses was
the Lord’s spokesman along the journey, but
now the journey was coming to an end, and so
was Moses. So in today’s reading, Moses tells
the people, “‘A prophet like me will the Lord,
your God, raise up for you from among your
own kin; to him you shall listen. This is exactly what you requested of the Lord, your God,
at Horeb.’” And as God continues, “‘I will raise
up for them a prophet like you from among
their kin, and will put my words into his mouth;
he shall tell them all that I command him.
Whoever will not listen to my words which he
speaks in my name, I myself will make him answer for it.’”
This promised prophet is understood in later
times to be none other than the Messiah; the
one who will come and speak in God’s name.
The prophet then is Our Lord Jesus Christ,
and this is what Mark is getting at in today’s
Gospel Reading, when he notes that Jesus
speaks as one having his own authority, and
not like the scribes. What does this mean?
Jesus speaks like Moses in the sense that
what He says comes directly from God. The
scribes, Pharisees, and Rabbis of old and of
great fame (even to this very day) spoke about
the things that they studied from the Torah
and what was spoken by the great prophets.
They taught what was passed down to them,
and there was nothing wrong with this
because they were passing on good, holy
teachings that were inspired by the Holy Spirit.
However, Jesus, like Moses, is speaking
directly what was being said by God, but
unlike Moses, Jesus is much more than
a prophet, for Jesus is God.
Therefore what Jesus spoke is not like
Moses repeating what he heard from God,
when Jesus spoke it was (and is) God directly
speaking to humanity.
As it is pointed out by Scripture Scholars
and by Mark, it seems the one who knows
Jesus best at His first preaching in the
synagogue is the demon who is driven out of
the man. It is the demon who says, “‘I know
who you are –the Holy One of God!’” In fact, at
every occurrence where Jesus drives out an
unclean spirit, the demon or demons always
know who He is and always reacts with fear,
because He has power over them. Also notice,
that Jesus will; not allow them to speak or
testify to who he truly is. This is because it is
not their testimony He wants. Jesus wants the
testimony of those who have been saved.
Mark wants us to know that Jesus’ fame
spread all over Galilee not only because He
drove out demons, but because He teaches
with divine authority. Mark wants us to know
that His message is just as important as His
deeds.
For the past 2015 years, the Church, has
been spreading the Good News about Jesus
and He has given her the ability to speak in His
name, and to invoke His authority in spreading
the Gospel. At times the Church has done this
very well, and at times she has not. When she
has not, it seems that the Church was listening
to itself, and not her founder or she was more
concerned with how she looked than what
Jesus wants her to do. But keep in mind, that
we are the Church, and in order for the Church
to stay on the right path, all of us must listen
to the voice of the Messiah, and yield to his
wonderful, loving, and merciful authority. All
of us must carry out His work and do what
Jesus would do. The saying What Would
Jesus Do (WWJD) is more than just something
found on a bracelet, it should be our motto and
how we live our lives everyday.
God bless you always.

Gospel Glimpses
Fr. Mike

Fr. Hyacinth &
Fr. Joe
Fr. Mike
Do you believe that God’s word has power to set you free
and to transform your life? When Jesus taught he spoke
with authority. He spoke the word of God as no one had
spoken it before. When the Rabbis taught they supported
their statements with quotes from other authorities. The
prophets spoke with delegated authority - "Thus says the
Lord." When Jesus spoke he needed no authorities to back
his statements. He was authority incarnate - the Word of
God made flesh. When he spoke, God spoke. When he
commanded even the demons obeyed. Augustine of Hippo
remarked that "faith is mighty, but without love it profits
nothing. The devils confessed Christ, but lacking charity it
availed nothing. They said, 'What have we to do with
you' (Mark 1:24)? They confessed a sort of faith, but
without love. Hence they were devils." Faith is powerful,
but without love it profits nothing (1 Corinthians 13).
Scripture tells us that true faith works through love
(Galatians 5:6) and abounds in hope (Romans 15:13). Our
faith is made perfect in love because love orients us to the
supreme good which is God himself as well as the good of
our neighbor who is created in the image and likeness of
God (Genesis 1:26,27). Hope anchors our faith in the
promises of God and purifies our desires for the things
which will last for eternity. That is why the word of Christ
has power to set us free from all that would keep us bound
in sin, deception, and despair. Bede the venerable abbot of
an English monastery (672-735) contrasted the power and
authority of Jesus' word with the word of the devil: "The
devil, because he had deceived Eve with his tongue, is
punished by the tongue, that he might not speak" [Homilies
on the Gospels 1.8]. If we approach God’s word
submissively, with an eagerness to do everything the Lord
desires, we are in a much better position to learn what God
wants to teach us through his word "Lord Jesus, your word
is power and life. May I never doubt your saving love and
mercy, and the power of your word to bring healing and
deliverance to those in need."

CHARITY IS THE ROLE OF ALL CATHOLICS
RCIA
The preparation for baptism and Christian instruction
are both of vital concern to God’s people, the Church,
which hands on and nourishes the faith received from
the apostles.” (RCIA 7)
When catechumens and candidates gather with their
sponsor, or with the parish team, so much is happening all at once. Friendships are made, and words of
encouragement are shared, and the faith is passed on.
RCIA sessions focus on Jesus in the Scriptures, his
care and concern for all, and what his words and
actions mean for us, today. In reflecting each week
on the Sunday readings, Jesus gradually becomes
a friend who walks with us. And over time, each realizes that it really is we who are coming to walk with
Jesus!
Someone who became Catholic here at St. Edwards
a few years ago shares this:
The RCIA experience for me was one that I
will always remember. For me it came at about the
same time that I was contemplating how someone
"became Catholic". You see I was married to a Catholic since 1989 and we were both parishioners for
some time at St Edwards and our children went
through the religious education program there.
Although I was baptized Presbyterian I never
really "grew up" with the church. Coming to Mass
regularly was probably the motivating factor for me
in joining the RCIA--it made GOD real and I felt
something being in his presence and in being present
with so many others who believed. I wanted to learn
more and I wanted to participate in the Eucharist.
The RCIA time I spent with fellow parishioners was very enlightening. It was part instructional
but it was also just friends talking about their relationship with God. I am very glad I participated.
We thank God for the goodness of all the parishioners
of our parish who helped lead this person to the
Church!

Year of Consecrated Life
Pope Francis has designated 2015 as the Year
of Consecrated Life.
This is a time to remember and recount the glorious history of religious life, of the many men and women religious of the past, and the great things they
accomplished. We must also recall and rejoice
in the men and women religious of today who
continue the traditions of their founders right
here on Long Island and throughout the world.
The Holy Father tells us to look at the past with
gratitude, to tell our stories to all, and to thank
God for so many gifts. Pope Francis calls us to
live the present with passion. Lastly he asks us
to embrace the future with hope. Acknowledging the difficulties of our day: decreasing vocations and aging members, economic problems,
threats posed by relativism and a sense of social
irrelevance, we are called to practice the virtue
of hope, the fruit of our faith in the Lord of
history,
who
continues
to
tell
us:
“Be not afraid…for I am with you” (Jer 1:8)
Ultimately, Pope Francis is calling all religious
“to wake up the world,” since the distinctive
sign of consecrated life is prophecy, to be
prophets who witness to how Jesus lived on this
earth.”
Two religious communities live and minister in
St. Edward’s Parish, the Sisters of Mercy and
the Sisters of St. Dominic. During this Year of
Consecrated Life, there will be occasional
columns written by Sisters in each of these
communities, recounting a bit of their history,
telling their stories and the ministries they do in
our midst. Watch for them!

What are angels? What do they do? How are they different from us, and why do we sometimes confuse them with God? Why are angels good and demons bad, and why can’t demons
be forgiven? How do angels see? Are we simply angels covered in skin? What can angels
make me think, and what can’t they make me do? What is it like to stand in a crowd of angels,
and why doesn’t that make a lot of sense?
These are just some of the questions that can be legitimately posed about those interesting
