Praised be Jesus Christ,
This Sunday Gospel leads us toward the most basic and fundamental law – the law of Love. Love is our foundation as we were all created out of Love and to this Love we shall return. At the same time because of the reality of the original sin we had lost our original holiness in us, through the disobedience against the Law of Our Creator and Father who indeed is Love.
It is worthy to underline resounding the message from this Sunday’s Gospel reading, that there is nothing from the outside what can defile a person but things that are coming from within – from our hearts – that is what defiles.“From within people, from their hearts,
come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder,
adultery, greed, malice, deceit,
licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly.
All these evils come from within, and they defile.” (Mark 7:21-23)
At the same time there should not be any human law which would be in the contrary to the Divine Law of Love. For that reason there is a great necessity to develop in us this (so called) “moral spine” – which will makes us conscious and alert of the reality of evil in this World. Evil, which often times appears as solution for our fears, wants, desires, as well as emptiness and loneliness. Only God and His True Love can perfectly and effectively satisfy us for good.
That’s why we should on the very special way take a look on the way we act, what we say and how we approach these among our brothers and sisters who are still in the search for the One who Is The Way and The Truth and The Life. That they will be able to see that we are true and genuine disciples of Christ and apostles of His Love. Let’s then continue our journey toward Salvation in the spirit of True Love and may this Love makes us better people and better Christians. I wish you all blessed Sunday and a Love filled week. May Good God bless you always and keep you safe.
Yours In Christ, Fr. Dawid J. Wejnerowski

Through your support of the Bishop’s Annual Appeal you help those in our diocese whose needs are the greatest—the poor, the homeless, and those struggling with illness or grief. Among other needed pastoral ministries, your gift also supports the formation of seminarians and enhances the work of the Vicariate for Evangelization and Communication. The many pastoral, educational and charitable ministries of the Diocese of Metuchen would not be possible without a generous contribution from every household.

ACT OF Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
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.
