“SOMETHING PATRICK-AL ”<br />
“THAT!!!” READING: “Did You Hear That?”<br />
You know ... Saint Paul’s advice to the early <strong>Church</strong> at Colossae, today’s second reading and also in his letter<br />
to the Ephesians: “Wives, be submissive to your husbands.” Reactions to such words range from anger to gloating.<br />
Were Paul of French de<strong>sc</strong>ent, might his name be “Chauvin”? Is Paul a central casting “natural” as Ralph<br />
Kramden? “Now get this straight, Alice! I am king of this castle!” [WPIX Channel 11 often re-runs Honeymooners<br />
episodes on New Year’s Day.] Absent Archie Bunker’s bigotry, can we imagine Paul saying, “Edith, stifle yourself!”<br />
or “Edith, get the beer!” Were Paul a Little Ra<strong>sc</strong>al, would he be a proud, card-carrying member of their “He-Man<br />
Woman Haters’ Club”? More recently, the PBS British comedy series Keeping Up Appearances, featuring the<br />
imperious airs-toting Hyacinth Bucket [“It’s pronounced ‘Boo-kay’!”]. Poor Richard ... his all-too-rare protests<br />
fall on un-listening ears, never taken seriously nor heeded. Rarely, she reminds him, “Richard, don’t make<br />
difficulties!” As Richard puts it, “Hyacinth drives; I just steer the car.”<br />
“Did you hear that?” I can still picture them — a family, four children, active parishioners at Holy Name of<br />
Mary, my first assignment. They moved to Syracuse, I think; I long ago lost track of them. Forty years later,<br />
those children are forty or fifty something, quite possibly with children of their own. Seated at Mass one 1970s<br />
Feast of the Holy Family, they began nudging each other as the second reading was being proclaimed, as if to<br />
say “Did you hear that?” as Paul challenged husbands, wives, parents, and children.<br />
What to do? Change the word “submissive”? Work on the translation some more? Edit the reading? Scratch<br />
such “sexist” verses from Scripture? Do parents cheer “Right on!” when Paul reminds children of obedience?<br />
Shall we think Paul a sometime “Doctor Spock” when he tells parents not to nag their children? Shall spouses,<br />
parents, and children poke one another, as that family did in Valley <strong>St</strong>ream so many years ago — “Did you hear<br />
that?” during today’s second reading? Do we conveniently “ignore” his words to slaves and masters, putting<br />
aside our horror that Paul seems to “condone” the injustice of someone “owning” another person?<br />
In both these passages in Colossians and Ephesians, Paul states a principle. In Ephesians, he writes,<br />
“Defer to one another out of reverence for Christ”, Today in Colossians, the principle is put this way: “Because<br />
you are God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourself with ... kindness, humility, meekness, and patience”.<br />
Elaborating further, Paul de<strong>sc</strong>ribes these and other qualities wherein “Me first!” has no place. In such moments,<br />
we do “submit” to one another --always in a way that is up-lifting and loving, never in a way that is abusive or<br />
demeaning. Let’s not forget, either, Paul’s admonition, “Husbands, love your wives”. To love someone is to<br />
submit to them in the best, most reverent sense possible - affirming that person’s God-given human dignity,<br />
and our own.<br />
Sometimes during a wedding homily. I mention someone saying to us, or our saying to someone else, “Just<br />
who do you think you are? - God’s gift?” Such a question derails an ego trip, ends a chorus of “How Great I Am”.<br />
Truth is, “Yes! I am God’s gift! And so are you!”<br />
That reading. Paul goes further, “Whatever you do, whether in speech or in action, do it in the<br />
name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father”. “Did you hear that?”<br />
That reading! It makes sense only when we understand that “submissive” never means “degrading” or<br />
“demeaning”. That reading! No mistaking, no faulting, our struggle with it. That reading! It jars our<br />
complacency, and makes us think. Would that every word of God’s Word did just that! “Did you hear that?”<br />
This Feast of the Holy Family, pray especially for your families and my family, as I pray for my family and<br />
your families. Yes, they are God’s gifts — and so are we! Christ’s peace to us all this New Year!<br />
Blessings galore!<br />

Bulletin Reflection<br />
The first reading today provides a challenging guideline<br />
for the good stewardship of our family relationships.<br />
How do I measure up?<br />
Living <strong>St</strong>ewardship<br />
We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish<br />
who embrace stewardship as a way of life. Their<br />
relationships with family, friends and co-workers are<br />
now different, influenced by a spirit of generosity and<br />
sharing, which affects all aspects of their daily lives.<br />

Hurricane Hurricane Sandy Sandy Appeal<br />
Appeal<br />
Thank you once again for your prayers<br />
for those so afflicted by Hurricane Sandy<br />
several weeks. As you may recall, your<br />
goodness in the Special Collection [Nov.<br />
17 & 18] on their behalf realized<br />
$25,817.<br />
Early in December, at its regularly<strong>sc</strong>heduled<br />
meeting, our Parish Finance<br />
Committee strongly recommended that we<br />
match your response with parish funds.<br />
Thanks to your ongoing <strong>St</strong>ewardship<br />
generosity, we are able to do that; I happily<br />
accepted their recommendation. We had<br />
already sent $ 5,000 each to three parishes<br />
in Long Beach and Island Park; we will<br />
send an additional $10,000 to those<br />
parishes before the end of the year.<br />
Most importantly, please continue to<br />
remember the people of these parishes in<br />
your prayers, especially at this Christmas<br />
season.<br />
Thank you!!!<br />

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in<br />
American men. Over 30,000 men die from this cancer each<br />
year. One in six men will get prostate cancer and yet, it is a<br />
very treatable disease if detected early through a simple<br />
blood <strong>sc</strong>reening test (PSA).<br />
A Prostate Cancer Support and Information Group is available<br />
to answer your questions. We explain information and<br />
resources available to you as you face dealing with this disease.<br />
Emphasis is placed on trying to help you get answers to the<br />

Eucharist for<br />
HomeboundParishioners<br />
Do you know someone who is homebound, perhaps a<br />
neighbor, friend or family member?<br />
These members of our parish community are no longer<br />
able to join our celebration of the Eucharist. Extraordinary<br />
Ministers of the Eucharist are available for flexible weekly<br />
visits. Ministers visit the same parishioners during these<br />
visits and bring both the Eucharist and a personal<br />
connection with the larger parish community. Prior to home<br />
visits, Ministers complete diocesan training including<br />
guidelines for bringing the Eucharist into homes as well as<br />
tips and suggestions from social workers; this training helps<br />
create a spiritual and comfortable experience for all<br />
involved.<br />
If you know someone who would benefit form this<br />
ministry please call Pastoral Care 385-3311 ex. 211<br />
EXPOSITION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT<br />
... takes place each Monday after the 9:00 am Mass or<br />
the last Funeral, and continues through 8:00 pm [except<br />
holidays] Please spend some time in adoration and<br />
prayer during the day. Exposition assumes and requires<br />
that the Blessed Sacrament never be left unattended;<br />
there have been times in recent weeks when<br />
no one was in <strong>Church</strong> during Exposition.<br />
What a wonderful opportunity is this special, gracefilled<br />
time of prayer for our parish!<br />
The Heart of Jesus Prayer Group meets every Friday from<br />
9:45-11:30 am in the lower rectory meeting room. We share<br />
prayer and praise through song, <strong>sc</strong>ripture and witness. Healing<br />
prayer is available at the end of every meeting. Please<br />
join us. For information call Marianne, 673-1031<br />
