ST. JEANNE JUGAN JOURNAL

JULY 5, 2020 FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN

ORDINARY TIME

HOLY FAMILY CHURCH ST. JEANNE JUGAN PARISH ST. BERNARD CHURCH

“Come to me, all you who labor and are

burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28

REFLECT We are all familiar with the refrain, “You have put on Christ. In him you have been baptized. Alleluia, alleluia!” In Baptism, we “put on” Christ. In putting on Christ, we put on all that Christ is and represents: hope, faith, and love. We are no longer bound to the sins and failures of the flesh, that part of us that resists God and relies exclusively on human means. It also means that we are not in debt to our past, complete with its sins, failures, regrets, fears, and unfulfilled dreams. There is always hope. In putting on Christ, we put on God’s vision for the world, for all of His children and for us. We have been given a road map to guide our paths and a blueprint to follow for our life’s journey.

There is no need for regret, and we are not tethered to our past. Is there anything in your past that you regret? Any decision or memory that continues to haunt you? We have all made mistakes, and we have this uncanny ability to continue beating ourselves up over things we can no longer do anything about, except learn from them. To put on Christ means that I can now bring God’s unconditional love to my hurtful memories and sinful choices. With each new moment and every new choice, I can start clean and live in freedom.

Imagine adults when the disciples were preaching and baptizing. They came to baptism not really knowing who they were, with pasts that were broken, seeking to live the joy of the Gospel they heard spoken to them and wanting the love they saw witnessed in the lives of those who believed. What tremendous celebrations their baptisms must have been! They could now have the support of a community, full participation in the sacraments of the church, focus for their disordered lives, consolation, healing, and an understanding of what life is really all about.

Our lives are meant to be celebrations of the Spirit we have received in Baptism. How does that joy get expressed in and through you? When we truly understand that we have put on Christ, our burdens can become much lighter. It is odd that so many Christians look like they are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if those weights could be lifted and joy experienced!

REOPENING OF CHURCHES FOR WEEKEND MASSES IN THE

ARCHDIOCESE OF HARTFORD

As of Saturday, July 4, 2020, parishes can reopen for the

public celebration of weekend Masses, provided that no

more than a total of 100 socially distanced persons are

present at a given Mass in keeping with the limitation

currently set by the State of Connecticut. All previously set

requirements for weekday Masses will still be observed during

weekend Masses. This includes the wearing of masks while in

church and the limitation on singing, which may be done by a

cantor but will not include participation by the congregation.

In an effort to maintain no more than 100 people at each

Mass, you will need to call the rectory during office hours to

register for Mass. Holy Family Church office hours are

Monday through Friday, from 9 am to 4 pm and St. Bernard

Church office hours are Monday through Thursday from

9 am to 3 pm and Fridays from 9 am to noon.

The dispensation from the Sunday obligation granted to all

Catholics of the Archdiocese of Hartford by Archbishop

Leonard P. Blair has been extended through Sunday,

September 6. The elderly, the sick, those who care for

someone who is vulnerable, or those who are fearful or

anxious are encouraged not to attend or feel obligated to

attend at this time.

Live-streamed Masses, both daily and weekend, will continue

on our website (sjjenfield.org) so that those who cannot

attend will be able to participate and remain connected with

the parish.

If you decide to attend Mass, please be charitable by

protecting others and yourself. Please read and follow the

guidelines below.

• If you or someone in your household is ill, especially

with fever or flu-like symptoms or conjunctivitis, please

do not enter the church.

• At all times, including entering and exiting the church,

practice social distancing by staying at least 6 feet from

people who do not live in your household.

• You must wear a face mask or cloth face covering.

• Do not shake hands with others.

• Use hand sanitizers.

• Do not congregate to socialize before or after Mass.

AS WE WELCOME YOU BACK AND RESUME

PUBLIC LITURGIES TOGETHER,

PLEASE TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO STAY SAFE.

2020 ARCHBISHOP’S ANNUAL APPEAL As we are all trying to navigate a new sense of normal during the Coronavirus pandemic we would like to THANK the more than 30,600 generous donors that have pledged over $7,800,000 to the 2020 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, Growing in Faith, Giving in Love.

All funds contributed to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal are used exclusively for the purposes outlined in the Appeal literature, which can be found at https://archdioceseofhartford.org/appeal/.

No Appeal funds are ever used for legal fees or settlements.

As our churches were closed for Masses and Funerals during the COVID-19 pandemic,

we would like to remember in our prayers the following parishioners who were

welcomed home into the loving arms of God our Father.

May they rest in peace.

DAILY MASS READINGS

At St. Bernard Church, there are no intentions noted this week for the chapel and sanctuary candles.

Contact the St. Bernard Church office for information about having the chapel or sanctuary candles burn for your intention.

Sometimes marriages need a little massage and not a full override. The Office of Family Life is happy to offer marriage enrichment programs that do just that—massage your working marriage. The Office of Family Life offers a Marriage Enrichment retreat, Marriage Encounter, and Retrouvaille retreat.

• The Marriage Enrichment retreat is a one-day retreat for married couples. During this one-day retreat, married couples will be given ideas on how to edify their marriage using Dr. Gottman’s, “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.”

• Marriage Encounter is a weekend retreat freeing married couples from distractions so they focus on their marriage. Marriage Encounter is considered the first marriage enrichment program offered to married couples originally presented in Barcelona by Fr. Gabriel Calvo in 1962. The decades of trial and error has made Marriage Encounter the premiere Catholic couples retreat worldwide.

• Retrouvaille is for couples considering separation, separated, or divorced wanting to repair their marriage by reviving their relationship. Retrouvaille is a three-phase program with each phase offering opportunities to heal your marriage.

To learn more about any of these marriage enrichment programs, contact 860-242-5573 or [email protected].

Marriage Enrichment Offered by the Office of Family Life

JESUS’ REFRESHING LOVE “Come to me all you who are weary and find life burdensome and I will refresh you. Take my yoke upon you for my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” Pray for priests, brothers, sisters, and for all who offer their lives to be a sign of Jesus’ refreshing love. If you are called to join them, Contact Fr. Michael Casey, Director of Vocations, Pastoral Center, at 860-761-7456, by e-mailing [email protected], or visit the web at www.hartfordpriest.com.

BEWARE OF SCAMS

Some parishes have noted an increase in scam

attempts directed toward their parishioners. In

these scams, a call, text, or email is sent appearing to

come from the priest and requesting that the

individual send money to a certain location/account

or purchase gift cards whose serial numbers are

then forwarded along to the “priest.” Often, the

phone number or email address used appears as if

it might be coming from the priest but is, in fact,

fake. Please know that our parish would NOT

request donations in this way and that any offerings

to the parish should be made only through the

parish website, online giving page, parish office,

mailed-in envelopes, or other official channels

utilized by our parish.
