"Stop worrying, then, over questions like "What are we to eat, or what are we to drink, or what are we to wear?" Jesus says. "Your heavenly Father knows all that you need. Seek first His Kingship over you, His way of holiness, and all there things will be given you besides" (Mt 6:31-33). Jesus wants us to "turn on" to the goodness of God. His warning, "you cannot"

The key to the Kingdom is knowing even in life's darkest moments God will not abandon us; that God is one-hundred-per-cent absolutely trustworthy; that however painful life may become, we can be totally confident in the goodness of God to prevail.

Nevaeh?

Ever know anyone named Nevaeh? This increasingly popular name is "Heaven spelled backward.

Nevaeh is a recent invention, appearing suddenly in 1999. That year there were eight baby Nevaehs born in the United States. The next year, there were 86. Now the name is in the top 50 most popular baby girl names. Parents select Nevaeh because it has meaning, uniqueness and star-connection.

Names during biblical times carried not just meaning but hoped-for-destiny. While the name 'Jesus' was as common in that day as Michael, John or David are today, its meaning was entirely uncommon for him. Jesus literally means' salvation' or 'the Lord saves.'

No matter your given name, take pride in your label as a Christian. That name shows your true meaning and destiny.

Promise yourself to worry less and pray more, to doubt less and trust more.

Perhaps You May Help a Sister Parish

The old saying is true: "one man's junk is another man's treasure". With the economy as it is according to a segment on the evening news, people are flocking to flea markets and garage sales. Our sister Parish, Holy Spirit, Mahwah, will soon hold such a sale. Your odds and ends would be a blessing to a Parish which needs support. Please bring your items to Chapel or to Church (please use lower glass doors by Rectory entrance). Thanks for any assistance which you may share!

To All The Graduates of Our Parish!

Congratulations on your achievement! Now, as you stand at the helm, outward bound, you do so with your eyes fixed on the compass and stars with the help and blessing of the Good Lord to guide you on the course which lies ahead. There are a thousand paths open to you which have never been trodden. Take one step at a time. God be with you on your journey of life!
