Read MoreA reading from the Book of Deuteronomy
30:15-20
Moses said to the people:
“Today I have set before you
life and prosperity, death and doom.
If you obey the commandments of the LORD, your God,
which I enjoin on you today,
loving him, and walking in his ways,
and keeping his commandments, statutes and decrees,
you will live and grow numerous,
and the LORD, your God,
will bless you in the land you are entering to occupy.
If, however, you turn away your hearts and will not listen,
but are led astray and adore and serve other gods,
I tell you now that you will certainly perish;
you will not have a long life
on the land that you are crossing the Jordan to enter and occupy.
I call heaven and earth today to witness against you:
I have set before you life and death,
the blessing and the curse.
Choose life, then,
that you and your descendants may live, by loving the LORD, your God,
heeding his voice, and holding fast to him.
For that will mean life for you,
a long life for you to live on the land that the LORD swore
he would give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”
From the Gospel according to Luke
9:22-25
Jesus said to his disciples:
“The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected
by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be killed and on the third day be raised.”
Then he said to all,
“If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself
and take up his cross daily and follow me.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
What profit is there for one to gain the whole world
yet lose or forfeit himself?”
Jesus (…) indicates the way of the true disciple, showing two attitudes. The first is “to renounce oneself” (…). The other attitude is that of taking up one’s own cross. It is not just a matter of patiently enduring daily tribulations, but of bearing with faith and responsibility that part of toil, and that part of suffering that the struggle against evil entails. The life of Christians is always a struggle. The Bible says that the life of Christians is a military undertaking: fighting against the evil spirit, fighting against Evil.
Thus the task of “taking up the cross” becomes participating with Christ in the salvation of the world. Considering this, let us make sure that the cross hanging on the wall at home, or that little one that we wear around our neck, is a sign of our wish to be united with Christ in lovingly serving our brothers and sisters, especially the littlest and most fragile. The cross is the holy sign of God’s Love, it is a sign of Jesus’ Sacrifice, and is not to be reduced to a superstitious object or an ornamental necklace. Each time we fix our gaze on the image of Christ crucified, let us contemplate that he, as the true Servant of the Lord, has accomplished his mission, giving life, spilling his blood for the pardoning of sins. (Pope Francis, Angelus, 30 August 2020)

More than 50 members, their families and alumni gathered for an evening dedicated to faith, fellowship, and giving back to the community led by faculty members Elisa Wares, Sandra Tampol and Michele Hancewicz.
Throughout the evening, students and their families worked on service projects to benefit local organizations. The group prepared 114 pans of baked ziti for the Father English Community Center in Paterson, N.J., helping to provide warm meals to individuals and families in need.
In addition, 100 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were assembled for Angels on the Ground, an organization that serves the homeless population of Newark, N.J. Volunteers also prepared personal care kits and snack bags to further support the individuals served by Angels on the Ground.

Spreading Valentine’s Day cheer, students created festive treat bags for women and children that will be distributed through the New Hope Food Pantry. Placemats were designed for the retired Sisters of Mary Help, bringing both color and encouragement to their dining tables. In addition, hand-made bookmarks were created for senior citizens of the Oakland Public Library, offering a small but meaningful token of kindness.
The evening was an example of faith in action as families came together to serve others with generosity and compassion. Through their efforts, the Service Club once again demonstrated the power of community, kindness, and living out the call to serve.

Assumption school eighth-grader in urgent need of kidney #Catholic – 
A Morristown, N.J., family is desperately seeking a living kidney donor for their son, an eighth-grade student at Assumption School. Thaddeus Giansanti was born with kidney disease and has undergone multiple surgeries including one to remove a non-functioning kidney when he was an infant.
Parents Christa and Carlo are turning to the community for help to find a living donor for their son. Neither parent is a match for the 13-year-old who is now faced with a single declining kidney and is in urgent need of a transplant. According to his doctors, if Thaddeus does not receive a kidney transplant within a couple of weeks, he will need to be put on dialysis.
A donor needs to be in good health, under 45 years old, have a BMI under 30, and have blood type O. If you are able to consider this, please use the links below.
