FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
This weekend, as we celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi, our parish is joining the Diocesan Annual Corpus
Christi Food Drive. Saint Rose is being asked to collect canned beans (pinto, black, white) and/or deodorant to
help keep the shelves full over the summer months at Catholic Charities food pantries in Passaic, Morris and
Sussex Counties. We may also donate any other non-perishable foods. To make the food drop-off convenient,
we will have the parish truck in the church parking lot beginning Friday afternoon, June 17th until Monday morn-
ing, June 20th.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted those living in poverty the most and Catholic Charities, Diocese of Pater-
son’s 3 Food Pantries (Father English Center, Paterson; Hope House, Dover; and Partnership for Social Services,
Franklin) are giving out more food than ever before.
Most months, Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson gives out food to 5,000 - 7,000 people at their 3 food
pantries. Through COVID-19 this number has more than quadrupled, with our pantries assisting 20,000 children,
women and men monthly! In November of 2021, we gave out food to nearly 29,000 individuals!
Thank you for your continued support of Catholic Charities and our brothers and sisters in need. Also, thank
you for your regular support of our parish food pantry, and a special thank you to Joanne Caronia who runs it.
It has been a year since Bishops of New Jersey made the
decision to lift the Covid-19 dispensation of the Sunday
obligation. Many of our parishioners returned to Sunday
Mass in-person since the Feast of Corpus Christi 2021.
The Feast of Corpus Christi reminds us of the gift that
Jesus gives to us when we receive His Body and Blood
in Holy Communion and of our need for that spiritual
nourishment. We are more fully the “Body of Christ” when
we all gather around the table of the Lord. Those of our
parish family who do not attend Sunday Mass are greatly
“missed”. If you are among those who have already
“come back” to Mass, please invite family, friends, and
others to “come back”.
“Every year the feast of Corpus Christi invites us to renew the wonder and joy
for this wonderful gift of the Lord, which is The Eucharist.” Pope Francis
Those who still do not leave their home because of health concerns, can watch our masses online and receive
Holy Communion in their cars in our parking lot every Sunday at around 1.05 pm, after the 12.15 pm mass. I would
like to thank Deacon Ron, Deacon Alfredo, and Bill Wahlers who have been helping with the distribution of Holy
Communion every Sunday in the parking lot.
Yours in Christ,
Fr Matthew

IS THERE ONLY ONE REAL PRESENCE?
A few weeks ago, members of the finance council were surveying
the needs of our parish facilities. As we entered the church itself
something odd happened, something that used to occur when I
was a seminarian giving tours of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. I was
speaking, pointing out features—in this case, things in need of re-
pair. Crossing the threshold of the church, I lost the attention of
my companions. They were staring into space, gawking not at the
glory of St. Peter’s Basilica but, wistfully, at the walls of their own
parish church.
I love Saint Joseph’s, but it is no St. Peter’s. I could claim that
it is the loveliest church in central Kansas, but the state is full
of such treasures, testaments to the faith of a different era.
So, how did I lose my listeners? They were gazing in silent
awe because they were home again, because they were
standing in a spot whose very stones they love. Everyone
concurred when a couple of members said, “I haven’t been
in here for weeks” and “I didn’t realize how much I missed it.”
The feeling that came over my companions was something
like seeing, after years of absence, the inside of the home
where you grew up or the house where your grandparents
once lived. It is not that the space is sacred, at least not in the
first blush of that word.
It is that the space is you. You are like an animal seeing its own carapace. This was once your shell. The place that
protected you. Your home.

The Feast of Corpus Christi was created in the 13th century to reverence the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. In
the 21st century, this time of virus has revealed an imbalance in our understanding as Catholics. We seem convinced
that holy Communion is the most precious of sacred objects, even if most Catholics are normally content to receive
it the relatively few times a year that they come to Mass.
The problem is that we have reduced the Mass itself into something that exists only to create the Eucharist. Some
Catholic leaders are now even urging, “Let’s have Mass as quickly and as often as possible to get Communion to
the faithful.”
If “concept feasts” were the answer—feast days drawn not from the lives of Christ and his saints but from doctrines
like the Holy Trinity or Divine Mercy—then maybe we need four more of them because there are “real presences”
that we are scanting, if not, perhaps, even scorning.
“Sacrosanctum Concilium,” the Second Vatican Council’s Document on the Divine Liturgy, teaches five ways in
which the Lord Jesus is present to us in the Eucharist. Remember that the word “Eucharist” refers both to the meal
and to the food received.
To accomplish so great a work, Christ is always present in His Church, especially in her liturgical
celebrations. He is present in the sacrifice of the Mass, not only in the person of His minister, “the same
now offering, through the ministry of priests, who formerly offered himself on the cross,” but especially
under the Eucharistic species. By His power He is present in the sacraments, so that when a man baptizes
it is really Christ Himself who baptizes. He is present in His word, since it is He Himself who speaks when
the holy scriptures are read in the Church. He is present, lastly, when the Church prays and sings, for He
promised: “Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them (Matt.
18:20)” (No. 7, emphasis added).

Maybe we still need Corpus Christi to remind us of Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist: Not all of the council mem-
bers took a knee when we came into the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, as we insist that our students do. Yet
all recognized that they had entered a holy place, a place like home, a spot made sacred in five ways, not just one.
As those who believe that God took flesh in Christ, we do not have a liturgy that stands above the weaknesses to
which our flesh is heir. But this is our faith; it is not a cause for shame. The shame would be reducing a meal to the
food received, either in a family or in the church. Either way, a home is lost.

SACRED HEART OF JESUS
In 1675, Jesus told St Margaret Mary that He wanted the Feast of the
Sacred Heart to be celebrated on the Friday after the Corpus Christi
octave. In 1856, the Feast of the Sacred Heart became a universal
feast.
St John Paul II, a great devotee of The Sacred Heart, said, “This
feast reminds us of the mystery of the love of God for the people
of all times.”
12 Promises of the Sacred Heart
(1) “I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
