Lk 6, 27-38
Jesus said to his disciples:
“To you who hear I say,
love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
To the person who strikes you on one cheek,
offer the other one as well,
and from the person who takes your cloak,
do not withhold even your tunic.
Give to everyone who asks of you,
and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
For if you love those who love you,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners love those who love them.
And if you do good to those who do good to you,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners do the same.
If you lend money to those from whom you expect repayment,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners lend to sinners,
and get back the same amount.
But rather, love your enemies and do good to them,
and lend expecting nothing back;
then your reward will be great
and you will be children of the Most High,
for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
“Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give, and gifts will be given to you;
a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
will be poured into your lap.
For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you.”
Father Stan is once again the target of an email scam. Someone pretending to be Father Stan has been emailing parishioners requesting they buy gift cards for him. If you receive an email or text with such a request, DO NOT RESPOND. The message is NOT coming from Father Stan. Please contact the parish office if you receive any such email or text request.

Each Tuesday Weekly adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Weekly adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will be held EACH Tuesday immediately following the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Devotions from noon to 9:00 p.m. beginning November 9. To ensure that there is always someone in attendance during the entire time, we are asking for 7 volunteers to commit to be present for a specific one-hour segment EACH TUESDAY OF NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. Since the Blessed Sacrament cannot be left unattended, each one-hour attendant will be responsible to be present at their selected time or secure a replacement. You can select the hour of your choice on the signup sheet in the church vestibule or call the parish office at 908-725-0072.

Antoni Niecikowski, passed away on December 27, 2024.
The wake will be held at Ketusky Funeral Home, 1310 Brooks Blvd., Manville, NJ 08835, on Friday, January 3, 2025 from 4 to 8 PM. The funeral will be on Saturday, January 4, 2025 8:00 AM from the Ketusky Funeral Home followed by a 9:00 AM Mass at Christ the Redeemer Parish (Sacred Heart Church), followed by burial at Sacred Heart Cemetery.
In the face of death, the Church confidently proclaims that God has created each person for eternal life and that Jesus, by his death and resurrection, has destroyed death forever.
Christians celebrate the funeral rites to offer worship, praise and thanksgiving to God for the gift of life which has now been returned to God, the author of life. We pray for the person who has died - asking for the forgiveness of sin and the gift of everlasting life.
To make arrangements for a funeral liturgy, please contact the parish office at 908-725-0072
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CHRIST THE REDEEMER PARISH via our ONLINE MEMORIAL DONATIONS system.
