| The Sign of Christ
News from the Catholic Deaf Community Diocese
of Syracuse Vol. 19 No.3 - Sep - Oct - Nov 2008 |
2000
years ago, 8AD, St Paul was born.
Pope Benedict XVI has
declared this year a special time. We can take time and really study
what St Paul teaches.
We
have many of his letters. They are found in the Bible in the
New
Testament: Romans , Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians,
Colossians, Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus and Philemon. We
read
them at Mass.
Paul was a
Pharisee. Saul was his
Jewish name. His job was tentmaking. First he
arrested
Christians. Then Christ appeared to him and changed his
heart. He traveled far and wide teaching the Gospel and
bringing
many people into the church.
Above is the logo for
the Year of St Paul:
The CHAIN helps us to remember
that St Paul was in prison.
The SWORD shows us he was martyred
(killed because he was a Christian). He was beheaded.
The BOOK
symbolizes the epistles (letters) St Paul wrote.
The CROSS is
for Christ. Paul said,”We preach a Christ crucified.”
The
TONGUE of FLAMES represents the Holy Spirit.
The 2008-2009 are
the dates of the Pauline Year.
The
29 VI represents June 29th, the ending of the Pauline Year. (VI is the
Roman numeral for 6. June is the 6th month of the year.)
| Love
is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. St Paul, I Corinthians 13 |

THIS
& THAT Summer
is now a memory. I hope a nice
one.Jane Long gave our annual presentation on the Catholic Deaf Community at her home parish of St James in Johnson City. They gave very generously. Thank you, Jane and St James! From
our diocese’s newest priest: “Dear brothers & sisters in Christ, Thank you for your prayers, support and gift. May God continue to bless your Community! Thank you for thinking of me on this joyous occasion. Take care & God bless, Father Christopher Celentano” Please pray for Matthew Chmiel, nephew of Rachael Chmiel. He’s been sick this summer. Fr Tom Coughlin made surprise visits to our diocese at St James, Johnson City, and Christ the King, Liverpool. Many were able to attend his Masses. A Mass in our language is so important! Any questions or comments on anything? I’d be happy to get them! syrdeaf@juno.com |
 Rest in Peace: Alice
Johns, mother of Tom Johns |
