Te Carnival by the Sea
Foreword
is a Catholic Refection on F. Scott Fitzgerald, Long Island, and the 100th Anniversary of the Publication of Te Great Gatsby written by Father Brandon O’Brien, J.C.L. with Foreward below by Bishop John O. Barres, S.T.D.,
J.C.L., D.D.
The history of American literature reflects the history of our country and so many dimensions of the development of thought and philosophy, historical events and conflicts, and a desire to create a distinctive identity apart from Europe.
Think of some key American literary luminaries: Benjamin Franklin, Washington Irving, James Fenimore Cooper, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Walt Whitman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain, Henry James, Edith Wharton, Stephen Crane, Robert Frost, T.S. Eliot, F. Scott Fitzgerald (who chronicled the North Shore Long Island experience in the 1920s), Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, Wallace Stevens, Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams, and Toni Morrison. Each of these names brings to mind a wide range of themes, characters, plots, poetry, images and history that reflect the American experience.
The writers – be they novelists, poets, playwrights or screen writers – influence each other and build upon one another. For instance, Herman Melville says his own contributions to American literature were grounded not only in his careful reading of William Shakespeare but also in his careful reading of the novels and literary technique of Nathaniel Hawthorne.
In his essay Tradition and the Individual Talent, T.S. Eliot insists that fine poets of the present absorb in depth the contribution of the poets that went before them. Only because they have absorbed the classics can they make their own unique contribution to poetry.
Just as we traced the luminaries and the mutual influences in our American literature, we can also trace the luminaries and the mutual influences in our classic Catholic spiritual literature.
The Evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, St. Paul the Apostle, St. Ignatius of Antioch and the Patristic and Eastern Fathers, St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, St. Benedict, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. John Henry Newman, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross and so many, many others – each one builds on those who went before them and provides a foundation stone for those who come after them in their life, their theology, their mysticism and their writings.
Daily spiritual reading from both the classic works of Catholic mysticism and spirituality and contemporary works that show how Catholic spirituality can be lived effectively in the modern world is critical to our spiritual growth.
It is the kindling that focuses and sharpens our mental prayer. The classic texts of Catholic mystics such as St. Ambrose, St. John Chrysostom, St. Augustine, St. Thomas, and the women Doctors of the Church, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Catherine of Siena and St. Therese of Lisieux, are concrete expressions of these saints interceding at the throne of God for our spiritual progress and our individual call to holiness and mission.
When this spiritual reading is done faithfully each day, reinforcing and complementing our lectio divina of the Scriptures, it is amazing how over the course of ten, twenty, fifty years how many fine works can be prayed over and applied practically in a person’s life.
Spiritual reading must be done slowly and meditatively. We should see the reading through the lens of both the literary critic and the spiritual theologian.
The literary critic analyzes imagery, symbol, structure, rhetoric, style, and historical setting.
The spiritual theologian analyzes how the work is situated in the history of the Church’s spiritual literature and its influence historically and in the present as well as an understanding of how the saint’s reflection on their prayer experience is related to the Church’s theology of the Trinity, ecclesiology, theology of grace, sacramental theology and anthropology.
This is precisely what Father Brandon O’Brien does in his “The Carnival by the Sea: A Catholic Reflection on F. Scott Fitzgerald, Long Island, and the 100th Anniversary of the Publication of The Great Gatsby.”
He is not analyzing a classic work of Catholic spiritual literature.
He is analyzing one of the most well-known and read American novels.
Father O’Brien masterfully applies the dual perspective of the Catholic literary critic with the Catholic spiritual theologian in his analysis of the life and works (as well as the film and dramatic adaptations of those works) of F. Scott Fitzgerald.
In his 1999 “Letter to Artists,” Pope St. John Paul II emphasized the connection between art and evangelization.
More recently, in a 2024 “Letter of the Holy Father on the Role of Literature in Formation,” Pope Francis described the value that literature provides to its readers: “A literary work is thus a living and ever-fruitful text, always capable of speaking in different ways and producing an original synthesis on the part of each of its readers. In our reading, we are enriched by what we receive from the author and this allows us in turn to grow inwardly, so that each new work we read will renew and expand our worldview.” In this way, any Catholic who reads The 1 Great Gatsby will approach this novel (and any other novel that they read) informed by their Catholic faith and experience. Pope Francis concluded that literature, like any art that is good and true, reflects the Divine and opens us to the Word of God: “Literature can greatly stimulate the free and humble exercise of our use of reason, a fruitful recognition of the variety of human languages, a broadening of our human sensibilities, and finally, a great spiritual openness to hearing the Voice that speaks through many voices.”2
It is my hope that Father O’Brien’s analysis, which represents the Catholic Church’s vibrant and compelling 21st Century encounter with American history and American literature, inspires conversation and reflection that enriches, uplifts, teaches and evangelizes on Long Island and well beyond.

Religious Education
It was wonderful to have Fr. Anthony Saliba visit religious education classes this week. His teaching centered on the third Person of the Holy Trinity. Students were reminded that the Holy Spirit is not a bird that futters into view from time to time, or a cloud hovering in the sky. In 2008, Pope Benedict XVI even said, “Te Holy Spirit has been in some ways the least understood of the Blessed Trinity.”
Fr. Anthony beautifully shared that the Holy Spirit is a distinct Person of the Holy Trinity, the eternal love and holy unity between God the Father and God the Son. In the Catholic faith journey, we must always remember Jesus’ promise to send the Holy Spirit. According to the Gospel of St. John, Jesus tells the apostles “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. For He lives with you, and will be in you” (Jn. 14:16).
It was a blessing to listen to Fr. Anthony’s spiritual teaching on the frst day of Monday evening classes. We are always grateful to St. Mary Catechists. Tey are “seed” planters who may not get to see the blessed fruits(s) of their work. Upon seeing their faces present in eight diferent classrooms, I could see the joy truly present in the planting!
Blessings, Mrs. Granieri

Why Respect Life?
Te prophetic papal encyclical Evangelium vitae (Te Gospel of Life) was written by Pope St. John Paul II in 1995 to reafrm the value and inviolability of every human life and to appeal to all people to respect, protect, love, and serve every human life. In 2020, the USCCB summarized this document in Te Gospel of Life: A Brief Summary. From the opening of that document...
Te Gospel of Life is at the heart of Jesus’ saving message to the world. Trough the Incarnation and birth of Christ, God reveals to us the dignity of all human life. Human life, as a gift of God, is sacred and inviolable. Te Son of God has united himself with every human being and desires for us to share eternal life with him.
For this reason, direct attacks on human life, such as abortion and euthanasia, are always unacceptable. Yet, sadly we see new and expanding threats to human life emerging on an alarming scale. Tese new threats to life are often justifed, protected, and even promoted by our laws and culture. Not only must human life not be taken, but it must be protected with loving concern. Each of us is made in the image and likeness of God, and we refect his glory in the world.
A volunteer at Birthright of Nassau-Sufolk gratefully accepts the donations from St. Mary’s Mom & Baby Shower. Additional donations were made to Women First Pregnancy Options/ Te Life Center of Long Island.

THE SCHOOLS OF ST. MARY
Bishop Barres Makes Pastoral Visit and Celebrates Mass with Students
On Wednesday, October 3, 2024, during his pastoral visit to campus, Saint Mary’s Elementary and Middle Schools were blessed by the opportunity to attend Mass celebrated by Most Reverend John O. Barres, Bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre.
Fr. Matthew Browne, who serves as the director of the Office of Evangelization and Catechesis for the Diocese, along with Fr. Bob and Fr. Anthony, concelebrated the 9:00 AM Daily Mass in the sacred space of the Church of Saint Mary. It was a Mass led by our own students, who served as lectors and cantors, guiding the school community and congregants in prayer and song. Bishop Barres delivered a powerful message, leaving all inspired and motivated. He covered several topics, including the Catholic Church Family Calendar, the sacraments, angels, and Saints. He asked the children to reflect on their futures, consider being open to the call of Jesus, and discern a vocation, whether it be a priest, sister, or entering Holy Matrimony.
Thank you, Bishop Barres, for your beautiful, relevant homily and presence at St. Mary’s. It was a special morning for all ages!
Second Collection Next Sunday
World Mission Sunday is not just another Sunday; it is a powerful reminder of our call to be missionaries. Te collection taken up on this day is unique as it is mandated by the Code of Canon Law and is essential for the survival and growth of the Church in mission territories.
Tese funds support the pastoral and evangelizing work of the Church, including building churches, providing healthcare and education, and training future priests and religious. In places where resources are scarce, your generosity makes a profound diference. As we refect on the theme “Go and invite everyone to the banquet,” let us remember that our participation and support help invite countless souls to the feast of God’s love.
