Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord, Welcome!!

I rejoice in your presence with the Sacred Heart worshiping community as we celebrate our Eucharistic Liturgy for the 13

th

Sunday in Ordinary Time. You bless us through your prayerful participation. May the words of

Sacred Scripture enlighten your mind and the Bread of Life nourish your faith. Thanks for joining us! In today’s First Reading from the Book of Kings, Elijah is sent by the Lord to anoint Elisha “as prophet to succeed” him. This call to prophetic ministry is expressed in Elijah throwing his cloak over Elisha. The total commitment of Elisha to the Lord’s invitation to be his prophet is seen in “taking the yoke of oxen” and boiling their flesh for food given “to his people to eat.” Elisha leaves all behind as he commits himself to being the Lord’s prophet. Paul implies a similar commitment is asked of the Galatians. Paul views sin as the “yoke of slavery.” In Christ, we can stand firm in our commitment to “live by the Spirit.” Paul seeks faithfulness to the commitment the Galatians have made to Christ. In today’s Gospel, someone comes up to Jesus and says, “I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus says to another, “Follow me.” Someone else says, “I will follow you, Lord.” They all seem to hesitate in their commitment to follow Jesus, with good reason. For a commitment to Christ brings “nowhere to rest” and leaving behind one’s former life. One’s commitment to Christ comes with obstacles to overcome. One of those obstacles is our tendency to be self-centered, putting ourselves first and failing to let go of sin. May the Risen Lord grace us with a firm commitment to our Baptism in Christ and the promises we have made in life.

Peace be with you! God bless,

Fr. McKee

Your Generosity is a Blessing to Many!

Who are the hungry? Many people think of the hungry as being homeless or unemployed, but that’s a gross misconception. In reality, most of those we serve have jobs; 60 percent of those facing hunger are considered “working poor” — adults who have at least one job, maybe two, but are having a hard time making ends meet. For some facing hunger, food assistance is temporary, needed during a significant life event such as a change in health, a family hardship, or a job loss. For others, like seniors, it helps fill an ongoing monthly gap because Social Security isn’t enough. For some kids, it’s a fact of life
