Sacred Heart Catholic Church Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time –July 8, 2018

Reflection from the Stewardship Office:

"Who are You Following?"

Faith takes the center stage for a second week in a row! In the reading from

Ezekiel, we learn that the Israelites were hard of heart and literally needed to

be saved from themselves. In the Gospel we hear that Jesus' own family and

friends were in the same sad situation. They knew who He was, and yet they

questioned Him! To be a true steward it requires more than mere knowledge

of who Jesus is! It requires focused effort and constant conversion of

heart. It requires prayer and a personal relationship with Jesus. Only then

will your faith be great enough to allow the miraculous healing Jesus is

capable of. Do not allow your discipleship to grow stale. Instead, make

every effort to open your heart and allow your faith to flourish!

PARISH NEWS

Fr. Reilley will be on retreat from Thursday, July 5th –

Friday, July 13th. We will not have morning Mass

Monday – Friday, July 9th – 13th.

Fr. Reilley will be holding a summer class on the

Mass/Eucharist from Tuesday, July 17th - Friday, July

20th from 6 to 7 pm in the cafeteria. We’ll be looking at

Bishop Robert Barron’s new series on the Mass.

Walk through the Liturgy with Bishop Barron and be

transformed through insights on this most privileged

and intimate encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ.

See how the Mass brings us out of the fallen world and

into the heavenly realm, how it resonates with a call

from God and a response from his people, the Church,

and, most importantly, how we are intimately joined

with the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus

through the Holy Eucharist.

The Mass will help you understand how to fully,

consciously, and actively participate in the source and

summit of the Christian life.

St. Vincent de Paul "The purpose of human life is to serve, and to

show compassion and the will to help others."

- Albert Schweitzer

Please consider getting involved with The Society of St.

Vincent de Paul and join us at our next meeting which will

be July 12th at 6:00 pm in the school cafeteria.

“A Quien estas Siguiendo”

La Fe toma el lugar central por segunda semana consecutiva. En la lectura de Ezequiel, aprendimos que los

Israelitas eran duros de corazón y necesitaban literalmente ser salvados de ellos mismos. En el Evangelio,

escuchamos que la propia familia y los amigos de Jesús estaban en la misma situación. Ellos sabían quién era El

y aun así, Lo cuestionaban. Para poder ser un auténtico practicante del Stewardship, se requiere más que el

conocimiento de quien es Jesús; se requiere un esfuerzo y enfoque en una constante conversión del

Corazón. Requiere oración y una relación personal con Jesús. Solo así, tu fe será tal que dejara que la sanación

milagrosa que solo Jesús ofrece. No dejen que su discipulado crezca débil; al contrario, ¡hagan cualquier

esfuerzo necesario de abrir su Corazón y dejar que su fe florezca!
