Bulletin-Mar 31, 13 - Sacred Heart Parish
Dear Parishioners, Reflection for this weekend: Happy Easter!! He is risen!! Alleluia!! This day is the greatest of all days for Christians. After 2000 years, it comes as no surprise to us. We have been preparing for it throughout the Lenten season. And, yet the message is no less powerful and even shocking. As the Gospel reading for the Easter Vigil tells us “At daybreak on the first day of the week the women … found the stone rolled away from the tomb; but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.” They did find out from two angels, and multiple appearances of the Risen Lord that Jesus did in fact raise from the dead. It was not easy for many of His followers to believe at first. It seems it is still not easy for our world to believe. If the world knew and believed this message and all that it means for humanity, it would be a much different place. And so, we know our task as disciples of Christ Jesus. As our recent popes have been telling us, now is a time for a new evangelization. Our world seems to have fallen to secularism, relativism, and many other isms of our time. None of these can bring humanity lasting help, happiness, or eternal salvation. God is calling on us remaining practicing Catholic Christians to re-evangelize the world with the message of God’s love, presence, and salvation in our Risen Lord Jesus Christ. We start by re-evangelizing ourselves. Celebrate the amazing life-changing truth of Easter. Let it sink in. Contemplate what our life would be like without any promise of anything beyond the grave. What would life be like without hope? Sadly, too many people in the world live like this today. Risen Lord Jesus, please increase our Faith, Hope, and Charity that we may help bring the message of God’s love to the world. Rest in Peace Divine Mercy Sunday: We extend our sympathy to the Divine Mercy Sunday is celebrated on the Sunday after Easter, the family & friends of Octave of Easter.

Mike Stanfield and Laura Tays from Sacred Heart Parish journeyed with Molly Myracle, Keri Gorman, Nicole Iatropoulus, and Kurt Strullmyer from St. Anthony Parish over several months of learning and understanding how God is calling each of them to new life. Like each of us, it is a journey where along the way we continue to learn, we continue to understand, we struggle, and we celebrate all the blessings God presents. These new members of our parish will now enjoy a period of “mystagogy”…… that is a time of reflection, more learning, and continued understanding of what they have started. Please continue to pray for each of them and their families. Make them feel welcome, and invite them to join with you in the ministries you share with the parish.
