FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Dear Sacred
Heart
Parishioners:
The Iowa State
Fair ends today
and school starts
this week so I
guess that means
summer is over! I hope everyone
had a great summer. Even
though summer seems to be
ending all too soon we at Sacred
Heart Parish are not quite ready
to let go of summer, at least not
until we have one more summer
party, our PARISH FEST! Next
Saturday August 27th after the
4:00 PM Mass we will be having
our annual parish picnic. I hope
to see everyone at the
celebration next Saturday night!
Peace,
AUGUST 21, 2016

Pastoral
Care
Last week’s bulletin introduced The Healing Power of Forgiveness by Ty Bollinger of the Mayo Clinic. It is a lengthy article, so I broke it into
three parts. This week’s section is part 2. I hope it is helpful for all of you.
This is the essence of forgiveness: extending grace to others and letting go of the ways in which they’ve harmed you, in order to foster
reconciliation and peace.
In Lewis’ case, forgiveness came a lot easier because Wallace was no longer his old self, having had his eyes opened to the fact that his former
wrongs needed to be made right. But even if Wallace hadn’t experienced this dramatic life change, forgiveness still would have been in the best
interest of Lewis. Not only for his conscience’s sake, but also for his own peace of mind.
Holding Grudges Eats Away at You.
The fact of the matter is that forgiveness is a two-way street. It has the power to heal the forgiver just as much as the one being forgiven −
something that many of us often forget. Holding onto grudges and bottling up negative emotions that stem from past grievances only makes the
situation worse for the one who was wounded in the first place. In the end, it eats away at you emotionally and physically.
In order to find release and move forward from past wounds, it’s absolutely vital to learn how to forgive those who’ve harmed you and let it go. The
Bible describes this process as “turning the other cheek,” which involves not only treating others how you wish to be treated (even when they treat
you wrongly!), but also recognizing that we’re all flawed and in need of forgiveness.
In a practical sense, it’s mastering the art of letting go. Whether it be letting go of anger, resentment, bitterness, or a feeling of needing to “get
even” with someone for hurting or betraying you. When you fail to forgive, you end up hurting yourself more than the person who hurt you.
But when you embrace forgiveness, you release all the pain, distress, and baggage that, if left unchecked, interferes with your emotional,
spiritual, and even physical wellbeing.
Just a reminder Sacred Heart Knights of Columbus and the Pastoral Care Ministry Office is presenting a workshop, entitled “Life is Like a Piano:
Playing Tunes to Change Your Life” an evening with Sal Salgado on Sept. 27, 2016 from 7:00 – 9:00. The workshop will offer strategies to live life
to the max as God intended of us to live. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. More information to follow in the weeks ahead.

Jesus tells us that being His disciple will be very

the way that we are to live our lives, what is the
hardest thing for you to do? Why?
As you wrestle with today's Gospel, what signs
do you see in your own life that you are "with

A deacon is an ordained minister of the Catholic Church. There are
three groups, or "orders," of ordained ministers in the Church: bishops,
presbyters and deacons. Deacons are ordained as a sacramental sign to
the Church and to the world of Christ, who came "to serve and not to
be served." The entire Church is called by Christ to serve, and the
deacon, in virtue of his sacramental ordination and through his various
ministries, is to be a servant in a servant-Church. As ministers of
Word, deacons proclaim the Gospel, preach, and teach in the name of
the Church. As ministers of Sacrament, deacons baptize, lead the
faithful in prayer, witness marriages, and conduct wake and funeral
services. As ministers of Charity, deacons are leaders in identifying the
needs of others, then marshaling the Church's resources to meet those
needs. Deacons are also dedicated to eliminating the injustices or
inequities that cause such needs. But no matter what specific functions
a deacon performs, they flow from his sacramental identity. In other
words, it is not only WHAT a deacon does, but WHO a deacon is, that is
important.

El Papa Francisco dice “Cuando una
persona que ama puede hacer un bien a
otro, o cuando ve que al otro le va bien
en la vida, lo vive con alegría, y de ese
modo da gloria a Dios, porque «Dios
ama al que da con alegría” (amoris
laetitiae 110). Que significa esto en el
contexto del matrimonio? Significa que
el amor no es un sentimiento que dura
un mes, un año, al contrario el amor es
una opción. Mucha personas piensan que
el amar a una persona se reduce a un sentimiento; pero
pienso que puedes amar a una persona sin sentir. Cuando el
amor se entiende más allá del sentimiento, se encuentra el
verdadero significado del amor.
El amor es bueno por naturaleza, y si este es bueno, significa
que está orientado al bien supremo que es Dios. Para poder
hacer el bien a otra persona, necesitamos involucrar a Dios
en el matrimonio. Él tiene que estar en cada momento que la
pareja experimenta. La comunión con Dios ayuda que la pareja
se renueve día con día de manera que el amor no se vuelva una
rutina; sino algo que se renueva a diario. Hermanos hagamos
un esfuerzo de tomar la decisión de amarnos sin medida. El
verdadero amor no se acaba, este se renueva a diario.
