Elijah heals the son of a widow. She praises the Lord
that her son had been healed (1, Ps). Jesus raises from
the dead the son of a widow of Nain. All are amazed and
glorify God (3). It is this God who revealed His son to

Solemnidad del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo
Mayo 29, 2016
Misión de la Parroquia del Sagrado Corazón
Nosotros, El pueblo de Dios en la parroquia del Sagrado Corazón, estamos intentando constantemente hacernos
una comunidad de fe, que creyendo en Jesús, proclamamos el Reino de Dios y compartimos el misterio de la fe
adorando al Padre, permitiendo a todos los miembros un crecimiento en su relación interpersonal a través del Hijo
y siendo testigo de nuestros dones a través del servicio activo a otros en el Espíritu.
Tiempo Ordinario
Suele ser definido como "el tiempo en que Cristo se hace
presente y guía a su Iglesia por los caminos del mundo";
un tiempo menor o un tiempo no fuerte. En el año
litúrgico, se llama tiempo ordinario al tiempo que no
coincide ni con la Pascua y su Cuaresma, ni con la
Navidad y su Adviento. Son treinta y tres o treinta y
cuatro semanas en el transcurso del año, en las que no
se celebra ningún aspecto particular del misterio de
Cristo. Es el tiempo más largo, cuando la comunidad de
bautizados es llamada a profundizar en el Misterio
pascual y a vivirlo en el desarrollo de la vida de todos
los días. Por eso las lecturas bíblicas de las misas son de
gran importancia para la formación cristiana de la
comunidad. Esas lecturas no se hacen para cumplir con
un ceremonial, sino para conocer y meditar el mensaje
de salvación apropiado a todas las circunstancias de la
vida. El Tiempo Ordinario del año comienza con el
lunes que sigue del domingo después del seis de enero y
se prolonga hasta el martes anterior a la Cuaresma,
inclusive; se reanuda el lunes después del domingo de
Pentecostés y finaliza antes de las primeras vísperas del
primer domingo de Adviento. Las fechas varían cada
año, pues se toma en cuenta los calendarios religiosos
antiguos que estaban determinados por las fases lunares,
sobre todo para fijar la fecha del Viernes Santo, día de
la Crucifixión de Jesús. A partir de ahí se estructura todo
el año litúrgico

de amor nos continúe llenando de bendiciones.

Christian Formation and Evangelization
DO YOU KNOW what Corpus Christi means? This
weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of the Body and
Blood of Christ, popularly called by its Latin title,
Corpus Christi (Body of Christ).
Its origin in the 12th century is connected with an
exaggerated emphasis on the real presence of Christ in
the consecrated bread to be adored to the exclusion of a
fuller meaning of Eucharist as celebration, a meal to be
eaten.
The special feast devoted to the Body and Blood of
Christ was introduced to the universal church in 1264.
A tradition says that St. Thomas Aquinas wrote the
prayers and hymns for the feast.
Feast of the Sacred Heart
The feast of the Sacred Heart will be
celebrated on the weekend of June 4 and
5. Let us join together on this weekend to
thank God for our parish and pray for the
continued protection of the Sacred Heart
of Jesus.
MagnifiKids!
Every week our children use the MagnifiKids! Mass
books to help them to pray with us as a community.
Help is needed to finance our subscription for next year.
We would need about $800 for a year round subscription
of 80 books.
If you or your organization would be able to assist us in
ordering these books, please contact Sister Jude (410833-1696; [email protected]) as soon as possible.
Thank you!
Family Fellowship Fathers’ Night

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
Have you ever considered becoming a Roman Catholic?
Have you or has someone you know ever thought about
exploring questions that you or they may have
concerning the Church and our beliefs?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, RCIA
is for you. The RCIA is a church rite for adults pursuing
the possibility of joining the Roman Catholic Church. If
you, or someone you know, are interested or would like
more information, please call Sister Jude (410-8331696; [email protected]).
Year of Mercy
Pope Francis has declared a Year of Mercy beginning
on December 8, 2015 and continuing until November,
2016. Let us practice the Spiritual Works of Mercy
during this Jubilee Year.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. “Stop
judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning
and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will
be forgiven.” Luke 6: 36-37
Is there someone with whom I will cross paths this
week whom I have judged in the past? What must I do
to be a person who stops judging and forgives, even
when that is really hard?
Parish Sponsors-RCIA
We invite any Parishioner who would like to be a
sponsor or companion to our RCIA members to contact
Sister Jude (410-833-1696; [email protected]).
As a sponsor/companion you would accompany the
candidate or catechumen on their Faith journey. You do
not need to be a theologian – the only requirement is a
willingness to share your faith and your Catholic
experience with folks. You would be welcome to attend
all or some of the actual RCIA presentations.
A Message to Parents
Parents, to what way of life could God be calling your
child? Could it be to priesthood, sister hood or
brotherhood?

Sacred Heart School
Fellow Parishioners,
Have you ever had a moment when you felt
supported by someone and really felt the
impact of that support? Sometimes this can be expected
support or unexpected support, but if you’ve ever been
graced with the feeling and reality that the support
received has really impacted you for the good, then you
know it can be a powerful witness to God’s love.
In the week of May 16th, I was off campus for two
days for technology training that were run by the
Archdiocese. We were working on a new software that
helps us with making the school schedule. This new
software is coupled with the main grading program we
use, PowerSchool, and the software is called
PowerScheduler. You may not know it, but a school
schedule is actually a very complex entity. It’s slightly
less complex for kindergarten and first grade, when
children stay with the homeroom teacher all day, but as
you move to 4th grade and above, the schedule has to
allow for children to receive all of their required classes,
and allow them to move effectively between teachers.
Teachers need planning periods, the resource room
needs coverage, and lunch and recess duties need to be
accounted for, etc. As many of us recognize in our
respective fields, certain processes are indeed complex
and engaging.
The Archdiocese does a lot to support our parishes
and schools, but utilizing this new software is an
incredible support that they’ve just built in now. The
software saves us a great deal of money, as other
scheduling software we’ve used is not part of
PowerSchool. It’s a highly effective tool that lets us
enter our scheduling variables, and then, when that
above step is done, prints out each student and teacher
schedule in minutes. Importantly, the software wasn’t
available to us until recently, and as I was learning on
Monday and Tuesday, it really struck me the
Archdiocese wants our schools to be operating as
efficiently and effectively as possible. This is a great
blessing in this modern era of tight budgets and
competition between private schools, Catholic and
Christian schools, charter schools, etc. This improved
productivity and efficiency from the software will
improve our operations, and the more effectively we
address the business side of Catholic education, the
more we can remain affordable and open to as many
families as possible, and hopefully, by God’s grace,
witness to Christ and better evangelize.
So we expect the Archdiocese to support us, but they
took that support to another level recently, and I found
God’s presence in that. To me, besides the gratitude I’ve
encountered, it also makes me pause: who is depending
on me for that support and have I been as open as God
wants me to be in providing it? This week, may God
truly give us hearts that our open, hearts that are aware
of others’ needs, and hearts that are willing to hear
Christ’s message to love and serve others. If we can do
that, I am certain we can know a deep and abiding joy.
In Faith, Mr. Coyle, Principal
