The Gospel
In the 2nd reading today Paul writes to the Church in Galatia and says: “the
gospel preached by me is not of human origin. For I did not receive it from a human
being, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ.” The
word “gospel” means “good news” and the words from Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John are truly “Good News.” Those four books contain the life story of Jesus, the
Son of God. Although written by humans, they came from God and are the Word
of God. How wonderful for us to have these sacred writings and to be able to hear
them anytime we come to Mass.
In today’s gospel Jesus brings back to life the only son of a widowed woman. I
suppose Jesus was quite aware how alone a mother and a widow would feel if her
only son were to die. That would be the situation his own mother would be pondering as she stood at the foot of the cross. What jumps out at me is the compassion of Jesus. He heals, he brings new life, he understands.
We certainly have Good News in Jesus Christ, a God who walks with us, heals us, understands us and brings us new
life. During this Year of Mercy, may our appreciation of His great gifts bring us many blessings and allow us to share his life
and healing with others. May we all bear the Gospel – Good news – into all areas of our lives. Peace, Fr. Tom
PS – Make a journey through the Doors of Mercy outside where the new Church will be built, and pray that God’s mercy
would rain down upon us all.
Ordination of Jeff Baker – Two years ago seminarian Jeff Baker was here at Sacred Heart for his pastoral internship. Yesterday, June 4 he, along with his classmates, were ordained as priests for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Please join Fr. Jeff next
Sunday, June 12 when he will return here to Sacred Heart to celebrate Masses of Thanksgiving at 9:30am and 12:45pm. There
will be a light reception following these Masses in the hall where you can receive a blessing from the new priest.
El Evangelio
En la 2da. Lectura hoy san Pablo se dirige a la Iglesia de Galicia: “Les hago saber que el Evangelio que he predicado,
no proviene de los hombres, pues no lo recibí ni lo aprendí de hombre alguno, sino por revelación de Jesucristo.” La palabra
“evangelio” significa “buena nueva” y las palabras de Mateo, Marcos, Lucas y Juan son verdaderamente “Buenas Nuevas”. Los
cuatro evangelios contienen la historia de la vida y los hechos de Jesús, el Hijo de Dios. Aunque fueron escritos por seres humanos, fueron inspirados por Dios, y son palabra de Dios. Lo más maravilloso para nosotros es que hoy tenemos las Sagradas
Escrituras para escucharlas en cualquier momento de la celebración de la Misa.
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús le devuelve la vida al único hijo de una mujer viuda. Supongo que Jesús era muy consciente de cómo se sentiría una mujer viuda y más a la que se le había muerto su único hijo. Sería como la situación de su propia
Madre al pie de la cruz. A mi parece que, lo que enfatiza Jesús en este hecho es la compasión. Resultado, Él sana, Él trae vida
nueva, Él entiende la necesidad de la mujer.
Ciertamente tenemos la Buena Nueva de Jesucristo, un Dios que camina con nosotros, nos cura, nos entiende y nos trae
vida nueva. Durante este Año de la Misericordia, nuestro reconocimiento por Sus grandes dones que nos han traído muchas
bendiciones y nos han permitido compartir Su vida y Su sanación con los demás. Por lo tanto, asumamos humildemente el
Evangelio—Buena Nueva—en todos los ambientes de nuestra vida. Paz. P. Tom.
P.D. Haga un camino rumbo a las Puertas de la Misericordia donde se va a construir la nueva Iglesia y ore para que la misericordia de Dios llegue como una lluvia sobre todos nosotros.
Egren Gomez—Nuestro Interno Pastoral Egren Gómez cumple si misión aquí con nosotros el 15 de Junio. Durante los últimos
meses, hemos sido bendecidos con su presencia, le deseamos un feliz retorno a su formación en el seminario. Por favor continúen orando por él y por más vocaciones al sacerdocio y a la vida religiosa.
Ordenación De Jeff Baker—Hace dos años, Jeff Baker estuvo aquí en el Sagrado Corazón como Interno Pastoral. El Sábado 4
de Junio él junto con sus compañeros de clase, serán ordenados sacerdotes para la Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles. Por favor ore
por estos hombres mientras se acerca su ordenación. También únase al P. Jeff el domingo 12 de Junio cuando regrese a la parroquia del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús para celebrar dos Misas de Acción de Gracias, una será a las 9:30am y la otra será a las
12:45pm.

I started to see change in myself through Monday Youth Nights. Every
time I went, I seemed to be enjoying myself. What truly changed me
though was the 2nd year Confirmation Retreat. It surprised me to see
how teens my age also wanted to learn about something so life changing! People I have never even met became some of my closest
friends. The Sacrament of Confirmation is truly LIFE CHANGING
and EXTRAORDINARY! I truly Thank You!
In my years of being in Confirmation, my views have drastically
changed. I wanted to get this sacrament over with! Not until I began
meeting new people who were as confused and lost as I was, did I really realize I needed to be closer to God. I need to become closer to God
and my faith. Everything changed when my 2nd year of confirmation
began.
Sincerely, Kyle Pastor

In the Spotlight
Shelley Urmanski
Office of Religious Education
24 years ago I answered God’s call to share my faith as a volunteer catechist which led me into becoming an ORE board member for 4 years.
For the past 6 years I have been employed as the Sacramental Coordinator for Sacred Heart Church which allows me to enjoy seeing God at
work in the families that we serve. Seeing the pure delight in a child after they have received the Sacrament of Reconciliation is a true blessing.
Throughout my faith-filled journey I have had my loving husband of 27
years, along with our 3 amazing children who are actively involved in
ministry walk this journey by my side.
Our Parish Family
Vocations Corner
Look for joy and life
Joy is the most infallible sign of
the presence of God. The vocation
that the Lord calls you to is meant
for your good and should draw
you into joy and a fullness of life.
As you consider your call, pay attention to what brings you joy
and life. This joy that you are
looking for is not just happiness
or ease; often our vocations can be
quite challenging. The joy that
you are looking for will involve a
deep sense of peace and fulfillment.

10th Sunday in Ordinary Time
13th Annual Hijas de Maria Women’s Retreat
El pasado 28 de Mayo se llevó a cabo el Decimotercer Retiro Anual para mujeres bajo el lema: “Vino a los suyos y
los suyos no lo recibieron.” Al retiro asistieron decenas de mujeres como nunca antes. Durante el evento conducido por el
grupo Hijas de María Santísima en unión con la Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón con la guía del Espíritu Santo y con la ayuda
del Padre Ricardo Campos, el Señor derramó ríos de su inmensa misericordia, el Señor sanó resentimientos, reconoces y
liberó del ocultismo de malos recuerdos a algunas personas. El estribillo del Salmo 136 dice: “Eterna es Su misericordia”,
esto fue lo que sucedió, el Señor derramo Su misericordia como brisa suave en todas las asistentes. Por otro lado la coordinadora del grupo Hijas de María Santísima y el Sr. Heriberto Cayetano director del Ministerio Hispano, le dieron un
reconocimiento a nuestro Pastor P. Tom Baker por sus 11 años como Pastor del Sagrado Corazón de Lancaster y también
un miembro del grupo le recitó al P. Tom un bello poema dedicado a los sacerdotes. El retiro terminó con una hora Santa
donde el Señor hizo grandes maravillas. El grupo de oración Hijas de María Santísima se reúne todos los jueves de las
11:30AM – 2PM. Todas están invitadas, recuerden, este grupo es solo para mujeres. Dios las bendiga.
