Scripture Readings October 26, 2014
Ex 22:20-26 Ps 18:2-4, 47, 51
1 Thes 1:5c-10 Mt 22:34-40
We are to love the Lord with our whole heart, and our
neighbor as ourselves (1, Ps,3). By thus fulfilling these
two great commandments, we hope to become models
of faith and imitators of the Lord (2) who gave himself
totally for our sakes.
For Reflection: How has your understanding of what
it means to be a Christian changed as you have matured?
World Mission Sunday
Parroquia del Sagrado Corazón
Vigésimo Noveno Domingo Ordinario
Octubre 19, 2014
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.
Mensaje del Padre Hilario
La Caridad de Cristo Hacia los Emigrantes
Nuestro mundo se ha convertido en una villa. La villa
global presupone un deseo de convivencia fraterna
entre los pueblos. Un fenómeno en toda la historia de
la humanidad es el de la migración. La familia hispana
debe tener un sentido claro de cuáles son los valores
que deben guiar nuestras actitudes hacia los
inmigrantes y cuáles son nuestros deberes. Tenemos
que recordar con la Carta a lo Hebreos "No tenemos
aquí ciudad permanente, sino que buscamos la patria
futura" (Hb.13, 14). Este mundo en que vivimos es un
don de Dios para la humanidad. Todos somos
peregrinos en él, nadie es dueño, y este mundo actual
no es el definitivo. Pero mientras vivimos en este
mundo, tenemos deberes morales y religiosos que
cumplir, como verdaderos seguidores de Cristo. El
mundo que Dios nos da es un mundo que necesita ser
trasformado con la fuerza del Evangelio.
Un fenómeno que ha captado la atención pastoral de la
iglesia en años recientes es el problema de las
migraciones. Un comunicado de Aciprensa del 14 de
mayo de 2004 anunciaba que el Pontificio Consejo
para la Pastoral de los emigrantes e Itinerantes había
publicado una instrucción titulada "la caridad de Cristo
hacia los emigrantes", que aborda el tema "el
fenómeno migratorio hoy" y pone énfasis en la
necesidad de una acción pastoral que sea adecuada y
garantice la atención a los migrantes con el apoyo
mutuo de los pastoralistas y de la jerarquía. (Aciprensa
del 14 de mayo de 2004).
El documento reconoce que el fenómeno migratorio
nos confronta con la necesidad de una ética que busque
una más justa distribución de los bienes de la tierra,
recordando precisamente que el mundo es ahora una
villa global, una familia de pueblos. El documento
exhorta a una pastoral específica para los emigrantes, y
la necesidad de desarrollar una cultura de acogida y
solidaridad en relación con los emigrantes. La acogida
y la solidaridad con los emigrantes debe ser reflejo de
la caridad de Cristo hacia todos.

Campaign Update
The success of any capital campaign is dependent on
the fulfillment of pledged gifts. But a pledge doesn’t
replace the church windows or pay
down the debt at the bank or put
cash into savings for a rainy day
fund. Only our payments on our
pledges can do that. So, as best
you can, please don’t forget about the promise you
made. Try to keep your payments as steady and
regular as possible. The more consistent your payments
are, the better we can plan for the projects for which
that money was intended.
On our $800,000 goal, we raised pledges and gifts of
$1,000,000! Three years into the five year pledge
period, we’ve made payments of $700,000! Thank
you so much for honoring your pledges so
faithfully!!
Right now our parish rebate is 20% of the funds
collected so we’re just $100,000 short of the point at
which our rebate flips from 20% to 80%!!

Christian Formation and Evangelization
DO YOU KNOW that in the early Church only adults
were baptized? At a fairly early date, baptism became
associated with the annual Easter Vigil.
Surviving records from these days tell us that in many
places adults were tested for up to three years while
they were instructed and supported in their withdrawal
from pagan practices and loyalties and taught to live a
new way. Only then were they admitted to candidacy
for baptism.
Their final intense preparation came during Lent when
they received intense instruction submitted to
exorcisms and other special rituals and were baptized
during the night of the Easter Vigil.
This period of preparation leading to initiation at the
Easter Vigil was the beginnings of the catechumenate.

Sacred Heart School
Religious Education
Fellow Parishioners!
Do you ever have those mornings where you greet
the day bursting with energy, really looking forward to
all that God has in store for you with joy? You feel
awake, alive, on fire, exited. Or, does all of the noise
and chaos of our world get in the way of that
sometimes? I don’t know that any of us hits that joy
and excitement 100% of the time, but I have to tell
you, our children at school burst with that energy each
morning. When I stand outside to greet them, I am
stunned, I am grateful, I am blessed each day. Our
students arrive wide awake, excited to see me, with
incredible enthusiasm and positivity about the day
ahead. It may be that not each child feels that way
every morning, but as group, our students’ expressive
joy has been a sure and certain reality each day. They
may not word it this way, but I can see in them the
deep and certain knowledge that the day ahead is a gift,
a genuine grace from God, and never something to be
taken for granted.
I also saw our students’ joy in a profound way when
Deacon Carlos visited some middle school classes on
Monday to pray with them. The scripture reading that
morning (which we pray with in morning
announcements) was of the Good Samaritan. The
message perfectly matched something we all try to
remind our children of daily: the path to a meaningful,
purposeful, joyous life is to live with love. When
Deacon Carlos asked our students what this was about,
many of them, in a variety of classes, responded much
the same way: we are called to love everyone, even if
we don’t like them. This is a message we try to share in
our morning announcements, in class prayers, in a
great variety of ways, and our students listen. This
week, may we all listen. Let’s listen to God’s voice
reminding us to greet our days with exuberant joy, to
really cherish the great gifts He has ready to share with
us.
May God so bless us,
Zachary S. Coyle
