Music For The
30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
|
|
Dear Fellow Parishioners, This week the choir is singing all songs we’ve done before and you can find the words in this attachment. The Gospel tells us the story of Bartimaeus, the blind man in Jericho, who is given sight by Jesus. The majority of songs this week are inspired by his story.
This song is introduced by the singer/composer with a backstory that lasts about a minute and a half. ‘Different’ by Micah Tyler https://youtu.be/xUT4trsrBCw The title for this next song caught my eye and, listening to it, I thought that it expresses how many of us feel (although you might change the beverage that you would offer him.) ‘Beer with Jesus’ by Thomas Rhett https://youtu.be/dphMriny1Js I hope you enjoy the music and have a great week! God bless. Janis Cantú |

Our Eucharist Renewal Initiative wraps up this Sunday with the last of the “teaching Masses”. To deepen the understanding of the ritual actions of the Mass, the diocese has developed a step-by-step explanation of the Eucharistic liturgy. The explanation is presented within the framework of a meal, where we gather, we tell stories, we share a meal and we are sent renewed into world. Week 3 (Oct. 23-24) Meal sharing: Liturgy of the Eucharist Here are links to download a guide for Week 3 in English and Spanish. |

Blindness of Spirit
written by Br. Silas Henderson
|
|
The physical healing of Bartimaeus is a powerful reminder that, when we open ourselves to God’s grace, we can be healed of that blindness of spirit that prevents us from following Jesus with freedom and joy, which is an important part of discipleship.

We Need To know…
Are The Weekly Masses From Your Home Parish
Still Needed By You?
|
|
Knock Knock Are you still watching Mass online? Live streaming Mass intended to be a temporary solution to keep our parish connected to the Sacred Liturgy when gathering in large numbers was considered unsafe. We care about you. We need to know whether your preference to view Mass online is temporary or a long-term need. You’re an important part of our community. Please contact the parish office this week as your response will help us determine how to best meet the needs of everyone. Here’s an email link to make it easier. parishoffice@sacredheartob.org In October, the SD Diocese does a Sunday Mass count at each Mass. We can’t see you to know whether you’re an individual, a family or a group, so your response is needed. |

Music For The
29th Sunday in Ordinary Time
|

Dear Fellow Parishioners, This week we will be continuing with another “teaching mass” with a script provided by the diocese. It will focus on the Liturgy of the Word. Most of the music at mass should be familiar to you, but the opening song, Though the Mountains May Fall, is one you may not know. You can hear it before we start by using this link: https://youtu.be/CnGnGBlBc1k. The words for this song and all the others can be found in this attachment. In this week’s Liturgy of the word the first reading contains Isaiah’s prophecy that Christ will be a sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins, in the second reading we are told to confidently approach the throne to receive timely help and in the Gospel, we hear once again about the desire among the Apostles to be the greatest among their fellows and that in order to be great they must be the servant of all. The song selections have been inspired by these readings.
The last song should uplift you even if you turn the sound off and just watch the joy in the faces of some of the singers, but don’t do that! Give it a listen! ‘Salvation Has Been Brought Down’ by Praise and Harmony https://youtu.be/KgbHrybmOX8 Enjoy the music and have a blessed week. Janis Cantú |

Our Eucharist Renewal Initiative moves into the next phase this Sunday with the start of “teaching Masses” that will run for three consecutive Sundays. To deepen the understanding of the ritual actions of the Mass, the diocese has developed a step-by-step explanation of the Eucharistic liturgy. The explanation is presented within the framework of a meal, where we gather, we tell stories, we share a meal and we are sent renewed into world. The explanation will be presented over three weeks: Week 2 (Oct. 16-17) Storytelling: Liturgy of the Word Here are links to download a guide for Week 1 in English and Spanish. |

The Love We Are Called To
written by Douglas Sousa, STL
|
|
Christ did not become human to dominate others. He came to seek out the sick, the suffering, and the sinners. He came not only to instruct and heal us, but he suffered the cruelest death imaginable to open heaven to those who would believe.
