“Amazed, Astonished, Impossible … but …”
written by Br. John-Marmion Villa
|
|
Many of us can resonate with the response of these disciples — ‘amazed,’ and ‘exceedingly astonished,’ or from another perspective, shocked and perplexed — because they are our very own responses today when Jesus teaches.

Dear Fellow Parishioners, This week’s songs should all be familiar to you and the lyrics can be found in this attachment. The readings this week are about marriage, so most of the following selections focus on love and marriage. Just as this week’s psalm asks God to bless us and describes blessings in family life, this first song reflects that psalm with a video showing a happy family.
Just for fun and to share their joy, I included this video of the Sisters of Our Lady Immaculate (SOLI) answering the ‘Jerusalema’ dance challenge, a gospel-influenced song by South African producer Master KG and performed by singer-songwriter Nomcebo. https://youtu.be/qDMZRIO9Uy4 This week’s toe-tapper was chosen for its joyous, upbeat message. ‘We Are Yours’ by I Am They Enjoy the music and try to keep cool! God bless you and keep you. Janis Cantú |

The Rib of Adam and the Body of Christ
written by Colleen Jurkiewicz Dorman
|
|
Ten years ago, I wasn’t brave enough for Genesis, chapter two. A decade of marriage has shown me that this Scripture passage is not about subservience at all, but about belonging — and not just belonging within a marriage, but within the entire Body of Christ.

Dear Fellow Parishioners, This week the choir will not be singing any new songs, so sing out along with us! The words to all the songs are in this attachment. This week the diocese decided to change all the readings to match the recorded homily about the Eucharist, so don’t expect to be able to follow along in your missal. The new readings are as follows:
Most of the music selections this week are inspired by these readings with a few random beauties to keep things interesting!

If All Were Prophets
written by Allison Gingras
|
|
Today’s readings call us to examine the motives behind our actions, especially those that lead us away from God and towards sin. Not only looking at what obstacles keep us from growing spiritually but also when we are a stumbling block to the growth of other people’s faith.

Dear Fellow Parishioners, This week we have one new song for you, ‘Seek the Lord’, by Roc O’Connor. You can hear it ahead of time at this link: https://youtu.be/DBjPg4bTHEM. The other songs should all be familiar to you. You can find the words for all the music in this attachment. The first song I want to share with you today is ‘Credo’ sung beautifully by Anna Hawkins https://youtu.be/5u0Jkd1nkdA. It is the Creed we say at mass in Latin. The next two songs were chosen because in the second reading St. James tells us, “the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those who cultivate peace.”
The rest reflect this week’s Gospel in which Jesus tell the Apostles, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.”
Enjoy the music and have a safe and healthy week! God bless you all’ Janis Cantú |

Hello Parents & Teens, Registration is open for confirmation! You will be able to register until September 26th and then the first session will be held on Wednesday, October 6th. Click here to register! The diocese has made it a requirement for all confirmation programs to now be two year programs. In light of this, the first year of this program will be primarily academic and take place in the classroom. The second year of the program will be service oriented. Students will be required to only attend 1 Wednesday night sessions per month. Though they are encouraged to attend more. They will instead learn to use their God-given, inherent gifts to serve the parish community. I am very excited to begin our classes and I look forward to building up a community of young people on fire for their faith here at Sacred Heart! Sincerely, John Maxwell Class Schedule
