This Past Sunday’s Homily
|
|
Sunday was the first week of the diocesan initiative on the Eucharist. It is meant to renew our understanding of and love for the Eucharist. We are blessed to have this tool to deepen our understanding of the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Those who viewed the Mass online would have heard an audio issue during the homily – that won’t happen again. Please accept my sincere apologies and watch the homily here: Regards, |

Who’s On First?
written by Rev. Mark Suslenko

We run into trouble when the goals associated with our understanding of success are self-serving rather than in service of the Kingdom of God. We are conditioned into obtaining privilege and status, we forget about matters of the soul and heart.

Dear Fellow Parishioners, This week we’re singing a couple songs you might not be that familiar with, although they aren’t totally new to us: Day of Peace https://youtu.be/jTacujPDnpg and Rejoice in the Promise of Jesus https://youtu.be/aVMXlW6Aqrw. The words to these songs and all the others can be found in this attachment. I based my choices of the following selections on the second reading by St. James and on the Gospel in which Jesus says to take up our cross and follow him.
Enjoy the music and have a great week! God bless, Janis Cantú |

Our Fall Bible Series starts Tomorrow! We will be using Ascension Press Series “Revelation: The Kingdom Yet to Come.” This 11 week study goes over the book of Revelations. To do this class you will need to pay and create an account with Ascension Press with the link below. For just $29.95 plus shipping you will get access to the series videos for a year, a study book and an online workbook. You will have homework each week to read the assigned readings in Revelation and a 55 minute video to watch. On Wednesday we will discussed what we have learned and keep each other accountable for the readings! We have two options to join the Bible Study Wednesday afternoons in person at 1pm in the Alley Cottage or Wednesday nights on Zoom at 7pm. Ascensions Press Description of the Study: “Perhaps no book of the Bible fascinates people more than Revelation. Yet relatively few people have studied it, especially from a Catholic perspective. Revelation: The Kingdom Yet to Come is an intriguing eleven-session study program that shows how the kingdom established by Christ in his Church is intimately connected with the kingdom of heaven. In this study, presenter Jeff Cavins pulls back the veil on the rich symbolism present in Revelation. Discover what the mysterious figures and images of Revelation mean and see how Revelation is more than an apocalyptic vision of the “end times.” Explore the Church’s teaching on the second coming of Christ and the Last Judgment. Understand how God, the Divine Bridegroom, and the Church, his spotless bride, enter into a heavenly, holy, and mystical marriage every time we celebrate Mass.” Class Dates: Wednesdays (September 8-December 15) Wednesday September 8 Link to Ascension Press to buy the Bible Study Please purchase a week ahead of time to allow more than enough time for shipping! Join us: Email Stephen for information to join this amazing Study! Email: religioused@sacredheartob.org Stephen Williams |

Understanding Faithful Discipleship
written by Br. Silas Henderson
|
|
By telling us to “take up” our cross, Jesus isn’t saying that we have to meekly submit to unfair treatment and suffering or embrace a blind, “offer it up” sort of spirituality. And, while they may be opportunities for grace, illness, sad events or even disasters aren’t “the cross.”

Dear Fellow Parishioners, This week we have a new song for communion called ‘Come to Me and Drink’ by Bob Hurd. Here’s a link for you to hear it beforehand if you want to sing it with us: The words to this song and all the others can be found in this attachment. Today’s first reading tells us to fear not because God comes to save us and inspired the first three of today’s selections:
The psalm’s refrain, ‘Praise the Lord, my soul’ inspired the next two songs.
And in this week’s Gospel, Jesus heals a deaf man who then tells everyone.
I hope you enjoy this week’s selections and that you have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend. God bless and keep you. Janis Cantú |
