The truly spiritual person will follow Jesus even to the cross. The person with genuine insight into spiritual matters realizes that Jesus cannot be separated from his cross nor can eternal life be separated from death to self. |

Each week we will be sharing a reflection on the Sunday readings at Mass, provided by the publishers of our bulletin. |

Dear Fellow Parishioners, Here we are, beginning the 4th week of Lent. I’m sure you’ll recognize all the music for mass this week and you can find the words for all the songs in this attachment. Once again there are two sets of reading this week, one set being for the Scrutiny mass for the RCIA candidates, so I chose music inspired by both. The Gospel you will hear during mass tells us how God so loved the world. ‘God So Loved the World’ by City of Enoch https://youtu.be/D5UzlYjAqKE ‘For God So Loved the World’ by Joseph Martin https://youtu.be/bXHVMsfpe4w ‘Even Me’ by Triumphant Quartet https://youtu.be/qJHGxY_cmTY The readings for the RCIA mass include the healing of the man blind from birth and Psalm 23: The Lord Is My Shepherd. ‘Heal Me’ by Jenny Phillips https://youtu.be/cPA2q1KnefQ ‘The Lord Is My Shepherd’ by Stuart Townend https://youtu.be/pN4tPkX0MG ‘I Am Not Alone’ Kari Jobe https://youtu.be/Ow4OfW4DP9s And this last song is my wish for all of us this week: that we be as changed and filled with joy by the love of God as the people in this last video, and that we pass it on to all those we meet. ‘Changed’ by Jordan Feliz https://youtu.be/BGPMX4zU9jc Have a wonderful week filled with God’s love and blessings.

My Everything
|
|
My Dear Sisters and Brothers, Greetings and Peace of Christ to you and your families. As we journey through the season of Lent in preparation for the joy of the glorious resurrection of Christ, I wish to announce to you that I have a new song I intend to officially release on Easter Sunday. I am already gathering clips for the official video. It is my earnest desire to feature Sacred Heart Parish in the video. To this effect, our pastor, Fr Tom Kiely will be leading a 10 to 15 minutes Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament inside the Church immediately after the 8:00 a.m. Mass (that is shortly after 9:00 a.m.) this Sunday (March 14, 2021). There will be a video coverage of the Adoration. The audio music, “My Everything” will be looped in the background for the duration of the adoration while the video is captured. I will take some clips from the video and add to the official video of the song, “My Everything.” Parishioners who prefer to stay outside the Church during the adoration are very much welcome. Fr Tom will also walk outside with the Blessed Sacrament to bless those outside, and that part will be included in the video. I will explain the process to everyone at the beginning of the Adoration. Please, feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions regarding this. God bless you and yours, |

Dear Fellow Parishioners, None of the music for this week’s Mass is new, but you may be less familiar with the communion song. We usually sing this as a psalm for the Easter Vigil, but it is such a lovely hymn we wanted to sing it in its entirety. It’s called “As the Deer Longs” There are two sets of readings for this weekend, one of which is for a special Mass for the RCIA candidates, so I chose music this week inspired by both. You can download all of the lyrics at this link. First I’ll share the ones inspired by the readings you’re about to hear. ‘The Ten Commandments’ by Johnny Cash https://youtu.be/0mKZAfJu5FA?t=60 ‘More Precious than Gold’ by Acappella https://youtu.be/4KhFOTpv1-I ‘Your Word Will Be the Last Word’ by Tommy Walker https://youtu.be/aER-XdRA5S0 ‘Jesus, Clear the Temple’ by Pepper Choplin https://vimeo.com/121901057 ‘Clear the Temple’ by Ken Saurajen https://youtu.be/OY0S7tQgRv4 ‘Sanctuary’ by Randy Rothwell https://youtu.be/AxB9VH3cCN4 The Gospel for the RCIA Mass is about the Samaritan woman at the well. There were quite a few songs about that, but here are just two. ‘Woman at the Well’ by Lize Hadassah https://youtu.be/yyFNAs2jRjU?t=133 ‘Women at the Well’ by Kenneth Cope and sung by Julie de Azebedo https://youtu.be/FbhStK9q_As As always, I hope you enjoy them all. God bless you all and keep you safe and healthy. Janis Cantú |

Easter Sunday Masses In addition to the overflow seating outside and loudspeakers for the 8:00 am Mass, there will be a screen for livestreaming the Mass. At the 10:00 am Mass there will only be loudspeakers and seating outside on the patio.
