MARCH FOR LIFE 2021
|
|
The San Diego Walk for Life car caravan has been postponed to Saturday, January 30th at 1:00 pm. See Bishop McElroy’s statement below… “With deepest regret we must postpone the car caravan for the March for Life celebration until January 30th at 1:00 p.m. Given the violence in Pacific Beach last weekend, I spoke directly with the San Diego Police Department and asked if they could provide assurance that the caravan could proceed this Saturday without complicating efforts to maintain peace there in light of the political demonstrations planned in front of the County Administration Center for this Saturday. The Police Department felt that it could not provide such an assurance, and thus out of concern for the caravan participants and a desire not to make the job of our police any harder in these troubling days, I feel we must postpone the event. I am so grateful for the tremendous work that the planning committee has done in expanding our March for Life celebrations this year to include webinars, a concert, and three Masses throughout San Diego County, so that even amidst the pandemic we can witness powerfully to the moral and legal rights of unborn children and the suffering of pregnant women in our midst.” Bishop Robert W. McElroy |

Dear Fellow Parishioners, This week we find ourselves back in Ordinary Time. The songs for this week’s Mass are familiar ones and their lyrics can be found in this attachment. The readings this week are about receiving and answering God’s call. The first three songs are all based on this week’s psalm, but the treatments are all so different, I decided to share all three. ‘See, I have come, Lord, to do your will’ https://youtu.be/3cXnxH_NbI0 The next three are about answering God’s call. ‘The Voice of God Is Calling’ sung by Westwood Congregational Church https://youtu.be/Vau6A17kjW0 And this last one is more in response to today’s world and the times we find ourselves in. ‘Earth to God’ by John Rich https://youtu.be/fvMQ_xStg9M God bless you all with good health in mind, body and spirit.

Another Email Scam
|
|
Someone reported that they received an email from letuspray@sacredheartob.org claiming that there was a deposit made in his account. However, the deposit did not go through and to claim it click on ‘here’ to transfer the money into the account. Please do not click on this link. It is a scam. Please be very aware of anything that doesn’t look right, too good to be true, or suspicious. Call the parish office if you have any questions. Angela Roberts |

Dear Fellow Parishioners, This is the last Sunday of the Christmas Season, so we start the Mass with ‘Joy to the World’ and then start to move away from Christmas music. No new music this week, but we have a very old song from the 13th Century, ‘Of the Father’s Love Begotten’ that we don’t often sing. Here’s a link for it: https://youtu.be/T1CAZi_PmLA The song for the Preparation of the Gifts, ‘When Jesus Comes to Be Baptized,’ is sung to the tune of ‘On Jordan’s Bank.’ The words to these songs and all the others can be found in this attachment. So for this last Sunday of the Christmas season, I first want to share a recording of ‘Joy to the World’ as sung by the Bulgarian National Radio Children’s Choir. They are wonderful! https://youtu.be/sihe9Li_cqU Just like the song choices for mass, we’ll now move on to the Baptism of the Lord. I found some interesting songs about His baptism in a wide variety of musical styles. The first one I’m going to share with you is ‘Troparion of the Theophany of Christ’ sung by a Byzantine choir from Pittsburg. It has a very Middle Eastern sound. https://youtu.be/JkrXBn0-cRQ At the opposite end of the musical spectrum, here’s a song sung by George Jones, ‘I Wonder How John Felt (When He Baptized Jesus)’ https://youtu.be/jibwyko5C_s The next one is ‘The Baptism of Jesus’ by Peg Angell, sung in a folk music style. https://youtu.be/U7d3fZUehMo A more traditional hymn, ‘When John Baptized in Jordan’s River’ is sung here by a monk, Brother Alphonsus Mary. https://youtu.be/XBRGMSV5WyI And lastly, after this tumultuous week of strife and shocking numbers in the pandemic, I have two songs for you. The first is ‘He Knows (Song of Hope in Turbulent Times)’ sung by a young girl, Hallie Cahoon. The second is by an even younger girl, Claire Ryann Crosby, only 5 at the time this was recorded with her father. ‘Peace in Christ’ https://youtu.be/Waitmz6C100 I hope they bring you peace. God bless you and keep you well. Janis Cantú |
