A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE�

As the Father “sent his son into the world” so parents

send their children into the world “so that the world might

be saved.” This is the missionary role of the Christian

family. Your family is a school where your children

develop convictions which enable them to make a

difference in the world. Fathering is an awesome

responsibility and not for the weak or transient.��

SUNDAY’S REFLECTIONS~�

�

FIRST READING:�

Thus the LORD passed before him and cried out: �

“The LORD, the LORD, a merciful and gracious God,

slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity” (Ex 34:6)�

�

In Moses’ appeal to the Lord to remain with the Israelites

despite their sinfulness, God reveals his fidelity �

and mercy. �

Where do you see these aspects of God in your �

life journey?�

SECOND READING:�

Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with

one another, live in peace, and the God of love and

peace will be with you. (2Cor 13:11b)�

�

We hear today one of the earliest New Testament �

references to the Holy Trinity in Paul’s closing remarks

to the Christians in Corinth. For Paul, the Trinity �

embodies grace, love, and fellowship. �

What insight does this offer us about our Triune God?�

GOSPEL:�

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so

that everyone who believes in him might not perish but

might have eternal life. (Jn 3:16)�

�

This well�known text from the Gospel of John reveals to

us God’s self�sacrifice for our salvation. Why do you

think so many people reject or simply ignore this offer of

eternal life from God?�

�

Today we celebrate the Divine dance, a perfectly �

Choreographed interplay of the Father, Son and �

Holy Spirit. Together they dance and move as one

though three unique Persons with distinctive, yet �

harmonious, patterns and steps. They provide a mirror

into our soul. Within each one of us, the Divine dance

continues, and the music of God’s love continues to �

inspire, sustain, and recreate us with every step and

melody. Can you hear the music that the Triune God is

playing? Where is the dance leading you ? Our minds

can never truly understand or know God. But our hearts

can seek and find Him. From beginning to end, God is

one and, at the same time, Creator, Redeemer, and

Sanctifier, God’s holy Trinitarian dance is calling you to

holiness. Join in and dance!�

$22,000 RAFFLE TICKET FUNDRAISER�

Many thanks to all who have returned your tickets thus

far. For those who have not, please make every effort to

either buy or sell your tickets. Needless to say, the �

Covid�19 pandemic has changed things for us and we

had to cancel the Parish Picnic but since tickets were

already mailed in February, we still want to have the

drawing. We are just not sure yet when or how the �

drawing will be conducted. �

This is a MAJOR FUNDRAISER for Sacred Heart Parish

so your help with selling tickets would be so much �

appreciated. God bless you for always supporting �

Sacred Heart. �

Child Protection and Creating Safe Environments�

Listen to your children:�This summer, when your chil-

dren are out of school and on different schedules, meet-

ing new people and going to new places, make sure that

you talk to them often about their experiences and the

people they’ve met. Listen carefully to your children. If

possible, observe and get to know the other children and

adults who are part of your children’s summertime fun.

Above all, communicate your safety concerns to your

children. Make sure they know that they can come to you

with any concerns they may have about the people they

interact with. And if you hear of or observe behaviors that

may be inappropriate, make sure to communicate your

feelings to people who are in a position to intervene.

Communications is key to creating and maintaining a

safe environment all year round. For additional resources

�

In the history of Christian missionary activity,

there are many great examples of what true

open�mindedness really is. When St Francis of Assisi

set out to evangelize the Muslims, he didn't use violence

and accusations, or threats and tricks. He listened

sincerely and explained patiently. His dream of

converting them all didn't come true, but one of the

Muslim leaders he befriended became a Christian on

his deathbed.�

When Christian missionaries first came to the

pagan kingdoms of Medieval England, Edwin, the King

of the Angles, met with his royal counselors to discuss

how the missionaries should be received. One of the

King's wise advisors gave the following speech:�

"The present life of man, O king, seems to me,

in comparison of that time which is unknown to us, like

to the swift flight of a sparrow through the [banquet]

room wherein you sit at supper in winter, with your

commanders and ministers, and a good fire in the midst,

whilst the storms of rain and snow prevail abroad. The

sparrow, I say, flying in at one door, and immediately out

at another, whilst he is within, is safe from the wintry

storm. But after a short space of fair weather, he

immediately vanishes out of your sight, into the dark

winter from which he had emerged. So this life of man

appears for a short space, but of what went before, or

what is to follow, we are utterly ignorant. If, therefore,

this new doctrine contains something more certain, it

seems justly to deserve to be followed."�

All religions are not the same. If they were,

Jesus Christ would never have come to earth to teach

us the truth. But he did come, and his answers to life's

biggest questions are the greatest treasure we possess.�

�

� � � � Fr. Michael�

�

P.S. It has been two and a half months since we last

participated in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass together.

As you have longed to return to Mass I have longed to

celebrate it with you. Unfortunately, we are not back to

where we should be; we still have limitations on Mass

attendance, music, ministers, and Holy Communion.

My goal is to do what we can so that Mass will continue.

More interruptions will do spiritual damage. It is my great

desire that soon our parish will be back to normal. My

prayers will especially be focused on that. �

P.S.S. I would like to thank everyone who �

remembered my birthday last month. Because of your

generosity I can now buy all the Geritol and Ben Gay �

I need.�
