Parish Mission Statement We, the Sacred Heart Parish Community, knowing we are sustained by the Eucharist, dedicate ourselves to: Forming a prayerful and worshiping community Educating all in Christ s wisdom formed in and through the Gospel + Living our faith in today s society We strive to: Invite, welcome and serve all through our stewardship Unite our community through acceptance of one another + Comfort through word and deed 2

3 Dear Sisters and Brothers in the Lord, Welcome! Thanks for joining the Sacred Heart worshiping community as we celebrate our Eucharistic Liturgy for the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. Your presence and prayerful participation bring us many blessings. May this sacred time refresh your spirit and strengthen your faith. Leaving the Christmas Season with last week s Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, we have entered the Ordinary Time of the Church s Liturgical Calendar. In a commentary from the St. Andrew Bible Missal it was said, Ordinary Time is not very ordinary at all. Ordinary Time, the celebration of Sunday, is the identifying mark of the Christian community which comes together, remembering that on this first day of the week, the Lord of Life was raised up and creation came at last to completion. Sunday as a day of play and worship is a sacrament of redeemed time now and for ever.this is not ordinary at all. This is the fabric of Christian living. We begin Ordinary Time with St. John s Gospel account of the Wedding at Cana in Galilee. Mary, Jesus and his disciples were invited to a wedding. Mary alerts Jesus, they have no wine. Jesus protests that his hour has not yet come. Ignoring Jesus response, Mary instructs the servers, Do whatever he tells you. Jesus goes on to change water into wine, providing a happy ending for the newly married couple. This was the first, the beginning of his signs that were to reveal his glory and aided in his disciples believing in him. St. Paul, in today s Letter to the Corinthians, presents us with gifts that in many ways are signs that the Spirit of Jesus is alive in us. The Spirit enriches us, the Church and our world with spiritual gifts, different forms of service and different workings. These gifts, when used for some benefit, become a sign of Jesus Spirit alive and well in us. May you come to recognize the gifts of the Spirit in you. May you use your gifts for some benefit. Peace be with you! God bless, Fr.
