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 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Your presence and prayerful participation enrich our gathering. May the Word of God proclaimed enlighten your faith. May the Bread of Life nourish you and renew your spirit. St. Paul's passage from his letter to the Corinthians today needs to be put in the context of his expectation of the Lord's coming again. The verse that proceeds today's reading begins: "The world in its present form is passing away." Paul, mistakenly, anticipates the "end of times." With the end in mind, Paul would like us "to be free of anxieties." He acknowledges the anxiety that everyone experiences, but points out that a married person takes on additional "things of the world." Those married are anxious about pleasing their spouse. As Paul says he is not imposing any restraint, he just believes, since the world is "passing away," one needs to adhere to the Lord without distraction. If one is to be anxious, let them be anxious about pleasing the Lord. Anxiety coming from the "things of the world" distracts one from the "things of the Lord." Todays' Gospel points out that "the things of the Lord" are to be found in Jesus, his life and words. Why? Jesus teaches with authority! Knowing Jesus teaches with authority, we are to be attentive to Jesus and his teachings, avoiding the distractions of this world. Sacred Heart School has an Open House this Sunday from 12:30pm - 2:00pm. Stop over!! Catch a glimpse of all the educational opportunities provided by our Catholic School.
