3 June 14, 2015 Page 3 Dear Brothers and Sisters, A Message from Fr. Tony Last Friday was the solemnity of the Sacred Heart. The devotion to the Scared Heart of Jesus was very important in my family and each of us kids, when we were born, were dedicated to the Sacred Heart. The revelation of God in the Scriptures is that He is a God of Love. Jesus reveals God as love in the revelation of His own heart His Sacred Heart. The image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a very common one in churches and in homes. It depicts Jesus with a heart which is burning. This communicates a great truth that Jesus heart burns with love for each of us. What a tremendous joy and consolation that should bring us. May each of us know deep in our hearts that burning love that Jesus has for us and through that love may we be inspired to love one another as He has commanded us. This coming week I will be in Rochester for the Presbyteral Assembly. Every two years all the priests of the Archdiocese meet together for a few days of prayer, study and fraternity. Please pray for the priests, especially in these days of difficulty for our Archdiocese. God bless, Fr. Tony Pastoral Ministry Light for the Week: For reflection: The potential I see in myself is The potential God sees in me is West Suburban Grief Coalition meets at Oak Knoll Lutheran Church, 300 County Road 73, Minnetonka The group meets Thursdays from 4:30-6:00pm.

4 June 14, 2015 Page 4 What a blast we had at SonSpark Labs! Many thanks to our fabulous volunteers and all the incredible children who participated last week in Vacation Bible School. We learned about God s life-changing plan as we read stories from the Bible, along with hands-on activities that helped us get to know Jesus and God s plan of salvation. Stay tuned for pictures from our exciting week in future bulletins! Children s Liturgy of the Word meets next Sunday, June 21 st, at the 10:30 Mass. Join us if you re in Preschool through 4 th Grade to explore the Scripture readings and relate them to our lives. What s Happening Now? Understanding the Mass Behold the Lamb of God. After we ask the Lamb of God to have mercy on us and grant us peace, the priest elevates the Body and Blood of Christ and declares: Behold the Lamb of God, behold Him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb. He declares to us that this is the source of our salvation. The use of the word behold indicates something of importance is to follow and we should pay close attention. John the Baptist was the first to call Jesus by this name when He came to the Jordon River to be baptized by him. (John 1:29) John knew who Jesus was, and that He was the Suffering Servant that was predicted by Isaiah, the prophet. (Is. 53:7-11) Blessed are those called should remind us that God first calls us, and that if we respond, He will truly bless us with all that we need. Think about: How amazing is it that our salvation comes from a Lamb! Bible Study Priest, Prophet, King by Fr. Robert Barron In part 5 of Fr. Barron s series, he compares the kingship of David to that of Jesus, and how Jesus completes the meaning of King. Whereas David failed in remaining true to God, Jesus totally fulfills the will of the Father. Please join us for the next session on Monday night at 6:30pm or Tuesday at 1:30pm in the Church Library.
