Fifth Sunday of Easter
Communion: Intimacy with Jesus
In the First Reading, we see how Barnabas helps
the people of Jerusalem to accept St. Paul into
the community of believers. The Holy Spirit was guiding the
early Church, so even though St. Paul encountered opposition,
the message took hold and he went on to preach in Tarsus. •
Psalm 22 is the one Jesus quoted from the cross. Like all
lamentations this one ends with verses of praise and gratitude
to God for His powerful intervention. It goes on to predict
that one day all peoples, to the ends of the earth, will praise
God for all He has done, and all who die will also praise Him.
• In the Second Reading, St. John is encouraging us to practice
the Faith not just in word, but also in deed. He also tells us to
trust in God’s goodness, by placing our hearts in His, making
Him the center of our being. We should live the Faith vertically
and horizontally, loving God and our neighbor. • In today’s
Gospel from St. John, we are encouraged to establish an
intimate relationship with God, which will enable us to find
the true meaning of our lives. Jesus tells us that He is the Way,
the Truth and the Life, the Source of our vitality, as the vine is
to the branches. As we live out our Christianity, we draw
strength, life from the Vine. This intimacy is obtained from
our relationship with our Eucharistic Lord, our Holy
Communion with Jesus present inside us. This sacrament
nourishes us so that we may be fruitful in God’s love.
New Testament Study Group
The next meeting is Thursday, May 14th in the Parish Hall at
1:00 p.m. The assignment is Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians.
New members are always welcome. For information call Marie
Schumacher at 453-1565 or Tom Slakey at 455-7186.
Rosary Makers (ROMA)
The Rosary Makers continue to make and donate rosaries around
the world including locally. You will find some rosaries in the
literature rack in the church vestibule. Please remember that the
Rosary is not a toy. Donations are greatly appreciated and help to
buy the materials to make the rosaries. Place your donation in a
special envelope available on the literature rack. and place donation
in the collection basket, the rectory mail slot.
Prayer of the Week
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, you have
revealed to the nations your saving power and
filled all ages with the words of a new song. Hear the echo of
this hymn. Give us voice to sing your praise throughout this
season of joy. Through Christ our Lord.
The Eucharist
“In all truth I tell you if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of
Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Anyone who
does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I
shall raise that person up on the last day.” – John 6:53-54 •
Reception of the Eucharist completes our initiation as full
members of Christ’s body. More, all the other sacraments and
apostolic ministries of the Church are bound up with and
oriented to the Eucharist. In the words of the Dogmatic
Constitution on the Church, the Eucharist is “the source and
summit of the Christian life” (11). It signifies and really causes
our union with the Blessed Trinity, and it is the source of union
among the people of God. The Eucharist a sublime mystery
of God’s love, unites us to Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, a
sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to the Father. Through
this wondrous gift, the Lord continues to pour out his saving
graces on the members of his body, the Church • The saints
understand well the power of the Eucharist and its importance
for Catholic life. St. Therese of Lisieux wrote: “Our Lord
does not come down from Heaven every day to lie in a golden
ciborium (in the church’s tabernacle). He comes to find another
heaven which is infinitely dearer to Him—the Heaven of our
souls.”
Divine Mercy
A gentle reminder that a small group of Sacred Heart
parishioners continue to meet the 2nd Saturday of each month
immediately following the 9:00 a.m. Mass to recite the Rosary
followed by the Divine Mercy prayer. Literature and
instructions are available in the church vestibule. If you have
any questions please contact Rita Fernandez at 451-4669,
Teresa Harris at 736-1737 or Teresa Walters at 484-6567.

Icon of St. Jude
As you may know, Sister Anne Sekul, raised
in the parish and educated at Sacred Heart School, is a Sister of
Mercy and a gifted iconographer. We have commissioned Sister
Anne to “write” (paint) an icon of St. Jude for our church. The
icon will be hung in the St. Ann Chapel on the wall above the
votive candle stand. Over the coming months we will give update
reports on the progress of her work. • It has been said that the
finished icon is the result of the prayers of the iconographer and
the community who will receive the icon, seeking the intercession
of St. Jude. Parishioners are invited to join Sr. Anne in praying
that the Holy Spirit will guide her hand as she writes this sacred
image of St. Jude, patron saint of the desperate. • If you would
like to make a donation to go toward the cost of the icon, please
make your check payable to “Sacred Heart Church.” In the
memo field write: “St. Jude icon.” Special donations directed
toward the cost of the icon will enable the Parish to build up the
Church Buildings Fund. Thank you.

Do You Have Time for Growth?
Have you suffered from troubling life events? From minor
inconveniences to significant trauma or crisis, these experiences
are troubling, frequently frightening and depressing but they are
also opportunities to depart from daily worries and look at life. As
regrettable as these events are, they are also time for growth, to
understand who one is but, more importantly, who one can be.
Moving forward, sometimes out of the depths of despair, allows
one to identify how a traumatic event can ultimately and over time,
bring insights and recognition of personal strengths. • Join
Parishioner Dr. Joyce Mikal-Flynn on Saturday, May 9th 8 a.m. to 4
p.m. in the Fr. O’Hara Parish Hall and discovery how traumatic
events, even life crisis, enables personal awareness and development.
Original research brought forth a system: Metahabilitation that
includes stages and specific conditions that influence, support and
prompt post traumatic growth and guide this process. To register
for the program, contact Elizabeth Brim at [email protected]
or www.metahab.com or call 834-8054.
Mercy Guild’s Opportunity Drawing Mercy Guild will be selling tickets in the church vestibule this weekend for
their Opportunity Drawing, to be held on May 26th. The first prize is $1,000. Proceeds will help the Guild to purchase important
equipment in support of the Hospital ministry at Mercy General. We hope you will support their fundraising efforts.
Whoever remains in me will bear much fruit.”
