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 Dear Sisters and Brothers in the Lord, Welcome! Thanks for joining the Sacred Heart worshiping community as we celebrate our Eucharistic Liturgy for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Your prayerful participation enriches our Liturgy and brings blessings to our community. May the Risen Lord enlighten your mind with the words of Sacred Scripture and nurture your faith with the Bread of Life. In today’s Gospel, Jesus is asked a question by a “scholar of the Law.” It was a common question asked and discussed by teachers and scholars of the Law. “Teacher, which commandment in the Law is the greatest,” asked the scholar. Jesus responds by reducing the Law to two commandments, we are to love God and love our neighbor as ourselves. Although love is often defined as “a deep and tender feeling of affection for a person...a feeling of good will toward another,” and at times linked to sexual attraction, love is also an act of the will. The love that Jesus desires goes beyond feelings or attraction. We choose to love! It is an act of the will seen in one’s caring for another through acts of love. In Exodus today, the Lord expresses concern for the “alien,” “any widow or orphan” and “your poor neighbors.” Love calls us to “not molest or oppress an alien.” In love we avoid wronging a widow or orphan and extorting our neighbors. Love calls for us to be compassionate, for as the Lord says, “I am compassionate.” Compassion is to be our response to those who mourn the death of a loved one. We also witness to compassion in our prayer for those who have died. Next Sunday, we will celebrate “The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed.” Commonly known as All Souls Day, it is a day our prayers are lifted up to God in memory of a deceased loved one. We will have a special Liturgy at 12:00noon remembering those buried from our Church over the past year. The 2014 frame will be hung along with the frames for each year since our founding in 1927, listing the names of those we remember in prayer in the month of November. May the rest in peace! Be well! God bless, Fr. McKee I welcome our 6th Grade children and their families to the 9:00am Liturgy. As they prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, may we continue to pray for them.

THE EUCHARISTIC PRAYER Corner As the Eucharistic Prayer continues, the words of institution, the words that Jesus spoke at that last dinner with his friends, are repeated. This is the part of the prayer that is probably the most familiar to us. Following the words of institution, we pray for those who have died and then we say the prayer that Jesus taught his followers, commonly known as the Our Father or the Lord’s Prayer. After we pray the Lord’s Prayer, we offer one another the sign of peace. More than just a time to shake hands or exchange hugs, this piece is meant to symbolize the unity of the congregation and allow us to bless one another. After this exchange of peace, we pray the Agnus Dei: Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Then we enter into the mystery of communion!
