Veni Sancte Spiritus
Come, O Holy Spirit, come! And from your celestial home
Shed a ray of light divine!
Come, O Father of the poor! Come, source of all our store!
Come within our bosoms shine!
You of comforters the best; You, the soul’s most welcome
guest; Sweet refreshment here below;
In our labor, rest most sweet; Grateful coolness in the heat; Solace in the midst of woe.
O most blessed Light divine, Shine within these hearts of
yours, And our inmost being fill!
Where you are not, we have naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
Nothing free from taint of ill.
Translation of the Sequence of Pentecost

M onday is the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, a relatively new
feast on the Church calendar - a title given to Mary at the Second Vatican Council and a feast created by Pope Francis. The first readings this week are from Paul's Second letter to the Corinthians. We take up the Gospel of Matthew, which will be part of our readings for Ordinary Time. The week offers us the Sermon on the Mount. By the end of the week, we hear Jesus encouraging us to live honestly, making elaborate promises and oaths unnecessary.“Let your ‘Yes' mean ‘Yes,' and your ‘No' mean ‘No,'” he says. The words we use are less important than the life we lead.

John 20:19-23
A few years ago, during Rome’s quiet summer, Pope Francis took a day off to visit privately with some
old friends, whose identity took Catholic Italy by surprise: Evangelical Protestants. They welcomed Francis to their Pentecostal Church of Reconciliation, where Francis asked pardon for Catholic persecutions and celebrated the Holy Spirit’s “pentecostal work.” Unlike Satan, declared Francis, who creates division among God’s children, the Holy Spirit creates a diversity rich and beautiful. And unity; not uniformity, Francis specified, but unity in diversity. Francis named the Spirit’s gift “reconciled diversity.” Pentecost’s rich treasury of scriptural readings, for Saturday’s vigil and Sunday’s morning liturgy, traces the Holy Spirit’s work from creation’s beginning, through Jesus’ resurrection, into the church’s earliest days, now into our days. Kindled in our hearts, the Spirit’s gentle fire is ours to share generously, even with those most strikingly different from us. All hearts are Spirit-warmed by reconciled diversity. Copyright © J. S.

J 15 J oin with fellow parishioners and
Msgr. Thein for a Saturday bike ride from Sacred Heart to Krog Market for breakfast. The ride will be along easy paths and is suitable for the whole family. Meet at Sacred Heart on June 15 at 9:30am (after Msgr. Thein finishes up the 9:00am Mass), and take off for a morning of fun. This marks the second breakfast bike ride, though the first was cut short by rain. Hopefully this time everyone will be able to enjoy breakfast at Krog Market.

O n June 9, 1920, Sacred Heart was consecrated. This is different from a dedication, which is a ceremony all new
churches conduct. A Consecration takes place at relatively few churches and requires a number of preliminary conditions be met, including freedom from debt. It is a very long, very complicated ceremony (it took four hours at Sacred Heart) that is afterward commemorated every year. It is mandated that the anniversary of the Consecration be observed each year. If the anniversary falls on a weekday, Sacred Heart has special permission from the Archdiocese to use special readings on that day. If the anniversary is on a Sunday, Sacred Heart lights the special consecration candleholders at all Masses.
These candleholders were affixed to the wall as part of ritual itself, and their presence indicates a consecrated church. Twelve crosses are painted or placed around the four interior walls of the church. If they are not actually painted on the walls, they must be made of metal or stone and attached to the walls. Each cross has a candleholder attached to the bottom of it. During the consecration ritual, each cross is anointed with Chrism and incensed. Sacred Heart’s brass crosses are affixed to the walls: four on each side wall, and two on the back wall near the doors. Unfortunately, the two crosses that were in the walkway behind the sanctuary have been removed and lost. The candleholder part of Sacred Heart’s crosses is only attached when the candles are to be lit – at Christmas Midnight Mass, the Easter Vigil, and the anniversary of the Consecration.
Picture taken during the Consecration in 1920. The Bishop and his altar server attendants are within the altar rail. The markings on the floor of the center aisle are part of the ritual. Ashes are placed on the floor to form a cross, and the Bishop traces both the Greek and Latin alphabets in the ashes. These alphabets represent the Readings used
during Mass.

T he Archbishop’s Annual Appeal has set a 2019 goal for Sacred Heart of $92,300. These funds
are required to be paid to the Archdiocese by each parish. Each year parishioners are asked to contribute to the appeal to meet the goal. Any shortfall must be met out of offertory donations. As of May (the Appeal runs on calendar year, not fiscal), generous parishioners have so far paid about 46% of the goal with the year about 42% complete, so we are on a good pace to meet the assessment. Thank you to all who have contributed or pledged.
Assessed Goal=$92,300

E ach week, the Recycling
Committee takes a week's worth of materials to the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM). The below picture is just one week’s worth. These are in addition to 3 large, wheeled containers of "easier" to recycle materials that are picked up from Sacred Heart each week by Conex Recycling. Join us in this effort by thinking before you throw anything in the trash.
We'd love to have you help the Recycling Committee in other ways, too. Contact Jerry Pace at jjpace43@comcast.net.

J une 30th marks the end of the fiscal year for Sacred Heart. As of the end of May, the offertory was about
$66,000 behind the budgeted offertory. These are funds used for operational expenses of Sacred Heart, those expenses that not only pay for the ‘nuts and bolts” like electricity, but also pay for security, musicians, Communion elements — the mundane and the spiritually transcendent.. As we come towards the end of the fiscal year, it might be a good time, to consider your weekly generosity to your parish and help where you can.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
H oy celebramos la Pascua de Pentecostés. Esta es una de las tres Pascuas que celebramos los
cristianos. Las otras dos son la Pascua de Resurrección (o Pascua Florida) y la Pascua del Nacimiento de Jesús. Estas tres solemnidades cristianas celebran tres momentos claves en el plan de salvación: la Encarnación del Verbo Divino (Jesús), su Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección y el descenso de su Espíritu Santo sobre la Iglesia. Pascua viene siendo el nombre de la principal solemnidad del calendario judío y recuerda la liberación del pueblo de Israel de la esclavitud. Los cristianos hemos tomado ese nombre por reconocernos como descendientes de Abraham y porque en nuestras tres pascuas celebramos que Jesús viene a salvarnos, o sea, a liberarnos del pecado y sus consecuencias tanto personales como sociales. En muchas partes el titulo de Pascua se ha dejado para hablar de la Fiesta de la Navidad y la Fiesta de Pentecostés. Esto es una lástima ya que el recordar la Pascua debe impulsar al cristiano a obrar por la liberación de todos para que el mundo se salve por Jesucristo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

H ace algunos años, durante un verano tranquilo en Roma, el Papa Francisco tomó un día de descanso
para pasar un tiempo en privado con algunos viejos amigos, cuyas identidades tomaron por sorpresa a los católicos italianos: protestantes evangélicos. Ellos dieron la bienvenida a Francisco a su iglesia pentecostal de la reconciliación, donde Francisco pidió perdón por las persecuciones católicas y celebró “la obra pentecostal” del Espíritu Santo. Francisco declaró que Satanás crea división en medio de los hijos de Dios, pero el Espíritu Santo crea una diversidad rica y hermosa. Y unidad, pero no uniformidad, Francisco especificó, sino unidad en la diversidad. Francisco nombró el don del Espíritu Santo “diversidad reconciliada”. El rico tesoro de Pentecostés de las lecturas de las Escrituras, para la vigilia del sábado y la liturgia del domingo por la mañana, rastrea la obra del Espíritu Santo desde el comienzo de la creación, mediante la resurrección de Jesús, hacia los primeros días de la Iglesia, ahora en nuestros días. Encerrados en nuestros corazones, el fuego gentil del Espíritu es nuestro para compartir generosamente, incluso con aquellos que son notablemente diferentes a nosotros. Todos los corazones son estimulados por la diversidad reconciliada. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
