MASS INTENTION
11:00AM . . . In Honor of Marcia Devlin’s Birthday
COACH PAUL Today's reading from First Timothy sounds almost like a coach getting his team ready for the big game. This coach has much higher goals than a home run or a touchdown. Instead of pursuing a league championship, he seeks faith, love, patience, and gentleness. How about us? Are we in the game or on the sidelines? Let's look at what Coach Paul is talk-ing about. We strive for faith when we see it as not just believing that God exists or that Jesus is God's Son. Faith is a relationship with the Lord in which we imitate Jesus' outlook on life, his teachings, his love of God. We struggle with his commands to love our enemies, to turn the other cheek, to forgive all wrongs, and to take up our cross each day. As Paul would say, we are "competing well for the faith." We pursue love by listening to the Gospel, in which Jesus tells the parable of the rich man who was only concerned with his own comfort. Jesus says that if we truly understood the prophets, such as our first reading from Amos, we would not spend all our energy and wealth on ourselves. We may find that love for our family is much easier than love for strangers or the homeless, but Jesus never said that love would be easy. As we learn to let go of our need to have everything go our way, we become more patient with people who disagree with us, or with frustrations and problems. We learn to see God in our setbacks as well as in our successes. Striving to see Jesus in everyone, we can become more patient with them. They will begin to see Jesus in us as our devotion to him grows. Experiencing the Lord is the championship we want. Tom Schmidt, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
Please join St. John Vianney Vocations Ministry today, Priesthood Sunday, in praying for our priests, praising God for their courage and their generosity. Let us show Fr. Lyons and Fr. Ericksen our
encouragement and gratitude in thoughts and deeds. God bless our priests!
THE MYSTERY OF THE EUCHARIST
A recent Pew study found that 69% of Catholics do not believe in the REAL presence of the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist. This is truly a sad statistic. Nu-merous Catholic articles have expressed dismay that Catholics are so ignorant on the subject. Unfortunately, not one of those articles questions the legitimacy of the study itself. Specifically, what do the responders mean when they say "I am Catholic"? Because when we dig into the research numbers, we find a different story. Among Catholics who regularly attend Mass, the number of practitioners who believe in the real presence rises to 63% (still low, but not as bad). And among the remaining 37%, almost two-thirds of those do not know what the Church teaches. In effect 86% of Catholics who attend weekly Mass understand--and accept--the historical tra-dition of transubstantiation: that Christ is truly with us in the Eucharist.

Historic Sacred Heart Church on Bull Street in Savannah invites you to join the 11:00 AM Traditional Sunday
Choir! Many visiting choral groups and instrumentalists consider Sacred Heart’s fine acoustics to be optimal in the performance of sacred choral music. In addition to annual performances by “I Cantori” and the Armstrong Choir, other groups such as “Illuminare” a visiting choir
from Ohio and “Savannah Quartet” a newly formed local group, have inspired the church to grow the choir from
the current Women’s Choir into an SATB Choir. No mat-ter your age or skill level, if you love to sing and have
been missing the challenges and comradery of a church choir please contact Director Richard Morgan by email at
