Welcome to Sacred Heart Church
Easter Sunday
April 12, 2020
Easter Sunday (April 12): Mass will be livestreamed on our Facebook
page www.Facebook.com/sacredheartlincolnNE at 7:30 am, and it will
remain available after that.
Blessed Palms are available in the vestibule of the church. Please help
yourself to a few Blessed Palms for your family, practicing social dis-
tancing as you come and go, and using good hand-washing when you
return home. You may also return your old palms for us to burn.
Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I em-brace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
HAPPY EASTER! I would like to thank you for your faithfulness during these challenging times. It’s not easy to be away from the Holy Eucharist. But I pray that your Spiritual Communions will help you hunger for the Body of Christ all the more, as we look forward to the day that we can celebrate the Eucharist together again. May you continue to grow in your personal prayer life as the Domestic Church (the church-at-home), living out your Baptism into Christ. Thanks also for your financial generosity to the Parish, especially in the week before Holy Week (see the collection report on page 2). Your contributions, mailed in or given online, have humbled and encouraged me greatly. Finally, just a quick note that seminarian Dale Allder, who lived here last summer, is back, finishing his studies online. Please pray for him as he prepares to be ordained a Deacon later this spring. Don’t hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance. May God bless you and your families! —Fr. Leo Kosch
Church Cleaning: Thanks to all who helped with cleaning last week. Be-cause of the uncertainty of the health issues regarding the Co-rona Virus, there will not be reg-ular cleaning this week.

Scott Hahn to Join Emmaus Institute for April 18 Free Webinar—Guest speaker and noted Cath-olic author, Dr. Scott Hahn will join the teaching staff of the Emmaus Institute for Biblical Studies for a free, two-hour, collaborative webinar on Satur-day, April 18, 9:00-11:00 a.m. CST. In a live, conversational format they will engage the topic of how to live by faith in a time of fear, under the webinar title: “Fear not, for I am with you”: God’s Presence in Times of Crisis. To access the webinar link, please go to the Em-maus website at www.emmausinstitute.net, or simply visit the Emmaus Institute account on Face-book or YouTube at the time of the event. Celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday (April 19) with an afternoon of at-home live-stream reflections (www.goodcounselretreat.com) by Fr. John Rooney, that will help you to be immersed in the bountiful ocean of God's mercy. The reflections are at 1:00 and 2:00 pm, with silent time for reflection after each talk. Then join the Seminarians of the diocese at 3:00 pm (the Hour of Mercy) for a preached Holy Hour and Divine Mercy devotions.
In his three talks, Fr. Rooney will teach the mes-sage of Divine Mercy using the ABC’s of Mercy: A - Ask for His Mercy. Jesus is constantly offering us His love and mercy. He never tires of waiting for us to ask for forgiveness, as he extends forgiveness for all of our sins. B - Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others. Jesus asks us to show mercy and forgiveness to others: to our families, co-workers, friends, & even to ourselves. C - Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that the graces of His mercy are dependent upon our trust. The more we trust in Jesus, the more we will receive, and we can find a peace that no one else can give. This live-stream is sponsored by Our Lady of Good Counsel Retreat House. Free-will donations are accepted on the website.

“Faith in the resurrection of Jesus says that there is a future for every human being; the cry for unending life which is a part of the person, is indeed answered. God exists: that is the real message of Easter. Anyone who even begins to grasp what this means also knows what it means to be redeemed.” Pope Benedict XVI
