T o get some context on how things have changed since this building was built in 1898, take a look at the types of
transportation represented in these historic photos and old postcards from the early 20th century. The photo to the left, circa post-1913, features both a horse-drawn buggy and an early automobile. The color picture below, circa pre-1911, shows a glimpse of a horse and buggy moving along the street and what appears to be a rutted, dirt road. The bottom left picture, from the 1930’s, shows not only an automobile of the era, but also Sacred Heart Way with the church on the left, the old rectory to the back, and the original Marist College to the right. Today we are as likely to see electric cars or scooters in front of the church.

S M R Jeremiah 17:5-8; Psalm 1; 1 Corinthians 15:12, 16-20;
Luke 6:17, 20-26
W hen we think of the word “Beatitude” we think of today’s discourse from Luke’s Gospel, or the
more familiar one from Matthew (which begins “Blessed are the poor in spirit . . . ”). Actually, beatitudes occur throughout the prophets and Gospels. Today in Jeremiah (with an echo in the psalm) we hear, “Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord” (Jeremiah 17:7). Following his resurrection in John’s Gospel, Christ proclaims, “Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed” (John 20:29). The evangelists placed these sayings throughout the Gospels as short reminders about the characteristics that one will find in a follower of Christ, characteristics that will help spread the Good News in this life and lead to eternal blessings in the next. In Latin, the saints are called the Beati, the “Blessed,” for they are the ones who lived the “blessed” life as described by Jesus throughout the Gospels. How blest are we, when we also strive to make our own days a living beatitude! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

T W R C . As we follow Jesus' ministry in Mark’s Gospel, we witness Jesus' discouragement as he again encounters the challenges of the religious leaders. As they retreat to the other side of the lake, Jesus warns his disciples against the rebellious "leaven" of the Pharisees and reminds them of the meaning of the miracle of the loaves - he is like God, come to feed them in whatever desert journey they encounter. Jesus heals a blind man - a scene which begins the journey to Jerusalem on which Jesus tries to heal the blindness of his disciples. Peter acknowledges Jesus as the Christ but rejects Jesus' instruction that he must suffer and die before the resurrection. Jesus rebukes him and instructs his disciples about their discipleship. It is about taking up our own cross with him. Then Jesus takes Peter, James and John and shows them his glory, to prepare them for the scandal of the cross.

T he Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus provides the opportunity for online giving. Now would be a
great time to start taking advantage of it. It’s the beginning of the fiscal year for Sacred Heart. We’re also right in the midst of summer vacations when it’s so easy to forget about your tithe to the parish.
E-giving is a convenient and safe way to make one-time or automatically recurring donations via your bank account or credit card. This system is more convenient for the parish than electronic checks from your bank and convenient for you because you can make changes at any time. Getting started is easy — just visit our website (www.sacredheartatlanta.org) and click on our “E-Giving” link just below the photos. Please take a look at the site and if you have any questions regarding your gift, contact the office directly at 404-974-2246 or by email to [email protected].

M onsignor Churchwell loved his Sacred Heart community,
and the physical structure of the building itself was important to him, as it served as the home of the community he held so dear. In memory of Monsignor Churchwell, a Save the Spires memorial fund has been established in his name with a goal of $68,000 -- $1,000 for each year of his life. We are so close! We have commitments to that fund of $54,288. Please help us honor this wonderful man who spent so much of his priesthood ministering to the people of Sacred Heart. If you wish to participate, please note on the memo line of your donation check: Save the Spires, in memory of Monsignor Churchwell.

S erving over 1,000,000 Catholics, the mission of the Archdiocese of Atlanta is to proclaim the Gospel of the Lord, and grow all of North Georgia in faith, hope, love, and service to others. Together, we are God’s hands and feet, sharing
God’s compassion and mercy, and demonstrating “Go, therefore, and make disciples.”
Your gift to the 2019 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal helps makes it possible by supporting the ministerial, outreach, education, formation, and discipleship work of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Please read the material that has been included with your Sunday bulletin.
Please give prayerful consideration to your level of support to help fund the essential ministries and services supported by the Appeal. Next weekend, we will hear a recorded message from Archbishop Gregory about the Appeal and everyone who has not yet made a gift to the Appeal will have the opportunity during our in-pew process. Please be prepared next week to make a pledge to the 2019 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal.
To learn more about the appeal, and to donate online, visit appeal.archatl.com. A video of Archbishop Gregory’s Appeal message is also available online.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
E n muchos santuarios de Latinoamérica y Europa se pueden encontrar diversas ofrendas que han dejado
los fieles a través de los siglos. Entre estas ofrendas es de particular relieve el exvoto. Exvoto (una frase en latín que se traduce “del voto”) es el regalo que se le presenta al santo o a la santa en reconocimiento del favor recibido. Esto también se llama “manda”. Los exvotos o mandas toman varias formas desde pequeñas medallas en forma de la parte del cuerpo que fue sanado hasta pinturas del milagro concedido. El exvoto más antiguo en América es de una pintura mandada a hacer por Hernán Cortés en honor de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Extremadura (España). Esta imagen reconocía el hecho de ser salvado del piquete de un alacrán mientras estaba en México. Lamentablemente esta pintura se extravió en el siglo XIX. En realidad el santo o la santa no necesita el exvoto pero los creyentes sí. Estas mandas nos recuerdan el poder de la intercesión divina en la vida humana. También nos invitan al agradecimiento de los favores que Dios nos hace. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Bienaventurado es el que confía en el Señor (Jeremías 17:5-8). Salmo — Dichoso el hombre que confía en el Señor (Salmo 1). Segunda lectura — Cristo fue resucitado de entre los muertos, como primer fruto de los que duermen (1 Corintios 15:12, 16-20). Evangelio — Jesús predica: Felices cuando sufren a causa del Hijo del Hombre. Les espera una recompensa grande (Lucas 6:17, 20-26). Salmo responsorial: Leccionario I © 1976, Comisión Episcopal de Pastoral Litúrgica de la Conferencia del Episcopado Mexicano. Usado con permiso. Todos los derechos reservados.
C uando pensamos en la palabra “bienaventuranza” pensamos en el discurso de hoy del Evangelio
según Lucas, o en el más familiar según Mateo (que comienza “Dichosos lo que tienen espíritu de pobre . . .”). En realidad, las bienaventuranzas ocurren en los profetas y evangelios. Hoy, en Jeremías (con un eco en el salmo) oímos: “Bendito el hombre que confía en el Señor” (Jeremías 17:7). Luego de su resurrección en el Evangelio de san Juan, Cristo proclama: “¡Dichosos los que creen sin haber visto!” (Juan 20:29). Los evangelistas colocaron estos dichos por todos los evangelios como cortos recordatorios sobre las caracteríscas de quien sigue a Cristo, características que ayudarán a diseminar la Buena Nueva en esta vida y llevarnos a la dicha eterna en la próxima. En latín, los santos son llamados Beati o “Beatos” porque son aquellos que viven la vida “feliz” descrita por Jesús en los evangelios. ¡Qué dichosos somos cuando nos esforzamos por hacer de nuestros días bienaventuranzas vivas!
