July 5, 2020 Sacred Heart of Glyndon Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

There are many people who are overburdened in our world right now. Some are anxious about the COVID virus and wondering when things will return to normal. Others are working from home and wondering whether they will have to teach their children from home again — praying for the opening of school. Others are suffering from serious illnesses and are terrified that they will be infected and not be able to respond well. Our nation is still roiled by protests, racism, and controversy over police, social order, and defense of businesses. Jesus’ words, “Come to me, all you who are weary and find life burdensome, and I will refresh you,” could not come at a better time. Often we only hear this reading at funerals or wakes. This weekend, Jesus offers His wisdom, His consolation, and His willingness to bear all of these burdens — and more — with us!

I hope you are able to enjoy the summer even if it is very different this year. Remember that the COVID pandemic limits us, but it also gives us the opportunity to reflect on how we want life — our life — to be different now and after this is over. Much as we are plagued, we are also given the opportunity to rethink, renovate, and renew ourselves, our families, our churches, and our way of life. The Savior predicted in Zechariah catches people by surprise. He is “meek and riding on a colt.” This is not what people expected of their Messiah. So, too, God can bring blessings, good, and even miracles out of this time that we did not anticipate.

Fr. Jerry Francik

XIV domingo del tiempo ordinario

5 de julio de 2020

Estimados feligreses,

Hay muchas personas que están sobrecargadas

en nuestro mundo ahora. Algunos están ansiosos por el virus COVID y se preguntan cuándo volverán las cosas a la normalidad. Otros trabajan desde casa y se preguntan si tendrán que volver a enseñar a sus hijos desde casa, orando por la apertura de la escuela. Otros sufren enfermedades graves y están aterrorizados de que se infecten y no puedan responder bien. Nuestra nación aún se ve sacudida por las protestas, el racismo y la controversia sobre la policía, el orden social y la defensa de las empresas. Las palabras de Jesús, "Ven a mí, todos ustedes que están cansados y encuentran la vida pesada, y yo los refrescaré", no podrían venir en un mejor momento. A menudo solo escuchamos esta lectura en los funerales o estelas. ¡Este fin de semana, Jesús ofrece su sabiduría, su consuelo y su disposición a soportar todas estas cargas, y más, con nosotros!

Espero que puedan disfrutar el verano aunque sea muy diferente este año. Recuerde que la pandemia de COVID nos limita, pero también nos da la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre cómo queremos que la vida, nuestra vida, sea diferente de vez en cuando. Por mucho que estemos plagados, también se nos da la oportunidad de repensar, renovar y renovarnos a nosotros mismos, nuestras familias, nuestras iglesias y nuestra forma de vida. El Salvador predicho en Zacarías sorprende a la gente. Él es "manso y montado en un potro". Esto no es lo que la gente esperaba de su Mesías. Entonces, también, Dios puede traer bendiciones, buenos e incluso milagros de este tiempo que no anticipamos.

Padre Jerry Francik

Dios y la Verdad Durante los seis juicios de Jesús, el contraste entre la verdad (justicia) y las mentiras (injusticia) fue inconfundible. Ahí estaba Jesús, la Verdad, siendo

juzgado por aquellos cuyas acciones, estaba bañadas en mentiras. Los líderes judíos quebrantaron casi cada ley diseñada para proteger al acusado de condenas injustas. Trabajaron fervientemente para encontrar cualquier testimonio que pudiera incriminar a Jesús, y en su frustración, se basaron en evidencias falsas, presentadas por mentirosos. Pero aún eso no podía ayudarlos a lograr su objetivo. Así que quebrantaron otra ley y forzaron a Jesús a implicarse a Sí Mismo.

Una vez frente a Pilato, los líderes judíos mintieron nuevamente. Acusaron a Jesús de blasfemia, pero puesto que sabían que esto no sería suficiente para convencer a Pilato de condenar a muerte a Jesús, afirmaron que Jesús desafiaba a César y quebrantaba la ley romana, soliviantando a la gente para no pagar impuestos. Pilato rápidamente detectó su engaño superficial, y ni siquiera hizo mención del cargo.

Jesús, el Justo, estaba siendo juzgado por los injustos. La triste realidad es que éste último siempre perseguirá al primero. Es por lo que Caín mató a Abel. El vínculo entre la verdad y la justicia, y entre la falsedad y la injusticia, está demostrado por una serie de ejemplos en el Nuevo Testamento: solo anado tres ejemplos, para confirmar lo dicho anteriormente.

• "Por esto Dios les envía un poder engañoso, para que crean la mentira, a fin de que sean condenados todos los que no creyeron a la verdad, sino que se complacieron en la injusticia" (2 Tesalonicenses 2:11 y 12)

• "Porque la ira de Dios se revela desde el cielo contra toda impiedad e injusticia de los hombres que detienen con injusticia la verdad" (Romanos 1:18).

• "… el cual pagará a cada uno conforme a sus obras: vida eterna a los que, perseverando en bien hacer, buscan gloria y honra e inmortalidad, pero ira y enojo a los que son contenciosos y no obedecen a la verdad, sino que obedecen a la injusticia" (Romanos 2:6-8).

Sacramental

Bautizos: Se celebran cada segundo sábado del mes (excepto durante la cuaresma). Los padres y los padrinos requieren asistir a una clase de preparación que se realiza el tercer domingo de cada mes y los padrinos deben haber recibido todos los sacramentos de iniciación cristiana (Bautizo, Confirmación y Eucaristía). Favor llamar a la oficina para mayor información. Matrimonio: Las parejas que están planeando en casarse deben contactar el sacerdote o el diacono por lo menos seis meses antes de la fecha planeada para este sacramento. Todas las parejas comprometidas deben de tomar el cursillo prematrimonial. Unción de los Enfermos: En caso de emergencia llamar a la oficina parroquial o a la rectoría. Por favor notificar a la oficina si sabe de alguien que se encuentre en el hospital y necesite de este sacramento. Sacramento de la Reconciliación: El sacramento de la confesión se celebra los sábados de 5:30 p.m. a 6:45 p.m.

Wisdom Sayings from the Sisters of St. Joseph

– Sisters Cealy, Karen, and Mary Beth

Maxim 34: “Take care that God alone be the end and the beginning

of all your undertakings.”

• Before each action, I ask God to purify my motives.

• I ask myself, “Will the words I am about to say or the action I am about to perform witness to a God of Love?”

• I remember that all of creation is God’s gift to me. I am entitled to nothing.

God our Father, Giver of life, we entrust the United States of America to Your loving care.

You are the rock on which this nation was founded. You alone are the true source of our cherished rights

to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Reclaim this land for Your glory and dwell among Your people. Send Your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation’s leaders. Open their minds to the great

worth of human life and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom. Remind Your people that

true happiness is rooted in seeking and doing Your will. Through the intercession of Mary Immaculate,

Patroness of our land, grant us the courage to reject the “culture of death.” Lead us into a new millennium of life. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Religious Education

Dear Parents,

I am aware of everyone’s concern for the next session of Religious Education lessons that are scheduled to begin in September. Please be assured that you can safely register your children for classes knowing that all necessary precautions will be taken. If there are times when we are not able to have classes in person, I will have lessons taught by our catechists and myself, and we will make them available for you online each week for easy access at home. The Pflaum company that publishes our weekly lessons has already created the lessons in a digital format for us.

Online registrations and much more information will be available in the week ahead. Please register for the classes soon to help us acquire the needed materials and prepare our catechists. Stay well, and I look forward to our growing in our Catholic faith when we resume our children’s religion classes! ~ Sister Cecilia

Vacation Bible School

Climb Aboard for Rocky Railway VBS! At this summer’s VBS, kids of all ages can travel with us

(safely, from a distance) at Rocky Railway and explore

Jesus’ power in them and how we can trust Jesus — not

our own strength — to pull us through life’s challenges.

COVID-19 has come through our lives like a freight train

and derailed countless plans, routines, and expectations.

This summer, more than ever, the children in our parish

community need the hope, reassurance, and abundance

of God’s love through the unique ministry of VBS.

HOW will this work?

Parish staff, seminarians, priests, and your favorite VBS

leaders from past years have been working hard to create

a video-based Vacation Bible School experience that

your children can participate in safely from home. We

are doing our best to make it clever and entertaining as

well as faith-filled, with all of the usual daily colors,

themes, music, and everything else that makes VBS such

a delight each year! All VBS videos will be available at

the parish website and at YouTube, and your children can

watch and participate in activities such as:

Sing & Play Express • Imagination Station

Bible Adventures • KidVid™ Cinema • Caboose Crafts

Chew Chew Snacks • Loco Motion Games

Check out our conductor Sister Cecilia’s welcome video!

WHEN is VBS?

Our target VBS date is the week of August 3-7, but your

family can participate at any time.

“Rock out” at Rocky Railway! One of the best parts about every VBS is the award-

winning music! Rocky Railway has fun, uplifting songs

that your kids (and you!) will want to listen to again and

again — sure to become a new family fave!

Experiencing God’s Word At Rocky Railway, one memorable Bible Point is

reinforced throughout each daily activity — making it

easy to apply long after VBS is over, and the Bible points

are very relevant for our current times.

Example from DAY 1:

Jesus’ power helps us do hard things. Trust Jesus!

“For I can do everything through Christ,

who gives me strength.” Phil 4:13

Bible story: Ananias helps Saul. (Acts 9:1-19)

HOW can my family participate? If your family would like to have the inspirational VBS

music CD and the official VBS supplies and materials,

you can sign up easily online with a $20 fee per family at

www.shgparish.org/vbs.

You can sample the music and get a video overview of

Rocky Railway VBS on that same webpage

(www.shgparish.org/vbs). OR if you prefer, simply tune

in to VBS for free and participate in the videos any time

in August at www.shgparish.org/vbs.

All are welcome to participate! Do you have relatives

or friends from out of state or even out of the country

who might be interested? Invite them to join us!

For more information about Vacation Bible School,

please contact Sister Cecilia at 410-833-8515 or

Anointing of the Sick

In case of emergency call the Parish Office/Rectory at anytime. Please notify the Parish Office if you know someone in the hospital or at home who wishes to be anointed. Masses of Anointing are celebrated several times a year.

Rite of Christian

Initiation of Adults “Thirsting for God?” Do you know someone not baptized or baptized in a non-Catholic Christian tradition who is thirsting for what it means to become Catholic?

Do you know someone already Catholic but has not yet received Confirmation and Communion? They may be thirsting, too! The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a place to ask questions and seek understanding.

The RCIA is a Church rite for adults pursuing the possibility of joining the Roman Catholic Church. If you, or someone you know, are interested or would like more information, please contact Michele Hunter at 410-833-1696 or

Social Justice and Respect Life

Annual Jessica Meredith Jacobsen 5K Memorial Run Please “save the date” for the 13th Annual Jessica Meredith Jacobsen 5K Memorial Run and Fun Walk on Saturday, September 19 at the Immaculate Conception Church (112 Ware Avenue in Towson) at 8:00 AM. This race has been organized by the Knights of Columbus Council #4011 (Fr. O’Neill Council) in Lutherville and memorializes Jessica Meredith Jacobsen, who died tragically in 2007 as a result of domestic abuse. The event supports The House of Ruth, the Catholic School Tuition Assistance Fund, and Fr. O’Neill Charities. You may register at https://runsignup.com/Race/MD/Towson/JessicaMeredithJacobsenMemorial5kandFunWalk.

Laudato si’ Year for the Catholic Church

To commemorate the fifth anniversary of his encyclical Laudato si’, Pope Francis announced that the period between May 24, 2020 and May 24, 2021 will be designated as Laudato si’ Year for the Catholic Church, and he released a special prayer. During this year, Sacred Heart Parish will provide weekly excerpts from the encyclical with reflection questions as a way for parishioners to participate in this global commemoration. To read and reflect on the full encyclical, click below:

Laudato si’ in English • Laudato si’ in Spanish

Pollution, waste and the throwaway culture: Each year hundreds of millions of tons of waste are generated, much of it non-biodegradable, highly toxic, and radioactive — from homes and businesses, from construction and demolition sites, from clinical, electronic, and industrial sources. The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth. (LS #21)

• This week, notice how you participate in the “throwaway” culture. What paper and plastic items do you use once and throw away?

• Take a walk in your neighborhood on trash day. Remind yourself that most of this trash will end up in a landfill somewhere. There is no “away” to throw anything.

Holy Innocents Ministry to Families

Who Have Lost Children to Miscarriage

In this time of grief, come to the Church. In these days following your loss, let us help you bury your child and offer you comfort, hope, and peace. Know that your child is with God. If you are miscarrying or have experienced a miscarriage and would like advice about 1) what to do next; 2) to schedule a home visit; 3) information about burial and memorial options; or 4) spiritual and emotional support, please contact the Archdiocese of Baltimore Holy Innocents Ministry helpline at 410-547-3142 or [email protected]. Holy Innocents Ministry burial and memorial service is for children lost through miscarriage or pregnancy loss. Families whose children will be buried by Holy Innocents Ministry will gather for a service on Saturday, September 26 at 11:00 AM at the Holy Cross Cemetery at 6020 Ritchie Highway in Baltimore. Others are welcome to attend and pray for the families or for past pregnancy loss.

There will also be a Holy Innocents Ministry’s Vespers Service on Sunday, November 1 from 4:00 ‒ 6:00 PM at Our Lady of Victory Parish (4414 Wilkens Avenue in Catonsville).

Quo Vadis Summer Days for High School Boys

Quo Vadis Days offer high school aged young men a unique opportunity.

Join Fr. Steven Roth and the seminarians of the Archdiocese of Baltimore in a series of one-day events held at

various locations around the Archdiocese. Meet other high school aged young men and explore what it

means to answer the universal Christian call to holiness. Play hard and pray hard! Grow in your faith

together through prayer and small group discussions, participate in sports and activities, and share in meals

and fellowship with other like-minded young men your age. Social distancing will be enforced.

Quo Vadis will be held in 6 different locations this year — you pick the day and location to register.

Registration is at https://www.bmorevocations.org/quo-vadis/fiat-qv-camps/.

EACH COUNTY’S MOST CURRENT GUIDELINES

WILL BE FOLLOWED THROUGHOUT QUO VADIS DAYS.

Goal: To have young men ask substantial questions about what is most important in their lives.

What is Quo Vadis? Quo Vadis is a three-day encounter for high school aged boys — hosted by the

seminarians of the Archdiocese — aimed at helping them mature in their faith, deepen their desire for

holiness, and explore the particular vocation through which God is calling them to pursue holiness. Quo

Vadis doesn’t just aim to recruit men to the priesthood. Quo Vadis aims to encourage young men to

respond with generosity in freedom to what God is calling them to do with their lives.

What should you expect? Three days of talks, prayer, and fraternity that will help each young man

learn where they can find meaning in their life. Three days with priests, seminarians, and other young

men who are trying to follow Christ. Three days of peace and relaxation away from the past months of

Zooming for school and stressors of pandemic family life to help each young man see the places where

God is working in his life.

Who is this for? Quo Vadis isn’t just for young men who are considering a priestly vocation. Quo

Vadis is for any young man who wants Christ and the Church to be a part of his life. This is an encounter

for young men in the Archdiocese who want to strengthen their relationship with Christ and the Church

and would like to spend time with other young men, seminarians, and priests who want to do the same.

What Quo Vadis isn’t: This is not a summer day camp for recruiting future priests. Our goal is to give

a young man a few days’ time to think, pray, and reflect on how God works in his life and on how he will

build on that foundation going forward. When or if the question of vocation arises, it will be because

the young man himself has discovered it being proposed to him from within.

Parental involvement: Quo Vadis works best when it involves the whole family. Our hope is that

Quo Vadis will help families to see that talk of God, the Church, and vocation is something thoroughly

normal — not something uncomfortable or extraordinary.

Let us know what support you need. If you need more information about the encounter, or if

there are financial constraints or special circumstances that might prevent a young man from attending,

we are here to help. We want any young man who wants to attend Quo Vadis to be able to do so.

the-vocations-office/, or you can call 410-547-5426.
