Please join us in prayer this week for :
Seventh Sunday of Easter Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church May
13, 2018
From the Pastor: Fr. Donald Haggerty, a priest of this diocese
currently assigned to
St. Patrick’s Cathedral, has a meditation on today’s Gospel
that
might help bring you deeper into its prayer about being
consecrated
in the truth:
Without a yearning for truth cultivated and deeply embedded
in
our character, we can easily be swept up in current intellectual
fashions…. At some point a soul must have, on the contrary, a
profound experience of the sacred, which by its nature is
always
an incomplete taste, provoking a desire to know more. This need
is
fundamental for religious faith.
The contemplative life in one sense is an ongoing
intensification of this initial encounter with sacredness. The
indestructible drawing
power of the sacred, rooted in changeless truth, carries the
con-
templative life forward. Intellectual fashion will seem quite
unsub-
stantial and flimsy against this far deeper attraction for the
soul.
Fr. Haggerty’s reflection is excerpted in this month’s
Magnificat magazine and comes from his book The Contemplative
Hunger,
from Ignatius Press. The magazine, the book, and Fr.
Haggerty’s
latest book on Conversion are all good nourishment if you’re
look-
ing for spiritual reading to help enter deeper into the
contemplative
life.
How many times a day do we “zone out” on social media or
televi-
sion or other distractions? How can we change from living a
series
of lost opportunities for union with God to something more like
the
ceaseless prayer we’re called to? Choose carefully from minute
to
minute and let your love for the Lord guide you to spend more
time
with Him.
With love and Prayers,

Meditation from St. Philip Neri
To strengthen his media!on, Pope Francis recounted an episode of
the life of St Philip Neri. “A woman went to confess, and she
confessed of having gossiped”. Then “the saint, who was cheerful,
good, also gener-ous, told her: ‘Madam, as penance, before I give
you absolu!on, go home, pick up a chicken, pluck the chicken, then
go through the neighbourhood and sca"er the chicken feathers
throughout the neighbourhood, and then come back”. The next day,
Francis con!nued, “the lady returned: ‘I did it, Father, will you
give me absolu-!on?’”. St Philip Neri responded eloquently: “No,
there is something missing, Madam. Go throughout the neighbourhood
and pick up all the feathers”, because “this is how gossip is: it
sullies the other person”. Indeed, the Pope added, “those who
gossip, sully, destroy the reputa!on, destroy the life and o%en
without reason, contrary to the truth”. This is why “Jesus prayed
for us, for all of us who are here and for our communi!es, for our
parishes, for our dioceses: ‘that they may be one’”.

[email protected] 845.825.7281 Guidelines for Reserving
Masses
We are happy to share that the guidelines for reserving Mass-es,
now in place, have made it possible for many more mem-bers of our
parish family to remember their loved ones on days and dates that
are meaningful for them. Your understanding and support is
sincerely appreciated. In the Chris!an spirit of loving and helping
each other, please note the following:
1. With the agreement of both persons who are reques!ng a Mass,
the Mass can be offered for TWO inten!ons. When you come to the
rectory to request a Mass you will be asked if you would agree to
sharing that Mass with someone else for whom that day is
significant. If you do, a note will be made in the Mass book. The
Mass is a most powerful prayer and God will bless your kindness,
understanding and generosity of spirit.
2. To make it possible for as many members of our parish family
as possible to remember their loved ones on days and dates that are
meaningful for them, during the first week the Mass book is open:
a) An individual or household may reserve up to three weekend
Masses.
b) For weekday Masses, including Saturday at 9 AM, an
indi-vidual or household may reserve up to four Masses for the same
individual on the same day of the week at the same me. ( Ex. Up to
4 Masses on Thursdays at 8 am for Joe Smith)
3. You may call the rectory (359-1230) during business hours to
reserve a Mass and then follow up with your dona!on. Please
remember, however, that when the Mass book first opens there may be
significant wait !me as the secretary a'ends to those in the
office. Thank you for your understanding!
