Sacred Heart Parish— Inclement Weather Policy If school is canceled due to bad weather, daily morning Mass

and all events in the Parish Center are cancelled.

Live the Liturgy—Inspiration for the week... We never marginalize or turn our backs on those who suffer

violence, oppression from unjust systems, poverty, illness, or

disease. Jesus never turned anyone away, but always extended

a hand of healing and compassion. He would insist on extend-

ing God's merciful and unconditional love to all, even if it

meant breaking the Sabbath or civil law. Does the way we

treat others, especially those who are different than us, reflect

the freedom, joy, love, and good news of the Gospel?

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP - RECOGNIZE GOD IN

YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS

If you witnessed a miracle, wouldn't you want to tell every-

one? If you saw the sun dance in the sky, a crippled man

walk, or the Virgin Mary appear in front of you, wouldn't

you just want to shout about it from a rooftop so all could

hear? Maybe you would be afraid others would not believe

you. You might choose instead to keep it to yourself to

avoid criticism and ridicule. At least, if you saw a miracle,

you would have a choice: to tell or not to tell.

Yet, at every Mass we witness a miracle. We witness bread

and wine as it becomes the true presence of Jesus Christ. It

isn't a saint or Mary appearing before us; it is actually Je-

sus! When was the last time you told anybody about that

miracle?

It might not be easy for us to always talk about our faith,

but we can show them. When we receive the Eucharist into

our bodies, we become one with Christ. We go forth from

the Mass as a living testimony of the miracle that occurred

at Mass. People will not be able to simply look at us and

see the evidence. We need to demonstrate to them the real-

ity of this miracle by our good deeds and profound acts of

charity. That is stewardship. That is bearing witness to the

truth of our God being truly present to us. It is something

we should want to share with everyone.

LENT: Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Season

of Lent . For those who desire, on that day foreheads will

be marked with a cross of ashes as a sign of Penance. The

Church asks us to pay attention to three specific areas in our

Life with God:

UPWARD: Can I make it a point as I pray to quiet my

heart and try to sense God’s love?

INWARD: Will I try to forgive people today, or will I let

resentment get the upper hands?

OUTWARD: Can I become just a bit more loving toward

other people today?

This is the good news of Lent: God sees you! God knows

you! God is committed to you! God loves you!

―Thank you, Father, that you see me with love. Help me

gaze at you this Lent.‖

From “The Word Among Us”

ioners connect the celebration of the Eucharist more closely

with the mission of Jesus Christ and the Church, and inspire

them to live more intentionally as missionary disciples of

Jesus during the week.

February 11…. WHY DO WE DO THAT? -

CATHOLIC TRADITIONS EXPLAINED

Question: Carnivale and Mardi Gras celebrations are

linked to Ash Wednesday, Lent, fast and abstinence. Can

you tell us more about the connections between these

events?

Answer: Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the forty

days known as Lent. Every year, Christians highlight this

penitential season as a time of self-examination, reforma-

tion of one's life, and continued development of a deeper

spiritual life. The recommended practices of prayer, fast-

ing, and almsgiving become the focus of Lenten activity

and ritual. Each of these spiritual practices is aimed at

personal discipline as well as continued concern for the

other, especially the poor or alienated.

Forty days is a symbolic biblical period of time, during

which personal transformation occurs and out of which

people surface as more spiritual, ready to carry out God's

mission. Relying on God's providence and care, no matter

how difficult life becomes, is crucial to Lenten spiritual-

ity. Fasting was initially stricter, permitting only one sim-

ple meal a day without meat, fish, or other delicacies.

Such things were not even allowed in the house.

In order to prepare for this in an age of no refrigeration,

people gathered to consume whatever was not allowed

during Lent. This led to parties or celebrations originally

referred to as Carnivale, literally meaning "goodbye to

meat," or Mardi Gras, literally meaning "Fat Tuesday."

The eating and celebrating ended on the Tuesday just be-

fore Ash Wednesday. Today we focus more on modera-

tion in all things, as well as a strong concern the poor.

What are you doing for the poor this Lent?

Our ―Sisters in Stitches‖ Ministry meets every Monday afternoon around 2:00. New members or drop in guests are always welcome. Bring your needles (crochet or knit-

ting) and come and join this great, fun ministry.

(2 Corinthians 10:12)

The Parishioners of Sacred Heart gave 2,000 food items and

$550.00 for our Lake George Schools Backpack Program.

The backpack Program for children in need at our Lake George

Schools have seen their numbers surge almost double since start-

ing the program in January 2016. However, with the generous

donations from parishioner’s, the schools have been able to fill

backpacks with food on a weekly basis, they have even been able

to send extra food home for these children when there is a week-

long school break.

No child should go hungry. Without your continuous sup-

port, none of this would be possible. Even so, it is not

my Father’s will that even one of these little ones

should perish. (Matthew 18:14)

The HARK Ministry meets every 3rd Wednesday at 10 am in

the parish center, all are welcome.
