Sacred Heart Catholic Church Fourteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time–July 9, 2017

Reflection from the Pastor:

The month of July is traditionally dedicated to devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus.

Before the revision of the Roman calendar in 1969, July 1st was the Feast of the Most

Previous Blood of Jesus. Although that feast is no longer obligatory to celebrate, the Roman

Missal includes a beautiful votive Mass of the Precious Blood. Why should we have a

devotion to the Precious Blood? Simply put, it is through the shed Blood of Jesus that we

have been saved. Our Lord offered Himself completely to God the Father on our behalf and

we participate in that offering through our sharing in his Passion, Death and Resurrection in

the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Because we esteem the Precious Blood of Our Lord as the

price of our salvation, I encourage all of you to take special care never to call the Precious

Blood of Our Lord “the wine”. After the Consecration, there is no more wine, only the

Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord is present sacramentally.

Here is a prayer that you can pray during this month:

Lord Jesus, lover of the whole human race,

You shed Your Precious Blood for us on the Cross

and renew this offering without ceasing on our altars

for us and for our salvation

Remember us in all our needs,

save us from the time of trial

and deliver us from the evil one.

You live and reign, now and forever. Amen.

St. Vincent de Paul “I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like,

but when we die and it comes time for God to

judge us, he will NOT ask, How many good

things have you done in your life?, rather he will ask,

How much LOVE did you put into what you did?”

-St. Mother Teresa

SAN VICENTE DE PAUL - St. Mother Teresa

Meditación del Párroco:

El mes de julio es tradicionalmente dedicado a la devoción a la Preciosísima Sangre de Jesús. Antes de la revisión del calendario romano en 1969, el 1

de julio fue la Fiesta de la Preciosísima Sangre de Jesús. A pesar de que esa fiesta ya no es obligatoria para celebrar, el Misal Romano incluye una

hermosa Misa votiva de la Preciosísima Sangre. ¿Por qué deberíamos tener una devoción a la Preciosísima Sangre? En pocas palabras, es a través de

la Sangre de Jesús que hemos sido salvos. Nuestro Señor se ofreció completamente a Dios Padre en nuestro nombre y participamos en esa ofrenda

compartiendo su Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección en el Santo Sacrificio de la Misa. Porque estimamos la Preciosísima Sangre de Nuestro Señor como el

precio de nuestra Salvación, yo animo a todos vosotros a tener especial cuidado de nunca llamar a la Preciosísima Sangre de Nuestro Señor "el vino".

Después de la Consagración, no hay más vino, sólo el Cuerpo, Sangre, Alma y Divinidad de Nuestro Señor está presente sacramentalmente. He aquí

una oración que podéis orar durante este mes:

Señor Jesús, amante de toda la raza humana, Tú derramaste tu Preciosísima Sangre por nosotros en la Cruz y renuevas esta ofrenda sin cesar en

nuestros altares para nosotros y para nuestra salvación. Recuérdanos en todas nuestras necesidades, sálvanos del juicio y líbranos del maligno. Tu

que vives y reinas, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
