MASS INTENTIONS & MINISTRIES - Sacred Heart Church

Holy Family Sunday—December 30, 2018

SPECIAL APPEAL--UPDATE We requested a grant from an anonymous foundation a couple months ago. It has led us to a challenge, and it’s going extremely well so far: some $46,000 has been given. We asked the foundation for help catching up on three specific expenses but this appeal to the parish focuses on one of them: Fire Marshall Ordered us to fix deficiencies in the gym and our old hall that add up to at least $64,000. After our new hall was done last summer the Fire Marshall inspected the older part of the building and came up with this list for our safety. Please use the envelope attached to this bulletin to contribute. If you would like to be part of this effort before year’s end please be sure to write a date bearing the year 2018 and turn it in on time for tax purposes. We will conclude the appeal on January 31st, 2019. If there are leftover funds or late donations generated by this campaign they will be deposited to the construction bank account we still use for our future church. If you would like to designate a gift towards parish expenses, feel free to do so.

DO NOT SALT OUR NEW CONCRETE THIS WINTER—it will

damage it! Thank you.

Go to www.formed.og to register for a paid-up membership that gives you access to things like the Symbolon video series. Once you’ve seen it you’ll be a much more informed Catholic who can answer other people’s questions about your Faith because you understand it.

Share Formed and Symbolon with your family and let’s get lots of use from our membership.

COLLECTION ENVELOPE DO’S AND DON’TS Please consider the people who count the collection each week. Here are a couple things you can do to make their job easier: Don’t combine multiple items on one check. Often this means cashing the check and separating monies for different things which makes errors more common. Don’t put tape, seals, glue or staples on your envelope. We need that envelope to be in good shape while it’s kept in storage for a year and it often gets shredded in the process. Do give according to your means—if your income has risen or fallen, the amount you give to church and charities should change, too. Thank you!

OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE CELEBRATION: El día Miercoles 12 de diciembre a las 3:30 de la mañana se dará inicio al Rosario y a las 4:00 las mañanitas, terminando las mañanitas alrededor de las 5:00 de la mañana, tendremos la celebración de la Misa. Por la tarde daremos inicio con el rosario a las 6:00 p.m., seguido de la danza a la virgen y a las 7:00 tendremos la celebración de la Misa. Despues de la Misa invitamos a todos a ir al Nuevo Salon Parroquial para celebrar una cena de "Traje". Se pide que todos traigan algun platillo para compartir. Que Dios los bendiga. A GRANT PROPOSAL WE SUBMITTED to an (anonymous) foundation has come back to us with a challenge: they will match us 1 to 1 for every dollar we contribute. We asked the foundation for help catching up on three specific expenses but this appeal to the parish focuses on one of them: Fire Marshall Orders about deficiencies we must soon correct in the gym and our old hall that add up to $64,000.

If there are leftover funds generated by this campaign they will be deposited to the bank account we still have for our future church’s construction. FUNERALS got a lot of attention this past week. It’s a good chance to review policies and procedures. First things first, and most important: let’s talk about what should happen before death. If you find out someone’s life is in danger “call the priest”. If they have been away from Church and the sacraments for years, “call the priest”. If they were never Catholic but want a priest, “call the priest”. You get the idea. It’s a good idea to pre-plan your funeral, whether or not you want to pre-pay a funeral home. Choose a cemetery and purchase a plot/s. Write a rough draft of your obituary. Get the names and events down the way you want them. For the funeral itself: plan to have a Rosary/vigil the night before and a funeral Mass the next day. This lets people be there who can’t take off from work on a weekday. Every Catholic Mass is the public worship of the Church, so popular music and personal touches are excluded. Let’s use two examples of property to explain: you are welcome to paint the front door of your (private) house orange, but if you paint (public) City Hall’s front door orange you might be given an orange jumpsuit! Eulogies, stories and favorite music belong at the vigil, and not in the Mass. Family members can speak first and then if desired others may be given ‘open mike’ to say things about the deceased. At the funeral Mass it’s best not to choose family members to read because the emotions of the moment can surprise and embarrass.

perdonar a esa persona que más me ha herido en mi

vida. Pido perdonar a mi peor enemigo, la persona

dicho que nunca la perdonaría. "Gracias Jesús,

YEAR-END GIVING When the collection plate passes and the person next to you doesn’t add to it, have you ever wondered to yourself, “ are they giving to the parish?” Only they know for sure. If you haven’t used an option like online giving, ACH, grain or other in-kind donation please consider making a sacrificial gift to your parish at the end of the year before January 1st. For tax purposes you need proof that the donation was made before year’s end. Group 4 is in charge of CLEANING CHURCH FOR DECEMBER. Leader is Lori Manson (826-2664).

Look for your name on list on the church bulletin board or in the parish handbook.

TABITHA HOSPICE is looking for you to volunteer to make a difference for others at the end of their life on Earth. Training is provided. If interested please contact Susan Stearns at 402 362-7739 for more information. WHEN SHALL WE BUILD A CHURCH? The one we use now was dedicated 125 years ago on June 11, 1893. Our plan is to connect our new parish hall with a breezeway to the new church which will be built on the field where the playground and basketball court is right now. As with the new building we just completed, we must first have all funds in hand before construction begins—we cannot borrow such an amount. Our last good estimate for building a new church was in the neighborhood of $5 million. Many of you continue to contribute towards this and now we have around $11,000 in that fund. Thank you again to so many of you who sacrificed, gave money and prayed for the success of the project we have just finished! ONLINE GIVING TO YOUR PARISH If you would like to use online giving go to our parish website www.sacred-heart-crete.org and download and fill out the form titled “ACH Giving” (available in PDF format) and return it in the Sunday collection or mail it to our parish office: 515 E. 14th Street, Crete, NE 68333. You may do this for the Sunday collection or use it to donate towards the construction of our future church. Thank you for exercising good, responsible stewardship in this way.

FROM SOMEONE WHO HAD AN ABORTION…“[The abortion] gave me grief and sorrow beyond expression. I was petrified to tell anyone. I have committed the most heinous of all crimes. Yet, the Lord forgave me, just as he forgave Paul. Yet I will always regret what I did and will probably always feel grief. But I pray that my experience can somehow prevent other women from making the same fatal mistake. I’m a nurse now, so I wear my uniform to all the pro-life things I do! It helps.” Forgiveness and healing are available. Visit www.RachelsVineyard.org. DE PARTE DE ALGUIEN QUE TUVO UN ABORTO “[El aborto] me dio un sufrimiento y un dolor que van más allá de las palabras. Estaba petrificada de decirle a alguien. Yo había cometido el más monstruoso de los crímenes. Pero aun así el Señor me perdonó, así como perdonó a Pablo. Pero yo siempre me lamentaré de lo que hice y probablemente siempre sentiré dolor. Pero yo rezo para que mi experiencia pueda de algún modo prevenir a otras mujeres de cometer el mismo error fatal. ¡Ahora soy enfermera, por tanto visto mi uniforme en todas las cosas pro-vida que hago! Esto ayuda.” El perdón y la sanación están disponibles. Visite www.RachelsVineyard.org.

OUR FALL DINNER IS TODAY SUNDAY Nov. 4th. As a courtesy to our guests from outside the parish, please consider parking in the north lot at 14th & Ivy. Thanks! WE WELCOME BISHOP CONLEY TODAY for 9am Sunday Mass and the blessing of our new parish hall immediately afterward. Then this afternoon at 3:00pm in Lincoln Bishop Conley will lead a EUCHARISTIC PROCESSION AROUND THE STATE CAPITOL BUILDING beginning at 3 PM. The goal is 5,500 Catholics praying for Peace and Unity. Please email us at [email protected] to take part. See the invitation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN2KdrmSGtI VOTE THIS TUESDAY! “We encourage all citizens, particularly Catholics, to embrace their citizenship not merely as a duty and privilege, but as an opportunity meaningfully to participate in building the culture of life. Every voice matters in the public forum. Every vote counts. Every act of responsible citizenship is an exercise of significant individual power. We must exercise that power in ways that defend human life, especially those of God's children who are unborn, disabled or otherwise vulnerable. We get the public officials we deserve. Their virtue -- or lack thereof -- is a judgment not only on them, but on us. Because of this, we urge our fellow citizens to see beyond party politics, to analyze campaign rhetoric critically, and to choose their political leaders according to principle, not party affiliation or mere self-interest” (US Bishops, Living the Gospel of Life, #34). Animamos a todos los ciudadanos, especialmente a los católicos, que consideren su ciudadanía no sólo como un deber y un privilegio, sino como una oportunidad para participar con gran sentido en la edificación de la cultura de la vida.

cuentan en el foro público. Todos los votos cuentan. Todos los actos de ciudadanía responsable son un ejercicio de gran valor individual. Debemos ejercer ese poder de manera que defienda la vida humana, especialmente la de los hijos de Dios que no han nacido, que son minusválidos o indefensos. Las autoridades públicas que tenemos son las que nos merecemos. Su virtud –o falta de ella– es un juicio no sólo sobre ellos, sino sobre nosotros. Por eso, urgimos a nuestros hermanos ciudadanos que vayan más allá de la política partidista, que analicen las promesas de las campañas con un ojo crítico y que escojan sus dirigentes políticos según su principio, no su afiliación política o el interés propio. Bishop Conley is encouraging the faithful to CONSECRATE/RE-CONSECRATE YOURSELF TO JESUS THROUGH MARY according to the method of St. Louis DeMontfort on Dec 8th, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. The 33 day preparation period begins tomorrow November 5th. To that end, the Rosary Crusade (specifically Br. Julian, KHE) has made video meditations for each day as a way to go deeper with our consecration this year. Bishop’s appeal to make the consecration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VjPr70TefQ WE MADE IT! Our contributions to the Bishop’s Appeal for Vocations are above our parish’s share of $8,640.00. Thank you, thank you for this strong show of generosity; please pray daily for our 42 young seminarians. Nov. 6th is Election Day!

Brothers and sisters: Every high priest is taken from among men and made their representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal patiently with the ignorant and erring, for he himself is beset by weakness.

Heb 5:1 Hermanos: Todo sumo sacerdote es un hombre escogido entre los hombres y está constituido para intervenir en favor de ellos ante Dios, para ofrecer dones y sacrificios por los pecados. Él puede comprender a los ignorantes y extraviados, ya que él mismo está envuelto en debilidades.


LDCCW OCTOBER PRO-LIFE DIAPER DRIVE One of the non-truths in the abortion debate is the notion that pro-life advocates care about the child in the womb and do nothing for pregnant women or for the children once born. The Diaper Drive is a great opportunity to support the women that choose life rather than abortion. Let’s all work together to make this Pro-Life Diaper Drive a great success. Listen to Spirit Catholic Radio for Diaper Drive announcements.

WHERE DO YOU TAKE YOUR $$$?

Vacation, new cell phone, shopping for shoes.

LDCCW OCTOBER PRO-LIFE DIAPER DRIVE The Lincoln Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (LDCCW) is sponsoring the 9th Annual October Pro-Life Diaper Drive, collecting diapers throughout the month of October in each of the Lincoln Diocese parishes. A baby in one year will use approximately 2,100 diapers, that’s an average of only 6 diapers per day. The LDCCW goal is to collect 90,000

General Fund available money for the Church and School is $21,938.18 as of last Friday, October 12th. We owe $414.04 for regular bills this coming week and Payroll Estimate of $16,100.00.

He was a man many of you remember who served us a Pope in the 1960’s and 70’s and who courageously wrote Humanae Vitae—Google it and read it! You’ll be amazed at how many things he said that have come true. Today in Rome he is being proclaimed a saint, which means we are convinced that he is in Heaven and we may publicly ask him to pray for us. Please ask his prayers for our culture which has fallen into the very sins he warned us against—contraception, divorce, abortion, in vitro fertilization, gender dysphoria and the many other things that take us farther from God and put us under Satan’s dominion. SAN OSCAR ROMERO! Hoy proclamo el Santo Padre al Obispo Salvadoreño que es santo oficial. Demos gracias a Dios por sus triunfos en nuestros tiempos! El Mons. Romero apoyaba a la gente pobre y perseguida y resistió al gobierno que al final decidió a ultimarlo. “Brothers and sisters: Indeed the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.” Hermanos: La palabra de Dios es viva, eficaz y más penetrante que una espada de dos filos. Llega hasta lo más íntimo del alma, hasta la médula de los huesos y descubre los pensamientos e intenciones del corazón. Heb 4, 12

PADRES DE ESTUDIANTES EN NUESTRA ESCUELA Saben que los gastos son mucho más que los ingresos de matrícula? Uds. pagan no más que $975/hijo por ano, pero cuesta alrededor de $5,000!

Se permite concebir afuera del seno? Así contesta la Iglesia Católica: El hijo tiene derecho a ser concebido, llevado en

las entrañas, traído al mundo y educado en el matrimonio: sólo a través de la referencia conocida y segura a sus

padres pueden los hijos descubrir la propia identidad y alcanzar la madurez humana. –desde la instrucción Donum

Vitae (El Don de la Vida), 1987

People often ask: is IVF (in vitro fertilization) morally acceptable? Here is part of the Catholic Church’s answer: “The

child has the right to be conceived, carried in the womb, brought into the world and brought up within marriage: it is

through the secure and recognized relationship to his own parents that the child can discover his own identity and

achieve his own proper human development.” --from the 1987 instruction Donum Vitae (“The Gift of Life”)

2018 PADRES DE ESTUDIANTES EN NUESTRA ESCUELA Saben que los gastos son mucho más que los ingresos de matrícula? Uds. pagan no más que $975/hijo por ano, pero cuesta alrededor de $5,000!

deep love for every person it is possible instead to put into practice effective forms of service to life: to newborn life and to life marked by marginalization or suffering, especially in its terminal phase. The Virgin Mary received with perfect love the Word of life, Jesus Christ, who came into the world so that human beings might "have life... abundantly" (Jn 10: 10). Let us entrust to her expectant mothers, families, health-care workers and volunteers who are committed in so many ways to the service of life. Let us pray in particular for people in the most difficult situations” (Angelus, February 5, 2006). PAPA BENEDICTO XVI SOBRE LA VIDA… “Nosotros estamos bien conscientes que con mucha frecuencia… la vida se exalta mientras es placentera, pero se tiende a dejar de respetarla cuando está enferma o disminuida. En cambio, partiendo del amor profundo a toda persona, es posible realizar formas eficaces de servicio a la vida: tanto a la que nace como a la que está marcada por la marginación o el sufrimiento, especialmente en su fase terminal. La Virgen María acogió con amor perfecto al Verbo de la vida, Jesucristo, que vino al mundo para que los hombres "tengan vida en abundancia" (Jn. 10, 10). A ella le encomendamos a las mujeres embarazadas, a las familias, a los agentes sanitarios y a los voluntarios comprometidos de muchos modos al servicio de la vida. Oremos, en particular, por las personas que se encuentran en situaciones de mayor dificultad.” (Ángelus, Febrero 5, 2006) IT’S YOUR RIGHT AND YOUR REPSONSIBILITY as a citizen to vote in elections.

Two of our School Sisters of Christ the King will teach these classes. First Confession is scheduled for Saturday February 23rd 2019 at 10:00am. Confirmation will be given at Mass Tuesday, March 19th at 7:00pm. First Holy Communion will be on Saturday April 6th 2019 at 10:30am.

Our Church has a Divine soul—the Holy Spirit—and human faces. Since Holy Thursday night when the apostle Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus we have had to face the sad consequences of human weakness. The current crisis is provoked by something far uglier than selling out for money though. Sexual misconduct scandalizes us more when it is committed by men who pledged chastity for the Kingdom of God. The only way forward is to denounce it and to seek justice for perpetrators and their victims. If you know of any such crime, even if it happened long ago, report it to civil authorities—the police. Let us pray for purification, justice and healing. IT TAKES ABOUT $8,500 PER WEEK from the collection to operate our parish plant…

Hermanos: Tengan cuidado de portarse no como insensatos, sino como prudentes, aprovechando el momento presente, porque los tiempos son malos.

Eph. 5:15 Brothers and sisters: Watch carefully how you live, not as foolish persons but as wise, making the most of the opportunity, because the days are evil.

Declaración de Monseñor Conley del 10 de agosto del 2018 en Wahoo, NE

Les agradezco la invitación de dirigirme a algunos asuntos recientes de la Diócesis de Lincoln,

los que implican ofensas de la parte de varios presbíteros.

Dichos alegatos han tenido por resultado que se inició una revisión rigurosa de nuestras políticas

y procedimientos en cuanto nuestra respuesta a alegatos contra sacerdotes diocesanos.

Comunicándome con ustedes acerca de estos alegatos en una carta pronunciada desde el púlpito

el domingo pasado, les prometí a ustedes estar transparente en lo que me entero de estos alegatos

y en la manera de indagar alegatos futuros de conducta inadecuada de parte de los sacerdotes.

Hasta ahora ya he emprendido las medidas a continuación:

Entregué a la Comisión revisora diocesana algunos casos que les expondré brevemente con

ustedes esta noche. Me reuní con la Comisión revisora el martes pasado y volveré a reunirme con

ella el lunes para pedir asesoramiento más extenso.

Yo celebré y prediqué en todas las Misas del fin de semana pasado en la Parroquia de San Pedro.

Y el lunes por la tarde celebré una sesión de escucha ante quinientas personas en San Pedro. Se

trató de la conducta del Padre Townsend. Se me comunicaron con claridad y candor que desean

la trasparencia y la imparcialidad; y esta es mi promesa con ustedes y con todos los fieles de la

diócesis de aquí en adelante.

Reuní un grupo de asesores de rango superior para que me ayuden a evaluar los alegatos de

abuso. Los asesores comprenden algunos de mi equipo diocesano, oficiales de la Arquidiócesis

de Omaha y un experto en la salud mental.

Esta transparencia e imparcialidad que les prometo abarcará una revisión rigurosa de nuestras

políticas y procedimientos para un ambiente seguro, la que se realizará por un investigador

externo. La investigación comprenderá una indagación del sucedido más reciente con el Padre

Townsend; una evaluación de mis empleados y su respuesta a alguna denuncia contra un

presbítero por conducta inapropiada; y una evaluación de su servidor, en cuanto mi respuesta y

presteza a algún alegato de abuso sexual.

Por último y a lo mejor de más importancia, vuelvo a manifestar mi remordimiento por mi forma

de responder a los alegatos de conducta inapropiada contra los presbíteros de Lincoln.

Esperanzado les pido perdón a ustedes.

Esta noche quiero comentar particular y brevemente cuatro casos. Tengan por favor por

entendido que el asunto del Padre Townsend se está investigando activamente, por eso hay

límites de cuánto les puedo informar.

Acerca del Padre Townsend: el Presbítero Charles Townsend ha renunciado su cargo parroquial.

El asunto se ha denunciado con las autoridades y no puedo comentar más por razón de la

investigación. Les informaré más extensamente al llevar a cabo las indagaciones tanto civil como

eclesiástica.

Acerca del Padre Barvick: Dije anteriormente al Presbítero Patrick Barvick que no debiera estar

solo con mujeres. Su conducta me preocupa a mí a la Comisión revisora diocesana. Le he pedido

que se haga a un lado temporalmente en su parroquia mientras que evalúo las circunstancias. El

Presbítero Cyrus Rowan se encargará de la parroquia en espera del resultado de la evaluación.

Acerca del Padre Thomlinson: Al curso de una reunión con el Presbítero Steve Thomlison en que

se comentaba un incidente anterior en las fuerzas armadas, el que me preocupé a mí y a la

Comisión revisora, el Padre entregó su renuncia de párroco de San Esteban en Exeter y San

Wenceslao en Milligan. Quiero dejar en claro que la conducta del Padre Thomlinson no

implicaba una ofensa contra un menor de edad ni un feligrés. En efecto, al Padre se le otorgó un

licenciamiento honroso de la milicia. Me he comprometido a proporcionar al Padre la cuida que

le haga falta. Por favor, únanse conmigo en pedir por el Padre Thomlinson.

Acerca del Padre Benton: al Presbítero James Benton se le acusó en

2002 de tocar a un menor de edad de una manera indecente durante

un campamiento entre los años 1980-1982. El asunto se indagó

minuciosamente por la Diócesis de Lincoln. Los alegatos no se

pudieron confirmar.

En el otoño del 2017, el Padre Benton renunció su cargo parroquial

luego de alegatos de abuso sexual de parte de dos parientes, lo que

hubiera ocurrido hace más de 25 años. following allegations of

sexual abuse of two family members that occurred over 25 years

ago. Estas denuncias las abordó la Comisión revisora diocesana y

las remitió a la Congregación de la Doctrina de la Fe del Vaticano.

La CDF me devolvió el asunto a fin de que actuara de una manera

adecuada. Yo le prohibí el ejercicio público del ministerio en la

Diócesis. Lo restringí además que no estuviera solo con menores de

edad. Ya está jubilado.

Para denunciar cualquier abuso sexual de parte de una persona

afiliada con la Diócesis de Lincoln, les alentamos a que se

comuniquen con una agencia de policía local o sea la Nebraska

Child Abuse Hotline (la Línea directa de abuso de niños en

Nebraska) al 1-800-652-1999.

These are just the utility bills. We are lagging seriously behind in paying our bills, probably because of summer vacations but it has been a trend over the past several months. Usually we have a comfortable reserve in our checking account but now that is gone. A few years ago I set aside $24,000 in a savings account in case we had a short month; now we will be forced to use that and after it’s gone, then what? Nobody likes to hear about being short of money but it is everyone’s responsibility. If you have lagged behind on giving to church, please catch up, and thank you!

UNBOUND MINISTRIES is a deliverance prayer ministry that focuses on people, not on evil spirits. Unbound is a safe, loving and reproducible model that helps people respond to the good news of the gospel and apply the truth to their lives using the five keys. Unbound Ministry is based on the idea that the gospel has the power to make a difference in a person’s life. It is a way of prayer that empowers a person to open their hearts and respond more fully to Jesus’s invitation of abundant life. Unbound is essentially moving a person through a conversion experience. The five keys are: 1. Repenting of sin and expressing faith in Jesus. 2. Forgiving oneself and others. 3. Renouncing the lies, spirits, and tactics of Satan. 4. Taking authority over the works of Satan. 5. Receiving the Father’s blessing. The Diocese of Lincoln’s Unbound Ministry is hosting a 2-day Unbound Conference on August 24th and 25th.

HEARING JESUS’ KNOCK In his June 2009 encyclical Caritas in Veritate, Pope Benedict XVI reminds the world that poverty will not be eradicated unless we rediscover and protect the sanctity of life at every level. Dismissing the unborn as less than human and allowing abortion impedes the work of social justice. He points out with urgency, “While the poor of the world continue knocking on the doors of the rich, the world of affluence runs the risk of no longer hearing those knocks, on account of a conscience that can no longer distinguish what is human” (n. 75). EL QUE BUSA ES CRISTO En la Encíclica Caritas in Veritate de Junio del 2009, el Papa Benedicto XVI recuerda al mundo que la pobreza no será erradicada a menos que descubramos y protejamos la santidad de la vida a todos los niveles. El rechazar al no nacido como algo infrahumano y el permitir el aborto impide el trabajo de la justicia social. Él señala con urgencia, "Mientras los pobres del mundo siguen llamando a la puerta de la opulencia, el mundo rico corre el riesgo de no escuchar ya estos golpes a su puerta, debido a una conciencia incapaz de reconocer lo humano" (n75).

So they said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always."

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger,

and whoever believes in me will never thirst." Entonces le dijeron: "Señor, danos siempre de ese pan". Jesús les contestó: "Yo soy el pan de la vida. El que viene a mí no tendrá hambre y el que cree en mí nunca

tendrá sed". Jn. 6:35

UNBOUND MINISTRIES is a deliverance prayer ministry that focuses on people, not on evil spirits. Unbound is a safe, loving and reproducible model that helps people respond to the good news of the gospel and apply the truth to their lives using the five keys. Unbound Ministry is based on the idea that the gospel has the power to make a difference in a person’s life. It is a way of prayer that empowers a person to open their hearts and respond more fully to Jesus’s invitation of abundant life. Unbound is essentially moving a person through a conversion experience. The five keys are: 1. Repenting of sin and expressing faith in Jesus. 2. Forgiving oneself and others. 3. Renouncing the lies, spirits, and tactics of Satan. 4. Taking authority over the works of Satan. 5. Receiving the Father’s blessing. The Diocese of Lincoln’s Unbound Ministry is hosting a 2-day Unbound Conference on August 24th and 25th. The conference will take place in Lincoln at the John XXIII Diocesan Center and goes from 6-9PM on Friday the 24th and from 8AM- 5PM on Saturday the 25th. A few of the presentations include: Freedom in Christ, The Power of Forgiveness, and Staying Free: The Battle of the Mind. If you feel God may be calling you to attend you can register at www.lincolndiocese.org/unbound or call Lori at (402) 473-0620. The Conference is free and materials will be available to purchase.

One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?" Jesus said, "Have the people recline." Now there was a great deal of grass in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted.

John 6:8-11 Otro de sus discípulos, Andrés, el hermano de Simón Pedro, le dijo: "Aquí hay un muchacho que trae cinco panes de cebada y dos pescados. Pero, ¿qué es eso para tanta gente?" Jesús le respondió: "Díganle a la gente que se siente". En aquel lugar había mucha hierba. Todos, pues, se sentaron ahí; y tan sólo los hombres eran unos cinco mil. Enseguida tomó Jesús los panes, y después de dar gracias a Dios, se los fue repartiendo a los que se habían sentado a comer. Igualmente les fue dando de los pescados todo lo que quisieron.

If you’ve never made a spiritual retreat, now’s the time to look into it. From Friday night to Sunday after lunchtime you get a private room with its own private bathroom, all meals prepared and cleaned up for you, silent time away from the phone and all responsibilities…need I go on? The 2018-19 Retreat Schedule is now available for OUR LADY OF GOOD COUNSEL RETREAT HOUSE IN WAVERLY: www.goodcounselretreat.com or call them at 402-786-2705. FIFTY YEARS AGO THIS WEDNESDAY Pope Paul VII published a letter (“Humanae Vitae”) that renewed Catholic teaching about marriage and love in marriage. Married love between husband and wife must always express openness to love and life; anything else breaks that unity. He predicted four things would happen if Catholic teaching would be ignored: 1. Infidelity and moral decline This one should be self-explanatory, but just for perspective, here’s a few examples. Before this time “living together” or cohabitation was very uncommon and socially unacceptable. Schools providing contraceptives for students without parental consent was unheard of. Men always and only married one woman, and vice versa. People don’t hesitate to change their own identity as man or woman or several dozen other gender identities that have recently been invented. 2. Lost Respect for Women Paul VI also argued that "the man" will lose respect for "the woman" and "no longer (care) for her physical and psychological equilibrium" and will come to "the point of considering her as a mere instrument of selfish enjoyment and no longer as his respected and beloved companion." Treating their bodies as instruments they slide towards using people (only) for pleasure. 3. Abuse of Power Paul VI also observed that the widespread acceptance of contraception would place a "dangerous weapon... in the hands of those public authorities who take no heed of moral exigencies." The history of the family-planning programs in the Third World is a sobering testimony to this reality. In some places people are sterilized without knowing it. China’s government had a one-child policy for decades, forbidding couples from deciding the size of their family—something China has now abandoned. 4. Unlimited Dominion Pope Paul warned that contraception would make us think we can do whatever we want with our body. Sterilization is now the most widely used form of contraception in the U.S. We want to adjust the body to our desires and timetables, rather than adjusting ourselves to its needs. POPE PAUL SAW GOOD THINGS TOO, THOUGH. He knew spouses might have difficulty in acquiring the self-discipline necessary to practice the methods of family planning that require periodic abstinence. But he taught that self-discipline was possible, especially with the help of sacramental grace: “....the discipline which is proper to the purity of married couples, far from harming conjugal love, rather confers on it a higher human value. It demands continual effort yet, thanks to its beneficent influence, husband and wife fully develop their personalities, being enriched with spiritual values. Such discipline bestows upon family life fruits of serenity and peace; and facilitates the solution of other problems; it favors attention for one's partner, helps both parties to drive out selfishness, the enemy of true love, and deepens their sense of responsibility.

Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will raise up a righteous shoot to David; as king he shall reign and govern wisely, he shall do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell in security. This is the name they give him:

"The LORD our justice." Jer 23:5-6

Miren: Viene un tiempo, dice el Señor, en que haré surgir un renuevo en el tronco de David: será un rey justo y prudente y hará que en la tierra se observen la ley y la justicia. En sus días será puesto a salvo Judá, Israel habitará confiadamente y a él lo llamarán con este nombre: 'El Señor es nuestra justicia' ".

HUMAN TRAFFICKING = MODERN DAY SLAVERY Human trafficking is one of the most important human rights issues of our century. It is happening throughout the world, in rural areas and cities in the U.S. and it is happening here in Nebraska. Our FBI and other law enforcement agencies, community coalitions and many individuals are working to combat it; however, it takes all of us, working together to stop the escalation of this evil. Sister Margaret Nacke, CSJ Ed.D. is a Sister of St Joseph of Concordia, Kansas who founded U.S. Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking, a faith-based national network that offers education, supports access to survivor services, and advocates to wipe out this modern-day slavery. Margaret has worked to combat human trafficking for the past ten years by educating the public about various aspects of the way people are bought, sold, and discarded as human beings. She will be coming to our new parish hall in Crete this Fall—date to be announced—to speak and invite others to become part of this effort. Until then, pray for all involved.

SR. AMY MARIE HAVLAT who grew up in our parish here in Crete will make her final profession of vows on Sunday July 22, 2018. Please remember her in your prayers and let us thank God for the blessing of a vocation to the consecrated religious life from our parish!

Since we have a statue of her at the front of church it’s good to know what all of the symbols in the miraculous IMAGE OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE mean is rich in symbolism. The aureole or luminous light surrounding the Lady is reminiscent of the "woman clothed with the sun" of Rev. 12:1. The light is also a sign of the power of God who has sanctified and blessed the one who appears. The rays of the sun would also be recognized by the native people as a symbol of their highest god, Huitzilopochtli. Thus, the lady is now going to announce the God who is greater than their sun god. The Lady is STANDING UPON THE MOON. Again, the symbolism is that of the woman of Rev. 12:1 who has the "moon under her feet". The moon for the Meso-Americans was the god of the night. By standing on the moon, she shows that she is more powerful than the god of darkness. Our Lady of Guadalupe is LOOKING DOWN WITH HUMILITY AND COMPASSION. This was a sign to the native people that she was not a god since Aztec gods stare straight ahead with their eyes wide open. We can only imagine how tenderly her eyes looked upon Blessed Juan Diego when she said: " Do not be troubled or weighed down with grief…Am I not here who am your Mother?" THE ANGEL CARRYING THE LADY TESTIFIES TO HER ROYALTY. The angel is transporting the Lady to the people as a sign that a new era has come. The mantle of the Lady is blue-green or turquoise. To the native people, this was

the color of the gods and of royalty. The gold border of her mantle is another sign of nobility. The stars on the Lady’s mantle shows that she comes from heaven. She comes as the Queen of Heaven but with the eyes of a humble and loving mother. Research published in 1983 shows that the stars on the Lady’s mantle in the image are exactly as the stars of the winter solstice appeared before dawn on the morning of December 12, 1531. The BLACK BOW AROUND HER WAIST is a sign of her virginity, but it also was the symbol of fecundity and new life. The high position of the bow and the slight swelling of the abdomen show that the Lady is "with child". According to Dr. Carlos Fernández Del Castillo, a leading Mexican obstetrician, the Lady appears almost ready to give birth with the infant head down resting vertically. This would further solidify her identification with the woman in the Book of Revelation chapter 12 who is about to give birth.

Group 5 is in charge of CLEANING CHURCH FOR JULY. Please call Paula Valenta (826-3089) to volunteer. The group list is on the church bulletin board, and in the green parish handbook. CONFESSIONS ARE HEARD WEDNESDAYS from 6:00-7:00pm year round and for 30 minutes before each of the five weekend Masses. There are lots of good resources online for free to help you make a return to this sacrament. Try this one: https://goodconfession.com/examination-of-conscience/

ACT OF CONTRITION: O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and fear the pains of hell, but most of all, because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and worthy of all my love. I firmly intend with the help of Thy grace to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life. Amen.

Twelfth Sunday of Ordinary

Time—June 24, 2018

OUR BILLS COME DURING JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST, TOO Please, if you’re away for vacation, first thank

God you can get away and then remember your Sunday envelope to support your parish at home here in

Crete. I love reading bulletins from other places if you want to bring one home. They sometimes have

great ideas and surprises. Fr. Major

Want to GIVE DRINK TO THE THIRSTY as Jesus taught us in Matthew 25? Fr. Chris Kubat said people come

in to the “O” Street office of Catholic Social Services in Lincoln during the summer and sometimes they

just want bottled water. If you feel inspired to help, I’ll send in peoples’ donations together tomorrow.

Fr. Major

PCCW pays for 1/2 the cost of a retreat or diocesan camp per person, per year. Turn in your receipt from

the retreat you attended to Deb Polacek, PCCW’s treasurer, to be reimbursed.

Once each Sunday the pastor of every parish is required to offer Mass for the people of his parish, known

in Catholic canon law as the “Pro Populo Mass”. WHEN YOU REQUEST MASSES please know that there are

two reasons the Pro Populo Mass must be offered at 9:00am under our current schedule. The first is that

the Pro Populo Mass should be offered at the ‘primary weekend Mass’. The second is to make sure the

priest offering English language Masses receives a stipend for the second Mass he offers. Thanks for your

understanding.


SR. AMY MARIE HAVLAT who grew up in our parish here in Crete will make her final profession of vows on

Sunday July 22, 2018. Please remember her in your prayers and let us thank God for the blessing of a

vocation to the consecrated religious life from our parish! Everyone is invited to attend the vows. The

Mass begins at 2:00pm at the Cathedral of the Risen Christ, 33rd and Sheridan Streets in Lincoln.

Your donations to CHARITY AND STEWARDSHIP APPEAL 2018 need to be in by this Friday June 29th, please.

For some people it just helps to have a deadline. Thank you to the 87 people who have made donations

and pledges so far. We have made our parish goal! Everything else pledged and given to CSA will come

back to us as rebates. We just got the last rebate check from last year’s appeal in the amount of $175.

BASTA CON LAS BRUJAS! “Suplicas Contra el Poder de las Tinieblas” es un librito de tamaño bolsillo que

ayudará a los fieles cristianos en su lucha contra el enemigo del infierno. Es un poderoso tesoro de

oraciones de alabanza y súplica a Dios todopoderoso y de oraciones que invocan la intercesión de los

santos. Cuesta $6.95.

Stoley. His new assignment as pastor of Harvard, St. Joseph’s begins on Monday, June 18th. The parish office is

located half a block south of the front door of church in the old clinic/former alternative high school.

We will welcome FATHER DOUG DARO to Crete Sacred Heart on June 18th as our new assistant pastor to take

CHARITY AND STEWARDSHIP APPEAL 2018 IS GOING WELL So far we have collected 60 one-time

gifts for a total of $19,282.50 with 23 other people pledging $6,160 more. It’s surprising that such a small

percentage of our parish—83 out of 2,000 registered individuals!—are pulling that much weight. Thank you for

your generosity. The remaining pledge cards are being sent out this week. Our gifts to CSA pay for diocesan offices

and programs that don’t have a Sunday collection. We receive rebates during the year when we exceed our goal, as

we did this past year. El programa diocesana de CORRESPONSABILIDAD continua con éxito.

BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR EMAIL In the past two weeks, a scammer has imitated at least four pastors and lay

administrators with fake Gmail accounts in an attempt to steal money from employees and parishioners. The scam

begins with a simple request for a favor and those who respond are instructed to provide money or gift cards for

alleged charitable purposes. If you receive such an email, please do not respond. If you have been a victim of this

scam, please contact the local police department, and the Nebraska Attorney General at 402-471-2682.

FIREWORKS will be sold in a tent on the playground at Sacred Heart from July 1st-July 4th, sponsored by the

Knights of Columbus Council #7704. Workers are needed from the Council and Parish to run the fireworks tent.

The tent and sales equipment are provided to us free of charge and 25% of the sales comes to us as profit. A sign-

up sheet is available online at tiny.cc/KOCfireworks (case sensitive). Please contact James Watts at 850-228-8456

with any questions.

Our PARISH COUNCIL is considering our parish’s policies about the use of our facilities. We are looking at what

other places and churches do to come up with something that is wise and fair. If you have ideas or if you’re curious,

get in touch with a parish council member through the parish office. Thank you, and please keep praying for safety

and success for our current program of construction of the parish hall, classrooms, meeting rooms, parish offices and

kitchen. El nuestro CONSEJO PARROQUIAL va a considerar las políticas sobre el uso del salón parroquial y las demás partes de la parroquia. Estamos revisando las políticas de otras iglesias y la universidad para comparecer y escoger lo que aplique a nuestra situación. Si quiere sugerir algo o poner preguntas, contáctese con la oficina por medio de la celular (826-2044). Se pide que continuemos rezando para el éxito y la seguridad del proyecto de la nueva construcción. El proyecto actual incluye un salón parroquial, tres salones de clase, tres oficinas para los padres y la secretaria de la parroquia y dos salones para reuniones y clases.

SI, SE PUEDE enviar mensajes text a la línea de la parroquia402 826-2044. Este número es celular con el entonces

número para la oficina de Sacred Heart. Ojala que se sirve mejor la gente de la parroquia. THE OFFICE HAS

MOVED BUT THE PARISH PHONE NUMBER IS THE SAME and since it is now a cell phone you can now

send text messages to it at your convenience. For now, Fr. Major carries the parish cell phone as well as his own

24/7.

CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE NEW KNEELERS are still coming in—thank you! Many comment that they

are more comfortable and certainly add a good look to our church, which was part of the reason for doing it. Our

next church building will come someday in the future, and when that happens is up to us; for now we need to make

our church a clean, beautiful place to pray. EL DINERO CON QUE PAGAR LOS BANCOS NUEVOS

continua a venir por medio de los sobres—gracias! Toca a cada uno de nosotros en decidir la hora apropiada para

remplacér nuestra iglesia viejita pero en el entretiempo la meta es de mantener una iglesia limpia, hermosa y digna de

la casa del Señor.

LAST TUESDAY THE ANNEX MOVED OUT the building behind church that was once classrooms and more

recently our parish office has been sold and will be removed. After that, the fencing will close off that area for work

to install underground storm water retention cells required by law followed by a concrete parking lot with about 33

spaces…opening in a few months. Until it’s done there will be a lot of inconvenience; thank you in advance for your

patience and sacrifice. LA ENTONCES OFICINA/SALONES DE CLASE fue vendido y ha movido el martes.

Luego, perdemos por ahora los espacios de estacionamiento frente de la escuela. La situación durará hasta varias

meses durante de que el equipo de construcción va a construir un nuevo estacionamiento allí con unos 33 espacios,

TODAY BEGINS CHARITY AND STEWARDSHIP APPEAL 2018 Each year in May we ask Catholics to

pledge and give to a collection from all 135 of our parishes. The money that comes in pays for Catholic works that

don’t have their own Sunday collection and each parish has an assigned target; Crete’s goal is $25,840.00 this year.

Think of it as filling up a tank: once the tank is full, everything we give above that comes back to us as rebates. This

past Thursday Fr. Stoley and Fr. Major went to the kickoff meeting and filled out their own pledge cards first. (Yes,

priests also give to the parish collections.) Next Sunday please take time to get and fill out a pledge card and commit

to what you can for CSA. It would be a good time to look at what you do for the Sunday collection, the Vocations

collection and other things that are asked of all of us. If you haven’t changed your giving amount (or aren’t in the

habit of giving regularly) please take a look at where you should be—more or less than you do now.

DAY OF EQUIPPING: This training seminar, presented by Bart Schuchts, will be held July 20-21 at Pius X High

School in Lincoln, NE. During this training you will learn the foundations of abiding in Christ, hearing His voice,

and becoming empowered to pray for others as Jesus did. If you desire the Holy Spirit operating in your life, this

training is for you. Cost is $70 before May 14, $80 after. To register, go to: https://jpiihealingcenter.org.

Contact the Office of Evangelization for information on student rates or need-based scholarships, 402-473-0615.

I personally recommend this seminar. The retreat I made in February was given by Bart and four others; it was the most effective retreat experience in my life. This event is shorter and not the same content but I would be very surprised if it disappoints. Fr. Major

The STEUBENVILLE MID-AMERICA YOUTH CONFERENCE will be July 13-15. There is an exciting

lineup of speakers, musicians and presenters, to challenge Catholic youth to stand firm in their faith, to rely upon the

awesome power of Jesus Christ as their guide, friend and Savior, and to share that faith to the world. Keynote this

year is by experienced and beloved speaker Jason Evert. Register today at

lincolndiocese.org/pilgrimages/steubenville-youth-conference .

Most Holy Trinity Sunday—May 27, 2018

We will welcome FATHER DOUG DARO to Crete Sacred Heart on June 18th as our new assistant pastor to

take the place of Fr. Christopher Stoley who become pastor of St. Joseph, Harvard on that same day. Fr. Daro

was ordained priest by Bishop Conley May 26th, 2018. Un nuevo padre P. Doug Daro vendrá a Crete el 18 de

junio para remplacer a Padre Stoley. Demos gracias a Dios para sus favores y gracias. Él es muy amigo con P.

Stoley desde julio de 2017 mientras estuvieron en Guatemala para su curso de idioma español.

**Tomorrow’s morning Mass will be at the cemetery at 9:00am instead of the usual 8:15am time.**

BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR EMAIL In the past two weeks, a scammer has imitated at least four pastors

and lay administrators with fake Gmail accounts in an attempt to steal money from employees and parishioners.

The scam begins with a simple request for a favor and those who respond are instructed to provide money or

gift cards for alleged charitable purposes. If you receive such an email, please do not respond. If you have been

a victim of this scam, please contact the local police department, and the Nebraska Attorney General at 402-

471-2682.

COFFEE & ROLLS after 9am Mass next Sunday, June 3rd in the parish office will also be a farewell to Fr.

Stoley. His new assignment as pastor of Harvard, St. Joseph’s begins on Monday, June 18th. The parish office

is located half a block south of the front door of church in the old clinic/former alternative high school.

FIREWORKS will be sold in a tent on the playground at Sacred Heart from July 1st-July 4th, sponsored by

the Knights of Columbus Council #7704. Workers are needed from the Council and Parish to run the

fireworks tent. The tent and sales equipment are provided to us free of charge and 25% of the sales comes to

us as profit. A sign-up sheet is available online at tiny.cc/KOCfireworks (case sensitive). Please contact James

Watts at 850-228-8456 with any questions.

you’re curious, get in touch with a parish council member through the parish office. Thank you, and please

keep praying for safety and success for our current program of construction of the parish hall, classrooms,

meeting rooms, parish offices and kitchen. El nuestro CONSEJO PARROQUIAL va a considerar las políticas sobre el uso del salón parroquial y las demás partes de la parroquia. Estamos revisando las políticas de otras iglesias y la universidad para comparecer y escoger lo que aplique a nuestra situación. Si quiere sugerir algo o poner preguntas, contáctese con la oficina por medio de la celular (826-2044).

next year he will be a young pastor! Tickets are $10 for all ages and $30 maximum for families and will also be

sold at the door. See www.saltdogs.com/I-80/

FROM OUR ST. JAMES CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL I was especially proud to see the

results of our 6th graders’ last reading test. Every one of them scored in the average range or higher! This is

quite a tribute to all their teachers and we thank them for their dedication. Speaking of good teachers, we will

have another fabulous faculty next year: Mrs. Karla Tranmer--Pre-K; Miss Megan Kopetzky--Kindergarten;

Miss Ashley Hecht--Grade 1; Miss Avery Morehead--Grade 2; Sister Mary Jacinta--Grade 3; Sister Mary Clare-

-Grade 4; Sister Marie Amata & Sister Mary Ruth--Grades 5 and 6; Miss Jennifer Wegener--Resource, Music,

Computer; Sister Mary Alma—Principal.

We plan to have a partial combination class of the 5th and 6th graders once again. The 5th and 6th graders

will have separate classes in the morning covering Reading, Math, and Religion. The classes will combine in the

afternoon for English, Social Studies, and Science. I believe this plan will work out very well and am happy that

the children will have these two kind and capable Religious Sisters as their teachers. Please feel free to talk with

Sr. Mary Alma (826-2318) if you have any questions about the partial combination class plan.

Group 4 is in charge of CLEANING CHURCH IN JUNE. Please call Lori Manson (826-2664) to volunteer.

minutes at each SFA meeting next year. What do you recall most about summertime in your childhood? Biking?

Swimming? Camping? Catching fireflies? Lemonade stands? Gardening? How about helping your child have some

great memories too? The Protect and Prepare committee is providing you with a Summer Bucket List of fun things

for your child to do instead of YouTube and video games. Why not challenge them to do all 100! Parents, you

might really enjoy doing some of these activities with your child!

LA NUESTRA IGLESIA (el edificio) cumple 125 años el 11 de junio, 2018. La parroquia local comenzó en el año 1871. La Iglesia Católica fue fundado en Pentecostés, en el año 33 A.D. Demos gracias a Dios por todos sus gracias y favores hacia nosotros!

NOTICIAS SOBRE LA NUEVA CONSTRUCCIÓN Hemos recibido regalos grande en apoyo de la nuestra programa de construir un salón parroquial, oficinas de la parroquia y las tres salones de clase. Un grant de $45,000 dólares desde Flavin Fund Grants y el precio del edificio portable fue $20,120.00. Todo esto fue añadido a la nuestra cuenta de construcción. El edificio actual que estamos cumpliendo incluye: un salón parroquial con capacidad de 270 personas más alrededor de 30 más sillas en un salón junto hacia la parte sur. La nuestra escuela St. James va a continuar en servir los grados preescolar a 6to. Mil gracias a todo Uds. que han colaborado con el programa de la nueva construcción! El año escolar de 2018-19 comenzara el 20 de agosto 2018. En el futuro nos toca a decidir cuándo vamos a construir una iglesia para remplacer el actual. Rezamos juntos para discerner cuando pasara.

The PORTABLE ANNEX BUILDING WAS SOLD for $20,120.00 and we received a total of $45,000

from the Bishop Flavin Fund. All proceeds were deposited to our construction account, whose balance should

completely cover construction costs. Just to clarify, we are building a parish hall that will seat 270 persons with

overflow seating in the south meeting room. The new construction also includes three classrooms for St. James

School and our parish CCD program. Our school will continue to serve the same number of grades—

preschool to 6th grade. It is up to us all to decide when we will build our future church to replace the current

one. Let us pray together to discern when that will be!

Toca a cada uno de nosotros en decidir la hora apropiada para remplacér nuestra iglesia viejita pero en el entretiempo la meta es de mantener una iglesia limpia, hermosa y digna de la casa del Señor.

THIS COMING WEEK THE ANNEX MOVES OUT the building behind church that was once classrooms and more

recently our parish office has been sold and will be removed. After that, the fencing will close off that area for work to

install underground storm water retention cells required by law followed by a concrete parking lot with about 33

spaces…opening in a few months. Until it’s done there will be a lot of inconvenience; thank you in advance for your

patience and sacrifice. LA ENTONCES OFICINA/SALONES DE CLASE fue vendido y va a mover en estos días, probablemente el lunes. Luego, perdemos por ahora los espacios de estacionamiento frente de la escuela. La situación durará hasta varias meses durante de que el equipo de construcción va a construir un nuevo estacionamiento allí con unos 33 espacios, ojala. El proyecto de la primera fase debe cumplir en el mes de agosto. Por favor sigue en oración para el éxito del programa.

NEXT WEEK BEGINS CHARITY AND STEWARDSHIP APPEAL 2018 Each year in May we ask Catholics to

pledge and give to a collection from all 135 of our parishes. The money that comes in pays for Catholic works that don’t

have their own Sunday collection and each parish has an assigned target; Crete’s goal is $25,840.00 this year. Think of it

as filling up a tank: once the tank is full, everything we give above that comes back to us as rebates. This past Thursday

Fr. Stoley and Fr. Major went to the kickoff meeting and filled out their own pledge cards first. (Yes, priests also give to

the parish collections.) Next Sunday please take time to get and fill out a pledge card and commit to what you can for

CSA. It would be a good time to look at what you do for the Sunday collection, the Vocations collection and other

things that are asked of all of us. If you haven’t changed your giving amount (or aren’t in the habit of giving regularly)

please take a look at where you should be—more or less than you do now.

ALL WOMEN ARE INVITED TO ATTEND 8:15 MASS IN CRETE THIS THURSDAY APRIL 26, in honor of

the Feast of Our Lady of Good Counsel, patroness of the council of Catholic women. Fellowship will follow Mass.

DAY OF EQUIPPING: This training seminar, presented by Bart Schuchts, will be held July 20-21 at Pius X High

School in Lincoln, NE. During this training you will learn the foundations of abiding in Christ, hearing His voice, and

becoming empowered to pray for others as Jesus did. If you desire the Holy Spirit operating in your life, this training is

for you. Cost is $70 before May 14, $80 after. To register, go to: https://jpiihealingcenter.org. Contact the Office of

Evangelization for information on student rates or need-based scholarships, 402-473-0615.

I personally recommend this seminar. The retreat I made in February was given by Bart and four others; it was the most effective retreat experience in my life. This event is shorter and not the same content but I would be very surprised if it disappoints. Fr. Major

PARENTS OF HIGH SCHOOLERS: SEND THEM ON A TEC (Teens Encounter Christ) is a weekend experience

power of Jesus Christ as their guide, friend and Savior, and to share that faith to the world. Keynote this year is by

experienced and beloved speaker Jason Evert. Register today at lincolndiocese.org/pilgrimages/steubenville-youth-

LA CORONILLA Hay un fuerte vínculo entre esta devoción y el movimiento pro-vida. El Padre Seraphim Michalenko, MIC, quien fue el traductor principal del diario de Sor Faustina, y el postulador de su causa para la canonización, escribe lo siguiente: “En las tres últimas ocasiones, de 8:00-11:00 de la noche, ella sintió que sus entrañas habían sido rasgadas. Sufrió tanto que pensó que iba a morir. Los doctores no podían encontrar que enfermedad tenía, y ninguna medicina le aliviaba el sufrimiento. Más tarde le fue dado a conocer que ella estaba pasando esos dolores por las madres que abortaban a sus hijos.” (Diario 1276) En el 2003, el Papa Juan Pablo II emitió una Bendición Apostólica a todos aquellos que rezaran la Coronilla de la Misericordia “por las madres que querían abortar sus retoños; por los infantes que sería muertos en el vientre; por un cambio de corazón en los que proveen los abortos y su s colaboradores; por las víctimas humanas de la investigación de la célula madre, por la manipulación genética, la clonación y la eutanasia, y por todos los que han sido encomendados con el gobierno de las personas, para que promuevan la Cultura de la Vida, y pongan fin a la cultura de la muerte.”

THE CHAPLET OF DIVINE MERCY There is a close link between this devotion and the pro-life movement.

Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC, who was a principal translator of St. Faustina's diary, and the postulator of her

cause of canonization, writes the following: "On at least three occasions, from 8:00-11:00 in the evening, she felt

like her insides were being torn apart. She suffered so much that she thought she was going to die. The doctors

couldn't figure out what was ailing her, and no medication was able to alleviate her sufferings. Later, she was given to

understand that she was undergoing those pains for mothers who were aborting their children (Diary, 1276). In

2003, Pope John Paul II issued an Apostolic Blessing to all who pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet “for mothers, that

they not abort their offspring; for infants in danger of being put to death in the womb; for a change of heart of

providers of abortions and of their collaborators; for human victims of stem cell research, genetic manipulation,

cloning and euthanasia; and for all entrusted with the government of peoples, that they may promote the Culture of

Life, so as to put an end to the culture of death."

CONGRATULATIONS to our confirmandi from this past Tuesday. Last year we began having one bilingual

Confirmation Mass every year and it seems to work well. Special thanks to our School Sisters of Christ the King for

their work in teaching our youth and organizing the ceremony. Thanks also to our choir and musicians!

FELICITAMOS a nuestros jovenes que fueron sellados por el Espiritu Santo este pasado Martes. Agradecemos a las

musicistas y el coro!

PCCW will celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph by gathering for Mass in Crete @ 8:15 a.m. this Monday, March 19.

They will gather afterwards for fellowship. All are welcome.

REMEMBER, YOU ARE DUST Long before you expect to die, do your loved ones a big favor: make plans for

your funeral; if you die suddenly they will have fewer decisions to make when they are emotionally vulnerable and apt

to make bad, expensive decisions. Make out your Last Will and Testament (and consider naming your parish as a

‘family member’ who gets a share of your estate). Make a regular confession of your sins and receive Holy

Communion reverently and often. RECUERDA QUE ERES POLVO Por favor con bien anticipo que haga un gran favor a sus seres queridos: aunque se no sufres de algo ni anticipa su muerte, póngase un plan para su proprio entierro. Si, porque se uno fallece de repente la familia sufre mucho y están vulnerable mientras toman tal decisiones. Es posible planear hasta todo con una funeraria. Haga su última voluntad y testamento (y considere nombrar a su parroquia como un "miembro de la familia" que recibe una parte de su patrimonio). Confiese y comulgue de vez en cuanto para mantener su relato con Dios y que tenga confianza para el día del juicio final.

Thank you.

During their recess time our ST. JAMES SCHOOL 6TH GRADERS stood at the highway intersection midday

Wednesday with signs encouraging 17 ways to remember recent shooting victims. It was a beautiful gesture that

moved many hearts.

JOY OF THE GOSPEL UPDATE Over the last three years we have gotten rebates of $1,858.00 (2015);

$11,374.00 (2016); $11,975.00 (2017) for a total of $25,207.00 so far. $16,200 of that was spend on new

windows for the gymnasium and light bulbs that use 1/8 of the electricity the old ones did—plus, they turn on and

off instantly! Thank you to people who pledged and are giving for your selfless response to this invitation.

ST. JAMES CALENDAR LOTTERY is underway. Buy a ticket for $25 and you might win one of 59 prizes from

$25 to $250! Proceeds from this sale will help update library materials for the school. Tickets are available from any

St. James student or when SCRIP is sold after Mass. Contact Nancy Murphy at 402-826-0073 if you have any

questions. La LOTERIA CALENDARIO de nuestra escuela St. James ya comenzó. Compra su boleto de $25 y puede ganar hasta 59 premios desde $25 hasta $250! Contáctese con la oficina de escuela o hable con P. Major o P. Stoley para comprar un boleto.

‘Thus, you read the word of God, spoken to Jeremiah: "Before I formed thee in the womb, I knew thee." If

God forms us in the womb, He also breathes on us as He did in the beginning: "And God formed man and

breathed into him the breath of life." Nor could God have known man in the womb unless he were a whole

man. "And before thou came forth from the womb, I sanctified thee." Was it, then, a dead body at that

stage? Surely it was not, for "God is the God of the living and not the dead."’ -Tertullian, a Christian

writer who died in the third century

La sabiduría de los años…

Tertuliano, un escritor cristiano quien murió en el siglo tercero, escribió lo siguiente: ‘De este modo, se lee en la Palabra de Dios, que habló a Jeremías: “Antes que te formaras dentro del vientre de tu madre, te conocía”. Si Dios nos formó en el vientre, Él también nos da el aliento como hizo en el principio; “y Dios creó al hombre y sopló en él aliento de vida”. Tampoco podría Dios haber conocido al hombre en el seno de su madre, a menos que fuera un hombre completo. “Y antes de que salieras del vientre materno, te consagré”. ¿Era, entonces, un cuerpo muerto en esa etapa? Seguro que no, porque “Dios es un Dios de vivos y no de muertos”’.

"I am troubled now. Yet what should I say? 'Father, save me

from this hour'? But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour.

Father, glorify your name." Jn. 12:31

From the left at the bottom: Pastor’s office, Assistant office, bathroom,

small meeting room, large meeting room, new school office;

above pastor’s office is the entry way and parish office.

The large room is the parish hall; three classrooms are to their right.

Above the hall are the utility room, storage, kitchen, pantry,

second mechanical room, bathrooms and hallway.

This part is scheduled to be done in time for school start in mid-August.

Our alley between church and school comes across the middle of this picture.

The church is shown as the long rectangle in the lower half. To its right are

the parking spaces that will be put in this summer after our annex building

(which now contains the school library, 5th grade classroom, parish office,

pastor and assistant pastor’s offices). The annex building is in the process of

being sold and will be moved off site in the coming weeks. About 33 parking spaces

go in where it once was. It will be concrete, and done by August.

For some months we might have to do without a regular parish office.

LENT REQUIREMENT REMINDER Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of abstinence and fasting, and

all Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. Abstinence means “no meat/meat products,” and fasting means “no

eating between meals,” and that the meals you DO eat are comprised of the normal three meals, two of which are

small meals that do not equal the size of the third. Those who are between 14 and 59 years old are required to

follow the rules of abstinence, while those who are 16-59 years old follow the rules of fasting. Those who are sick,

outside of these ages, or are pregnant, are not obligated to fast or abstain, although it is encouraged.

UNA RECUERDA PARA LA CUARESMA Miércoles de Ceniza y Viernes Santo son días de abstinencia y ayuno,

y los viernes de Cuaresma son días de abstinencia. Abstinencia significa que “no come carne” y ayuno significa “no

come entre las comidas” y que comemos tres comidas, dos de las cuales son chiquitas y no son iguales a la tercera.

Los de 16 años hasta 59 años son obligados a seguir las reglas de ayuno, y los de 14 años hasta 59 años son

obligados a seguir las reglas de abstinencia. Los enfermos, los que tienen más que 59 años, y las embarazadas no son

obligados a abstener ni ayunar, pero es sugerido.

"This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel. ”

THE CLEANSING POWER OF WATER Today’s first reading speaks to us of Noah’s Ark. The flood that God

sent upon the world in Noah’s day was a cleansing of evil. Now, God cleanses us not by floods, but by the waters of

baptism, which bring to us a whole new kind of life: the life of God within us. Our special efforts in Lent to come

closer to God are a response to what has already happened to us! Because we have received the new life of God, we

have to reform our lives and live as his sons and daughters. We have to become who we already are. The holy water

we use when we come in and out of Church is a reminder of the cleansing waters of baptism, and a reminder of the

new life we are called to live. God is a God of life, and therefore we are the People of Life. This Lent, let’s look for

ways to foster respect for life, especially the sick, the disabled, and the unborn.

EL PODER PURIFICADOR DEL AGUA La primera lectura de hoy nos habla del Arca de Noé. El diluvio que Dios envió al mundo en los días de Noé fue una purificación del mal. Ahora, Dios nos purifica no por diluvios, sino mediante las aguas del bautismo, las cuales nos llevan a un modo de vida totalmente nuevo: la vida en Dios. ¡Nuestros especiales esfuerzos durante la Cuaresma para acercarnos a Dios son una respuesta a lo que ya nos está sucediendo! Porque ya hemos recibido la nueva vida de Dios, tenemos que reformar nuestras vidas y vivir como sus hijos e hijas. Tenemos que llegar a ser lo que ya somos. El agua bendita que usamos al entrar y al salir de la Iglesia es un recordatorio de la purificación de las aguas bautismales, y un recordatorio de la nueva vida que estamos llamados a vivir. Dios es un Dios de vida, y por eso nosotros somos el Pueblo de la Vida. Este tiempo de Cuaresma, busquemos formas con las que podamos promover el respeto por la vida, especialmente la vida de los enfermos, los deshabilitados, y los no nacidos

What are the signs that indicate that OUR LOVE IS BEGINNING TO COOL? More than anything else, what

destroys love is greed: "love for money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). The rejection of God and his peace

soon follows; we prefer our own desolation rather than the comfort found in his word and the sacraments. –Pope

Francis

The Catholic Church is NEITHER REPUBLICAN NOR DEMOCRAT but it is entitled—indeed, the Church is

obligated—to speak out on important issues, especially those that relate to the dignity of the human

person and matters of justice and freedom. The institutional Church cannot and does not endorse or

condemn individual candidates or political parties. Catholics have a serious obligation to inform their

consciences about candidates and issues in every election. Take time to register to vote; update your

registration if you have moved. Check with your county election commissioner. Sign up for an absentee

ballot if you can’t get to the poll station on election day. A casual check of how close elections have

been at every level in recent years. Your vote counts!

Jesus loved the poor, the weak, the sick, and the demon-possessed. These individuals, and those who

cared for them, knew that they could come to Jesus to find what they needed. What they needed,

however, was often much more than what they thought they needed, because Jesus indicated by his

words in today’s Gospel passage, and by his actions, that it was his purpose to preach the Word of God.

The healing, in other words, flowed from something more fundamental. PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR THE

TRUTH OF GOD. By accepting it and being formed in it, they can establish right relationships with God

and one another. They can conquer sin. They can have integral salvation, in body and soul.

As Jesus was the one to whom the people brought the ill and those possessed by demons, so the Church

today is the place that people should be inclined to go first. The Church preaches integral salvation, as

the “Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church” so clearly explains. The feeding of the

soul and the care given to temporal needs go hand in hand.

Jesús amaba a los pobres, los débiles, los enfermos y los oprimidos por el demonio. Éstas personas, y

aquellos que les custodiaban, sabían que podían venir a Jesús para hallar lo que tanto necesitaban. Lo

que necesitaban, no obstante, era a menudo mucho más de lo que ellos creían necesitar, porque Jesús

indicaba tanto por sus palabras en el pasaje del Evangelio de hoy, como por sus acciones, que predicar La

Palabra de Dios era su propósito. La sanidad, en otras palabras, fluía de algo más fundamental. LA

GENTE NECESITA SENTIR LA VERDAD DE DIOS. Al aceptarla, y ser formados por ella, ellos pueden

establecer relaciones correctas tanto con Dios como con el prójimo. Ellos pueden vencer y conquistar el

pecado. Pueden tener salvación integral, en cuerpo y alma.

En tanto Jesús era la persona a quién traían enfermos y poseídos por los espíritus tenebrosos, así La

Iglesia hoy día, es el lugar al que la gente debería inclinarse en primer lugar. La Iglesia predica salvación

http://www.roadtopurity.com/

https://www.votervoice.net/BroadcastLinks/dN5WYQfr7trxPgiBeySTMg

integral, como lo explica tan claramente “El Compendio de la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia Católica”. La

nutrición del alma y el cuidado dado a las necesidades temporales van de la mano.

Once the building is removed work can begin to place underground storm water retention cells and then parking lot paving. (hooray!)

In 1973, the SUPREME COURT’S DOE VS. BOLTON DECISION was the companion case to Roe vs. Wade,

making abortion legal throughout pregnancy. Sandra Cano, the "Mary Doe" plaintiff of Doe vs. Bolton,

technically won the case and the right to have an abortion – except that she never wanted one. Sandra

was always a pro-life Christian until her death in 2014. On March 23, 1997, she declared these

memorable words: "I am Sandra Cano. I became know as Mary Doe when the U.S. Supreme Court

released Doe v. Bolton, which allowed abortion for virtually any reason. I am against abortion; I never

sought an abortion; I have never had an abortion. Abortion is murder. For over twenty years, and

against my will, my name has been synonymous with abortion. The Doe v. Bolton case is based on deceit

and fraud. I stand today in this place of healing, the National Memorial for the Unborn, and pledge to

the memory of these innocent children, that as long as I have breath, I will strive to see abortion ended

in America."

En 1973, LA DECISIÓN DOE VS. BOLTON DE LA CORTE SUPREMA, caso compañero de Roe vs. Wade, hizo

el aborto legal durante el embarazo. Sandra Cano, la demandante "María Doe" de Doe vs. Bolton,

técnicamente ganó el caso y el derecho a tener un aborto -excepto que ella nunca quiso uno. Sandra

siempre fue una cristiana pro-vida hasta su muerte en 2014. El 23 de marzo de 1997, declaró estas

memorables palabras: "Soy Sandra Cano. Me hice conocida como María Doe cuando la Corte Suprema

de Estados Unidos lanzó Doe vs. Bolton, que permitió el aborto por prácticamente cualquier razón. Estoy

en contra del aborto; Nunca busqué un aborto; Nunca he tenido un aborto. El aborto es asesinato. Por

más de veinte años, y en contra de mi voluntad, mi nombre ha sido sinónimo de aborto. El caso Doe v.

Bolton se basa en el engaño y el fraude. Yo estoy hoy en este lugar de sanación, el Memorial Nacional de

los No Nacidos, y me comprometo con la memoria de estos niños inocentes, que mientras tenga aliento,

me esforzaré para buscar el fin del aborto en Estados Unidos".

The proclamation of the date of Easter and the other moveable feasts on EPIPHANY dates from a time when

calendars were not readily available.It was necessary to make known the date of Easter in advance, since many

celebrations of the liturgical year depend on its date.The number of Sundays that follow Epiphany, the date of Ash

Wednesday, and the number of Sundays that follow Pentecost are all computed in relation to Easter. Although

calendars now give the date of Easter and the other feasts in the liturgical year for many years in advance, the

Epiphany proclamation still has value.It is a reminder of the centrality of the resurrection of the Lord in the

liturgical year and the importance of the great mysteries of faith which are celebrated each year. Starred dates are

holy days of obligation. La proclamación de la fecha de Pascua y las otras fiestas movibles en EPIFANÍA data de

una época en que los calendarios no estaban disponibles. Era necesario dar a conocer la fecha de Pascua de

antemano, ya que muchas celebraciones del año litúrgico dependen de su fecha. El número de domingos que

siguen a Epifanía, la fecha del Miércoles de Ceniza y el número de domingos que siguen a Pentecostés se computan

en relación con la Pascua. Aunque los calendarios ahora dan la fecha de Pascua y las otras fiestas en el año

litúrgico por muchos años de anticipación, la proclamación de la Epifanía todavía tiene valor. Es un recordatorio de

la centralidad de la resurrección del Señor en el año litúrgico y la importancia de los grandes misterios de la fe que

se celebran cada año. Dias de obligación se indican por el *.
