HEARTS

ON FIRE

at Sacred

Heart

Ask, and it will be given to you; Seek and

you will find; Knock and the door will be

opened to you. For everyone who asks,

receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to

the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

(Mt. 7:7-8)

Pope Francis: “I hope that all

communities will devote the

necessary effort to advancing along

the path of a pastoral and missionary

conversion which cannot leave things

as they presently are. . . I dream of a

“missionary option,” that is, a

missionary impulse capable of

transforming everything so that the

Church’s customs, ways of doing

things, times and schedules, language

and structures can be suitably

channeled for the evangelization of

today’s world rather than for her self-

preservation.”

Evangelii Gaudium: The Joy of the Gospel #25, 27

Prayer for the week: (Tear or cut off this prayer and keep it handy

to pray throughout the week.)

Lord Jesus, strengthen your sons and

daughters of Sacred Heart Parish for

the necessary effort to make a

conversion, a turn-around, from

“things as they presently are” to a

transforming missionary impulse.

Guide us to see Your Church, and

especially our parish, with fresh

eyes, looking beyond ourselves, for

ways to bring others in

today’s world to You. Come,

O Sacred Heart of Jesus; set

our hearts on fire in us so

that we might set the earth on

fire for you.
