Easter Sunday -- April 16, 2017

OUR BLUEPRINTS WERE APPROVED by the Diocesan Building Commission. Our financial situation still needs some

firming up to make sure we can surpass what we might need to build. The estimated cost of Phase One is right at $3

million but the Diocese requires a 10% contingency; that means we have to be able to raise and/or borrow $300,000

over the next two or three years, even if we won’t actually spend that much. They require this because many projects

end up costing more than planned. Our building committee has this project planned with more care than usual but it

will take discipline to avoid extra costs. We will seek bids from three contractors and then we will know the project cost

in early May.

NUESTROS MODELOS FUERON APROBADOS por la Comisión de Edificación Diocesana. Nuestra situación financiera

todavía necesita algo de consolidación para asegurarnos de que podemos superar lo que podríamos necesitar para

construir. El costo estimado de la Fase Uno es de $3 millones, pero la Diócesis requiere una contingencia del 10%; eso

significa que tenemos que ser capaces de recaudar y / o pedir prestado $300,000 en los próximos dos o tres años, incluso

si realmente no gastar tanto. Requieren esto porque muchos proyectos terminan costando más de lo planeado. Nuestro

comité de construcción tiene este proyecto planeado con más cuidado que de costumbre, pero tomará disciplina para

evitar costos adicionales. Vamos a buscar ofertas de tres contratistas y luego sabremos el costo del proyecto a principios

del mes de mayo.

Esta semana NUESTROS CABALLEROS DE COLUMBUS nos dieron su cheque de los ingresos de su Noche de Película de

Hollywood. El cheque, en la cantidad de $ 6,700.00, entra en el fondo de construcción. Gracias de nuevo a todos los que

planearon, trabajaron y contribuyeron a este proyecto que muchas esperan que vuelva a suceder ... en un par de años.

This week OUR KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS gave us their check from the proceeds of their Hollywood Movie Night. The

check, in the amount of $6,700.00, goes into the construction fund. Thank you again to all who planned, worked and

contributed to this project that many hope will happen again…in a couple of years.

”The liberating message of the Gospel of life has been put into your hands. And the mission of proclaiming it to the ends

of the earth is now passing to your generation. Like the great apostle Paul, you too must feel the full urgency of the task:

"Woe to me if I do not evangelize" (1 Cor. 9:16). Woe to you if you do not succeed in defending life. The church needs

your energies, your enthusiasm, your youthful ideals, in order to make the Gospel of life penetrate the fabric of society,

transforming people's hearts and the structures of society in order to create a civilization of true justice and love.” –

Pope St. John Paul II to Youth in Denver August 15, 1993

"El mensaje liberador del Evangelio de la vida ha sido puesto en sus manos. Y la misión de proclamarlo a toda la tierra ha

necesita sus energías y entusiasmos, sus ideas rejuvenecidas para lograr que el Evangelio de la Vida penetre la trama de

la sociedad transformando los corazones de las personas y las estructuras sociales a fin de crear una civilización de

verdadera justicia y amor.” – Papa San Juan Pablo II a los jóvenes el 15 de Agosto, 1993, Denver, Colorado.

Easter Sunday -- April 16, 2017

In January I challenged the people of Sacred Heart to consider sacrificing luxuries to be able to give $1,000—more or less, according

to your family situation—towards our parish construction. Since then we have received a total $100,485.25 from individuals and

much more than that total from other sources. The average individual donation in that time was $1,762.90. I congratulate and

thank all of you because it has gotten us to the threshold of Phase One. Our blueprints are going out to four contractors who will

return them to us on May 9th

Last week we received the CSA PERIOD 4 REBATE in the amount of $642.50. Thank you! La semana pasada hemos

recibido la CSA período 4 rebaja en la cantidad de $642,50. Gracias!

In January I challenged the people of Sacred Heart to CONSIDER SACRIFICING LUXURIES to be able to give $1,000—more or

less, according to your family situation—towards our parish construction. Since then we have received a total $100,485.25

from individuals and much more than that total from other sources. The average individual donation in that time was

$1,762.90. I congratulate and thank all of you because it has gotten us to the threshold of Phase One. Our blueprints are

going out to four contractors who will return them to us on May 9th. Fr. Major

En enero desafía al pueblo de sagrado corazón a CONSIDERAR RENUNCIAR A LUJOS a dar $1.000, más o menos, según su

situación familiar, hacia la construcción de nuestra parroquia. Desde entonces hemos recibido un total de $100,485.25 de las

personas y mucho más que el total de otras fuentes. La donación individual de promedio en ese tiempo era de $1.762,90. Los

felicito y gracias a todos ustedes ya que nos ha llegado al umbral de la fase uno. Nuestros planes son salir a cuatro

contratistas que volverán a nosotros para el 9 de mayo. Padre Esteban

OUR BLUEPRINTS WERE APPROVED by the Diocesan Building Commission. Our financial situation still needs some firming up

to make sure we can surpass what we might need to build. The estimated cost of Phase One is right at $3 million but the

Diocese requires a 10% contingency; that means we have to be able to raise and/or borrow $300,000 over the next two or

three years, even if we won’t actually spend that much. They require this because many projects end up costing more than

planned. Our building committee has this project planned with more care than usual but it will take discipline to avoid extra

costs.

NUESTROS MODELOS FUERON APROBADOS por la Comisión de Edificación Diocesana. Nuestra situación financiera todavía

necesita algo de consolidación para asegurarnos de que podemos superar lo que podríamos necesitar para construir. El costo

estimado de la Fase Uno es de $3 millones, pero la Diócesis requiere una contingencia del 10%; eso significa que tenemos que

ser capaces de recaudar y/o pedir prestado $300,000 en los próximos dos o tres años, incluso sin realmente no gastar tanto.

Requieren esto porque muchos proyectos terminan costando más de lo planeado. Nuestro comité de construcción tiene este

proyecto planeado con más cuidado que de costumbre, pero tomará disciplina para evitar costos adicionales.

PCCW will have its monthly meeting this Wednesday, May 3, at 6:30 p.m. in the school. The quick meeting will be

followed by Crete Deanery leadership training at 7:00 p.m. in the school. Speakers are coming, as are women from the

other parishes in the deanery. All are welcome to attend. There will be cookies and coffee. Group 2 is in charge of

CLEANING CHURCH FOR MAY. Please call Pat Filip (826-2605) to volunteer.


Thursday, May 11 and Tuesday, May 23. Go online to register at www.lincolndiocese.org/nfp.

SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION. Congratulations to our 28 young people who made their First Holy Communion this

weekend and those other 44 who were Confirmed here by Bishop Bruskewitz last month. So far this year nine children

have been baptized here at Sacred Heart. Let us thank God for these signs of a healthy parish whose future is assured!

SACRAMENTOS DE INICIACIÓN. Felicitaciones a nuestros 28 jóvenes que hicieron su primera comunión este fin de

“The toleration and promotion of abortion, socially and legally, has clouded individual consciences and made it

difficult for many to distinguish between good and evil, even when what is at stake is the fundamental right to life. If we

reject the value and dignity of human life, our culture becomes more and more based on a lie and its structures cannot

long endure.” (Bishop Michael W. Warfel)

“La tolerancia y la promoción del aborto, social y legalmente, ha nublado las conciencias de los individuos y ha hecho

difícil para muchos distinguir entre el bien y el mal, aun cuando lo que está en juego es el derecho fundamental a la vida.

Si rechazamos el valor y la dignidad de la vida humana, nuestra cultura se va basando más y más en una mentira y sus

estructuras no pueden durar. (Obispo Michael W. Warfel)

Sunday in Ordinary Time -- August 6, 2017

Group 5 is in charge of VOLUNTEERS WHO CLEAN OUR CHURCH for August. Please consider helping out on a Saturday morning for an hour—work starts at 9:00am. Call Paula Valenta for more information: 826-3089.

Mark your calendars! THE GODTEEN KICKOFF PIZZA PARTY will be SEPTEMBER 6, 2017 at 7 pm in the city park. All incoming Freshmen-Seniors of our parish are invited to join us for pizza and games!

CONSTRUCTION NEWS Since work began, many questions have been asked: are we tearing down the old building? Answer: of course not! WE just installed new windows and re-did the gym floor. What are we building? Three new classrooms, a 275 seat parish hall, parish offices for the secretary and priests, a kitchen and bathrooms are all part of the new building that attaches to the existing school. When will it be finished? May 2018. A locked construction fence will be installed around the perimeter of the project and a work trailer will appear soon as well.

NOTICIAS DE CONSTRUCCIÓN. Desde que empezó el trabajo, se han hecho muchas preguntas: ¿estamos derribando el viejo edificio? Respuesta: ¡Por supuesto que no! Acabamos de instalar nuevas ventanas y volver a hacer el piso del gimnasio. ¿Qué estamos construyendo? Tres nuevas clases, una sala parroquial de 275 asientos, oficinas parroquiales para la secretaria y los sacerdotes, una cocina y baños son parte del nuevo edificio que se unen a la escuela existente. Cuándo va a estar terminado? Para Mayo del 2018. Se instalará una cerca de construcción cerrada alrededor del perímetro del proyecto y un remolque de trabajo aparecerá pronto también.

There will be NO WINDSOR LOIN FALL DINNER—JUST THIS YEAR in November. Instead, we will have a rummage sale around then as an Altar Society (PCCW) fundraiser. It will give everyone a good chance to look at our gymnasium, which now has new windows and a refinished/repainted floor that all looks just beautiful!

NUESTRA KERMESSE será para el domingo 17 de septiembre de las 11:00 de la mañana hasta las 7:00 de la noche. This year’s FOOD FESTIVAL will be held on Sunday, September 17th from 11:00am-7:00pm.

Interesting NOTES FROM OUR YEAR-END FINANCIAL REPORT: over the last 52 Sundays we gave $298,000 in envelopes, $67,000 by direct deposit and $78,000 in loose cash that wasn’t in envelopes. Interest income from our D.I.A.L assets was $37,900. Our school’s tuition income was $74,300. We have a school endowment that generated $36,500 last year; endowments do great good for a school or parish! School utilities were $39,800; school salaries $340,600. Parish salaries (two priests, hourly employees) totaled $53,300; health insurance for two priests was $17,600. The most amazing thing is that we put together over $2.7 million dollars for a parish hall over the last six years in a town of 7,000 people—thank you all for your heroic generosity, dedication and patience! More financial facts will come as we publish our annual financial report.

FUNERAL PRE-PLANNING is a good idea. Often when death comes suddenly to a person, the family is left to decide things like place of burial, names of pallbearers, funeral music, number of people to plan for, etc. when they are in shock and very vulnerable. Why not do your family a favor and write down some of those decisions now? Most funeral homes are glad to provide information without requiring a person to buy anything ahead of time—although that is an option some choose. It’s important to note that there are some limitations in what can be done at a funeral Mass. The reason for this is that the Mass ( all sacraments) are considered “public worship”. As with public buildings, public

worship can’t be changed to fit individual tastes. When families request popular music I suggest that it be used after the Rosary or after the conclusion of prayers at the cemetery. This is also the time & place for speakers and eulogies.

NOTAS DE NUESTRO INFORME FINANCIERO FIN DEL AÑO: durante los últimos 52 domingos dimos $ 298.000 en sobres, $67.000 por depósito directo y $ 78.000 en efectivo suelto que no estaba en sobres. Los ingresos por intereses de nuestros activos de D.I.A.L fueron de $ 37,900. El ingreso de la escuela fue $ 74,300. Tenemos una donación de la escuela que generó $36.500 el año pasado; Las dotaciones hacen un gran bien para una escuela o para la parroquia! Las utilidades de la escuela eran $39.800; Salarios escolares $ 340,600. Los salarios parroquiales (dos sacerdotes, empleados por hora) se totalizaron a $53,300; Seguro de salud para dos sacerdotes fue de $ 17.600. Lo más sorprendente es que reunimos más de $ 2,7 millones de dólares para un salón parroquial en los últimos seis años en un pueblo de 7.000 personas, ¡gracias a todos por su heroica generosidad, dedicación y paciencia! Más datos financieros vendrán a medida que publicamos nuestro informe financiero anual.

PRE-PLANIFICACIÓN DE ENTIERRO es idea buena. A menudo cuando la muerte llega repentinamente a una persona, la familia se deja para decidir cosas como el lugar del entierro, los nombres de los portadores de paño, la música funeral, el número de gente para planear, etc. cuando están en choque y muy vulnerables. ¿Por qué no hacer un favor a su familia y escribir algunas de esas decisiones ahora? La mayoría de las casas funerarias se complacen en proporcionar información sin necesidad de que una persona compre nada antes de tiempo, aunque es una opción que algunos eligen. Es importante señalar que hay algunas limitaciones en lo que se puede hacer en una misa fúnebre. La razón de esto es que la Misa (todos los sacramentos) se consideran "adoración pública". Al igual que con los edificios públicos, el culto público no se puede cambiar para adaptarse a los gustos individuales. Cuando las familias piden música popular, sugiero que se use después del Rosario o después de la conclusión de las oraciones en el cementerio. Este es también el momento y el lugar para los oradores y elogiados.

MAGNIFICAT SUMMER PRAYER MEAL Saturday morning August 12, 9:30 am at Hillcrest Country Club, 9401 East O Street, Lincoln, NE. Special guest speaker Becky Mach Deaver.

RACHEL’S VINEYARD: Healing the Pain of Abortion, One Weekend at a Time In Jesus’ ministry, He was often an outcast

to His own people; women and men who have experienced an abortion often feel like outcasts, isolated and alone. If

you or someone you know is suffering from an abortion decision, Jesus understands your pain. Allow Jesus to work a

miracle in your heart. Rachel’s Vineyard retreats are all about healing the pain of abortion one weekend at a time. The

next Kansas City retreat will be on September 22-24, 2017. Please call (816) 679-4973 or email [email protected] for

confidential information and to start the healing. Please pray for all involved that God’s grace will renew and heal all

involved.

"Nowadays efforts are made to deny them [unborn children] their human dignity and to do with them whatever one pleases, taking

their lives and passing laws preventing anyone from standing in the way of this. Frequently, as a way of ridiculing the Church’s effort

to defend their lives, attempts are made to present her position as ideological, obscurantist and conservative. Yet this defense of

unborn life is closely linked to the defense of each and every other human right. It involves the conviction that a human being is

always sacred and inviolable, in any situation and at every stage of development" -- Pope Francis, Apostolic Exhortation "THE JOY OF

THE GOSPEL," November 24, 2013

Entre esos débiles, que la Iglesia quiere cuidar con predilección, están también los niños por nacer, que son los más indefensos e

inocentes de todos, a quienes hoy se les quiere negar su dignidad humana en orden a hacer con ellos lo que se quiera, quitándoles la

vida y promoviendo legislaciones para que nadie pueda impedirlo. Frecuentemente, para ridiculizar alegremente la defensa que la

Iglesia hace de sus vidas, se procura presentar su postura como algo ideológico, oscurantista y conservador. Sin embargo, esta

defensa de la vida por nacer está íntimamente ligada a la defensa de cualquier derecho humano. Supone la convicción de que un ser

humano es siempre sagrado e inviolable, en cualquier situación y en cada etapa de su desarrollo. “EVANGELII GAUDIUM,” 13 de

noviembre 2014

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time -- August 6, 2017

Group is in charge of CLEANING CHURCH for August.

CONSTRUCTION NEWS Last month the temporary lease agreement for Ivy Street between (north from the alley to 14th Street) was signed, freeing us to close it permanently. Once the purchase agreement is done we will own that land for our project; work may begin before that’s actually completed. The invisible work on our project—ordering things, getting people and equipment ready—has begun. We will start to see a difference soon enough. When that happens we will be inconvenienced as far as parking goes until the current office and school library is moved out next summer; after that is done

the land there will be paved for parking. There will be no more demolition of buildings, though: the current office/library can be moved away intact, so we will put it up for sale when that time comes. Our next church has been designed. The plan is to connect it to the parish hall by an *overflow hallway that crosses what is now Ivy Street. Until the time is right to build the new church let’s together prepare for it by using this church reverently and respectfully, keeping it clean and beautiful.

NOTICIAS DE CONSTRUCCIÓN En Julio 2017 firmó el contrato de arrendamiento temporal de Ivy Street entre (al norte del callejón a la calle 14), liberándonos para cerrarlo permanentemente. Una vez que el acuerdo de compra se hace, nosotros poseeremos esa tierra para nuestro proyecto; El trabajo puede comenzar antes de que se haya completado. El trabajo invisible en nuestro proyecto -ordenando cosas, preparando gente y equipo- ha comenzado. Empezaremos a ver una diferencia pronto. Cuando eso ocurra nos molestará hasta que llegue el estacionamiento hasta que la oficina actual y la biblioteca de la escuela sean trasladadas el próximo verano; Después de que se haga la tierra allí será pavimentada para el estacionamiento. No habrá más demolición de edificios, sin embargo: la oficina actual / biblioteca puede ser movido intacto, por lo que lo pondrá a la venta cuando llegue ese momento. Nuestra próxima iglesia ha sido diseñada. El plan es conectarlo al pasillo de la parroquia por un * pasillo del desbordamiento que cruce lo que ahora es calle de la hiedra. Hasta que haya llegado el momento de construir la nueva iglesia, juntos preparémosla usando esta iglesia con reverencia y respeto, manteniéndola limpia y bella.

THE FIRST HUMAN RIGHT Cardinal Renato Martino, when serving as President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, said the following in an interview conducted for Priests for Life in May, 2004: "The Holy Father speaks of the protection of life as the fundamental realization and respect for human rights. Without that realization, without that respect for the right to life, no other discussion of human rights can continue; it must be based upon the foundation of human dignity and the right to life." EL PRIMER DERECHO HUMANO El Cardenal Renato Martino, cuando ejercía el cargo de Presidente del Consejo Pontificio de “Justicia y Paz”, dijo lo siguiente en una entrevista conducida por Sacerdotes por la Vida en Mayo del 2004: “El Santo Padre habla de la protección a la vida como la realización fundamental y respeto por los derechos humanos. Sin esa realización, sin ese respeto por el derecho a la vida, no otra discusión sobre los derecho humanos puede continuar; debe ser basada sobre la base de la dignidad humana y del derecho a la vida.”

Queridos hermanos: No olviden que para el Señor, un día es como mil años y mil años, como un día. No es que el Señor se tarde, como algunos suponen, en cumplir su promesa, sino que les tiene a ustedes mucha paciencia, pues no quiere que nadie perezca, sino que todos se arrepientan. 2 Pd 3, 8-10

"The DOANE CATHOLIC NEWMAN CLUB wants to

thank our generous parishioners for their

donations for needy families this holiday season.

The group raised $970.61. The students consulted

with Sr. Mary Alma, principal of St. James, and

nine families will each receive a $100 gift card in

time for Christmas. The group used St. James

SCRIP to purchase the gift cards, which gave the

SCRIP program an additional $27 that will benefit

St. James’ teachers. The leftover $70.61 was

donated to the Sacred Heart Building Fund. The

students truly appreciate the parish's support on

this project."

"Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” Luke 1:30

El ángel le dijo: "No temas, María, porque has hallado gracia ante Dios. Vas a concebir y a dar a luz un hijo y le pondrás por nombre Jesús. Él será grande y será llamado Hijo del Altísimo; el Señor Dios le dará el trono de David, su padre, y él reinará sobre la casa de Jacob por los siglos y su reinado no tendrá fin". Lc. 1:30

"Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” Luke 1:30

El ángel le dijo: "No temas, María, porque has hallado gracia ante Dios. Vas a concebir y a dar a luz un hijo y le pondrás por nombre Jesús. Él será grande y será llamado Hijo del Altísimo; el Señor Dios le dará el trono de David, su padre, y él reinará sobre la casa de Jacob por los siglos y su reinado no tendrá fin". Lc. 1:30

Holy Family Sunday—

December 31, 2017

SANCTUARY OF LIFE This weekend we celebrate the

Feast of the Holy Family. Though he was conceived of

a virgin, Jesus nevertheless lived as a son in a human

family -- a family which points the way for the rest of

us. The family is the sanctuary of life. There can be

no life without family, and there can be no family

without life. The family, above all, is where life is to

be welcomed, no matter how fragile or inconvenient

it may be. One of the many reasons why the Pope

and bishops identify abortion and euthanasia as pre-

eminent issues is because these crimes are

committed by one family member upon another.

May the Holy Family lead us to a Culture of Life!

SANTUARIO DE VIDA Este fin de semana celebramos

la Fiesta de la Sagrada Familia. Aunque Jesús fue

concebido por una virgen, no obstante, vivió como

hijo en una familia humana – una familia que nos

señala el camino al resto de nosotros. La familia es

santuario de vida. No puede haber vida sin familia, y

no puede haber familia sin vida. La familia, por

encima de todo, es donde la vida es acogida, sin

importar cuán frágil o cuán inconveniente pudiera

ser. Una de las tantas razones por las que el Papa y

los obispos identifican al aborto y la eutanasia como

asuntos preeminentes es porque estos crímenes son

cometidos por parte de un miembro de la familia

para con el otro. ¡Que la Sagrada Familia nos

conduzca a la Cultura de la Vida!

TWENTY MORE SUGGESTIONS FOR THINGS TO DO

FOR THE CIVIL YEAR 2018. 31. Ask someone to tell

you their fondest memory. 32. Think of a past hurt

you could let go of; ask God for the grace to do it.

33. Share a smile. 34. Remember names of men and

women who taught you and share stories about

them with family. 35. Make a cheerful comment in

public. 36. Say a prayer when you hear an

ambulance or fire truck. 37. Teach someone to pray

the Rosary. 38. Interview an elder about their youth

and record their stories. 39. Wash your windows and

pray for the homeless as you do it. 40. Shut off the

(phone/computer/tablet) screen, light a candle and

have a face-to-face chat with someone for an hour.

41. Pray for people connected to a homicide—police,

victims, perpetrators, relatives. 42. Listen to a

vintage radio show instead of watching tv. 43. Try

watercolor painting and make a gift for someone.

44. Pray for people who suddenly lost one of their

senses—hearing, sight, touch, taste, smell. 45. Find

all the change in your couch/car/dresser and donate

ten times that much to charity. 46. Pick a day to

make a religious pilgrimage. 47. Read a story about a

canonized saint. 48. Listen (online or in person) to

people praying in a language you don’t understand.

49. Pray for people who were widowed last year. 50.

Thank God for everything. 51. Repeat. (that’s 21, I

know)

VEINTE MAS SUGERENCIAS PARA LAS COSAS QUE

HACER PARA EL AÑO CIVIL 2018. 31. Pídale a alguien

que le diga cuál es su mejor recuerdo. 32. Piensa en

un daño pasado que podrías soltar; pide a Dios la

gracia para hacerlo. 33. Comparte una sonrisa. 34.

Recuerda nombres de hombres y mujeres que te

enseñaron y comparte historias sobre ellos con la

familia. 35. Haz un comentario alegre en público. 36.

Diga una oración cuando escuche una ambulancia o

un camión de bomberos. 37. Enseña a alguien a rezar

el Rosario. 38. Entreviste a un anciano acerca de su

juventud y grabe sus historias. 39. Lávese las

ventanas y ore por las personas sin hogar mientras lo

hace. 40. Apague la pantalla (teléfono /

computadora / tableta), encienda una vela y

mantenga una conversación cara a cara con otra

persona durante una hora. 41. Ore por las personas

relacionadas con un homicidio: la policía, las

víctimas, los perpetradores y los familiares. 42.

Escucha un programa de radio vintage en lugar de

mirar televisión. 43. Pruebe la pintura de acuarela y

haga un regalo para alguien. 44. Ore por personas

que de repente pierden uno de sus sentidos: oír, ver,

tocar, probar, oler. 45. Encuentra todo el cambio en

tu sofá / coche / vestidor y dona diez veces más a la

caridad. 46. Elige un día para hacer una

peregrinación religiosa. 47. Lee una historia sobre un

santo canonizado. 48. Escucha (en línea o en

persona) a personas que rezan en un idioma que no

entiendes. 49. Ora por la gente que enviudó el año

pasado. 50. Gracias a Dios por todo. 51. Repita. (Eso

es 21, lo sé)

To avoid frustration and disappointment, please

request early when SCHEDULING MASS INTENTIONS

for a specific date and time. English language Masses

are almost completely booked into April. Weekday

5:30pm Spanish Masses have lots of openings. The

customary offering for Mass in the Diocese of Lincoln

In addition to our current parish bookkeeper and secretary Debbie Lorenz, there is a NEW FACE in our parish office from

8:30-3:00 weekdays. Veronica Ortiz, a wife and mother of two elementary age children is originally from Lexington. She

comes to us with school and parish secretarial experience. Her first task has been to do some updating of the parish

database by calling all of the phone numbers we have listed to see if they are still current. Since she does this in daytime

working hours most of you will get a recorded message; please kindly confirm your details by returning the call at your

convenience. We received a grant from the Flavin Fund—part of the Joy of the Gospel Campaign—to cover the additional

expense.

Además de nuestra actual contadora y secretaria Debbie Lorenz, hay una CARA NUEVA en la oficina de nuestra parroquia,

ella estará de 8:30-3:00 toda la semana. Verónica Ortiz es casada y tiene dos hijos en la primaria, ella originalmente es de

Lexington. Ella vino aquí estudiada y con alguna experiencia de secretaria parroquial. Su primer trabajo que tiene que

hacer es en llamar a todos los miembros de la parroquia y verificar que la información que tenemos todavía esta correcta,

a algunas talvez les deje mensaje; por favor amablemente confirme sus detalles y regrésele la llamada cuando usted

pueda.

A Cursillo (the full name is “Cursillo de Cristiandad”) is an ENCOUNTER WITH CHRIST. Cursillo (pronounced kur-see-yo) is

a Spanish word meaning “little” or “short course,” so a Cursillo is a “short course in Christianity.” Cursillo offers the

opportunity for personal growth in your faith, thus allowing you to better share your faith with others in your everyday

life. The goal of Cursillo is to make Christ the prime influence in society by helping Christians better understand their

power and mission to become leaven in civic, social and economic life. We need Christian leaven in the world!! Are you

interested in being that leaven in your corner of the world? You may have experienced a profound conversion on a

retreat intending to make changes in your life, but over time, fall back into the same ol’ ruts. The follow-up tools of Group

Reunion and Ultreya help the cursillista to continue daily down the path of conversion and growing closer to Christ … and

we bring our brothers and sisters with us! Cursillo Weekends are scheduled at St. Patrick Parish in McCook, NE, March 16-

19, 2017 (Men) and March 23–26, 2017 (Women). If you would like more information, about Cursillo or the 2017

Weekends, contact John Springer, Lay Director for the Lincoln Diocese (402-826-2699; email [email protected])

or Greg Vandenberg Coordinator for the Men’s Weekend (308-530-7587; [email protected]) or Kathy Springer

THE POWER OF PRAYER Ciudad Juárez, located in the state of Chihuahua in northern Mexico, was considered between

2008 and 2010 as one of the most dangerous cities in the world, due to the violence of drug trafficking and the constant

struggles of power and territory between the cartels. However, this city of 1.3 million people left this list thanks to a

significant decrease in the number of homicides: from 3,766 in 2010 to 256 in 2015. Every Friday the Blessed Sacrament

is exposed on the altar from 9:00am-9:00pm in our church. If you would like to commit to a regular hour of adoration on

Fridays, contact the church office.

Ciudad Juárez, ubicada en el estado de Chihuahua en el norte de México, fue considerada entre 2008 y 2010 como una de

las ciudades más peligrosas del mundo, debido a la violencia del narcotráfico y las constantes luchas de poder y territorio

entre los carteles. Sin embargo, esta ciudad de 1,3 millones de habitantes salió de esa lista gracias a una importante

disminución en el número de homicidios: de 3.766 en 2010 a 256 en 2015. Todos los viernes adoramos al Santísimo por

doce horas, desde las 9:00 de la mañana hasta las 9:00pm de la noche. Si Ud. Quiere colaborar con nuestra programa

de adoración, contáctese con la oficina parrochial. Se habla español.

“WE WANT TO SUCCEED IN MARRIAGE” is a reason often given for unmarried couples who move in together but it can

often become a rehearsal for various selfish habits. Holding back from commitment may be the most important one.

Since unmarried people who live together understand that the arrangement is not permanent, they may get used to it

and even prefer it to the unconditional vows of marriage. In cases like that, the odds of success drop instead of rising.

Half of couples who cohabit don’t ever marry, and half of those who do, later divorce—an overall 25% success rate.

Save the dates! ST. WENCESLAUS CHURCH IN WILBER will be hosting a Parish Mission before & during Lent:

• Monday, February 13 (pre-Lent), 7:00-8:00 pm: Matthew Simmons, “Unbound” Ministry Coordinator for the

diocese, will give a very powerful and inspiring witness talk on God’s love and mercy.

• Sunday, March 5, 7:00-8:00 pm: Matthew Simmons will give the 1st of two presentations on prayer.

• Monday, March 6, 7:00-8:00 pm: Matthew Simmons will give the 2nd presentation on prayer.

• Wednesday, March 8, 6:30-8:00 pm: Mr. Jim Bertrand will give a detailed presentation on the Holy Shroud of

Turin with an actual size replica available for viewing!

“WE WANT TO SUCCEED IN MARRIAGE” is a reason often given for unmarried couples who move in together but it can

often become a rehearsal for various selfish habits. Holding back from commitment may be the most important one.

Since unmarried people who live together understand that the arrangement is not permanent, they may get used to it

and even prefer it to the unconditional vows of marriage. In cases like that, the odds of success drop instead of rising.

Half of couples who cohabit don’t ever marry, and half of those who do, later divorce—an overall 25% success rate.

Fr. Jacque Philippe will speak on "PERSONAL PRAYER AND A DEEP RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD" at St Thomas Aquinas

Newman Center, Lincoln, 8 PM on Mon. Feb. 20. The evening includes Adoration and a reception with Fr. Philippe. Free

will offering. Books will be available.

give a very powerful and inspiring witness talk on God’s love and mercy. Sunday, March 5, 7:00-8:00 pm: Matthew

Simmons will give the 1st of two presentations on prayer. Monday, March 6, 7:00-8:00 pm: Matthew Simmons will give

A CURSILLO (the full name is “Cursillo de Cristiandad”) is an encounter with Christ. Cursillo (pronounced kur-see-yo) is a

Ladies, a good way to begin Lent- attend Ash Wednesday retreat at Good Counsel Retreat Center, Waverly. Begins 9 a.m. Cost $10.

Bring sack lunch. Lead by Fr. Kubat.

WE HAD A BIG WEEK for construction gifts and we got a very nice Joy of the Gospel rebate. Over the weekend $26,761.00 came in; thank you!

Our parish building committee continues to work with BVH Architects of Lincoln to complete blueprints so that we may seek bids and try to begin

Phase One this summer. A check from the Joy of the Gospel capital campaign came on Valentine’s Day in the amount of $6,482.17; that money will

go towards new windows in the gymnasium which will help insulate better and prevent yellowing of the floor. We are also looking at a very low

cost way to refinish that gym floor this summer.

TUVIMOS UNA GRAN SEMANA de regalos de construcción y agarramos un buen rebate por parte de Joy of the Gospel. Durante el fin de semana se

recaudaron $26,761.00; muchas gracias! Nuestro comité de construir nuestro centro continua trabajando con BVH Architects de Lincoln, para que

complete los planos y para que busquemos una apuesta y tratemos de comenzar durante el verano. La cantidad de la campaña por parte de Joy of

the Gospel, la recibimos para el día de san Valentín en la cantidad de $6,482.17; ese dinero lo usaremos para nuestras ventanas de nuestro

8:15 English, 12:15pm English, 5:30 Español, 7:00pm Bilingual

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.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE We continue to receive donations—some of them substantial—towards our parish building

project. Right now we have nearly enough money to compete Phase One, which could start this coming summer if we

raise another $400,000 by April. Our building committee has worked hard for some years to get us to this point, carefully

considering the needs and wants of our parish. This dream will be fulfilled by all of us. Remember, rich people do not

build things—generous people do. Please consider what you can contribute to help us “push to the wire” and complete

this first phase.

NUEVA CONSTRUCCIÓN En estos días finales de 2016 vemos donaciones -algunas de ellas sustanciales- hacia nuestro

proyecto de construcción de la parroquia. En este momento tenemos casi el dinero suficiente para cumplir la Primera Fase,

que podría comenzar este mayo 2017 si recaudamos otros $400,000 para abril. Nuestro comité de construcción ha

trabajado duro por algunos años para llegar hasta este punto, considerando cuidadosamente las necesidades y deseos de

nuestra parroquia. Este sueño será cumplido por todos nosotros. Recuerde, la gente rica no construye cosas-las personas

generosas lo hacen. Por favor, piensa en cuanto más Ud. puede colaborar para esta primera fase.

INSPIRATION is coming in the form of a parish mission this coming March. Fr. Ryan Kaup of Lincoln will be here in Crete

as we begin the holy season of Lent. Mark your calendar for the second week of March for some evenings that will

deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ. More details will be coming soon.

INFORMATION You are welcome to use our parish subscription to www.formed.org, a Catholic resource website that

offers movies, books, complete courses in the Catholic Faith and much more. Just go to the page and enter this as the

parish code: 34BQZB. You’ll be asked for an email address (you can opt out of their emails) and you need to make up a

new password. Then you have unlimited use of these resources at home, in your car and at the gym. It’s a gift of the Joy

of the Gospel capital campaign’s evangelization component.

INVITATION Are you a non-Catholic who came to Mass on Christmas and now you are curious about the Catholic Faith?

Please contact us and we’ll help you learn more. Adult classes are underway now that you’re welcome to join without

obligation or expectation. You can also meet individually with a priest from this parish who will answer your questions

about what Catholics believe and Catholic practices like fasting and abstinence during Lent. Call or text Fr. Christopher

Stoley: (402)802-8792. Fr. Steve Major: (402) 326-1557.

RESOLUTION PROPOSITIONS Make a good confession: in odd-numbered months/ when you get a haircut/ with the four

changes of season. Take inventory of your house, including those junk drawers. Make a Last Will and Testament, even if

you’re 25 years old; have a party with friends to celebrate. Schedule yourself for a weekend retreat at

www.Goodcounselretreat.org; discover how good it can be to have someone else cook and clean up for you while you

renew your relationship with Jesus. Start doing regular daily prayers using a phone app like Laudate or iBreviary; you can

look at the Scripture readings for Mass ahead of time.

YEAR END DONATIONS to our parish and to the Construction Fund need to be received in time to be counted for 2016 tax

purposes. Please be sure your check or envelope bears the 2016 date and is received in time. Anything found in this

weekend’s collection will be regarded as you intend it to be. May God reward your generosity to our parish. Thank you!

PCCW (ALTAR SOCIETY) meets this Wednesday, January 4, at 6:30 p.m. in the parish meeting room, which is across the

alley from our school’s main entrance. All are welcome. Group 4 is in charge of cleaning church for January. Please

contact Lori Manson (826-2664) to volunteer.

The Diocese of Lincoln requires that its employees and volunteers REPORT ANY ALLEGATIONS OF ABUSE OR NEGLECT of

a minor or Elder connected with church related activity to law enforcement, consistent with the requirements of

Nebraska law. If anyone has information that a minor or elder is being or has been subjected to abuse or neglect please

report it immediately to local law enforcement or to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services toll free

number 1-800-652-1999, and also to any Parish Pastor, School administrator, teacher or to any Diocesan official at the

Catholic chancery 402-488-0921, so that immediate steps may be taken for the protection of the minor or elder.

THE ANNUAL NEBRASKA WALK FOR LIFE happens on Saturday, January 14th, 2017. This will be the 43rd year that

Nebraska Right to Life puts on this event which draws thousands of Nebraskans to Lincoln, first to the State Capitol and

then ending at the UN-L Student Union to hear the keynote speaker. 2017's Speaker, Rebekah Buell, has a story that is

seldom heard. It is how she reversed her chemical RU-486 abortion and saved the life of her young son who will be

present with her at the Walk. In recent years a medical technology was devised to reverse the killing impact of RU-486 on

the developing baby and more and more women are finding out about this life-saving option. Rebekah’s story is sure to

send you home full of inspiration for reaching out to those who are at risk of chemical abortions from the three abortion

facilities in Nebraska and those in Kansas and Colorado which also draw girls and women from our border.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! The beginning of a new calendar year brings us a special joy and hope. It is a reminder that time is a

gift of God, given to us from His eternity, for us to use to prepare for eternity. The passing of each year and each day is

meant to be an exchange with God: He gives us time, and we give our days and years back to Him in service and love,

bringing as much good as possible into the world and into the lives of others. Each year we can resolve to serve God

faithfully: to believe more firmly, to hope more ardently, to love more generously. That is what makes a year “happy,”

and that is what leads us to the happiness that never ends. ¡FELIZ AÑO NUEVO! Cada año nuevo nos trae gozo

http://www.formed.org/

http://www.goodcounselretreat.org/

y esperanza especial. Nos recuerda de que el tiempo es un regalo de Dios, que nos lo da desde Su eternidad, para que nos

preparemos para la eternidad. El pasar de cada año y de cada día debe ser un intercambio con Dios: Él nos da el tiempo, y

nosotros le regresamos nuestros días y nuestros años en servicio y amor, haciendo el mayor bien posible en el mundo y en

la vida de los demás. El Año Nuevo es una oportunidad para hacer el propósito, por sobre todas las cosas, de servir a Dios

con fidelidad: creyendo más firmemente, esperando más ardientemente, amando más generosamente. Esto es lo que

hace a un Año Nuevo “feliz,” y eso es lo que nos lleva a la felicidad que nunca termina.

Epiphany Sunday JANUARY 8, 2017

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE Our architect is working on a set of blueprints for Phase One; they should be ready to give out

to construction companies who could give us bids this spring. The project has to begin after school lets out because the

new building attaches to the west wall of our school. Also, we are getting an updated cost estimate for Phase One so we

have a very accurate idea of what it will cost us to build. Right now we need about $400,000 more collected to do Phase

One. We cannot borrow money to do this—the Diocese of Lincoln has no more money to loan out right now. As hard as

that makes things for us, it probably saves us at least $100,000 in interest payments if we had instead borrowed $3

million! Please consider whether you can make a lifestyle sacrifice to help make this happen. Thank you, and let us pray!

NUEVA CONSTRUCCIÓN Nuestro arquitecto está trabajando en un conjunto de planos para la Fase Uno; Esos deben estar

listos para dar a las empresas de construcción que podrían darnos ofertas esta primavera. El proyecto tiene que comenzar

después de que la escuela abandone porque el nuevo edificio se adhiere a la pared oeste de nuestra escuela. Además,

estamos recibiendo una estimación de costos actualizada para la Fase Uno, así que tenemos una idea muy precisa de lo

que nos costará construir. En este momento necesitamos unos $ 400,000 más recolectados para hacer la Fase Uno. No

podemos pedir prestado dinero para hacer esto: la Diócesis de Lincoln no tiene más dinero para prestar en este momento.

¡Tan duro como eso hace cosas para nosotros, nos ahorra probablemente por lo menos $ 100.000 en pagos de interés si

HERE’S TO A BETTER YEAR Make a good confession: in odd-numbered months/ when you get a haircut/ with the four

changes of season. Take inventory of your house, including those junk drawers. Make a Last Will and Testament, even if

you’re 25 years old; have a party with friends to celebrate. Schedule yourself for a weekend retreat at

www.Goodcounselretreat.org; discover how good it can be to have someone else cook and clean up for you while you

renew your relationship with Jesus. Start doing regular daily prayers using a phone app like Laudate or iBreviary; you can

look at the Scripture readings for Mass ahead of time.

This year your SCRIP purchases enabled us to give our school teachers a generous bonus each for Christmas as well as to

our school's hourly staff. Thank you for your purchases!

LA VIDA: “EPIFANÍA” DE DIOS “La vida es siempre un bien. … ¿Por qué la vida es un bien? Esta pregunta se encuentra en

todas partes en la Biblia, y desde las primeras páginas recibe una poderosa y sorprendente respuesta. La vida que Dios da

al hombre es muy diferente a la vida de todas las otras criaturas vivientes, aun cuando el hombre haya sido formado del

polvo de la tierra (Gen 2:7, 3:19; Job 34:15; Salmo 103:14; 104:29), es una manifestación de Dios en el mundo, un signo de

su presencia, un destello de su gloria (Gen 1:26-27; Salmo 8:6). Esto es lo que San Ireneo de León quería enfatizar en su

célebre definición: ‘El hombre, el hombre vivo, es la gloria de Dios.’ Al hombre se la ha dado una sublime dignidad, basada

en el íntimo vínculo que lo une a su Creador: “en el hombre brilla un reflejo del propio Dios. (San Juan Pablor II: El

Evangelio de la Vida, no. 34).

LIFE: AN “EPIPHANY” OF GOD “Life is always a good. … Why is life a good? This question is found everywhere in the

Bible, and from the very first pages it receives a powerful and amazing answer. The life which God gives man is quite

different from the life of all other living creatures, inasmuch as man, although formed from the dust of the earth (cf. Gen

2:7, 3:19; Job 34:15; Ps 103:14; 104:29), is a manifestation of God in the world, a sign of his presence, a trace of his glory

(cf. Gen 1:26-27; Ps 8:6). This is what Saint Irenaeus of Lyons wanted to emphasize in his celebrated definition: ‘Man,

living man, is the glory of God’. Man has been given a sublime dignity, based on the intimate bond which unites him to his

Creator: in man there shines forth a reflection of God himself” (St. John Paul II: The Gospel of Life, n. 34).

Second Sunday of Ordinary Time -- January 15, 2017

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE Our architect is working on a set of blueprints for Phase One; they should be ready to give out

to construction companies who could give us bids this spring. The project has to begin after school lets out because the

new building attaches to the west wall of our school. Also, we are getting an updated cost estimate for Phase One so we

have a very accurate idea of what it will cost us to build. Right now we need about $400,000 more collected to do Phase

One. We cannot borrow money to do this—the Diocese of Lincoln has no more money to loan out right now. As hard as

that makes things for us, it probably saves us at least $100,000 in interest payments if we had instead borrowed $3

million! Please consider whether you can make a lifestyle sacrifice to help make this happen. Thank you, and let us pray!

NUEVA CONSTRUCCIÓN Nuestro arquitecto está trabajando en un conjunto de planos para la Fase Uno; Esos deben estar

listos para dar a las empresas de construcción que podrían darnos ofertas esta primavera. El proyecto tiene que comenzar

después de que la escuela abandone porque el nuevo edificio se adhiere a la pared oeste de nuestra escuela. Además,

estamos recibiendo una estimación de costos actualizada para la Fase Uno, así que tenemos una idea muy precisa de lo

que nos costará construir. En este momento necesitamos unos $ 400,000 más recolectados para hacer la Fase Uno. No

podemos pedir prestado dinero para hacer esto: la Diócesis de Lincoln no tiene más dinero para prestar en este momento.

¡Tan duro como eso hace cosas para nosotros, nos ahorra probablemente por lo menos $ 100.000 en pagos de interés si

habíamos prestado $3 millones! Por favor, considere si puede hacer un sacrificio de estilo de vida para ayudar a que esto

suceda. ¡Gracias, y oremos!

__________________________________________________________________________________

Third Sunday of Ordinary Time -- January 22, 2017

PCCW will attend the 8:15 a.m. Mass tomorrow at Sacred Heart on Monday, January 23. All are welcome. They will

gather afterwards for fellowship. The mass is for the legal protection of unborn children, near the anniversary of the

Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized all abortions.

HEALING HEARTS, CHANGING MINDS Since January 22nd

1973 tens of millions of abortions have ended the lives of

innocent children in the womb. The aftermath has left millions of women hurting and confused. Please use tomorrow as

a day of prayer to help our nation move away from this trap, so fraught with harm. Follow this link:

www.usccb.org/about/pro-life-activities/january-roe-events/join-9-days-for-life.cfm to pray for all who suffer from past

abortions and to take part in building what St. John Paul II called “a culture of life”.

FINDING FORGIVENESS Linda is a woman who had an abortion. She writes, “My breaking point with …[my former] Church

was when I was feeling truly guilty because of what I had done, I knew it was wrong, but people were trying to justify it to

me. I didn’t need justification, I needed to know how to reconcile an already fragmented relationship with the Lord I

desired... but I was too weighed down and no one seemed to see the need of forgiveness and reconciliation, at least until

I came into contact with the Catholic Church. The funny thing is, so many people seem to see the Church as

uncompassionate and uncaring, but it was where I found love, acceptance, and forgiveness...”

PHASE ONE DETAILS AND UPDATES This past week our building committee took advice from people who use our parish

kitchen to help design the new one in Phase One. A number of useful and important changes were made to the design.

ABOUT THOSE CLASSROOMS Maybe when you hear ‘three new classrooms’ you wonder, “why? Won’t it cost more to

have three more teachers?” The new design swaps out three rooms: one for the school office, one for the library and one

for 5th grade that shares a classroom with 6th

right now. St. James will still be a K-6 school and we don’t plan to add

teachers.

This week more than $25,000 has come in for our PUSH TO THE WIRE appeal to finish gathering funds to build Phase One

(270 seat parish center, offices, three school/CCD classrooms, kitchen, outdoor plaza). Please consider making a sacrifice

of some luxury between now and April 1st

to help complete our dream of a ground floor gathering facility. The challenge

http://www.usccb.org/about/pro-life-activities/january-roe-events/join-9-days-for-life.cfm

is for $1,000 donations but of course yours might be more or less than that. Thank you to those who have already

generously come forward to join in this effort.

Another way to support our building effort—and the Crete Cares Charity—is to be a part of HOLLYWOOD MOVIE NIGHT

on Saturday, February 11th

. It starts at 5:00pm with light hors d’oeuvres at Crete’s new Brew House on Main Street,

followed by a surprise movie at the Isis Theater and finishing with team movie trivia, drinks and social back at the Brew

House after the movie. The donation is $100 per ticket. It’s a project of our local Knights of Columbus.

In addition to our current parish bookkeeper and secretary Debbie Lorenz, there is a NEW FACE in our parish office from

8:30-3:00 weekdays. Veronica Ortiz, a wife and mother of two elementary age children is originally from Lexington. She

comes to us with school and parish secretarial experience. Her first task has been to do some updating of the parish

database by calling all of the phone numbers we have listed to see if they are still current. Since she does this in daytime

working hours most of you will get a recorded message; please kindly confirm your details by returning the call at your

convenience. We received a grant from the Flavin Fund—part of the Joy of the Gospel Campaign—to cover the additional

expense.

CATHFLIX You are welcome to use our parish subscription to www.formed.org, a Catholic resource website that offers

movies, books, complete courses in the Catholic Faith and much more. Just go to the page and enter this as the parish

code: 34BQZB. You’ll be asked for an email address (you can opt out of their emails) and you need to make up a new

password. Then you have unlimited use of these resources at home, in your car and at the gym. It’s a gift of the Joy of

the Gospel capital campaign’s evangelization component.

SCHOOL NEWS Our cost per student for the calendar year 2016 came to $3,696.00—a fraction of the average cost of

educating students. This was helped by increased enrollment and increased tuition income.

Next weekend January 28 & 29, the Knights of Columbus will conduct the annual “ONE ROSE ONE LIFE” campaign, to

support pro-life activities in Nebraska. The "One Rose, One Life" Campaign is the main source of income for the Knights of

Columbus’ Culture of Life Foundation. The Knights of Columbus are committed to putting ultrasound machines (seven to

date) throughout Nebraska with the eighth to be placed this month. Ultrasounds save lives. The Knights also give your

donations to: Right-to-Life and Birthright local chapters, crisis pregnancy-help centers, and scholarship funds for March

for Life pilgrims from all three Nebraska dioceses. The Knights will be handing out prayer cards and collecting donations

after all Masses next weekend, January 28/29. Please make any checks payable to “Knights of Columbus”. Thank you!

This week WE GOT OUR 3rd

QUARTER REBATE CHECK from the Charity and Stewardship Appeal in the amount of

$1,659.35. Each May, people in parishes across the Diocese of Lincoln make pledges to fund institutions like the Family

Life Office, Newman Center, Catholic Social Services and other things that don’t have their own income source. Once we

fulfill our annual obligation to CSA the rest comes back to us as rebates. Thank you to all who have participated.

2-DAY UNBOUND CONFERENCE: Participants will learn about Unbound through live talks & videos and how it teaches 5

simple “keys” to break the chains of emotional, spiritual and mental bondage and unlock the doors to freedom. Unbound

will equip you to get free and come into a deeper relationship with God. Prayer will be made available on Saturday

afternoon. Join us at St. Mary’s School-Lincoln Friday, Mar. 10th 6-9pm & Saturday, Mar. 11th 8-5pm. Please register at:

HEALING HEARTS SUPPORT SESSIONS for those who have suffered the loss of a loved one are being offered to assist

Catholics in the grief process. The sessions will be held on six weekly Tuesday evenings beginning March 7, 2017, 7:00-

9:00 p.m., at John XXIII Diocesan Center, 37th & Sheridan Blvd. Suggested donation: $25 (for materials) To register,

for 5th grade that shares a classroom with 6th

right now. St. James will still be a K-6 school and we don’t plan to add

teachers. LOS DETALLES DEL PRIMER PASO Y DE ACTUALIZACION la semana pasada el comité del edificio tomo aviso de

la gente que usan la cocina para ayudar a diseñar el primer paso. Una cantidad de usuarios y unos cambios importantes

se hicieron para el diseñador. ACERCA DE LOS SALONES tal vez cuando usted escuche “tres clases nuevas” usted estará

pensando, “por qué? No nos costara mas en tener a otras tres maestras? El diseño nuevo de intercambiar tres salones:

uno para la oficina de la escuela, uno para la biblioteca y uno para la clase de 5 grado ya que ellos están compartiendo la

misma clase con los estudiantes de 6 grado. St. James todavía se quedara con los mismos grados de K-6 y no estamos

planeando en agregar mas maestras.

Esta semana nos han llegado más de $25,000 para nuestro EMPUJE A LA APELACION DEL ALAMBRE para determinar en

poner juntos los fondos para construir solo una fase (un centro parroquial con 270 asientos, oficinas, tres escuelas/clases

para la doctrina, la cocina, y una plaza exterior). Por favor considere en hacer un sacrificio de algún lujo comenzando de

hoy al 1 de Abril, para que nos ayuden a completar nuestro sueño bajo de una facilidad de recolección. El reto es de $1,000

para hacer donaciones, pero por supuesto el suyo puede ser mayor o menor que el reto. Gracias aquellos que ya están

haciendo su donación generosamente, y para aquellos que ya están en este gran esfuerzo. This week more than $25,000

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time -- July 2, 2017

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

SEVEN SISTERS APOSOLATE will begin soon. Women of the parish, please call Carol Murphy (402-418-1538) or Donna Havlat (402-826-9475) if you could offer an hour of prayer once a week for our priests. Read more about this worthy apostolate at: sevensistersapostolate.org

PCCW is planning a day pilgrimage to Conception Abbey and the Benedictine Sisters in Missouri Wednesday, July 26th (Feast of

Sts. Joachim & Anne). Leaving at 7am and returning about 6pm. Benedictine Sisters have a relic of St. Anne in their chapel. We will have Mass and lunch with the monks at Conception Abbey. Contact Donna Havlat at (402 826-9475) to sign up or ask questions.

CONSTRUCTION NEWS Crete’s City Council passed an ordinance this week allowing us to purchase Ivy Street north of the alley to 14

th Street. After a 30 day waiting period we will be authorized to close the street permanently and put an outdoor

plaza there*. Also, the contract between Kingery Construction of Lincoln and our parish was signed this past Monday. The invisible work on our project—ordering things, getting people and equipment ready—has begun. We will start to see a difference soon enough. When that happens we will be inconvenienced as far as parking goes until the current office and school library is moved out next summer; after that is done the land there will be paved for parking. There will be no more demolition of buildings, though: the current office/library can be moved away intact, so we will put it up for sale when that time comes. Our next church has been designed. The plan is to connect it to the parish hall by an *overflow hallway that crosses what is now Ivy Street. Until we decide the time is right to build the new church let’s together prepare for it by using this church reverently and respectfully, keeping it clean and beautiful.

SEVEN SISTERS APOSOLATE comenzará pronto. Las mujeres de la parroquia, por favor llame a Carol Murphy (402-418-1538) o Donna Havlat (402-826-9475) si usted podría ofrecer una hora de oración una vez por semana para nuestros sacerdotes. O lea más sobre este digno apostolado en: sevensistersapostolate.org

El grupo PCCW está planeando un día de peregrinación a la Abadía de la Concepción ya las Hermanas Benedictinas en Missouri Miércoles 26 de Julio (Fiesta de los Santos Joachín y Anna). Saliendo a las 7 am y regresando sobre las 6 pm. Las hermanas benedictinas tienen una reliquia de Santa Ana en su capilla. Tendremos misa y almuerzo con los monjes en la Abadía de la Concepción. Póngase en contacto con Donna Havlat al (402 826-9475) para inscribirse o hacer preguntas.

NOTICIAS DE CONSTRUCCIÓN El Consejo de Creta aprobó una ordenanza esta semana que nos permitió comprar Ivy Street al norte del callejón a la calle 14. Después de un período de espera de 30 días estaremos autorizados a cerrar la calle permanentemente y poner una plaza al aire libre allí *. Además, el contrato entre Kingery Construction de Lincoln y nuestra parroquia fue firmado el pasado lunes. El trabajo invisible en nuestro proyecto -ordenando cosas, preparando gente y equipo- ha comenzado. Vamos a ver una diferencia pronto. Cuando eso ocurra nos molestará hasta que el estacionamiento llegue hasta que la oficina actual y la biblioteca de la escuela sean trasladadas el próximo verano; Después de que se hace la tierra allí será pavimentada para el estacionamiento. Pero, no habrá más demolición de edificios: la oficina actual / biblioteca se puede mover lejos intacto, por lo que lo pondrá a la venta cuando llegue ese momento. Nuestra siguiente iglesia ha sido diseñada. El plan es conectarlo al pasillo de la parroquia por un *pasillo del desbordamiento que cruce lo que es ahora la calle Ivy. Hasta que decidamos que el tiempo es correcto para construir la nueva iglesia juntos vamos a prepararnos para ella usando esta iglesia con reverencia y respeto, manteniéndola limpia y hermosa.

NEXT WEEKEND: VISITING MISSIONARY Fr. Joby Joseph V.C., a Vincentian Missionary Priest from India, will be in our parish next weekend (July 1 - 2) to participate in our Annual Missionary Cooperation Plan. The Vincentian Congregation (V.C.), a Religious Congregation, was founded in Kerala, India in 1904. They ask for our special financial support to carry out their many missionary, educational and charitable activities and for the training of young men studying for priesthood in India. The annual Mission Co-op collection helps the Missionary work of the Vincentian Fathers. We invite you to share with them since these Missionaries ask for our help and for our prayers. Thank you.

MISIÓNERO VISITANTE El Pd. Joby Joseph V.C., sacerdote misionero vicenciano de la India, estará en nuestra parroquia los días 1 y 2 de julio para participar en nuestro Plan Anual de Cooperación Misionera. La Congregación Vicenciana (Congregación Vicenciana), una Congregación Religiosa, fue fundada en 1904 en Kerala, India. Solicitan nuestro apoyo financiero especial para llevar a cabo sus numerosas actividades misioneras, educativas y caritativas y para la formación de jóvenes que estudian para el sacerdocio en la India.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THEIR HEALING From a former abortion worker "All [the clients] were told about the procedure itself was that they would experience slight cramping similar to menstrual cramps, and that was it. They were not told about the development of the baby. They were not told about the pain that the baby would be experiencing or the physical effects or the emotional effects that it would have on them. They had no idea who was going to be there to help them when they fell apart afterwards. They were taken into the room then, and, as I said, there was no counseling done. These women basically had no idea what they were getting themselves into." - Testimony of Deborah Henry, former Abortion Provider

RECEMOS PARA LA SANACION De parte de alguien que hacia abortos “Todo lo que se les explicó [a las clientas] sobre el procedimiento fue que experimentarían ligeros retortijones similares a los producidos por la menstruación y que eso sería todo. No les hablaron sobre el desarrollo del bebé. No les hablaron del dolor que el bebé experimentaría ni de los efectos físicos o emocionales que tendría en ellas. No tenían ni idea de quién iba a estar allí para ayudarlos cuando se sintieran resquebrajadas después de todo. Fueron llevadas al salón y como dije, no hubo consejería alguna. Esas mujeres básicamente no tenía idea de aquello en lo que se estaban metiendo.” Testimonio de Deborah Henry, entonces proveedora de abortos.

CONSTRUCTION NEWS Crete’s City Council passed an ordinance last month allowing us to purchase Ivy Street north of the alley to 14




El grupo PCCW está planeando un día de peregrinación a la Abadía de la Concepción ya las Hermanas Benedictinas en Missouri para el Miércoles 26 de Julio (Fiesta de los Santos Joachín y Anna). Nos iremos a las 7 am y regresaremos como a las 6 pm. Las hermanas benedictinas tienen una reliquia de Santa Ana en su capilla. Tendremos misa y almuerzo con los monjes en la Abadía de la Concepción. Póngase en contacto con Donna Havlat al (402 826-9475) para inscribirse o hacer preguntas.

NOTICIAS DE CONSTRUCCIÓN El Consejo de Crete aprobó una ordenanza que nos permitió comprar la calle Ivy al norte del callejón de la calle 14. Después de un período de espera de 30 días estaremos autorizados a cerrar la calle permanentemente y poner una plaza al aire libre allí *. Además, el contrato entre Kingery Construcción de Lincoln y nuestra parroquia fue firmado el pasado lunes. El trabajo invisible en nuestro proyecto -ordenando cosas, preparando gente y equipo- ha comenzado. Vamos a ver una diferencia pronto. Cuando eso ocurra nos molestará hasta que el estacionamiento llegue hasta que la oficina actual y la biblioteca de la escuela sean trasladadas el próximo verano; Después de que se hace la tierra allí será pavimentada para el estacionamiento. Pero, no habrá más demolición de edificios: la oficina actual / biblioteca se puede mover lejos intacto, por lo que lo pondrá a la venta cuando llegue ese momento. Nuestra siguiente iglesia ha sido diseñada. El plan es conectarlo al pasillo de la parroquia por un *pasillo del desbordamiento que cruce lo que es ahora la calle Ivy. Hasta que decidamos que el tiempo es correcto para construir la nueva iglesia juntos vamos a prepararnos para ella usando esta iglesia con reverencia y respeto, manteniéndola limpia y hermosa.

CONSTRUCTION NEWS This week the temporary lease agreement for Ivy Street between (north from the alley to 14th Street) was signed, freeing us to close it permanently. Once the purchase agreement is done we will own that land for our project; work may begin before that’s actually completed. The invisible work on our project—ordering things, getting people and equipment ready—has begun. We will start to see a difference soon enough. When that happens we will be inconvenienced as far as parking goes until the current office and school library is moved out next summer; after that is done the land there will be paved for parking. There will be no more demolition of buildings, though: the current office/library can be moved away intact, so we will put it up for sale when that time comes. Our next church has been designed. The plan is to connect it to the parish hall by an *overflow hallway that crosses what is now Ivy Street. Until the time is right to build the new church let’s together prepare for it by using this church reverently and respectfully, keeping it clean and beautiful.

CAN ANYONE LIVE WITHOUT EVER SINNING? One human woman did: the Blessed Mother, although she had the singular blessing of being conceived without sin after the fall of Adam and Eve and also being “full of grace,” as the angel Gabriel proclaimed to her at the Annunciation in Luke 1. The Blessed Virgin Mary is Jesus’ disciple par excellence in cooperating with God’s grace. She is more glorified than all angels, even though angels are a higher species! And that’s why Mary is the queen of heaven and earth. Everyone of us who gains heaven will then live completely without sin, as we will have been perfected in Christ, which means we will be unable to sin any longer. (see Rev. 21:27). Great thing to look forward to, no? ¿PUEDE ALGUIEN VIVIR SIN COMETER PECADOS? Una mujer humana lo hizo: la Santísima Madre, aunque tuvo la bendición singular de ser concebida sin pecado después de la caída de Adán y Eva y también "llena de gracia", como el ángel Gabriel le anunció en la Anunciación en Lucas 1. La Santísima Virgen María es discípula de Jesús por excelencia en cooperar con la gracia de Dios. Ella es más glorificada que todos los ángeles, aunque los ángeles son una especie superior! Y es por eso que María es la reina del cielo y de la tierra. Cada uno de nosotros que gane el cielo entonces vivirá completamente sin pecado, ya que habremos sido perfeccionados en Cristo, lo que significa que no podremos pecar más. (Véase Apocalipsis 21:27). Gran espectativa, ¿no?

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time -- July 30, 2017


CONSTRUCTION NEWS This week Ivy Street north of the alley to 14th Street was closed for good. Later on the street will be raised and will become the plaza west of our parish hall. A locked construction fence will be installed around the perimeter of the project and a work trailer will appear soon as well.

NOTICIAS DE CONSTRUCCIÓN Esta semana la calle Ivy al norte de la calle 14 fue cerrada por algo bueno. Después en esa calle se elevará y se convertirá en la plaza Oeste de nuestro centro parroquial. La construcción de una frena será instalado alrededor del perímetro del proyecto y un tráiler de trabajo aparecerá pronto.

There will be NO WINDSOR LOIN FALL DINNER—JUST THIS YEAR in November. Instead, we will have a rummage sale around then as an Altar Society (PCCW) fundraiser. It will give everyone a good chance to look at our gymnasium, which now has new windows and a refinished/repainted floor that all looks just beautiful!

NUESTRA KERMESSE será para el domingo 17 de septiembre de las 11:00 de la mañana hasta las 7:00 de la noche. This year’s FOOD FESTIVAL will be held on Sunday, September 17th from 11:00am-7:00pm.

Interesting NOTES FROM OUR YEAR-END FINANCIAL REPORT: over the last 52 Sundays we gave $298,000 in envelopes, $67,000 by direct deposit and $78,000 in loose cash that wasn’t in envelopes. Interest income from our D.I.A.L assets was $37,900. Our school’s tuition income was $74,300. We have a school endowment that generated $36,500 last year; endowments do great good for a school or parish! School utilities were $39,800; school salaries $340,600. Parish salaries (two priests, hourly employees) totaled $53,300; health insurance for two priests was $17,600. The most amazing thing is that we put together over $2.7 million dollars for a parish hall over the last six years in a town of 7,000 people—thank you all for your heroic generosity, dedication and patience! More financial facts will come as we publish our annual financial report.

“In Europe, America, Latin America, Africa, and in some countries of Asia, there are genuine forms of ideological colonization taking place. And one of these - I will call it clearly by its name - is [the ideology of] ‘gender.’ Today children - children! - are taught in school that everyone can choose his or her sex. Why are they teaching this? Because

the books are provided by the persons and institutions that give you money. These forms of ideological colonization are also supported by influential countries. And this [is] terrible!” Francis said. In Catholic circles, the term “gender theory” refers to the claim that “sex” is what a person is biologically, while “gender” is what the person believes himself or herself to be. Gender theory thus insists that people should be able to identify as male, female, in-between, neither, or both. For Francis, “GENDER THEORY IS AN ERROR OF THE HUMAN MIND that leads to so much confusion,” as he said in 2015, and it’s one reason why “the family is under attack.”

NOTAS DE NUESTRO INFORME FINANCIERO FIN DEL AÑO: durante los últimos 52 domingos dimos $ 298.000 en sobres, $ 67.000 por depósito directo y $ 78.000 en efectivo suelto que no estaba en sobres. Los ingresos por intereses de nuestros activos de D.I.A.L fueron de $ 37,900. El ingreso de la escuela en nuestra escuela fue $ 74,300. Tenemos una dotación de la escuela que generó $ 36.500 el año pasado; Las dotaciones hacen un gran bien para una escuela o parroquia! Las utilidades de la escuela eran $ 39.800; Salarios escolares $ 340,600. Los salarios parroquiales (dos sacerdotes, empleados por hora) totalizaron $ 53,300; Seguro de salud para dos sacerdotes fue de $ 17.600. Lo más sorprendente es que reunimos más de $ 2,7 millones de dólares para un salón parroquial en los últimos seis años en un pueblo de 7.000 personas, ¡gracias a todos por su heroica generosidad, dedicación y paciencia! Más datos financieros vendrán a medida que publicamos nuestro informe financiero anual.

"En Europa, América, América Latina, África, y en algunos países de Asia, hay formas auténticas de colonización ideológica. Y uno de ellos - yo lo llamaré claramente por su nombre - es [la ideología de] 'género'. ¡Hoy niños - niños! - se les enseña en la escuela que todos pueden elegir su sexo. ¿Por qué están enseñando esto? Porque los libros son proporcionados por las personas e instituciones que te dan dinero. Estas formas de colonización ideológica también son apoyadas por países influyentes. ¡Y esto es terrible! ", Dijo Francis. En los círculos católicos, el término "teoría de género" se refiere a la afirmación de que "sexo" es lo que una persona es biológicamente, mientras que "género" es lo que la persona cree ser. Por lo tanto, la teoría del género insiste en que las personas deben ser capaces de identificarse como hombres, mujeres, entre, ninguno, o ambos. Para Francisco, "la TEORÍA DE GÉNERO ES UN ERROR DE LA MENTE HUMANA que conduce a tanta confusión", como dijo en 2015, y es una de las razones por las que "la familia está bajo ataque".

PCCW (Altar Society) meets this Wednesday, June 7th at 6:30pm in the parish office “by the flagpole”.

These were Pope Francis’ suggestions for New Year’s resolutions. I invite you to consider making them your ordinary

penance (stuff we can do outside Lent) during the year. Estas fueron las sugerencias del Santo Padre Papa Francisco

como resoluciones del Año Nuevo. Los invito a que consideren hacerlos su penitencia ordinaria (cosas que podemos hacer

fuera de Cuaresma) durante el año.

1. Don’t gossip. No hagas chismes. 2. Finish your meals. Termina tus comidas. 3. Make time for others. Haga

tiempo para otros. 4. Choose the ‘more humble’ purchase. Elija la compra "más humilde". 5. Meet the poor ‘in

the flesh’. Encuentra a los pobres "en la carne". 6. Stop judging others. Deja de juzgar a los demás. 7. Make

commitments, such as marriage. Hacer compromisos, como el matrimonio. 8. Make it a habit to ‘ask the Lord’

for your needs. Hágale un hábito de 'pedir al Señor' para sus necesidades.

9. Befriend those you disagree with. Hágase amigo de los que no está de acuerdo.

CSA/DDP The 2017-2018 Charity and Stewardship Appeal has raised over $11,000 so far. This annual effort of all 135

parishes in the Diocese of Lincoln asks each of us to consider pledging and giving 1% of our income to fund institutions

and programs that serve the Diocese of Lincoln—like our Family Life Office. Please take a moment to complete a pledge

card before or after Mass so that our parish may contribute to these programs that don’t have a weekly collection

basket. Thank you for your generosity.

SPIRIT 102.7-FM PRESENTS “Behold Your Mother” with Tim Staples, director of apologetics and evangelization for Catholic

Answers, at 7pm on Wed., July 19 at Cathedral of the Risen Christ in Lincoln. All parishes are welcome to attend this event. At

Behold Your Mother, Tim Staples, will speak of the many layers of meaning to the powerful words of our Lord from the cross

when he said to St. John, in the place of all of us, standing at the foot of the cross with the Mother of God, “Behold: your

mother!” He will take us toward an examination of how we not only need the gift of Mary—the perfect mother and disciple—

for our spiritual lives, but that we need each other as members of the body of Christ. Get ready for quite a ride in this talk that

takes you from Mary to the communion of saints and into eternity! Admission is only $7 per person and tickets are available at

spiritcatholicradio.com or beholdlincoln.brownpapertickets.com. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door. For

THE EUCHARIST AND UNITY Imagine a person who receives Communion, accepts the Host when the priest says, "The Body of Christ," says "Amen," and then breaks off a piece, hands it back, and says, "Except this piece, Father!" In receiving Christ, we are to receive the whole Christ, in all his members, our brothers and sisters, whether convenient or inconvenient, wanted or unwanted, born or unborn. As St. John remarks, Christ was to die "to gather into one all the scattered children of God." Sin scatters. Christ unites. The word "diabolical" means "to split asunder." Christ came "to destroy the works of the devil" (1Jn.3:8). The Eucharist builds up the human family in Christ who says, "Come to me, feed on My Body, become My Body." Abortion, in a reverse dynamic, says, "Go away! We have no room for you, no time for you, no desire for you, no responsibility for you. Get out of our way!" Abortion attacks the unity of the human family by splitting asunder the most fundamental relationship between any two persons: mother and child. The Eucharist heals and restores this unity intended by God. LA EUCARISTÍA Y LA UNIDAD Imagínese a una persona, que al recibir la Comunión, y al aceptar la Hostia cuando el padre dice, “El Cuerpo de Cristo,” “Amen,” parte un pedazo y se lo devuelve al sacerdote diciendo, “¡Menos esta parte Padre!” Esto es lo que hace la persona que rechaza a otros. Al recibir a Cristo, debemos de recibir al Cristo total, a todos sus miembros, nuestros hermanos y hermanas, ya sea conveniente o no, deseado o no deseado, nacido o no nacido. San Juan Crisostomo recalca, Cristo murió “para reunir a todos los hijos de Dios dispersos.” El pecado dispersa. Cristo une. La palabra “diabólico” significa “dividir.” Cristo vino “para destruir las obras del mal” (1Juan 3, 8). La Eucaristía edifica a la familia humana en Cristo quien dice, “Vengan a mi, aliméntense de Mi Cuerpo, transfórmense en Mi Cuerpo.” El aborto, como dinámica contraria, dice, “¡Vete! No tenemos lugar para ti, ni tiempo para ti, no te deseamos, no somos responsables por ti. ¡Quítate de nuestro camino!” El aborto ataca la unidad de la familia humana dividiendo la relación más fundamental entre dos personas: madre e hijo. La Eucaristía, como Sacramento de Unidad, invierte la dinámica del aborto.

Some of the GYM WINDOWS were replaced this past week using funds that were given through the Joy of the Gospel Campaign—thank

you! As you drive by on Highway 33/103 or 14th street you can see the outside of these beautiful new windows. What you can’t see is how

much this will save us on our monthly utilities in the wintertime. Our GYMNASIUM AND CAFETERIA FLOORS will be resurfaced in the next

few weeks. Please bear with us patiently if you are someone who uses them on a weekly basis. Many others will first see them at our

Parish Festival this fall; looking forward t to the response. Thank you.

Varios de los VENTAQNAS DEL GYMNASIO fueron reemplazados la semana pasada con fondos que fueron dados a través de la Campaña de

la Alegría del Evangelio, ¡gracias! A medida que conduce por en la carretera 33/103 o la calle 14 se puede ver el exterior de estas hermosas

ventanas nuevas. Lo que usted no puede ver es cuánto esto nos ahorrará en nuestras utilidades mensuales en el invierno.

Nuestros PISOS DE GIMNASIO Y CAFETERIA serán resurgidos en las próximas semanas. Por favor, tenga paciencia con nosotros si usted es

alguien que los usa sobre una base semanal. Muchos otros los verán por primera vez en nuestro Festival Parroquial este otoño; Mirando

hacia adelante t a la respuesta. Gracias.

MISSION CO-OP RULES When visiting priests come to appeal for the people of their countries, these guidelines apply: No direct donations

to the priest. One appeal is made and the collection is totaled and announced; the money is then sent to the Chancery, which sends all

collections to the mission country in one transaction. No continuing financial commitments/appeals. Often a visiting priest befriends this

or that person and both people naturally continue to correspond. The problem begins to cross the line when more financial support is

sought—that’s unfair to next year’s mission priest who will have fewer supporters to choose from because this or that one has made a

long-term commitment. None of this pertains to Fr. Joby Joseph, a fine man who learned another Indian language (with another alphabet!)

to do his mission work in the Andra Pradesh province of India.

Group 4 is in charge of cleaning church for July. Please call Lori Manson (826-2664) to volunteer.

SEVEN SISTERS APOSOLATE began this weekend. Women of the parish, please call Carol Murphy (402-418-1538) or Donna Havlat (402-826-9475) if you could offer an hour of prayer once a week for our priests; seven have signed up so far—one of each day of the week!

WE HAD A BIG WEEK for construction gifts and we got a very nice Joy of the Gospel rebate of $6,400. Two weekends ago

$26,761.00 came in; thank you! Our parish building committee continues to work with BVH Architects of Lincoln to complete

blueprints so that we may seek bids and try to begin Phase One this summer. A check from the Joy of the Gospel capital campaign

came on Valentine’s Day in the amount of $6,482.17; that money will go towards new windows in the gymnasium which will help

insulate better and prevent yellowing of the floor. We are also looking at a very low cost way to refinish that gym floor this summer.

TUVIMOS UNA GRAN SEMANA de regalos de construcción y agarramos un buen rebate por parte de Joy of the Gospel de $6,400.

Durante el fin de semana de 18 de febrero se recaudaron $26,761.00; muchas gracias! Nuestro comité de construir nuestro centro

continua trabajando con BVH Architects de Lincoln, para que complete los planos y para que busquemos una apuesta y tratemos de

comenzar durante el verano. La cantidad de la campaña por parte de Joy of the Gospel, la recibimos para el día de san Valentín en la

cantidad de $6,482.17; ese dinero lo usaremos para nuestras ventanas de nuestro gimnasio, cual eso ayudare a insularlo mejor y

prevenir que el piso se ponga mojoso. También estamos buscando un modo de un precio bajo, para que lo podamos hacer durante el

verano.

Second Sunday of Lent -- March 12, 2017

MANY THANKS ARE DUE this week to people who have done generous things for us:

--All involved in Hollywood Movie Night, which gave us $6,700 more for our building project.

--OUR INNER CHURCH DOORS were refinished locally by Joe Malousek and Bob Siedhoff of our parish with consultative help from

artist and teacher Beka Brazee, also of our parish. None of them would take any money at all—even for the sandpaper, lacquer, etc. These

125 year old doors bear beautiful marks of their age but are now ready for many more years. The glass etching is another surprise feature

that adds beauty and character.

--DONORS TO THE “THOUSAND DOLLAR CHALLENGE” who have helped us get much closer to our $3 million dollar goal to build

Phase One of our parish building project.

--NUESTRAS PUERTAS INTERNAS DE IGLESIA fueron renovadas localmente por Joe Malousek y Bob Siedhoff de nuestra parroquia

con la ayuda consultiva de la artista y maestra Beka Brazee, también de nuestra parroquia. Ningunos de ellos tomaría ningún

dinero, incluso para el papel de lija, laca, etc. Estas puertas de 125 años de edad llevan hermosas marcas de su edad, pero ahora

están listos para muchos años más. El grabado de vidrio es otra característica sorpresa que añade belleza y carácter.

--COLABORADORES CON EL "RETO DE MIL DÓLARES" que nos han ayudado a acercarnos mucho a nuestra meta de $3 millones de

dólares para construir la Fase Uno de nuestro proyecto de construcción parroquial.

PHASE ONE PROGRESS REPORT The Building Committee is in the process of choosing finishes, etc. for the building. Blueprint drawings will

be ready late this month to send out to builders for bids. We should know by late April how they come back and just how to proceed. It is

important for us to unite and support this effort which will serve our parish and the community for generations to come. Please continue

your prayers. Thank you!

FASE UNO --INFORME DE PROGRESO El Comité de Construcción está en el proceso de elegir acabados, etc. para el edificio. Los planos de

planos estarán listos a finales de este mes para enviar a los constructores para las ofertas. Debemos saber a finales de abril cómo regresan y

cómo proceder. Es importante que unamos y apoyemos este esfuerzo que servirá a nuestra parroquia ya la comunidad para las

generaciones venideras. Por favor continúen sus oraciones. ¡Gracias!

PCCW will attend 8:15 Mass in Crete tomorrow Monday, March 20 for the feast of St Joseph. They will gather for fellowship after

mass. All are welcome.

The Diocese of Lincoln will participate with dioceses throughout the world in the initiative "24 HOURS FOR THE LORD” being

promoted by Pope Francis. The Sacrament of Confession and Eucharistic Adoration will be available for a continuous 24 hour period

at the Cathedral of the Risen Christ from 6:00 p.m. this Friday, March 24, to 6:00 p.m. Saturday, March 25. All are invited to come to

the Cathedral to pray before our Eucharistic Lord and to take advantage of this opportunity to participate in the Sacrament of

Reconciliation.

Save the date for the ANNUAL GODTEEN FUNDRAISER BREAKFAST on April 2, 2017, from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Come for pancakes,

the GodTeen fund to pay for supplies, materials, field trips, ski trips, or canoe trips.

OUR CRUCIFIX WAS ALWAYS THERE but it didn’t look the same as it does now. Last week our crucifix went to Holdren Art Studio in

Friend, NE for restoration. As Greg Holdren was adding the accents to our painted sanctuary arches he noticed that our crucifix had

been painted over some 46 years ago with grayish green paint. He thought that paint would be easy to remove; what you see now is

the result. The cost of both of these projects was covered by a donation that was given in memory of Alice Muff of our parish who

died in 2013.

MAY is the month in which the Church honors Mary through special devotions. This coming Saturday is the

centennial of the appearances of Mary at Fatima in Portugal. There, she asked us to pray for the conversion to

sinners and greater devotion to her Divine Son, Jesus. Please consider taking this occasion to pray the Rosary as a

family asking the continued intercession of the Mother of God upon the whole world.

The CATHOLIC DIVORCED SURVIVAL GUIDE was created to bring hope and healing to divorced and separated

Catholics. This 12 week program features 30-minute DVD segments that cover topics of shock, denial, anger, grief,

guilt, forgiveness, money, kids, annulment, and much more. The next session will begin June 5, 2017 at John XXIII

Diocesan Center from 7-9pm. Classes are kept small. Register by calling the Family Life Office at, 402-473-0620, or

POLITICS AND RELIGION DO MIX The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in its 2002doctrinal note “On

Some Questions Regarding the Participation of Catholics in Political Life” said about St. Thomas More: “[He] gave

witness by his martyrdom to the inalienable dignity of the human conscience. Though subjected to various forms

of psychological pressure, Saint Thomas More refused to compromise, never forsaking the constant fidelity to

legitimate authority and institutions which distinguished him; he taught by his life and his death that ‘man cannot

be separated from God, nor politics from morality.’”

LA POLÍTICA Y LA RELIGIÓN SI SE MEZCLAN La Congregación para la Doctrina de la Fe, en su nota doctrinal de

2002 “En algunos asuntos relacionados con la participación de los Católicos en la vida política” () dijo sobre Santo

Tomás Moro: “[Él] dio testimonio mediante su martirio sobre la inalienable dignidad de la conciencia humana.

Aunque sometido a diversas formas de presión psicológica, Santo Tomas Moro se negó a transigir, sin abandonar la


constante fidelidad a la legitima autoridad y a las instituciones que lo distinguieron; él enseño con su vida y con su

muerte que ‘el hombre no puede ser separado de Dios, ni los políticos de la moral.’”

Our construction project moved ahead this week in two ways: First, we received approval from the Diocesan Investment and Loan Committee who met with Fr. Major and Joe Rohach. They agreed that we are meeting our weekly operating expenses and have all the money on hand--$2.7 million-- to complete Phase One of our master plan. They further approved a line of financial credit to us of $270,000 or 10% in case we have cost overruns. If we need to borrow money for that, we will have five years to pay it back. We are in a very good position. Thank you again and again to our donors! The Second exciting thing that happened this week is that we announced to Kingery Construction of Lincoln that they will be our general contractor for this project. Soon we will sign a contract and work will begin. Please pray for the safety and well-being of all involved as we move forward into a new phase of the life of our parish in Crete.

Our KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS Council is collecting coats, hats & mittens in a black tote in the back of church throughout the month of November.

You are welcome to WRITE THE NAMES OF YOUR BELOVED family members, neighbors and friends who have died on the paper scroll at the front of church during the month of November. You are encouraged to request Mass offerings for them as well. You can do that with one of the envelopes from the pillars by the pews next to the main entrance of church. The standard offering for a Mass in the Diocese of Lincoln is $10.00. Called a Mass stipend, this amount is given to the priest who offers the Mass; you can also request a Mass without any offering of money.

Le invitamos a ESCRIBIR LOS NOMBRES DE SUS AMADOS miembros de la familia, vecinos y amigos que murieron en el pergamino de papel en el frente de la iglesia durante el mes de noviembre. También se les anima a solicitar ofrendas en masa para ellos. Puedes hacerlo con uno de los sobres de los pilares junto a los bancos junto a la entrada principal de la iglesia. La ofrenda estándar para una Misa en la Diócesis de Lincoln es de $ 10.00. Llamado un estipendio de la misa, esta cantidad se le da al sacerdote que ofrece la misa; también puede solicitar una Misa sin oferta de dinero.

PCCW (Altar Society) will meet this Wednesday, November 8 @ 6:30 p.m. in the parish meeting room. All are welcome.

THE CHURCH FORBIDS CONTACT WITH THE DEAD, even if we miss them terribly or want to say something we didn’t get to say before they died.

“clairvoyance and recourse to mediums . . . conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone” (CCC 2116) For this reason, seeking a medium would be a serious (mortal) sin.

Can we talk to people who have died? Apparently so, but it is not something God permits. There is a fortune teller story in Scripture: Saul said to the medium at Endor: “Divine for me by a spirit, and bring up for me whomever I shall name to you” (1 Sam. 28:7-8). Please read the rest for yourself to understand it completely. Saul’s wanting to talk to Samuel wasn’t a sin—the way he did it was a sin. If Saul had prayed to Samuel like we Catholics pray to saints and ask their intercession it might have been fine. Today there are even TV programs with characters who claim to talk to people who have died, and they depend on us to be curious. They can seem very convincing. Look again at the second sentence from the Catholic Catechism above: only God deserves to speak to us of our future. We need to hope that we will meet our loved ones again in heaven and that “death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:4). LA IGLESIA PROHÍBE EL CONTACTO CON LOS MUERTOS, incluso si los extrañamos mucho o si queremos decir algo que no llegamos a decir antes de que murieran.

Todas las formas de adivinación deben rechazarse: el recurso a Satán o a los demonios, la evocación de los muertos, y otras prácticas que equivocadamente se supone “desvelan” el porvenir (cf Dt 18, 10; Jr 29, 8). La consulta de horóscopos, la astrología, la quiromancia, la interpretación de presagios y de suertes, los fenómenos de visión, el recurso a “mediums” encierran una voluntad de poder sobre el tiempo, la historia y, finalmente, los hombres, a la vez que un deseo de granjearse la protección de poderes ocultos. Están en contradicción con el honor y el respeto, mezclados de temor amoroso, que debemos solamente a Dios. (CIC 2116)

Por esta razón, buscar una bruja sería un pecado grave (mortal)…incluso los que participan en el culto de “santa” muerte. Esto es blasfemia! Debemos esperar que encontraremos nuevamente a nuestros seres queridos en el cielo y que "ya no habrá muerte, ni habrá luto ni llanto ni dolor, porque las primeras cosas pasaron" (Apocalipsis 21: 4). Thank you for the MASS INTENTION REQUESTS so many people made on the occasion of All Souls’ Day. Scheduling can be difficult and it is often impossible to honor specific requests, especially those not made well ahead of time. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

PRAYER FOR THE DEAD OF ST. IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

Receive in tranquility and peace, O Lord, the souls of your servants who have departed this present life to come to you. Grant them rest and place them in the habitations of light, the abodes of blessed spirits. Give them the life that will not age, good things that will not pass away, delights that have no end, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

ORACION POR LOS MUERTOS De San Ignacio de Antioquia

Recibe en tranquilidad y paz, oh Señor, las almas de tus siervos que han abandonado esta vida presente para que vengan a ti. Concédeles descanso y colócalos en las habitaciones de luz, moradas de espíritus bendecidos. Denles la vida que no envejecerá, cosas buenas que no pasarán, deleites que no tienen fin, por medio de Jesucristo, nuestro Señor. Amén. Thank you for the MASS INTENTION REQUESTS so many people made on the occasion of All Souls’ Day. Scheduling can be difficult and it is often impossible to honor specific requests, especially those not made well ahead of time. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Gracias a todos que hand pedido misas en la occasión del DÍA DE TODAS LAS ALMAS.

Jesus told his disciples this parable:

"The kingdom of heaven will be like ten

virgins

who took their lamps and went out to meet

the bridegroom.

Five of them were foolish and five were

wise.

Thirty third Sunday in Ordinary Time

– November 19, 2017

Tomorrow Monday, Nov. 20, some RELICS OF POPE ST. JOHN PAUL II will be available for veneration after the 5:30 p.m. Mass here at Sacred Heart Church in Crete. A talk will be given in English and Spanish followed by a Rosary. Pope John Paul II was proclaimed Venerable by his successor Pope Benedict XVI December 19, 2009 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints attributed one miracle to his intercession, the healing of a French nun from Parkinson’s disease. Pope Francis recognized a second miracle and he was canonized in 2015 His feast day, Oct. 22, is celebrated on the anniversary of his papal inauguration. He was only 58 years old when he became pope, and was the first non-Italian pope in more than 400 years.

Mañana lunes, 20 de noviembre, algunas RELIQUIAS DEL PAPA ST. JUAN PABLO II estarán

presente para la veneración después la Misa de 5:30 p.m. aquí en la Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón en Crete. Se dará una charla en inglés y español y enseguida un rosario. El Papa Juan Pablo II fue proclamado Venerable por su sucesor el Papa Benedicto XVI el 19 de diciembre de 2009 después de que la Congregación para las Causas de los Santos atribuyera un milagro a su intercesión, la curación de una monja francesa contra la enfermedad de Parkinson. El Papa Francisco reconoció un segundo milagro y fue canonizado en 2015. Su fiesta, el 22 de octubre, se celebra en el aniversario de su inauguración papal. Tenía solo 58 años cuando fue elegido Papa, y fue el primer Papa no italiano en más de 400 años.

There will be NO SUNDAY CCD CLASSES on the following dates: November 26th, December 24th and 31st.

PARKING IS AVAILABLE across 14th Street north of the construction site. You can use the sidewalk between the playground and construction fence to get back and forth.

SLAVE OR FREE? Those words may make you wonder if your phone, tablet or computer is your master. How do you get free? Spend a little time in prayer each day. Read a gospel story and make your mind the screen that displays the story. “Man may forget


his Creator or hide far from his face; he may run after idols or accuse the deity of having abandoned him; yet the living and true God tirelessly calls each person to that mysterious encounter known as prayer. In prayer, the faithful God's initiative of love always comes first; our own first step is always a response. –from the Catholic Catechism, #2567

¿ESCLAVO O LIBRE? Esas palabras pueden hacerse preguntar si su teléfono, tableta o computadora es su maestro. ¿Cómo te liberas? Pase un poco de tiempo en oración todos los días. Lea una historia del evangelio y haga que su mente sea la pantalla que muestra la historia. "El hombre puede olvidar a su Creador o esconderse lejos de su rostro; puede correr detrás de ídolos o acusar a la deidad de haberlo abandonado; sin embargo, el Dios vivo y verdadero llama incansablemente a cada persona a ese misterioso encuentro conocido como oración. En la oración, la fiel iniciativa del amor de Dios siempre es lo primero; nuestro primer paso es siempre una respuesta. -del Catecismo Católico, # 2567

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE This week substantial progress was made towards getting the cement floor and subfloor finished. Part of the floor will be what is called terrazzo—a decorative concrete finish that is durable and easy to clean and maintain. NOTICIAS DE LA NUEVA CONSTRUCCIÓN Esta semana se hicieron progresos sustanciales para terminar el piso de cemento y el subsuelo. Parte del piso será del tipo terrazo, un estilo de concreto decorativo que es duradero y fácil de limpiar y mantener.

NEW GYM LIGHTS Eight new 54 watt LED bulbs have replaced some 400 watt multi-vapor lights which should save us some money on utilities. Furthermore, they will last lots longer (40,000 hours—20 years or so) than the old bulbs, at a comparable price. LAS 8 LAMPARAS DEL GYMNASIO fueron remplacados por lamparas de 54 vatios LED y vamos a gocer ahorros grandes—los anteriores fueron de 400 vatios! Además, durarán, estos nuevos hasta 40,000 horas encendidas. Guau!

TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD Following in the steps of the prophets and John the Baptist, Jesus announced the judgment of the Last Day in his preaching. Then will the conduct of each one and the secrets of hearts be brought to light. Then will the culpable unbelief that counted the offer of God's grace as nothing be condemned. Our attitude to our neighbor will disclose acceptance or refusal of grace and divine love. On the Last Day Jesus will say: "Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me." Christ is Lord of eternal life. Full right to pass definitive judgment on the works and hearts of men belongs to him as redeemer of the world. He "acquired" this right by his cross. The Father has given "all judgment to the Son". Yet the Son did not come to judge, but to save and to give the life he has in himself. By rejecting grace in this life, one already judges oneself, receives according to one's works, and can even condemn oneself for all eternity by rejecting the Spirit of love. –from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, #678 & 679 See original for footnoted quotations from Scripture.

PARA JUZGAR A VIVOS Y MUERTOS Siguiendo a los profetas (cf. Dn 7, 10; Jl 3, 4; Ml 3,19) y a Juan Bautista (cf. Mt 3, 7-12), Jesús anunció en su predicación el Juicio del último Día. Entonces, se pondrán a la luz la conducta de cada uno (cf. Mc 12, 38-40) y el secreto de los corazones (cf. Lc 12, 1-3; Jn 3, 20-21; Rm 2, 16; 1 Co 4, 5). Entonces será condenada la incredulidad culpable que ha tenido en nada la gracia ofrecida por Dios (cf Mt 11, 20-24; 12, 41-42). La actitud con respecto al prójimo revelará la acogida o el rechazo de la gracia y del amor divino (cf. Mt 5, 22; 7, 1-5). Jesús dirá en el último día: "Cuanto hicisteis a uno de estos hermanos míos más pequeños, a mí me lo hicisteis" (Mt 25, 40). Cristo es Señor de la vida eterna. El pleno derecho de juzgar definitivamente las obras y los corazones de los hombres pertenece a Cristo como Redentor del mundo. "Adquirió" este derecho por su Cruz. El Padre también ha entregado "todo juicio al Hijo" (Jn 5, 22; cf. Jn 5, 27; Mt 25, 31; Hch 10, 42; 17, 31; 2 Tm 4, 1). Pues bien, el Hijo no ha venido para juzgar sino para salvar (cf. Jn 3,17) y para dar la vida que hay en él (cf. Jn 5, 26). Es por el


rechazo de la gracia en esta vida por lo que cada uno se juzga ya a sí mismo (cf. Jn 3, 18; 12, 48); es retribuido según sus obras (cf. 1 Co 3, 12- 15) y puede incluso condenarse eternamente al rechazar el Espíritu de amor (cf. Mt 12, 32; Hb 6, 4-6; 10, 26-31). –desde el Catecismo de la Iglesia Catolica, #678-679


SOME FINANCIAL DETAILS The $600 donation from Orscheln Industries noted below will be given to the Crete Backpack Program along with some of our existing funds intended for serving the poor. It amounts to a tiny percentage of our annual parish income…maybe we should strive to do more of this. Our Joy of the Gospel rebate comes from your continuing contributions to that 2015 campaign; it took place during our own parish construction campaign and yet we excelled for a small parish of modest means. Thank you! Our parish council will discuss how these funds should be used. Since we used about $20,000 in Joy of

the Gospel rebate money this year to replace windows in the gym, a number of people have expressed interest in replacing the remaining windows. ALGUNOS DETALLES FINANCIEROS La donación de $ 600 de Orscheln Industries que se detalla a continuación se otorgará al Programa Crete Backpack junto con algunos de nuestros fondos existentes destinados a servir a los pobres. Representa un pequeño porcentaje de nuestro ingreso anual en la parroquia ... tal vez deberíamos esforzarnos para hacer más de esto. Nuestra devolución de Joy of the Gospel proviene de sus contribuciones continuas a esa campaña de 2015; se llevó a cabo durante nuestra propia campaña de construcción parroquial y, sin embargo, nos distinguimos por una pequeña parroquia de medios modestos. ¡Gracias! Nuestro consejo parroquial discutirá cómo se deben usar estos fondos. Dado que hemos gastado alrededor de $ 20,000 en dinero de la recompensa de Joy of the Gospel para reemplazar ventanas en el gimnasio, varias personas han expresado interés en reemplazar las demas ventanas.

Catholic Social Teaching in Seven Parts 6. SOLIDARITY Our culture is tempted to turn inward, becoming indifferent and sometimes isolationist in the face of international responsibilities. Catholic social teaching proclaims that we are our brothers' and sisters' keepers, wherever they live. We are one human family, whatever our national, racial, ethnic, economic, and ideological differences. Learning to practice the virtue of solidarity means learning that "loving our neighbor" has global dimensions in an interdependent world. This virtue is described by John Paul II as "a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good; that is to say to the good of all and of each individual, because we are all really responsible for all" ( Sollicitudo Rei Socialis, no. 38). (next week, the last of the seven: Care for God's Creation)

La doctrina social católica: 7 Temas principales 6. SOLIDARIDAD Nuestra cultura es tentado a volverse hacia adentro, llegando a ser indiferente ya veces aislacionista en la cara de las responsabilidades internacionales. La enseñanza social católica proclama que somos nuestros hermanos y hermanas guardianes, dondequiera que vivan. Somos una sola familia humana, cualesquiera que sean nuestras diferencias nacionales, raciales, étnicas, económicas e ideológicas. Aprender a practicar la virtud de la solidaridad significa aprender que "el amor al prójimo" tiene dimensiones globales en un mundo interdependiente. Esta virtud es descrita por John Paul II como "una determinación firme y perseverante de empeñarse por el bien común; es decir, al bien de todos y de cada uno, para que todos seamos verdaderamente responsables de todos" ( Sollicitudo rei socialis , no. 38). (próxima y ultima: Cuidado de la Creación de Dios)

RCIA FOR ENGLISH-SPEAKING ADULTS meets Mondays from 7:00-8:15pm in the parish meeting room “near the flagpole”. Catholic and non-Catholic adults are welcome to this class. There is no pre-registration and nothing to bring. About a dozen adults have begun this class.

OCTOBER IS RESPECT LIFE MONTH People, indeed, can convert. God himself asks us to believe that through today’s readings. The son who first said no can later say yes (Gospel); the wicked one can turn from his wickedness and still find life (First reading). This proves true in the pro-life effort; in fact, the flow of conversions is in the direction of life, not death. Norma McCorvey, the former “Jane Roe” and plaintiff (and winner) of the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, became a pro-life Catholic and worked for the rest of her life to end abortion. The same is true of Dr. Bernard Nathanson, one of the chief engineers of the abortion rights movement. And there are so many others that an international society of ex-abortionists has been formed, called the “Society of Centurions.” The Church is called by to welcome these individuals back, and to learn from their experience. “Pro-choice” is an exaltation of self; the cross is the denial of self. “Pro-choice” is the assertion of oneself; the cross is the emptying of oneself. “Pro-choice” says we can lift ourselves up; the cross says that we are obedient and that God lifts us up.

EL MES DE OCTUBRE ES MES DE RESPETAD LA VIDA La gente, de hecho, puede convertirse. Dios mismo nos pide que creamos eso a través de las lecturas de hoy. El hijo que primero dijo no puede decir más tarde sí (Evangelio); el inicuo puede apartarse de su maldad y seguir encontrando vida (Primera lectura). Esto es cierto en el esfuerzo pro-vida; de hecho, el flujo de conversiones está en la dirección de la vida, no la muerte. Norma McCorvey, la ex "Jane Roe" y demandante (y ganadora) de la decisión de la Corte Suprema de 1973 sobre Roe v. Wade, legalizó el aborto, se convirtió en católica pro vida y trabajó por el resto de su vida para acabar con el aborto. Lo mismo sucede con el doctor Bernard Nathanson, uno de los principales ingenieros del movimiento por el derecho al aborto. Y hay tantos otros que se ha formado una sociedad internacional de ex-abortistas, llamada la "Sociedad de Centuriones". La Iglesia es llamada por acoger a estos individuos de nuevo, y para aprender de su experiencia. "Pro-elección" es una exaltación del yo; la cruz es la negación del yo. "Pro-elección" es la afirmación de uno mismo; la cruz es el vaciamiento de uno mismo. "Pro-elección" dice que podemos levantarnos; la cruz dice que somos obedientes y que Dios nos levanta.

** “who hate evil”, that is…GOD LOVES THOSE WHO HATE EVIL. Here’s one evil thing it’s okay to hate: pornography. God

will love you for helping keep it away from young people who are innocent and have never seen such a thing. Limit your child’s time using electronic devices and make sure they get play time—outdoors, if possible. Always know what your child is doing if they are using the Internet or any electronic messaging service. If you have looked at pornography, bring that sin to confession and be forgiven. Pray daily to be delivered from temptation. Read from the Bible and ask God to use it cleanse your mind of the memory of pornographic images. You are loved by God—no matter what was in your past!

Catholic Social Teaching in Seven Parts 7. CARE FOR GOD'S CREATION. Catholic tradition insists that we show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of creation. Care for the earth is a requirement of our faith. We are called to protect people and the planet, living our faith in relationship with all of God's creation. This environmental challenge has fundamental moral and ethical dimensions that cannot be ignored. This teaching is a complex tradition with many other important elements. Principles like "subsidiarity" and the "common good" outline the advantages and limitations of markets, the responsibilities and limits of government, and the essential roles of voluntary associations. These principles build on the foundation of Catholic social teaching: the dignity of human life. This central Catholic principle requires that we measure every policy, every institution, and every action by whether it protects human life and enhances human dignity, especially for the poor and vulnerable.

La doctrina social católica: 7 Temas principales 7. CUIDADO DE LA CREACIÓN DE DIOS La tradición católica insiste en mostrar nuestro respeto al Creador por nuestra mayordomía de la creación. El cuidado de la tierra es un requisito de nuestra fe. Estamos llamados a proteger a las personas y al planeta, viviendo nuestra fe en relación con toda la creación de Dios. Este desafío ambiental tiene dimensiones morales y éticas fundamentales que no pueden ser ignoradas. Esta enseñanza es una tradición compleja y matizada con muchos otros elementos importantes. Principios como la "subsidiariedad" y el "bien común" señalan las ventajas y limitaciones de los mercados, las responsabilidades y los límites del gobierno y las funciones esenciales de las asociaciones voluntarias. Estos principios se basan en el fundamento de la enseñanza social católica: la dignidad de la vida humana. Este principio católico central requiere que medimos cada política, cada institución y cada acción por si protege la vida humana y mejora la dignidad humana, especialmente para los pobres y vulnerables.

FOUR MORE HOLY DAYS IN 2017: All Saints’ Day November 1st; Immaculate Conception December 8

th; Christmas December

25th; Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God January 1

st. In the USA there are a total of six holy days of obligation, determined by

the Catholic Bishops of the United States. Other countries have as many as ten! Italy for example celebrates the Feast of Corpus Christi on a Thursday late in the Easter season; in the USA the Bishops moved that feast to a Sunday. All but three US regions moved Ascension Thursday to a Sunday celebration; Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Connecticut still keep Ascension on Thursday as do most countries of the Catholic world.

Catholic Social Teaching in Seven Parts 1. LIFE AND DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON In a world warped by materialism and declining respect for human life, the Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. Our belief in the sanctity of human life and the inherent dignity of the human person is the foundation of all the principles of our social teaching. In our society, human life is under direct attack from abortion and assisted suicide. The value of human life is being threatened by increasing use of the death penalty. The dignity of life is undermined when the creation of human life is reduced to the manufacture of a product, as in human

cloning or proposals for genetic engineering to create "perfect" human beings. We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.

La doctrina social católica: 7 Temas principales 1. VIDA Y DIGNIDAD DE LA PERSONA HUMANA En un mundo deformado por el materialismo y la disminución de respeto a la vida humana, la Iglesia Católica proclama que la vida humana es sagrada y que la dignidad de la persona humana es el fundamento de una visión moral de la sociedad. Nuestra creencia en la santidad de la vida humana y la dignidad inherente a la persona humana es el fundamento de todos los principios de nuestra doctrina social. En nuestra sociedad, la vida humana está bajo ataque directo del aborto y el suicidio asistido. El valor de la vida humana se ve amenazada por el aumento de uso de la pena de muerte. La dignidad de la vida se ve socavada cuando la creación de la vida humana se reduce a la fabricación de un producto, como en la clonación o propuestas para la ingeniería genética humana para crear seres humanos "perfectos". Creemos que cada persona es valiosa, que las personas son más importantes que las cosas.

Catholic Social Teaching in Seven Parts 2. CALL TO FAMILY, COMMUNITY, AND PARTICIPATION IN a global culture driven by excessive individualism, our tradition proclaims that the person is not only sacred but also social. How we organize our society, in economics and politics, in law and policy, directly affects human dignity and the capacity of individuals to grow in community. The family is the central social institution that must be supported and strengthened, not undermined. While our society often exalts individualism, the Catholic tradition teaches that human beings grow and achieve fulfillment in community. We believe people have a right and a duty to participate in society, seeking together the common good and well-being of all, especially the poor and vulnerable. Our Church teaches that the role of government and other institutions is to protect human life and human dignity and promote the common good. (Next week: Rights and responsibilities.)

La doctrina social católica: 7 Temas principales 2. LLAMADO A LA FAMILIA, COMUNIDAD Y LA PARTICIPACIÓN En una cultura global impulsado por un excesivo individualismo, nuestra tradición proclama que la persona no sólo es sagrada sino también social. ¿Cómo organizamos nuestra sociedad, en la economía y la política, en las leyes y políticas, afecta directamente a la dignidad humana y la capacidad de los individuos para crecer en comunidad. La familia es la institución social central que debe ser apoyado y fortalecido, no debilitado. Mientras que nuestra sociedad a menudo exalta el individualismo, la tradición católica enseña que los seres humanos crecen y realizarse en la comunidad. Creemos que las personas tienen el derecho y el deber de participar en la sociedad, buscando juntos el bien común y el bienestar de todos, especialmente los pobres y vulnerables. Nuestra Iglesia enseña que el papel del gobierno y otras instituciones es proteger la vida humana y la dignidad humana y promover el bien común. (Próxima semana: Derechos y responsabilidades.)

Catholic Social Teaching in Seven Parts 3. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES Today some speak mostly of "rights" and others mostly of "responsibilities". Catholic tradition teaches that human dignity can be protected and a healthy community can be achieved only if human rights are protected and responsibilities are met. Therefore, every person has a fundamental right to life and a right to those things required for human decency. Corresponding to these rights are duties and responsibilities: to one another, to our families, and to the larger society. While public debate in our nation is often divided between those who focus on personal responsibility and those who focus on social

responsibilities, our tradition insists that both are necessary. (Next: Option for the Poor and Vulnerable.)

La doctrina social católica: 7 Temas principales 3. DERECHOS Y RESPONSABILIDADES Hay algunos que hablan sobre todo de los "derechos" y otros ponen énfasis en "responsabilidades". La tradición católica enseña que la dignidad humana puede ser protegida y una comunidad sana puede alcanzarse si los derechos humanos están protegidos y se cumplen las responsabilidades. Por lo tanto, cada persona tiene un derecho fundamental a la vida y el derecho a aquellas cosas que requiere la decencia humana. En correspondencia con estos derechos son deberes y responsabilidades, entre sí, a nuestras familias, y para la sociedad en general. Si bien el debate público en nuestro país a menudo se divide entre aquellos que se centran en la responsabilidad personal y aquellos que se centran en las responsabilidades sociales, nuestra tradición insiste en que ambos son necesarios. (Enseguida: Opción por los pobres y vulnerables.)

Catholic Social Teaching in Seven Parts 4. OPTION FOR THE POOR AND VULNERABLE. In a world characterized by growing prosperity for some and pervasive poverty for others, Catholic teaching proclaims that a basic moral test is how our most vulnerable members are faring. In a society marred by deepening divisions between rich and poor, our tradition recalls the story of the Last Judgment (Mt 25:31-46) and instructs us to put the needs of the poor and vulnerable first. 5. The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers. In a marketplace where too often the quarterly bottom line takes precedence over the rights of workers, we believe that the economy must serve people, not the other way around. Work is more than a way to make a living; it is a form of continuing participation in God's creation. If the dignity of work is to be protected, then the basic rights of workers must be respected, the right to productive work, to decent and fair wages, to organize and join unions, to private property, and to economic initiative.

Respecting these rights promotes an economy that protects human life, defends human rights, and advances the well-being of all. (Next: solidarity)

La doctrina social católica: 7 Temas principales 4. OPCIÓN POR LOS POBRES Y VULNERABLES En un mundo caracterizado por una creciente prosperidad de unos pocos y la pobreza generalizada por los demás, la enseñanza católica proclama que una prueba moral básica es cómo nuestros miembros más vulnerables están pasando. En una sociedad marcada por la profundización de las divisiones entre ricos y pobres, nuestra tradición recuerda la historia del juicio final (Mt 25: 31-46) y nos enseña a poner las necesidades de la primera pobres y vulnerables. 5. La dignidad del trabajo y los derechos de los trabajadores En un mercado donde demasiado a menudo la línea de fondo trimestral tiene prioridad sobre los derechos de los trabajadores, creemos que la economía debe servir a la gente, no al revés. El trabajo es más que una manera de ganarse la vida; se trata de una forma de continuar participando en la creación de Dios. Si la dignidad del trabajo se ha de proteger, a continuación, los derechos básicos de los trabajadores deben ser respetados, el derecho a un trabajo productivo, a salarios dignos y justos, a organizarse y unirse a los sindicatos, a la propiedad privada y la iniciativa económica. El respeto de estos derechos promueve una economía que protege la vida humana, defiende los derechos humanos, y avanza el bienestar de todos. (Proxima: solidaridad)
