TWENTY THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Exodus 32:7-11, 13-14, 1 Timothy 1:12-17
Luke 15:1-32 or 15:1-10 Brief Reflection: We are all sons and daughters of our merciful Creator God. God the Father shows remarkable mercy to us when we stray from following him. When we sin, we are called to repentance and to accept God’s gracious mercy. By the same token, when others stray, we are to welcome them back with joy when they repent. We are all sons and daugh-ters of the same merciful Father.
A Word from Fr. James… Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, On this coming Wednesday we will have a slight change in our time for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Starting on September 18, Wednesday evening, confessions will start at 5:15 pm and will finish at 6:15 pm. Saturday will remain the same, 3:30-4:30 pm. (A side note, you are always welcome to call the office to schedule a time for reconciliation if either of those two times will not work)
Also, beginning on Wed., Sept. 18, we will now have an even-ing daily Mass in Spanish at 6:30 pm. All are welcome to attend. Often it is difficult for people that work during the week to be able to attend daily Mass. So, this is another op-portunity in addition to Saturday mornings at 8 am to attend Mass during the week.
Since we are talking about daily Mass, I would like to take this opportunity to invite all of you to prayerfully consider adding daily Mass as part of your daily routines. I started at-tending daily Mass when I was first baptized into the Church in 1995. When I moved to Portland in 1998, I did not resume attending daily Mass regularly until about late 2002. Since then, with rare exception, have I ever not attended daily Mass and now that I am a priest, I have celebrated Mass every sin-gle day since. It has been an incredible blessing in my life and I would invite each of you to consider how it may become a blessing in your life. I know that not everyone is able to make it to church every day due to family, work, and other commit-ments, but many of us can, who maybe don’t have other com-mitments.
Daily Mass at Sacred Heart Church is 8 am Tuesday to Friday. Wednesdays at 6:30 pm and Saturday at 8 am at St. Louis.
May God bless each of our Parish Families. Fr. James
Prayer Intentions Let us pray for those who are sick in our commu-nity. Remember these parishioners and friends of the Parish in your prayers: David Fend (hear t surgery recovery) Marge Wallace (failing health) Tom and Marge Pranger (recovery)
Teddy Davidson (hospice) Margaret Koenig (health) May you find consolation in knowing that you are thought of and prayed for in this time of need.
SACRED HEART CATHOLIC SCHOOL 503-792-4541 [email protected] School has been in session for 2 weeks and our hallways have been filled with the sounds of laughter, joy and prayer. Our school family will be praying the Rosary together on September 18, 2019 at 9 AM in the church.
We would love to have our parish family join us. Our 6th/7th/8th grade class will be leading us. All volunteers to our school will need to attend a C.A.S.E (Creating a Safe Environment). We will be holding our first session on
Thurs., September 26, at 7 PM in the school library. We would love to have volunteers to read with our stu-dents or help with recess duties. Call the school office if you can volunteer!

Un Palabra de P. Santiago… Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo: El próximo miércoles tendremos un ligero cambio en nuestro tiempo para el Sacramento de la Reconciliación. A partir del 18 de septiembre, miércoles por la noche, las confesiones comen-zarán a las 5:15 pm y terminarán a las 6:15 pm. El sábado per-manecerá igual, 3:30-4:30 pm. (Una nota al margen, siempre puede llamar a la oficina para programar una hora de reconcili-ación si alguna de esas dos veces no se sirve.)
Además, comenzando el miércoles 18 de septiembre, ahora tendremos una Misa diaria en español a las 6:30 pm. Todos son bienvenidos para asistir. A menudo es difícil para las personas que trabajan durante la semana poder asistir a Misa diaria. Por lo tanto, esta es otra oportunidad además de los sábados por la mañana a las 8 am para asistir a Misa durante la semana.
Como estamos hablando de la Misa diaria, me gustaría aprovechar esta oportunidad para invitarlos a todos a considerar en oración agregar Misa diaria como parte de sus rutinas diari-as. Comencé a asistir a Misa diaria cuando me bauticé por pri-mera vez en la Iglesia en 1995. Cuando me mudé a Portland en 1998, no volví a asistir a Misa diaria regularmente hasta finales de 2002. Desde entonces, con la rara excepción, nunca he faltado asistir a Misa diaria. Misa y ahora que soy sacerdote, he celebrado Misa todos los días desde entonces. Ha sido una bendición increíble en mi vida y les invitaría a cada uno de ustedes a considerar cómo puede convertirse en una bendición en su vida. Sé que no todos pueden llegar a la iglesia todos los días debido a compromisos familiares, laborales y de otro tipo, pero muchos de nosotros podemos, quienes tal vez no tenemos otros compromisos.
La Misa diaria en la Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón es de 8 am de martes a Viernes, los miércoles a las 6:30 pm y los sábados a las 8 am en San Luis. Que Dios bendiga a cada una de nuestras familias parroquiales. P. Santiago

Breve Reflexion: Todos somos hijos e hijas de nuestro misericordioso Dios Creador. Dios Padre nos muestra una notable misericordia cu-ando nos apartamos de él. Cuando pecamos, somos llamados al arrepentimiento y a aceptar la misericor-dia de Dios. De la misma manera, cuando otros se alejan, debemos darles la bienvenida con alegría cu-ando se arrepienten. Todos somos hijos e hijas del mismo Padre misericordioso.

Almighty Lord God, You keep on giving abundance to men in the dew of heaven, and food out of the richness of the soil. We give thanks to Your most gracious majesty for the fruits of the field which we have gathered. We beg of You, in Your mercy, to bless our harvest, which we have re-ceived from Your generosity. Preserve it, and keep it from all harm. Grant, too, that all those whose desires You have filled with these good things may be happy in Your protection. May they praise Your mercies forever, and make use of the good things that do not last in such a way that they may not lose those goods that are everlasting, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
