Sacred Heart Catholic Church Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time – February 1, 2015 FR. PATRICK REILLEY Sacred Heart Catholic Church 302 South B Street Arkansas City, KS 67005 MASS SCHEDULE Tuesday - Friday 8:00 a.m. Saturday 6:00 p.m. Sunday 9:00 a.m. MISA EN ESPAÑOL Domingo 11:00 a.m. Reflection from the Pastor: February 2nd brings us to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, formerly known as the Purification of Mary. This feast day commemorates how, forty days after Our Lord’s birth, His parents brought Him to the Temple in Jerusalem in order to fulfill the Old Testament Law. This beautiful custom recalled God’s command that the firstborn son belongs to Him (Exodus 13:2). The texts for the Mass recall the prophecy from Malachi, who described the coming of the Lord into His Temple and the coming of his “messenger of the covenant”. Our God-made-man, Jesus Christ, has united himself to us through the Incarnation: God comes to us, and shares with us his love and peace.

Religious Education CYM Feb. 4th – 7 pm Drinks: Sarah Kuffler Food: Cristian Calvo PSR (Grades 1-8) Sunday, Feb. 8th - 10 a.m. RCIA Sunday, 7 p.m. Meditación del Párroco: El 2 de febrero nos trae a la fiesta de la Presentación del Señor, antes conocida como la Purificación de María. Esta festividad conmemora cómo, cuarenta días después del nacimiento de Nuestro Señor, sus padres le llevaron al templo de Jerusalén con el fin de cumplir con la ley del Antiguo Testamento. Esta hermosa costumbre recuerda el mandato de Dios de que el hijo primogénito pertenece a Él (Éxodo 13: 2). Los textos de la Misa recuerdan la profecía de Malaquías, quien describió la venida del Señor en su templo y la llegada de su "mensajero de la Alianza". Nuestro Dios hecho hombre, Jesucristo, se ha unido a nosotros a través de la Encarnación: Dios viene a nosotros, y comparte con nosotros su amor y la paz.
