Third Sunday of Easter REMEMBERING DURING THE EASTER SEASON The Easter season gives us many opportunities to remember the totality of what God has done for us. Today, two weeks after Easter, the scripture writers urge us to remember the whole event of the paschal mystery—Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection. This is important because every one of us who is baptized has a share in that mystery. We are constantly called to die to sin and rise to renewed life in Christ Jesus. Today’s Readings: Acts 3:13–15, 17–19; Psalm 4:2, 4, 7–9; 1 John 2: 1–5a; Luke 24:35–48 Copyright © 2005, World Library Publications. All rights reserved. Operation Rice Bowl Collection We are now collecting Operation Rice Bowls! Please bring your Rice Bowls to place in the labeled receptacles at the Blessed Mother & St. Joseph shrines. Or, better yet, why not bring the money you collected to church in a zip lock bag or similar container & keep your Rice Bowl at home. That way you can put spare change in it all year long, & continue to help those in need. What a great “head start” that will be for next year’s campaign. Either way, please bring your Operation Rice Bowl offerings to church this coming week. A big Thank You to everyone who participated in this Lenten activity. May God Bless You, as you have helped to bless the poor! You are invited to attend the Sacred Heart Parish Volunteer Appreciation Mass and Dinner (Adults Only) Saturday, May 16, 2015 5:00pm Mass followed by dinner in Marian Hall Respond by Sunday, May 10th.

BABY BOTTLE PROJECT Beginning this Sunday (today) April 19th, our Women’s Club will be hosting The Baby Bottle Project benefitting The Women’s Centers of Greater Chicagoland. This non-profit organization directly assists mothers and families experiencing crisis pregnancies by offering emotional, financial, material, and spiritual support through counseling, clothing & monetary provisions, prayer, and other aid. Each year the three locations together have over 5,000 appointments with expecting mothers. By God’s grace, The Women’s Centers have saved over 36,000 babies, and their mothers, from abortion since opening in 1984. Please take a Baby Bottle home with you from church, this weekend, April 18/19, fill it with your spare change, and return it the weekend of May 16/17. This is a simple, but crucial fundraising effort for The Women’s Centers. Please note the Baby Bottles cost almost $1.00 per bottle and are recycled afterwards so please return upon completion of the project.

Tercer Domingo de Pascua RECUERDOS Hace dos años, luego de la muerte de mi hermana menor a la edad de 37 años, sentí la necesidad de rodearme de recuerdos de su vida y logros. Los últimos meses que pasó luchando contra una forma agresiva de esclerosis múltiple fue un tiempo en el que su cuerpo simplemente se deterioró. Después de su muerte sentí la imperiosa necesidad de colocar fotos en el cubículo de mi oficina y en mi casa, fotos que mostraban a mi hermana en sus primeros años como una joven vibrante, saludable y brillante. Casi un año después, visité a otra hermana y me di cuenta que en su casa tenía solamente dos fotos de mi difunta hermana. Una de las fotos había sido tomada años atrás y mostraba a nuestra hermana como una joven en toda su vitalidad. La otra fue tomada pocos meses antes de su muerte. En esa foto estaba en una silla de ruedas, pálida, delgada y débil. Mi hermana me dijo que siempre quería tener presente la salud, la enfermedad y la muerte, ya que mostraban a nuestra difunta hermana como realmente era. Para mí fue un momento de gran inspiración. Cuando ahora recuerdo a mi hermana, trato de pensar en las imágenes de sus años de vitalidad, así como en las imágenes de los meses finales y sus últimos días. Todas estas imágenes constituyen lo que realmente era mi hermana. RECORDAMOS DURANTE LA TEMPORADA DE PASCUA La temporada de Pascua nos da muchas oportunidades para recordar todo lo que Dios ha hecho por nosotros. Hoy, dos semanas después de Pascua, los escritores de la Biblia nos instan a recordar todo el acontecimiento del misterio pascual: la pasión, muerte y resurrección de Cristo. Esto es importante porque cada uno de nosotros que es bautizado forma parte de ese misterio. Estamos llamados constantemente a morir en el pecado y resucitar a una vida nueva en Cristo. Lecturas de hoy: Hechos 3:13–15, 17–19; Salmo 4:2, 4, 7–8, 9; 1 Juan 2:1–5a; Lucas 24:35–48 Copyright © 2005, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. If you or one of your loved ones wish to be included on or taken off the sick list each month, please call the Rectory at 344-0757.
