FOUNDATION OFFICE NEWS Sydney Ingalls, a 2012 graduate of Sacred Heart School, generously donated her graduation money towards a buddy bench for Sacred Heart Elementary School. Sydney is the daughter of Kevin and Vonnie Carda. After graduation I was talking to my mom about ways that I could give back to the school. We discussed a “buddy bench” for recess. I am thankful for the friends that I met at Sacred Heart and the fun we had. Those friendships helped ease the nervousness as we entered the high school. When we gathered at the alumni mass, sang songs, and talked of our traditions it was a feeling of family. Walking the SHS halls in our graduation cap and gown brought a sense of pride to know that our accomplishments were in part the efforts of our families and teachers along the way. Funny how the halls and lockers seemed so much smaller, I guess we have grown in other ways also. I realized that I have been very fortunate to be at Sacred Heart School. It was here that I learned the value of hard work, academics, friends, family, and most importantly my faith. I hope that the students at Sacred Heart will have those same experiences and take time to talk and build friendships at recess on the “buddy bench.” Sydney Ingalls SHS class of 2012 YHS Class of 2016

♦♦♦ FROM THE PASTOR ♦♦♦ The following is a reflection on this Sunday’s Gospel from Pope Francis on May 18th of this year: “I should like to pause with you today on the parable of the rich man and the poor Lazarus.… Lazarus is a good example of the silent cry of the poor throughout the ages and the contradictions of a world in which immense wealth and resources are in the hands of the few. Jesus says that one day that rich man died…. In life he showed no consideration toward God. Instead he made himself the center of all things, closed inside his world of luxury and wastefulness. In excluding Lazarus, he did not take into consideration the Lord nor his law. To ignore a poor man is to scorn God! We must learn this well: to ignore the poor is to scorn God…. In the second part of the parable, we again meet Lazarus and the rich man after their death (vv. 22-31). In the hereafter the situation is reversed: the poor Lazarus is carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom in heaven, while the rich man is thrown into torment. Thus the rich man “lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus in his bosom”. He seems to see Lazarus for the first time, but his words betray him: “Father Abraham”, he calls, “have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame”. Now the rich man recognizes Lazarus and asks for his help, while in life he pretended not to see him. How often do many people pretend not to see the poor! To them the poor do not exist. Before he denied him even the leftovers from his table, and now he would like him to bring him a drink! He still believes he can assert rights through his previous social status. Declaring it impossible to grant his request, Abraham personally offers the key to the whole story: he explains that good things and evil things have been distributed so as to compensate for earthly injustices, and the door that in life separated the rich from the poor is transformed into “a great chasm”. As long as Lazarus was outside his house, the rich man had the opportunity for salvation, to thrust open the door, to help Lazarus, but now that they are both dead, the situation has become irreparable. God is never called upon directly, but the parable clearly warns: God’s mercy toward us is linked to our mercy toward our neighbor; when this is lacking, also that of not finding room in our closed heart, He cannot enter. If I do not thrust open the door of my heart to the poor, that door remains closed. Even to God. This is terrible. At this point, the rich man thinks about his brothers, who risk suffering the same fate, and he asks that Lazarus return to the world in order to warn them. But Abraham replies: “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them”. In order to convert, we must not wait for prodigious events, but open our heart to the Word of God, which calls us to love God and neighbor. The Word of God may revive a withered heart and cure it of its blindness. The rich man knew the Word of God, but did not let it enter his heart, he did not listen to it, and thus was incapable of opening his eyes and of having compassion for the poor man. No messenger and no message can take the place of the poor whom we meet on the journey, because in them Jesus himself comes to meet us: “as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me” (Mt 25:40), Jesus says. Thus hidden in the reversal of fate that the parable describes lies the mystery of our salvation, in which Christ links poverty with mercy.”

Page 4 VIDEO ROSARY – Cable TV Channel 3 & 98 Monday – Fridays at 12:30pm FAMILY RADIO ROSARY — KVHT 106.3 FM (Sunday through Thursday, 10:00 p.m.) From the cross, Jesus gave His Mother to us to be our Mother. The progression of that is that Jesus becomes our Brother as well as our God, as He is Mary’s Son and Her God. We have been raised to an immense level, we who are flawed, but belong to prestigious holy family. To continue the tremendous thread of that action, we know that the holy angels cannot call Mary their Mother nor can they call Jesus their brother. God has lifted us up in His Love for us. Mary as our Mother, helps us to maintain our best qualities and resist sin. She has given us a most powerful weapon, the Rosary. Those who use it are on the pathway towards sanctity.
