Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Jan. 17, 2016 Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
En el Evangelio de hoy, escuchamos el relato de las bodas de Caná. En estas bodas, Jesús realizo su primer milagro por
intervención de su Madre. Hasta el día de hoy, María continúa siendo un ejemplo para cada uno de nosotros. No solamente podemos
pedirle cosas a Jesús, también podemos pedir la intersección de la Virgen María por cada uno de nosotros. Ella nos recuerda esto:
“Hagan lo que Él les diga”. Hacer lo que Dios nos pide no es siempre fácil, sin embargo Él es la fuente de salvación y es el único
que trae esperanza al mundo. Jesús comenzó su ministerio con esta palabra: “SIGUEME”, lo hizo cuando Él eligió a sus apóstoles
para que lo siguieran. Después de esta petición les dijo a sus seguidores: “VAYAN” y proclamen la buena nueva. Así como los dis-
cípulos fueron “LLAMADOS” a seguir a Jesús, nosotros: ¿vamos a “IR” y proclamar Su mensaje y a compartir Su misericordia?
María nos recuerda: “hagan lo que Él les diga”. Recuerden, “las acciones hablan más que mil las palabras”. Hermanos y hermanas:
que dada uno de nosotros usemos nuestros talentos y dones para construir el reino de Dios y así mejorar nuestro mundo. Que me-
diante la intercesión de la Virgen María nuestras acciones reflejen nuestra fe y traigan esperanza y misericordia al mundo. Paz. P.
Tomás.
Juntos en Misión - El correo para la Campana de Juntos en Misión 2016 ha comenzado. Esta Campaña ayuda las parroquias y
colegios de nuestra Arquidiócesis más necesitadas (37 parroquias y 56 escuelas católicas). Estos fondos ayudan a mantener una pre-
sencia católica muy significativa en algunas zonas más pobres de nuestra Arquidiócesis. Habiendo sido pastor por 8 años en una
parroquia que recibió asistencia financiera a través de este programa, el P. Tom sabe de primera mano cómo esta Campaña es vital.
Por favor, haga un compromiso a esta Campaña. La información se encuentra en el vestíbulo de la Iglesia. Muchísimas gracias.
Bienvenido a Parker Sandoval - El P. Parker regresa a la parroquia del Sagrado Corazón este fin de semana con el propósito
de motivarnos a contribuir a la Campaña Juntos en Misión. Desde que él está viviendo en el interior de la ciudad, él puede compartir
de primera mano las necesidades y cuán importante es su apoyo.
Cita del Papa Francisco—En el Evangelio lo esencial es la misericordia...Jesús lo dice claramente: “Sean misericordiosos,
como vuestro Padre es misericordioso” (Lc 6,36). ¿Podrá haber unos cristianos que no sea misericordioso? No. Un cristiano debe
necesariamente ser misericordioso, porque la misericordia es el centro del Evangelio, (Audiencia general el día 10 de Septiembre,
2014, Plaza de San Pedro)

Las Acciones Hablan Más Que Mil Palabras
In the Gospel today we hear the story of the wedding feast at Cana. At this wed-
ding feast Jesus performed his first miracle, and this miracle was prompted by the re-
quest of his mother. Mary continues to be an example for all of us. Not only should we
request things from Jesus, we can turn to Mary and ask her to intercede for us. She re-
minds us to "do whatever he tells you." Doing what God asks isn't always easy, but it is the source of salvation and brings
hope to the world. Jesus began his ministry with the word "COME" when he selected
apostles to come and follow him. The final request he made to his followers was to "GO"
and proclaim the good news. As disciples who have been called to COME and follow
Jesus, are we GOING to proclaim his message and share his mercy? Mary reminds us to
"do whatever he tells you." Remember, actions speak louder than words. May we each use our gifts, talents
and treasure for the building of God's kingdom and for the betterment of our
world. Through the intercession of Mary may our actions reflect our faith and bring hope
and mercy to the world. Peace. Fr. Tom
Together In Mission – The mailing for the 2016 Together in Mission Campaign
has begun. This Campaign assists needy parishes and schools in our Archdiocese (37 parishes and 56 Catholic schools). These
funds help maintain a meaningful Catholic presence in some of the most impoverished areas of our Archdiocese. Having been a
pastor for over 8 years in a parish that received financial assistance through this program, Fr. Tom knows first-hand how vital this
campaign is. Please make some commitment for this Campaign. Additional information is in the back of the Church. Thank you.
Welcome Fr. Parker Sandoval – Fr. Parker returns to Sacred Heart this weekend to address the Together in Mission Ap-
peal. Since he is living in the inner city, he can share first-hand the needs and how vital is our support.

In the Spotlight
The Spirituality of a Minister
Tina Halamicek
As I am making my Spiritual journey through this Year of Mercy, I am discover-
ing that it’s not important to be busy, doing and fulfilling many things throughout
the day as it is more important to be Christ to others. As I was sitting in Church
before Mass one day, I was so strongly driven to get out of my seat and walk over
to the Tabernacle room. As I entered the room, there was a lady sitting in the
pew, who I had never seen before. I smiled at her, she smiled back at me and I
introduced myself to her, told her my name, and welcomed her to our church. She
was a bit startled at this, however, she responded by saying thank you and had an
even bigger smile on her face as I began to turn and walk away.
For me, my heart was filled with joy at the smallest thing I did with great love.
This was Mother Theresa’s mantra, “Do Small Things with Great Love.” This is
how I love my church, my faith, my community. As a Sacristan Coordinator, Gift
Shop Coordinator, and volunteer at our Church, my day can get very hectic and I can easily be distracted by the doing of things rather than doing things that will
make those that come to our church feel welcomed and loved. My prayer is that
we can grow to understand that the heart of all our ministry is to express our love
and charity to others here at Sacred Heart Church during this Year of Mercy.

Ushers and Greeters
Needed
A warm welcome greatly enhanc-
es worship and community even
before the Mass begins. For new-
comers, it is the first impression
that people have about how
friendly our church body truly is.
The simple message that they
provide is: "all are welcome in the
presence of God's people!"
Greeters welcome the parishion-
ers as they enter Mass and the
Ushers give assistance during the
worship service. It would imply
coming 20 minutes before Mass
begins in order to serve. If you
are interested in volunteering
please call (661) 202-0995, or
even talk to an usher or greeter
after any of the Masses to inquire.
Thank you!
Quote from Pope Francis
In the Gospel the essential thing is
mercy…Jesus says this clearly, sum-
marizing his teaching for the disci-
ples: “be merciful, even as your Fa-
ther is merciful” (Luke 6:36). Can
there be a Christian who isn’t merci-
ful? No. A Christian must necessari-
ly be merciful, because this is the
center of the Gospel. (General Audi-
ence, St. Peter’s Square, Sept. 10,
2014)
