Thirty-Second
Sunday of Ordinary Time
November 11, 2007
The late comedian Henny Youngman was famous for
jokes about his wife: “Someone stole all my credit cards, but I won’t be
reporting it. The thief spends less than my wife did.” Youngman’s signature
joke was the one-liner: Take my wife — please!”
In
today’s Gospel, the Sadducees present Jesus with the trick question about who
will take the wife when all the husbands die. They ask, “On the day when all
the dead will rise, whose wife will she be? All seven were married to her.” At
this point Henny might have said:
“I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.”
Jesus
answers the Sadducees with an affirmation of our own resurrection to new life.
He tells us that we will not marry in the world to come because having children
will no longer be necessary. We will all be like angels who live forever.
Sacred Heart Cemetery
The
Catholic Cemetery is a sacred place and consecrated ground. As a final resting
place for members of our Sacred Heart families and their loved ones, our
cemetery is at the service of God and his people as they rest for eternity
until the Lord returns.
Plots
to our cemetery may be purchased for
$450.00 through the month of November. Following that, plots can only be
purchased when a death occurs or in November 2008. To reserve a burial place
10% of the entire cost is needed with full payment required in a year. If you
have an immediate family member who is not registered at Sacred Heart, the cost
is $550.00. Only when full payment is received, are the burial places
considered “purchased.” No burial place is “guaranteed” nor is burial permitted until payment
has been made in full.
Prayer for our
Veterans
We ask for blessings on all those who
have served their country in the armed forces
We ask for healing
for the veterans who have been wounded, in body and soul, in conflicts around
the globe.
We pray especially
for the young men and women, in the thousands, who are coming home from Iraq
with injured bodies and traumatized spirits.
Bring solace to them,
O Lord; may we pray for them when they cannot pray.
We ask for, echoing
John Paul II, an end to wars and the dawning of a new era of peace.
Have mercy on all our
veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq.
Bring peace to their
hearts and peace to the regions in which they fought.
Bless all the
soldiers who served in non-combative posts.
May their calling to service continue in
their lives in many positive ways.
Give us all the
creative vision to see a world which, grown weary with fighting,
Moves to affirming the life of every human
being and so moves beyond war.
Hear our prayer, O Prince
of Peace, hear our prayer.
We will have a Communion
Service at 8:15 a.m. on
Tuesday and Wednesday, November 13 and 14.
Thank you Senior CYO for illuminating the graves at Sacred Heart cemetery last Friday and for spending your free time on Saturday doing yard work for our senior parishioners. Your service is greatly appreciated. The Parish Office has received several calls commenting on how hard you worked and what a great job you did.
