DEAR MEMBERS OF SACRED HEART PARISH~ I thank you for sharing your faith life, and yourselves with me these past six years. As administrator of St. Joseph Monastery I have come to know a number of you and I have enjoyed sharing life with you. You will be remembered in my prayers and the prayers of the former members of the monastery. May the Spirit of Benedict and Scholastica, steeped in the love of God, continue to fill your lives with blessings and awe. In the next couple of weeks, I will be returning to my home community St. Walburg Monastery, Covington, KY. I will be ever grateful for my time in St. Marys and the warm welcome and support you extended with open arms. May God s loving presence continue to be our source of strength and comfort in the coming weeks, months, and years. Blessings on each of you. Sincerely yours, Rita Brink, OSB

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time Time Accepting Responsibility Jesus unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. Luke: 4:17b-18a Question of the Week Adult: What do you believe that the anointing you received at baptism requires you to do? Youth: What could you do this week for someone who has less than you? Only Jesus can give our lives the purpose and enthusiasm we long for. Everything else is passing, partial, not satisfying for our souls. But Christ's Kingdom lasts forever, and so all we do for that Kingdom will also last forever. That everlasting meaning and happiness, which we can begin to experience in this life, is exactly what we're longing for. People's dying words can be very instructive in this regard. Elizabeth I, the Queen who launched the British Empire, made England into the dominant world power, and defeated the famous Spanish Armada, died after reigning for almost fifty years. Her dying words were, "All my possessions for a moment of time." Winston Churchill, England's Prime Minister during the crisis of World War II, who many say singlehandedly saved his country from succumbing to Nazi Totalitarianism, died after spending nine days in a coma. His last words before falling into the coma were, "I'm bored with it all." Louis B. Mayer, co-founder of the film production company Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, was a media mogul and builder of what became one of the most lucrative and certainly the most influential industry of modern times - the entertainment industry. In his 25 years with MGM he earned the nickname "Lion of Hollywood", producing more films and movie stars than any other studio and becoming the highest paid man in America, a political force, and Hollywood's leading spokesman. Just before he died of Leukemia at age 72, he said his last words: "Nothing matters. Nothing matters." How is it that people who have seemingly achieved so much value it so little from hindsight? It's because we were made for more than this world has to offer. Jesus came to save us from a life of meaninglessness and frustration. It is in knowing, loving, and following him that our lives take on the true, lasting excitement we long for. And part of following him is being his ambassador to those around us, putting our lives and our talents at the service of bringing others into his friendship. Father Michael ELK COUNTY EYE CLINIC DR.
