CHRIST’S PRESENCE IN THE WORLD There’s a bit of a “missing link” in the first two sentences of today’s Gospel from Mark. In the first, the apostles return from having been sent out on mission two by two (“one who is sent” is the meaning of “apostle”). Their instructions were to preach repentance, drive out demons, and heal the sick in Jesus’ name. In the second sentence, Jesus tells them to come away with him and rest a while. It would be nice for us to imagine that, between those two sentences, a look of amazed gratitude and pleasure crossed the face of Jesus as he hears of the kingdom proclaimed in his name, and how they didn’t have to shake the dust off their feet anywhere. They deserved a rest! It might not be bad for us, when we gather together with Jesus as the apostles do today, to do this kind of debriefing, allowing the Lord to hear what we’ve sought to do in his name, our successes, our failures, our need to get away with him for a while to be fortified for further work in God’s name. For we, the baptized, are not only the flock of Jesus Christ; through water and the power of the Spirit we have also become the Body of Christ, the presence of the Shepherd for the life of the world.

Yet if you seek a way that offers light, test his way. In small pieces, one word at a time, one small slice of life at a time, try it out. If it does become light for you, stay with it and explore yet more of it. No one has ever come to all of holiness in a day. Copyright © 2014, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

For more information, contact Mandy Lebow, Dear Dedicated Parishioners: First, I'd like to begin with a big "THANKS" for the on-going support to Sacred Heart School. Thanks to your generosity in our 5th Sunday collections, I was able to offer Tuition Assistance to 10 families; some who would have not returned to Sacred Heart School without your help. Your kind support brought our school a little over $9400.00 and we are so grateful for every penny! Thanks also, to the Catholic Daughters and Italian Catholic Federation for the financial support they have offered and to the Knights of Columbus for the assistance in our kitchen. So many of our families have put a Catholic education at the top of their priority list for their children. Our school is growing and thriving and I am so proud to be part of that growth. Our Accreditation this year commended us on our community involvement, parish support and Catholic Identity. They awarded us a 6 year Accreditation! We share that with you, our Parish, as we work together to support Catholic education! Blessings in Christ, Connie Rossi Rains, Principal Sacred Heart Students who will be attending Palma this fall. CATHOLIC DAUGHTERS - As we come to the end of our 2014/15 fiscal year, the members of Court John Paul II of Catholic Daughters do want to express our deep appreciation and thanks to the very generous parishioners at Sacred Heart Church. Your constant support throughout the year allowed us to provide some charitable donations to a variety of entities in our community. In support of Catholic education, we were able to help Sacred Heart’s Faith Formation Program, Sacred Heart School, and our very enthusiastic local Seminarian, David Ramirez. We were also able to provide some financial help to the local programs that help homeless, foster and needy children. When misfortune struck their facilities, we also provided recovery funds to the Food Bank of Monterey County and to Dorothy’s Kitchen. Madonna Manor Retirement Home and the Confidence Pregnancy Center were also recipients of our donations. While it gives us great pride to see the positive difference that our hard working Catholic Daughters Court was able to accomplish during the year, we fully recognize that, without YOUR help and support, we could not have done it. PALMA SCHOOL is a private Catholic school for young men, grades 7-12. We are dedicated to providing young men an excellent college preparatory education in a Roman Catholic environment that embraces The Essential Elements of an Edmund Rice Christian Brother Education. Palma School is still accepting applications for the Fall 2015 semester for grades 7 through 12. The application can be found online at www.palmaschool.org under Admission. Families are encouraged to apply for Financial Aid online. Family tours are available through the Admission office. Please call (831) 422-6391 and ask to speak to the Director of Admission to set up your tour today.

It seems to me, and to some of the parishioners I’ve talked with, that things seem better. Does it seem that way to you? I think that as long as we are consistent and each of us takes responsibility in doing our part, we’ll see more improvements. Our policy of not permitting panhandling or loitering is still the rule. Please do not give money to people standing outside the Church. As hard as that might be for good, generous Christians, remember how many opportunities there are to be charitable around here - St. Vincent de Paul, I-Help, the Parish Food Pantry, Wednesday morning faith-sharing and our monthly neighborhood breakfast, among others. Jesus reminds us that “the poor will always be with you”(Mark 14:7), and part of our Christian journey of discipleship is working for just change to alleviate the suffering of our neighbors. If you think we’re doing okay on this, or if you can think of ways to make improvements, please let me know. My door is always open. We have a common interest in making our Church a safe, welcoming, and holy place to worship our Risen Lord, here in the heart of Salinas. Junipero Serra "A passer avant, y nunca retroceder" Move forward and never turn back - Junipero Serra Did you know that on November 24, 1713, Miguel Jose Serra was baptized on the day of his birth because he appeared frail and those attending his birth feared he might not survive?
