Scripture Readings November 13, 2016
Mal 3:19-20ª Ps 98:5-9 2 Thes 3:7-12
Lk 21:5-19
Jesus teaches that his disciples will be persecuted as a
necessary prelude to the parousia. Through their
perseverance (3), they will emerge victorious (1) when
the Lord comes again (Ps). As we await the Day, let us
conscientiously fulfill our Christian obligations (2).
One of our parishioners has located a moving homily
on You Tube on a perspective to consider when
making decisions in the nearing Presidential Election.

Message from your Spiritually Adopted Baby:
"Thank you for praying for me. My heart is
beating!”
Month 1: Your spiritually adopted baby has
been quite active over the past month. Already
your baby is 10,000 times bigger than at
conception. Your baby has developed the foundations of
his brain, spinal cord, and nervous system by the 20th
day. His heart began to beat on the 21st day, pumping
blood through its own circulatory system and the blood
type can be different from his mother’s. Your baby is
most vulnerable during the next month of being aborted.
Pray that the Lord of Life might move the heart of his
mother to give him the most precious gift of all - - the
gift of life. Spiritual Adoption Prayer: Jesus, Mary
and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare

Sacred Heart School
Fellow Parishioners,
Greetings in Christ! We often talk about
collaboration in our workplaces, and
one facet of leadership examines how
well leaders can facilitate and
encourage meaningful collaboration, in such a way that
it impacts the mission and success of the organization.
Our Archdiocese of course encourages this concept, and
it really hit home in a powerful way last week. Recently,
our School Board formed a Technology Committee, part
of our strategic plan, looking at how to not only
maintain, but grow and improve, our technology
program in the immediate future. The Archdiocese
offered to send the Archdiocesan Director of Academic
Technology to help this committee, and through this
link, we were invited to tour St. Philip Neri on the south
side of the beltway.
I very much thank their principal and technology
instructor, because they were using a dynamic program
that has much inspired our committee. As our team went
down to visit, we learned that their program focuses on
programming, and that there now exists many shape
based, visual programming software systems, that allow
even the youngest children to engage in programming,
also called coding. In their school, students are
programming various robotics devices, small systems
that can then traverse a mat, get around obstacles, or
follow a path, change directions a few times, and return
to a base point. They also use small drones which run on
a pre-programmed code, hovering for a few minutes and
then shifting right or left a few meters before landing.
They had other facets at work as well, including 3D
printing, a major Archdiocesan initiative, and it was a
very exciting day for us, especially because it helped us
envision new opportunities for our children.
Sometimes, none of us can see new opportunities unless
we have help. Scripture tells us in Mark 6: 7-8: “he
summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two
by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits. He
instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a
walking stick—no food, no sack, no money in their
belts.” This was perhaps the first example of our Church
collaborating together the build the Kingdom.
Hopefully, the joy our Technology Committee found in
working with the Archdiocese and St. Philip Neri is
another example of our Church continuing the call to
collaborate.
This week, let us pray for the grace to see where God is
asking us to collaborate, and to allow that collaboration
to indeed build His Kingdom. May God so bless us!
In faith,
Mr. Coyle, Principal
