Our Pastor’s Letter
Sacred Heart of Jesus
The name of a Church is important. For example, a Church named “St. Francis of Assisi” can expect the
help and intercession of St. Francis. Our Church is named for the Sacred Heart of Jesus and it is worth
meditating on this devotion. While this devotion is mentioned before, it is largely connected with Margaret Mary
Alacoque (1647-1690) a religious who had visions of Jesus who desired the devotion to be spread.
Reflecting on the heart of Jesus, we recognize His humanity: He had a heart of flesh as every person
does. The heart is the center of the moral and emotional life. He felt compassion for the crowd, wept at the
death of Lazarus, felt sorrow and distress during His passion. Whatever emotions we feel, His heart can
sympathize because He intensely lived those emotions.
The heart is also a symbol of love. The rays emanating from the Sacred Heart represent the immensity of
God’s love which shines upon the whole world. The flames on the heart signify the fire of love which God has for
each human soul. Above the flame is the cross on which His heart was pierced which reveals to what extent He
was willing to go to manifest His love for us.
Around the heart is a crown of thorns which stands for His suffering heart. Perhaps the greatest sorrow is
unrequited love. One loves a person and desires the best, but the other refuses to accept this love. God
respects our freedom and so will not force us to receive His love. He has come and lived among us, has suffered
and died for us—everything speaks of His unconditional love. For the most part, this love is simply ignored.
His suffering heart is also in reparation for the sins of the world. His suffering has won forgiveness for us.
We can also offer our sufferings for those who do not know His love for them.
The part represents the whole. The heart of Jesus represents His person so that devotion to the heart of
Jesus is devotion to His person. Why has God placed a Church called “Sacred Heart of Jesus” in the heart of
Boulder? I do not think it is just a coincidence; nothing happens by chance. Our Church is the body of Christ. I
think that God wants the fire of His love to burn through our human hearts for all in our community. There is
nothing greater or more powerful than the love that God has for humanity. We first have to be attentive to this
love that has always been present in our lives. If we accept and open ourselves to this love, allowing God to love
us, then this love can consume us and others can be touched by this love through us.
May the fire of love from the Sacred Heart of Jesus burn ever greater in each one of us.
God bless, Fr. Mark.

Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time – Prayer
Exodus 17:8–13. Moses’ hands were raised in prayer constantly to support the faith of those engaged in battle. Just so,
ongoing prayer supports us in the battle to live a life of faith.
Psalm 121:1–8. When we need help in the face of the trials of life, prayer is our first place option. God already knows our
difficulties; he is always ready to help us, but how regularly do we turn to him? Go to God in prayer to find your way to
peace.
Second Letter to Timothy 3:14 —4:2. Our faith grows dim without constant reinforcement by worship, sacraments and
prayer. Paul is urging us to remain faithful to what we have been taught – and to especially look to the Scriptures. They are
God’s Word that form us and equip us for a life of good works and holiness. And he insists that we “be persistent” in prayer.
Gospel of Luke 18:1–8. It is through “constant prayer” that our faith is strengthened and we come to see with God’s eyes.
Many of us pray the Divine Office. Monks and nuns pray together at set hours of the day. We each need to find a way to
pray regularly each day. Take a lesson from the widow who made “continual pleas” to the unjust judge, and “call out to him
(our loving God) night and day.” When the Lord Jesus comes again for us, how strong will our faith be?

SHJ School News
The Flamingos have arrived at SHJS!
With the help of the SHJS 8th grade class, a
lot of pink yard flamingos have arrived at
Sacred Heart!
What does this mean?
For a small fee you can send a flock of
flamingos to roost on a friend's lawn for one
day. The flamingos will only visit SHJ families
and will arrive during the evening and stay for
24 hours. Then they will migrate to another
yard.
Show someone at SHJ that you care about
them by sending a flock of flamingos!
However, take note, the number of flocks are
limited and the flamingos are only here for a
limited time. Soon, they need to fly south for
the winter.
All proceeds go to helping raise funds for the
8th grade annual trip to Washington D.C..
Questions please call the school or Kathy
Keener at 303 931-3170.

Carta de nuestro Párroco
Sagrado Corazón de Jesús
El nombre de una iglesia es importante. Por ejemplo, una Iglesia llamada "San Francisco de Asís "puede
esperar la ayuda y la intercesión de San Francisco. Nuestra Iglesia lleva el nombre del Sagrado
Corazón de
Jesús y vale la pena meditar en esta devoción. Esta devoción ya se mencionaba antes, y se conecta en gran
medida con Margarita María Alacoque (1647-1690) una religiosa que tenía visiones de Jesús, que deseaba que la
devoción se extendiera.
Al reflexionar sobre el corazón de Jesús, podemos reconocer su humanidad: Tenía un corazón de
carne como toda persona lo tiene. El corazón es el centro de la vida moral y emocional. Tuvo compasión de la
multitud, lloró por la muerte de Lázaro, sintió tristeza y angustia durante su pasión. Sea cual sea las
emociones que sentimos, su corazón puede simpatizar porque Él vivió intensamente las emociones.
El corazón es también un símbolo de amor. Los rayos que emanan del sagrado corazón representan la
inmensidad del amor de Dios que brilla sobre el mundo entero. Las llamas en el corazón significan el fuego del
amor que Dios tiene para cada alma humana. Por encima de la llama es la cruz en la que se le abrió el corazón,
que revela hasta qué punto estaba dispuesto a ir a manifestar su amor por nosotros.
Alrededor del corazón se encuentra una corona de espinas que significa Su corazón sufriendo. Tal vez el
dolor más grande es el amor no correspondido. Uno ama a una persona y desea lo mejor, pero el otro se niega a
aceptar ese amor. Dios respeta nuestra libertad y por lo tanto no nos obligará a recibir su amor por nosotros. Él
ha venido y vivido entre nosotros, ha sufrido y ha muerto por nosotros, todo habla del amor incondicional que
Él tiene para nosotros. En su mayor parte ese amor es simplemente ignorado.
Su corazón es el sufrimiento también en reparación de los pecados del mundo. Su sufrimiento ha
ganado el perdón para nosotros. También podemos ofrecer nuestros sufrimientos por aquellos que no conocen su
amor por ellos.
Toda la figura se personifica. El corazón de Jesús representa su persona de modo que la devoción al
corazón de Jesús es la devoción a su persona. ¿Por qué Dios ha puesto una Iglesia llamada "Sagrado Corazón de
Jesús" en el corazón de Boulder? No creo que es sólo una coincidencia; Nada pasa por casualidad. Nuestra
Iglesia es el cuerpo de Cristo. Creo que Dios quiere que el fuego de su amor se encienda a través de nuestros
corazones humanos para todos en nuestra comunidad. No hay nada más grande o más poderoso que el amor que
Dios tiene por la humanidad. Primero tenemos que estar atentos a este amor que siempre ha estado
presente
en nuestras vidas. Si aceptamos y nos abrimos a ese amor, permitiendo a Dios que nos ame, entonces este amor
puede impregnarnos y así su amor llegue a otros a través de nosotros.
Que el fuego del amor del Corazón de Jesús se encienda cada vez más en cada uno de nosotros. Dios los
bendiga.
