3 Sacred Heart 303 Paris Street East Boston, MA Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, This weekend our parish begins its Grand Annual Appeal. Over the past few weeks I have underlined the significance of this collection to our parish family. More than ever, we are in dire need of everybody s support. Whatever donation you are able to make, large or small, will be greatly appreciated. As in the past, you are welcomed to make a one time donation or you may space out your gift over three installments. This year, we have set a more aggressive goal than last year. Our goal for this year, once again is $50,000. Last fiscal year, we suffered a devastating deficit of $29,000. In order to balance last year s budget, we had to borrow from our reserve funds. This all but depleted any savings we had. We seriously need all to help in this year s collection. Please consider your donation carefully. As I wrote last weekend, Sacred Heart Parish is grateful for every donation regardless of how large or small. We simply ask each member of the parish to give their donation serious thought and prayer. As always, one Hundred Percent of your donations to the Grand Annual Collection remains at Sacred Heart and to be used solely for Sacred Heart projects. Below are some pictures of what past Grand Annual Collections have helped us accomplish. Interior and exterior of the new handicap bathroom Interior and exterior of the new Church doors Every year people ask me Father, how much am I supposed to give? The truth is, this is different for every person and for every family. For some, a $1,000 gift wouldn t even pinch. But for others, a $500 donation would be a huge burden. Please consider a donation that would cause a bit of a pinch but would not become a real burden. Please give in a manner that will help us but not hurt you. Be most assured of my prayers for each of you and please pray for a successful Grand Annual Collection. I remain as always, Yours in Christ, Fr. Wayne Parish Mission Statement Our parish family seeks to know God by active participation in the Sacraments and spiritual programs; to love God by the daily actions of our lives, to serve God by reaching out and providing for the spiritual and physical needs of our brothers and sisters; and to make faithful disciples of all in our parish family.

4 L I L INGRESSO GLORIA La carità è paziente, la carità è benigna, comprende, non si adirà e non dispera mai. La carità perdona, la carità si adatta, si dona senza sosta con gioia e umiltà. Gloria a Dio nell'alto dei cieli e pace in terra agli uomini di buona volontà. Noi ti lodiamo, ti benediciamo, ti adoriamo, ti glorifichiamo, ti rendiamo grazie per la tua gloria immensa, Signore Dio, Re del cielo, Dio Padre onnipotente. Signore, Figlio unigenito, Gesù Cristo, Signore Dio, Agnello di Dio, Figlio del Padre; tu che togli i peccati del mondo, abbi pietà di noi; tu che togli i peccati del mondo, accogli la nostra supplica; tu che siedi alla destra del Padre, abbi pietà di noi. Perché tu solo il Santo, tu solo il Signore, tu solo l'altissimo Gesù Cristo, con lo Spirito Santo nella gloria di Dio Padre. Amen. PRIMA LETTURA L Importanza della Santa Messa A Messa facciamo della nostra vita un sacrificio a Dio. Che e è di più grande che offrire le nostre povere azioni a Dio per dar loro un valore universal ed eterno? Quello che noi offriamo a Dio, in unione col sacrificio di Gesù, viene messo a disposizione di tutti e per tutta l eternità. Dal libro dell Èsodo Così dice il Signore: «Non molesterai il forestiero né lo opprimerai, perché voi siete stati forestieri in terra d Egitto. Non maltratterai la vedova o l orfano. Se tu lo maltratti, quando invocherà da me l aiuto, io darò ascolto al suo grido, la mia ira si accenderà e vi farò morire di spada: le vostre mogli saranno vedove e i vostri figli orfani. Se tu presti denaro a qualcuno del mio popolo, all indigente che sta con te, non ti comporterai con lui da usuraio: voi non dovete imporgli alcun interesse. Se prendi in pegno il mantello del tuo prossimo, glielo renderai prima del tramonto Del sole, perché è la sua sola coperta, è il mantello per la sua pelle; come potrebbe coprirsi dormendo? Altrimenti, quando griderà verso di me, io l ascolterò, perché io sono pietoso». Verbum Domini Deo Gratias SALMO RESPONSORIALE Ti amo, Signore, mia forza. SECONDA LETTURA Dalla prima lettera di san Paolo apostolo ai Tessalonicési Fratelli, ben sapete come ci siamo comportati in mezzo a voi per il vostro bene. E voi avete seguito il nostro esempio e quello del Signore, avendo accolto la Parola in mezzo a grandi prove, con la gioia dello Spirito Santo, così da diventare modello per tutti i credenti della Macedònia e dell Acàia. Infatti per mezzo vostro la parola del Signore risuona non soltanto in Macedònia e in Acàia, ma la vostra fede in Dio si è diffusa dappertutto, tanto che non abbiamo bisogno di parlarne. Sono essi infatti a raccontare come noi siamo venuti in mezzo a voi e come vi siete convertiti dagli idoli a Dio, per servire il Dio vivo e vero e attendere dai cieli il suo Figlio, che egli ha risuscitato dai morti, Gesù, il quale ci libera dall ira che viene. Verbum Domini Deo Gratias ALLELUIA LLELUIA, ALLELUIA. Se uno mi ama, osserverà la mia parola, dice il Signore, e il Padre mio lo amerà e noi verremo a lui. ALLELUIA LLELUIA. VANGELO Il Signore sia con tutti voi E con il tuo spirito. Dal vangelo di Matteo Gloria a Te, O Signore. In quel tempo, i farisei, avendo udito che Gesù aveva chiuso la bocca ai sadducèi, si riunirono insieme e uno di loro, un dottore della Legge, lo interrogò per metterlo alla prova: «Maestro, nella Legge, qual è il grande comandamento?». Gli rispose: «Amerai il Signore tuo Dio con tutto il tuo cuore, con tutta la tua anima e con tutta la tua mente. Questo è il grande e primo comandamento. Il secondo poi è simile a quello: Amerai il tuo prossimo come te stesso. Da questi due comandamenti dipendono tutta la Legge e i Profeti». Verbum Domini Laus Tibi, Christe Sacred Heart Parish Family Paris Street, East Boston, MA 02128

5 CREDO Credo in un solo Dio, Padre onnipotente, creatore del cielo e della terra, di tutte le cose visibili e invisibili. Credo in un solo Signore, Gesù Cristo, unigenito Figlio di Dio, nato dal Padre prima di tutti i secoli. Dio da Dio, Luce da Luce, Dio vero da Dio vero; generato, non creato; della stessa sostanza del Padre; per mezzo di lui tutte le cose sono state create. Per noi uomini e per la nostra salvezza discese dal cielo; e per opera dello Spirito Santo si é incarnato nel seno della Vergine Maria e si é fatto uomo. Fu crocifisso per noi sotto Ponzio Pilato, morì e fu sepolto. Il terzo giorno é risuscitato, secondo le Scritture; é salito al cielo, siede alla destra del Padre. E di nuovo verrà, nella gloria, per giudicare i vivi e i morti, e il suo regno non avrà fine. Credo nello Spirito Santo, che é Signore e dà la vita, e procede dal Padre e dal Figlio e con il Padre e il Figlio é adorato e glorificato e ha parlato per mezzo dei profeti. Credo la Chiesa, una, santa, cattolica e apostolica. Professo un solo battesimo per il perdono dei peccati. Aspetto la risurrezione dei morti e la vita del mondo che verrà. Amen OFFERTORIO Rit: Signore, fa di me uno strumento Signore fa di me uno strumento. FINALE Divin Figlio, nostro Re, la tua vita ci donasti. Battezzati siamo in Te. Nel tuo sangue ci salvi. Santo, Santo, Sei Signor, a Te, gloria lode e onore. La carità è la legge, la carità è la vita, abbraccia tutto il mondo e in ciel si compirà. Il pane che mangiamo, il corpo del Signore, di carità è sorgente e centro d unità. Gran Colletta Annuale La seconda colletts oggi è la nostra Gran Colletta Annuale. Quest anno abbiamo bisogno del vostro aiuto più che degli anni passati. Per favore, date in modo generoso per I bisogni della nostra famiglia. Grazie come sempre per la vostra attenzione e aiuto. COMUNIONE Dove c e l odio, ch io porti l amore, dov e l offesa, ch io porti il perdono. Rit: Signore, fa di me uno strumento Signore fa di me uno strumento Dove c e tristezza, ch io porti la gioia, dov e l errore, ch io porti la verità.

Per Cristo nostro Signore. Amen. Sacred Heart Parish Family Paris Street, East Boston, MA 02128

6 A note from Fr. Wayne... The cover of the bulletin this weekend shows pictures of our Altar. People often inquire what is the most important thing that we do here at Sacred Heart. I have to respond without hesitation that the most important thing we do is the celebration of the Holy Mass. The Holy Mass is the center of all parish activities. It is in the Holy Mass that we encounter the Lord on the hill of Calvary. It is in the Holy Mass that we experience the depths of God s love for us. It is in the Holy Mass that we are united to Heaven. The Holy Mass is our participation, with the great Communion of Saints, in the eternal feast of Heaven. When I was preparing for priestly ordination, I was stationed at St. Mary s in Winchester. A sign hung above the doors of the Church which simply read: This is the most important thing you will do all day. As we enter Holy Mass this weekend, let us acknowledge that this truly is the most important thing we will do today. Sacred Heart Parish Book Club Join us Thursday evening, October 30th at 7:00 p.m. for the next Parish Book Club. The next book will be The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis PLANS ARE ALREADY UNDERWAY FOR THIS YEAR S SACRED HEART PARISH CHRISTMAS BAZAAR SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22nd FROM *11:00 A.M. TO 6:00 P.M. IN MSGR. KILLIAN HALL *11:00 A.M. is Breakfast with Santa. All children are welcome to join us! We are NOW accepting brand new toys or games for our Children s Table & new electronic appliances for our Appliance Table. Merry Christmas Don t blame me for rushing the season! Already, before Halloween, all the major retail stores have a section designated for Christmas. As usual, however, they call it the holiday section. I am amazed that all retailers are standing in line to reap the financial benefits from a season they fail to recognize or acknowledge its true meaning. Let s start early and remind people that the season is Christmas! It is all about the birth of Christ. Help us in spreading the message. We will once again have car or home magnets that display in a beautiful fashion the true meaning of this season. The magnets are only $5.00 each and all proceeds from them will be used to provide gifts this Christmas to those within our community. They will be available after each of the Masses until they last. We have only 100, so get them early and get the message out! St. Vincent de Paul Clothing Drive and mini-flea Market will be held on Saturday, November 1st from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Salesian Boy s and Girl s Club parking Lot. Please come and support this worthy cause. Grazie!!! A word of thanks to Ursula and her staff at Mario s Ristorante for a great Italian Extravaganza. The food was great, as always, and the fun was limitless. In that one afternoon, we raised for the parish $4, Many thanks to all who purchased tickets and bid on the silent auction items. ITALIAN CLASSES Join us each Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. in the Church Hall. The classes are informal & fun. Sacred Heart Parish Family Paris Street, East Boston, MA 02128
