IS YOUR TEENAGER
Why Jesus' heart - and only his heart? The answer is both simple and
profound. In the Bible, the "heart" refers to the "center" of the person,
where reason, will, temperament and tenderness converge. To refer to
a person's moral character, the sacred writers routinely describe that
person's heart, because there the person finds his unity and interior
orientation. The heart is the symbol and synthesis of the person. HAVING DOUBTS?
Therefore to adore Jesus' sacred heart is to worship him in his totality.
But the heart is also the most striking symbol of love. To focus on Get one or both of these books that provide AN-

by a crown of thorns. It was wounded. Thus the image of the sacred

on Good Friday. Those sins continue. Jesus told St. Margaret Mary
that the reason he asked her to spread throughout the world devotion
to his heart was because so many ignore that love or treat it with
scorn. He made a particular reference to the way people treat him in
the sacrament of the Eucharist. "Instead of gratitude," he told her, "I
receive from most only indifference, by irreverence and sacrilege and
the coldness and scorn that men have for me in the sacrament of
love."
Jesus asked St. Margaret Mary to begin the reparation, inviting
her to take St. John's place during the celebration of the Mass, to rest
her head on his heart and, not only sense his love, but share in it. She
felt the Lord take her heart, put it within his own, and return it burning
with divine love into her breast. Jesus wants, in essence, through the
Mass to give us the same type of transplant. He wants us to rest our
heart on his as he celebrates in the Upper Room and to receive from
him his own heart so that we might love God and others as he loves
us. Father Roger Landry

"All the good works in the world are not equal to the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass because they are the works of men; but
the Mass is the work of God. Martyrdom is nothing in com-
parison for it is but the sacrifice of man to God; but the Mass
is the sacrifice of God for man." - St. John Vianney

MENSAJE IMPORTANTE
Las CLASES DE CATECISMO para los niños y
adolescentes son para aquellos que pertenecen a nuestra
parroquia. Uno pertenece a esta parroquia “automáticamente”
si vive en los limites de nuestra área (Vea mapa de abajo).
Sin embargo, si hay alguien que vive fuera de los límites de
la parroquia y quiere ser parte de nuestros PROGRAMAS
DE CATECISMO, ya deben ser miembros registrados que
usan sus sobres dominicales. No aceptamos en nuestro
PROGRAMA DE CATECISMO a quienes viven fuera de
nuestros límites y que no se han registrado, no usan sus sobres,
y no son feligreses activos de Santos Inocentes.
Para registrarse como miembro activo de la parroquia
infórmese en la oficina de la rectoría durante las horas regulares
de servicio.
