As we resume our public Masses at phase 1 of the COVID-19 pandemic we must observe certain guidelines. Therefore, in order to serve our community better and work with the best logistic possible, we would like for you to call the parish office 479-524-8526 if you are planning to participate in the weekend Masses. At this point we can only make use of 14 pews. Our dispensation for Sunday Mass is still being granted by our Bishop indefinitely. If we runout of our lim-ited space due to required 6 ’physical dis-tancing, you may try to attend some of our weekday Masses as an option. Please make sure to review some of the guidelines for attending Mass, such as wearing a mask to cover your mouth and nose, sanitizing your hands as you come in, avoid attendance if you do not feel well or have been exposed to someone who test-ed positive for COVID-19, etc. Upon your arrival our ushers will take you to your seat. So please follow their instructions. Thanks for your understanding during these chal-lenging times.

Next week, we will take up the Peter’s Pence Collection, which provides Pope Francis with the funds to carry out his charitable works around the world. The proceeds ben-efit our brothers and sisters on the margins of society, including victims of war, oppres-sion, and disasters. Please be generous. For more information, visit www.usccb.org/peters-pence.

Drivers Needed for OCA Ozark Catholic Academy High School in Tonti-town is looking for part-time drivers for both school vans and a bus during the school year. Bus driver would need a CDL license. If you are interested in the different routes and times available and would like more information, please contact Brendan Wiley at 479-692-1671 or email him at brendan.wiley@ozarkcatholic.org.

Now that we are having Mass in the church, we are following all the safety precautions from Bishop Anthony Taylor. Phase I Restrictions: • Come to Mass wearing masks: All Partici-pants, including children over 10 years of age, must wear masks or other covering of their mouth and nose. • If you signed up to come to Come to church early: We can only provide seats for 25% of the church capacity. • Do not give the sign of peace by hand. • Holy Communion will be one specie only: the Body of Christ. • Holy Communion will not be distributed on the tongue. • There won’t be blessings for those who don’t receive Holy Communion: If you can’t receive Holy Communion, please do not go in the line to the altar. • Respect the 6ft. distance. • Please listen and respect the directions and guidelines from the ushers: The ushers have been trained by Father Salvador with all the requirements from the Diocese of Little Rock.

• If you are sick, or you don’t feel well, or you think that you were close to someone that was positive with COVID-19, please stay home.

The Sunday Mass obligation remains sus-pended indefinitely for all people, not only for those who cannot attend due to a parish’s crowd-reduction measures. Even so, all people remain obligated to “keep the Lord’s Day Holy”, which they can do in any of a large variety of ways, including the fol-lowing: • Sunday participation in Mass can be live streamed, or with TV-active participation, not just passive viewing. • Attending weekday Mass in lieu of Sun-day when Sunday Mass in unavailable. • Private prayer for an hour- which is the amount of time you would have spent at Mass, mediating on Scripture readings for the Sunday Mass, praying the Rosary, the Liturgy of the Hours, novena prayers, etc.

14th Sunday in Ordinary Time We are all familiar with the refrain, “You have put on Christ. In him you have been baptized. Alleluia, alleluia!” In Bap-tism, we “put on” Christ. In putting on Christ, we put on all that Christ is and represents: hope, faith, and love. We are no longer bound to the sins and failures of the flesh, that part of us that resists God and relies ex-clusively on human means. It also means that we are not in debt to our past, com-plete with its sins, failures, regrets, fears, and unfulfilled dreams. There is always hope. In putting on Christ, we put on God’s vision for the world, for all of His children and for us. We have been given a road map to guide our paths and a blueprint to follow for our life’s journey. There is no need for regret, and we are not tethered to our past. Is there any-thing in your past that you regret? Any de-cision or memory that continues to haunt you? We have all made mistakes, and we have this uncanny ability to continue beat-ing ourselves up over things we can no longer do anything about, except learn from them. To put on Christ means that I can now bring God’s unconditional love to my hurtful memories and sinful choices. With each new moment and every new choice, I can start clean and live in free-dom. Imagine adults when the disciples were preaching and baptizing. They came to baptism not really knowing who they were, with pasts that were broken, seeking to live the joy of the Gospel they heard spo-ken to them and wanting the love they saw witnessed in the lives of those who be-lieved. What tremendous celebrations their baptisms must have been! They could now have the support of a community, full par-ticipation in the sacraments of the church, focus for their disordered lives, consolation, healing, and an understanding of what life is really all about. Our lives are meant to be celebra-tions of the Spirit we have received in Bap-tism. How does that joy get expressed in and through you? When we truly under-stand that we have put on Christ, our bur-dens can become much lighter. It is odd that so many Christians look like they are carrying the weight of the world on their

s h o u l d e r s . Wouldn’t it be wonder-ful if those w e i g h t s could be lift-ed and joy e x p e r i -enced!

SCAM ALERTS Recently, another round of SCAM E-MAILS has gone out impersonating Fr. Salvador Marquez, Bishop Taylor & others Priests in our community. These scam emails use a fake “gmail” account and even include a picture of him. One of these is particularly insidious, since it references a priest being diagnosed with COVID-19 (which is false), in an attempt to scare the recipient into thinking that Fr. Salvador needs immediate financial help. It should go without saying that Fr. Salvador will NEVER contact anyone per-sonally asking for gift cards, money, or other financial assistance. Please do not respond to any such emails; delete them immediately.
