REFLECTIONS FOR THE WEEK
Prayer is talking with God and listening to God in our hearts. Where do you talk to God and how do you listen to what God says to you?
Jesus teaches us how important it is to pray. How
do you ask God for what you need? How do you listen for his response?
Jesus teaches us how to pray. When this past week
did you take the time to pray, to talk to and listen to God?

53RD SUNDAY APPEAL DRAWING WINNERS Jose & Betty Olivencia, Ken & Beth Morton and Madeline Rocha are our
lucky winners in the 53rd Sunday Appeal drawing. They each won a $100
gift card to Hy-Vee. Thank you to everyone for your support. We had a
very successful response! Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Last week I wrote about three types of “health”; physical, mental and spiritual. I said that all three come together under “Holistic Health”. I also
said that I would address aspects of all three in the weeks ahead.
Today I am excited about a workshop that Sacred Heart Parish is putting together that will address all “three aspects of Holistic Health” I wrote
about last week. Sal Salgado, long time Sacred Heart parishioner came to see me, along with Bill Wieland, Knights of Columbus President, to
discuss a two hour workshop based on Sal’s A.R.T. program. A.R.T. stands for Awareness, Release, and Transformation. Sal is a popular image
consultant, television personality, counselor and speaker. Through the national Look Good, Feel Better program, Sal helps recovering cancer
patients navigate the journey through the healing process. His presentations for all audiences combine practical tips on building image, self-
confidence and self-worth. And thanks to his own A.R.T. program, his presentations help everyone look and feel their best for greater success at
home and at work. He would like to share his insights to Sacred Heart as a way of giving to the parish. His workshop will include Sal’s presentation,
plus a nutritionist and a physical fitness expert. Please mark Tuesday, Sept. 27 from 6:30 -0 8:30 on your calendar. The Knights of Columbus will
be sponsoring the event. If you have any questions please contact me at the parish office or email me at [email protected].
A ministry close to my heart is spiritual healing. A good book I just read is Remembering God’s Mercy: Redeem the Past and Free Yourself from Painful Memories by Dawn Eden. I have 3 copies in my office if anyone would like to borrow and/or discuss. Just contact me and I would be glad
to loan out.
ADORATION Sacred Heart Parish continues to have Adoration
every First Tuesday of the month. The Exposition
of the Blessed Sacrament will occur after 8:00 am
Mass & reposition will be at 7:00 pm. Our next opportunity for Adoration will be Tuesday, August 2nd. You are welcome to stop in anytime from 8:00
am to 7:00 pm. Please use the North Church
Doors - the other doors will be locked. In the
event of a funeral, Adoration will be suspended for
the duration of the funeral and will resume after the funeral for the
remainder of the day. For more information, visit the Sacred Heart
website under “worship”.

Did You Know ?
Habitat’s vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
With the recent housing crisis and availability of vacant homes, many
Habitat affiliates are doing more home rehabilitations, including owner-
occupied critical repairs, weatherization and exterior home
preservation services for homeowners in need.
Habitat follows a nondiscriminatory policy of family selection. Neither
race nor religion is a factor in choosing partner families. Partner
families are always selected based on their level of need, ability to pay
and willingness to partner.
Decisions regarding who will be approved for a home mortgage with
Habitat are based on three criteria:
The family’s ability to repay a no-profit mortgage.
The family’s need for safe, decent affordable housing.
The family’s willingness to partner with their local affiliate.
"But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved
with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim,
poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them.
Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an
inn, and cared for him." - Lk 10:33-34

AROUND THE DIOCESE
ST. JOSEPH BLUE & GOLD GALA Please join us for the Inaugural St. Joseph’s Blue and Gold Gala. It
will be held on Saturday, October 8th at 6:00 pm at the Embassy
Suites Downtown. This black tie event will feature a meal, silent
auction and dancing with a live band. With much work and
dedication, Saint Joseph opened its doors to 95 students in the fall
of 1949. Today we serve a diverse population of nearly 270
students from preschool through 8th grade. We continue to be the
only Catholic Parish school on the east side. Students come from
Des Moines, Altoona, Pleasant Hill, Ankeny, Elkhart and Colfax for
the quality education and family based environment St. Joseph
offers. The proposed St. Joseph Catholic School Addition and
Renovation is designed to support the success of students, recruit
additional families and make the facilities accessible.
“We plan for generations of children we will never know…and plant
trees under whose shade we will never sit.”
Thank you for considering an investment in this special project that
will positively impact our community.

JUBILEE OF MERCY Pope Francis called on God to pour out his mercy upon us “like the morning dew, so that everyone may work together to build a
brighter future.” What images come to mind when you think of morning dew? Of a fresh day? Of newness? Could there be a
parallel with baptism?

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Hailey Liston is a Sacred Heart
parishioner who recently graduated from
Northwest Missouri State University and
accepted a full-time position as a
Missionary with the Fellowship of
Catholic University Students (FOCUS)
and will be serving at the University of
Tulsa in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the fall.
"FOCUS is a campus outreach that
pursues college students with
intentionality and love. We invite them into a growing relationship with
Jesus and the Catholic faith, inspiring and equipping them for a
lifetime of Christ-centered evangelization, discipleship and friendship
in which they can lead others to do the same.
I'm incredibly excited to share with the students of Tulsa how Christ
has impacted my life and how He can impact theirs if they allow Him
in! Preparing for campus, I am making it a goal to share with the
Sacred Heart family how God has called me higher, my resistance at
first, and then my loud and joyous 'YES'! So, please, do not be afraid
to call me and I would love to meet up and share my story so you could
hopefully be touched by it or share it with others as well!
I have just a couple of short weeks left here in Des Moines before
having to report on mission in Tulsa. Feel free to contact me from my
information below and show your support by meeting up or sharing any
prayer intentions that I can prayerfully send to the Lord in my daily
prayer!
St. Joseph The Worker, pray for me!

Food Prize week. Taking place on the second Sunday each October,
the Hunger Hike serves as a visible witness to the concern about
hunger, both locally and globally. Hundreds of people of all ages, a
coalition of institutions, organizations, denominations, and faiths
gather to “walk that more may eat.”
Since 1969, Hikers have raised over 1 million dollars to help alleviate
the problem of hunger in our community and abroad. Donations are
distributed among nonprofit agencies and programs that provide food
to those in need. Over 96% of funds are allocated for food purposes,
with less than 4% covering the required insurance, publicity and
postage expenses.
To participate in the Hunger Hike on October 9, request a packet by
emailing [email protected] and begin collecting
donations. Online donations may be made at desmoineshungerhike.org.
Like us on Facebook at facebook.com/desmoineshungerhike.
Looking for ways to volunteer? We have many ways to participate in
the Hunger Hike, such as serving as a guide along the route or helping
hand out food and drink at the end of the Hike. Please let us know if
you are available to help some way on Hike Day!

Oración de Católicos Regresando a Casa
O Dios de misericordia y compasión, Te damos gracias por el regalo de
la fe.
Conforme comenzamos ésta iniciativa de Católicos Regresando a
Casa, Manda el Espíritu Santo sobre tus parroquias para renovarnos
en fe y amor de ti, el autor de vida.

Amor y perdón del Padre,
Con palabras amorosas y obras de cariño, Para que Católicos que
regresan puedan ser atraídos a tu Iglesia,
Sentirse parte de la familia Católica, Profundizar su fe por su
participación en los sacramentos y vida parroquial, y seguir el camino
de Tu Hijo, Jesús,

Porque tenemos tantos conflictos en nuestra
vida? Los conflictos estan presentes en cada
momento de nuestra vida : en nuestra casa,
escuela, trabajo, en la comunidad, en la iglesia, y
en la sociedad. Vivir sin conflictos suena de
alguana manera imposible; porque ellos forman
parte de nuestra vida. Algunas veces los
conflictos son parte de nuestro proceso de
conversion.
En los evangelios vemos como Jesus tiene algunos
conflictos con las auotoridades religiosas. Por
ejemplo en el evangelio de san Mateo
encontramos que Jesus tiene un conflicto con los
fariseos porque estan muy apegados a la ley. Una
ley que para Jesus es algo de la boca para fuera. Jesus no encuentra
sinceridad de corazon en esas palabras. Jesus condena esta actitud porque
par las autoridades civiles de su tiempo, Dios es aquel que juzga y condena a
aquellos que no siguen la ley al pie de la letra. Jesus , sin embargo; les da a
conocer a un Dios de misericordia, que perdona, y que ama.
Mis queridos hermanos vivimos en un mundo dividido por los problemas y
conflictos. Vivimos y formamos parte de una sociedad que no escuha la
palabra de Dios. Yo los exhorto a que no sigamos la ensenanzas del mundo;
mas bien les invito a que practiquen la misericordia.
