FROM THE PASTOR
As we progress through the month of June, a month traditionally devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, it seems like a good chance for us to reflect on what the traditional devotion is really all about.

At the same time, though, if we want to receive Jesus’ mercy, we need the humility to seek out His forgiveness and turn away from sin. And, we live in a culture that tends to devalue, if not despise, the admission of imperfection.

I realize that I’ve begun a path of reflection that will probably be offensive to secular ears, it’s one that I think is necessary if we want to continue to grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ. So, perhaps because of my own pride, I think we should go ‘hard in the paint’ when it comes to cultivation the virtue (and grace) of humility in our own lives.
Before we dive more deeply into the importance of humility in the spiritual life, It seems to me that it’s good to know why … (click here for more).

********************
The Chosen is an artistic portrayal of the life of Jesus and the Apostles. As “The Passion of the Christ”, the creators of this series attempt to show how things might have been if we had been there … using the art of cinematography. It is worth watching, but with the idea that not all of the words, actions, or ideas presented are known to be true. Consider it like looking at a work of art attempting to portray the parable of The Prodigal Son. As we watch “The Chosen,” we turn to prayer and the Gospels for “the truth” but realize the lives of those portrayed must have been amazing! Here is a video where Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie attempt to describe the series and faith and their relationship:
