To go on pilgrimage is not simply to visit a place to admire its treasures of nature, art or history.
To go on pilgrimage really means to step out of ourselves in order to encounter God where he has revealed himself, where his grace has shone with particular splendour and produced rich fruits of conversion and holiness among those who believe.
Join us on this pilgrimage to the Holy Land, to the places associated with the Lord’s passion, death and resurrection. Visit www.myfaithjourneys/login Group # 20016

Our Annual Mass of Inclusion is coming
April 27 at 5:30pm
While welcome inclusion is our gospel intent and disposition, this liturgy celebrates that vision and demonstrates beautifully what is not only possible but necessary when we proclaim the dignity and worth of every person and the one body in Christ.
We invite people living with disabilities of all ages to participate in various ministries at the Mass, including greeters, readers, singers, altar servers and gift bearers. All of these can be done with a ‘buddy’ or family member as you like.
And we witness the beauty of the sacraments made accessible to all, for every person has the capacity to experience God’s love.
God has a beautiful plan. In this plan, everyone counts. There is room for all of us. Everyone belongs!
Join us in celebrating the liturgy with no barriers, as one body of Christ.
What a beautiful and wondrous gift to know God’s creative and loving power is at work in each of us. Whatever our gifts, we can offer them in love and we can simply be there for one another.
If you would like to serve at this mass in some capacity, or receive the sacraments, please contact Maria Nagy 703-203-5668 or email Dotti Hulburt dcm@sacredheartcor.org
That was absolutely beautiful. I appreciate the great effort, the transparency that these families have in sharing their story, and the love Sacred Heart and many other parishes have where “ALL ARE WELCOME “

Artwork in the Church of St. Joseph, built on the site of the carpentry shop of St. Joseph, Nazareth. A quote from Pope Francis: “St. Joseph’s mission is certainly unique and unrepeatable, as Jesus is absolutely unique. However, in protecting Jesus, in teaching him how to grow in age, wisdom and grace, he is a model for every educator, and in particular for every father. … I ask for you the grace to be every closer to your children, allow them to grow, but be close, close! They need you, your presence, your closeness, your love. Be, for them, like St. Joseph: protectors of their growth in age, wisdom and grace.”
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament this Wednesday and Thursday will begin at 10AM. Benediction… https://t.co/l4C6IliboK
In the Cross our hope is reborn. Hope born of the Cross is different from that of the world, because it is born of the love of Jesus.
The Christian who does not feel that the Virgin Mary is his or her mother is an orphan.
From the cross, Christ teaches us to love even those who do not love us.
God’s love is unbounded: it has no limits!
When we do not adore God, we adore something else. Money and power are false idols which often take the place of God.

The great threat in today’s world is the loneliness of hearts oppressed by greed.
