First Sunday of Lent A covenant is a formal agreement between two parties. Assuming both parties enter into the covenant of their own free will, it is a bond that cannot be broken. As time goes on, that covenant will be tested and its validity questioned by skeptics, but it will remain if it is real. God's covenant with his people is real. It began with a promise made to Noah and was renewed in the person of Jesus Christ. It has been tested by man through sin and by evil through Jesus' trials in the desert. But here in 2020, it still remains as strong as ever. This Lent, take time to rediscover and reflect on this covenant God has with us. Reclaim your baptism and make it a motivating factor in how you live your life. Take the opportunity this Lenten season provides to increase your devotion and spirituality. You will be test- ed and you will suffer trials, for life is not always easy. But God has always upheld his part of the agreement. Now is the time to take our part in this covenant more seriously.
We, the Sacred Heart Community, welcome all our visitors and friends to our Worship and our Liturgical Celebrations. We are glad that you are here with us today. If you would like to join our church, or want to know more about our Parish, please call (256) 734-3730, or stop by the Parish office.
Mission Statement Sacred Heart Parish is a Catholic Faith Community coming to- gether to know, love and serve God. Some Things Never Change Gene Tunney was the world heavyweight boxing champion from 1926-1928. This is a true event from his life… a courageous true event from his life. In a midwestern city, a group of businessmen were entertaining Tunney at a dinner at which he was the keynote speaker. After the meal several women came out to put on a floor show that was indecent. They didn’t get far into their number when Tunney, who was trained from childhood in the high standards of Catholic modesty, made up his mind to do one thing—his duty. Rising from his seat at the speakers’ table, he simply said, “Gentlemen, I don’t care for this kind of show. I find it indecent and offen- sive. You’ll have to excuse me.” You could have heard a pin drop, as the silence was deafening. Tunney walked quickly from the room with every eye on him. Soon other chairs began to scoot back as one man after another began to get up to leave behind him. Finally, the half-dressed dancers rushed out in shame. Gene Tunney fought many a battle in World War I and in the boxing ring, but he never fought a braver fight than this. Indecent enter- tainment in the form of books, videos and television, and immodest dress lower the ideals and twist the standards of Catholic men and women. The most precious thing in your soul is your purity, but most Catholics today pay little attention to little things like purity and modesty. Did you pick up on the contrast between the standards from the 1920s and the standards of today? I’ve seen my share of burlesque pic- tures from the golden age of Vaudeville in the ‘20s, and what was considered immodest then is common today. What’s happened? St. Paul wrote, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). The 13th chapter of Hebrews is the last chapter of that book. Throughout the previous twelve chapters, Paul wrote about the Catholic priesthood and Jesus’ divinity. Let’s fo- cus for a moment on His divinity. Jesus is God, the second Person of the Holy Trinity. That’s a dogma of faith. God is perfect. That’s a dogma of faith. Something that’s perfect can’t change. If it could, it wouldn’t have been perfect in the first place. This is why Paul says of Jesus that He’s the same yes- terday (from all eternity), today, and forever (into all eternity). Therefore, His laws and teachings must remain the same forever; since He can’t change, He can’t, say, later change His mind. So when did Jesus change His teachings on sexual morality and modesty, which is covered by sexual morality? Short answer: He did- n’t! Because Jesus is the same forever, so are His teachings on modesty. The teachings on modesty are the very same today as when Jesus established the Catholic Church 2000 years ago, and when the Father gave us the Ten Commandments 5000 years ago. With these things in mind, I have to ask why modern day Catholics act like the standards for modesty have changed? I don’t have any idea what the state of anyone’s soul is, and I don’t want to. I’m not in the business of judging anyone’s soul. That’s God’s job. But I can be a fruit inspector; I can judge the fruits of souls from what I see and hear. Based on what I see, hear and read, I can get a pretty good idea of how seriously Catholics take our holy and ancient faith. There’s no such thing in the modern world as privacy, and there’s always some organization out there that wants to violate your priva- cy by asking you things that aren’t any of that entity’s business in the first place. What really amazes me about this nosiness is that when people are surveyed or polled, they expose themselves figuratively like a pervert exposes himself literally. However, those sur- veys and polls are helpful in this case. Did you know that 99% of Catholics who get a divorce admit to using contraceptives? Did you know that nearly 70% of Catholic men regularly view pornography? And here are some things you don’t need a survey for: modern dress is, more often than not, immodest (especially for women and teenage girls), we regularly watch movies and TV shows that are immodest at best (producers wouldn’t make them if they weren’t watched), and we pay more attention to “style” than God’s laws. Let’s just get really frank here. Like you, I go to Sunday Mass. I can’t walk to Communion anymore, but when I could I’d have to do so with my eyes averted from the person in front of me, because that person was usually a woman with a dress so short or pants so tight that nothing was left to the imagination. That’s immodest. That’s immoral. All too often, when a woman at church wants to speak to me, I have to avert my eyes again. Why? Cleavage, ladies, you’re showing too much cleavage. Why do you do that? Do you want men to objectify you and lust after you? Maybe you just want their company in hell? I’m not letting you guys off the hook. Fellas, try being a man (esto vir) in your home. For 2000 years, the Catholic Church has always taught (even if you don’t hear it today) that you are the head of your household—the head of your family. It’s very difficult for anyone to respect a man who would allow his wife or daughters to dress immodestly. In case you’ve never thought about it, a pimp makes the women working for him dress immodestly so he can more easily sell their services. I’m just saying. Most of you know I host weekly webinars online. In the Sharing the Catholic Faith series, I have one called Sexual Purity In a Sex- Saturated Culture. This particular webinar is always the most heavily attended. Why? Because sex sells, and everyone is curious about anything pertaining to sex. While I’m glad that this webinar is heavily attended, the curiosity that drives that attendance is dangerous. Folks, Our Lady of Fatima told us that more people go to hell for violations of the 6th and 9th Commandments than anything else, and Jesus let us know that far more people go to hell than go to heaven. Heaven after death isn’t automatic; it’s not even probable. Think. Two popular rock songs sum it up real well. If there’s a Highway to Hell, but only a Stairway to Heaven, what does that say about anticipated traffic numbers? Get serious with God and our faith. You’d be doing yourself a big favor to visit JoeSixpackAnswers.com and sign up for the free email course and begin attending the free webinars I host every week. © Cassock Media #195
