Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church
Hot Springs Village, Arkansas
In about a week, we will conclude our "Little White Books" for the Easter season.  They have been a great way to connect with the Lord through scripture and reflection and learn some things about the Church of Bible that you didn't know.

I am pleased that over 100 parishioners or families have recognized how good it is to stay connected to the Lord daily (and throughout the entire year) and have done so by being part of our bulk subscription to "Give Us This Day."  For only $20 a year (a savings of 50% since we get it in bulk), you can get each month's edition and know you are getting a different, short morning and evening prayer for each day, the scripture readings that are proclaimed at Mass each day, and wonderful reflections from a variety of different people from clergy to laity, to saints of the past.  There are also short two-page reflections at the start of each week which are informative and inspirational.  The week's two-page reflection was penned by the former Abbot of Subiaco (here in Arkansas), Father Jerome Kodell, a noted scripture scholar who last visited us before our parish day of recollection.

If you are interested in joining in the bulk subscription which begins a new year's worth with the July issue, either stop by the Office and leave your money and name with Linda, or pay your $20 (check to Sacred Heart Church or cash) or sign-up and pay your money in the narthex over the next few weeks.

Even if you don't do all that's available in this monthly booklet, you will certainly benefit from what you do read and from the prayers that are found (some in the front that are unique each month) in this wonderful spiritual aid.  I would love to see our number of subscribers rise, and rise significantly in this new cycle.  Please consider being one of them or continuing if you have already been a subscriber.
