BOOK CLUB NOTES E-BLAST MARCH 2019 We just want to share some things we discussed at Book Club in February. The Book Club is currently reading “The Screwtape Letters” by C.S. Lewis. Here are some thoughts on The Screwtape Letters 14-19. That true humility is recognizing our gifts and talents as exactly what they are and being grateful for them. And also recognizing that everyone has gifts and talents and being charitably grateful for others’ talents. All vices are rooted in the future. Gratitude looks to the past and love to the present; fear, avarice, lust, and ambition look to the future. We tend to think of gluttony as being greedy and overeating, but the devil also tempts us to gluttony of delicacy. That is, the devil tempts us to only want what we are used to hav- ing. The devil tempts us to be discontent if our host didn’t cook the food exactly how we do or doesn’t serve the same vegetables or condiments we normally use. He robs us of the pleasure we could be experiencing when we eat. Then the devil uses our habitual discontentment with food (which is not prepared to our specific liking) to weaken our wills and bring us to other temptations. He also uses our habitual discontentment to be less than charitable with our neighbors because we are so distracted by thinking about ourselves. The devil is delighted when he can get us to think that being in love (romantic love)” is the only respectable ground for marriage; that marriage can, and ought to, render this ex- citement permanent, and that a marriage which does not do so is no longer binding. ______________________________________________________________________ Book Club meets at 7pm on the second and fourth Thursday of the month. The purpose of The Book Club is to have fun sharing ideas with fellow Christians. At our next meetings we will be discussing The Screwtape Letters numbers 20-25 (Feb. 28) and Letters 26-31 (March 14). You are welcome to join us at any time, especially since each letter stands on its own (you don’t have to catch-up). At the next two meetings (2/28 and 3/14) we will be deciding what book we want to read next. Come join us and help pick our next book. St Dominic Church, 440 E.

WAYS TO PRAYER E-BLAST MARCH 2019 Divine Mercy Devotions From the Diary of a young Polish nun, named Sr. Faustina Kowalska, came the message of a special devotion to the mercy of God. The message is nothing new of course, just a reminder of what the Church has always taught: that God is merciful and forgiving and we too must show mercy and forgiveness. But in the Divine Mercy Devotion, the message takes on a powerful new focus, calling people to a deep- er understanding that God’s love is unlimited and available to everyone -especially the greatest sinner. Some elements of this new focus include: A sacred image of the merciful Savior The Feast Of Divine Mercy on the Sunday after Easter The Novena to the Divine Mercy The Chaplet of Divine Mercy Prayer at the Hour Of Great Mercy- 3:00 PM Pause at this time for a brief moment to think of Christ’s total abandonment at his hour of agony and say a short prayer such as Jesus, mercy. Be merciful to others such as performing the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. There is a special emphasis on praying for the dying and those who have died. The Eucharist and Sacrament of Penance are central to the Devotion of Divine Mercy. Complete trust in Christ’s mercy The Chaplet of Divine Mercy can be said at any time. Begin by making the Sign of the Cross, and saying one Our Father, one Hail Mary and The Apostles Creed. Using the rosary, on the bead for the Our Father say : Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world. On the 10 Hail Mary beads say: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. ( Repeat step 2 and 3 for all five rosary decades). Conclude by saying three times: Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world and after that, three times: Jesus I trust in You. For more information on The Divine Mercy Devotions see thedivinemercy.org St Dominic Church, 440 E. Briarcliff Road, Bolingbrook, IL 60440; Tel: 630-759-5703; www.stdominiccc.org
PRAYER FOR PRIESTS E-BLAST MARCH 2019 At this moment many of us in the pews are feeling hurt, disgusted and angry at the news that some of our clergy have failed to honor their vows of chastity and have abused our trust in their commit- ment to God and his Church. This is a time to remember the clergy who have kept their promise to God and the Church. Thank God for their faithful service and please pray for them because they too are hurt, angry and disgusted. As the gospel song says: When the saints go out to worship the King of Glory will come in. - Prayer for Priests submitted by Marilyn Little Vultus Christi Prayer by Dom Mark Kirby, Benedictine Monk Oh my beloved Jesus, I bring Thee the poverty of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst enrich them. I bring Thee the emptiness of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst fill them. I bring Thee the coldness of Thy Priests, that Thou wouldst warm them. I bring Thee the loneliness of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst embrace them. I bring Thee the sorrows of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst console them. I bring Thee the illnesses of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst heal them. I bring Thee the impurities of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst wash them clean. I bring Thee the nakedness of Thy Priests, that Thou wouldst clothe them. I bring Thee the silence of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst speak to them. I bring Thee the brokenness of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst repair them. I bring Thee the infirmities of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst heal them. I bring Thee the nothingness of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst be their all. I bring Thee the darkness of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst illuminate them. I bring Thee the bitterness of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst give them to taste of Thy sweetness. I bring Thee the struggles of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst be victorious in them. I give Thee the blindness of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst give them clear vision. I bring Thee the weariness of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst be their rest. I bring Thee the thirst of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst quench it. I bring Thee the fears of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst give them confidence. I give Thee the doubts of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst strengthen their faith. I bring Thee the despondency of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst infuse them with hope. I bring Thee the sadness of Thy priests, that Thou wouldst be their joy. I bring Thee all Thy priests, especially those in their last agony, those who are locked in spiritual combat, and those being tempted to sin against faith and against hope. I bring Thee the death of Thy priests that Thou wouldst be their life eternal. I bring Thee all those priests of Thine for whom Thy presence in the Most Holy Sacrament has become a matter of indifference, of routine, and of neglect. Beloved Lord Jesus, have mercy on those priests of Thine whose minds have grown dark, whose hearts have grown cold, and who have succumbed to the enticements of the world, the weariness of the flesh, and the deceits of the devil. Deliver them all, O Jesus, for they are Thine and Thou will not deny Thine own. St Dominic Church, 440 E. Briarcliff Road, Bolingbrook, IL 60440; Tel: 630-759-5703; www.stdominiccc.org

That’s amazing,” said the visitor. “And just how old are you?” “Twenty-six,” the man replied. Barb Kozlowski St Dominic Church, 440 E.

SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS E-BLAST MARCH 2019 RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Formation FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is RCIA? RCIA is a process of study, explo- ration, faith sharing, and faith formation with spe- cific liturgical rites for seekers and inquirers. Seek- Courtesy: www.blessedsacramentnj.org ers and inquirers are non-baptized adults who de- sire to be fully initiated into the Roman Catholic Church and/or baptized adult Christians who de- sire full communion in the Roman Catholic Church by being prepared for Eucharist and Confir- mation. What is meant by conversion? Every individual experiences the conversion process in a differ- ent way. Generally speaking, “conversion” is the process of turning one’s life and energies to God. Conversion is a lifelong process of personal spiritual growth. Do the participants in the RCIA process have to experience this process alone? The par- ticipants are not alone in the process. The initiation of adults is about Christian community. The RCIA community includes a sponsor who is a practicing Catholic who is a friend or family mem- ber of the participant or a parish sponsor assigned by the director. What does the RCIA process look like? The process begins with meeting with the RCIA Coor- dinator or Faith Formation Director. The formal sessions begin in the fall and meet weekly on Sunday mornings. The catechists will discuss sacraments, history of the Church, prayer, Old and New Testament, Christology, Mary and the saints, morality, social justice, and stewardship. Reading materials will be assigned. Participation in the various rituals that take place in church is expected. With the start of the liturgical year (Advent), catechumens and candidates attend Sunday Mass. Can anyone join the RCIA process? Any mature adult. (18 yrs. +) How do I begin the process?

IMPORTANT NOTE E-BLAST MARCH 2019 Check out the new St. Dominic web site at stdominiccc.org Visite nuestro Nuevo sitio web stdominiccc.org St. Dominic E-Mail Blast Monthly Newsletter We would still like to continue this Parish Newsletter Email Blast project. This is a monthly newsletter that would need to be formatted in Publisher. Various leaders in the parish sub- mit articles to be included in the E-Blast and then those arti- cles would be forwarded to the individual who would format them for the E-Blast newsletter. That draft would be sent to a group of editors and then after corrections have been made a parish staff member would forward the newsletter to all of the parishioners who have provided us with their email address. We already have two volunteers Gela Gonzalez and Beryl Davin. With a team of people each person would only have to format the newsletter 2-3 times a year.
