Page Four May 2, 2021 PRAYER FOR THE YEAR OF ST. JOSEPH Holy Saint Joseph, guardian of Jesus Christ, husband of the Blessed Mother and patron of the Catholic Church, we pray to you for guidance this “Year of Saint Joseph” proclaimed by Pope Francis. You have showed us by your loving ways, the value of work and the joys of fatherhood. By teaching God’s Son to do the will of His Father you have given us the path to do the same. By your example, you have encouraged us to accept others as they are, without exception. To you, Saint Joseph, our heavenly Father entrusted his only Son, Jesus Christ, to your tender care and upbringing. In you, our Blessed Mother Mary placed her love and trust. Through your mentoring, Jesus Christ became man. We praise you and ask of you to defend us and our loved ones from every evil and guide us with your grace and mercy. --AMEN Pray the Rosary in the Month of May In this month of May, I would like to recall the importance and beauty of the prayer of the holy rosary. Reciting the Hail Mary, we are led to contemplate the mysteries of Jesus, that is, to reflect on the key moments of his life, so that, as with Mary and St. Joseph, he is the center of our thoughts, of our attention, and our actions. It would be nice if, especially in this month of May, we could pray the holy rosary together in the family, with friends, in the parish, or some prayer to Jesus and the Virgin Mary! -POPE FRANCIS FIRST FRIDAY DEVOTION Our Lord appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alocoque (1647-1690) a French nun in the Visita on Order.

Page Five May 2, 2021 The Society of St. Vincent dePaul St. Andrew the Apostle Chapter Is there a family you know that needs assistance? Please have them call or email: Help Line: 815-886-4165 or email stvincentdepaul@andrewcc.org In the Gospel today, Jesus says, “Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.” Indeed, by helping the poor we can “bear much fruit” and we find that with Jesus we can do everything. Your gift to the Society of St. Vincent DePaul will show that you are indeed the disciple of Jesus as it will bring your love to those who live in fear and doubt, loneliness and dread.

Ramona Tagle Hispanic@andrewcc.org 815-886-4165 Ext. 305 MAYO 2, 2021 INTENCION DE MISA Miguel Chávez Y Todo la Almas de Purgatorio, Sra. Vilma Hinostroza Aquino, Dimas Hernandez Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario ¡AY DE MÍ! Con frecuencia pensamos en los problemas en nuestra vida y clamamos: “¡Ay de mí!” Como Job podemos mirar a nuestro derredor con desesperación al contemplar la miseria del mundo. Como los amigos de Job, podemos mirar hacia atrás buscando algo o a alguien a quien culpar por nuestros sufrimientos. Podemos decidir que Dios, o nosotros mismos, somos los culpables. El Evangelio de hoy nos ofrece una perspectiva diferente de nuestros sufrimientos terrenales. Jesús com- prendió que no ganaba nada mirando a su alrededor en desesperación o hacia el pasado buscando a quien culpar. En cambio, miró hacia adelante lleno de esperanza. Él no culpó al enfermo ni al poseído por sus sufrimientos, como hici- eron muchos otros. Y él no perdió la esperanza, aunque sabía que no podía curar todas las enfermedades del mundo. Jesús ni trató de eliminar el sufrimiento humano ni de explicarlo. Simplemente hizo el bien que pudo en el tiempo que tuvo. ¡AY DE MÍ SI NO LO PREDICO! Por sobre todo, Jesús se mantuvo predicando la Buena Nueva del Reino de Dios, una realidad espiritual que triunfa sobre cualquier sufrimiento. Éste fue su propósito. Cuando creemos en esta buena noticia podemos no ser curados de una enfermedad física o no entender la razón del sufrimiento humano, pero recibimos algo mucho más valioso. Somos sanados de la enfermedad de la desesperación y liberados de los demonios de la culpabilidad y del remordimiento. El Espíritu nos da la energía para hacer tanto bien como podemos en el tiempo que tenemos. Como Pablo queremos que todos conozcan el poder sanador y liberador del Reino de Dios. Hasta podríamos comenzar a decir “¡Ay de mí si no predico” el Evangelio! Las Sagradas Escrituras hoy nos animan a mirar hacia adelante con esperanza, a hacer lo que podemos, y a predicar la buena nueva del reino de Dios Bienvenido, extendemos nuestras mano y corazones en la fe Cristiana a usted aquí celebrando con nosotros, sea residente de mucho tiem- po o nuevo a la parroquia.

Page Seven May 2, 2021 The School Advisory Council is looking for donations for our upcoming Annual School Gala, scheduled for Saturday, June 26, 2021 6 p.m., at our school. It is our hope that this year’s event will raise vital funds needed for STEM equipment, curriculum updates, and educational resources. We anticipate 200 St. Andrew school parents, parishioners, and Romeoville residents will be in attendance for this event. It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider a tax-deductible donation to be used for our Silent or Live Auction. In the past we have received donations such as toys, gift certificates, wine baskets, theme park tickets, oil paintings and even a puppy. On behalf of Father Maciej, our Pastor, Mrs. Albreski, our principal, the students, school parents and faculty of St. Andrew the Apostle, we thank you for your time and consideration.
