                                          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

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.

                      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

             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. If you have any questions about this event,
             please contact me at Gala@andrewcc.org.

             For information about our school, please visit our school
             website at www.andrewcc.org.

           PASTORAL CARE OF THE SICK
Hospitals do not inform churches when parishioners are
patients. You should ask an immediate family member to
contact the Parish Office to request a visit from a priest        We wish to offer our sympathy and a promise of our prayers
when sickness occurs or death is imminent. Please contact                   to family and friends on the death of:
Barb Sanders to arrange for Communion to be brought to
the sick at home, to a hospital, or nursing home.

          I would like to have my house blessed.
         Please contact me to make arrangements.                            Prayers of the Parish
