Rev. Gregor Gorsic, Pastor (815) 886-4165 ext. 317

My dear family of St. Andrew the Apostle!

What exactly are we looking for, especially in every male-female relationship? A simple, truthful way to answer that question is to say our hearts are searching out the only real thing that matters, that is, God’s love, which is free, unconditionally faithful, universal yet particular, and creatively self-giving. We want to be free yet fully secure, to be “special” yet not imprisoned, to be fruitful with our beloved yet not constrained by our offspring. What we miss is that these qualities are opposites and can only be realized in God. We ALL need deep healing to see that God is also free, and that real fidelity demands freedom. It takes time to discern, most of the time with the needed help of another person, to distinguish what is of God and what is due to another person’s own need for healing. Healing enters our lives when we begin to see that all true authority comes from God and that God’s way is revealed in Jesus. Jesus did not control people but left them free. Our QUEST for GOD is a desire for total self-gift, but if that is identified with sexual expression (exclusively), failure to attain sexual expression will feel like a separation from ultimate love, whereas acting on that desire collides with our state in life. No wonder our “loves” bring such confusion, disillusionment and betrayal of our hopes. When, by God’s grace, the identification of sexual love with divine love is broken, a human person is freed to an individuated, spiritual bonding, a “love of restraint” that is grounded in God. This spiritual love separates us from being determined by lower levels, like sexual drives or emotional needs, even though these still play an important role. This spiritual love frees us to a kind of sacrificial love that, according to Fr. Bob Sears, SJ, is distinguished and described as “individuated relationships.” Remember, Jesus in the New Testament takes up the bridal imagery of the Old Testament as a living analogy for His relation to His Church, His Body (Eph 5,25-33). Both sexual union and union with God are involved in our coming to wholeness and holiness and the release of our creative energies for building up God’s people. You can see then, how the two are therefore connected: the misuse of sexuality is a major cause of infidelity to Yahweh; and the right use of sexuality in marriage and celibacy, on the contrary, is a major help for opening fully to God. Again, as Fr. Sears has written, this confusion between our need for God and our need for one another is perhaps the deepest cause of gender conflict. God is involved in our wholeness and integration of inner masculine and feminine as well as in our call to co-ministry. “Often the ‘stickiness’ of relationships (a ‘falling in love’ or ‘fatal attraction’) is due to a projection of our desire for God or to find ourselves onto finite relationships,” explains Fr. Sears. If we fail to discern when we are looking for a savior or when for our true self in our human friend, only disillusionment and fruitless pain will result. No wonder we love and hate the other at the same time! Let me conclude with an image taken still from the Old Testament, which, as we know, always points to its fulfillment in the New Testament, in particular, to its fulfillment in the life of Jesus and Mary. In the beautiful Book of Tobit, Tobit is a dutiful and faithful Jewish man, but he is also another Job figure, tragic with great sufferings and terrible, devastating mishaps. He goes blind due to a bird’s dung dripping into his eyes once when he was sleeping, he loses his money, he is alienated from his wife. In his despair, he prays, and is inspired to send his son Tobias to a distant relative, Raguel, to get a deserved inheritance, and it so happens that the Archangel Raphael is sent with him as guide. Raguel’s daughter Sarah is also an eligible wife, but she has had seven husbands and all have died on their wedding night because of Asmodeus, an evil spirit possessive of Sarah. On their way, a fish bites Tobias’ foot, and Raphael tells him to keep it because the heart and liver when burned can drive out evil spirits, and the gall of that fish when applied to the eyes can heal cataracts (such as his father’s blindness). And so it turns out! Raguel does give Tobias Sarah as wife after explaining the danger involved, and before they come together, they burn the fish’s liver and heart and so Raphael binds the evil spirit Asmodeus in the North Country. Then, on returning home, Tobias runs the fish’s gall on his father’s eyes and Tobit says, “I see you my son, for the first time!” This story of Tobit and his son Tobias is full of symbolism touching upon the purification of sexual and human love. The heart and liver of the fish need to be burned, purified by fire, as a human being’s unconscious needs to be burned to be freed from distortion of idolized humanity (represented by Asmodeus). Then Sarah and Tobias can come together with a love “that has no lust” but is for God’s honor and glory. Finally, in the end, when Tobit looks at bitterness in the eye, his own blindness is healed through the bitterness of the fish’s gall. Tobit sees with new eyes, just as if we look at Jesus “raised up” as the serpent in the desert, and so we will be saved. Only through the pain of that purification will we love with a holy love, a sacrificial love that puts God first. This Spirit-centered love revealed in Jessu is like God’s love, special, faithful, open to being life-giving to everyone, creative and releasing creativity. Jesus comes as the Bridegroom of the Church, to heal gender wars within and among us. Jesus, Bridegroom of your Church and Bridegroom of each one of our souls, pray for us, and heal us and our whole human family!

In the loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Fr. Gregor

In the Gospel today we would find that Jesus would rise very early before dawn and go to a deserted place to pray and then he went out to preach and to heal.

Please pray for the poor and suffering, knowing that you are bringing the love and peace of Jesus to those who live

in fear and doubt, loneliness and dread.

As in the past, parishes that surpass their goal receive a rebate for the funds raised and paid in excess of their goal. This year, as we previously announced, the rebate percentage was raised for 65% to 70%. Please accept our gratitude and appreciation for all you have done to make this year’s Appeal a success. This year we have received approximately $8.0 million in gifts from over 36,500 donors. This has provided vital resources for the diocese to do the work of God’s Church. Enclosed please find a check in the amount of $7,301.08 for your parish. On behalf of Bishop Conlon, the entire diocesan curia, and all those who benefit from the CMAA, please extend our sincere gratitude to he generous people of St. Andrew the Apostle Parish. Please also extend our appreciation to the volunteers who helped make the Appeal a success this year. Once again, thank you for all you do to support the work being done in the Diocese of Joliet and your parish. Sincerely, Michael Bava Chief Financial Officer

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 contem-plar 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 compren-dió que no ganaba nada mirando a su alrededor en desesperación o hacia el pasado buscando a quien culpar. En cam-bio, miró hacia adelante lleno de esperanza. Él no culpó al enfermo ni al poseído por sus sufrimientos, como hicieron 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 cu-rados de una enfermedad física o no entender la razón del sufrimiento humano, pero recibimos algo mucho más valio-so. Somos sanados de la enfermedad de la desesperación y liberados de los demonios de la culpabilidad y del remor-dimiento. 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.

LENTEN REGULATIONS

1. Everyone 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent.

2. Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 years of age is bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

3. On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted on these two days, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige.

4. To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful.

5. Lent is the principal season of penance in the Christian year. All of the faithful are strongly urged to develop and follow a program of voluntary self-denial (in addition to following the Lenten regulations), serious prayer, and a performance of works of charity and mercy.

A COMMUNITY OF WORD AND SACRAMENT SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION

CATECHUMENATE The Catechumenate is a community which gathers those adults who have not been baptized, and seek deeper insight into the Christian faith.

BAPTISM OF CHILDREN

We joyfully celebrate the baptism of children of Christian households which are joined to our weekly worship, and have active registration in our parish community for at least 3 months. After registration in the parish, please attend an Evening of Awareness, if you have not attended a class in the past two years, to register for Baptism and select a date. Classes are presented on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Baptism is celebrated on the third Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m.

EUCHARIST AND CONFIRMATION

Formation for those coming first to the table of the Lord as children is infused into the efforts of our school and Faith Formation Office. Confirmation formation is a two year process completed in eighth grade. Please call the Faith Formation Office for more information.

SACRAMENTS OF COMMITMENT

MARRIAGE

Marriage preparation is a six month process of prayer, reflection and study. Couples work with both the presider and a sponsor couple through this process. Please note that this six month period of preparation is essential.

ORDERS

Those seeking assistance in discerning a call to ordained ministry are encouraged to call the parish offices.

SACRAMENTS OF HEALING

RECONCILIATION Reconciliation is available each Saturday afternoon, 3:00pm, Wednesday evening, 5:45-6:45pm, through seasonal communal services, and by appointment.

ANOINTING

Anointing of the Sick is offered through seasonal services, and always by request. If hospitalized, please immediately seek anointing from the Catholic chaplain.

I would like to have my house blessed. Please contact me to make arrangements.
