The Nicene Creed

I believe in one God,

the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made, consubstantial with

the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

[All bow their heads, at the following

text ]

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of

the Virgin Mary, and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under

Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the

Father.

He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord,

the giver of life, who proceeds from the

Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is

adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and

apostolic Church.

I confess one Baptism for the

forgiveness of sins and I look forward

to the resurrection of the dead and the

life of the world to come. Amen.

Prayer before receiving Holy Communion (said quietly)

My God, help me to make a good Communion. Mary, my dearest Mother, pray to Jesus for me. My dear

Guardian Angel, lead me to the altar of God. Jesus, I believe that I shall receive your Sacred Body and Blood

in the Host, I believe this with all my heart. Amen.

Prayer after Holy Communion (said quietly)

Jesus, I thank you with all my heart for coming to me and inviting me to be at this Holy Sacrifice of the

Mass. Grant that I may not forget the grace of this beautiful moment; let me remember during this day that

you are living with me. May I spend each day of my life becoming more and more like you and offer to you

all my work or studies; and all my chores with joy. Amen.

1. Amazing grace!

How sweet the sound

That saved *a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

Was blind but now I see.

2. ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed!

3. The Lord has promised good to me,

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures.

4. Through many dangers, toils and snares,

I have already come;

‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.

5. When we’ve been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Than when we'd first begun.

Text: CM; verses 1–4, John Newton, 1725–1807; verse 5, anon.,

from Collection of Sacred Ballads, 1790.

Hail, Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our

sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor

banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our

sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears!

Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of

mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us

the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving,

O sweet Virgin Mary.

V/: Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

R/: That we may be made worthy of the promises of

Christ.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.

Be our defense against the wickedness and

snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we

humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the

heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell

Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world

seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. 7

A Journey of Hope and Healing for Those

Suffering the Effects of Abortion

•Project Rachel is a sensitive, private, free and confidential

experience with a network of specially trained priests and

caring people who understand the painful road back from

abortion. It is open to Catholics and those of other faiths.

How does Project Rachel work?

•Call the Project Rachel hotline, 312.337.1962; or

888.456.HOPE. A counselor will take the call, guiding the

woman or man suffering from abortion through the

initial steps on the road to healing.

GIVE GOD THE GLORY

A curious feature of the first half of Mark's Gospel is the pattern of Jesus working a miracle, then telling the

recipient of the miracle to keep still about it. Many theories have been offered: Mark is setting the stage for

the great "secret" revealed when Peter will proclaim Jesus the Messiah at Caesarea Philippi; more skeptical

commentators offer that Jesus, fully aware of human nature, knew that the way to spread the news was to tell

people to keep it secret. The insight into this secret-keeping that serves us well, however, is that Jesus was

initiating his public ministry according to the pattern that Paul describes. He was doing it for the glory of

God--not for his own benefit, but for that of all. Paul would later write in Philippians that Jesus "humbled"

himself to become like us. And we see this humility at work in today's healing of the leper. Jesus is trying to

reveal the presence of God's reign among the people, not so that he himself might receive the glory, but so

that God would be glorified through him. Imitating this pattern, which Paul encourages the Jewish and Greek

Christian factions in Corinth to do, still serves us well today. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Annual Catholic Appeal Recap:

Last weekend we had the opportunity to hear the success story of the Archdioce-

san Annual Catholic Appeal. Cardinal Bernardin initiated this campaign 27 years

ago (1991) and since then it’s objectively considered one of the best campaigns; not

only because of the dollar amount raised; but the overall goal is usually exceeded

with phenomenal generosity. The 2018 goal is 16.5 million dollars.

Why is the campaign so successful?

I believe the Holy Spirit’s work has moved Catholics away from thinking that the church is a typical organi-

zation similar to a corporation. Corporations have organization charts with the CEO at the top with all the

layers of management and employees with the main purpose of making money and producing a good pro-

duct or service.

Catholics are growing in their understanding and love for the Church, not as a corporation, but as the Mysti-

cal Body of Christ; with the Risen Lord as its head and we as its members. St. Paul gives us the analogy just

as the hand and the eye are to the head of the human body each parish and parishioner throughout the world

makes up this mystical body.

• While the Church’s organizational structures are in place to insure our faithfulness to the mission; this

Mystical Body does and continues to influence the direction of the world in a positive meaningful way

with the truth of our teachings, our witness of faith, hope and love for Jesus; and His promise of eternal

life.

• The purpose of this Body is not to make money, but to accept offerings to be used appropriately and with

great accountability to serve Christ and his Body; our sisters and brothers here and around the world.

• There are brochures at the church exits and last week’s bulletin that explain in great detail the objectives

and goals of the campaign. Our goal is only 31,022 of the overall 16.5 million dollar target.

Why do people contribute?

• “I feel I should pass my blessing on. As I share my gifts through the ACA, I remember all belong to God

not me.” (taken from the marketing materials) A St. Thecla parishioner stated, “I love being a part of the

Catholic Church and its teachings of faith.”

• As of Jan. 31st $5,330 in pledges ($3,250 already paid) from St. Thecla parishioners came in before the pu-

blic appeal was made. The 16 individual gifts ranged from $10.00 to $2,500. They gave something and

inspired me to rethink my decision to participate. Instead of wondering “how much should I give” I now

simply ask “Lord, what do you want me to share?” Archbishop Cupich in his speech and our parishioner

both stated, ‘I love the church.’ I do too, and truth be told; we share what we have with who we love.

I invite everyone; to think about what they could share, even the children can share something in making up

a family’s total amount. We all can learn and remember that we are part of something much greater than just

ourselves.

If you filled out a pledge envelop please put it in today’s collection. Still considering? Pledge envelops are

located at the church exits; and feel free to ask me any questions. If St. Thecla raises more funds than the go-

al; the overage is sent directly back to us. Thank you for listening to the archbishop’s and my reflection last

weekend and reading this summary today. Thank you for the pledges given and the considerations given to

this mission.

God’s blessings, Fr. Gene

Updates

Valentine’s Day falls on the same day

of Ash Wednesday this year. No dis-

pensations are given from the fast and

abstinence practice; combine

Valentine celebrations with Mardi Gras on the 13th

and have a Happy Valentine’s Day!!

The lights in church need upgrading: when the

bulbs burn out we replace them; when the ballasts

burn out we appropriate funds to replace them too,

yet, this is costly and ballasts are no longer manu-

factured. The plan is to replace the ballasts with

LED light bulbs which require some rewiring.

Each box (along the high wall) requires two bulbs

with different light levels. The finance council sug-

gests: instead of doing the entire church all at once

start with the two boxes closest to the choir loft and

gradually work toward the sanctuary; or start with a

box that is currently without a ballast. This proce-

dure allows us to evaluate the level of light; take

advantage of the ongoing technological develop-

ments; and each row costs a manageable $1,100.

Two years ago we made these upgrades in Falcon

Hall which have resulted in cost savings.

Parking lot: Two years ago the parish completed a

complete resurfacing of the parking lot. It is time

for the lot to receive a seal coating to preserve our

investment. We are seeking quotes.
