We might think, Great in theory, but not always realistic! Then Jesus in today s Gospel goes even further. Take a slap in the face and then turn the other cheek? Treat enemies the same as friends? Again, we re tempted to think that those are nice ideals, but not very practical in the real world. Paul echoes Jesus when he tells the Corinthians that what passes for human wisdom is absurdity to God. Divine wisdom casts sunshine on the good and the bad, showers rain on the honest and the dishonest without distinction. We must examine our wisdom and common sense to see how they compare to the wisdom of God, and make adjustments accordingly. Copyright J. S.

5 2017 Annual Catholic Appeal Love Your Neighbor As Yourself This weekend, our parish will be conducting the Annual Catholic Appeal in-pew commitment Weekend. Please remember that the Annual Catholic Appeal is much different that a one-time special collection. It is a pledge campaign where you can make a gift payable in installments. The ACA theme, Love Your Neighbor As Yourself,: was selected to remind us that our contributions to the Annual Catholic Appeal enable the funded ministries and services to share God s love with many others in our Parish and our Archdiocese. FISH FRY St. James Church S. Torrence Ave. Sauk Village, IL FRIDAY S DURING LENT MARCH 3 MARCH 10 MARCH 17 MARCH 24 MARCH 31 APRIL 7 5 PM TO 7 PM Each pledge makes a difference because all Parishes participate in the campaign and the gifts of many enable our Archdiocese to deliver needed ministries and services. MACARONI AND CHEESE DINNER $6.00 SEAFOOD SALAD $8.00 FISH DINNER $7.00 SHRIMP DINNER $8.00 Thank you for your prayerful consideration and generous response. ATTENTION About a year ago, Cardinal Cupich began speaking to the pastors of the Archdiocese regarding the Renew My Church initiative, a true opportunity for parishes to work toward a common goal. Without knowingly doing so, back in February of 2016, St. Lawrence O Toole took our own initiative to offer a 4 week course for training people to be Ministers of Care to the Sick. We had five parishes participate last year, and it s time to do it again. Therefore, we will be offering training to be held on the four Tuesdays in March this year, March 7, March 14, March 21 & March 28. Since the Archdiocese asks that new ministers have no less than 12 hours of training, the sessions will be from 6:30 PM 9:30 PM on these evenings. There will be a variety of presenters. So, if you want to be able to carry the Body of Our Lord to the sick in their homes or to hospitals or nursing homes, please contact the Parish Office to register for these trainings, and mark these evenings in your calendar. Fr. Mike Novick St. Lawrence O Toole DINNERS SERVED WITH YOUR CHOICE OF: MACARONI/CHEESE OR FRENCH FRIES - COLE SLAW OR APPLE SAUCE - BREAD AND BUTTER / BEVERAGE AND DESSERT CARRY OUTS AVAILABLE AT NO EXTRA CHARGE NEW THIS YEAR!

It s for a chair: Saint Peter s chair in fact After the Resurrection, there can be no doubt that the disciples reserved a special place for Simon Peter in the upper room. Later, Peter became the bishop of Antioch in today s Syria, the place where we were first called Christians. From there, he went to Rome, the center of the Empire, where it is said that Peter sat in a chair in the house of Priscilla and Aquila to instruct his flock. Jesus, in entrusting the keys of the Kingdom to Peter and his successors, entrusted his compassion and mercy to them, and charged them with pointing to the Kingdom of God. Compassion and mercy are to resonate through their teaching. Since the ancient sign of a teacher is the chair ( disciple literally means one who sits at the feet of a teacher), Peter s chair has long been treasured. Today there is a symbolic shrine of Peter s chair above the main altar of St. Peter s Basilica in Rome. This monument is the last work of Bernini, a huge bronze throne supported by four doctors of the Church: Augustine and Ambrose from the Western Church, and Chrysostom and Athanasius from the East. High above it is the alabaster window of the descent of the Holy Spirit. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
