3 From the Desk of Fr. Mike This weekend our School s Parents Association is hosting a fundraiser for the School of St. Mary. Titled Hats Off, it is sure to be a joyous evening for parishioners and friends who attend. Thanks to all supporters and benefactors of the School of St. Mary. As you leave church today, please stop by the entrances of the church to see offerings for your prayerful celebration of the season of Lent. The Lenten key fob includes the Prayer of Contrition. Many people have a version of this beautiful prayer used as part of their prayer life and the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, where we ask for God to help us be the people of faith we know we can be, with the grace of God. Are you familiar with an act of contrition? Do you recite it by heart? Do you pray it regularly in your prayer life? If you have children, have you taught them this beautiful prayer and encourage them to also pray it regularly? My God, I am sorry for my sins, with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In His name, my God, have mercy. Amen. As we prayerfully enter into the season of Lent, making ready the way for Christ s Passion, Death, and Resurrection, the Church of St. Mary is offering an opportunity to daily ENGAGE in prayer, in the Lenten season. You will receive a daily text message or , with a brief reflection for the Lenten season. It is offered through Bishop Barron s Word on Fire. Signing up is very easy, just send a text to with the message PALMS. You will receive a confirmation text back explaining how to complete the sign up for Flocknote, which will deliver the Lenten message to you these 40 days. May this program help parishioners of all ages to engage in the Lenten season with reverence, prayer, and love for our Lord, as we await His joyful Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Next Sunday, March 17, we will welcome Bishop Alberto Rojas to our parish to celebrate the 10:00am Mass. Bishop Rojas is coming to the parish as the Vicar of Vicariate 1 to meet people as he gets to know the parishes of the Vicariate. Bishop Rojas has served the diocese as the Vicar for Vicariate 3 since he was made bishop in Bishop Rojas took over after Bishop Rassas retired this past September. You are welcome to come to the 10:00am Mass next Sunday as well as to a reception being planned in the School cafeteria following the Sunday Mass. This Lent the Lenten Fish Fry is taking place at St. Patrick s on March 15. Delicious meals will be served in the O Gara Center at St. Patrick s from 6:00 to 8:30pm. Walk-ins are welcome. All are welcome to enjoy a delicious meal and fellowship with our neighbors at St. Patrick s.

KAIROS #35 is taking place this weekend - a retreat for juniors and seniors in high school. Thank you to Terese Halm, our Youth Minister and our young adult team supporting, working and sharing God s love with our student leaders and teens experiencing the KAIROS retreat.

Guild of St. Mary Spring Break Soap Drive Taking a trip this spring? During the month of March through Spring Break, please consider collecting unused/unopen small hotel-sized bottles of soap, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, and lotion. We are also accepting feminine products, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, razors, and other personal hygiene items. The collection will benefit the Food Pantry at Most Blessed Trinity and other local ministries. Baskets are located at all church entrances, the Parish Center, and both School offices through Sunday, April 7. HELP NEEDED! FRIDAY, MARCH 15 On the third Friday of each month, St. Mary s helps provide food and staff for the Most Blessed Trinity Soup Kitchen in Waukegan. Our facility, at 914 8th Street in Waukegan, opens about 4:00pm and we generally finish our work around 7:15pm. Volunteers come and go as their circumstances require. Dinner is served from 5:30pm until 6:30pm. Before dinner, tables are set up, casseroles warmed, salads and other dishes prepared. Afterwards the facility is cleaned up and equipment put away. Foods needed: meats, potatoes, pastas, vegetables, fruits, salads & casseroles. Please leave contributions at the Parish Office (201 E. Illinois Road) until 3:00pm Friday. For information, please call Ellen Tierney at Our parish recently acquired a selection of CDs from the Augustine Institute for your spiritual enrichment. CDs (and other items) are located in the church vestibule. Kindly donate $4 each, or make checks payable to the Church of St. Mary. Please consider sharing your CD once you've listened to it! This was funded by the generosity of the Knights of Columbus ~ Lake Forest Council #1268 CDs available include A Scriptural Walk Through the Mass For Catholics, the Mass is entirely familiar, but often not well understood. Scripture scholar and well-known author Dr. Edward Sri takes listeners on a journey through the sacred liturgy that is sure to help Catholics experience the Mass more fully as the most powerful and important prayer of the Church. Dr. Sri examines the historical and biblical roots of the words, prayers, actions, and gestures contained within the Mass in order to arrive at a deeper understanding of their significance.

5 Monday, March 11, 2019 Lv 19:1-2, 11-18; Mt 25:31-46 I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me. Lent. It s probably not our favorite season of the church year, mostly because it expects us to take a long, hard look at our lives. Have we been selfish or generous? Have we greeted others with compassion or judgment? Have we sought to live our faith? The season of Lent is a reminder that someday we will be called to account for the way we have lived. And so we are challenged not only to feed the hungry but also to ask why so many people do not have access to food. And we are called to reach out to the neglected and excluded but also to work to change the systems that neglect and exclude. Faith is a verb, so we must put it into action. Jesus never said, Go and believe. He said, Go and do. Trusting in your mercy, Holy One, guide us as we follow in the way of Jesus. Tuesday, March 12, 2019 Is 55:10-11; Mt 6:7-15 In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Jesus comes down pretty hard on those who babble, and in other places he criticizes the Pharisees for praying loudly in public where everyone can hear them and see how pious they are. In contrast, Jesus teaches his disciples a very simple, short prayer less than 100 words that covers almost every important theological topic: God s nature and providence; God s kingdom; our human needs; sin, forgiveness, temptation and evil. Jesus reminds us that prayer is an important piece of being disciples (and not only during Lent). God knows the concerns we speak as well as the needs we cannot put into words. God, in your mercy, hear our prayers. Wednesday, March 13, 2019 Jon 3:1-10; Lk 11:29-32 Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and announce to it the message that I will tell you. When I was in seminary, one of the ongoing jokes was that none of us really wanted to answer God s call. One friend said he came to Readings for the First Week of Lent seminary kicking and screaming, with God nipping at his heels. Clearly, this is not a new story all you have to do is read the story of Jonah. Jonah did not want to go to Nineveh, a city of the hated Assyrian empire. The Assyrians were Israel s enemies; Jonah certainly didn t want to see them saved, rescued or redeemed. But God has other ideas, which Jonah doesn t understand. Heaven forbid that that God should be loving and merciful to them! This funny story makes me wonder: What are the Ninevehs of today? Who are the Ninevites that we think are beyond the realm of God s love and grace? How do we put limits on God s love? God of all nations and all people, forgive us when we think your love is for us alone. Thursday, March 14, 2019 Est C:12, 14-16, 23-25; Mt 7:7-12 Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This verse, this command, is found not only in the Christian Scriptures, but also in the sacred writings of most of the world s major religions. Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed and other great spiritual teachers all taught a similar message: Treat one another the way you would like to be treated. Do not do to others what would cause pain if done to you. What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. Treat not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful. Not one of you truly believes until you wish for others what you wish for yourself. Clearly, living our faith is not limited to the people in our particular church community or our circle of friends and family. Treating others all the others with respect, compassion and love is the standard we are expected to live by. Teach us again, O Lord, how to love our neighbors and ourselves. Friday, March 15, 2019 Ez 18:21-28; Mt 5:20-26 You have heard that it was said to your ancestors... but I say to you The Gospel reading today is another excerpt from what we call the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus begins with a series of blessings, the Beatitudes. Then he announces to the crowd that they are salt and light, exhorting them to let their light shine before others. Now, with a series of contrasts that are framed with You have heard it said but I say to you, Jesus makes it clear that he does not seek to abolish the law and the prophets. He has not come to relax the demands of the Law; instead, he is raising the bar with new demands and greater expectations. Yesterday s golden rule is now applied to a variety of relationships, which reminds us that gestures of devotion and obedience to God mean nothing when we are angry or hold a grudge against someone. We cannot make up for a broken relationship by bringing an offering to God. Teach us, divine Love, that the way we treat others reveals our love for you. Saturday, March 16, 2019 Dt 26:16-19; Mt 5:43-48 And if you greet your brothers and sisters only, what is unusual about that? This chapter of the Sermon on the Mount comes to an end with a series of Jesus hard sayings. Turn the other cheek. Give your cloak. Go the extra mile. Give to those who ask. Lend. And last, but certainly not least, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. During this Lenten season, perhaps we could remember the verbs in this chapter (and others from earlier lessons this week): Be the light of the world. Do. Go. Give. Forgive. Keep your word. Be reconciled. Pray. Love. For Jesus, the priority is love: love of God, love of neighbor, love of self. And loving our family and friends is just the beginning, because Jesus makes no distinction between friends and enemies. Grant us wisdom and compassion in all our relationships, O God.

10 I have now brought You the first fruits of the products of the soil which You, O Lord, have given to me. (DEUTERONOMY 26:10) This line from the Old Testament offers two challenges. First, do you give to God from your first fruits, the best that you have to offer, or do you give from what is leftover? Second, do you recognize that everything you have has been given to you by God? Ask God for a grateful and generous heart, every day, in all circumstances.
