Thank you for your continued generosity to St. Joseph Parish! SHINING THE LIGHT OF CHRIST 2021 CMAA It is me for the 2021 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal (CMAA). Your gi is especially important this year, during the pandemic, as our diocese connues to explore new and innovave ways to serve those in need. The 2021 theme is Shining the Light of Christ. The 30 ministries the CMAA supports allow parishes to join together to shine Christ s light to the benefit of many, from the poor and vul nerable to seminarians and schoolchildren. No parish could provide all of these ministries on its own. Please note, 70 percent of any amount we raise over our goal will be returned to us. This is a great opportunity for our parish! Please review the materials you receive in the mail from the Diocese of Joliet and prayerfully reflect on your gi to this year s annual appeal. If you do not receive a CMAA mailing, please contact the parish office.

DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE LEGAL PROTECTION OF UNBORN CHILDREN JANUARY 22 W e e k l y R e f l e c t i o n JAN. 17, 2021 2ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Our faith is not just about ideas. It s really about having an encounter with God and, in particular, the Risen Christ! Once we give ourselves over to the notion of God s presence, we have to train ourselves to listen for God s voice and be attentive to God s call. Having companions on our faith journeys is so incredibly important as they can help us fine-tune our listening skills and discern God s voice from others we may be hearing. Faith is all about having these profound encounters not only with God but with our brothers and sisters, and creation itself. Anyone or anything that is alive with God s presence becomes an occasion for God to speak and call us to deeper graces and experiences. Come, and you will see. The example and teaching of Jesus, the lives of the saints, those living among us and those glorified in heaven, and the wonder and beauty of creation can all serve to help us listen more clearly and assist in positioning ourselves for this profound God meeting. It is an encounter that can quickly and easily lead to a friendship and intimate intertwining of our souls to their Maker, making a claim on us like no other. Then, the Word of God moves from being just a body of ideas to something we simply accept and do. The person of Jesus Christ swiftly moves from being just a good prophet in word and deed to the incarnate presence of God Himself, the Lamb of God. The voice leads us to the Person behind it. The Gospel is hard to follow. We can intellectually debate whether what Jesus said is really what we are asked to do. The Gospel ideas do not always make sense in our practical, secular world. The person of God always does. We can debate the practicality and sense of ideas and doing so often keeps the more difficult ones at a safe distance away from us. Jesus said to love our enemy, but we really don t need to do that, our minds try to convince us. It just doesn t make sense. Yet, if we are truly in love with the God who is behind the voice of those words, they make perfect sense. Our deep and intimate love of this God would even find us laying down our lives for Him if necessary. Speak Lord, your servant is listening. Source: LPi Fr.

LUCY MATE, GRADE 6 SARAH HOEHN, GRADE 8 (See their poems below) There is a different, more deep meaning than food at Thanksgiving. There is a deeper meaning than dinner. It s living. God gave us life that we don t always think about fully, But we are here every day making our lives great and holy. Yes we eat, and we pray. And with our friends we laugh and play. But we could not do that without life. Having fun with your family and wife. Celebrating our thanks on this special day. And thanking God in every which way. The deeper meaning, yes it s true, The deeper meaning is even after life, God still loves you. So happy happy Thanksgiving, and have a nice day! But remember God loves you in the very best way. --Lucy Mate, Grade 6 Cornucopia of Blessings Remember a time not long ago A table lit by candles glow A turkey cooked and carved with care A meal celebrated with a prayer. Remember the leaves that blanket the ground Crimson and gold and spread around A frosty wind that chilled your ears A broken branch that startled deer. Remember the joy that filled your hearts A lasting delight that set you apart A grateful feeling that made life worth living That came to you on every Thanksgiving. --Sarah Hoehn, Grade 8 WEDNESDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY 9:00 AM CHURCH HALL Seating will be arranged to ensure social distancing.

O r d e r o f t h e M a s s SIGN OF THE CROSS GREETING PENITENTIAL ACT I confess to almighty God And to you, my brothers and sisters, That I have greatly sinned, In my thoughts and in my words, In what I have done and in what I have failed to do, (striking their breast) Through my fault, through my fault, Through my most grievous fault; Therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-virgin, All the Angels and Saints, And you, my brothers and sisters, To pray for me to the Lord our God.

COLLECT (OPENING PRAYER) FIRST READING RESPONSORIAL PSALM SECOND READING ALLELUIA GOSPEL HOMILY PROFESSION OF FAITH (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, (bowing) 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.
