TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — I shall gather the remnant of my flock and bring them back to their meadow (Jeremiah 23:1-6). Psalm — The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want (Psalm 23). Second Reading — In Christ Jesus you who were once far off have become near by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2:13-18). Gospel — When Jesus saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he began to teach them many things (Mark 6:30-34). REST IN THE LORD For several weeks we have listened to readings that have recounted just how arduous the work of prophets and disciples can be. In today’s Gospel, the Lord Jesus listens to the reports of those he had sent out “two by two” to minister to the people. After the apostles reported what they had done, Jesus, recognizing their fatigue, says, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest awhile” (Mark 6:31). Perhaps this is what the Lord is tell-ing his disciples in the year 2018 as well. We need to pause on our journey of discipleship and simply rest in the Lord. Sunday Mass provides many opportunities for quiet times, particularly during the periods of silence fol-lowing the readings. Why not take the time today to allow the saving word of the Lord to penetrate your heart during those silent times? Ask the Lord to renew you in body, mind, and spirit for the arduous work of discipleship.

Just fill out the form below and show how much you care.

Upon the death of a loved one, a family member should contact the parish office as soon as possible (815-723-3291). You will be contacted by our bereavement coordi-nator, Anna Siwiec-Sitkowska, who will assist the family in planning the funeral liturgy for the deceased.

If it is too difficult for you to walk to the front of the church to receive Communion, please know that at each Mass an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Com-munion comes to the back of the church to distribute Communion. If you would like to have the Extraor-dinary Minister give you communion in the back of church, please let an usher know before Mass be-gins. At Communion time, when you see the Ex-traordinary Minister come to the back, please raise your hand so that they can see you and give you Ho-ly Communion

JUSTICE AND PEACE NOTES

The fourth major theme of Catholic teaching on social justice and peace involves human rights and responsibilities. People have a fundamental right to life, food, shelter, health care, education and employment. All people have a right to participate in decisions that affect their lives. Corresponding to these rights are duties and responsibilities. For example, all persons have a duty to respect the rights of others in society. All persons have a responsibility to participate in social and political ac-tivities and institutions that promote the common good. In our country that means we should do our best to become informed about how social, political and economic policies impact the common good, especially the poor. It also means that we should reflect our Christian principles and con-cerns by voting in elections. To not vote is to shirk our Christian responsibility to promote the com-mon good. To not vote is to allow others, perhaps some who do not share our values, to determine public policy.
