MISSION STATEMENT MISSION STATEMENT MISSION STATEMENT

Message from our Pastor Fr. Timothy

A Week with the Lord Jesus is inviting us, starting today, to spend a week with him. Just as he invited the apostles to do the same – and they fell away – we also want to be with him for this most central part of his mission. Today, together with the Univer-sal Church, we remember and celebrate his triumphant en-try into Jerusalem with shouts of “Hosanna” and the waving of palms. Today’s Mass has two Gospels – both from Mark this year. The first one is read before Mass and recalls this joyful moment when all of Jerusalem proclaimed Jesus as Lord. The second is the account of his passion, suffering and death and is read at the normal time during Mass with the participation of all present. Jesus is inviting us to participate in spirit as well. These are the following events marked by the liturgy this Holy Week:

Holy Thursday Only two Masses are permitted on this day. The first is with the Bishop and all the priests together at the Cathe-dral in Rockford. It is called the Chrism Mass since the Holy Chrism and other holy oils are blessed by the Bishop and distrib-uted to a representative of each parish. The other is the Mass of the Lord’s Supper held in the evening at each parish. Here we remember how Jesus gave us the Eucharist for the first time before going to the Garden of Gethsemane to prepare for his crucifixion. This Mass is celebrated with the church specially pre-pared. The images of the saints are covered. The tabernacle is empty. There is a solemn atmosphere of anticipation for what Jesus is about to suffer. The feet of 12 parishioners will be washed at this Mass in commemoration of Jesus’ “mandatum” to serve one another. At the end of Mass the Eucharist remaining will be taken to the altar of repose where people can pray and watch until midnight. The altar will be stripped and crosses will be covered.

Good Friday – No Masses may be celebrated this day when Jesus died on the cross. It is a worthy and good practice to fol-low in the footsteps of Christ by participating in the “Via Crucis” or Way of the Cross. These “stations of the cross” will be prayed with the Bishop, all the seminarians, and all the faithful through the streets of Aurora today. There is also a special liturgy in each parish in the afternoon around the hour of Christ’s death called the Liturgy of the Passion of the Lord. This is not a Mass but the faithful will be able to receive Communion from the Hosts conse-crated the evening before. The Passion of the Lord according to St. John will be read and the faithful will have the opportunity to venerate the Holy Cross. On this day the Church keeps the “paschal fast” by eating less and abstaining from meat. Where possible the fast should be kept until the first Mass of Easter on Saturday night.

Holy Saturday On this day the Church waits for the resurrec-tion of Christ which is first celebrated that night at the Easter Vigil Mass after sundown. There is no other Saturday evening Mass. The Easter Vigil Mass fulfills the Easter obligation of at-tending Mass. At this Mass those who have prepared during Lent are baptized with the newly blessed Holy Water of Easter. Other candidates also receive the sacraments of Confirmation or First Eucharist. Jesus is proclaimed and celebrated here as our resur-rected Lord, the source of our eternal life. Easter begins this night.

Fr. Timothy

Mensaje de nuestro Pastor Padre Timothy

Una semana con el Señor Comenzando hoy, Jesucristo nos invita a acompañarlo durante la semana. Así como había invitado a los apósto-les que no perseveraron, quiere que nosotros también estemos a su lado. Hoy junto con la Iglesia universal re-cordamos y celebramos su entrada triunfante en Jerusa-

lén con aclamaciones de “Hosana” y con palmas. La Misa de hoy tiene dos evangelios, los dos de San Marcos este año. El prime-ro se lee antes de la procesión y recuerda el momento jubiloso en que todo Jerusalén proclamaba a Jesús como Señor. El se-gundo nos recuerda su pasión, sufrimiento y muerte y se lee en el momento normal de la Misa con la participación de todos. Jesús nos invita a participar espiritualmente también – y no sólo hoy sino durante toda la semana. He aquí los momentos más importantes de esta Semana Santa:

Jueves Santo – Sólo se permiten dos Misas en el día de hoy. La primera tiene lugar en la Catedral con el obispo y todos sus sacerdotes. Se llama la Misa Crismal pues es el momento cuan-do el obispo bendice el sagrado crisma y los demás olios santos antes de repartirlos a todas las parroquias de la diócesis. Unos representantes de cada parroquia están presentes para recibir los olios y llevarlos a sus sendas parroquias. La otra Misa tiene lugar en la tarde en cada parroquia y se llama la Misa de la Ce-na del Señor. Recordamos como Jesús se entregó a nosotros en este sacramento excelso de la Santa Eucaristía, celebrada por primera vez en la última cena. La Misa se celebra en la iglesia preparada para la solemnidad del momento. Desaparecen o se cubren las imágenes de los santos. El sagrario está vacío. Todos están anticipando los eventos que comienzan esta noche en que Jesús entra en su sufrimiento. Se lavarán los pies de doce parroquianos en imitación de Cristo quien lavó los pies de sus apóstoles, dándoles su “mandatum” de amor y servicio fraterno. Después de la Misa, la Eucaristía se llevará a un altar de reposi-ción especialmente preparado donde los fieles pueden quedar en adoración hasta medianoche. El altar principal se despojará y se cubrirán las cruces de la Iglesia.

Viernes Santo – No se celebra Misa en el día en que Jesucristo murió. Es práctica saludable seguir los pasos de Cristo este día por el rezo de la “viacrucis” o camino de la cruz. El Obispo de Rockford, el Mons. David Malloy, estará presente ese día junto con todos los seminaristas de la diócesis y con miles de fieles que rezaremos el viacrucis por las calles de Aurora. También, cada parroquia celebra una liturgia en la tarde en torno a la hora de la muerte de Cristo. Se llama la Celebración de la Pa-sión del Señor. No es Misa pero los fieles pueden recibir la Santa Comunión con Hostias consagradas la noche anterior. Se lee la pasión del Señor según San Juan y los fieles tienen oportunidad a pasar a venerar la Santa Cruz. En este día la Iglesia guarda el ayuno pascual por no comer mucho y por el abstenerse de co-mer carne. Donde es posible el ayuno se puede extender hasta la Misa del sábado en la noche.

Sábado Santo – En este día la Iglesia espera la resurrección del Señor que se celebra con la primera Misa de Pascua que tiene lugar el sábado después de la caída del sol. No hay otra Misa vespertina este día. Asistir a la Misa del Vigilio Pascual cumple con la obligación de asistir a Misa en el domingo de Pas-cua. En esta Misa de noche los catecúmenos – o sea, los que se preparaban durante la cuaresma – reciben el bautismo. Otros candidatos reciben la Confirmación y/o la primera Comunión. Jesucristo se proclama y se celebra como el Señor resucitado, fuente de la vida de cada cristiano.

“At the Last Supper, Christ loved the apostles with a greater love. He tells them to ‘remain present before

the Lord. Thus, the first thing for a disciple is to remain with Christ, to learn from Him”

~Pope Francis~

Note: There will be no adoration during the day on Holy Thursday, March 29th.

“Jesús demostró el gran amor a sus discípulos durante la ultima cena. El les dice que permanezcan

presentes ante el Señor. Por lo tanto, lo primero para un discípulo debe permanecer con Cristo, para

aprender de Él” ~Papa Francisco

Nota: El jueves santo, Marzo 29 no habrá adoración al santísimo durante el día

“Respect for the human person proceeds by way of re-spect for the principle that ‘everyone should look upon his neighbor (without any exception) as “another self,” above all bearing in mind his life and the means neces-sary for living it with dignity.’” ~Catechism 1931~

“El respeto a la persona humana supone respetar este principio: ‘Que cada uno, sin ninguna excepción, debe considerar al prójimo (sin excepción) como “otro yo”, cui-dando, en primer lugar, de su vida y de los medios nece-sarios para vivirla dignamente’”. ~Catecismo 1931~

Materials Available for Divine Mercy Sunday in Magazine Rack and for Purchase

Sunday April 8 is Divine Mercy Sunday. The message of The Divine Mercy is simple: that God loves us and wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. As recorded in the Diary of St. Faustina, Our Lord said, “I want to grant a complete pardon to the souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on the Feast of My mercy.” So, Our Lord's promise of complete for-giveness is a reminder that He is truly present and truly alive in the Eucharist filled with love and waiting for us to turn to Him in trust. And it is a call for us all to be washed clean in His love through Confession and Holy Commun-ion, no matter how terrible our sins, and begin our lives anew. Learn about the Hour of Great Mercy, The Image, The Divine Mercy Chaplet and Divine Mercy Novena.
