Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

March 25, 2018

St. Anthony Catholic Church,

Frankfort, IL

St. Anthony Catholic Church

Thank you to everyone who has already made a

pledge to the 2018 Catholic Ministries Annual

Appeal (CMAA). Your gifts will benefit so many

through the thirty ministries our annual appeal

supports.

Our parish’s goal for the 2018 CMAA is $106,700.

Our hope is that every parishioner will contribute as

partners in caring, as every gift — large and small —

makes a difference. If we raise more than our goal,

70% of the amount paid over goal will be returned to us

for our use. This is an amazing opportunity for our

parish!

Please prayerfully reflect on your pledge to this year’s

CMAA. In-pew envelopes are still available in the

church, or you can make a gift online at

jolietdioceseappeal.org.

Fridays of Lent 7:00 pm March 30

LENTEN REGULATIONS 1. Everyone 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent. 2. All from the age of 18 years up to the beginning of their 60

th year are

bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. 3. On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted on these two days, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. 4. To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful. 5. Lent is the principal season of penance in the Church year. All of the faithful are strongly urged to develop and follow a program of voluntary self-denial (in addition to following the Lenten regulations), serious prayer, and a performance of works of charity and mercy.

HOLY LAND COLLECTION As we continue in the season of Lent, this special penitential season of the liturgical year is an excellent time to turn our thoughts even more toward our mission of growing in a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and supporting our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land. Lent offers another special opportunity to support the Christians and the institutions in the land of His birth, death and Resurrection. This is the third year that the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre are helping promote the Good Friday Collection. None of the monies collected on Good Friday go to the Equestrian Order. Rather 100% of these funds go to maintain the holy sites that are visited by our pilgrims and support numerous Franciscan apostolates that directly help the Christians in the Holy Land. Thank you for your anticipated generous assistance.

Catechist Corner What are Sacramentals?

Sacramentals are sacred signs or sacred actions

in which a blessing is conferred. Examples of

sacramentals are holy water, the consecration of

a bell or an organ, the blessing of a house or an

automobile, the blessing of throats on the feast

of St. Blaise, receiving ashes on Ash Wednesday,

palm branches on Palm Sunday, the Easter

candle, and the blessing of produce on the feast

of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We

should make use of the sacramentals with faith

and devotion, and never make them objects of

superstition. (YOUCAT questions 271-272)

Dig Deeper: CCC section (1667-1672)

This week we celebrate Palm Sunday, which is

also called Passion Sunday, we hear the

details about several events: Jesus’ Last

Supper, his prayer in the garden of

Gethsemane, Judas’s betrayal, the arrest of

Jesus, Peter’s denial of Jesus, and how Jesus

was accused and sentenced to death. When

we hear this Gospel, we discover that Jesus

was alone when he died on the cross. Before

he died, Jesus cried out to God, asking why

God had abandoned him. Jesus felt completely

abandoned and alone as he died on the cross.

But the Gospel also tells us that some were

looking on from the distance. In dying alone on

the cross, Jesus identifies himself with all

those who are forgotten and alone in our

world. Jesus wants us to bring his good news

to those who feel alone. God appeared to be

absent when Jesus died on the cross, but we

know that he wasn’t. By raising Jesus from the

dead, God was saying to all of those who are

forgotten and alone in the world that he cares

for them.

Question for Children: Name one thing that you

will do each day this week to remind you that

Jesus died and rose to new life for you.

Question for Adults: We hear the story of Jesus’

death each year. What did you hear differently

this year? How has your faith changed in the

past year?

Lenten Learnings

This Sunday, called Palm or Passion Sunday,

is the first day of Holy Week. Holy Thursday,

Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil on Holy Sat-

urday are called the Triduum—three days that

are the highlight of the Church year. During

Holy Week, we prayerfully remember the

events of Jesus’ passion and death. As we

meditate on the cross, we ask again and anew

what it means to make the statement of faith,

that Jesus, in his obedient suffering and dying,

revealed himself to us as God’s Son.

KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH There’s no better way to deepen our Lenten practice than to

review the Ten Commandments. The first three, having to do

with our right relationship to God, get the most ink. The one we

busy people probably have the most problem with is keeping

holy the Sabbath.

If we take this commandment literally, babies will go

undiapered and dishes will stay on the table, or perhaps meals

will not be served. The sick will go unattended and nothing that

has anything to do with physical labor will be done. Is mental

labor really work? How about changing that dirty diaper (poor

baby!)?

We need to depend on God to discern how to observe real

Sabbath time in our lives. The point of this commandment is

that God has given us a great gift: one whole day per week

when we are free to rest, worship God, sing, feast, love, and

rejoice. As Psalm 19 proclaims: “The law of the LORD is

perfect, / refreshing the soul” (19:8). Our Sabbath rest is a

great gift, to be received from God with joy, not with nitpicking.

Dear St. Anthony Parishioners, We are reaching out to you on behalf of the St. Anthony Catholic Preschool. The mission of St. Anthony Catholic Preschool, in partnership with family, church, and community is to prepare our students spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially for Kindergarten. Established in 1999, the administration and teachers of St. Anthony Catholic Preschool have been teaching young students in our community following the philosophy of parents as the primary educators who form the basis of a child’s earliest experiences of love, community, and faith. The early childhood education program builds upon this foundation and provides

developmentally appropriate experiences designed to meet psychological, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive needs of the young child. Additionally, the dignity of the individual child is recognized in this Christ centered environment. In order to sustain the mission and philosophy of the St. Anthony Catholic Preschool, we hold several small fundraisers throughout the year; however the majority of our funding comes from our main fundraiser held in the spring. This year our fundraiser, St. Anthony Catholic Preschool Fun ‘n’ Fit, will be held on April 21

st, 2018,

from 11:00a.m. to 2:00p.m. The fundraiser will start with a preschool wide walk-a-thon followed by a community wide funfest.

PASSION The contrast between the processional reading in today’s liturgy and the proclamation of the Passion is striking. We are given a

glimpse of how profoundly the word of God is fulfilled in Jesus. First he must be hailed as the Messiah, the One who is to come. He must be acknowledged by all, though they do not know what they are saying. They think he is the promised king, a worldly king of the Jews who will free them from the Roman occupation. They do not yet understand, even the disciples, exactly where this triumphal procession is leading. In our lives, we too do not know where we are going. It is in faith that we can follow Christ wherever he may lead us, trusting that death is not the end, nor evil the victor.

St. Vincent dePaul Society St. Anthony Conference

Today is Palm Sunday and the beginning of the holiest of Christian weeks. Let us pray for the grace to

take up our own cross and to follow Jesus through death to new life. During Lent, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to bring the mercy of Jesus into

the hearts of those in need by assisting 45 families, providing food and helping some with utilities and other needs. We will also be giving the families we help a ham for their Easter Dinner. Thank you for participating in the Easter giving tree. You give hope and happiness to many children during this holiday season. Please note we will be having a Clothing/Coat Drive with St. Vincent DePaul truck in our parking lot May 5 & 6. If you have donations of clothing

or furniture prior to that do not bring to St. Anthony

but you can drop off at the SVDP store in Joliet or call for a home pick up (in our area on Wednesdays) 630-231-4658

"It’s easy to judge. It’s more difficult to understand. Understanding requires compassion, patience, and a willingness to believe that good hearts sometimes choose poor methods. Through judging, we separate. Through understanding, we grow. "
