My dear family of St. Andrew the Apostle!

In announcing this Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis said, “Here, then, is the reason for the Jubilee: because this is the time for mercy. It is the favorable time to heal wounds, a time not to be weary of meeting all those who are waiting to see and to touch with their hands the signs of the closeness of God, a time to offer everyone, everyone, the way of forgiveness and reconciliation. May the Mother of God open our eyes, so that we may comprehend the task to which we have been called; and may she obtain for us the grace to experience this Jubilee of Mercy as faithful and fruitful witnesses of Christ.”

So to live mercy, Pope Francis continues, we must rediscover both the spiritual works of mercy and the corporal works of mercy. Today, here, let me just highlight the spiritual works of mercy. Which spiritual works of mercy might Jesus be calling you to practice?

The Spiritual Works of Mercy have long been a part of the Christian tradition, appearing in the works of theologians and spiritual writers throughout history. Just as Jesus attended to the spiritual well-being of those he ministered to, these Spiritual Works of Mercy guide us to “help our neighbor in their spiritual needs.”

Counseling the doubtful: Everyone has moments of doubt in their faith journey. Nevertheless, we should always remember that Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and turn to him along our way. The Book of Proverbs says, “Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may eventually become wise” (Prov 19:20). Has someone asked you for advice? Orient your response to Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Instructing the ignorant: Learn about our faith and be open to talking with others about our beliefs. There is always something more to discover about our faith. Volunteer to help with faith formation. Invite someone to go to Mass with you this weekend. Know your faith! Look up topics of interest to you in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and share them! Admonishing the sinner: Jesus says, do not judge, but guide others towards the path of salvation (see Mt 7:1-2); be supportive in helping others find their way and correct their mistakes. Together we can learn to walk more closely with Christ, encouraging and practicing the Sacrament of Reconciliation. In humility we must strive to create a culture that does not accept sin, while realizing that we all fall at times. We are all in need of God's loving correction. “Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye” (Mt 7:5). Comforting the sorrowful and afflicted: Be open to listening and comforting those who are dealing with grief. Even if we aren't sure of the right words to say, our presence can make a big difference. Lend a listening ear to those going through a tough time. Write a letter or send a card to someone who is suffering. Forgiving injuries and offenses: Forgiving others is difficult at times because we do not have God’s limitless mercy and compassion. But Jesus teaches us that we should forgive as God forgives, relying on him to help us show others the mercy of God. Let go of grudges. Saying sorry is something we learn as kids, but how often do we really mean it? Forgiveness transforms hearts and lives. Bearing wrongs patiently: Do not be bitter about wrongs done against you. Place your hope in God so that you can endure the troubles of this world and face them with a compassionate spirit. Frustrated with someone? Step away from the situation, take a few deep breaths, pray the Our Father, asking God for patience. Praying for the living and the dead: Prayer is one of the most powerful ways we can support others. Joining together in prayer for the living and the dead entrusts us all into God's care. Request a Mass intention for a friend or family member who is going through a tough time. Request a Mass intention for a friend or family member who has passed away. Ask a friend or family member if there is anything you can pray for them about. Keep your own book of prayer intentions, writing down the names of those who you are keeping in your prayers. Through prayer, entrust your cares and concerns for those around you to God. Pope Francis concludes so beautifully that Mercy is “the beating heart of the Gospel.” Let our hearts beat to the rhythm of the Gospel of Mercy! Which spiritual works of mercy might Jesus be calling you to practice? In the loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Fr. Gregor

On February 13th, the eighth grade along with the PTO sponsored a Father/Daughter, Mother/Son Valentine’s Day Dance. It was well attended with much praise for the event. A photo booth was available for parent/child pictures. More pictures may be seen on our facebook page at www.facebook.com/SrAndrewRomeoville. The fifth and sixth graders are

reading The Diary of Anne Frank and the seventh and eighth graders are reading Night in their study of the Holocaust. Together with the teachers, they participated in a very brief,

barefooted version of the Holocaust “Death March” through the snow to get an idea of what it would have been like in a concentration camp. More pictures are available at www.facebook.com/StAndrewRomeoville.

Basketball News: Another feather in the cap for this fighting Crusaders. The 7-8 grade basketball team fin-ished second in the St. Joseph Lock-port Winter Classic tournament. The team fought gallantly to the end against an all-seniors team of St. Joe but fell short of the championship. Nonetheless, congratulations to the team for a very successful campaign.

Please call the parish office by Monday at (815) 886-4165 for the name of your loved one to be placed for 3 weeks on our short term prayer list. Also, please call the parish office, if you are hospitalized and would like a visit from our hospital ministry team or homebound and in need of communion.

Hospital Visitation of Parishioners

Please remember that if you or any family members find yourselves in a hospital, be sure to let them know you are a parishioner at St. Andrew’s — it doesn’t hurt to say it a few times, either! Whenever we priests, deacons or Eucharistic Ministers come to visit, we check the hospital list of parishioners printed under “St. Andrew.” But if you’re not listed as a parishioner of St. Andrew, we won’t know you’re even there! We do not want to miss you! You can always call us, too, at the office, ext. 301. Thank you. May the Lord Jesus be with you all your days, to love and be loved by Him, to honor and serve Him, as He honors and serves us!

The Catechumenate is a community which gathers those adults who have not been baptized, and seek deeper insight into the Christian faith.

BAPTISM OF CHILDREN We joyfully celebrate the baptism of children of Christian households which are joined to our weekly worship, and have active registration in our parish community for at least 3 months. After registration in the parish, please attend an Evening of Awareness, if you have not attended a class in the past two years, to register for Baptism and select a date. Classes are presented on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Baptism is celebrated on the third Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m.

EUCHARIST AND CONFIRMATION Formation for those coming first to the table of the Lord as children is infused into the efforts of our school and Faith Formation Office. Confirmation formation is a two year process completed in eighth grade. Please call the Faith Formation Office for more information.

SACRAMENTS OF COMMITMENT MARRIAGE

Marriage preparation is a six month process of prayer, reflection and study. Couples work with both the presider and a sponsor couple through this process. Please note that this six month period of preparation is essential.

ORDERS Those seeking assistance in discerning a call to ordained ministry are encouraged to call the parish offices.

SACRAMENTS OF HEALING RECONCILIATION

Reconciliation is available each Saturday afternoon, 3:00pm, Wednesday evening, 5:45-6:45pm, through seasonal communal services, and by appointment.

ANOINTING Anointing of the Sick is offered through seasonal services, and always by request. If hospitalized, please immediately seek anointing from the Catholic chaplain.
