My dear family of St. Andrew the Apostle!
A mother is intimately connected to the life of her child or children. Mary, of
course, is no exception, and she is the Mother of Jesus, the true Son of God, fully God
and fully man. So how better to see their intimate bond and connection than through
the name of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist.
In the Eucharist, together with the Divinity, are the entire Body and Blood of
Jesus taken from the body and blood of the Blessed Virgin. Therefore, at every Holy
Communion we receive, it would be quite correct, and a very beautiful thing, to take
notice of our holy Mother's sweet and mysterious presence, inseparably and totally
united with Jesus in the Host. Mary with her body and soul is the heavenly "tabernacle
of God" (Rev. 21:3). Many saints and theologians (St. Peter Damian, St. Bernard, St.
Bonaventure, St. Bernardine) say that Jesus instituted the Eucharist first for Mary and
then through Mary, the universal Mediatrix of all graces, for all of us. With the Host
which is Jesus, Mary, too, enters in us and becomes entirely one with each of us, her children, pouring out her motherly
love upon our souls and bodies. The great St. Hilary, Father and Doctor of the Church, wrote beautifully: "The greatest
joy that we can give Mary is that of bearing Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament within our breast." One of the old
monstrances designed to figure Mary carrying the Holy Eucharist in her breast has these words inscribed on its base:
"O Christian, who come full of faith to receive the Bread of life, eat It worthily, and remember that It was fashioned out
of Mary's pure blood." When we receive Holy Communion, the first time or the thousandth time, we realize more fully
that we are brothers and sisters with one another as we all partake of this delicious and fragrant Bread of our Mother.
Over 18 years ago, inspired by John Paul II’s words on the call to consecrated life, four Sisters set off to
"undertake a new initiative." On February 9, 1997, they were canonically established in the Archdiocese of New York,
and soon after were invited to teach in the Diocese of Lansing in Plymouth, Michigan, and in Ann Arbor, Michigan,
where their Motherhouse is also located. They are the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist. They are
a young order that has seen explosive growth in the past few years. Today the Order counts over 85 Sisters with an
average age of 26. The average entering age has been around 21. Their primary apostolate (work focus) is Catholic
education. They run and teach schools in the Dioceses of Lansing, Charleston, Sacramento, Austin and Phoenix
at both the elementary and secondary levels. They also offer spiritual retreats, and spreading the faith by giving talks
at colleges, Catholic groups, vocation fairs and other places. These sisters, "daughters of St. Dominic," have a devotion
to Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, and a "total
filial entrustment to Mary, the Mother of
All are invited to the Ordination of
God."
Although we may not make the same
Michal Twaruzek
lifelong vows that the Dominican Sisters of
to the Priesthood
Mary, Mother of the Eucharist make, we are
still called to entrust our lives into the Hearts
Cathedral of
and Hands of both Jesus and His Mother
St. Raymond Nonnatus
Mary. And in this Year of Consecrated Life,
604 N. Raynor Avenue
let us appreciate more deeply this amazing
call to consecrated life! How beautiful is the

gift of Jesus in the Eucharist! How greatly

Dzień Matki
MODLITWA ZA MATKĘ
Panie mój, Ty też stałeś się człowiekiem
i wziąłeś ciało z Matki Dziewicy.
Ty też za ziemskiego życia zechciałeś mieć Matkę.
Dziś jest święto wszystkich matek.
Dziękuję Ci za moją matkę.
Jej zawdzięczam to, że jestem.
Z niej wziąłem swoje ciało, swoją krew.
Ona mnie karmiła swoim mlekiem.
Ona nic za to nie chce ode mnie,
pragnie tylko i modli się, abym był dobry
i w życiu szczęśliwy.
Dziś powiem jej wiele razy,
że za wszystko jej dziękuję,
że kocham ją zawsze i zawsze będę jej radością.
Tobie dziś, Panie, dziękuję za cud, jakim jest
moja matka.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER
Last Sunday we heard the familiar passage from
John’s Gospel in which Jesus uses the metaphor of the
vine and the branches. In that passage we were told that if
we remained in Christ we would bear much fruit. Today’s
Gospel tells us just what that fruit is: love. Today’s second reading and Gospel together create a great hymn to
love. The chorus of this hymn is simple—God loves us so
much that Jesus was sent into the world so that we would
have life. The Lord Jesus, who last week told us to remain
in him, this week tells us to remain in his love. In a world
marked by division and terrorism, the Lord’s final words
in today’s Gospel are a great challenge: “This I command
you: love one another.”

Feliz Día De Las Madrecitas!
Sexto Domingo de Pascua
AMISTAD VERDADERA
La amistad verdadera requiere de un trabajo arduo. La amistad conlleva a caminar con la otra persona
en sus momentos de felicidad o de frustración profunda y fracaso. Las amistades necesitan atención constante.
Los amigos necesitan estar presentes. Los amigos necesitan hablar, ser honestamente críticos y tiempo para
relacionarse. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús llama “amigos” a sus seguidores. Si nos incluimos entre los seguidores del Señor, esto significa que en el bautismo iniciamos una amistad con el Señor Jesús. A fin de cultivar
nuestra amistad con el Señor, nos comprometemos a caminar con Él en las alegrías y en las frustraciones de la
vida. Muchos de nosotros hemos perdido el contacto con bastantes personas. Conocemos la experiencia de los
lazos débiles de la amistad. La mayoría de nosotros también admite que solamente tiene el tiempo y la energía
para comprometerse a cultivar una o muy pocas amistades de verdad. ¿Cómo cultivamos nuestra amistad con
el Señor Jesús?
CULTIVANDO NUESTRA AMISTAD CON EL SEÑOR
Si creemos que Jesús está en realidad presente en su mundo, en la Eucaristía, en aquellos que nos
prestan sus ministerios y en la asamblea de creyentes, seguramente encontraremos muchas oportunidades de
presentarnos ante el Señor. A menudo, perdemos estas oportunidades y se debilita nuestra amistad con el
Señor. Quizás hoy es el día para nuevamente comprometernos a fortalecer nuestra amistad con el Señor, que
en el bautismo nos escogió como sus amigos. La raíz de la amistad, por supuesto, es el amor desinteresado.
Hoy estamos llamados a disfrutar del amor de Dios, a sentir la presencia viva de Dios por medio de la experiencia de la adoración y la compañía de los que se han dedicado a compartir el amor de Dios. Regocijémonos
en el amor que Dios nos muestra.

GRANT ETERNAL REST, LIGHT AND PEACE TO ALL

and a sponsor couple through this process. Please note that
this six month period of preparation is essential.
ORDERS
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

team or homebound and in need of communion.

ministry are encouraged to call the parish offices.
SACRAMENTS OF HEALING
RECONCILIATION
Reconciliation is available each Saturday afternoon,
Wednesday evening 5:30-7:00pm, 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.
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!
I would like to have my house blessed.
Please contact me to make arrangements.
