From the Desk of Fr. Mike Nacius, Pastor |

Throughout Respect Life Month the Church of St. Mary will be reflecting on and will be highlighting a number of Respect Life themes in our prayers, homilies and bulletin articles. In prayer and in deed, may each and every parishioner at the Church of St. Mary proclaim our Catholic belief and conviction to “Respect All Life”.
The Scriptures this Sunday reflect on feasting on God’s mountain (Isaiah) and attending and fully participating at a joyous wedding feast (Matthew’s gospel). The scriptural images found in the Old Testament reference God’s covenant with Israel, often described as a marriage covenant. Throughout the New Testament Jesus is frequently referred to as the bridegroom. Today’s gospel parable, while somewhat puzzling, highlights the new reality that has come about through the presence, teaching and ministry of Jesus.
There are many images that come to mind when I read the Scriptures of “rich food and choice wines, juicy rich food and pure choice wines.” There are experiences shared with family members, friends and parishioners in modern day celebrations of marriage. Chimes are rung, bells are sounded, announcements are made, “tell those invited, the banquet is prepared, everything is ready, come to the feast.” What are the images and fond remembrances of God’s grace showered upon celebrations you have participated in of husband and wife coming together beginning their vocations, supported by family and friends?
In addition to the above quotes of Scripture from this Sunday, there is also another powerful image that may speak even louder to you in your prayer, in your hope this day: “The Lord God will wipe away the tears from every face.” When we practice Corporal Works of Mercy, we participate with God in bringing comfort, compassion and hope to those saddened, burdened and crying. The seven corporal acts of mercy: to feed the hungry, to give drink to the thirsty, to clothe the naked, to give shelter to travelers, to visit the sick, to visit the imprisoned, and to bury the dead. Each and every gesture of mercy can and does wipe away tears from the face of people, our sisters and brothers in the Lord.
This week I am highlighting three ways that we can learn more and if possible, support those who are struggling with some of the basic necessities that we may take for granted including housing and food.
As we recognize Respect Life Month the following information provided by the Hunger in America agency is offered to enlighten us about the “hungry at our door” in Lake County.
During Respect Life Month I hope we can respond to those that are hungry at our door by helping to feed them through our “Pack the Pantry” effort at our sharing parish. The need during the Pandemic is great. We are planning appropriately how we may be able to receive donations as well as deliver them to the Food Pantry at Most Blessed Trinity in Waukegan. The next “Pack the Pantry” will take place in November. Details will be shared in an upcoming bulletin.
When speaking to the volunteers at the Food Pantry, household items are in high demand. One item that I was informed is needed is reusable shopping bags. If you know of a business, your own company or other resource that can donate reusable shopping bags to the Food Pantry at Most Blessed Trinity, please let me know. Thank you!
Also, parishioners continue to support the Lake County PADS program. Here is a link for additional information this October. PADS Lake County is a community-based organization that provides trauma-informed support, resources, and shelter to individuals and families experiencing a housing crisis. “We envision a community in which homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring; one in which anyone who may experience a housing crisis has timely access to the proper resources and services based on their individual needs.” Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, PADS will continue to house medically vulnerable individuals and families in individual accommodations. Financial support to PADS helps maintain this ministry.
Next weekend, Deacon Herrmann and Thomas will be preaching at the Masses. They will share in an article for the bulletin the encouragement for all parishioners to spend some time with Faithful Citizenship.
God bless you with a heart filled with mercy and peace that respects all life.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
Below are a few guidelines for being in the Church. There are numerous signs around the exterior and interior of the Church to help facilitate these new patterns. Due to the limited capacity, number of parishioners and our reduced Mass schedule, we ask that you sign up for a weekend Mass every other week and one weekday Mass to allow others to be able to pray in the Church and celebrate Mass in person. If the day before, there are still open slots, you may sign up.
-
Church Entrance: The south door, near the elevator, is the only entrance into the Church. Please form a line along the exterior south wall of the Church and a volunteer greeter will let you in.
-
Arrive On Time: South Entrance doors will open 15 minutes prior to the start of Mass and it is strongly encouraged you arrive by the time the doors open as time is needed to Greet visitors and allow Ushers to seat you.
-
Entrance Doors Close: South Entrance doors will close at the start of Mass to allow volunteers to attend Mass. Thank you for allowing yourself time to arrive.
-
Volunteers: Parish volunteers will be on site to help direct and guide all of us as we begin to open and re-enter the Church.
-
Masks/Face Covering: Mask or face coverings are required to be worn by all individuals at all times while in the Church building.
-
Hand Sanitizer: Sanitize your hands as you enter the Church building.
-
Social Distance: Maintain proper social distancing of 6 feet apart, unless you are with somebody who lives in the same household as you. There are floor markings to help facilitate this.
-
100 Persons Maximum: A maximum of 100 individuals (excluding the priest and other ministers) are allowed in the Church at one time. In inclement weather, personal vehicles would be a necessary shelter while waiting.
-
Church Exit: The north doors onto the main plaza will be the only exit from the Church (unless you require use of the elevator).
-
Church East Entrance - Emergency Exit Only: Please do not use the East doors onto the stairways for either entering or exiting.
-
Surface Sanitizing: All surfaces touched by persons are sanitized prior to the next opening of the Church.
-
Restrooms Unavailable: For the safety of all, the restrooms will not be available, unless it's an emergency.
-
Registration Required: Registration is required through SignUp Genius for Public Mass, Adoration, Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals. 85 slots will be available online and 15 slots will be available by calling the office for those who do not have access to technology.
-
SignUp Availability: SignUps for the next week's schedule will be available through SignUp Genius after 9:00am on Friday's. Registration is required for Public Mass & Prayer, Adoration, Weddings, Funerals and Baptisms. If you need assistance, please contact the Parish Center Office during normal business hours at receptionist@churchofstmary.org or call 847-234-0205. Leave a message and they will call you back.
VOLUNTEERS
Volunteer Tasks:
- Greeters will assist in managing the flow of congregants as they enter the church, participate in the liturgy/sacrament, and exit the church.
- Team members will combine some of the functions of an usher, such as directing participants to appropriate seating/waiting areas, but will include additional responsibilities, including, but not limited to, making sure attendees use hand sanitizer upon entering, are wearing a mask, and are reminded not to enter if ill.
- Given the circumstances, greeters will need to be tactful and firm paying careful attention to all people on-site. To support parish greeter teams, rudimentary training tips on handling difficult situations will be provided.
- Volunteers will ensure that: all supplies needed for each sacramental celebration/gathering are ready for use, entrances and exits are marked and propped physically open prior to attendees' arrival/departure, and windows are opened.
- Volunteers will help maintain and sanitize essential and trafficked areas of the church after the church has been used. Masks and gloves will be provided, if necessary, in addition to approved cleaning/disinfecting supplies.
May God grant you peace and comfort in this time.

October 11, 2020: Gospel Reflection for the Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time |
|
One of the themes in our readings this Sunday is that God's offer of salvation is for everyone. In our first reading Isaiah tells his audience of God’s abundant love. Isaiah speaks of a wondrous banquet God will host on the top of a mountain. In scripture mountains are places where encounters with God occur. It was thought in Old Testament times that you had be as geographically high as possible to be close to God. Of course our collective spirituality has grown to understand that God is always with us, wherever we are, but this is why we see so many important events in scripture happening on mountain tops.
Isaiah speaks of a banquet with rich, juicy food and pure choice wines. Sounds quite decadent doesn’t it? It symbolizes how much God loves us. In scripture abundance is a sign of God’s presence and unending love. God is offering that love, that salvation to all peoples, which includes us!
Now let’s look at the gospel. As expected, Jesus takes the theme we heard in the first reading and goes deeper. There are two parables in this gospel, that is, if you read Matthew 22: 1-14. Often during Mass we only hear versus 1-10. I will get to that in a bit. Jesus is once again speaking to the chief priests & elders (aka the religious elite). He says that a wedding feast is like the kingdom of heaven. In our minds we can picture all the sumptuous foods and drinks, the abundance. The king sends servants to collect all the invited guests to this wedding feast, yet they refuse to come! The king doesn’t give up and sends more servants to invite them again and yet they still refuse. Even worse some of them grab servants and kill them. Now the king has his servants go into the community and invite everyone to the wedding feast! We are even specifically told that good and bad alike were to be invited. This is what scholars believe is the end of the first parable. The king (God) invites the religious elite, the shepherds of the Jews, to be united with his son, Jesus, and Jesus’ mission and ministry. However the chief priests, scribes, Pharisees all believe that God has already revealed all there is to know, there is no new revelation, certainly not from this Jesus person who is a thorn in their side! The religious elite try & try to stifle Jesus’ teachings just as they have over the years, killed many of the servants who spoke for God (prophets). God kept sending them invite after invite in the form of prophets who tried to bring the people back to covenant living. Bring them back to taking care of the marginalized and keeping God at the center of their lives. Yet the religious elite did not want to change their ways, life was too cozy for them. They don’t want share what extra they have with anyone.
God sends his servants (prophets and now disciples) to invite everyone no matter what life they have lead up until now, salvation is offered to everyone. All that is required is that they produce good fruit; live life according to the will of God, not their own will.
Now we come to the second parable in the gospel, Matthew 22: 11-14. The king (God) has just invited everyone to the wedding feast (salvation is for everyone) and now he throws someone out for not having the right clothes. This doesn't seem to fit with the parable Jesus just told and is why many presiders don’t read this part at liturgy. Clearly the king wouldn’t throw someone out because they aren’t wearing the nicest clothes, not when he just had them all collected off the streets, so something else must being going on. In scripture what you wear can be symbolic of what is in your heart and soul. When Jesus’ clothes turn dazzling white during the Transfiguration, it is showing us that Jesus is so one with God, that his exterior clothes turn white, the color of purity and of being in right relationship with God. In the second parale, the person was thrown out of the wedding feast because his exterior indicated that although he wants to be at the feast, he isn’t prepared to do what it takes to get there. He wants heaven but is not ready to follow the will of God to get there. This is something for each of us to reflect upon. If your exterior, clothes and such, was a reflection of your true interior spirituality, what would you look like?

Confirmation Enrollment Masses will be offered October 10th/11th during the Saturday 5pm and Sunday 8am, 10am and 12pm Masses. Because our worship space in church is restricted to 100 parishioners, families are to use SignUp Genius to sign up for a Mass on one of the weekends. As in the past, the Confirmation candidates will be acknowledged by the Church of St. Mary community, receive a blessing and submit their Confirmation Enrollment Promise (please print, fill out, sign, and bring with you to Mass) in the offertory basket. If you are not comfortable attending Mass in person at this point, you are encouraged to ‘attend’ Mass virtually from your home helping your child to engage in the prayer and blessing of our community and then drop off, scan or mail their signed Confirmation Enrollment Promise to the RE Office: 185 E. Illinois Rd. Lake Forest or religioused@churchofstmary.org.
Additionally during those 2 weekends, parishioners will be invited to visit the Church of St. Mary website slideshow to ‘randomly select,’ through a computer generated ‘randomizer’, one of our Confirmation candidate’s names to pray for them throughout this year of preparation. (In the past, parishioners chose a candidate’s name from a basket in church as they exited the Enrollment Masses.) Please encourage your family and friends to pray not only for your child, but perhaps for one or two of their classmates as well.

The Soup Kitchen at Most Blessed Trinity is still serving those in need, but on a “take out” basis. As we have for the last several months, we will prepare “brown bag suppers” for our guests again on October 16. Our packets contain a well-filled meat and cheese sandwich, bag of chips, granola bar, a piece of fruit, and a drink (water or juice). We will need between 75 and 90 meals, and would welcome contributions of:
- Loaves of sandwich bread, preferably whole wheat
- Ham or turkey
- Sliced cheddar, American, or Swiss cheese
- Individual bags of chips
- Granola bars
- Oranges, apples, tangerines
- Juice boxes or bottles/cans of water
Any and all contributions are welcome. Since the Parish Center is closed, we would ask that you deliver them to Ellen Tierney. Please contact Ellen if you need any additional information: at ellenkelly@comcast.net or (847.295.4649)

“My God will supply whatever you need...” PHILIPPIANS 4:19
God really does provide for those who are grateful and generous. This is very difficult for people that don’t live a stewardship lifestyle to believe. People are skeptical and say it’s just coincidence. If you are skeptical, try living a stewardship lifestyle for just one month – be generous with your gifts of time, talent and treasure and see how God provides for your needs.
