Today’s Readings First Reading — I will lead the people to brooks of wa-

ter, on a level road, so that none shall stumble (Jeremiah

31:7-9).

Psalm — The Lord has done great things for us; we are

filled with joy (Psalm 126).

Second Reading — It was not Christ who glorified him-

self, but rather the one who said to him: You are my son:

this day I have begotten you (Hebrews 5:1-6).

Gospel — Immediately the blind man received his sight

and followed Jesus on the way (Mark 10:46-52). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997, Interna-tional Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved.

The Hope and Promise of Redemption The prophet Jeremiah prophesies the end of the Babylonian

exile. He describes how the weak and sorrowful people now

return with joy. These are the scattered people of God: the

blind and the lame, the mothers and pregnant women. They

shall be led along an easy road so that no one will stumble.

The Lord’s kindness and mercy are on all these weak and

broken people.

Here and in Psalm 126 we find the most lovely poetic imag-

es of God’s love and care for us. “Those that sow in tears /

shall reap rejoicing. Although they go forth weeping, / car-

rying the seed to be sown, / they shall come back rejoic-

ing, / carrying their sheaves” (Psalm 126:5–6). Although

God had to punish Israel for their many sins, God never

forgot them, scattered as they were, and brings them all

back to the land of their ancestors, there to flourish and be

joyful again. We can see in this the hope and the promise

of our own redemption, gathered from the far corners of the

earth into the great banquet of God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

We are in need of helpers and substitute

teachers for Religious Education, Training will be pro-

vided. Please call Sandra at the Parish Office: 708-895-6700.

morning Mass. Join us as we pray to the Blessed Mother and meditate

on the mysteries of the Rosary.

Fourth Grade • Mrs. MacFarlane

sas

Our Fourth Graders are

“batty for bats” in October

as they enjoy bat-themed

STEAM activities all

month. Students had the

chance to examine speci-

mens of real bats and a bat

skeleton on loan from the Field Museum. They also

leaned about animal classification, followed the migration

paths of some African bats, learned about bats native to

Illinois, and compared the bone structure of bats to birds

and humans. For some extra fun, they even wrote poetry

about bats, created bat art models, and experimented with

pulleys in order to make the model bats “fly.”

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ENDS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4 AT 2:00 A.M.
