Two candle racks are in the rear corners of the church, near the statues of St. Therese and St. Gerard. These are memorial candles which may be lit in memory of a de-ceased loved one as a visible reminder for us to pray for and remember them. The candle will be lit for a period of one year. The name of the deceased is placed below each candle. The offering for the year is $200, and is renewable each year. If you would like to have one of these candles lit in someone’s memory, please contact the Parish Office.

M other’s Day blessings to all of our mothers, grandmothers, and godmothers! This week-end we offer all of our masses for our living and deceased moms. We are blessed to belong to a parish named in honor of the Mother of God and placed under her protection and intercession. We have several beautiful images of Mary in the church. In the vestibule is a carved image of Mary giving the Rosary to St. Dominic, and in the main body of the church there is a beautiful icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, a picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and a statue of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. But one of the crown-ing glories of the church is the marble statue of Mary and the Child Jesus standing at the back of the center aisle. These beautiful images come from varied cultures, and all express a love and devotion for our Mother, whom the Second Vatican Council called the “Mother of the Church.” In the East, she is called the “Theotokos,” or “God-bearer,” and is always represented in icons rather than statues. The ever more familiar image of Our Lady of Gua-dalupe comes to us, of course, from Mexico, where Mary is venerated very devoutly. Mexicans have brought their de-votion to the U.S., and Mary’s feast on Dec. 12 has become one of the largest celebrations of Mary each year. Our devotion to Mary goes back to the foot of the Cross, when Jesus said to Mary, “behold your son,” and to John, “behold your mother.” John 19:26-27 In all of the reported and confirmed apparitions of Mary, she has directed us to Jesus, and never to herself. In fact, in four of the five images of Mary in our church, she is holding the Child Jesus, and in the fifth, she is carrying Him in her womb.

The month of May is traditionally devoted to Mary. The Rosary is a fruitful way of praying and meditating on the mysteries of the life of Jesus. It is Scripture-based. For ex-ample, the five Joyful Myster-ies: the Anunciation, Visita-tion, Nativity, Presentation, and Finding in the Temple, are taken directly from the first two chapters of Luke’s Gospel. A s a way of honoring Mary, the beautiful statue in the rear of the center aisle will be relocated to the sanctuary of the church – in front, near the altar, along with St. Joseph, whose place was taken by St. Gerard. The presence of these images of the saints in church is most appropriate. When we celebrate the mass, we believe that we are joining the Heavenly Liturgy, where all the heavenly court worship the Risen Jesus, the Lamb. Our liturgy echoes the description of the liturgy of Heaven in the Book of Revela-tion, where the angels and saints, gathered before the throne of the Lamb, cry out “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.” Sound familiar? “We join the angels and saints in their triumphant hymn of praise.” So begins the Eucharistic Prayer in the Mass. N ext Saturday, our parishioner Matthew Alexan-der will be ordained a priest. The following day, he will offer his First Mass at 11:30. What a joy for our parish and for Matthew’s parents, Bob and Carrie, and his sisters and extended family. Please plan to join us for the Mass and a reception after-wards in the gym. The next day, parishioner Keith Strohm will be or-dained to the diaconate, and he will serve as a dea-con here at QR. Congratulations to Keith and his wife Debbie and their daughter Siena. Keith will as-sist at Mass and preach the following weekend at the 11:30 Mass, and there will be a light reception in the vestibule of the church. Please join us in greeting them on these very special days. God bless you,

On April 22, Mrs. McCarthy’s preschoolers celebrated Earth Day with their sixth grade buddies. Putting their imagination to work, the students used items rescued from the trash to create one-of-a-kind bird houses.

The 2014-15 Recycle Rally contest ended on April 28. In May, we will be notified if we were one of the top ten schools in the small school category. Many thanks to our parishioners who have gone out of their way to bring in cans and bottles and Mike Clausen for helping with sorting, weighing, and bagging the containers. Through the combined efforts of many, we collected and recycled over 95,000 bottles and cans. By recycling beverage containers through the Recycle Rally, we continue to help PepsiCo support post-9/11 U.S. Veterans with disabilities through its partnership with the Entrepreneurship for Veterans with Disabilities (EVD).

Religious Education A Catechetical Minute Here’s an excerpt from the article on “angels” in The Catholic Ency-clopedia: ANGELS (Latin angelus; Greek aggelos; from the Hebrew for "one going" or "one sent"; messenger). The word is used in Hebrew to denote indifferently either a divine or hu-man messenger. The Septuagint renders it by aggelos which also has both significations. The Latin version, however, distinguishes the divine or spirit-messenger from the human, rendering the original in the one case by angelus and in the other by legatus or more generally by nuntius. In a few passages the Latin version is misleading, the word angelus be-ing used where nuntius would have better expressed the mean-ing, e.g. Isaiah 18:2; 33:3, 6. It is with the spirit-messenger alone that we are here concerned. We have to discuss -the meaning of the term in the Bible, -the offices of the angels, -the names assigned to the angels, -the distinction between good and evil spirits, -the divisions of the angelic choirs, -the question of angelic appear- ances, and -the development of the scriptural idea of angels. The angels are represented throughout the Bible as a body of spiritual beings intermediate be-tween God and men: "You have made him (man) a little less than the angels" (Psalm 8:6). They, equally with man, are created be-ings; "praise ye Him, all His angels:

praise ye Him, all His hosts . . . for He spoke and they were made. He commanded and they were created" (Psalm 148:2, 5: Colossians 1:16, 17). That the angels were created was laid down in the Fourth Lateran Council (1215). The decree "Firmiter" against the Albigenses declared both the fact that they were created and that men were created after them. This decree was repeated by the Vatican Council, "Dei Fil-ius". We mention it here because the words: "He that liveth for ever created all things together" (Ecclesiasticus 18:1) have been held to prove a simultaneous crea-tion of all things; but it is generally conceded that "together" (simul) may here mean "equally", in the sense that all things were "alike" created. They are spirits; the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews says: "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister to them who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?" (Heb. i, 14). God's Messengers to Mankind But these glimpses of life beyond the veil are only occasional. The angels of the Bible generally appear in the role of God's messengers to mankind. They are His instru-ments by whom He communicates His will to men, and in Jacob's vision they are depicted as ascending and descending the ladder which stretches from earth to heaven while the Eternal Father gazes upon the wanderer below. It was an angel who found Agar in the wilderness (Gen., xvi); angels drew Lot out of Sodom; an an-gel announces to Gideon that he is to save his people; an angel foretells the birth of Samson (Judges, xiii), and the angel Gabriel instructs Daniel (Dan., viii, 16), though he is not called an angel in either of these passages, but "the man Gabriel" (9:21). The same heavenly spirit announced the birth of St. John the Baptist and the Incar-nation of the Redeemer, while tradition ascribes to him both the message to the shepherds (Luke, ii, 9), and the most glorious mission of all, that of strengthening the King of Angels in His Agony (Luke 22:43). The spiritual nature of the angels is manifested very clearly in the account which Zacharias gives of the revelations be-stowed upon him by the ministry of an angel. The prophet depicts the angel as speaking "in him". He seems to imply that he was conscious of an interior voice which was not that of God but of His messenger. The Massoretic text, the Septuagint, and the Vulgate all agree in thus describing the communications made by the angel to the prophet. It is a pity that the "Revised Version" should, in apparent defiance of the above-named texts, obscure this trait by persistently giving the rendering: "the angel that talked with me: instead of "within me" (cf. Zach., i, 9, 13, 14; ii, 3; iv, 5; v, 10). The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 1, www.ccel.org. Website of the Week The Christian Classics Ethereal Library is an amazing online resource.

Ask a Priest Q: I want to incorporate the Bible more into my daily prayer life, but I am not sure how to do it. I often get lost or distracted as I read through pas-sages, and I feel that jumping around from book to book is confusing as well. Any suggestions as to how I can pray with the Bible? A: First off, I want to commend you on your en-deavor. It is a stereotypical comment in religious circles that Catholics are ‘so biblically illiterate.’ The only way we will be able to shake that stereotype is if we incorporate the Bible more and more into our daily lives. As you have already observed, the Bible is a compli-cated organism. The Bible is not a single book, but rather an anthology. It was written by myriad au-thors, over several hundreds of years, all with di-verse experiences of culture, custom, socio-economic stresses, and theology. When we say that the text is divinely inspired, we do not mean that it fell out of the sky one day in its completed form! Inspiration means that God stirred the hearts and minds of these various authors to use their talents and gifts to explain in their own circumstances the movement of God in their lives. There are several different ways to pray with the Bible, but for the sake of brevity, let me focus on just one; Lectio Divina (Sacred Reading). Lectio Divina is a four-step process which is very effective for use in both the Old and New Testament. It is effective for all types of people; the beginners on the journey of faith, the mystics on the top of the mountain, and everyone in between. All you need is a comfortable chair, a good translation of the Bible (I recommend the RSV or NRSV), and at least thirty minutes of free time (this is more than enough for beginners, but as you gain more practice, try to add more time). The first step is lectio (reading). We start by saying a little prayer to God, saying thanks that we have this opportunity to grow in our faith, and asking that He guides our eyes and minds to focus on the passage, phrase, or word which will nourish us this day. We then open our Bibles and begin to read. If you want, you can start at Genesis, chapter 1, or on the first chapter of any other book. You could con-tinue reading from where you left off the day before, or you could just randomly open your Bible and start reading! Pay attention as you continue read-ing, and as soon as you reach a word or a phrase you feel particularly drawn or attracted to, stop. You now enter into phase two, meditatio.

In meditatio (meditation), we repeat the word or phrase over and over in our minds. We allow it to sink in, and savor it. Allow God to work on your mind, intellect, and reason to help you apply the word or phrase to your particular life situation. Don’t force the prayer, but allow God to lead you to new insights and meanings. Pay attention to the thoughts and feelings that are being stirred up. If nothing seems to be happening, just be patient! As soon as you feel that you have drawn all that you can from this word, you can move on to oratio. In oratio (prayer response), we enter into a sponta-neous, loving dialogue with God. We talk to God as to an intimate friend. We are totally honest with God about what we are thinking and feeling. After listening to God in meditatio, now we make a per-sonal response to the Word of God as it has just been revealed to us. Express your response through praise, thanksgiving, contrition, or petition. When this dialogue is finished, we move on to contempla-tio. In contemplatio (contemplation), go back to the word or phrase. Simply repeat it over and over, and then rest for a time in loving silence. Close your eyes, breathe in through your nose, and out through your mouth. If distracting thoughts or feelings pop into your mind (did I remember to close the ga-rage?!), simply return once again to your word or phrase until the thought passes. Just be present to God; there is nothing you have to do or accomplish. Invite God to speak to you, or to simply be present with you in the silence. Trust in God’s presence and work in your live, even if you don’t feel like anything is happening. After completing the four steps, you can stop and end your time of prayer. Of course, if the entire process took only a few minutes, or if you have more free time available, you can continue reading the Bi-ble passage until you find yourself drawn to the next word or phrase. At this point, you repeat steps one through four, allowing God to open your heart and mind once again through the method of Lectio Di-vina. If you have any questions or comments that you would like answered, please submit them to FrMike@qotr.org Peace,

Calling all readers! Queen of the Rosary will begin a spiri-tual/faith based book club for adults. A variety of book genres will be discussed over time in order to grow in our rela-tionship with God. We will meet once a month for open discussion and fellow-ship. The first book we will read is Life’s Greatest Lesson by Allen R. Hunt. It was given to parishioners as a Christmas gift last December. Our first meeting to dis-cuss this book will be on Monday, June 1 at 7:00pm in the Parish Office. If you are interested in attending, please contact Keith Strohm at 847-437-0403 or at keithstrohm@qotr.org so that we can reserve a spot for you. Please let us know if you need a copy of Life’s Great-est Lessons when you register.

AFC Family Hours & More The principle outreach of the Apostolate for Family Consecration (AFC) is the Be Not Afraid Family Hours, inspired by Mother Teresa. It is meant to bring the family as a unit, closer to God, the parish community and the Church through a series of videos, produced at the AFC headquarters, a 950-acre center in Bloomingdale, Ohio called Catholic Familyland. You are invited to join these Be Not Afraid Family Hours at Queen of the Rosary Parish, this month on the 3rd Monday (May 18, 2015) at 7:00 PM in the church. Each series of 9 videos includes a theme. This time, we con-tinue the series on “Healing Through Consecration”. The visual aids are great for the children, and each family can learn and pray together. Singles and every person of any age are invited too. We look forward to seeing you on May 18th at 7:00 PM here at Queen of the Rosary in the church. For further information, please contact Chuck or Alice Hunt at (630) 529-8519 or Betsy Christensen at 847-640-1241.
