Mission Statement: Queen of Angels is a Christian Community joined in one Catholic Faith and nourished by the same sacramental life. We celebrate the diversity of our

people through our spiritual life, sharing of faith and knowledge, enjoyment of one another, the concern for human needs and the stewardship of all we have. We undertake this challenge as Disciples of Jesus guided by His word and strengthened by His love.

PACK 3894 ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT PANCAKE BREAKFAST IS TODAY! Get ready to eat all the pancakes your heart desires! Cub Scout Pack 3894’s Pancake Breakfast is from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. today, March 8 in the Lower Church.

and raffle for all ages. Tickets will be available at the door downstairs. Cost for this All-You-Can-Eat spectacular is $6 for adults, $4 for children over 2 years old and seniors over 60.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION FRIDAYS Queen of Angels offers Eucharistic Adoration in order to deepen our life of prayer. Exposition is from 9 to 10 a.m. in the adoration chapel each Friday after weekday Mass. At least two adorers must be present. Bring your thoughts and whatever helps you to pray quietly: your Rosary, favorite prayer cards, your Bible or other spiritual reading, or select from the adoration lending library. Call 773-539-7510.

GIRL SCOUT COOKIES AVAILABLE Girl Scout cookies are here and will be available after the 8 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Masses today, Sunday, March 8. Cost is $4 per box. Cash or checks accepted.

AFRAID TO COMMIT? WE’VE GOT THE CURE FOR YOU It’s never easy to say “yes” when one thinks of all the commitments already in our planners. Isn’t it amazing how easy it is to commit to dinner out with friends or a family event at the gym? Quite honestly, full participation at church is more than the Eucharist: it’s living the life with fellow parishioners. Here at Queen of Angels there are a wide variety of opportunities to cure “Commitment Fever,” the aversion to saying yes to matters of consequence.

We all see the requests from SPRED for adult catechists to step to the plate and make it possible for someone with physical, emotional or spiritual disabilities to share in the small faith life of a parish community. It requires 26 weeks of commitment, gives you the summer off and provides you with a great source of spiritual nourishment.

Yes, it’s great to make Sunday mornings your own but wouldn’t it be great to guide young people toward a personal relationship with Jesus? Teaching CCD can make that happen. Share your faith, prepare a lesson plan and greet those smiling faces to pray, laugh, teach and share. Several classes are in need of additional adult leaders for next school year. Classes are September through early May. Or consider being a Confirmation catechist from September through late January. Guide the discussion with a small group of middle school and high school students and share your faith. Make it a memorable growth and learning experience for all, including yourself.

The Society of St. Vincent dePaul meets the needs of the poor, one individual or family at a time. This grace-filled ministry meets once a month and provides resources, assistance and the occasional dollar to help people maintain or re-establish self-sufficiency. Join this group and you’ll be living the Beatitudes up close and personal.

Lectors and Ministers of Communion share the Word and Eucharist at Mass. It really doesn’t get any better than this. You perform your chosen function at the Mass you regularly attend, bringing the Scriptures and sharing Jesus with your fellow worshippers. It is a most prayerful experience.

The desire to avoid a commitment can often result in a bruised conscience and a reluctance to be part of a group. Even if you are a committed to the school, its events and fundraisers, don’t miss the chance for participating in the life of the broader parish. To embrace a commitment that does not directly benefit oneself or family members is an experience that teaches our children (and ourselves) to look at life beyond our personal sphere. Queen of Angels is ready to help you say “yes” and make a commitment that will make a world of difference. To volunteer, call the parish office at 773-539-7510.

I, the Lord, am your God… You shall not have other gods beside me. — Exodus 20:2a, 3

SPORTS AND SPIRITUALITY “Sports and Spirituality-Men’s Lenten Day of Reflection.” Join Fr. Kurt Boras and friends as they discuss the meaning of sports and spirituality in the life of contemporary Christian men. The event is 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 14 at St. Patrick Church, 200 E. Illinois St., Lemont. To register, call 630-852-9000.

SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT dePAUL REFLECTS: In today’s Gospel Jesus is asked, “What sign can you show us?” Every day we can see signs of how God has visited us in the blessings of our lives. Let us be a sign of God’s love by being a blessing to others. Is there a family you know who needs assistance? Please call the Parish Center and leave a message for the Society of St. Vincent dePaul so that together we can be a sign of God’s love to the suffering and poor.

ELECTRONICS RECYCLING EVENT Queen of Angels is sponsoring a school and parish Electronics Recycling Event next Sunday, March 15 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We are working with Vintage Tech to provide a secure and responsible mechanism for disposing of computer equipment and other electronics rather than sending them to a landfill. Drive up and drop off your electronics at the rear entrance of the church on Claremont where volunteers will be ready and waiting. Hard drives will be fully erased before disposal. Acceptable items include computers/laptops, monitors and peripherals; cell phones; mp3/iPods/PDAs; household electronics such as remotes, toasters, hair dryers, etc. Please note that old fashioned tube TVs and monitors can be recycled, but at a cost given the materials they contain. We are asking for a 35 cent per pound donation to offset this cost (a typical computer monitor would be $10, a TV could be much more). For a complete list of acceptable items which can be recycled, please check the website of Vintage Tech at vintagetechrecyclers.com/why-recycle-consumer/. Contact Todd Woelfl at toddwoelfl@live.com for more information.

LENTEN FOOD DRIVE In the spirit of Lenten sacrifice, please consider a donation to the St. Vincent dePaul Lenten Food Drive. Donations will be gratefully accepted in the gathering space through Saturday, March 21. The people we serve are especially grateful to receive: dried beans rice sanitary napkins dish liquid diapers canned tuna detergent cooking oil canned fruit toothpaste sugar breakfast cereals dried fruit pasta canned tomatoes We welcome checks and cash donations in the Poor Box that will be used for the wholesale purchase of fresh fruits and vegetables and toward grocery store certificates that can be used for fresh foods to improve the nutrition of the adults and children we serve. The Poor Box is located at the top of the main church stairwell, near the flags. Volunteers are needed to help sort and distribute donated items from 8 a.m. to 12 noon on Sunday, March 22. If you know of a family in need of assistance, please contact the parish office at 773-539-7510.

ATTENTION ALL DRIVERS Please do not block other cars in our parking lot with your car. If all of the designated spaces in the lot are full, it is necessary to find street parking. Thank you.

DESCANSE EN JESÚS ¿Qué dirían ustedes a Jesús si estuviera justo enfrente de ustedes? Díganlo en Adoración Eucarística. Dios es real y está presente. Dios está completamente presente en el Santísimo Sacramento. Reina de los Ángeles ofrece Adoración Eucarística para que podamos de la “fuente y cumbre” de nuestra fe. La Adoración del Santísimo toma lugar después de la Misa de la mañana cada viernes, desde las 9 hasta las 10 a.m. en la capilla de adoración. Al menos dos adoradores deben estar presentes. Favor de contactar a la oficina parroquial al 773-539-3176.

ESTACIONES DE LA CRUZ Únase a nosotros a las 7:30 p.m. los viernes durante la cuaresma para compartir las Estaciones de la Cruz (Viacrucis) en español, continuando este Viernes, 13 de Marzo. Las Estaciones de la Cruz en ingles empiezan primero a las 6:30 p.m. Esta meditación a través de la oración permite a los participantes sentirse parte de la multitud reunida durante las últimas horas de la vida de Jesús. Concéntrese en las oraciones, estudio de las Estaciones y sienta el aislamiento y soledad de Cristo durante este tiempo doloroso y ultimadamente triunfante. Muchos católicos que atendieron las Estaciones de la Cruz en su niñez recuerdan que repetidamente tenían que arrodillarse y levantarse durante la meditación. Haga una resolución de cuaresma el experimentar las Estaciones de la Cruz como un adulto. Comparta las Estaciones como familia y hágalo un tema de discusión cuando se reúnan a la mesa para cenar. Ayude a sus niños – o deje que ellos lo ayuden a usted – a experimentar la gracia y paz que viene de sentirse en el momento en las Estaciones de la Cruz.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El Nuevo Testamento nos asegura que Jesús comprende nuestra naturaleza humana (Hebreos 2:17-18). Él sabe bien lo que es ser humano porque, según la doctrina cristiana, siendo verdaderamente Dios, es humano plena y verdaderamente. Tanto amó Dios al mundo que tomó totalmente nuestra condición humana. Según el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica esto lo hizo para salvarnos del pecado, sanarnos de la enfermedad o muerte, mostrarnos su amor, ser nuestro modelo de santidad y hacernos partícipes de su divinidad. Estamos hechos a imagen y semejanza de Dios, pero el pecado opaca esta imágen. Como una muestra del amor del Padre, el Hijo se encarnó por obra del Espíritu Santo en el seno de María Virgen, para así renovar en nosotros la imágen de Dios y llevarnos nuevamente a la inocencia original. Dios es Trino y Uno, tres personas en un sólo Dios. El ser humano también es trino. Cuerpo, alma y espíritu (1 Tesalonicenses 5:23) forman una sola persona que es corporal, reflexiva y trascendente. Así como el Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo trabajan juntos, el cuerpo, alma y espíritu de la persona buscan colaborar para seguir al Hijo de Dios que se hizo uno de nosotros.

CAMINO A LA LIBERTAD La mayoría de nosotros, si nos preguntaran “¿Aparece la frase ‘los Diez Mandamientos’ en la Biblia?” daríamos la respuesta errónea, pues la respuesta es “no”. “Los diez mandamientos” es una frase post‑bíblica, que se desarrolló junto con una imagen de Dios como ‘policía’ la cual no se encuentra en el pasaje de hoy del libro del Éxodo. La primera frase es clave: Dios es el que nos sacó de la esclavitud; cumplir las leyes o mandamientos de Dios es nuestro camino a la libertad. Los cambistas a quienes Jesús echó del templo no estaban violando ninguno de los mandamientos, pero tampoco estaban ayudando a la gente a encontrar el camino hacia la libertad de Dios cuando llegaban al Templo a rezar. Esta es una lección de la Cuaresma importante para nosotros. Tenemos que dejar de preguntarnos si estamos o no violando alguna regla o reglamento específico, y en cambio examinar nuestra vida para ver si verdaderamente estamos siguiendo un camino hacia la libertad de Dios por medio de Cristo.
