THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME OCTOBER 27, 2019

PUT NOTHING BEFORE MY LOVE FOR YOU After being away on my silent retreat with the Institute for Priestly Formation at Mundelein Seminary (and a little pre-retreat run around), I am so happy to come back to find that our parish has our annual Eucharistic Devotions/40 Hours beginning this Friday, November 1st at the 10:00 a.m. Mass with our day school children leading the procession and closing Sunday, November 3rd at the 6:30 p.m. Vespers with Fr. James Kulway. In all my years of Priesthood, I have never seen a parish celebrate 40 Hours like we do. Some might wonder what I mean by such a bold statement. Well, it’s not that I’m saying we have more of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, it’s just that Eucharistic Devotions is a hallmark for our parish. We show up for it! If you belong to Saint Francis de Sales Parish then you know we make it a priority to set aside all other things to make certain we can participate in some part of these holy hours.

The origins of Eucharistic Adoration are not well known. One of the first references to reserving the Blessed Sacrament for Adoration is from the life of St. Basil the Great in the late fourth century. It is said that St. Basil divided the consecrated Eucharistic Bread into three parts during the Liturgy at his monastery. One part he consumed himself; the second was given to the monks; and the third portion was placed in a Golden Dove suspended above the Altar. It seems likely that this reserved portion was kept for those who were unable to attend the Liturgy because of illness or travel. When people found out about this, they felt inclined to come and pray more often there.

The practice of Eucharistic Adoration among laypeople is thought to have grown in popularity in Avignon, France, on September 11, 1226. King Louis VII, having just won a victory over the Albigensians, asked that the Blessed Sacrament be placed on display at the Chapel of the Holy Cross. This exposition was so popular that the local bishop asked to have it continue indefinitely. Pope Honorius III gave his consent and the practice continued, nearly uninterrupted, until the French Revolution in 1792. The longest-running Eucharistic Adoration in the United States is with the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in La Crosse, Wisconsin, who have been praying nonstop for more than 130 years. Our parish has gathered together in the hundreds for our Eucharistic Devotions since we first started it. When I first came here, I was in awe over the reverence and seriousness by which parishioners came, especially for the closing Vespers. I remember telling my Mom when I became pastor, “Oh please God, don’t let me blow it by messing around with 40 Hours...that is the real testament of the life of our parish.” Since then we have even grown, for now we have Eucharistic Adoration available every weekday.

I was given a book by a couple who knew of my love for Adoration that is called In Sinu Jesu: When Heart Speaks To Heart (written anonymously by a monk). It is an amazing book that offers reflections that the author says come from the Heart of Jesus for my heart and yours. Pray with these words when you come for Adoration next weekend:

“You have only to prefer My company to every other companionship, the love of My Heart to the love of every other heart, and the sound of My voice in the silence of your soul to every other voice...You have only to abide close to Me, to seek Me before all else, and to put nothing whatsoever before My love for you and the love I have placed in your heart to love Me in return... It is enough to remain with Me, content to be in My presence as I am content to be in yours. Adore Me and trust Me to restore your energy, your health, and your joy in My service...To adore Me is to demonstrate that all your hope is in Me. To adore Me is to show Me that you count not on yourself nor on others, but on Me alone. To adore Me is to give Me the freedom to act within you and upon you in such a way as to unite you wholly to myself as you have asked Me to do: My Heart to your heart, My Soul to your soul, My Body to your body, My Blood to your blood... there is no work more precious than this work...I have not called you to build nor to organize, nor have I called you to speak much, nor have I called you to appear much in the sight of men. I have called you to a life as hidden as is My life in the Sacrament of My Love. Consent to be hidden. Let Me hide you as you hide Me in the tabernacle. My Heart is your tabernacle, and you are My host.” Pax, Fr. Bline

Young people from 5th grade through high school are invited to serve in the Altar Server Ministry at St. Francis de Sales. This Ministry is a unique one in the Catholic Church and the altar server fulfills a very important role at Mass. When you serve the priests and deacons, you serve the people of God, and above all, you serve Christ our Savior. Training will take place mid-November and families will be notified by email. Our 5th-8th grade students serve at our weekday Masses and the 9th-12th graders at weekend Masses. A registration form is on the next page, or can be found at the school, at PSR or on our website at www.stfparish.com. Questions? Contact Mrs. Ott at [email protected].

The closer you are to the altar, the more you will remember to speak with Jesus in daily prayer; the more you will be nourished by the word and the body of the Lord, the better able you will be to go out to others, bringing them the gift that you have received, giving in turn with enthusiasm the joy you have received.

EVERYONE… MARK YOUR CALENDARS!Join us for Parish Family Night on Saturday, November 16th from 6-9:00 p.m. in the gym. Bring a board game and a snack to share. Some refreshments will be provided. A DJ will be playing music in the gym and we will be playing board games and cards in the refectory.

PIZZA BOX MINISTRYIt’s that time of the year again – the college students have left for school or to an apartment. We, as a parish, want to stay connected to our young adults, so if you know of a student leaving home for the first time or going back to campus, please call the Parish Office (330-644-2225) with their name and address. The Women of Faith will send them a “Pizza Box” later this fall filled with food for the body, mind and spirit. They will feel the love of Jesus and His Church when they receive their pizza box.

PLEASE PRAY FOR VOCATIONSThe list of volunteers to receive the Vocation Crucifix has dwindled. We would be so grateful if you would call the parish office to arrange to take the Crucifix and pray for an increase of vocations. With Father Bline heading to the seminary to serve as Spiritual Director for the young men in formation, our prayers are needed more than ever. Ann and Doug Coutts received the crucifix this weekend. Please call the parish office at 330-644-2225 to have your name added to the list.

DINO – ST. KEVIN MEMORIALThe plaque for the Green Dinosaur in the playground has arrived and will be (or may already be) erected on the fence behind Dino.

Eucharistic Devotions weekend begins Friday, November 1st with the opening All Saints Day Mass at 10:00 a.m. and continues through closing Vespers with Benediction on Sunday, November 3rd at 6:30 p.m.

...he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When it was evening he was there alone. – Matthew 14:23

Prayer is as important to our souls as food is for our bodies and yet we can find so many excuses not to pray, not to participate in Eucharistic Adoration. What, of all the many and wonderful things you do each day, is more important than time spent with Jesus? Just as Jesus needed time in silent prayer, we need it too (maybe, in our lives full of busyness and distractions, we need it more!) Fr. Benedict Groeschel writes in the his book, “In the Presence of Our Lord” that there are “four kinds of prayer most appropriate in the presence of the Eucharist, namely adoration and praise, thanksgiving, repentance and trusting intercession.” In light of this, here are some suggestions (and they are only suggestions – sometimes simply sitting in His awesome presence is enough): • Ask the Holy Spirit to be with you as you pray

In the same way, the Spirit too comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes with

inexpressible groanings. Romans 8:26• Meditate using Scripture – read the words, what strikes you? Ask God what He wants you to receive from this reading• Spiritual reading - remember the goal is to connect with God - not necessarily finish the book. If you find you have only read one page

in an hour, that is what God intended you to receive.• Journal – journal to God as a way of connecting with Him - who are you called to be with today? God the Father? God the Son? God

the Holy Spirit?• Pray the Psalms, Liturgy of the Hours, the Rosary • Give God your everything – open yourself up to Him, for He is waiting to receive all you can give Him, your joys and sadness, your

wounds and your insecurities, your hopes and your joys• Ask for forgiveness and intercede for others

Sign-ups for individual holy hours are in narthex of the Church. You are also encouraged to come and spend time with our Lord anytime from the opening Mass Friday through the closing celebration Sunday.
