St. Jerome Catholic Church Scripture Verse When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by demons. The whole town was gathered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, not permitting them to speak because they knew him. - Mk 1:32-34 Vision Statement To love the Lord with all our hearts, minds and souls and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Benediction is at 6:00 pm. At 6:15 pm Stations of the Cross begin, which helps us reflect on the passion and death of Jesus. Stations of the Cross will be read by the following groups each week: Feb 16 – Men of St. Jerome (MOSTJ); Feb 23 – The Women’s Society – Stations of the Cross from Mary’s View; Mar 3 – MOSTJ; Mar 9 – Knights of Columbus (Fish Dinner); Mar 16 – Waco Catholic Moms; Mar 23 – Senior Youth Group - Mime Stations; Mar 30 – 3PM Good Friday – MOSTJ - Fr. Raj Reflection. After Stations the group responsible for the Stations of the Cross each week will put on a Lenten Supper in Jordan Hall. All are invited and urged to come to these devotions. R.C.I.A. Redemptive Suffering—Every pain we endure with love, every cross borne with resignation, benefits every man, woman, and child in the Mystical Body of Christ. Those who are chosen to bear a greater portion of suffering than others are called by God to heal the souls of many whose lives are bereft of the knowledge and love of God. Redemptive Suffering not only helps poor sinners directly by suffering for them but edifies and consoles good and holy souls as they journey through life striving for holiness. This dual role of Redemptive Suffering merits for those chosen by God for such a role, a glory and hap- piness in the Kingdom beyond our concepts or imagination. Like Jesus, their sufferings, united to His, rise to Heaven and obtain grace and repentance for those who are straying from God and His Love. Class Topic 2/7: Psychology & Theology – Redemptive suffering – Annulments Baptism Class Jordan Hall, 6:30pm. Classes are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month.
