St. Mary’s Catholic Church ƒ 519 EastOBLATES Fourth OF THE VIRGIN Alton, MARY Illinois www.stmarysalton.com St. Mary’s Learning and Living Our Catholic Faith Catholic Church My dear Brothers and Sisters in Holy Lent, ALTON, ILLINOIS Maximus the Confessor was a Byzantine Monk and Theologian who lived in 7th Century Constantinople. What follows is "A Treatise on Charity" in which he THE FIRST SUNDAY ponders the truth, that without love, everything is in vain. It's a beautiful and powerful contemplation to consider, as we ask the Lord to purify our hearts OF LENT and motives at the beginning of Lent. God bless you. MARCH 1, 2020 – Fr Jeremy OMV "Charity is a right attitude of mind which prefers nothing to the knowledge of God. If a man possesses any strong attachment to the things of this earth, he MASS INTENTIONS cannot possess true charity. For anyone who really loves God prefers to know Monday, March 2 and experience God rather than his creatures. The whole set and longing of his mind is ever directed towards him. 6:30 am Int of Jeanne Schwegel For God is far superior to all his creation, since everything which exists has 8:00 am Mary Forgas† been made by God and for him. And so, in deserting God, who is beyond compare, for the inferior works of creation, a man shows that he values God, Tuesday, March 3 the author of creation, less than creation itself. 6:30 am Dorothy Zipprich† The Lord himself reminds us: Whoever loves me will keep my commandments. 8:00 am Bill & Helen Frederick† And this is my commandment: that you love one another. So the man who does not love his neighbour does not obey God’s command. But one who does not Wednesday, March 4 obey his command cannot love God. A man is blessed if he can love all men 6:30 am Religious Vocations equally. Moreover, if he truly loves God, he must love his neighbour absolutely. Such a man cannot hoard his wealth. Rather, like God himself, he generously 8:00 am Margaret Sugent† gives from his own resources to each man according to his needs. Thursday, March 5 Since he imitates God’s generosity, the only distinction he draws is the person’s 6:30 am Rev. Peter Peters† need. He does not distinguish between a good man and a bad one, a just man and one who is unjust. Yet his own goodness of will makes him prefer the man 8:00 am Capt. Jacob who strives after virtue to the one who is depraved. Ringering† A charitable mind is not displayed simply in giving money; it is manifested still Friday, March 6 more by personal service as well as by the communication of God’s word to 6:30 am Int of Roger Kamp others. In fact, if a man’s service towards his brothers is genuine and if he really 8:15 am Neil Schofield† renounces worldly concerns, he is freed from selfish desires. For he now shares in God’s own knowledge and love. Since he does possess God’s love, he does 5:15 pm OMV Vocations not experience weariness as he follows the Lord his God. Rather, following the Saturday, March 7 prophet Jeremiah, he withstands every type of reproach and hardship without even harbouring an evil thought towards any man. 6:30 am Pro-Life Efforts For Jeremiah warns us: Do not say: “We are the Lord’s temple.” Neither should 8:00 am Int of Mary Fitzgerald you say: “Faith alone in our Lord Jesus Christ can save me.” By itself faith 5:15 pm Int of Melissa & Andy accomplishes nothing. For even the devils believe and shudder. Woulfe No, faith must be joined to an active love of God which is expressed in good Sunday, March 8 works. The charitable man is distinguished by sincere and long-suffering service to his fellow man: it also means using things aright." 6:30 am Joan Fitzgerald† 8:00 am The People of St. Mary’s TRIBUNAL ADVOCATE / ANNULMENT TRAINING 9:30 am Int of Marian & James The Springfield Diocese will be offering Tribunal Advocate Training for new and Elmendorf continuing Advocates. Advocates assist people and the pastor in the completion 11:00 am Int of Mike & Terry of the annulment process. These training sessions will be held in two mandatory sessions in Springfield.
