7 KENOSHA CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

Enrolling your child in St. Joseph Catholic Academy is an investment that will last a lifetime. From preschool through high school, SJCA provides not only strong academic formation, but even more im- portantly, SJCA builds students with strong moral values, a commitment to God and a passion for serving others. Our high school students note why SJCA is special to them.

• “The most important lesson I've learned is to be accountable. We are taught to work hard and become respectful individuals and make a difference for us and to others in the world. - Kyle, Class of 2020 • “The people make SJCA special to me. A smaller community makes it almost impossible to not get to know everyone and thus makes stronger bonds with each other.” - Daniel, Class of 2021 • "St. Joe’s has given me an environment where I am challenged and also where I can learn more about my faith.” -Elizabeth, Class of 2022 • “SJCA is special to me because everyone is very loving and welcom- ing.” – Makayla, Class of 2023

To learn more about St. Joseph Catholic Academy, please contact the Admissions Department at [email protected], call (262) 654-8651 extension 104, or visit the school website at www.sjcawi.org

SEE WHAT OUR ASCS FAMILIES HAVE TO SAY ABOUT OUR ASCS TEACHERS… “I thought ASCS did an outstanding job with e- learning. I know this was very unexpected and our teachers rose to the occasion. Their emails were informative; they were always available when I needed to email/call them with a question. They made homework fun. They gave support to parents. All 3 of my kids’ teachers gave support in emails to let me know I was doing a great job. It was so nice to get those types of emails. I was so proud to be a part of a school that cares so much. I LOVE this school. This is why I send my kids here, it’s more than a school it’s a family.” We would love for you to join our ASCS family. Our doors will be open in the fall to provide an outstanding, Catholic education for your children! (3 year-old Preschool through 8th grade.) Call today-space is limited.

ORACION DE COMUNION ESPIRITUAL

Creo, Jesús mío, que estás verdaderamente presente ahora y siempre porque con el Padre y el Espíritu Santo eres Dios, y Dios está por todos lados en todo momento. Pero por tu grandeza y los límites de mis cinco sentidos no puedo siempre reconocer y sentir tu presencia. Necesito señales que me hagan sentir tu presencia. Y la señal más poderosa para mi es el momento en que comulgo, cuando recibo tu Cuerpo y Sangre en Comunión.

Pero no puedo recibir Comunión en este momento por la Pandemia que estamos sufriendo. Por eso te pido que me ayudes a sentir más profundamente en este momento de Comunión espiritual – y, por favor en otros minutos -- tu presencia, tu amor, tu apoyo en mis dificultades y tentaciones, tu perdón de mis fallas. Y ahora, como si ya te hubiera recibido, me uno y me abrazo todo a ti. No permitas, Señor, que jamás me separe de ti.

Anima Christi Alma de Cristo, santifícame. Cuerpo de Cristo, sálvame. Sangre de Cristo, embriágame. Agua del costado de Cristo, lávame. Pasión de Cristo, confórtame. ¡Oh, buen Jesús!, óyeme. Dentro de tus llagas, escóndeme. No permitas que me aparte de Ti. Del maligno enemigo, defiéndeme En la hora de mi muerte, llámame. Y mándame ir a Ti. Para que con tus santos te alabe. Por los siglos de los siglos. Amén

An Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that you are truly present with me always, for with the Father and the Holy Spirit, you are God, present everywhere at every moment. But because of your greatness and the limits of these five senses I have, I need some signs of your presence in order to sense it. The most powerful sign of your presence for me is the moment I receive you your Body and Blood in Holy Communion.

I cannot receive you that way now because of this pandemic, so I ask you to help me in this moment of spiritual Communion – and please in other moments as well – to feel your presence, your love, your forgiveness of my failings, your support in my difficulties, and temptations. I embrace you as if I had just received you sacramentally and unite myself wholly to you. Never let me be separated from you.

Anima Christi Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, fill all my veins. Water from the side of Christ, wash out my stains. Passion of Christ, my comfort be. Good Jesus, listen to me. In Thy wounds, I fain would hide, Never to be parted from Thy side. Guard me, should the foe assail me. Call me when my life shall fail me. Bid me come to Thee above, With Thy saints to sing they love For ever and ever. Amen!

R. The Lord will not abandon his people. FIRST READING

IS 10, 5-7. 13-16 A reading from the Book of the prophet Isaiah And they say, “The LORD sees not; the God of Jacob perceives not.” Thus says the LORD: Understand, you senseless ones among the people; Woe to Assyria! My rod in anger, and, you fools, when will you be wise? my staff in wrath. Against an impious nation I send him, R. The Lord will not abandon his people. and against a people under my wrath I order him To seize plunder, carry off loot, Shall he who shaped the ear not hear? and tread them down like the mud of the streets. or he who formed the eye not see? But this is not what he intends, Shall he who instructs nations not chastise, nor does he have this in mind; he who teaches men knowledge? Rather, it is in his heart to destroy, to make an end of nations not a few. R. The Lord will not abandon his people.

For he says: For the LORD will not cast off his people, “By my own power I have done it, nor abandon his inheritance; and by my wisdom, for I am shrewd. But judgment shall again be with justice, I have moved the boundaries of peoples, and all the upright of heart shall follow it. their treasures I have pillaged, and, like a giant, I have put down the enthroned. R. The Lord will not abandon his people. My hand has seized like a nest the riches of nations; As one takes eggs left alone, R.
