SPIRIT of Saint Ann Catholic Parish 3010 Ridge Road, Lansing, IL 60438 ESTABLISHED IN 1913 708-895-6700 Coming Events…. FEAST OF FAITH NFL Playoff Party, Jan 23, 2011 The Sign of the Cross…

Catholic Schools Week, Jan 30 - Feb 4 t the beginning of our prayer, we make the sign of the cross together. A This sign, simple and powerful, operates on many levels. We trace the Pot of Gold Party, Mar 12, 2011 sign of the cross over our bodies, reminding ourselves that the cross of Christ has become our source of resurrection, life, and grace. With this Women’s Club Luncheon, Apr 3, 2011 sign, we also profess our faith in the Trinity: the presider does not say “in Ladies Night Out, Apr 16, 2011 the names,” but “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit”—three persons, one God. The sign of the cross is also a baptismal Elvis Night , Jun (to be announced) reminder, for every sign of the cross echoes the words spoken over us at our baptism, which marked our entry into the saving mystery of Christ. This many-layered sign is also our primary sign of blessing: the cross is traced Watch for more events and over people, places, and things upon which we ask God to impart divine details on the Parish Web site benediction. In blessing ourselves with the sign of the cross at the beginning of and in the Sunday Bulletin. Mass, we acknowledge the mystery that has gathered us together: that Christ, the crucified and risen One, is living, and that we are members of his Body. Our response, our Amen, is our yes to all this, our first BULLETIN profession of faith. —Corinna Laughlin, © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

Miss me, but let me go. When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, I want not rites in a gloom filled room.

Why cry for a soul set free. Miss me a little, but not too long, and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love we once shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone. It’s all a part of the Master’s plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the Friend we know, and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me but let me go. In Memory of… Thomas S. Moran
