Patiently Awaiting Judgment
Ma hew, more than any other evangelist, talks about Jesus leaving and returning home. O en Jesus leaves the house because crowds have assembled
outside and want to be taught. Today, a er having taught and dismissed the
crowds, his disciples follow him home, seeking further explana on of what
seem to be, at least to us today, pre y straigh orward parables.
Parish Website: www.stjosephjoliet.org
For both Ma hew and Mark, when Jesus is in the house with his disciples it
signals a special teaching moment, and it should cause us today to perk up
our ears. Usually it is Jesus giving commonsense advice about what it will
mean to follow him. Today is no different. To follow Jesus means to be ready
to encounter the followers of evil, to have to live and work and preach
among them. It means pa ently awai ng the judgment that can only come
from God, the judgment of justly deciding who will be thrown into the flame
and who will live to be a brightly shining saint. Let us heed this
house-teaching, for it will be the same for us who follow Jesus Christ today.

JMJ
Dear Parishioners and Friends,
When I was in the seminary, especially during high school and the first couple of years of college, we
were able to go home for the summer. Before we could leave, however, the Forma on Director and
Prior of the community, would lecture us on our expected behavior during these summer months. We were expected
to fraternize only with those people who were able to set a good example, con nue our spiritual disciplines like daily
prayer and Mass, and commit ourselves to some type of apostolic work. All of this was fine, but they would always
end their talk with the following phrase: “remember, there is no vaca on from your voca on.” We would all nod our
heads and head home to family and friends as fast as possible.
As the years have passed, I have o en reflected on the significance of these words, as corny as they may sound. At its
very heart is the fact that each of us is called to live a life that is shaped by our voca onal call, our own personal vocaons and our common voca ons through bap sm. God intends each of us to play a unique role in carrying out His
divine plan. The challenge, then, is to understand our voca on—clergy, religious, laity; married, single, adult, child—
and to respond generously to this call from God. Our voca ons require from each of us a daily commitment. Each and
every day we are given the opportunity and obliga on to once again say “yes” to God and to choose to embrace the
voca ons that He has given us. Mature disciples make a conscious decision to follow Jesus, no ma er the cost (Lk 9:
23-25). All of you are very important in the life of our parish family. I don't think most of you realize how much you
are needed. You are not just a name on our parish registry, but an integral part of the Body of Christ. When you embrace your voca ons with fidelity, confidence and enthusiasm it helps to define who we are. You are able to priori ze
what’s important in your lives and guide your decision-making.
Summer vaca on is not a me to get away from your obliga ons as Catholics. Rather, it is a chance to gain new perspec ve and to recharge your spiritual ba eries, so as to be er live the voca ons to which you have been called. The
slower pace of summer doesn’t change your voca ons, but it does present most of you with the opportunity to serve
God and others in different ways. Use this special me to deepen the spiritual lives of yourself and family members.
Keep God at the center of all your ac vi es, especially Sunday worship. Vaca on is not the me to forget your obligaons, but a me to double down, to offer to God more of yourself. It’s true, there is no vaca on from your voca on!
Wishing you a wonderful week of work and prayer.
May God bless you and all those you love,
Fr. Timothy P. Andres, O.Carm.

Prayer to St. Joseph
(over 1900 years old)
Oh, St. Joseph, whose protec on is so great, so
strong, so prompt, before the throne of God, I place in you
all my interests and desires.
Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession,
and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings
through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, so that having engaged here
below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and
homage to the most loving of Fathers.
Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contempla ng you and Jesus
asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes
near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine
Head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my
dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of depar ng souls, pray for
me. Amen.

Would you like to become Catholic? Would you like
to receive Sacraments in the Catholic Church?
R.C.I.A., which stands for the Rite of Chris an Ini a on of
Adults, is a program through which adults can join the
Catholic Church or can complete their ini a on by receiving their Sacraments. RCIA is for three groups of people:
those who are not bap zed; those who were bap zed into
another Chris an denomina on and wish to enter into full
communion with the Catholic Church; Bap zed Catholics
who were not fully formed in the Catholic faith and have
not completed their ini a on, who have received neither
the Sacraments of Holy Communion or Confirma on.
RCIA classes are held following 10:00 Mass for a sixmonth period. At the conclusion of the classes, the
adults are ready to join the Church at the Easter Vigil
Mass. There is no cost for the RCIA program. Anyone
interested in learning more about the RCIA program,
please call the rectory 815-727-9378. Classes begin on
Sunday, October 12, 2014, following 10:00 Mass. Classes are held in the rectory next to Church.
