WEEKLY MEDITATION

We pray the Scriptures at each Mass. The beauty of liturgical prayer is founded on the Word of God, such that we pray the Scriptures as Christ our Lord did, even as He died on the cross. As John hailed the Son of God made man, so we too, at Mass after the consecration, worship the "Lamb of God." "Behold the Lamb of God! Behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those who are called to the supper of the Lamb."The catechism helps us in our meditation: The baptism of Jesus is, on His part, the acceptance and inauguration of His mission as God's suffering servant. He allows himself to be numbered among sinners. He already is 'the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.' (Jn 1:29) Already He is anticipating the >baptism' of his bloody death. (Mk 10:38) The Father's voice responds to the Son's acceptance, proclaiming His entire delight in His Son. (Lk 3:22) (CCC 536)When we pray the responses of the Mass, let us remember that we are praying the Word of God. "Sursum corda", "lift up your hearts" as you treasure the prayers and responses of the Mass, and meet Christ in the liturgy. Looking forward to meeting you here again next week as, together, we "meet Christ in the liturgy".

VIGIL PRAYER FOR PEACE After the attacks on New York and Washington, D. C. on September 11, the Holy Father continues to pray and invites everyone to pray that love will prevail over hatred, peace over war, and forgiveness over revenge. The Holy Father will travel to Assisi, Italy on January 24, 2002, to pray for peace throughout the world. In solidarity with the Holy Father, Cardinal Francis George will preside at a prayer vigil for peace at Holy Name Cathedral on the evening of January 23, the night before the Pope's multi-religious meeting in Assisi.

MICHAEL ANTHONY BILANDIC 1923-2002  - Our parishioner and friend, Michael Bilandic, former mayor of Chicago and Chief Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court, died on Tuesday evening, January 16, at the age of 78. We express our condolences to his wife Heather, son Michael, brothers Steve and Nick, sister Eleanor, relatives, and friends. He was described by his wife as "a devoted family man [who] also loved Chicago and its people, was proud of his Croatian heritage, and grateful for the opportunities which this country provided to his family. He felt deeply honored to have been able to serve as a member of the legal profession and to have participated in 3 branches of government during a lifetime of service".
Mike was always very proud of St. Jerome Church and we are proud of him. He attended our grammar school (Class of >36) and corresponded all of his life with one of his teachers, Sr. Benedict, who is now 99 years old. He lived quietly, died quietly, and was buried quietly and humbly on Thursday in a private ceremony officiated by our pastor, Fr. Joe. He was interred at St. Mary Cemetery beside his parents. May God grant him eternal rest.
