Francis, Franciscans, Life of Prayer...

October 4^th is the feast of St. Francis of Assisi.  We share with you a reflection on Franciscan prayer and contemplation.  

Prayer is the secret language of the heart. Prayer is a song that is sometimes sung in words that give directions.  At other times it is merely music suggesting mood,  and still other times it is a rest in the middle of a measure,  yielding to silence.  For a Franciscan this melody of the heart is always in  harmony with the one Word, Jesus Christ, spoken by  our loving God.  Love  and prayer sing harmoniously as one entity in the life of a Franciscan. Just as Francis sought his God and found Christ in the depths of solitude and in the faces and lives of the people about him, so, too, a Franciscan is called to cherish the presence of God within, and to grow in his ministry of love.  He is called to become a living prayer: the presence of Christ to the people with whom and for whom he ministers.  He is to see Christ in each life that touches his.  He is to be Christ, a song of good news.

St.  Francis's prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

RELIEF EFFORT FOR TERRORIST VICTIMS In cooperation with the Archdiocese of Chicago/Catholic Charities, it was agreed upon by the St. Jerome Parish Council that the parish  would donate $1000.00 to the victims of the tragedy. In addition, there will be a second collection after each mass on the weekend of October 13th & 14th. We appreciate your concern during our country's most difficult time.  For more information contact Catholic Charities at 1-800-919-9338 or www.catholiccharitiesusa.org.

October Mass Attendance Count

All parishes are asked to participate in the annual count of people attending mass during the weekends in October.  This is an important source of information for planning,  evangelization, and decision making.

JEROME 90TH ANNIVERSARY  Mark your calendars for October 6, 2002.  Our celebration will begin with a High Mass in the early afternoon, followed by an evening of dinner and dancing at the Sheraton Hotel in the Loop.  Also, we are looking for any photos or videos from parish events or family  events at the parish. Please send these to the rectory clearly marked with your name and address so that we can return them.
