AUTHORITY FROM GOD
According to Moses, the people
decided they didn’t want to hear
God’s voice directly any more. It
was much too frightening. Why
couldn’t God send human teachers, prophets, instead? God agreed,
but with a warning. The people
had better listen to those teachers,
because they spoke in God’s
name.
That arrangement, though, had
its own problems, for them and for
us. How do I know this teacher is
truly from God? And if the teacher
is from God, are all parts of the
teaching meant for me? We have
the Church and scripture to help us
with those questions, but still there
are always a few loose ends.
That is the powerful significance of the sentence in today’s
Gospel: “The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught
them as one having authority and
not as the scribes.” The people
knew that this Jesus was authentic—truly a teacher sent by God.
FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
February 1, 2015
TO THE COMMUNITY OF ST. MARCELLINE
It is that time of the year when we focus
our attention to the Annual Catholic Appeal. The
theme of the appeal this year is “Entrusted with
Responsibility.” It flows from Pope Francis’ encyclical “The Joy of the Gospel.” Many of you have
responded to the Annual Catholic Appeal by a
mailing from Archbishop Cupich. On behalf of
those served by the ministries and services funded
by the ACA, thank you for your gifts. If you received the mailing and have not responded, please
do so as soon as possible. Next weekend we will be
doing an in-pew registration for the Appeal after
we listen to a homily from Archbishop Cupich. In
addition to providing for ministries and services
throughout the Archdiocese, the Appeal also
funds services that are of great help to ministries
in our parish. For example, formation for Deacons and lay ministers; support for religious education for financially challenged communities like
our sharing parish St. Agatha’s; on-going spiritual formation of priests. God provides each of us
with many gifts. We have the responsibility not
only to recognize these gifts but also to nurture
them. As we contemplate His gifts to us, we should
also reflect on our gratitude for these gifts. Your
financial support for the work of our parish, our
Archdiocese and the Church throughout the
world is, in fact, one way to express this gratitude.
Please give generously to the 2015 Annual Catholic Appeal. When our parish reaches its goal of
$58,628 in paid pledges, 100% of the additional
funds received will be returned to us for use in
our parish. Let me end with a reflection on gratitude by Thomas Merton:
“To be grateful is to recognize the love of
God in everything He has given us—and He has
given us everything. Every breath we draw is a
gift of His love, every moment of existence is a
grace, for it brings with it immense graces from
Him.
Gratitude therefore takes nothing for
granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly
awakening to new wonder and to praise of the
goodness of God. For the grateful person knows
that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference.”
May God’s grace and peace be yours.

Greeters
Needed
In order to maintain our welcoming atmosphere as guests and parishioners cross our
threshold, we are in need of a few more greeters to minister at Mass. We have an excellent
core of ministers, but need a few more to welcome our many parish members and guests.
There are no meetings; training takes only a
few minutes, and a flexible schedule is available. Please prayerfully consider offering your
time in this important ministry. Call Dr. Brunelle for more information and training at
847.524.0260.

Liturgy Schedule

MASS WITH THE DISTRIBUTION OF ASHES
10:00am & 7:30pm
LITURGY OF THE WORD WITH
DISTRIBUTION OF ASHES
3:00PM & 6:00PM
Ashes will only be distributed at the times listed
above. Homebound ministers are asked to take
their ashes after the 10:00am Mass.
The Oil of the Sick, usually labeled OI (for
Oleum Infirmarum), is often reserved with chrism
and the oil of catechumens in an ambry. An ambry
is a cabinet, often beautifully ornamented and kept
near the baptistery in the church. Olive oil, with
no fragrance added, is blessed at the Chrism Mass
in Holy Week by the bishop, although there is now
a provision for a priest to bless oil if none is available. This restores to our Latin Rite practice a tradition never lost in the Eastern tradition, in which
priests consecrate the oil of the sick, even at the
sick person’s home. Any vegetable oil may be
used now, since olive oil is difficult to obtain in
some places. Many priests keep a small supply of
oil close at hand in a small metal tube called a
“stock.”
In the former rite, every sense of the body was
anointed, accompanied by a prayer for forgiveness
of sin. So, the eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, hands,
and feet were all touched. Today, this is simplified
to an anointing of the forehead and the hands, but
generally today the oil is used more lavishly, and
the symbolism of touch so central to the rite is
enhanced. Often, a priest will invite everyone present to join in the “laying on of hands.” Sick persons are often pushed aside or feared in our culture, and to be reverently touched in love can be a
profound experience of God’s healing, forgiving,
accepting presence through the ministry of the
Church.
—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
GOD’S WORD TODAY
One line from today’s Gospel stands out: “The people
were astonished at his teaching.” Saint Mark, of course,
is speaking about the Lord’s teaching in the synagogue at
the beginning of his public ministry. Too often we come
to church and the words that are proclaimed simply wash
over us. When was the last time we were “astonished at
his teaching”? Like the man with an unclean spirit in today’s Gospel, we can have too many “spirits” that distract us and make us less receptive to the word of God.
As we hear how Jesus drives the unclean spirit from the
man, let us ask the Lord to drive from us any distractions
that prevent us from knowing the true power of the word
of God. Let the words of today’s responsorial psalm become our own. Today, when we hear God’s voice, let us
pray that our hearts will not be hardened, but opened to
transformation and astonishment.

worldly anxieties and take time to just focus on God and
each other by making a Worldwide Marriage Encounter
Weekend. The next Worldwide Marriage Encounter
Weekends are February 13-15, 2015 or April 17-19,
2015 or June 12-14, 2015, all at Elk Grove Village, IL.

SAINT HUBERT JOB AND
NETWORKING MINISTRY
Family #23
Our mom reported that her job
was recently switched to a different northwest suburb and her
hours have changed because she is still in training
for the new position. She reported that it’s going
fine but transportation is becoming an issue. Now
that she is at a new location it’s further away from
her daughter’s school and she is carpooling with
her mother. Unfortunately our mom, because she
is taking her mother to and from work, she was not
able to take the Language Arts portion of the GED
exam as scheduled. She has plans to take the entire exam in March. Until then she will continue to
utilize online quizzes and study material. Her
mother is doing well and still working part time four
days per week and she loves her job! Her daughter’s asthma is under control and hasn’t had any
issues in about 2 weeks.
This family was very grateful for the Christmas
gifts to her family! Her daughter was especially
very happy. Thank you to our parishioners for
all the help!
Family #25
The new family consists of a single mother with
four children. She has 3 boys ages 6, 11 and 15
and a girl age 10. Our new family is settling in
while getting adjusted. Our mom and her children
are all doing well. Her six year old son is currently
getting additional assistance in speech and making
major progress. She reports that she is a diabetic
and takes insulin. As long as her diet is controlled
and she takes her medicine regularly she is fine.
She reported that she worked a lot of over time
over the holidays and made some extra money!
She is already on target with her goals and savings!
This family was very happy and excited to receive their gifts and their new apartment! This
Christmas was very special one for this family!
A special thanks to our parishioners. New
Hope extends special greetings to the Peace
and Justice Cluster Parishioners for their continuing support!

GRIEF Ministry
It Hurts! It’s Lonely! It’s Unpredictable!
It’s Normal! It’s Healing!
Pres
St M ented b
a
y
Wom rcellin
e
en’s
Club
When we experience the loss of someone we love,
we face a period of time for personal grief. No one
can predict how long this grieving process should
last—grief is personal, and everyone grieves in his or
her own way. There may be times during this process when we find that our experience of grief has
taken complete control over all that we do. Grief can
be very unpredictable; it affects us mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially. Grief can
make us feel crazy.
The journey of grief is a hard road to travel—it hurts.
Sometimes it helps to know that others share the
same pain, the same feelings, and the same struggle.
The community of St. Marcelline wishes to reach out
to you, or perhaps someone in your family, who find
their struggle with grief hard to endure.
If you or other family members find the struggle with
grief too difficult, then we would like to invite you to
our next series of support sessions, which will begin
on Saturday, February 21st and continue for six
weeks. Each 1-1/2 hour session begins at 10:30 am,
and is held in our Family Life Center. Come to as
many sessions as you like, or are able to attend.
Please contact the Parish Administration Office at
847-524-4429 and register for our next series of sessions. Should you have any questions regarding this
program, a member of our ministry team will be happy to contact you and answer any questions you may
have.
