Thank you for your kindness and<br />

generosity to our parish.<br />

Remembering Your <strong>Parish</strong><br />

The most practical way to make a significant gift to your<br />

parish is through your estate plan. This can take the form of<br />

designating <strong>Visitation</strong> in your will, living trust or as a beneficiary<br />

in a life insurance policy or retirement account.<br />

Such gifts are wholly revocable while you are alive and<br />

may save significant estate taxes at your death.<br />

If you are considering remembering <strong>Visitation</strong> in your<br />

estate plans, please call the <strong>Visitation</strong> Rectory Office at<br />

630-834-6700 or the Joliet Diocese Development Office at<br />

815-834-4031. Thank you.<br />

Pro Life Mass<br />

at<br />

Feast of the Baptism of the Lord Jesus<br />

Sunday, <strong>Jan</strong>uary 9, <strong>2011</strong><br />

<strong>Visitation</strong> Church<br />

Friday, <strong>Jan</strong>uary 14, <strong>2011</strong><br />

7:00 P.M.<br />

Celebrant<br />

Bishop Joseph Siegel<br />

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the<br />

Lord Jesus. Liturgically, we end the Christmas season and<br />

we celebrate the beginning of the public ministry of the<br />

Lord Jesus. Today’s gospel presents us with an “adult”<br />

Jesus at the River Jordan. He is baptized by John, the heavens<br />

open and the Father’s voice is heard. This is my beloved<br />

Son—listen to Him! With His baptism, Jesus begins His<br />

public life and invites His disciples to follow Him. He<br />

extends the same invitation to all of us through our<br />

Baptism. This week affords us an opportunity to pray for<br />

those who will follow Jesus in a special way as priests,<br />

brothers and sisters. Vocations are everybody’s business,<br />

and all of us need to attend to promoting and nurturing<br />

vocations whenever and wherever we can. Pray<br />

that we may have priests after the Heart of Christ!<br />

a terrific 2010 and sincerely appreciates the kindness of all.<br />

The Walk-in Services will now return to the regular days<br />

<strong>Visitation</strong> <strong>Parish</strong> Catholic Reading Club<br />

God, Philosophy and Universities<br />

The <strong>Visitation</strong> <strong>Parish</strong> Catholic<br />

Reading Club will be discussing<br />

Alasdair MacIntyre’s God, Philosophy<br />

and Universities at our <strong>Jan</strong>uary meeting<br />

on 20 <strong>Jan</strong>uary. Professor MacIntyre<br />

recently retired after a quarter century in<br />

the Philosophy department at the<br />

University of Notre Dame. This work<br />

was the main text for the course of the<br />

same name that was the most popular class in the College of Arts<br />

and Letters at the University. In this book, MacIntyre provides a<br />

survey of the development, evolution and contributions of the<br />

Catholic philosophical tradition, as informed not only by Jewish<br />

and Christian Revelation, but also as influenced by the ancient<br />

Greek pagan philosophers and by theistic philosophers in the<br />

Islamic and Jewish traditions. In line with Catholic thinkers from<br />

Augustine to Aquinas to our own Pope Benedict XVI,<br />

MacIntyre argues that there is no incompatibility between the<br />

truths of faith and those of reason since both flow the same<br />

Source of Truth. On the contrary, the methods and aims of faith<br />

and reason, while distinct, support one another, and any perceived<br />

inconsistency between the two stems from a misunderstanding<br />

of our finite minds confronted with infinite realities,<br />

from an unwarranted intrusion of one of the disciplines into an<br />

area not appropriate to it, or from restrictive theories of what we<br />

can know by reason. While there has been much discussion in<br />

recent years of the proper role of the Catholic university in our<br />

day, Dr. MacIntyre argues strenuously that it is precisely within<br />

the university setting that the truths of the Catholic faith are most<br />

fruitfully discussed, developed and defended. This book is available<br />

through Amazon.com and other booksellers.<br />

The <strong>Jan</strong>uary session will be held on <strong>Jan</strong>uary 20 from 9:30<br />

until 11:30 A.M. in Podesta Hall. For a copy of the study guide<br />

for this session or of the book list for the balance of the year,<br />

please call Renee Regole at 630-832-7903.<br />

Rosebud Program Intentions<br />

In our calling to respect the dignity and worth of all life,<br />

the Elizabeth Ministry requests that you please remember in<br />

your prayers the following intentions placed at the statue of<br />

the <strong>Visitation</strong> this past week:<br />

1 intention for those who are pregnant and their<br />

unborn babies.<br />

1 intention for those families celebrating births<br />

and/or adoptions.<br />

1 intention for those grieving a miscarriage, still<br />

birth, abortion or infant or child death.<br />

1 intention remembering those wanting to<br />

conceive or adopt.<br />

Please Join Us To Pray For Our Priests<br />

Join us on Monday evenings in the Church at 7:00 P.M.<br />

during this year dedicated to the Holy Eucharist, “the source and<br />

summit of our faith.”<br />

We pray the rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet followed<br />

by special prayers for priests, Benediction and a blessing with<br />

the St. Peregrine relic.<br />

Your servant,<br />

Deacon Jim Eaker<br />

I Look at Him and He Looks and Me<br />

Often a deep fervent look at Christ may make the most<br />

fervent prayer. “I look at Him and He looks at me” is the<br />

most perfect prayer.<br />

Christ offers Himself in the Eucharist, in His adorable<br />

Presence. Receive Him in a spirit of poverty and repentance<br />

of heart, with the soul of a child, until the very evening of<br />

your years.<br />

In remaining before the Eucharist for long periods of<br />

time, many people have let themselves be penetrated down<br />

to the very depths of their being. For all who consent to a<br />

long process of maturation, little by little their inner self is<br />

built up, without their knowing how. And, by prayer that is<br />

always simple, they are somehow drawn towards Christ.<br />

He is the one who bears with us the great sorrows of life<br />

and our broken relationships. He is also the one who, risen<br />

from the dead, rejoices with us, today, tomorrow and<br />

always. (from Seeking the Heart of God)<br />

Look at Him and He will look at you. The adoration<br />

chapel is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Help keep the<br />

chapel perpetual. To register, please call Owen or Gail at<br />

630-573-0033.<br />

Evening of Recollection<br />

There will be an Evening of Recollection for women<br />

this Wednesday, <strong>Jan</strong>uary 12, at 7:30 P.M in the Church.<br />

The evening includes two meditations by a priest of Opus<br />

Dei, time for silent prayer, private confession and benediction.<br />

Books for spiritual reading will be sold.<br />

Everyone is welcome. Bring a friend.<br />

Thank you to all who participated in the Sharing Tree.<br />

Because of you, many children and adults spent their<br />

Christmas knowing that someone cared. Approximately<br />

1,500 gifts were given to 900 people.<br />

It takes many people to make this a success, namely, the<br />

Scouts, the <strong>Visitation</strong> School 7 th and 8 th graders, the Youth<br />

Group, the women who prepare the ornaments and all the<br />

helpers who sort and pack the gifts.<br />

This year 45 families at Precious Blood Church in<br />

Chicago received Christmas gifts and more than 75 people<br />

at the Franciscan Outreach Center in Chicago received<br />

gifts. Many people in our area also had a Merry Christmas<br />

because of <strong>Visitation</strong>’s Sharing Tree.<br />

A special thank you to the Youth Group and their parents<br />

who waited and helped load the trucks.<br />

The Classified Section<br />

Many of our parishioners are affected by unemployment. <strong>Visitation</strong>’s “Classified Section” is a response to aid in networking<br />

within the parish community. This section lists people who need jobs by advertising only information pertinent to work.<br />

Those who need work may contact Deacon Tony at the Rectory and send him their resumes. We will keep them confidential and<br />

publicize the skill sets anonymously. Our hope is that potential employers or friends of potential employers within this parish may<br />

be able to help. If an employer contacts the parish office, Deacon Tony or Fr. Matt will act as the liaison for them.<br />

A more extensive list and more information and resources are now available via our website.<br />

At the request of Bishop Sartain, Pope Benedict has granted a plenary indulgence for those who make a pilgrimage to the<br />

<strong>Visitation</strong> Perpetual Adoration Chapel of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, during the Joliet Diocesan Year of the Eucharist,<br />

April 1, 2010–June 26, <strong>2011</strong>. To receive this indulgence, the pilgrim must have a firm detachment from all sin, receive the<br />

sacrament of penance within either a week before or a week after the visit chapel, have attended Mass and received communion<br />

the same day and offer prayers for the intentions of the Holy Father (an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be). While<br />

making the pilgrimage, the person must spend a period of time in silent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, and conclude<br />

that time of prayer by offering the Our Father, reciting the Profession of Faith, and offering an invocation to Our Lord (eg. O<br />

Sacrament Most Holy...)<br />

The elderly, the sick and all those who, for some serious reason, are not able to leave their home are also able to gain the<br />

Plenary Indulgence. It would be granted to them when, with a mind detached from any sin and with the intention of carrying<br />

out the three usual conditions as soon as possible, they devoutly recite the prayers mentioned above in the presence of some<br />

small image of Our Lord Jesus Christ, humbly offering their own sufferings or the misfortunes of their own life to the mercy<br />

of God.<br />

A Plenary Indulgence may be gained once a day for oneself or for someone who has died. For more information on this<br />

indulgence and for the list of other diocesan pilgrimage churches and chapels, please see the Joliet Diocesan Year of the<br />

Eucharist webpage. http://www.dioceseofjoliet.org/ye/pilgrimages.asp.<br />
