Page 2 Welcome to St. Thomas Becket 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time

WOMEN’S GUILD MEETING - Monday, February 17at 7pm The business mee"ng will include with a door prize and a split the pot raffle,

followed by dessert. Guests are always welcome.

Our own Deacon couple Doreen and Tony Janno#a will be the guest speakers. Please come join us to hear thoughts on SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION:

OUR PERSONAL JOURNEY TO “WHOLENESS” AND “HOLINESS”

Spiritual transforma6on can only come from our hearts; from becoming the authen6c and humble persons we were created by God to be. Transforming ourselves has “NOTHING” to do with our age—it has only to do with “LOVE.” We have just one life6me to let go of self,

to live like Jesus and His followers—to become “Whole” and ‘’Holy.”

Impossible? “Nothing is Impossible for God.” Luke1:37

PRZYGOTOWANIE DO SAKRAMENTU MAŁŻEŃSTWA Jednodniowa sesja w jęz. polskim w zakresie wymagań Archidiecezji odbędzie się

28 marca, 2020. Zapraszamy do uczestnictwa nie tylko naszych parafian. W celu zapisania się prosimy o kontakt z biurem parafialnym: 847-827-9220.

Please join us on Wednesdays a+er the 9am Mass in church. Please contact JoRene: [email protected] or Tony: janno#[email protected] for more informa"on.

MILITARY PICTURE BOARD—we ask any families or friends who have a picture on the ‘’THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE” board located in the church lobby, to please remove their picture IF they are no longer on ac"ve duty. New pictures of current ac"ve duty military personnel are always welcome and appreciated as we con"nue to pray for them. God Bless All!

MEN’S CLUB MEETING—WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2020-7:00 P.M. MARK YOUR CALENDAR---the next mee"ng of the Men’s Club is scheduled for

Wednesday, February 19 at 7:00 P.M. Topics to be discussed: the very successful Super Bowl party and financial report, our annual veterans group visit and ini"al review of next years' charitable dona"ons. Beginning a schedule of recommended speakers, we are pleased to

welcome MARGARET MULLENIX, the fitness coordinator at the Arlington Heights Park District who will discuss goal se;ng and what you can do to stay strong and healthy during the year. Margaret has been a parishioner at STB for over 30 years and served on or volunteered with

2020 Annual Catholic Appeal Come, follow me… and heal our world

This weekend, our parish will be conduc"ng the Annual Catholic Appeal in-pew Commitment Weekend. Please remember that the Annual Catholic Appeal is much different than a one-"me special collec"on. It is a pledge campaign where you can make a gi+ payable in installments. The Annual Catholic Appeal theme, “Come, follow me… and heal our world,” was selected to remind us to con"nue to answer Jesus’ call to follow Him in thought, word and deed by providing the necessary contribu"on to fund ministries and services to share God’s love with many others in our parish and our archdiocese. Each pledge makes a difference! All parishes communi"es par"cipate in the campaign and the gi+s of many enable our parishes, schools, and ministries to deliver needed services. Thank you for your prayerful considera"on and generous response.

Doroczna Kwesta Katolicka „Pójdź za mną...

i uzdrów nasz świat” Bieżący weekend będzie w naszej parafii weekendem składania zobowiązań finansowych na rzecz Dorocznej Kwesty Katolickiej. Prosimy, abyście pamiętali, że Doroczna Kwesta Katolicka jest czymś

zupełnie innym niż jednorazową specjalną kolektą. Jest to kampania, podczas której składane są zobowiązania finansowe, które mogą być spłacane w ratach. Hasło tegorocznej Kwesty „Pójdź za mną... i uzdrów nasz świat” zostało wybrane, aby przypomnieć nam, że musimy wciąż odpowiadać na wezwanie Jezusa, by iść za Nim w myślach, słowach i czynach przez partycypowanie finasowanie duszpasterstw i posług, by dzielić się miłością Boga z innymi w naszej parafii i Archidiecezji. Każde zobowiązanie ma znaczenie! Wszystkie parafie uczestniczą w kampanii i to dzięki darom złożonym przez wiele osób parafie, szkoły i wiele duszpasterstw może zapewniać wiernym potrzebne posługi i dzieła duszpasterskie. Dziękujemy za rozważanie swojej odpowiedzi na modlitwie i za hojną odpowiedź.

If you are new to our parish and would like to make a Sunday dona6on, you may use this QR reader to quickly access our very easy

and secure on line E-Give system. God Bless!

Witamy serdecznie wszystkich gości w parafii Św. Tomasza Becketa. Jeśli chcielibyście Państwo złożyć niedzielną ofiarę, to za pomocą tego czytnika QR można szybko uzyskać

dostęp do naszego łatwego i bezpiecznego systemu donacji drogą elektroniczną. Bóg zapłać.

Page 4 Welcome to St. Thomas Becket 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time

SUNDAY REFLECTION Sirach wastes no "me in telling us in today’s first reading:

If you choose, you can keep the commandments, they will save you; If you trust in God, you too shall live.

And the psalmist responds: Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord! In Ma#hew’s Gospel, Jesus tells the disciples: Whoever obeys and teaches these

commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Why all the talk of law, commandment and obeying today? We’re only a few weeks from the season of Lent. We’re being invited to think about how we will spend Lent 2020. What will we do to turn our lives and minds and hearts over to our generous and loving God? What steps will we take to deepen our rela"onship with God? The readings from today’s liturgy give us guidance. Keep the commandments; trust in God; follow the Lord’s law….. In the 22nd chapter of Ma#hew, Jesus reminds all of us to ‘follow the Lord your God with all of your heart with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself.’ Keeping these commandments is certainly a full-"me job. It is something to work toward during the upcoming Lenten season. LOVE THE LORD – deepen your rela"onship with God. How? Through prayer. Praying the rosary, Our Father, etc are good ways to pray. How about praying with the scriptures? What about si;ng quietly and pouring your heart out to the God who loves you? How about trying silence – start with just a few minutes at a "me – feel God’s presence – listen for God’s voice. LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR – certainly this is a tall order. However, it what we are called to do as disciples/followers of Christ. How can we be more loving in our close rela"onships? Can we do something concrete for another person – call someone who is grieving? -visit someone who is homebound or sick? - make an extra batch of cookies for a neighbor? Can we look at the ways we are less than loving and begin to change? I invite you to prepare yourself for this Lent. As the news events of the past few weeks have shown us, we do not know when our last day will be – we do not know when God will call us home. Let us prepare ourselves now. In Christ ~~Paula Kowalkowski

Answer:

There is a lot of curiosity and fascina"on with the idea of an

a+erlife and communica"ng with those who have died. In movies, television shows, and numerous

books, people make claims about their ability to communicate with the dead, or having had a near-death experience. There is no

objec"ve way to verify any of this. While details about people and

events can be surprisingly accurate, it is just circumstan"al

evidence that might be explained in other ways. On the other hand,

when people have unusual experiences, some"mes called near-death or out-of-body, it is

real to them. They react with the emo"ons and thoughts that one

would expect. At "mes, they report details they could not have known any other way, such as bits

of conversa"on, or mee"ng people they had never known in

this life. So certainly, to the person, they experience

something. We believe in a life a+er death, we believe in the

communion of saints. These things are not a contradic"on to faith,

but we should not base our faith on them, nor change our beliefs.

They are unexplained and will likely remain so.
