VOTER REGISTRATION It is hard to believe that millions of Christians/Catholics do not bother to vote. Is it any wonder that we have legislators in Illinois who have no fear of vot-ing for laws that destroy the lives of innocent babies during all nine months of pregnancy? If only we had a few more pro-life State Representatives we could have stopped it. Edmund Burke said, “All that is essential for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Now is the time to step up to the plate. If you have changed your address, changed your name, or turned 18 then you need to update your registration, or regis-ter for the first time. The deadline to register is February 19, twenty-seven days before the March 17 primary. Or you can register online until March 3rd at the Board of Election website http://www.dupageco.org/election. You can go to this website at this address for any questions. PLEASE don’t be indifferent. We need every person of faith to be ready to vote on March 17th. Christians could (and should) turn this state around.
Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
The prophet Isaiah inspires us with these words: “Light shall rise for you in the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like midday.” All of us celebrating the liturgy today praise
God for these words of encouragement. Surely each of us knows the gloomy side of life, but today’s readings propose a brilliant antidote to misery: the light of service. Isaiah focuses
on physical suffering, telling us to provide food, clothing, housing, and equal opportunity to those with limited re-
sources. Moving beyond material needs, Saint Paul demon-strates how to proceed humbly when attending to people’s spiritual needs. Saint Matthew’s Gospel stirs us to bold ac-
tion: whatever gifts we have, we must put them at the service of our communities. As Christians, we must engage with one another without holding back, letting our light shine before all.

SPEAKOUT ILLINOIS CONFERENCE
End the Injustice is the theme of the 2020 SpeakOut Illinois Conference on Saturday, February 29th, at Drury Lane Oak-brook, 100 Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace. The SpeakOut committee is comprised of dozens of pro-life and pro-family organizations who, once a year, present a lovely breakfast with outstanding speakers and display tables where you can learn more about the good work that each organization specializes in. Mary-Louise Hengesbaugh will be the featured speaker. She was the Respect Life Director for the Archdiocese of Chicago, and is the Chair of Illinois Citizens for Ethic Political Action Committee (ICE-PAC).

As Miss Wisconsin she spoke to over 180,000 teens and young adults in 23 states on abstinence before marriage, and is the author of Standing With Courage. You will learn how to fight for your values in a state that is deeply divided on issues re-garding life. Pastor Ceasar Leflore will receive the Henry Hyde Award in recognition of his years of pro-life work. To register go to www.speakoutillinois.org or call Ann at 773-777-2900. Tick-ets are $65 before 2/17, $30 for Clergy and Students. Display area opens at 8:00 a.m. with a full breakfast and talks begin-ning at 9:00 a.m. You won’t want to miss it!
Reporting Sexual Abuse: Anyone with reason to believe that a child has been abused or is being abused should report their suspicions to civil authorities.

The Diocese of Joliet Vic-tim Assistance Coordinator is available to help victims/survivors of Child sexual abuse by a cleric, employee or volunteer of the Catholic Church.

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS God our Father, You made each of us to use our gifts in the Body of Christ. We ask that You inspire young people whom You call to the priesthood and consecrated life to cou-rageously follow Your will. Send workers into Your great harvest so that the Gospel is preached, the poor are served with love, the suffering are comforted, and Your people are strengthened by sacra-ments. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
