Almighty and eternal God, in your unfailing love your provide ministers for your Church.

We pray for those whom you call to serve the Church of Joliet as priests.
Inspire in them a generous response. Grant them courage and vision to serve your people.
May their lives and service call your people to respond to the presence of your Spirit among us
that, faithful to the Gospel and hope of Jesus the Christ, we may:
announce glad tidings to the poor proclaim liberty to captives,
set prisoners free and renew the face of the earth.

O God, Father of all Mercies, Provider of a bountiful Harvest, send Your Graces upon those You have
called to gather the fruits of Your labor; preserve and strengthen them in their lifelong service of you.
Open the hearts of Your children that they may discern Your Holy Will; inspire in them a love and desire
to surrender themselves to serving others in the name of Your son, Jesus Christ.
Teach all Your faithful to follow their respective paths in life guided by Your Divine Word and Truth.
Through the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, all the Angels, and Saints, humbly hear our
prayers and grant Your Church's needs, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for Pope Benedict XVI

God our Father, shepherd and guide, source of eternal life and truth, give to your newly elected shepherd,
Benedict XVI, a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love.

By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care may he, as successor to the apostle Peter,
the Vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love, and peace for all the world.

May he be the visible centre and foundation of our unity in faith and love. May his word and example
inspire and guide the Church, and may all those entrusted to his care, come to the joy of everlasting life.

Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Natural Family Planning (NFP)

NFP is an umbrella term for certain methods
used to achieve and avoid pregnancies. These
methods are based on observation of the natu-
rally occurring signs and symptoms of the fer-
tile and infertile phases of a woman's men-
strual cycle. Couples using NFP to avoid preg-
nancy abstain from intercourse and genital
contact during the fertile phase of the woman's
cycle. No drugs, devices, or surgical proce-
dures are used to avoid pregnancy.

Angels Are Needed

On the weekend of April 24 and 25 we will have Debbie Barnes from Women’s Choice Services speak at each of the Masses explain-
ing and asking for women to become, “Angels”. The Angel training will be held here at Christ the king on Thursday, May 6 at 1:00
p.m. or Tuesday, May 11th at 7:00 p.m. Angels are need because very often when a pregnant girl leaves the Woman’s Choice Ser-
vices, she feels alone, abandoned, and scared. Her parents and /or father of the baby have deserted her. If she needs emotional,
spiritual, and material support, she is referred to a Project Gabriel Parish. The “trained” Angel is a friend, whose job it is to walk
alongside the mother to accompany her, pray for and with her, and encourages her on her journey. This may mean providing rides to
the doctor, referring her to needed agencies for financial assistance, soliciting for the baby items she may need, or just praying with
and for her. The role of the Angel should be perceived as a great opportunity to train laity in evangelization and a missionary re-
sponse to our neighbors in need. The role of the church community is to support the mother and baby in love, prayer and material
needs and to pray for and assist the Angel and the Gabriel Project Team in their specific ministry to the mother and baby. For more
information you can contact Eileen Maggiore at 630.396.6076 or Debbie Barnes at 630.261.9221.

How to Receive the Eucharist, Rev. Adrian J Parcher, OSB

Often in modern liturgy, the sense of reverence, of dignity, of awe, seems to have disappeared.
When you talk about what I’m going to talk about, people say, “Oh, my goodness, Father has me directly in mind, I know he’s directing
what he’s saying at me.” People become self-conscious or even offended. Recently I spoke to a congregation about the reception of
Holy Communion. I began by saying, “There are no flagrant violations or extreme problems here, but it’s good always to remind our-
selves of what happens when we receive the Eucharist and how we should receive it.” Then I continued in this vein:
We have the adage “Familiarity breeds contempt.” Not that we have contempt for the Eucharist, but we receive it so often that we can
become slovenly. Even priests can become slovenly in the way they say Mass. As anyone who’s been a superior of a community of
priests knows, it’s a delicate thing to approach the priest and say, “Father, look, you’re saying Mass too fast; you’re saying Mass too
irreverently; you’re doing this or that and you ought to correct it” Several years ago a Jesuit published a book called How Not to Say
Mass, and when we read it in refectory in the monastery one of the old monks said, “How strange that a Jesuit should write a book on
how not to say Mass.” Well, here we go.
If you were to ask me what two dispositions are absolutely necessary to approach the table of the Lord, I would say without hesitation
that the first is faith — deep belief in our Lord who is truly present, body and soul, humanity and divinity who becomes present at the
words of consecration and who comes into our lives, into our very beings, assimilates us into himself, through the reception of the
Eucharist That is whom we are receiving. We celebrate what Jesus enacted at the Last Supper and on Calvary. We represent that act
to the Father and bring its benefits upon ourselves.
The Eucharist like all the great mysteries of our faith, is not something that one can explain rationally. How can Jesus, how can God,
be contained in what appears to be a small wafer of bread? But that’s our strong belief, that Jesus is truly present on our altars. Once
we have received him in the Eucharist, he is present in our very persons, in our bodies. We believe that by the reception of the Eucha-
rist we become tabernacles, with our Lord contained within our very selves. That is a marvelous mystery, and that’s the first quality
that we have to come with, that deep awareness, that deep faith, that deep belief. That’s what really makes Catholics Catholic. Take
away the Eucharist, and we’re like everyone else. There’s no difference. I think it was one of the French revolutionaries who said, “If I
truly believed what the Church wants me to believe, that Christ truly becomes present on the altar at the moment of consecration, I
would not walk to the communion rail — I would crawl on my belly. That is how deep my faith and my humility would be.”
Now we certainly don’t expect anyone to crawl, but there has to be that depth of faith. Out of that faith there has to come a devotion.
You know each of us is baptized into the priesthood of Jesus, and one of the ways in which ordinary baptized Catholics exercise that
priesthood is by receiving Holy Communion. That is the exercise of a power we have from Christ. It’s an act of worship and so we do
it. We come with devotion, we come with humility. We come — how should I put it? — with great reverence and respect. I think that’s
what many people complain about in our modern liturgy, thc fact that the sense of reverence, of dignity, of awe, has disappeared. But
that’s more in our disposition than in anything else.
Now there are two ways in which Communion is received in the Latin Church: We receive either on the tongue or in the hand. The
priest holds up the Host and says, “The Body of Christ,” and the communicant answers, “Amen” That is not an English word; it’s an
Aramaic word. It really is pronounced “Ahmeen,” and it means, “So be it” “I agree.” “I believe.” “It is the Body of Christ.” That’s what the
“Amen” means: “I honestly believe that when I receive, it is Christ, and so I say Amen.”
No one can dictate how one is to receive Holy Communion. A priest can’t say, “I’m only going to give the Eucharist on the tongue.”
Nor can a priest demand that everyone who comes to Communion receive in the hand. Who decides how one is to receive Holy Com-
munion? The communicant and only the communicant. It is the individual who decides how he is going to receive. (The option applies
only in countries whose national bishops’ conferences have applied for and been granted permission to authorize Communion in the
hand, of course.) Often I run into priests who say, “I’m only going to give it in the hand.” And I have to say, “Father, you cannot de-
mand that”
If you are going to receive on the tongue, you should keep certain things in mind. First, the head should be bent back slightly, and the
head should be held erect, but kind of tilted back. The tongue should come out over the bottom teeth, equal with the bottom lip, so that
the priest has someplace to put the Host Sometimes people come up with their teeth clenched, and you wonder, “How am I going to
get our Lord into that mouth?”
There are certain things that we priests talk about among ourselves (I`m telling the tricks of the trade now), comments we make about
certain kinds of communicants. We say, “That one was a snapping turtle,” because he closes his mouth so quickly that the priest is
afraid his fingers are going to be cut off by the teeth. You look down sometimes and wonder, “Has blood been drawn?” Many a time,
I’ve had the scar of the teeth on my knuckles. There are also the plungers; they sort of leap forward. Or you have the toe dancers,
who come up on their toes, and you never know where they’re going to light. Others receive on the run; they don’t stand squarely in
front of you but they stand as if they can’t wait to get away. Come straight forward, face the priest, and don’t be too far away, because
its awfully difficult at times to reach.
If you’re going to receive in the hand, the best way is to put one hand down and put the other hand on top of it and make, as Tertullian
used to say, a kind of throne for the Lord. When the priest puts the Host on your hand, you say, “Amen.” Take a step or two to the side
to make way for the next communicant, then receive our Lord. Communion should not be received on the run, as you’re walking back
to your place; it should be consumed before you leave the area below the altar. (TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.)

Chicago. I would like to thank all of our guests for their generous donations, all of the volunteers for their tireless work,

Visually Impaired Awareness Day CCW 2010 Woman of the Year

The DuPage Center for Independent Living (a 501C3 not
for profit organization) is proud to sponsor the 16th annual
Visually Impaired Awareness Day. This event, open to
anyone who is blind or visually impaired, their families
and friends and anyone else interested in attending will
take place on Wednesday, May 12 from 3:00-6:00 p.m. at
the College of DuPage in Student Resource Center North,
Room 2800, 425 Fawell Boulevard, Glen Ellyn, Illinois.
There is no cost to attend.
This event brings individuals with visual impairment and
those close to them in contact with exhibitors of products
and services, which can improve their quality of life. Eve-
rything will be on display, from computers and personal
data assistants adapted for use by people with visual im-
pairment to information about educational services and
programs and support groups. Last year, more than thirty
-five providers exhibited their wares to an audience of
over two hundred.
We are pleased to announce that our keynote speaker
will be Derrick Phillips Superintendent of ICRE-Wood, a
Chicago-based provider of rehabilitation services for per-
sons with vision loss. Mr. Phillips has overcome major
loss of both vision and hearing and written the book “I’m
Blind, so what!?”. He will speak at 4:00pm.
If you have a vision loss or are interested in the subject
we encourage your attendance. Please call if you have
questions or need further information.
Spirit of Life Concert
Sunday, April 25
4:00pm
We welcome back the Spirit of Life Chorus for their Spring
Concert. The Chorus celebrates their 20 Year Anniver-
sary and the retirement of their founder, David Barth. Join
us as we continue our 50th Anniversary Year.
The Council of Catholic Women is pleased to announce
that Karen Schumann was chosen to be the 2010 Women
of the Year for Christ the King Parish.
The annual Woman of the Year award ceremony is spon-
sored by the Joliet Dioceses Council of Catholic Women
to honor the work of women in the many parishes of the
Dioceses. A Mass and Luncheon to honor the recipients
of the award was held at St. Raymond Cathedral in Joliet
with Bishop Sartain on Saturday morning, April 24, 2010.
We thank Karen for her commitment and dedication to the
Parish.
CCW Good Egg Awards 2010
When the Council of Catholic Women announced the
name of the Woman of the Year several years ago, the
question was asked, “And where is the Man of the Year?”
Well then, we got to thinking about all those guys in the
Parish who help out a lot and we decided to find a way to
acknowledge the work that they do.
And that is how the Good Egg Award began. As you
know, a “good egg” is someone that you can always
count on. This year the CCW board decided to name two
men who have been very helpful to our Parish commu-
nity. We chose Ed Lay and Ed Schumann.
Ed Lay began the Sunday visits to the Lexington Retire-
ment community about 25 years ago. Since then, every
Sunday morning, Ministers of Care bring Communion to
the residents at Lexington who cannot attend Mass. Later
on, the residents at Beacon Hill were added to the visita-
tion program. Ed Lay and Ed Schumann are both in-
volved in the work of the Knights of Columbus and also
the food pantry. Ed Schumann also helps with PADS pro-
gram with his wife Karen.
Please join us in congratulating Ed Lay and Ed Schu-
mann as recipients of the 2010 Good Egg Awards after
the installation of officers at 10:00 Mass on Sunday, May
16th
