2021 YEAR OF ST. JOSEPH PRAYER
Glorious Patriarch Saint Joseph, whose power makes the impossible possible, come to my aid in these times of anguish and difficulty. Take under your protection the serious and troubling situations that I commend to you, that they may have a happy outcome (here make your request). My beloved father, all my trust is in you. Let it not be said that I invoked you in vain, and since you can do everything with Jesus and Mary, show me that your goodness is as great as your power. Amen.
This prayer, from the 19th-century French prayer book, has been recited by Pope Francis every day for more than 40 years (cf. Patris Corde, †10).

CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS APPEAL (CHMA)
This weekend we will take up the CHMA which generously supports ministries and programs of our Belleville Diocese each year. Today, over 40% of dioceses in the US and its territories are unable to fund the essential pastoral work their communities need. Your support of this appeal helps them meet these faith formation and sacramental needs. Please prayerfully consider how you can support this appeal. More information can be found at www.usccb.org/home-missions or on the handout and Bishop McGovern letter below (click to view).
PASTOR'S NOTE:
Hope in the Risen One. Our hope is based simply on the One who is risen. We have many fears; basically all of them are rooted in the fear of death. The fear of loss, the fear of illness, the fear that our life will end - these are all fears about the future. And the message of Jesus in the Gospel is very consistent: Do not fear. It is I.
It is by being with the disciples, by His simple presence, that Jesus gives hope to those who are fearful. The disciples do not understand, that is abundantly clear. And that is already a clue to our hope: we do not hope because we understand; we hope because Someone is with us.
We realize that the Risen One is with us because He loves us. It is because He loves us that He is with us, not because we are hopeful, or because we are graceful, or because we are thoughtful. He is with us because He loves us. And His love, His turning to us with compassion and care, drives out fear. Amen!
Fr. Slawomir Ptak
