Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church O MISSION STATEMENT ur Lady of Good Counsel Church in Aurora, Illinois, is a diverse and unified community of Christ’s disciples living our CatholicChristian faith through worship, fellowship and service bringing God’s transforming love to our parish and our world. “The Year of Grace” Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish • 2 A Message from Bishop Malloy: Mensaje del Obispo Malloy: October, 2014 Octubre, 2014 Dear Friends in Christ, We are all aware of how much Pope Francis loves the poor, the sick, the outcast and the lost. In fact, he says that our experience of God’s love gives us even more joy when we share it with others. That is his message for World Mission Sunday, which we celebrate on October 18th – 19th. Queridos hermanos en Cristo: Supporting the Church’s missionary activity with one’s prayers and financial offerings, the Pope said, are a “sign of a self-offering, first to the Lord and then to others; in this way a material offering can become a means for the evangelization of humanity built on love.” As disciples of Christ, we are to follow His example. Jesus chose to be in solidarity with those that are poor and hungry to demonstrate God’s mercy and love. Our missionaries follow in Jesus’ footsteps in proclaiming to the ends of the earth the salvation Christ offers those who believe in Him. Our diocesan parishes will hold the annual collection for the Mission Appeal which supports the Church’s outreach, spreading the Word of God not only in the United States of America, but also in mission countries and situations abroad. This Mission Appeal includes: World Mission Sunday; Missions in the United States; the Church in Latin America; Membership in the Propagation of the Faith; and Rockford Diocesan Priests’ Pension. For the Catholic elementary schools in our Diocese, we have created a special opportunity for you to assist grade schools that have operating deficits and need your help to become financially viable. Each one of us is called to proclaim our faith and encourage others, both near and far, to grow closer to our Lord. Our diocesan priests, religious priests and sisters continually say yes to God’s call to teach His message. Please join with them in their mission to proclaim our faith by supporting the Mission Appeal. Thank you in advance for your generosity for this worthy cause! Sincerely yours in Christ, The Most Reverend David J. Malloy Bishop of Rockford Todos somos conscientes de lo mucho que el Papa Francisco ama a los pobres, a los enfermos, a los marginados y a los perdidos. De hecho, Г©l dice que nuestra experiencia del amor de Dios nos da aГєn mГЎs alegrГa cuando la compartimos con otros. Ese es su mensaje para el Domingo Mundial de las Misiones, que celebramos el 18 y 19 de octubre. Apoyar a la Iglesia es su actividad misionera con oraciones y ofrendas financieras, dice el Papa son “una seГ±al de que uno entrega, en primer lugar al SeГ±or y luego a los hermanos, porque la propia ofrenda material se convierte en un instrumento de evangelizaciГіn de la humanidad que se construye sobre el amor”. Como discГpulos de Cristo, estamos siguiendo Su ejemplo. JesГєs escogiГі estar en solidaridad con aquellos que estГЎn pobres y sufren de hambre para demostrar la misericordia y el amor de Dios. Nuestros misioneros siguen los pasos de JesГєs hasta los confines de la tierra en proclamaciГіn de la salvaciГіn que Cristo ofrece a quienes creen en Г‰l. Las parroquias de nuestra diГіcesis tendrГЎn la colecta anual de las misiones que apoyan la extensiГіn de la Iglesia, esparciendo la palabra de Dios no solo en los Estados Unidos de AmГ©rica sino tambiГ©n en la misiГіn en paГses y situaciones en el extranjero. Esta Colecta de las Misiones incluye: el Domingo Mundial de las Misiones, Misiones en los Estados Unidos de AmГ©rica, la Iglesia en AmГ©rica Latina; MembrecГa en la PropagaciГіn de la Fe y la PensiГіn de los Sacerdotes de la DiГіcesis de Rockford. Para las escuelas catГіlicas elementales de nuestra diГіcesis, hemos creado una oportunidad especial para ayudar a las escuelas primaria que tienen dГ©ficits de funcionamiento y necesitan tu ayuda para ser financieramente viables. Cada uno de nosotros estГЎ llamado a proclamar nuestra fe y estimular a otros, tanto a quienes estГЎn cerca como a quienes estГЎn lejos, a crecer mГЎs cerca de nuestro SeГ±or. Nuestro sacerdotes diocesanos, sacerdotes religiosos y las hermanas, continuamente dicen sГ al llamado de Dios para enseГ±ar su mensaje. Por favor Гєnase a ellos en su misiГіn para proclamar nuestra fe, apoyando la Colecta de las Misiones. Gracias de antemano por su generosidad para esta valiosa causa.

Stewardship Reflection And my God will supply every need of yours…” ~ Philippians 4:19~ God really does provide for those that are grateful and generous. This is very difficult for people that don’t live a stewardship lifestyle to believe. People are skeptical and say it’s just coincidence. If you are skeptical, try living a stewardship lifestyle for just one month – be generous with your gifts of time, talent and treasure and see how God provides for your needs.

En septiembre, estos niГ±os fueron bienvenidos a la familia de los creyentes en Dios, la Iglesia CatГіlica, por medio del Sacramento del Bautismo. Alyssandra E. and Phoenix E. Vargas Daughters of Ricardo Vargas Jr. & Nicole Covarrubias Abdiel N. Medero Son of Miguel A. Medero & Ma. del Rosario Juarez Jonathan L. Juarez. Son of Jonathan M. Juarez & Martha C. Villalobos Erik Medina Son of Jose L. Medina & Elizabeth Villalpando I would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone for your prayers, cards and get well wishes for my recovery! I am slowly on the mend but greatly appreciate all your love & support. Sincerely, Rita Ulrich Vocations Corner by Rev. Keith Romke Relationship – Identity - Mission I’d like to propose that in order to know where we are called, that we must first understand who we are, and that in order to understand who we are, we have to know where we come from. So often in life, we assess ourselves based on what we do, we look at people who have done great things as “somebodies” and those who haven’t shown much, to be “nobodies.” We ourselves may feel like we are of little worth if we struggle in life and don’t seem to see great results from our efforts in life. This assessment of what we do thus affects how we view ourselves, which can in turn affect our relationships. God, however, wants for us to see things in the exact opposite way! We begin by looking at our relationships. From the moment of our baptism, we are brought into the relationship of being sons and daughters of God! We must NEVER lose sight of this fact, because it gives us a profound and extraordinary dignity. This relationship defines who we are and gives us our Identity! And only when we accept and acknowledge this identity, are we able to receive our mission. Look at Mother Theresa, the things that she did were seemingly small in the eye of the world, but she did what she did with love as a response to her identity that stemmed from her relationship with God. Now, I’d say that she had pretty good results! So today, accept your identity from God, and let that identity reveal your mission.
