Welcome to St. Rose

This community was established by Bishop

George Lucas, former Bishop of Springfield, in the

fall of 2008 for the celebration of the extraordinary

form of the Roman Missal (Traditional Latin

Mass). If you are not familiar with this rite, do not

hesitate to ask for help from the ushers.

To follow the liturgy on Sunday, you need a red

booklet (pews) and the Sunday proper leaflet

(vestibule). For sung Masses, you may also wish to

take a hymnal (vestibule) to sing along.

On weekdays, you need a Latin-English Missal.

They are available at Poppe’s in Quincy & St. John

Fisher Bookstore in Jacksonville (see back of bulle-

tin). You may also follow the ordinary in the red

booklet.

Do not hesitate to make the responses along with

the altar boys, if you are able to do so.

To join the St. Rose of Lima Chaplaincy, please

call the parish office at 217-222-2511 or mail one

of the cards found in the back of the Church.

On Sundays and Holy Days, please come and

join us after Mass in the Church hall for coffee

and donuts.

"I bring to you news of great joy: Today

in the town of David a Savior has been born to

you. He is Christ the Lord"

St. Leo the Great in a famous sermon for Christ-

mas exclaimed himself: "Let us rejoice!" It would be unlaw-

ful to be sad today. No one is excluded from sharing in

this joy. "A Savior has been born unto us."

We do not celebrate at Christmas the coming of an

ordinary messenger of God. The prophets of the Old Tes-

tament until John the Baptist were chosen by God to bring

God's revelation, the Word of God, to mankind. We cele-

brate the coming of the Son of God in the flesh. We are

so used to these words that we do not realize any more

their full meaning. God did not content Himself to visit us,

to appear to us, to manifest himself to us, but he assumed

our very own human nature, our own flesh, body and soul,

he became one of us, like us in all things but sin.

God became a man so that not only he would teach

us who he is by his teaching but also he would reveal the

mystery of God through his own life and being. He be-

came man so that he would show us the way to heaven not

only by an abstract teaching but by his own example. If we

want to know what we should do to please God we need go

no further that to look at Our Lord and see how he acts

and reacts during his earthly life. If we want to know who is

God, let us look at Christ, he is the human icon of God.

God became man so that we may become like

God. Our Lord Jesus Christ did not content himself to

atone for our sins, he brought us, he gave us God's life it-

self, he made us children of God by giving us the super-

natural life of sanctifying grace. When we receive sanctify-

ing grace the day of our baptism or when we are sanctified

again through a good confession, we receive a sharing of

God's nature and life and the Blessed Trinity inhabits in us.

The same Pope Leo the Great exclaims himself:

"Be aware O Christians of your dignity! You have been

made partakers of the Divine Nature." God became a child

so that we may become children of God. Let us remind

ourselves often that although we are sinners and should

implore the mercy of God, we have been made children of

God and heirs of Heaven, we have received a sharing in

God's nature and we must live accordingly.

Christmas is a Holy Day of obligation. To satisfy the

obligation, attendance at one of the three Masses is suf-

ficient. If one attends more than one Mass, one may

receive twice Holy Communion. Because this Friday is

a Holy Day of Obligation and a Solemnity, it is not a

day of penance. So no abstinence or other penance is

required. The same is true for Friday, January 1, 2010.
