OLW MASSES HAVE DOUBLED IN JULY!
Father Arthur and the Church Reopening Team are
excited to announce that Our Lady of the Wayside
Mass offerings have doubled beginning this weekend.
"The Reopening Team met to review compliance and
success of the 9:30 and 11:30 masses and determined
that we are now in a ready position to double our
Mass offerings," said Fr. Arthur. "Our goal from the
beginning was to offer Mass and Holy Communion to
as many parishioners as was safely possible. We
started conservatively, offering two Sunday Masses to
50 parishioners each. We learned from this process,
made adjustments and increased attendance to 125
parishioners at each Mass last week. And based on
continued success of this roll-out process, we are now
prepared to add 5:00 pm Saturday Vigil Mass and a
6:00 pm Sunday Mass to the 9:30/11:30 am Sunday
lineup, starting in July," added Father.
Preregistration for Mass attendance is mandatory
and is available starting at 7:00 am the Friday preced-
ing each Saturday or Sunday Mass. Preregister online
here: https://bit.ly/37RmjR8. If you require assistance
registering, please contact Kathy Freiburger in the
parish office at (847) 253-5353.
Face masks must be worn at all Masses throughout
the entire time you are in the building. Please also
bring hand sanitizer if you have it.
Those unable or not quite ready to return to live Mass,
or those considered to be 'most vulnerable,' are en-
couraged to attend Mass virtually. Streaming Mass
continues to be offered live on OLW's Facebook page
at 5:00 pm each Saturday and will also be available
on the parish website shortly after the conclusion of
live-streaming Mass. Dispensation is still offered by
the Archdiocese.
DUE TO THE NATIONAL HOLIDAY THERE IS AN ABBREVIATED BULLETIN THIS WEEKEND
It is available on the website only with no hardcopy in
the parish office.
A full bulletin will return on July 12.

Guidelines for reopening the schools and classes were issued by the state of Illinois this past week. The guide- lines were provided to the media at the same time as schools received them. As such, we have just begun reading through them. The Chicago Archdiocese is currently re-viewing the new state guidelines as they relate to their own plans. They have indicated they will be providing specific details to school administrators in the next 2-3 weeks. The Office of Catholic Schools has been working on its own re-opening plan for several weeks. We continue to wait for the details needed to finalize a specific plan for OLW. At that time, we will be able to finalize plans for REP and commu-nicate them to all our families.
REGISTRATION
For the Religious Education Program, Grades
1-8, For Year 2020-2021
As we prepare classes for the new Religious Education year and develop safe plans under state guidelines for COVID, we encourage all families to complete the registration packets found on the parish website un-der Education. Receiving all the required paperwork makes finalizing classroom placement and obtaining books, supplies and most importantly, catechists, more efficient. If you have any questions please call the Office at 847-398-5011.

PRAY FOR THE SICK
CYCLES OF FAITH
July 5, 2020
14th Sunday in Ordinary Time
There’s a Christian drama called Baggage. In the course
of this monologue, the main character carries more and
more (empty) luggage, slings, and backpacks, explaining
how, through this and that scene, he collects baggage.
You can see the actor start to be weighed down by what
he’s carrying, but it’s so understandable why he does it:
we all do the same. He tries unsuccessfully to unload
that baggage onto others, but to no avail. In the climax of
the script, the actor drops all of the bags with a huge sigh
of relief. This image, while slightly kitschy, can be a
helpful image for us as we consider this all too familiar
Gospel text.
A myriad of scenarios can explain the weight that we
hold deep within: it can be the confusion and anxiety
about the current events we see on the news and social
media; it can be discouragement about being furloughed;
it can be the frustration from our children making poor
life choices; it can be the shame from our secret, hidden
addictive behaviors; it can be a powerlessness in con-
fronting a tense relationship with a family member; it
can be the regret we bear for failures or unresolved con-
flict from our past. The older we get it seems as though
the more baggage we tend to collect. I think that’s nor-
mal, but I also think that we have yet to learn how to let
the baggage go … just like the actor in the skit.
So, when Jesus says, “Come to me … I will give you
rest,” I learned to take him at his word. I took a leap of
faith and laid my heart bare that morning … and the rest
that Jesus talks about was not threatening to me; it was
actually inviting. The burdens that I was carrying … he
took them off my shoulders and emptied them on his
cross. He replaced my burdens with the yoke of disciple-
ship; in essence he said to me, “You’ve tried it your way;
now try mine … it will work out better for you in the
long run.” He has been true to his word ever since.
Our baggage has become our comfort and definition. We
don’t experience what Jesus promised because we fear,
or we doubt. But Jesus is patient as he is persistent. The
invitation will always be there. Grace is always available
to us … but it is “hidden” (cf v 26) because we have hid-
den our faults, thinking that Jesus isn’t “God enough” to
know about them, let alone to forgive us for them. So,
we go on living our lives of quiet desperation, hoping for
relief, lacking the gumption to grasp for it. Weighted
down, we lose our balance often, blaming this person or
that scenario. We’d like to “rejoice heartily,” but we
think erroneously we are condemned to “labor and bur-
dens.” But just maybe, right before inconsolable despair
envelops us when faced with our mountains of impossi-
bilities, we can utter seven words — if even sheepishly
— “I can’t anymore; you can; please do.”
Then just watch what Jesus will do!
