Christ the King Mission Statement
The People of Christ the King in Lombard are a welcoming, vibrant faith community building the kingdom of God through our many ministries. We celebrate our diversity, seeking to realize the gifts of each member of our parish, as we are all joined together under one faith, in a spiritual journey of evangelization, service to others, and a reverence for all life. In the Eucharist, we find new life, and bring this life to others through stewardship, education, and worship.

Week #12 - Seven Deadly Sins - Seven Lively Virtues Join noted Professor of Theology and author, Fr. Robert Barron, in this revealing presentation as he sheds light on the Seven Deadly Sins those great spiritual blocks that inhibit our relationship with God and others - and the antidote to them, the Seven Lively Virtues! Fr. Barron uses Dante's DIVINE COMEDY to expose these sinful patterns in our lives and show how they are effectively counteracted by the cultivation of virtue through the development of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This fascinating journey shows the path that God has designed to lead us to health, happiness and holiness.

Patience
Patience is a virtue that brings with it many rewards. One of the most rewarding benefits advanced by this virtue is found in the habit of delayed gratification. We live in a culture that is constantly shouting, You deserve it, and, you can have it right now! The result is many people fall prey to instant gratification. Instant gratification places a serious roadblock on our path to being the best disciples and stewards we can be. This is where patience can reward us. One of the hallmarks of stewardship is generosity. However, it is difficult to be generous if we too frequently give in to instant gratification. Advertisers would have us believe that we can spend our way to happiness. The truth is that sharing first and spending second is the path to sustained happiness and greater generosity. When it comes to developing patience with our spending habits, the best course of action is to preface every spending decision with the question, Do I need this or do I simply want it? This question is at the heart of good financial stewardship. The modern media feeds our subconscious minds with hundreds of images every day, all intended to blur the difference between what we legitimately need and what we simply want. If we are not careful these images can have a powerful influence on our attitudes. Whoever controls the images controls the culture (Bishop Robert Morneau).

Hospitality
A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
In todays Gospel Jesus continues to teach his followers how to embrace his attitude toward the Law, and its fulfillment. Among these familiar teachings, Jesus enjoins his followers to be generous givers without regard to whether they will receive equally back from those to whom they are being generous. He directs them not to refuse either the person who begs or the person who wants to borrow from them. They are not to react in these situations by trying to protect themselves and make sure that they will be treated fairly. Jesus wants his listeners to have an attitude toward another person that transcends that other persons character, motives or behavior. In this way, he maintains, they must be perfect, as their heavenly Father is perfect. How might we cultivate such an attitude toward giving?
Join us for Hospitality the weekend of March 1st and 2nd after all the Masses hosted by The Prayer Group in the PLC.
