Dear Parish Family, This past Thursday our Evangelization Committee, under the direction of John Vrdolyak, organized our annual Corpus Christi Procession through the streets of Hinsdale and Clarendon Hills. How grateful we are to Bishop Conlon for joining us for this wonderful celebration. I am especially grateful and edified by all those who witnessed their faith as we processed the Eucharist through the streets of our town. What an incredible show of faith and proclamation of our belief in Jesus, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. This Sunday we celebrate a beautiful feast in honor of the Lord Jesus. Meant to deepen our faith and increase devotion to Christ, present in the Blessed Sacrament, today’s Solemnity of Corpus Christi goes back to the 13th century. But it actually celebrates something much older, the institution of the Mystery of the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist, given to His followers on that first Holy Thursday — the same day He gave us the gift of the ordained Priesthood. In the Eucharist He gives us Himself, food for the journey and a taste of the promise of Heaven if we are faithful to Him. What an awesome gift, an incredible mystery we have in the Eucharist. We are a Church centered on the Eucharist, and dependant upon the priesthood — it is from the priests that we receive so precious a gift, God Himself! Thirty years ago on Monday, June 4th, I was ordained a priest at the Cathedral of Saint Raymond in Joliet. Throughout these past 30 years I’ve tried to serve the Lord faithfully as a priest, and have endeavored to consistently and faithfully pass on the faith of the Church that has been given to me, to do as the Church asked me to do, to believe and teach what she believes and teaches. As with any life, my life as a priest has been filled with many happy and beautiful moments, along with some difficult times of sadness and challenge. Through it all, I know that God has been there. I am happy in my life as a priest, and could not see myself doing anything else. My decision to be a priest came to me at a very early age, actually, I was three years old! After 8th grade I entered the seminary. Twelve years later I was ordained a priest. But, my “life in the Church” actually began 42 years ago when I entered the seminary. In any event... it’s a lot of years! I love the Church, I love the priesthood, and am so happy to be able to celebrate 30 years of priestly life and service to the Church I love. As I celebrate my anniversary of ordination this weekend, I especially want to thank God for having given me life, calling me to a life of faith in the Catholic Church, and calling me to serve Him as His priest. I would ask all of you to pray for me, for all our priests, and for vocations to the priesthood and to the Religious

Saint Pope John Paul II: The Solemnity of Corpus Christi

The solemnity of Corpus Christi is a feast of adoration, contemplation, and exaltation. The feast in which the People of God should unite around the most precious treasure inherited from Christ, the Sacrament of His very Presence, and praise, sing, and carry Him in procession through the streets of the city. This is a sublime and ineffable mystery. The

Mystery before which one remains spellbound and silent, in an attitude of profound ecstatic contemplation. In the Sacrament of the altar, all the depth of the mystery of Christ is offered for our loving contemplation... In His Body and His Blood the invisible face of Christ, the Son of God, is revealed. By the Eucharistic Bread we nourish ourselves in order to become authentic witnesses of the Gospel. We need this bread in order to grow in love, an indispensable condition for recognizing the face of Christ in the face of one's brethren. It is necessary to journey setting out anew from Christ, that is, from the Eucharist. We journey with generosity and courage, seeking communion within our ecclesial community and dedicating ourselves with love to humble and selfless service toward all, especially the most needy.”

“May Christians, reinvigorated by His Body and by His Blood, show Christ

to all with their way of life — with their unity, with their joyful faith... with their goodness!”

The Beautiful Hands of a Priest We need them in life’s early morning,

We need them again at its close; We feel their warm clasp of true friendship,

We seek them when tasting life’s woes. When we come to this world we are sinful,

The greatest as well as the least; And the hand that makes us pure as angels

is the beautiful hand of a priest.

At the altar each day we behold them; And the hands of a king on his throne

Are not equal to them in their greatness! Their dignity stands all alone.

For there in the stillness of morning ‘Ere the sun has emerged from the east,

There God rests between the pure fingers Of the beautiful hands of a priest.

And when we are tempted to wander To paths of shame and of sin,

‘Tis the hand of a priest will absolve us, Not once, but again and again!

And when we are taking life’s partner, Other hands may prepare us a feast;

But the hand that will bless and unite us Is the beautiful hand of a priest.

God bless them and keep them all holy For the host which their fingers caress;

What can a poor sinner do better Than to ask Him Who chose thee to bless?

When death on our eyelids is falling; May our courage and strength be increased

By seeing raised o’er us in blessing The beautiful hands of a priest.

[unknown]

Pray daily for vocations to the priesthood and religious life; and pray for those

who have already given their lives in service to Christ and to His Church!

Pope Saint John Paul II Eucharistic Adoration Chapel

The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us!

The Pope Saint John Paul II Eucharistic Adoration Chapel is available for Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament seven days a week, 24 hours a day! Frequent visits to the chapel are encouraged. Everyone is welcome at any time. We live in troubling times with many worries and decisions. Who better than

Jesus to bring them to? Stop in any time of the day or night in the Adoration Chapel [located in the church building — “behind” the sanctuary. Enter the Chapel directly to the west of the Rectory Office, on the east side of the church. The path is clearly marked]. You can sign-up for ANY HOUR of the day or night... more adorers are always welcome and needed. Sign-up as an individual, or as a family/group. Commit to a specific weekly hour of adoration, and then, simply make sure someone is there from the family/group to fulfill the commitment. By making a “public” commitment to “be there,” the obligation becomes easier to keep, because others are counting on you. Jesus is waiting for you... don’t disappoint Him! We are always in need of more people to make the sacrifice of time and effort, to be with HIM in Eucharistic Adoration.

For more information regarding the Chapel and/or specific hours of adoration contact:

Why we call Priests... “Father” At first glance, it may seem confusing. In Matthew 23:9 Jesus say: “Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven.” And yet all Christians call their dad "father." Christians are not alone in the use of this title, and yet, this does not normally present a problem. We have to be careful not to fall into the error of “fundamentalist

gridlock” and taking the scriptural verse out of context. You need to read the entire Bible and pay attention to all of the verses and relate them to each other. Our Lord Jesus Christ himself taught us to “honor your father and your mother” (Mt 9:19) and also reminded the Jews, "Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died" (Jn 6:48). So, if Jesus taught us to "call no one on earth your father," why does He quote the Fourth Commandment and refer to the Jewish ancestors as fathers? Being God, He cannot contradict himself, so there must be a deeper meaning to the notion “call no man father but our Father in heaven.” The origin of calling priests "father" probably goes all the way back to apostolic times when St. Paul wrote: “Even if you should have countless guides to Christ, yet you do not have many fathers, for I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel" (1 Cor 4:15). When Jesus said, "call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven," He taught us that all fatherhood and all authority comes from God the Father in Heaven, source of all life and truth. For that reason we should revere, respect and obey legitimate authority, as we recognize that fatherhood is a great gift to the human race. Now more than ever we need to promote and recover a high regard for fatherhood. Children who grow up fatherless are at much higher risk for bad behavior. We call priests "Father" because they participate in the spiritual “father-hood” of God as His ordained (chosen and consecrated) ministers. For that reason, we respect priests because of their office of service, chosen and ordained by God Himself, and because they share in the priesthood of Christ, teaching, sanctifying and governing the Church of God.

Vocations and Eucharistic Adoration Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta was once asked how she got so many women to join her religious order. She explained: "We were just like other religious congregations with few vocations. Then at our chapter in the 1970s we made a decision to have a holy hour of adoration of the Eucharist in all our convents each evening. Many blessings resulted from this Holy Hour. We began to see more clearly our mission to serve the poor in Christ's name. We began to live a more fruitful family life among ourselves. We experienced double the number of vocations in our congregation. And we grew personally in our intimacy with the Lord present in the Eucharist. It has been proven time and time again that where there is Eucharistic Devotion, in parishes where there is a Perpetual Adoration Chapel, vocations increase. There is a direct link between time spent in the presence of the Eucharist and vocations to the priesthood and religious life.

Pray for and support our vocations!

Eternal Rest, Grant Unto Him, O Lord! Father John Tapper!

The Solemnity of Corpus Christi: The Feast of the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist

The Eucharist stands at the center of our life as disciples and as a Church. The Second Vatican Council teaches that the Eucharist is the source and summit of the true Christian life, and from it all the powers and graces of the Church flow. Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, the feast of the Body and Blood of Jesus.

Established in the 13th century, this feast is meant to focus our attention and renew our faith in the real presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. A Gallup survey taken, which looked at U.S. Catholic understanding of Holy Communion was more than a little disheartening. According to the survey, only 30 percent believe in the Real Presence ~ believe they are really and truly receiving the Body and Blood, soul and divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ, under the appearance of bread and wine. This belief is known as transubstantiation, and is the proper Catholic understanding and belief in the miracle of the Eucharist. Some 29 percent think they are receiving bread and wine, which symbolize the spirit and teachings of Jesus and in so doing are expressing their attachment to His person and words. Another 10 percent understand that they are receiving bread and wine, in which Jesus is really and truly present. This notion of believing that Jesus is present along with the bread and wine is known as consubstantiation. This erroneous belief stands in opposition to the Catholic belief of transubstantiation, which holds that the appearance remains of bread and wine, but the substance of the bread and wine is changed completely into the body and blood of Jesus. Twenty three percent say they are receiving the Body and Blood of Christ, which has become that because of their personal belief. These results are terribly alarming because only the first formulation is true, orthodox Catholic doctrine. The others are all variations of the 16th-century Protestant teachings from Martin Luther, John Calvin, Huldrych Zwingli and others. As such, they are of course, erroneous. We, as Catholics, believe and profess that in this sacrament the words of consecration accomplish three wondrous effects: 1) The true body of the Lord Jesus Christ, born of the Virgin Mary and now seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven, is contained in the Eucharist. 2) None of the substance of bread and wine remains in the sacrament after the words of consecration are pronounced by the priest. 3) In the place of the substance of bread and wine comes the substance of the body and blood of Jesus Christ. In other words, the whole Christ- body, blood, and soul, his sacred humanity and his divinity- come into existence in this wonderful sacrament. The truth of the Eucharistic reality is that Jesus is fully present, Body and Blood in either of the

Eucharistic species. Receiving the sacred host [the usual way in the Western Church], constitutes reception of the “whole Christ” - Body and Blood. People may offer differing opinions, based on emotions or “mis-information,” but the reality and truth remains the same. One of the greatest problems we have in the Church today is the spreading evaporation of faith in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Genuflections are disappearing, and reverence in church is becoming a thing of the past. Loud talking and casual dress are increasingly common. Churches are gradually turning into “meeting halls”, and the liturgy is becoming human-centered instead of God-centered. Churches across the Country have become “concert halls”, and congregations have become audiences expecting to be entertained ~ proof of this is found when a congregation will applaud the “performers” following the liturgy, rather than seeing the ministers of the liturgy as “fellow servants” of the liturgy offering due worship to Almighty God in true humility. We have every reason to wonder how this most central teaching of our Catholic faith got so watered down and distorted over the past 40 years. Efforts to correct the errors are often met with hostility and rejection by people. Even adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is being dismissed as “pre-Vatican II”, usually by people who never even read the documents of the Second Vatican Council. The Council never did, nor could it do away with the Eucharist, or the awe, reverence and adoration due the Most Blessed Sacrament. Several presences of Jesus exist besides his presence in the Eucharist. He is present in all the baptized who are united in grace as members of the Body of Christ, the Church [when united with the bishops and priests], in the scriptures, which are the Word of the Lord; and in the priest, who is another Christ as one with Christ the head of his body, the Church. All of these presences must be remembered and honored by Catholics. Most especially we recognize the sacramental presence of Christ in the Eucharist ~ who we honor today on this Feast of Corpus Christi.

Prayer of Adoration The Most Blessed Sacrament

My Lord Jesus Christ, I adore you in all the tabernacles of the world. I offer you my life in reparation for the sins against the Blessed Sacrament, the unworthy communions, disrespect, lack of reverence in your Churches, and countless other sins against your most Holy Body and Blood. Please, my Lord, increase my faith in your Eucharistic presence so that my devotion may be fanned into a flame of love of you and that I may go into the world to proclaim your kingdom. I ask this of your mercy in your Holy Name. Amen.

Saint Isaac Jogues Roman Catholic Church

“Zeal for your House consumes me!” Psalm 69

Make your gift TODAY! Thank you for your continued support and generosity to Saint Isaac Jogues Parish. Special thanks to all those who have already responded and have generously given to our special Preserving Our Heritage Fund to complete the necessary repairs to the tower of our church, our grounds and facilities. Your gifts enable us to maintain and improve our programs and outreach to those we serve, to build-up the Catholic Faith in the Hinsdale area. Your generosity also allows us to undertake the necessary major capital repairs and improvements to our facilities. We are blessed with a beautiful parish campus, filled with substantial, solid, and beautiful buildings — built over a span of more than 80 years. And, all of them are aging, and need our constant attention. Well used on a daily basis, they require extensive ongoing maintenance. In early May, Father De Salvo sent to all registered parishioners a mailing which detailed the four projects we have to complete to keep our facilities safe, sound, and in proper working order. We need a total of almost $1.2 million to complete the necessary repairs to our buildings. After the church work is completed, we will embark on the campaign to renovate the original 1932 school building, a long overdue project that will modernize the facility and classrooms with the technology and environment needed for our children's religious education and pre-k through 8th grade education. The projected $6 to $12 million dollar project is in the beginning planning phases and, hopefully, as the church project nears completion later this summer, we are excited to roll out the details for the future school project. Each of the projects are necessary, and we would like to have them fully funded by June so that we can have the work completed this summer and avoid further damage and expense to our buildings and grounds. The projects include:

Repairs to the church tower and roof. Repair damaged plaster, painting, and HVAC of Choir

Loft. Replacement of the wooden church doors and frames. Repair broken cement and site work in front of church,

narthex, school, and parking lot. Roof repair, replacement of aging and

obsolete components of mechanical System to allow our church to function properly and avoid damage and future “emergency” repairs.

The Eucharist is the heart and soul of the Catholic Church and of our Parish — these are the steps leading to the Adoration Chapel... the heart of our parish!... will “zeal” for the house of God consume us?

Mary — Mother of the Eucharist...Pray for us! Archbishop William E. Lori — Archbishop of Baltimore

Who better to help us grow in our understanding and love of the Eucharist than Mary, the Mother of our Lord and the sanctuary of the Holy Spirit. Although the Blessed Virgin Mary was not present at the Last Supper, she remains for all time The Woman of the Eucharist, as Saint Pope John Paul II called her in his encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia.

We know from the Acts of the Apostles that Mary was present at the earliest celebrations of the Mass (2:42), and the Eucharist is never celebrated without invoking her name in the communion of saints. But Mary's role in the Eucharist goes deeper. Mary conceived the Word of God in her sinless heart before she carried him in her womb. By the power of the Holy Spirit, she conceived physically the one whom we receive, "Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity," each time we go to Communion. As she carried Jesus in her womb to visit her cousin Elizabeth, Mary "became in some way a `tabernacle' — the first 'tabernacle' in history" (Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 55). More than anyone else, Mary followed her son and embodied the kingdom of the Beatitudes that he preached. She stood beneath the cross, sharing in her son's sacrifice, her soul pierced with sorrow. She received the good news of the resurrection with joy and prayed with the apostles as the Holy Spirit descended at Pentecost. She stored in her heart the living memory of Jesus and his saving deeds, which the Church remembers and re-presents every time the Eucharist is celebrated. Mary, who assented to the mysteries of Christ, teaches us to say "Amen!" to the mysteries in which we are so privileged to share at every Mass. When we meditate on the Institution of the Eucharist, and celebrate the great mystery Christ gives us in the Eucharist [as we do on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi], we ask Mary to intercede for us, so that we may enter into the glory of this great mystery of faith. Let us ask Mary, from her place in the heavenly liturgy, to help us love the Eucharist and give thanks. And let us beg her intercession for the many Catholics who absent themselves from this mystery, which is indeed "the source and summit" of the Church's life.

Eucharistic Adoration

By the end of the eleventh century, Eucharistic adoration as we know it, began to take shape. Until then the Real Presence was taken for granted in Catholic belief and its reservation was the common practice in Catholic churches, including the chapels and oratories of religious communities. Suddenly a revolution hit the Church when Berengarius (999-1088), archdeacon of Angers in France, publicly denied that Christ was really and physically present under the species of bread and wine. Others took up the idea and began writing about the Eucharistic Christ as not exactly the Christ of the Gospels or, by implication, as not actually there. The matter became so serious that Pope Gregory VII ordered Berengarius to sign a retraction. This credo has made theological history. It was the Church’s first definitive statement of what had always been believed and never seriously challenged. The witness came from the abbot-become-pope, whose faith in the Blessed Sacrament had been nourished for years in a Benedictine monastery. Pope Gregory’s teaching on the Real Presence was quoted verbatim in Pope Paul VI’s historic document Mysterium Fidei (1965) to meet a new challenge to the Eucharist in our day — very similar to what happened in the eleventh century: I believe in my heart and openly profess that the bread and wine placed upon the altar are, by the mystery of the sacred prayer and the words of the Redeemer, substantially changed into the true and life-giving flesh and blood of Jesus Christ our Lord, and that after the consecration, there is present the true body of Christ which was born of the Virgin and offered up for the salvation of the world, hung on the cross and now sits at the right hand of the Father, and that there is present the true blood of Christ which flowed from his side. They are present not only by means of a sign and of the efficacy of the Sacrament, but also in the very reality and truth of their nature and substance. With this profession of faith, the churches of Europe began what can only be described as a Eucharistic Renaissance. Processions of the Blessed Sacrament were instituted; prescribed acts of adoration were legislated; visits to Christ in the tabernacle were encouraged; the cells of religious men and women, built next to churches, had windows made into the church to allow the religious to view and adore before the tabernacle. From the eleventh century on, devotion to the Blessed Sacrament reserved in the tabernacle became more and more prevalent in the Catholic world. At every stage in this development, members of religious orders of men and women took the lead. The Benedictine Lanfranc, as Archbishop of Canterbury, introduced from France into England numerous customs affecting the worship of the Real Presence. St. Francis of Assisi, who was never ordained a priest, had a great personal devotion to Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. His first admonition on the Holy Eucharist could not have been more precise. Sacred Scripture tells

us that the Father dwells in "light inaccessible" (I Timothy 6:16) and that "God is spirit" (John 4:24) and St. John adds, "No one at any time has seen God" (John 1:18). Because God is a spirit He can be seen only in spirit; "It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing" (John 6:63). But God the Son is equal to the Father and so He too can be seen only in the same way as the Father and the Holy Spirit. That is why all those were condemned who saw our Lord Jesus Christ in His humanity but did not see or believe in spirit in His divinity, that He was the true Son of God. In the same way now, all those are damned who see the Sacrament of the Body of Christ which is consecrated on the altar in the form of bread and wine by the words of our Lord in the hands of the priest, and do not see or believe in spirit and in God that this is really the most holy Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was this clear faith in Christ's presence in the Eucharist that sustained Francis during his severest trials. It was this same faith which inspired a whole new tradition among religious communities. It is this same faith that beckons us to solemn adoration of Jesus Christ, really and truly present in the Sacrament of His most holy Body and Blood.... come, let us adore Jesus! He is waiting for you in adoration. Give Him your heart, and HE will give you Heaven!

Jesus is waiting for you!

Memorial Day — a day of remembrance Parish Director of Liturgical Music, Nick Thomas

honored to be the Master of Ceremonies at Memorial Day Observance

Memorial Day is a day to gather with family and friends for that first picnic of the season. But, beyond our more secular observances, Memorial Day remains a solemn day of remembrance for the entire United States. It is a day we, as Americans, remember those who have served in the Armed Forces, and have made the “ultimate sacrifice” for our country. It is a day to remember those who have fallen in service to our nation in the military. A day to remember, recognize, honor, and thank them for their service and sacrifice. Memorial Day observances are part of the celebration of the day throughout our great nation. Nick Thomas, our Director of Liturgical Music, had the special honor of being the emcee for the Memorial Day observance held at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, Illinois. More than 3500 people attended the annual ceremony. While Nick served as Master of Ceremonies and provided the music for the event, Saint Isaac Jogues Parish choir members also participated. Regarding the ceremonies, Nick said: “In addition to all the other ceremonial, patriotic elements: The Advancement of Colors, Raising the Flag, Laying the Wreath, Rifle Salute, Echo Taps and to close the Retirement of Colors.... It really is a moving experience and with all the thousands of flags at the over 36,000 headstones, it is something to see and experience.” Congratulations to Nick Thomas and the members of our parish choir who were part of this observance at a National Cemetery!
