Dear Parishioners, Holy Week invites us to pray over the events of our lives. Sometimes we have a hard time understanding how God can write with crooked lines on our lives, but the passion of Christ is the power of love at work, straightening our crooked lines. Good and bad are always going to be mixed up in our lives. Sometimes we make mistakes; some-times we get things right – we zig and zag. But the one thing we know is that in all our ups and downs, Jesus is with us. May the grace of God's mercy come upon you and your family during Holy Week! Father Mike Meany THE FEAST OF DIVINE MERCY April 3, 2016 The Sacrament of Reconciliation The Tribunal of Mercy Jesus said: Come with faith to the feet of My representative (1448) I, Myself am waiting there for you. I am only hidden by the priest. I Myself act in your soul (1602)…Make your confession before Me. The person of the priest is, for Me, only a screen. Never analyze what sort of a priest it is that I am making use of; open your soul in confession as you would to Me, and I will fill it with My light (1725). The Eucharist The Presence of Mercy In His great love for us, the Lord Jesus gave us a great miracle of mercy: the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. Christ is fully present as He is in Heaven. St. Faustina comments; “Oh what awesome mysteries take place during the Mass!…....One day we will know what God is doing for us in each Mass, and what sort of gift He is preparing in it for us. Only His divine love could permit that such a gift be provided for us…...this fountain of life gushing forth with such

sweetness and power.”(914)

Again, this year, we will celebrate The Feast of Mercy with 2:00 PM English/Polish Confessions, 3:00 PM bilingual Mass,

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

together in front of the Blessed Sacrament gives many graces and is so peaceful.

PERPETUAL

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

Christ's followers were skeptical when He preached the reality of His Body and Blood as food and drink. St. John said, "many of His disci-ples withdrew and no longer went about with Him."

Seeing this, Jesus asked the Twelve, "Do you also want to leave me?" Simon Peter did not understand any more than those who left Christ, but his loyalty was more firm. "Lord," he said, "to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." We have the "Word of Eternal Life" right here with us day and night in our Adoration Chapel. Do you have something you want to ask Him? There are several hours needing adorers. Please pick one for your personal hour with Him.


READINGS FOR MARCH 27 First Reading — Peter is an eyewitness: The Lord is risen (Acts 10:34a, 37-43). Psalm — This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad (Psalm 118). (1) Second Reading — All who are baptized, set your hearts in heaven (Colossians 3:1-4) or (2) Second Reading — Christ our Passover is sacri-ficed; therefore let us celebrate (1 Corinthians 5:6b-8). Gospel — Three witnesses, Mary, Peter, and John; each responds to the empty tomb (John 20:1-9) or Luke 24:1-12 (or, at an afternoon or evening Mass, Luke 24:13-35).

HOLY THURSDAY PILGRIMAGE REVIVAL OF A TIMELESS TRADITION

Immediately following the 7:00 PM Mass of the Lord’s Supper, St. John Brebeuf Parish offers the opportunity to revive the age-old tradition of the “Visitation of Churches”. We are invited to pray with our Lord late into the night, through the sacrament of the Mass, followed by an evening visiting five “Altars of Repose” throughout Chicago. Chartered school buses will pick us up outside of St. John Brebeuf and will whisk us from church to church for our evening of prayer. The Churches we tentatively plan to visit are: St. Hyacinth Basilica, Holy Trinity, St. Stanislaus Kostka, St. John Cantius, and St. Mary of the Angels. The evening will end with night prayer at about midnight, when the buses return us to St. John Brebeuf. Reservations are not only a must, but they are limited too. Please fill out the form below and return it to the parish office, along with your donation of $10.00, to help defer

the expense of the buses, by Monday, March 21st. For additional information, please contact Barbara Bronder at 847-966-8145.

Questions? Call (in Polish or English)

Mrs. Ewa Fair, SJB Children's Choir Director (773) 551-0284.

The Anointing of the Sick Liturgy What do you know about this Sacrament and why has the church given us a sacrament to care for the sick. As Roman Catholics we have always believed in and practiced the anointing/healing of the sick. Jesus healed people according to the scriptures as found in (James 5:14-15): “Is there anyone sick among you? He should ask for the presbyters of the church. They in turn are to pray over him, anointing with oil in the Name [of the Lord]. This prayer uttered in faith will re-claim the one who is ill, and the Lord will restore him to health.” Our parish will be celebrating this special encounter with God on Saturday, April 9 at 10:00 a.m. Please attend if you feel that at this time in your life you need God’s tender care.

We cordially invite you, family, and care givers to attend Mass on

March 20: Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion

Today is Palm Sunday and the begin-ning of the holiest of Christian weeks.

Let us pray for the grace to take up our own cross and to follow Jesus through death to new life. Do you, or a family you know need assistance? Please call the Society of St. Vincent de Paul so that together we can help the suffering and poor. All information will be strictly confidential.

Deacon Andy Beierwaltes Telephone: (847) 966-6961

"... the temptation grows to have

recourse to euthanasia, that is, to take control of death and bring it before its time, ending one’s own life or the life

of others. In reality, what might seem logical and hu-mane, when looked at more closely is seen to be sense-less and inhumane. Here we are faced with one of the more alarming symptoms of the 'culture of death'." Please pray to end the culture of death. St. John Paul II. Let us continue to pray daily: “Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.” VIRTUS TRAINING Per Archdiocese policy, all employees and volunteers working with children, in any Catholic Parish and/or School must attend a Virtus Training Session, before beginning their service to their faith community.

You must also be registered on-line in advance of the date of the class.

Drodzy Parafianie, Wielki Tydzień zachęca do modlitwy nad wydarzeniami z naszego życia. Czasami mamy trudności ze zrozumieniem, jak Bóg może pisać z krzywych liniach naszego życia, ale pasja Chrystusa jest siłą miłości czynnej, poprawiającej nasze krzywe linie. Dobro i zło zawsze będzie mieszać się w naszym życiu. Czasami popełniamy błędy, czasami też czynimy coś dobrego – raz w lewo raz w prawo. Ale jedno wiemy, że we wszystkich naszych wzlotach i upadkach, Jezus jest z nami. Niech łaska Bożego miłosierdzia zstąpi na Was i Wasze rodziny podczas Wielkiego Tygodnia! Ks. Mike Meany

Niedziela Palmowa Męki Pańskiej

Dzisiaj jest Niedziela Palmowa i początek najświętszych chrześcijańskich tygodni. Módlmy się o łaskę podjęcia naszego własnego krzyża, aby naśladować Jezusa przez śmierć do nowego życia. Czy ty, lub rodziny, które znasz potrzebują pomocy? Proszę zadzwonić do Wspólnoty Świętego Win-centego a Paulo, które może pomóc cierpiącym i ubogim. Wszystkie informacje będą poufne.

Sakrament Pojednania Trybunałem miłosierdzia Jezus powiedział: Przyjdź z wiarą do stóp zastępcy Mojego (1448) Ja sam w konfesjonale czekam na ciebie. Zasłaniam się tylko kapłanem, lecz sam działam w duszy (1602)... Jak się przygotowujesz w mojej obecności, tak się i spowiadasz przede mną, kapłanem się tylko zasłaniam. Nigdy nie rozbieraj, jaki jest ten kapłan, którym się zasłoniłem, i tak się odsłaniaj w spowiedzi, jako przede mną, a duszę twoją napełnię światłem moim (1725). Eucharystia Obecność Miłosierdzia W swej wielkiej miłości do nas, Pan Jezus dał nam wielki cud miłosierdzia w sakramencie Eucharystii. –Chrystus Jest w pełni obecny, takim, jakim On jest w niebie. Komentarze Faustyny; "O, jak wielkie tajemnice dzieją się w czasie Mszy Świętej! …

Poznamy kiedyś, co Bóg czyni dla nas w każdej Mszy Świętej i jaki w niej dla nas gotuje dar. Jego boska miłość tylko na taki dar zdobyć się mogła… to tryskający zdrój żywota z taką słodyczą i mocą dla każdej duszy."(914)
