The light from the candle's flame is a powerful symbol of Christ, the Light of the world. You may request to have the Sanctuary Lights lit for yourself, a loved one or in a special intention for a week. Please call the Parish Office or stop by the sacristy.

Remember in Prayer As members of the parish faith community, it is our responsibility to remember both in concrete and spiritual ways those who cannot celebrate with us each week because they are ill. Those who are sick in turn, remember all of us daily in their prayers and in their sufferings.

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Monday: St. Maria Gore Thursday: St. Augus ne Zhao Rong and Companions Saturday: St. Benedict

T he sacrament of Reconcilia on gives us the right to whatever actual graces we may need, and as we need them, in order that we may make atonement for our past sins

and may conquer our future tempta ons. This is the special “sacramental grace” of Pen-ance; it for fies us against a relapse into sin. It is a spiritual medicine which strengthens as well as heals. That is why a person intent upon leading a good life will make it a prac-

ce to receive the sacrament of Reconcilia on o en. Frequent confession is one of the best guarantees against falling into grave sin. All these results of the sacrament of Rec-oncilia on—restora on or increase of sanc fying grace, forgiveness of sins, remission of punishment, restora on of merit, grace to conquer tempta on—all these are possible only because of the infinite merits of Jesus Christ, which the sacrament of Reconcilia on applies to our souls. Jesus on the cross already has “done our work for us”. In the sacrament of Reconcilia on we simply give God a chance to share with us the infinite merits of his Son.

THE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION IS CELEBRATED IN OUR CHURCH MONDAY thru SATURDAY FROM 6 – 7.00PM.

HOW DOES A CHRISTIAN RESPOND IN TIME OF SOCIAL CRISIS? by Fr. Blake Bri on June 25, 2020 www.wordonfire.org

July 5, 2020 14th Ordinary Sunday Page Eight

(...) The current poli cal, moral, societal and economic environment appears for some to be a barren wasteland. Things we used to take for granted-faith, marriage, family, morality, truth-appear to be relics of the past. Even within the Church we constantly hear about the crisis of voca ons, the growing number of unaffiliated Catholics and the general lull in people who are prac cing the faith. Much like the forest of pines decimated by pes lence on my family’s property, every cultural founda on is seemingly crumbling around us, devoured by the plague of rela vism, irra onality, egoism and superficiality. The Church is standing alone in the field of the world while various structures of civiliza on deconstruct around her. What is the role of the Church amidst such erosion? What is our task in a world torn by violence, hedonism and strife? In the Gospel of John, chapter 15, we hear Jesus’ keen metaphor about the vine and the branches: “I am the vine, you are the branches” (Jn. 15:5). There are many wonderful commentaries on this par cular verse of scripture. However, if we examine the en rety of Jesus’ homily on the vine and the branches, specifically in light of the first two verses, we will no ce another profound insight about the basic a tude of the Chris an life. The Lord opens his reflec on by sta ng, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. He takes away every branch that does not bear fruit and everyone that does he prunes so as to produce more fruit” (Jn. 15:1-2). Reading this line in tandem with verse 5 reveals three key characters in the analogy, each with a specific role: The Father (vinedresser), the Son (vine) and the individual Chris an (branch). It is important to note that the primary actor is the Father. He is the vinedresser, the one entrusted to harvest the plant. Herein lies a vital point. We cannot care for and prune ourselves. A person who tries to manifest their own des ny or live according to their own designs will always go awry. The branch is essen ally a recep ve en ty, it is the part of the plant that receives. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the metaphor employed by Christ in John 15 is intended not only to instruct us on our place in rela on to Himself and the Father, but also the basic a tude and modus operandi of our Chris an lives. There is a tempta on in mes of crisis to imprudently react or needlessly despair. We allow the circumstances of the world to dictate our responses to it. As a result, the residue of secular mentali es seep into Catholic spirituality blinding us to God’s presence. We are the branches. A branch has only one job: to be nourished. In so doing, it naturally produces fruit under the watchful eye of the gardener. “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (Jn. 16:33). In mes of upheaval, our first responsibility is not poli cal ac vism or societal revolu on. These are not how Chris ans respond to evil or injus ce. The uniqueness of Chris an ac on lies in its ability to rise above the chaos which surrounds it by acknowledging the freedom wrought for us through the Risen Lord. This is accompanied by a sagacious foresight which allows the Church to see beyond immediate troubles and short-term solu ons.

Throughout history, the Church has always been able to play the long game. She acknowledges the trials of the day with the wisdom of the morrow. She never allows herself to get caught up in the frenzy and shortsightedness of the moment. That is why she is constantly able to address the concerns of her children with prophe c clarity when the rest of the world is seduced by its own passing ideals. One such example is when St. Paul VI prac cally stood alone in his renuncia on of contracep on while other religious and poli cal leaders were lauding it as a great innova on. He did not succumb to popular pressure. The saint prayed, fasted and listened. He was s ll when civiliza on was thrashing. As a result, he recognized a danger long before many others could. “Be s ll and know that I am God” (Ps. 46:10). Prayerful s llness and recogni on of God’s sovereignty is the founda ons of Chris an ac on. I am well aware of the anger, fear, anxiety and confusion that is consuming the hearts of so many people. Yet, Catholics must be vigilant and wise in how we respond to what is before us as well as where we may best invest our energies. Now is a me for prayer and forma on. Like St. Benedict a er the Fall of Rome, our genera on of Chris ans will be entrusted with the re-humaniza on of culture. As such, we cannot fall vic m to the whims and emo ons of the age. We must govern our passions with reason and discern how Christ desires us to act for the greatest good. On the night He was betrayed, Jesus did not command His apostles to violence or protest. His command was simple: “Watch and pray” (Ma . 26:41). We must keep our eyes on Christ…not our television set or social media accounts. Jesus must be our premier social commentator and influencer. If not, we will make the fatal mistake of thinking our own ideas are the solu ons to society’s problems. Only with Christ can we develop authen c reforms and programs which ensure true jus ce and freedom for all. In the face of the above-wri en reflec on, some may recall Jesus’ cleansing of the temple (Ma . 21:12-17) or His confronta on with the Pharisees during the Feast of Booths (Jn. 8:48-59). But, we must always read Sacred Scripture in the context of the whole. Our Lord spend 40 days in the desert and three years of prayer and fas ng with the Father before se ng these events in mo on. With a heart both pure and sacred, Christ opposed the wrongs of His day, but always in dialogue with Father. He was not reac onary. He was always ac ng in obedience and mercy. Many of us have yet to arrive at such a purity of intent in our own hearts which can only be achieved by following our Lord’s example of “frequently withdrawing into the wilderness to pray” (Lk. 5:16). The field around Mother Church seems barren and desolate. But, a great spring me awaits us. It is not hopeless. There is a forest of grace wai ng to bloom. All we have to do – and it is hard enough for most of us — is faithfully abide and be rooted in Christ. The Father will ensure the blossoming of the pasture; the birth of a civiliza on of love. The Lord can take the mustard seed of our faith and transform it into “the largest of plants where even the birds come to nest within its branches” (Ma . 13:32)

OFIARA MSZY ŚWIĘTYCH Czy warto ofiarować w czyjejś intencji Mszę Św.? Otóż

modlitwa za innych jest najbardziej uniwersalnym darem, jakiego mogą udzielać sobie chrześcijanie. I choć dzisiejszy świat, w którym liczy się to, co materialne, nie potrafi jej docenić, to jednak wielu głęboko wierzącym nie raz dane było doświadczyć niezwykłej mocy

zanoszonych przez nich modlitw. A Msza Święta jest szczególnym rodzajem modlitwy, bo jak w żadnej innej obecność Boga jest wręcz namacalna. Dzięki tej bliskości, dzięki czystości naszego serca i łasce możemy wypraszać potrzebne nam i naszym bliskim dary. Pan Bóg sam będzie wiedział, jak obdarować tych, za których odprawiana jest Mszą Święta. Istnieje wiele potwierdzonych świadectw o cudownej sile Eucharystii. Dlaczego więc nie skorzystać z takiej możliwości, którą przecież mamy dzięki samemu Chrystusowi. Polecamy szczególnej uwadze możliwość zamawiania Mszy św. za zmarłych lub w innych wybranych intencjach. Intencje Mszalne można zamawiać w zakrystii lub DZWONIĄC do biura parafialnego (773) 622-5900 x. 225.

OZDOBNE KARTKI INTENCJALNE z wizerunkiem naszego kościoła oraz św. Ferdynanda upamiętniające osobę, za którą została zamówiona intencja są do nabycia w biurze parafialnym za dodatkowa ofiarą.

SAKRAMENT POKUTY I POJEDNANIA Ci, którzy przystępują do sakramentu pokuty, otrzymują

od miłosierdzia Bożego przebaczenie zniewagi

wyrządzonej Bogu i równocześnie dostępują pojednania z

Kościołem, któremu grzesząc, zadali ranę, a który

przyczynia się do ich nawrócenia miłością, przykładem i

modliwa.

Spowiedź święta – jest szczególnym sakramentem

Miłosierdzia Bożego – sakramentem nawrócenia, pokuty,

przebaczenia i pojednania. Człowiek wierzący korzysta z

dobrodziejstwa sakramentu pojednania godnie i możliwie

często, a bezzwłocznie w przypadku popełnienia

grzechów. W sakramencie tym doświadczamy radości jako

owocu spotkania z Bogiem. Jednak wiele zależy ode mnie

samego i od mojej dyspozycji, czyli odpowiedniego

przygotowania do odbycia spowiedzi św. i mojego

podejścia do sakramentu pojednania i pokuty.

DO SAKRAMENTU SPOWIEDZI

MOŻNA PRZYSTĄPIĆ W NASZYM

KOŚCIELE CODZIENNIE OD GODZ. 6—7

WIECZOREM.

MSZA ŚW. ZA OJCZYZNĘ — PIĄTEK—10 LIPCA Serdecznie zapraszamy na Mszę św. za Ojczyznę, w piątek, 10 lipca o godz 7:00 wieczorem, podczas której modlimy się za naszą Ojczyznę Polskę.

Wizerunek Jana Pawła II na monecie watykańskiej

W związku z setną rocznicą urodzin Karola Wojtyły watykański Urząd Numizmatyczny wydał monetę o nominale 2 euro przedstawiającą Jana Pawła II. Jak podkreśla Mauro Olivieri, dyrektor Mennicy Watykańskiej, najważniejsze rocznice są upamiętniane właśnie przez monety o nominale 2 euro. Moneta z okazji urodzin św. Jana Pawła II została wybita w ilości 70 tys. sztuk. Może być używana wszędzie, w przeciwieństwie do monet ze srebra czy złota, które są uznawane jedynie w Watykanie. Moneta już została wprowadzona do obiegu. Urząd watykański powierzył wykonanie projektu monety artystce rzeźbiarce Gabrelli Tito o. Przedstawia ona Jana Pawła II na tle fasady bazyliki w Wadowicach oraz domu rodzinnego. Jest także ośmioramienna gwiazda, która przedstawia Najświętszą Maryję Pannę. Pod wizerunkiem papieża znajdują się także gałązki laurowe, symbolizujące chwałę świętych. Państwo Watykan posiada swoje euro. Co roku wybija monety o różnych nominałach: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 centów oraz 1 i 2 euro.

Wybijane zostają również monety ze srebra i ze złota o wartości: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 i 200 euro. Każdego roku emitowane są

również monety specjalne dla upamiętnienia szczególnych wydarzeń (np. zgromadzenie Synodu Biskupów) i monety

rocznicowe przypominające o życiu papieży i świętych.

ON PANDEMIC WEARINESS, AND THE YOKE THAT FITS Copyright 2020 by John B. Reynolds (jrwrites9@gmail.com)

Are you red? I’m red. I shouldn’t be. I’m re red, a er all, and that takes a lot of the day-to-day stress off a person. I can’t imagine how red the front-liners must be. I’m red of the police brutality that keeps showing up on the television news shows. I’m red of the climbing COVID-19 cases in nearly half of the states. On a more local--and selfish--front, I’m red of people going the wrong way with their shopping carts at the grocery store. And even though Illinois is now opening up more, I’m red of feeling uneasy about going out into the world. Now, I’m not nearly as bad as the English poet A.C. Swinburne, who opined well over a hundred years ago: “I am red of tears and laughter/ And men that laugh and weep/ Of what may come herea er/ For men that sow and reap/ I am weary of days and hours/ Blown buds of barren flowers/ Desires and dreams and powers/ And everything but sleep.” S ll, I’m red. But I’ve seen some medical types on TV saying that it’s not just me. Seems redness/weariness/fa gue--whatever you want to call it--is in (or, as we used to say casually about a head cold or a cough, “There’s a lot of that going around”). Look at some of the headlines I found just now when searching “being red because of the pandemic.” From today.com: “Why am I so red? How to deal with exhaus on during pandemic.” From washingtonpost.com: “Why does quaran ne make us so red?” From healthline.com: Quaran ne fa gue is real. Here’s how to cope.” I didn’t read them all, but focusing on ge ng enough

sleep, here’s the gist of the Today piece: create a regular schedule, disengage from screens and other distrac ons before bed me, don’t forget to exercise, cut back on caffeine. Oh. And I especially like this one: “…avoid working from bed if you can.”

Any discussion of redness/weariness/fa gue brings to mind my favorite observa on on the topic. Singer songwriter Steve Goodman le us too soon, but before the leukemia got him, he gave us, “Weary, though weary is only a case/ Of being unwound at the wrong me and place.” Brilliant, and I think it comes into play with today’s Gospel passage. In the last three verses, which are specific to Ma hew, Jesus gives an apparent nod to Zechariah’s Old Testament prophecy of a peaceful savior heading Jerusalem’s way when he says, “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” Doesn’t that sound good right now. Doesn’t that sound great right now? I don’t think Jesus is promising us a rose garden, though. I read somewhere once that the yoke Jesus speaks of won’t take away the challenges we all face, but that it will offer us peace in dealing with them. Or maybe just a li le guidance in unwinding at the right me and place. Like bed, maybe. Sans work, of course.
