We Share in The Mission of Christ
I would like to begin this week’s article by congratulating our First Communicants. On Saturday, May
5, 2018 our students received Jesus in the Eucharist for the first time. They have begun a lifelong relationship with Our Lord, and I pray that they receive the Blessed Sacrament every week. Let us all pray that the parents of our First Communicants remain faithful to their mission to be teachers of the faith.
Next week is Mother’s Day, and we will have an article from Cardinal Cupich in place of my article. Next week also happens to be Ascension Sunday. This is an important feast day. Before Jesus was taken up into heaven, he left his disciples a final commandment. “All power in heaven and earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Matthew 28: 18-20)
That is the mission handed down to the disciples. As Christians, we, too, share in the mission. Each of us must figure out for ourselves what God is calling us to do. The Spirit provides the strength and inspiration, but we do the physical, hands-on ministry. The Holy Spirit uses our hands, feet, and voices to accomplish the mission.
Our First Communicants are on a mission to be faithful followers of Christ. They are very young and need help to become members of the Body of Christ. Let us pray for each other, and especially for our First Communicants as they begin a deeper relationship with Jesus. Yours in Christ,

Sharing Parish $ 25 LOVE ONE ANOTHER In the Gospel for the Sixth Sunday of Easter we are met with an extraordinary challenge: Jesus commands us to "love one another as I love you" (John 15:12). The letter from John echoes this command. Of course, we are to love those in our family, those we work with, those we like. But the scriptures make clear that we are also to love those we never notice, those we purposely avoid, and even those we are tempted to despise. In this Sunday's selection from the Acts of the Apostles Peter shows us how far God's love extends, and how far our love should extend in response. Peter realizes that God no longer "shows partiality" to the Jews, sharing divine love exclusively with them. Christ has revealed that God's love extends to all people, and so should ours.

ADORATION of the
BLESSED SACRAMENT Mondays in church
12:00 NOON - 8:00 pm with Benediction at 7:45 pm
“It is from the Eucharist that all of us receive
the grace and strength for daily living, to live real Christian lives,
in the joy of knowing that God loves us,
that Christ died for us, and that the Holy Spirit lives in us.”
Pope John Paul II 1979 - Spoken in Ireland during his first visit there.
PLEASE COME — VISIT JESUS
PEOPLE OF THE CROSS UNITED
We are all members of the Body of Christ. If one member suffers, all members suffer.
(1 COR: 12:26) Please pray for our brothers and sisters who suffer persecution in many countries throughout the world because of their Christian faith.
Prayer with Scripture
We invite you to an encounter of prayer where you can stop from the hurry of the moment and listen to God through God’s Word, in silence, meditation, ad-oration and contemplation. In this short but intense time, we listen to a talk that introduces us into the understanding of the Word of God, which later, we reflect on and meditate in an attitude of faith, discov-ering what God is trying to reveal to us. The prayer is accompanied by the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament with songs to help the faithful enter more into prayer.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In ancient Rome, the beautiful month of May was dedicated to the goddess Flora, the patroness of flowers and new life. May 1 was considered the beginning of abundant growth, and a day for public festivals aimed at expelling winter. Even after Christianity took hold, the customs of the pagan feast lingered behind. Long ago, there was a thirty-day devotion to Mary, sometimes called "Lady Month," which began on August 15. By the eighteenth century, the custom of assigning devotions to months of the year was developing. June, for example, was the month of the Sacred Heart, and October was for the Holy Rosary. Beginning with the Jesuit Order in Rome and spreading throughout the world, May has been celebrated as the month of Mary, the Blessed Mother, for more than two hundred years. That was a welcome remedy to some enduring pagan practices, such as maypole dancing and the crowning of the May Queen. Some historians say that in ancient times the May Queen was actually a human sacrifice. Devoting May to Mary is undoubtedly a better thing to do. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Ministers of Care bring the Eucharist to those who are sick, homebound, or elderly. If you would like to arrange a visit, please contact the rectory by calling: 773-775-6659.
Being His friend Sometimes we run into scripture that confuses us. Take for instance Jesus’ words: You are my friends if you do what I command you. Wait! Doesn’t scripture teach us that Christ loves us even when we fail to obey Him? Certainly, but this seemingly harsh scripture points us to outsider’s views of Christians. As we have often heard: they will know we are Christians by our love. We will be seen as “friends” of Christ by the world when we are obedi-ent, good servants to Him. Standing up for justice, caring for the homeless, supporting Christian minis-tries, providing learning and recreational places for the poor, comforting the sick, and making certain that children are treated with love, respect, and dig-nity … all these actions prove that we are Christ's friends because we have done what Christ has asked of us. What proof of your friendship have you offered the world this week?

ANOINTING OF THE SICK On Saturday, May 19th, we will celebrate the communal Anointing of the Sick at a special Mass beginning at 1:00 pm. This anointing takes place during the Mass to emphasize the fact that it is the whole CHURCH that is praying for her members who are sick. It is the whole CHURCH that asks the Father to send His Spirit to strengthen and encourage those who are suffering from sickness of any kind. The actual anointing will take place after the homily of the Mass, when the priests will go to each person to be anointed, first laying their hands on the person’s head (asking the Holy Spirit to come down upon those who are sick, and to strengthen them); and then anointing them on the forehead and on the hands, saying “Through this holy anointing, may the Lord in His love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit.” Response: Amen. “May the Lord who frees you from sin, save you and raise you up.” Response: Amen.
WHO CAN BE ANOINTED? 1. Those who are now seriously ill. 2. Those who are temporarily ill or convalescing. 3. Those who are chronically ill (heart condition, asthma, arthritis, etc.) 4. Those who are emotionally and mentally ill. 5. Those who are 65 years and over. 6. Those who are preparing for surgery in the near future. 7. Sick children who have reached the age of reason.
Refreshments will be served after Mass.
Donations of homemade or store-bought baked goods would be greatly appreciated. Please bring your donations to the church vestibule before Mass.
Thanking you in advance!

FRIENDLY VISTORS NEEDED Be a friend to a lonely senior.
The Seniors Assistance Center is looking for outgoing, caring and compassionate volunteers to visit with a senior citizen in the communities of Norridge, Harwood Heights and unincorporated Norwood Park Township. This service provides companionship to the older adults in our community who are lonely, isolated, homebound, or in need of assistance to leave their homes. One of the most important aspects of the program is the real friendship that can develop between a senior and a friendly visitor. Some simple and fun things to do when visiting with your senior - having coffee/tea and conversation; reading aloud; playing a favorite game; sharing memories; doing crafts together; planning occasional outings such as short walks or shopping when possible. For further information about how you can become a friend to a senior, call Anne or Carole at: 708/456-7979.
