4 July 6, 2014 Fourteen Ordinary Sunday Page Four Sacraments Helping us meet Jesus Sacraments are central for Catholics. They help us meet the incarnate Jesus, who comes to us through cleansing water and invigorating oil to welcome us, life giving bread and wine that become Christ's Body and Blood, a hand outstretched in forgiveness, vows lovingly exchanged in marriage, a hand designating someone for ordained service and oil to strengthen the sick and comfort the dying. The Latin word sacramentum means "a sign of the sacred." The seven sacraments are ceremonies that point to what is sacred, significant and important for Christians. They are special occasions for experiencing God's saving presence. That is what theologians mean when they say that sacraments are at the same time signs and instruments of God's grace. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "Celebrated worthily in faith, the sacraments confer the grace that they signify. They are efficacious because in them Christ himself is at work; it is he who baptises, he who acts in his sacraments in order to communicate the grace that each sacrament signifies". A visible sign An action is performed by a minister (usually a priest). For example, when a baby is baptized in the church the priest pours water over its head and at the same time says the words "I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." That is a visible sign. Instituted by Christ The Lord Jesus Christ instructed His church to offer the seven sacraments to His followers. For example, His directive to His disciples in Matthew's Gospel (28/19), "Go then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples; baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you." To give grace Grace is God's free gift of Himself as the controlling influence in our life and the decisions we make once we have committed ourselves to Him in faith. In summary, a sacrament is one of the means God has chosen to influence our life in the direction of his purpose for giving us life. The seven sacraments are Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony

7 July 6, 2014 Fourteen Ordinary Sunday Page Seven NIGHTFEVER JULY 19, 2014 ST. ALPHONSUS St. Alphonsus Parish, located at 1429 W. Wellington in Chicago, will be hosting the next Nightfever, starting with Mass at 7:30 pm and continuing through the night. Last year Nightfever was brought to Chicago for the first time. Holy Name Cathedral was opened from 9pm to midnight. With the Eucharist exposed on the altar, priests available to talk or hear confessions, and quiet music playing, young adults stood on the streets around the Cathedral and invited people inside to simply light a candle before going on their way for the evening. Everyone is welcome to stay for as long or as short as they like, and to come and go as they please. Over 400 people came into the Cathedral to pray. Some lit a candle and left, others stayed for over an hour. Some received the sacrament of reconciliation for the first time in decades! Hearts were touched, healed, and transformed. The idea behind Nightfever is simple: Open the church, invite people in, and let Christ work. And the effect is remarkable. Nightfever is an outstanding experience of Christ s love for all involved.

8 July 6, 2014 Fourteen Ordinary Sunday Page Eight FOOD FOR THE POOR Next weekend a reporesentative from the Food For the Poor will visit our parish to speak about the good works of the organization. Following is some information about their mission. Direct relief assistance helping the poor in the Caribbean and Latin America Food For he Poor is the largest international relief and development organization in the United States, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy. Founded in 1982, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poorest of the poor in 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, our programs provide housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief and micro enterprise assistance in addition to feeding hundreds of thousands of people each day. Since its inception in 1982, Food For The Poor has provided in excess of $11 billion in aid (more than half of which was provided in the last five years) and has built more than 91,000 housing units for the destitute. In 2013, Food For The Poor constructed 6,808 housing units for families in need of adequate shelter. Total fundraising and administrative costs in 2013 comprised less than 5% of our expenses. More than 95% of all donations go directly to programs that help the poor. In a 2013 survey of the 50 largest U.S. charities, Forbes magazine rated Food For The Poor the seventh largest recipient of private support. With a charitable commitment ratio of 96%, and a fundraising efficiency of 97%, Food For The Poor received the highest possible ratings from industry observers such as Ministry Watch, and is also proud to meet the extensive standards of America s most experienced charity evaluator, the Better Business Bureau. Our hope is that this ministry reflects God s unconditional love, which surrenders all, inspires trust and faith, and embraces all people regardless of race, status or creed. We believe that Christ is alive, and that we can best serve Him by being of assistance to those in the greatest need (Matthew 25:31 40). Finally, we stress the need for regular prayer to guide and maintain the purity of our mission, to link the church of the First World with the church of the Third World in a manner that helps both the materially poor and the poor in spirit.

9 Page Nine Fourteen Ordinary Sunday July 6, 2014 ROK SAKRAMENTÓW ŚWIĘTYCH Od lipca rozpoczęliśmy w Archidiecezji Chicago celebrację Roku Sakramentów Świętych, który będzie trwał do czerwca Kościół musi łączyć swoją osobistą misję z sytuacją w jakiej żyją ludzie w danym okresie. Dlatego właśnie Archidiecezja Chicago opracowała Strategiczny Plan Pastoralny, który został wdrążony w życiue już w 2011 roku. Celem Strategicznego Planu Pastoralnego jest głębsze zaangażowanie ochrzczonych katolików w Kościele katolickim w trakcie całego ich życia. Definicja sakramentu Celem sakramentów jest uświęcenie człowieka, budowanie mistycznego Ciała Chrystusa, a wreszcie oddawanie czci Bogu. Jako znaki, mają one także pouczać. Sakramenty wiarę nie tylko zakładają, lecz za pomocą słów i rzeczy dają jej wzrost, umacniają ją i wyrażają. Słusznie więc nazywają się sakramentami wiary. Udzielają one łaski, ale ich sprawowanie również jak najlepiej usposabia wiernych do owocnego przyjęcia tej łaski, do oddania Bogu należnej czci i pełnienia miłości. Stąd ważną jest rzeczą, aby wierni łatwo mogli rozumieć znaki sakramentalne i gorliwie przyjmowali te sakramenty, które są ustawione dla podtrzymywania życia chrześcijańskiego" (KL 59). Wyraz sakrament pochodzi od łacińskiego słowa sacramentum. Wzięty z terminologii prawa rzymskiego. Oznaczał pewną sumę pieniężną, złożoną w miejscu świętym przez wiodących ze sobą spór w sądzie. Kto przegrał, ten oddawał pieniądze na cele świątyni. Tym terminem określano również przysięgę żołnierską na sztandar wojskowy. Przy tej okazji odbywał się obrzęd na cześć bóstw podziemnych. Ponadto sacramentum nazywano poświęcenie się sprawom wojskowym. W liturgii sakramentów odróżniamy elementy istotne, ustanowione przez Chrystusa, które są niezmienne i elementy dodane przez Kościół, podlegające zmianom. O zmianach decyduje zawsze władza kompetentna. Celem obrzędów dodatkowych jest ożywienie wiary u wiernych, pouczenie ich i zbudowanie. Sakramenty święte są to widzialne znaki łaski udzielanej człowiekowi przez Boga. Przez nie Bóg udziela pomocy, aby człowiek miał siłę do kroczenia przez bożą ziemię do bożego nieba. Każdy z sakramentów udziela konkretnych łask, potrzebnych w danej sytuacji życiowej człowieka. Owoce sakramentów zależą od współpracy człowieka z Bogiem nie działają magicznie. Bez współpracy będą tylko martwym obrzędem, a one mają udzielać życia. Zależą od naszej wiary, przygotowania, przyjęcia i współpracy z łaską.

13 July 6, 2014 Fourteen Ordinary Sunday Page Thirteen While there were undoubtedly others, I remember one specific day when I was a kid that my mother told me she was tired. Mom was ironing clothes down in the basement and I was stretched out on the couch watching the small TV my folks had put down there for my brother, sister, and me. I wasn t really paying attention to her, and I cannot recall if we were chatting about anything or nothing at all, but when she said she was tired, I could tell right away that it wasn t the normal kind of tired she probably often felt. By the tone of her voice and by the carriage of her body, I could tell that this was something more. I m sure I didn t have the words extreme exhaustion in my head at the time, but in retrospect, I m pretty sure she was on the verge. And her expression of tiredness hinted also of a certain sadness, and the sadness in retrospect may have been her thought in that moment that she d probably be tired to one degree or another for the rest of her life. Now this was thirty plus years before Mon would come to draw her final breath on the phone with my Aunt Marge one minute, dead on the floor the next but in addition to saying she was tired, she also spoke to me that day about death. Weird, I remember thinking, and a little scary, but calming just the same. Anyway, she said she could see the appeal of death in that she would then be totally at peace. I do not recall her speaking of heaven. I do not recall her speaking of eternity with the angels and saints. Nor do I recall her speaking of Resurrection, even Support Staff Mrs. Sophie Mazurek, Parish Secretary Sr. Bernadetta Gościniak, Administrative Assistant Ms. Elizabeth Ceisel-Mikowska, Bulletin Editor Mr. Kamil Duda, Website Designer/Editor Liturgical Bro.

Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com) though I know she believed in all of these things. I recall her speaking only of how peaceful it would be when this life is through. No more bills to worry about, I guess. No more groceries to shop and put away. No more breakfasts, lunches, dinners to prepare. In my memory, she didn t say these things either, but as I look back to that day, I think these things were on her mind. A rosary praying, church going, God fearing woman, perhaps Mom took comfort even then in the Gospel passage we read today: Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Perhaps she dealt with her numerous quotidian tasks because she kept Christ s message close to her heart: Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and you will find rest for yourselves. Perhaps this message kept her going right up to that phone call with Aunt Marge: For my yoke is easy, and my burden light. Some people interpret this passage as Jesus speaking to those troubled by the confining rules and regulations of rabbinic Judaism. These people are probably right, because Jesus to the displeasure of the religious elite of his day was quick to dismiss the letter of the law for the spirit of the law. But in a larger context, Christ s words reach out to all of us who at times just like Mom in the basement tire of the day to day chores of life. Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. I m sure the words spoke to my mother. May they speak to us as well.
