The Living Stations represents an annual highlight of the school year for our 7th grade, as all aspects of the performance are handled by 7th grade students, parents and faculty. Each and every 7th grade student is involved, either as an actor, stage manager or gospel reader. Patents outfit their budding child actors in costumes from the Biblical era, and the performance is directed by 7th grade teachers Mrs. Susan Betzolt and Mr. Joseph Hull. In all, I find it to be a very meaningful and moving experience, said Betzolt, 7th Grade social studies teacher. It s truly humbling to see how the kids come together to make this event a success, added Hull, 7th and 8th grade math teacher. I look at it as a labor of love. All are welcome to attend.

13 April 2, 2006 Fifth Sunday of Lent Page Thirteen Watching our sons compete at a grade school track meet three years ago, I said to a fellow dad, Ah, to be young and fast again. He replied, At least to be young again But I really was fast. I ve lost a few steps, true, but in my running prime, I hit the finish line of the 1981 Chicago Marathon in two hours and forty-six minutes: fast enough for Boston; fast enough to put me in the top hundred and ten runners out of the 5000 or so that started. I used to have some glorious training runs in a local forest preserve back then, and during one such effort, I flew past two small boys on their bikes, prompting one to call out to me, Hey, are you an Olympic runner? No, but I ve always cherished the idea. Bearded and with longer (and darker) hair in my youth, I was told more than once that I looked like the singer Kenny Loggins. I don t know about that. But I do know that in the early 1990s, I looked like someone else altogether to one kid in particular. My son was participating in a program at a local Chicago public grade school at the time, and I went there one day to pick him up. Paul s program was on the second floor, so I was bounding up the stairs when a grade-schooler came bounding down the stairs right along aside me. I barely noticed him until he stopped next to me and asked (awe-fully, it seemed), Are you Chuck Norris? No, but I wish I had his money.

Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com) One of my parishes is our Lady of Knock in Calumet City, and they ve even asked me down a couple of times recently to speak to their various parish groups. Giving myself plenty of time to get there from my home on the northwest side, I arrived early enough on both occasions to grab a bite to eat at a nearby McDonald s while going over my presentation notes. This last time a kid came up to me and said, Excuse me, but are you a teacher? I told him that I was speaking at OLK. Oh, he said, you just look like a teacher. I told him that I was honored by the comparison. Welcome to the Fifth Sunday of Lent. So how goes the journey? Mine s been shaky this year, but as I explained to the good folks at OLK, small victories are still victories. I did a lot of Lenten reflection while putting my talks together; I m still clinging to my no-coffee resolve (even though I ve given in to a couple of cups of hot chocolate); and I ve caught a few weekday masses. I m not an Olympic runner. I m not Chuck Norris. Nor am I a teacher, at least not in the way I believe that kid at McDonald s meant. But most of us can recognize good teachers when we hear them speak, and the greatest Teacher of all speaks to us in today s Gospel: Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. Next week, on Palm Sunday, the high priest asks Jesus, Are you the Christ, the son of the Blessed One? To Jerusalem, then, to be with the Teacher when he responds, I am...
