4 March 27, 2016 Easter Sunday Page Four Plenary Indulgence for the Observance of the Jubilee of Mercy Holy Year December 8, 2015 November 20, 2016 Pope Francis has granted special Indulgences to the faithful who observe and take part in the celebra on of the Jubilee of Mercy. In this year, the Pope has noted, we need constantly to contemplate the mystery of mercy. It is a wellspring of joy, serenity, and peace. By par cipa ng in any of the various observances of this Year, and while fulfilling the usual condi ons (see below), one may gain this special Indulgence. What must one do in order to receive the special Plenary Indulgence? In order to gain this special Indulgence, a Catholic is required first to make sacramental Confession, receive the Eucharist at Mass, make a profession of faith and offer prayers for the Supreme Pon ff's inten ons. In addi on to and in conjunc on with fulfilling these condi ons, one may then take part in any of the following observances of the Jubilee of Mercy. Make a pilgrimage to Holy Name Cathedral, or any one of the designated Jubilee Parishes (e.g. St Ferdinand), and there walk through the designated Holy Door, and make a brief visit. More parishes designated in the Archdiocese of Chicago can be found on the Archdiocesan Jubilee of Mercy website ( and on the website of the Office for Divine Worship ( Those for whom, for various reasons, it will be impossible to enter the Holy Door, par cularly the sick and people who are elderly and alone, e.g., confined to the home, the Holy Father noted, For them it will be of great help to live their sickness and suffering as an experience of closeness to the Lord who in the mystery of his Passion, death and Resurrec on indicates the royal road which gives meaning to pain and loneliness. Living with faith and joyful hope this moment of trial, receiving communion or a ending Holy Mass and community prayer, even through the various means of communica on, will be for them the means of obtaining the Jubilee Indulgence. For those who are incarcerated, whose freedom is limited, the Jubilee Year has always cons tuted an opportunity for great amnesty. They may obtain the Indulgence in the chapels of the prisons. May the gesture of direc ng their thought and prayer to the Father each me they cross the threshold of their cell signify for them their passage through the Holy Door, because the mercy of God is able to transform hearts, and is also able to transform bars into an experience of freedom. The Pope has asked the Church in this Jubilee Year to rediscover the richness encompassed by the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. The experience of mercy, indeed, becomes visible in the witness of concrete signs as Jesus himself taught us. Each me that one of the faithful personally performs one or more of these ac ons, he or she shall surely obtain the Jubilee Indulgence. Furthermore, the Jubilee Indulgence can also be obtained for the deceased. We are bound to them by the witness of faith and charity that they have le us. Thus, as we remember them in the Eucharis c celebra on, thus we can, in the great mystery of the Communion of Saints, pray for them, that the merciful Face of the Father free them of every remnant of fault and strongly embrace them in the unending bea tude.

5 Page Five Easter Sunday March 27, 2016 Dear Parishioners, Benefactors, Guests and Friends of St. Ferdinand Parish, Once again we celebrate Easter, which is a great source of spiritual renewal for each of us. The liturgy of Easter Sunday leads us to an empty tomb to personally meet the Resurrected Christ and there proclaim our faith by repeating the words of St. Paul to the Thessalonians For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so too will God through Jesus, bring with Him those who have fallen asleep. (1Tes 4, 14) Dear friends, may the Year of Mercy that the Church is now celebrating renew and deepen our faith in the merciful love which Christ has earned for us through his suffering, death and resurrection. May it guide us in the transformation of our lives and help us to reject fear and anxiety, darkness and despair. May it assist us in becoming the people of the Resurrection that gaze firmly at the Victorious Christ. From this empty tomb flows a true hope to all the faithful that we can overcome evil, wrong doing, despair and sadness and one day be resurrected. Together with our priests and Missionary Sisters ministering in this faith community let our hearts be filled with Easter hope; a hope that flows from the joy of meeting our Resurrected Lord. Let us fill our hearts with hope, because having hope causes us to live differently. Let the Resurrected Christ give us strength and enlighten our hearts and minds the same way as he did to his apostles on their way to Emmaus, so we may become His true witnesses in today s contemporary world; so we may fulfill the Year of Mercy message Be Merciful Like the Father is Merciful. Fr. Jason Torba, Pastor

We find not only the origins of this prac ce da ng to the early Church but we also clearly recognize its importance.

10 Page Ten Easter Sunday March 27, 2016 Drodzy Parafianie i Dobrodzieje parafii Św. Ferdynanda!! Po raz kolejny przeżywamy w naszym życiu Święta Wielkiej Nocy, które stają się okazją i źródłem duchowej odnowy dla każdego z nas. Liturgia Wielkanocy prowadzi nas do pustego grobu, aby osobiście spotkać się ze Zmartwychwstałym Jezusem Chrystusem i tam wyznać wiarę słowami św. Pawła Apostoła: Wierzymy, że Jezus istotnie umarł i zmartwychwstał (1 Tes 4, 14). Drodzy, życzę Wam, aby ten Rok Jubileuszowy Miłosierdzia jaki przeżywamy obecnie w Kościele przyczynił się do ożywienia i pogłębienia wiary w miłość miłosierną, którą Chrystus nam wysłużył poprzez swoją mękę, śmierć i zmartwychwstanie. Niech ta wiara prowadzi do przemiany Waszego życia i pomoże odrzucić lęk i strach, ciemność i rozpacz oraz pomoże stawać się Wam ludźmi, którzy wpatrują się mocno w Chrystusa Miłosiernego, Zwycięzcę śmierci, piekła i szatana. Z pustego grobu płynie także dla nas, ludzi wierzących nadzieja, że i my ze Zmartwychwstałym Chrystusem możemy przezwyciężyć zło, grzech, rozpacz, smutek i to wszystko co na codzień nas tak bardzo przytłacza. Wraz z kapłanami i siostrami posługującymi w naszej wspólnocie życzymy Wam z głębi serca drodzy parafianie oraz goście, którzy przeżywacie te święta w naszej parafii, tej nadziei, która płynie ze spotkania ze Zmartwychwstałym Panem. Napełnijmy nasze serca wielkanocną nadzieją, bo kto ma nadzieję, żyje inaczej. Niech zatem Zmartwychwstały Chrystus dodaje mocy i oświeca Wasze serca i umysły, jak uczniom w drodze do Emaus, abyście byli wiernymi Jego świadkami w dzisiejszym świecie, abyście na codzień wypełniali przesłanie tego Świętego Roku Jubileuszowego: Bądźcie miłosierni, jak Ojciec wasz jest miłosierny (Łk 6, 36). Ks. Zdzisław Torba Proboszcz

15 March 27, 2016 Easter Sunday Page Fi een ON BEING ALIVE RIGHT ABOUT NOW, EDDIE THE EAGLE, AND EASTER Copyright 2015 by John B. Reynolds My wife turned me on to a new pop song a few months ago. Good to be Alive (Hallelujah) by Andy Grammer. Gail said it was an upbeat melody with an upbeat message and she thought I might like it. I usually listen to acous c guitar music on folk or so rock sta ons, but Gail has a good ear for good sound, she knows what I like, and I value her opinion, so right away I tuned in to WTMX on my car radio and listened for the Grammer song. It wasn t long before I heard it, and Gail was right. Upbeat music. Upbeat message. Fun. Here are a few lines of the lyrics: if there's a man upstairs, he kept bringing me rain/ But I've been sending up prayers and something's changed/ I think I finally found my hallelujah/ I've been wai ng for this moment all my life/ Now all my dreams are coming true, ya/ I've been wai ng for this moment/ And it's good to be alive right about now I can t say that the song was in my head when I watched Eddie the Eagle recently, but it entered into the conversa on as my wife and I talked later of the film. In comparing it to the underdog sports movie Rudy, Chicago Tribune cri c Richard Roeper said this about the new release: Eddie the Eagle is a fic onalized, unapologe cally sen mental, undeniably inspira onal story about an undersized, overachieving, irrita ngly upbeat underdog who was doggedly determined to make the Bri sh Olympics as a ski jumper, even though everyone from his own father to his peers to Olympic officials told him he was a dreamer and it was never going to happen. If you re an Olympics fan, the movie and some of the footage will take you immediately back to the 1988 Calgary Support Staff Mrs. Zofia Mazurek, Parish Secretary Sr. Kamila Wojdyla, Administrative Assistant Ms. Elizabeth Ceisel-Mikowska, Bulletin Editor Mr. Kamil Duda, Website Designer/Editor Liturgical Bro.

More than once, the film gave me chills. In a good way. It s not much of a stretch to see the connec on between all of this and Easter Sunday. Michael Edwards took his lumps on the way to his des ny. A er a bad crash landed him in the hospital ba ered but unbroken, Edwards may have been saying in his head--albeit without the upbeat melody--good to be alive right about now! And certainly he had his Hallelujah moment when he landed the 90-meter jump in Calgary. We all know what Jesus endured on the way to his des ny. And when he breathed his last, his friends were devastated, confused, afraid. But when the horror of the cross gave way to life and indescribable joy, Jesus absolutely experienced his own Good to be alive right about now and Hallelujah moments all rolled up into one. And as we witness the empty tomb this day--first with Mary of Magdala and then with Peter and John--we all experience our own a good-to-be-alive and hallelujah moments in turn. Edwards came in last place in both the 70-meter and 90-meter jumps in 1988, but he s ll soared like an eagle, because the jumper who everyone said couldn t do it, did. Hallelujah, indeed. I corresponded with a guy years ago--a writer friend-- and his closing was always the same: Fly with Christ. Be er yet, soar with him. Oh, yeah. Good to be alive right about now. Happy Easter.
