DID YOU KNOW? Mental illnesses, including addictions, are medical conditions? Research has shown that mental illness has a biological basis. Mental illnesses and addictions are brain disorders associated with changes in the brain s structure, chemistry and function, which in turn affects how a person thinks, feels and acts. One in every four adults is affected by mental illness? The National Institute of Mental Health reports that one in four adults in the U.S. experience some kind of mental health disorder in a given year. Approximately 13.6 million people, live with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, major depression or bipolar disorder. Stigma prevents many people from seeking treatment. Approximately 60 percent of adults and almost one-half of youth ages 8 to 15 with a mental illness received no mental health services in the previous year. Treatment works and recovery is possible. With effective treatment (which may include medication, therapy, other services and support) most people experience relief from their symptoms and live productive, fulfilling lives.

4 Page Four St. William JOIN THE KNIGHTS OF CHRIST CATHOLIC MOTORCYCLE CLUB FALL RIDE TO HOLY HILL IN ERIN, WISCONSIN Why is our parish named after St. William? The booklet written for the dedication of the church in 1960 states that Since there was no church named for St. William in the Archdiocese, then St. William would have plenty of time in heaven to devote to this new church. Another idea is that the founding families had many men named William. Choose the reason that you like! Have you noticed the logo for our 100th anniversary and wonder the inspiration was behind it? The cross is not just the cross of Jesus, but it is the shape of our church from up high in the sky. It is also a reminder of our church spire. The Star of Bethlehem behind the cross is the same one that is on the mosaic behind the altar. Are you starting to get hungry? Don t forget our International Octoberfest on Sunday, October 11th. The food will be delicious. The entertainment will be fun. The company of your fellow parishioners will be the best. Come on out and party with us at this first event of our 100th year.

7 CZY POKUSA JEST GRZECHEM? Grzech jest świadomym i dobrowolnym wyborem czegoś sprzecznego z wolą Bożą, Jego przykazaniami, głosem sumienia. Grzech polega na wyborze zła, na świadomym przyjęciu postawy sprzecznej z miłością. Pokusa to czynnik, który pobudza do popełnienia grzechu. Istnieje wiele źródeł pokus: szatan, wady i nałogi tkwiące w człowieku, ludzie skłaniający do złych czynów. Pokusa, wkrada się w nasze myśli jak wąż. Mówiąc o pokusie, trzeba mieć świadomość, że każda z nich składa się z trzech etapów: 1) Podszeptywanie - obrazy płynące ze zmysłów zewnętrznych i wewnętrznych, które są niezależne od woli, za które nie ponosimy odpowiedzialności moralnej. 2) Upodobanie - popędy niższe odczuwają upodobanie, wyższe części duszy mówią jednak ciągle "nie". Stan ten wymaga szybkiego odrzucenia pokusy, bo bardzo szybko i niespodziewanie może przerodzić się w przyzwolenie. 3) Zgoda - przyzwolenie następuje najpierw w myślach, a w konsekwencji przeradza się w czyn. Wielu świętych, a nawet sam nasz Pan Jezus Chrystus, doznawało licznych pokus. Musimy wiedzieć, że doskonałość nie polega na niedoznawaniu pokus, lecz na silnej miłości, zdolnej oprzeć się wszelkim atakom zła. Stąd, pokusa nie jest grzechem, a jeśli bywa zwalczana, staje się okazją do wzrostu miłości, czyli świętości. Opieranie się pokusom wyrabia cierpliwość, wytrwałość i wierność. Odrzucanie pokus mocą łaski Bożej, przyczynia się do zdobywania zasług. Najskuteczniejszą bronią przeciwko pokusie jest modlitwa, szczególnie różańcowa, ofiarowanie swojego życia Najświętszemu Sercu Jezusa i Niepokalanemu Sercu Maryi. Nie należy też szukać okazji do grzechu, kto bowiem naraża się na niebezpieczeństwo, ten łatwo może w nim zginąć (Syr 3,26). Reakcja na pokusę powinna być zdecydowana i konkretna. Warto od razu zwrócić się do Boga o pomoc i od razu kierować swoje myśli na to, "co jest prawdziwe, co godne, co sprawiedliwe, co czyste, co miłe, co zasługuje na uznanie: jeśli jest jakąś cnotą i czynem chwalebnym - to miejcie na myśli!" (Flp 4,8).
