1 Of ice hours: Monday through Friday 9:00 AM 11:00 AM 5:00 PM 7:00 PM The Voice from Saint Camillus January 14, 2018 Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Parish Bulletin Administrator Rev. Waclaw Lech, OCD Resident Rev. Jacek Chodzynski, OCD Parish Staff Business Manager Connie McLaughlin Music Director (Eng.) Mr. Richard Sokas Music Director (Pol.) Mr. Henryk Zygmunt Parish Secretaries Mrs. Renata Stoch Miss Emilia Nienajadlo Treasures From Our Tradition Ordinary Time began for us this week. On the old calendar, the feast of the Presentation, still more than two weeks away, was the last day of the Christmas season. Sadly, Bethlehem is hardly a place of peace on earth these days. The ancient Christian community has been largely uprooted by political strife. The Church of the Nativity stands (barely) in remarkable disrepair and disorder in Manger Square. The roof is crumbling, the major doorways are blocked, the wiring is faulty, and the worship life is disrupted by quarrels among Eastern Christians. The church was founded by the Emperor Constantine in 325, destroyed in a Samaritan revolt in 539, and rebuilt by the Emperor Justinian. When the area came under Muslim control in 638, the holiness of the church was respected, and in return Christians allowed Muslims to pray in the south aisle, a right still upheld. Earlier in that century, invading Persians were ordered to destroy all churches, but when they saw the magi carved over the doorway of the Church of the Nativity, they spared it out of respect for their ancestors who bore gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the same city. The Crusaders restored and redecorated the church by the twelfth century, and it is their plan that survives. Down a few stone steps is a stone grotto with a silver star marking the place of Christ s birth: when the star was stolen in 1847 it triggered an international crisis that exploded into the Crimean War. Since 1852, the church has been shared by the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Armenian Churches. The Greeks are in charge of the grotto, but don t enjoy the best of friendships with the Armenians. Catholics have the care of the Chapel of the Manger, and avoid the squabbles by a separate entrance to the Franciscan monastery church of St. Catherine. Pray for peace in Bethlehem! Rev.

We hear this phrase every Sunday at Mass, but there s a good chance that many Roman Catholics do not know who in the Bible originally spoke it. The phrase appears only in the Gospel of John, on the lips of John the Baptist, who utters it twice. In today s Gospel reading, John proclaims Jesus as the Lamb of God, and two of John s own disciples then follow Christ. A little bit later Andrew, who heard John and then followed Jesus, brings his brother Simon to be re-named Cephas, or Peter. A careful look at these Bible verses shows us the mission of everyone baptized into the Body of Christ: we must always proclaim our faith in Christ, so that others will follow him. We may not know how the will of God might work through those we bring to Christ; that is not the point. The point is that our ongoing mission as a church is to bring others to Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

3 Prayer for a Priest O Jesus, our great High Priest, Hear our humble prayers on behalf of your priest, Father Waclaw Lech. Give him a deep faith, a bright and irm hope and a burning love which will ever increase in the course of his priestly life. In his loneliness, comfort him. In his sorrows, strengthen him. In his frustrations, point out to him that it is through suffering that the soul is puri ied, and show him that he is needed by the Church, he is needed by souls, he is needed for the work of redemption. O loving Mother Mary, Mother of Priests, take to your heart your son who is close to you because of his priestly ordination, and because of the power which he has received to carry on the work of Christ in a world which needs him so much. Be his comfort, be his joy, be his strength Amen. Fr. Lech, Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Page Three Wishing you a birthday filled with God s blessings, Thanking God for the gift of your faith-filled life, and Praying that the Holy Spirit will strengthen you as you serve the Church. Have a Blessed Birthday! New Catholic School Scholarship Opportunity for 2018/19 School Year Through the Invest in Kids Act, the state of Illinois has created a new way to fund scholarships for children from low-income households who want to attend private schools. This program provides an opportunity for more students to receive a quality Catholic education. The tax credit scholarships offered through this program could cover up to 100 percent of tuition and fees for eligible, low-income students. Not all families will be eligible for the new scholarships, but we want to make sure all families are aware of the program. Program details are still being inalized, but you can ind information on the scholarships, the application process and the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the Archdiocese of Chicago s website, archchicago.org/tcs. If you have any questions about tax credit scholarships, please contact the Archdiocese at InvestInKids@archchicago.org or Valentine s Dinner Dance Party Zabawa Walentynkowa Sponsored by St. Camillus Ushers Organizowana przez Marszałków Para ii św.
