Page Two April 24, 2011 Dear Parishioners: ALLELUJA! CHRIST IS RISEN! EASTER is God s Day! EASTER marks the resurrection of Christ from the grave. EASTER proves that love can never be permanently crucified but ultimately triumphs over hate. Let us rejoice for the Risen Lord is with us. We are not alone. Though suffering comes into our lives at different times, we are not defeated by it. For nothing can separate us from our VICTORIOUS LORD! May the PEACE of Christ s Resurrection be with you! We will remember each of you in our Masses on Easter Sunday. Rev. Idzi Stacherczak, Pastor Rev. Stan Tabor, Associate Pastor Rev. Daniel Kusa, Associate Pastor Drodzy Parafianie, ALELUJA! CHRYSTUS ZMARTWYCHWSTAŁ PRAWDZIWIE! WIELKANOC jest Świętem samego Boga. WIELKANOC oznacza Zmartwychwstanie Chrystusa z grobu. WIELKANOC dowodzi, że miłość nigdy nie może być na zawsze ukrzyżowana, albowiem w końcu tryumfuje ona nad nienawiścią. Radujmy się, ponieważ Pan Jezus Zmartwychwstały jest razem z nami. Nie jesteśmy osamotnieni. Pomimo, że cierpienie nawiedza nas w różnych momentach naszego życia, nie jesteśmy przez nie pokonani. Nic nas nie może odłączyć od naszego CHRYSTUSA ZWYCIĘZCY. Aby POKÓJ Chrystusa Zmartwychwstałego pozostał zawsze z Wami! W naszych Mszach św. Wielkanocnych wspomnimy każdego z Was. Ks. Idzi Stacherczak, Proboszcz Ks. Stanisław Tabor, Wikariusz Ks.

Page Six April 24, 2011 He is Risen! The news of the day and the news of the centuries! We sing Christ Jesus Victor, Christ Jesus Ruler, Christ Jesus Lord and Redeemer. Here lies the message for each person and all people, for all humanity. Today, we are asked to renounce evil and to claim the Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - the connection in living humanely. Fr. Louis Cameli has written about 21st century ways to connect : We live in a world that prides itself on the many possibilities of connection that are available. With computers and e-mail and i-pods and cell phones, we have various forms of electronic connection. With a worldwide network of air travel, we can go around the world and connect with countless destinations. With the globalization of the economy, we are tightly connecetd as producers and consumers. On a more personal level, an unprecented level of sexual freedom allows for multiple easy connections for those who so choose. Still, despite all these new connections and possibilities of connection, we are paradoxically more isolated than ever in humanity s history. Electronic media connects us but also leaves us alone behind a screen or with a cell phone in hand. Air travel enables us to go around the world and connect with destinations, but we do so always in the shadow of the threat of terrorism that can destroy us. A global market connects us, but a profit-driven economy still divides the rich from the poor. Abundant sexual liberties allow us to hook up indiscriminately, but we find genuine, sustaining intimacy more daunting than ever. For most of us, the strongest sense of connection resides in our home. To be at home, really and truly, is to be connected - spouses with each other, parents with children; with our history and our future, and with our local community. Home is connection. The Catholics Come Home evangelization initiative invites, welcome, and accompanies people to connect to the very sourve of life itself, the Risen Christ. This longing-forconnection manifests God s life in us. We remain free and can accept or reject Him. When we accept this ultimate connection, the living-giving Reality, the proximate connections fall into place. And we have life in its abundance! Rejoice in this life within you - Accept that He is Risen for you! Pray: Christ, be our light! -Rev. Msgr. Rich Hynes Msgr. Rich Hynes, a priest for 39 years, serves the Archdiocese of Chicago as Director of the Department of Parish Life & Formation. His previous Archdiocesan assignments include Pastor - St. John of the Cross (Western Springs), Associate Pastor - St. Martin de Porres (Chicago), St. Athanasius (Evanston), St. James (Arlington Heights), and Spiritual Director at the St. Joseph College Seminary at Loyola University.
