Anonymous LONGING The hand will not reach out for what the heart does not long for. German proverb THE WAY Today we sense the apostles trepidation as they begin to realize that the Lord would soon be leaving them. In their fear, they ask, Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way? (John 14:5). Jesus tells them that he is the way. The Easter season has been a time of growing in Easter faith so that we, too, may learn to know that Jesus is the way. We can take comfort in the Lord s promise that he is going to his Father s house to prepare a place for us, his chosen people who have been called out of darkness into God s wonderful light. As the paschal candle continues to burn during this holy season, let us remember that in baptism we were given the light of Christ. With Christ our light as the beacon lighting our way, let us march toward the glory of Pentecost. Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

From the Pastor s Desk My Dearly Beloved, As we celebrate this Mother s Day we embrace all mothers, living and deceased, with love, kind wishes and words of the following prayer: Holy God, You compared your own love for your people To the love of a mother for her children. Look with kindness on our mother Who has shared in your crating love By the gift of her children. We thank you for the joys and sorrows of her life, The giving and sharing, And, especially for your love That has formed us in your image. Listen to our prayers And bless the mother Who has nurtured and sustained us. Give her patience in abundance And let her find joy and satisfaction in all her work. Glory and praise to you, loving God, Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Who was born of the Virgin Mary, And who reigns with you in the glory of heaven, For ever and ever. Amen. Best wishes, many God s blessings and a spiritual bouquet of flowers for all Mothers - from Fr. Mariusz and the Parish Staff.! Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Spring 2017 This is a special year for the Archdiocese of Chicago as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities centennial year is truly a celebration for all of us because its great tradition of charitable care has included the support of volunteers and donors from every parish in the archdiocese. For 100 years, through every era of war, peace, poverty and prosperity, Catholic Charities has worked together with the faithful to fulfill the Gospel mission to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, welcome the stranger, comfort the afflicted, and bring hope to the hopeless. Each year on Mother s Day, we have an opportunity to make a financial contribution to the Catholic Charities Mother s Day Collection. This year, as we face increasing violence in our communities, it is a critical time for us to come together to support Catholic Charities. With more than 150 locations throughout Cook and Lake Counties, Catholic Charities services are intentionally located in the most troubled areas. Through food and nutrition programs, early childhood education, alternatives for at-risk youth, trauma and grief counseling, job training, domestic violence programs, and substance abuse treatment, Catholic Charities services are a powerful antidote the culture of drugs, gangs and violence that takes root in desperate areas. Your donation to Catholic Charities w ill help the Church s efforts to promote peace, restore human dignity, and bring hope to those living with brutal violence and poverty. Please contribute as generously as you are able during Catholic Charities collection on Mother s Day. Or, make your do nations directly to Catholic Charities at 721 N. LaSalle St., Chicago, IL 60654, www.catholiccharities.net/donate. May God bless you and your families. Page 3 Sincerely yours in Christ, Cardinal Blase J. Cupich Archbishop of Chicago

Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza Dziś przeżywamy w USA Dzień Matki! Naszą życzliwą i gorliwą modlitwą ogarniamy nasze Drogie Mamy tak żyjące jak i zmarłe. To Wam dedykujemy poniższy wiersz: Za to, Mamo, że w noc czujnie strzeżesz kolorowych i spokojnych mych snów; za to, Mamo, że ci zawsze mogę wierzyć, że rozumiesz mnie nawet bez słów; cóż Ci dzisiaj mogę za to dać, Najdroższa Mamo? Po jednym kwiatku za noc każdą nieprzespaną, po jednym kwiatku za każde zmartwienie, po jednym kwiatku za płynące z Twych rąk ukojenie. Za każdą Twoją zmarszczkę - jeden kwiat i jeden za każdy siwy włos. Pod nogi trzeba by Ci rzucić cały świat, wszystkie kwiaty na ogromny stos. Z najlepszymi życzeniami oraz duchowym bukietem kwiatów: Ks. Mariusz (proboszcz) wraz ze Współpracownikami! Wiosna 2017 Drodzy Bracia i Drogie Siostry w Chrystusie, Bieżący rok jest szczególny dla Archidiecezji Chicago, gdyż obchodzimy w nim setną rocznicę działalności organizacji charytat ywnej Catholic Charities. Stulecie Catholic Charities jest prawdziwie dla nas świętem, gdyż we w spaniałej tradycji działalności tej organizacji charytatywnej zawiera się wsparcie udzielane przez wolontariuszy i o fiarodawców ze wszystkich parafii naszej archidiecezji. Organizacja charytatywna Catholic Charities od stu lat, niezależnie od okoliczności czy jest to czas wojny, pokoju, ubóstwa, czy dobrobytu wraz z wiernymi, wypełnia ewangeliczną misję karmienia głodnych, udzielania schronienia bezdomnym, przyjmowania przybyszów, pocieszania strapionych, niesienia nadziei tym, którzy znaleźli się w rozpaczliwej sytuacji. Każdego roku w Dniu Matki, podczas kolekty Catholic Charities z okazji Dnia Matki mamy możliwość udzielenia finansowego wsparcia na rzecz tej dobroczynnej organizacji. Bieżący rok, kiedy w naszych społecznościach stajemy w obliczu wzmagającej się przemocy, jest dla nas kluczowym momentem, aby zjednoczyć się i wspólnie udzielić wsparcia Catholic Charities. Organizacja ta posiada ponad 150 placówek położonych w powiatach Cook i Lake. Miejsca, w których Catholic Charities udziela usług celowo zostały umieszczone w najtrudniejszych terenach naszych powiatów. Posługi świadczone przez Catholic Charities tworzą ważną kulturę, która stanowi antidotum na narkomanię, działalność gangów i przemoc zakorzenioną na terenach desperacko potrzebujących pomocy. Catholic Charities osiąga to realizując programy żywieniowe, edukacji w zakresie odżywiania, wczesnej edukacji dzieci, przez stwarzanie alternatywnych możliwości dla zagrożonej młodzieży, udzielanie poradnictwa osobom przeżywającym traumę i pogrążonym w smutku, szkolenia zawodowe, programy przeciwdziałania przemocy w rodzinie i przez leczenie uzależnień. Ofiara złożona przez Was na rzecz Catholic Charities wspomoże wysiłki Kościoła w promowaniu pokoju, przywracaniu ludzkiej godność i niesieniu nadziei tym, którzy żyją w brutalnej rzeczywistości przemocy i w ubóstwie. Proszę, abyście podczas kolekty w Dniu Matki na rzecz Catholic Charities złożyli hojną ofiarę, zgodnie ze swoimi możliwościami finansowymi. Możecie również składać donacje bezpośrednio w Catholic Charities pod adresem 721 N. LaSalle St., Chicago, IL 60654, www.catholiccharities.net/donate. Niech Bóg błogosławi Wam i Waszym rodzinom. Szczerze oddany Wam w Chrystusie, Kardynał Błażej J. Cupich Arcybiskup Chicago 20 maja tj. w sobotę o godz. 11 rano na parkingu przed kościołem odbędzie się specjalna modlitwa w intencji motocyklistów oraz poświęcenie ich motorów.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In many parish churches, more rarely in monastery churches and cathedrals, the tabernacle with the Blessed Sacrament is visible from a doorway or aisle in the church. Normally, a person is to give the proper sign of reverence, a genuflection, when passing in proximity to the tabernacle. The word genuflect comes from Latin roots meaning bending (or flexing) the knee. A common-sense exception to the rule is for a sacristan who is taking care of the church and can t be genuflecting every thirty seconds during a vacuum run. Also excepted are persons in procession entrusted with important symbols of the Lord s presence. So, a crossbearer or a minister carrying the Gospel book, or ministers on their way to their Communion stations do not genuflect. For everyone else, the usual sign of reverence for the Lord s presence in the Blessed Sacrament is to genuflect on the right knee.the oldest form of reverence during prayer in our tradition is standing; kneeling or genuflecting is a sign borrowed from old civic practice. The posture of kneeling, even on one knee, is a sign of submission. Servants would take this position before their masters in the ancient world. It said: I m not running away, I m yours, I m here for you. This is what your genuflection says when you enter a Catholic church where the place of reservation of the Blessed Sacrament is visible to you: I m yours.
