December 27, 2015 Holy Family Sunday Page Four What to do before and during confession 8 th Commandment: You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor Have I ed, gossiped? Did I talk about another behind his back? Did I judge others rashly in serious ma ers? Have I told the unknown faults of others without necessity, even though they may be true? Am I sincere? Did I reveal secrets that should have been kept confiden al? Am I cri cal, uncharitable in my talk? Have I tried to make res tu on for the bad reputa on I have caused? 9 th Commandment: You shall not covet your neighbor's wife Have I consented to impure thoughts? Have I caused them by stares, bad reading, curiosity or impure conversa ons? Do I neglect to control my imagina on? Do I pray at once to banish such bad thoughts and tempta ons? 10 th Commandment: You shall not covet your neighbor's goods Is my heart greedy? Am I jealous of what another has? Am I envious of another because I don't have it? Am I moody, gloomy? Do I work, study and keep busy to counter idle thoughts? Is my heart set on earthly possessions or on the true treasure? Be truly sorry for your sins The essen al act of penance, on the part of the penitent, is contri on, i.e., a clear and decisive rejec on of the sin commi ed with the resolu on not to commit it again. As you recall your sins, you should try to foster a sorrow for them. You are not trying to just put together a list of thoughts, words or ac ons that you have done wrong. Each sin reflects a lack of love for your Father God. And it is important to be sorry for these lacks of love. The resolu on to avoid commi ng these sins in the future (amendment) is a sure sign that your sorrow is genuine and authen c. It is not enough to say you are sorry, you should try to struggle to eliminate these sins from your life. God's grace with the inten on to rec fy your life will give you the strength to resist and overcome tempta on in the future. W In general, you should men on your sins and the number of mes you have commi ed them. You begin with the usual introductory gree ng and make the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The priest says: May the Lord be in your heart and help you to confess your sins with true sorrow. You then confess your sins. You may begin by saying: Bless me father, for I have sinned. My last confession was (state number of weeks, months or years since your last confession). My sins are as follows: (state sins) Following your confession of sins, say: I am sorry for these and all of my sins The priest gives you appropriate advice and imposes a penance. The priest invites you to make an act of contri on. You may say, for instance: O my God, I am sorry for my sins will all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I fully intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. or Lord Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. The priest, ac ng in the person of Christ, then absolves you from your sins. You answer: Amen.

December 27, 2015 Holy Family Sunday Page Eight PEREGRINATION OF DIVINE MERCY IMAGE AT OUR PARISH We have begun a profound me of grace in the life of the Church, the Jubilee Year of Mercy. As pope Francis notes, We need constantly to contemplate the mystery of mercy. It is a wellspring of joy, serenity, and peace. As Saint Ferdinand community, one of the designated Jubilee parishes in the Archdiocese of Chicago, we have begun a peregrina on of the Divine Mercy image. Peregrina on is a tradi onal form of devo on in which a holy image or figure is taken by church members from home to home for a period one week. Each evening family members and friends gather around for prayer, reading and reflec on. During this Jubilee of Mercy we want to foster an atmosphere of such devo on. We know that a faith community and families that invoke God s love experience His divine Mercy, differences within the family are reconciled, graces of perseverance are given, and God s blessings are felt. If you would like to par cipate in the peregrina on of the Divine Mercy image and receive it during a Sunday Mass to your home for one week, please contact our parish office at (773)622-5900 and ask for Sister Kamila. Archdiocesan Mass for Life Saturday, January 9 Join Archbishop Blase J. Cupich and priests from across the Archdiocese of Chicago for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as we pe on the Lord to transform our society from a culture of death into a culture of life. The Archdiocesan Mass for Life will be celebrated at St. Cletus Parish, 600 West 55th Street in La Grange, on Saturday, January 9, at 5 p.m. At this Mass, we will remember the innocent children lost and the women, men and families hurt through abor on as we reflect on the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Page Nine Holy Family Sunday December 27, 2015 Warunki uzyskania odpustu zupełnego podczas trwania Jubileuszu Miłosierdzia Brama to nie automat Sam zewnętrzny znak przejścia przez Bramę nie wystarczy jednak do przyjęcia daru miłosierdzia. Naszemu działaniu musi bowiem towarzyszyć odpowiednia postawa, oparta na refleksji moralnej, dotyczącej dotychczasowego życia oraz sakramentalna spowiedź. Krótko mówiąc przypieczętowana rozgrzeszeniem decyzja nawrócenia. Przypomnmy, że w Roku Jubileuszowym odpust zupełny uzyskać można pod "zwykłymi warunkami". Oznacza to, że aby otrzymać darowanie kary doczesnej za grzechy należy Warunki stałe są następujące: 1. przystąpienie do sakramentu pokuty (trwanie w stanie łaski uświęcającej); 2. przyjęcie Komunii św.; 3. modlitwa według intencji Ojca Świętego; 4. wykluczenie przywiązania do wszelkiego grzechu nawet lekkiego. Dla poszczególnych wiernych zostały wyznaczone następujące czyny obdarzone odpustem: 1. Wszyscy wierni mogą zyskać odpust zupełny odbywając pielgrzymkę do Drzwi Świętych otwartych w Bazylikach papieskich w Rzymie, w każdej Katedrze oraz kościołach wyznaczonych przez Biskupa Diecezjalnego. Ważne jest, aby ten moment był połączony przede wszystkim z Sakramentem Pojednania i uczestnictwem we Mszy św. oraz refleksją nad miłosierdziem. Konieczne będzie, by tym celebracjom towarzyszyło wyznanie wiary i modlitwa za mnie prosi Ojciec Święty oraz w intencjach, które noszę w sercu dla dobra Kościoła i całego świata. 2. Każdy wierny, który sam wykona jeden lub kilka uczynków miłosierdzia co do ciała i duszy także może zyskać odpust zupełny, spełniając równocześnie stałe warunki uzyskania odpustu. Koniecznie w tym przypadku trzeba jednak spełnić warunki stałe. 3. W Roku Miłosierdzia wszyscy kapłani uzyskują możliwość rozgrzeszania z grzechu aborcji: Również z tego powodu postanowiłem, mimo wszelkich przeciwnych rozporządzeń, upoważnić wszystkich kapłanów w Roku Jubileuszowym do rozgrzeszenia z grzechu aborcji osób, które jej dokonały, żałują tego z całego serca i proszą o przebaczenie. Niech kapłani przygotują się do tego wielkiego zadania, by potrafili łączyć słowa szczerego przyjęcia z refleksją, która pomoże zrozumieć popełniony grzech oraz wskaże drogę autentycznego nawrócenia, by pojąć prawdziwe i wielkoduszne przebaczenie Ojca, który wszystko odnawia swoją obecnością. PRZYPOMINAMY: Odpust zupełny można zyskać tylko raz dziennie. Odpust cząstkowy zyskujemy, gdy nie jest spełniony któryś z warunków odpustu zupełnego. Aby zyskać odpust cząstkowy wystarczą: wykonanie przewidzianego czynu i skrucha serca (jakaś forma żalu za grzechy). Odpusty możemy zyskiwać dla siebie lub dla zmarłych.

December 27, 2015 Holy Family Sunday Page Thirteen Today we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family. I ve wri en o en about the first reading because the prophet Sirach s message touches me deeply. People who know me know that I le the corporate world to care for my father here in my home a er my mom died suddenly back in the mid-90s. I had Dad for over five years un l the Parkinson s complica ons took him down. So when I hear Sirach say, Whoever honors his father atones for sins and preserves himself from them. When he prays, he is heard, I get a good feeling inside. Of course, Sirach also says, My son, take care of your father when he is old Even if his mind fail, be considerate of him; revile him not all the days of his life While I know my caregiving shortcomings are long forgiven, I d be lying to say that I don t think of them every once in a while. But today I want to focus on the Gospel passage, the Finding in the Temple. In truth, this is one my favorites stories in the whole book. I like it so much because I can just see it happening, you know? I was hell-on-wheels when I was twelve years old. I wasn t a trouble-maker, but I took that bicycle everywhere. My folks once called the hospital looking for me because I was missing for most of the day when I was really just hanging out with my buddies here and there. No cell phones back then, of course. And my own children were twelve once, too, and I remember always having the need to know where they were, and who they were with. Mary and Joseph are no different in the Gospel text. She thinks her twelve year-old is in the caravan s company with Support Staff Mrs. Zofia Mazurek, Parish Secretary Sr. Kamila Wojdyla, Administrative Assistant Ms. Elizabeth Ceisel-Mikowska, Bulletin Editor Mr. Kamil Duda, Website Designer/Editor ON FINDING JESUS Copyright 2015 by John B.

Joseph thinks the same. Un l they both realize--a er asking perhaps Hey! Where s Jesus? so many mes--that he isn t. So back they go Reminds me of Where s Waldo. Jesus doesn t go around wearing a red-and-white striped sweater and stocking cap. Or maybe he does. Which might just make it easier for us. Because certainly at mes, we all must wonder Hey! Where s Jesus? in our lives. Probably when bad things are going down and we re feeling overwhelmed by life. To quote a song lyric from Godspell, You d bet that Job/ has nothing on you. Conversely, when everything is going right with us and our li le sec on of the universe, we might not only stop looking for Jesus, we might forget about him altogether. Not purposefully. But more in a I ve -got-this sort of way, whatever this is at the moment. And this is most unfortunate, because I think Jesus wants to be involved in all aspects of our lives, not just the big stuff. Maybe if I had whispered a few more, Jesus, help me to be pa ent with my father prayers years ago, I could have done be er with Pop. But I m learning to ask Jesus to be with me more and more these days even in the li le things. I believe he actually helped me with my Christmas shopping a couple of weekends ago. In our family rela onships and our rela onship with the world-at-large, I think that if we invite Jesus into all aspects of our lives, we ll never have to wonder Hey! Where s Jesus? again.
