Page Four ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO OFFICE OF THE ARCHBISHOP October 18, 2015 Dear Friends, The visit of Pope Francis last month to our country was a vivid reminder of the unity we share as Catholics throughout the world, especially with those living in poverty and in missionary lands. This month he is asking us to join him in giving expression to that unity by supporting the Churches at the margins through the annual collection on World Mission Sunday. While we may not be the ones who travel afar to preach the Gospel, we can be missionary disciples by our generous support of those who do. As we think about participating in this worldwide effort to spread the Gospel through the Holy Father s Society for the Propagation of the Faith, we in the United States should remember that the Church in this nation was under this very same Vatican designation up until the last century. People from around the world donated generously as our dioceses were created, our parishes were built, and priests and religious from foreign lands came here to provide leadership. In fact, even to this day we enjoy the generosity of many priests and religious from other lands who serve in our parishes. We have been blessed by the sacrifices of others, and now it is our turn. We have been blessed with faith and abundant resources. Now the Pope is asking us to help him help others. While I know that many parishes have their own missionary efforts through twinning and other relationships with dioceses and parishes abroad, the annual collection on World Mission Sunday provides us as the Archdiocese of Chicago an opportunity to join together in expressing our solidarity with Pope Francis by generously supporting this collection. When he came to our country as a missionary last month, he pointedly reminded us of our heritage of once being a mission Church, but he also urged us now to be a Church with a mission. The churches supported by the Pope s Society for the Propagation of the Faith oftentimes suffer from great poverty, and even violent persecution, social unrest, and wars. They need our help. They need our financial support, and they need our prayers. By contributing to the appeal on World Mission Sunday we are saying to our brothers and sisters around St. William the globe: You are not forgotten! The Church is with you in spirit; we embrace you and we seek justice. Catholics living in these troubled parts of the world, in more than a thousand dioceses, need us to be the merciful, compassionate presence of Christ. They need us to bring them the hope that comes through solidarity. Let s let the Holy Father know we stand with him. Sincerely yours in Christ, Most Reverend Blase J. Cupich Archbishop of Chicago FIRST GRADE NEWS The first graders started the year off with great enthusiasm and energy. We were happy to see our friends from last year and welcomed new students to our class. We have new supplies, new books and our very own desks.

MEDYTACJA AD IEDZIEL Ą EWA GELIĄ 29 iedziela Zwykła odmienne Boże drogi 1. Jakub, Jan i my. Przez 3 lata cała firma ciężko pracowała, wszyscy pracownicy dawali z siebie wszystko, aby osiągnąć jak najlepsze rezultaty. Teraz wyobraź sobie, że pewnego dnia, któryś z pracowników na spotkaniu firmy wstaje i mówi do szefa, żeby zrobił go menadżerem zarządzającym całą resztą. Możesz sobie wyobrazić, jaką złość wzbudził on takim zachowaniem u innych znajomych-pracowników firmy. Oni wszyscy przecież ciężko wspólnie pracowali na sukces. Dlaczego niby on ma mieć specjalne względy u swojego szefa? 2. Odpowiedź Jezusa. Ten powyższy scenariusz wydarzeń pokazuje nam współcześnie sytuację, jaka się wydarzyła w Ewangelii, kiedy to Jakub i Jan poprosili Pana Jezusa, żeby im zapewnił specjalne miejsca po prawej i po lewej stronie kiedy będą Już z Jezusem w Królestwie niebieskim. Wszak wszyscy uczniowie ciężko pracowali, trudzili się i wiernie naśladowali Jezusa, dlaczegóż więc tych dwóch ma być wyniesionych ponad innych, otrzymać specjalne miejsca w chwale niebieskiej? 3. Odmienne drogi Boże. Zdaje się, że Jakub i Jan nie zrozumieli trzech ważnych spraw. A mianowicie, po pierwsze, że Jezus był Królem niebieskim, a nie ziemskim. Królestwo jakie chciał zaprowadzić, to królestwo miłości i miłosierdzia, a nie dominacji i siły. Po drugie, nie zrozumieli oni, że Jezus przyszedł na ziemię, aby umrzeć dla zbawienia ludzi, a nie królować. Nie przyszedł na ten świat, aby Mu służono jak królowi, lecz aby służyć ludziom, aż po wydanie swojego życia na okup za wielu. Wreszcie, po trzecie, owi dwaj uczniowie, nie pojęli jeszcze, że tutaj nie chodzi o rywalizację. Każdy, kto służy Jezusowi otrzyma honorowe miejsce w niebie! Podobnie jak apostołowie, także Ty, należysz do grona uczniów Jezusa. Pomyśl więc jaką rolę chcesz pełnić w Jego towarzystwie. W jaki sposób On Cię woła do służenia innym, aby szerzyć Jego Królestwo już tutaj na ziemi? Jaką dasz Mu odpowiedź? Zapraszam na spotkanie biblijne w srode, 23.X, godz. 20:00!
