TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION You need more than water for a bath. Most family bathrooms contain an arsenal of soaps and emollients, lotions, shampoos, and conditioners to combat grime and honor the body. A bath without oil is still unthinkable. No wonder early Christians used lavish amounts of oil to paint the skin of people drawn dripping wet from the baptismal font on Easter. There were two oils used in baptism long ago. Oil of exorcism protected candidates from evil spirits; it strengthened their resolve and purified their purposes. The second oil, slathered over them after baptisms bath, sealed them, making them like Christ, the anointed one, the priest, the prophet, the king. Chrism has always had a powerful odor; rich resinous perfumes are stirred in before it is consecrated. As the newly baptized were embraced by new brothers and sisters in Christ, the scent permeated the hall of Eucharist, a sign of our connection to Christ and to one another. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Go to www.ilcatholic.org and click on the 91 days banner to learn more and sign up. The readings will be offered in both English and Spanish.

91 Days The Catholic

THE FABLE OF THE PORCUPINES It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves, but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions. After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So, they had to make a choice: accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they decided to get back together and work it out. They learned to live with the little wounds caused by their close relationship in order to stay warm and survive. Moral of the Story: The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other persons good qualities. The 2014 Mass Book is Open. Please stop at the
parish office (8000 S. Linder) if you would like to reserve Masses for your loved ones. Parish office hours: Monday - Friday 8:30 am to 8:30 pm Saturday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Closed Sundays

This quote from Matthew 9:37-38 is especially true in the St. Albert the Great Religious Education program. Each year our numbers continue to grow. Next year in the 2014/2015 school year we expect continued growth in our CCD program. We fully anticipate four first grade classes, four second grade classes, and possibly four seventh grade classes, and four eighth grade classes. In addition we will be adding a CCD kindergarten class, an additional special Sacrament class, and a basic Catholicism class. We will also be going to a weekly program, for the school year 2014/2015 we will meet weekly with the last week of the month being off. The following year in 2015/2016 CCD will meet weekly. If you have a desire to share your faith, to teach kids about Jesus please consider becoming a CCD teacher. If maybe at one time you did teach CCD, is God calling you back? You are more than welcome to return. We will train new CCD teachers. If you are interested we would like you to start this year as soon as possible so you can observe other teachers in their classrooms. Fill out the form below and drop it in the offertory basket or drop it off at the parish office, or during the week to the CCD office in the school. If you want more information or would like to talk with me directly please call me at 708 636-0406. Thank you for your consideration and may God continue to bless and keep you.

WITO MATKI BOEJ Z LOURDES - We wtorek, 11 lutego, przypada liturgiczne wspomnienie Najwitszej Maryi Panny z Lourdes. Dokadnie tego dnia w 1858 roku, w cztery lata po ogoszeniu dogmatu o Niepokalanym Poczciu, Matka Najwitsza objawia si Bernadecie Soubirous w Massabielskiej Grocie. XXII WIATOWY DZIE CHORYCH - wito Matki Boej z Lourdes czymy z obchodami wiatowego Dnia Chorych. Mamy wic szczegln okazj do pogbienia wraliwoci, refleksji i czynnego dziaania wobec cierpicych i chorych, osamotnionych, dla tych, ktrych mamy blisko siebie, i dla tych, ktrych nie znamy. wiat potrzebuje wielu dobrych Samarytan. Serdecznie prosz o pomoc wszystkim chorym, niepenosprawnym, seniorom w dotarciu do naszej wityni! W tym dniu bdziemy pamita o nich i otacza modlitw. Za w pitek, 14 lutego, przypada wito Cyryla (826-869), mnicha, i Metodego (815-885), biskupa. Ci urodzeni w Cesarstwie Wschodnim bracia, znajcy rne jzyki z hebrajskim, syryjskim i acin wcznie, piastujcy rne godnoci kocielne, podjli wiele udanych wypraw misyjnych, midzy innymi do kraju Chazarw na Krymie, do Bugarii i na Morawy, gdzie wprowadzili do liturgii jzyk sowiaski. Cyryl przetumaczy Pismo wite na jzyk starocerkiewnosowiaski. Tym jzykiem nadal posuguje si kilkadziesit milionw braci prawosawnych i kilka milionw grekokatolikw. Obaj wici s uwaani za apostow Sowian. W 1980 roku Ojciec wity Jan Pawe II ogosi ich wsppatronami Europy, podnoszc tym samym wspomnienie do rangi wita. Tego samego dnia przypada rwnie liturgiczne wspomnienie w. Walentego, obecnie przyzywanego jako patrona narzeczonych i zakochanych. Warto jednak pamita, by ten dzie nie by jedynie jeszcze jedn okazj do przelotnego zatrzymania si na naszych uczuciach, lecz stawa si okazj do pogbienia wzajemnej mioci i yczliwoci.
