TRUE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY

Can you imagine a world such as the one put before
us in todays scripture readings? Communities of
believers everywhere would support and encourage
one another and be identified as Christians by the way
they love each other. It would be a world with no tears,
no death and mourning, no crying out in pain. Behold,
I make all things new, we hear the Son of God say in
the second reading from the book of Revelation (21:5).
Is this world of Johns vision only imaginary? Are
these faithful followers for whom Jesus prayed only a
saviors dream? Today they are put before us as a
worthy goal. How much closer can we come to this
vision of a true Christian community in our lives
today? Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
CHURCH Church in Greek means convocation,
or assembly in Latin, because all are called to be
members of it. St. Isidore

Help the
Vulnerable: Urge
Elected Leaders to
Pass a State
Budget
Every 30 seconds someone counts on Catholic
Charities for help. We are now asking for your help.
Please lend your voice to advocate for the State of
Illinois to end its budget stalemate and pass a budget
that cares for the poor and most vulnerable in our
communities. Catholic Charities is currently owed
more than $25 million by the State of Illinois a
number that grows by at least $2 million per month.
Please take time today to call your state elected
officials with this simple message, I am a voter in
your district. I am contacting you on behalf of the
poor and vulnerable people who depend on our
states safety net of human
services, especially the more
than 1 million people served
by Catholic Charities of the
Archdiocese of Chicago. If you
do not know who your state
representative and senator
are, please call the State
Board of Elections at (217) 782
-4141 or visit www.elections.il.gov and click on New
District/ Official Search. You can find more
information and a template advocacy letter at
www.CatholicCharities.net on the homepage.

I was ill and you cared for me

Devastated doesnt even begin to describe the
feelings of parents who lose a child to gun violence.
Catholic Charities counsels those experiencing
trauma or loss. We have support groups to help
those who struggle with substance abuse or live with
AIDS. Seniors discharged from the hospital get
special care to remain home on the path to healing.
Give to Catholic Charities on Mothers Day to keep
people healthy in body, mind, and spirit. Learn more
at www.catholiccharities.net.

Behold, Gods dwelling is with the human

race. Revelation 21:3

Pro-Life
We will again have flowers
available for Mothers Day, May
7th and 8th after Masses, while
they last. This years flowers will
be bouquets, already made up, of mixed flowers
and will cost $10.00. They will make a lovely gift
while helping Womens Care Center to give free
pregnancy tests, ultra sounds, counseling, baby
food, baby clothes and much more - and will save
you a shopping trip!

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

The French Revolution swept the church in
France away in an astonishing way, stripping the
nation of every possible vestige of the faith, not
merely shuttering churches, but using them as
staging areas for pagan raves and romps. While
millions of faithful simply went underground and
hung on for the ride, even the seven-day week was
demolished along with the names of the months.
What emerged from the chaos was the Napoleonic
Code of 1792 governing church life, and therefore
marriage law in France, French Canada, and
elsewhere. The code makes civil marriage mandatory
for all citizens.
In practice, when the faithful marry, they go first
to the City Hall. There, the mayor performs the civil
marriage, usually accompanied by a patriotic speech
about the duties of the citizen, particularly in the
rearing of children. Then, typically after a lunch,
everyone goes off to change into more festive attire
for the wedding liturgy, featuring consent, the
exchange of rings, and the nuptial blessing. Sadly,
only a minority of citizens today celebrate even the
civil form of the rite, and a fraction of those continue
on to the church. For those who do celebrate the
liturgy of marriage, however, there is near certainty
that the spouses are active worshipers, and that they
will later present their children for baptism.

St. Albert the Great School News

The fourth grade class studied southwest farming and ranching. They
did several activities which included creating a classroom mural, and
sharing food at their Taste of the Southwest celebration. The
students also learned about Kachina Dolls, which were used to teach
Native American children about culture, morals, and values. The students then created their own Kachina Dolls and wrote about them.

KTO ZASIADA NA TRONIE MOJEGO SERCA?

Nowe perspektywy na przyszo, nowe gbiny mioci, nowe wymiary modlitwy Spotkanie z Bogiem
prowadzi nas wanie do odkrycia tego, co nowe.
wity Jan Aposto zobaczy w widzeniu, e
Zasiadajcy na tronie czyni wszystko nowe (II czytanie). Przyjcie Chrystusa na tron wasnego serca pociga
za sob ryzyko, e wszystko stanie si nowe. Jest to
ryzyko, w ktrym zyski zawsze bd wiksze ni straty.
Jednak straty s realnym dowiadczeniem, na ktre
trzeba si zgodzi.
Pawe i Barnaba, wypeniajc misj goszenia Ewangelii,
przyczynili si do tego, e Bg otworzy poganom drzwi
wiary (I czytanie). Bya to perspektywa zupenie nowej
egzystencji. ycie wiar to propozycja, ktra nadal jest
nowa i sama w sobie jest pocigajca, a zarazem napawajca lkiem. Tylko wewntrzna decyzja moe sprawi, e
Chrystus, ktry przyciga, stanie si bliski, a lk si rozproszy. Tre nowego ycia, do ktrego Bg zaprasza
czowieka, jest okrelona nowym przykazaniem mioci:
[] abycie si wzajemnie miowali tak, jak Ja was
umiowaem (Ewangelia). Sowa te pochodz z ust Syna
Boego i odkrywaj nowe zdolnoci czowieka, ktry
moe kocha na wzr samego Zbawiciela.
Aby zachysn si piknem krajobrazu widzianego ze
szczytu gry, konieczne jest wejcie na wierzchoek. Oby
nie zatrzymywa nas aden al z powodu odczuwanej
straty, z powodu oddalenia si od tego, co rozpociera si
w dolinach. Obymy z odwag wychodzili na wyyny
wiary i przyjmowali nowe perspektywy, now mio,
nowe ycie, ktre Bg przewidzia dla nas od zaoenia
wiata. ks. Mariusz Rosik
