Our Stewardship

As members of the parish faith community, it is our
responsibility to remember both in concrete and
spiritual ways those who cannot celebrate with us each

remember all of us daily in their prayers and in their sufferings.

Thank you for sharing your „TREASURE”
with St. Ferdinand Parish
BÓG ZAPŁAĆ!
PLEASE REMEMBER ST. FERDINAND PARISH
IN YOUR WILL.
“Everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions
cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33
When we first hear this statement, it seems that Jesus is
making an unrealis c demand upon us. How can we renounce
all of our possessions? We need them to live. However, what
we must renounce is the belief that they belong to
us. Everything that we have belongs to God alone. All of our
resources are entrusted to us not only for our own use, but
also so that we can help others.
Thank you!
Sincere THANK YOU to all who give their me
to keep our church clean. Thank you for your
faithfulness and dependability. Please know
that your help is very much valued and
appreciated.
We invite anyone able to help with the church cleaning.
Please join us weekly on Mondays at 5:00 pm
and Fridays at 10:00 am. Thank you!

TODAYISTHECANONIZATIONOFBLESSEDMOTHERTERESA
Today Pope Francis will Canonize Blessed Mother Teresa in
Rome during the Sunday Mass celebrated as part of the
Jubilee for workers and volunteers of mercy. Mother Teresa's
holiness is the primary reason she's being declared a saint on
Sept. 4, but the canoniza on also has something to say on
other levels -- about what mercy looks like in prac ce and
about how to defend the faith from its cri cs.
Today’s event it’s expected to be the largest public event of
Pope Francis’ jubilee Year of Mercy. Her bea fica on in 2003
drew an es mated 300,000 people to St. Peter’s Square and
the surrounding area, and organizers an cipate that turnout
to be surpassed this me around.
On October 19, 2003, Pope John Paul II bea fied Mother Teresa of Calcu a, who died in 1997. The process leading up to the bea fica on has been the shortest in modern history. In early 1999—less than two years a er Mother Teresa's death—Pope John Paul
waived the normal five-year wai ng period and allowed the immediate opening of her canoniza on cause.
In 2002, the Holy Father recognized the healing of an Indian woman as the miracle needed to bea fy Mother Teresa of Calcu a.
That healing occurred on the first anniversary of Mother Teresa's death. It involved a non-Chris an woman in India who had a
huge abdominal tumor and woke up to find the tumor gone. Members of the Missionaries of Charity, the religious order Mother
Teresa founded, prayed for their founder's interven on to help the sick woman.
"Her life of loving service to the poor has inspired many to follow the same path. Her witness and message are cherished by those
of every religion as a sign that 'God s ll loves the world today,'" members of the Missionaries of Charity said in a statement a er
Mother Teresa's bea fica on was announced.
Since her death, they said, "people have sought her help and have experienced God's love for them through her prayers. Every
day, pilgrims from India and around the world come to pray at her tomb, and many more follow her example of humble service of
love to the most needy, beginning in their own families."
In 2001, on the feast of the Assump on of Mary, officials closed the diocesan inquiry into Mother Teresa's sanc ty. The yearlong
gathering of tes mony from those who knew Mother Teresa was the first major step in a typically long process. A year earlier, at
an August 26, 2000, celebra on in Calcu a marking Mother Teresa's birth anniversary, Hindu, Sikh, and Muslim admirers joined in
common prayers for her speedy canoniza on.
A Holy Example
In a 1981 interview, Mother Teresa spoke about another champion of the poor: St. Francis of Assisi. In a famous story of a turning
point in Francis’ life, he encounters a leper by the side of the road and passes him by. Then he realizes that if he is going to devote
his life to the poor he must embrace the leper—he must welcome him into his life as a brother. Francis then runs to the leper’s
aid. Mother Teresa commented, "The encounter with the leper made St. Francis." So, too, it is Mother Teresa’s selfless encounter
with the dying that made Mother Teresa.
It is the calling of Chris ans to serve the poor, to make room at the table for everyone. Francis came to see that. He reveled in the
foolishness of God who has special love for those whom most of us would rather avoid. Teresa learned that, too, during mid-life.
She will be named a saint because she cleared away life’s clu er and allowed God to work through her in a powerful way. We
should imitate her.

Hand-CarvedOliveWoodGiftsfrom
theHolyLand
Proceeds benefit Catholic schools in the Holy Land.
There are more than 600 Chris an families living in Bethlehem and are completely dependent on
carving olive wood figurines for their
livelihood. The recent clashes in the
Middle East have stopped the tourism
industry in Bethlehem, causing most of
those families serious harm in earning
their living and forcing many of them
to leave their homeland. Emptying the
land of Christ from Chris ans can have
tragic consequences on the Holy sites.
Issam from “Star of Bethlehem Group”
came to the United States with a mission to help those families by selling
their beau ful religious hand cra s.
The cost of goods goes to benefit the
Chris an carvers to keep them working
in the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, the profit
from sales goes directly to the needy Catholic schools and
clinics in the Holy Land. Star of Bethlehem has been approved by Archdiocese of Chicago, many Bishops, and from
diocese of Jerusalem.

ON HYPERBOLE? — Copyright 2015 by John B. Reynolds ([email protected])
My sister and her husband came up from Springfield, IL for a visit
this past weekend. More correctly, Mary and John came to
Chicago to see their son Jeff and his wife Pa y and their li le boy
Walden (twenty-two months), who were all in town from
Colorado. Jeff was here to see an old high school buddy, and
everything just came together. Albeit at the expense of a few
other things on our calendar--specifically, a friend’s BBQ on
Saturday and my home church’s annual parish picnic on Sunday-my wife and I got to spend me with all of our loved ones. And as
an added bonus, our daughter Sarah--who has visited Jeff , et. al.
when they lived first in Anchorage and more recently in suburban
Denver--found me in her busy Chicago-Triathlon-connected
weekend to join us for pizza on Saturday night and for some
wonderful Lincoln Park-ville Greek fare on Sunday a ernoon. In
truth, I enjoyed every minute of our shared meals, conversa ons,
and adventures. And yet…
“If anyone comes to me without ha ng his father and mother,
wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he
cannot be my disciple.” This is how today’s Gospel begins, with
Jesus dropping the bombshell on the large crowd travelling with
him. He goes on: “Whoever does not carry his own cross and
come a er me cannot be my disciple.” Then Jesus throws in a few
things that at first don’t seem to connect with his opening. For
example, “Which of you,” Jesus asks, “wishing to construct a
tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there
is enough for its comple on?” so that the investor can complete
the project. “Or what king marching into ba le,” he next asks,
“would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand
troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon
him with twenty thousand troops?” so that the first king has me
to nego ate peace.
As I’ve wri en before in this space, I’m no theologian, but I
think these references, while ini ally confusing, come down to
this: discipleship is not something we can do halfway. We’re
either in, or we’re out. We either build the tower, or we go home.
And yet (x2), Jesus also says, “Anyone of you who does not
renounce all of his possessions cannot be my disciple.” So…is this
hyperbole, or does the King of the Universe really mean it? I just
spent two wonderful days at home and locally with loved ones,
and under my breath more than once, I thanked God for the
opportunity. Do I tell Gail and Sarah, Mary and John, and Jeff,
Pa y and Walden all now, “Yeah, it’s been a slice…” then head off
to a monastery for the rest of my days? Right or wrong, I think
not. Right or wrong, I think my job now is to keep caring for them
and loving them and doing what I can--even with all of my
shortcomings and faults--to build up the King’s Kingdom. Per the
late management consultant Peter Drucker, “Unless commitment
is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.”
Hopefully with the people we love--but without them, if need be-may we plan every day to follow the Christ. And on our best days,
live the plan.
