SHARINGS FROM THE PASTOR
Happy Mothers’ Day to all the women of our parish who
rightfully deserve that title. I say this because there are
any number of ways in which the term “mother” is used
that do not pertain directly to a biological relationship.
The extended application deservedly goes to anyone who
has given life and nurturing to others. This obviously
includes adopted relationships as well as less formal and
legal relationships where great love and care is given to
others.
This connection with mothers and caring is, of course,
the reason for Catholic Charities having selected Mothers’ Day so many years ago as the appropriate day for its
annual appeal. This year presents us with an even more
urgent need because of the juvenile antics of our state
legislature and chief executive officer. You may have
read a few weeks ago that some of the social care agencies in the state have been forced to curtail their services.
One major church welfare system has been forced to
cease operation entirely. Catholic Charities of Chicago
has been able to keep operating in no small part because
of the generous contributions of parishes like ours each
year. It is one of the appeals that you very generously
respond to and I want again to commend you for your
generosity and concern for those who truly suffer in our
society for lack of resources and opportunities.
The sad fact, however, is that even with so much effort
and with such a range of services, many people still go
without basic human needs. It is one of the challenges of
being a democratic society for us to keep demanding of
our elected officials that they elevate the needs of the
poor to a higher level of priority in the budgets of all the
public bodies, from the lowest to the highest. While this
often faces great opposition because of the many needs
of our citizens and the limitations of resources, we need
to keep these issues in the public eye. Along with this,
we can keep watching for ways to goad our elected officials into being more efficient and economical in funding
the systems that respond to all these needs. I wish I could
be clearer about how this can be done, but it is not my
field of expertise.
Today is also the forty-second anniversary of my ordination to the priesthood. My classmates will tell you that it
was a cold, rainy day. I am writing this column too far
ahead of the day to know what is being forecast for
May 8.
Like I said two years ago
at the fortieth anniversary,
“I don’t know where the
time has gone.” I usually
tell people that I tend to
blame this on the metric
system, because it seems to
me that after “they” tried to
get us off gallons and
quarts and onto liters and
so on, that things have
gotten out of hand. This is
also how I explain the
fact that my nieces and
nephews and great nieces and great nephews keep getting
older while I don’t. Although I do have to admit that it is
getting more difficult to deny the aging process than it
was even a few years ago.
But I digress.
This is also the day we celebrate “Ascension Thursday.”
Because the Book of the Acts of the Apostles has the
ascension take place forty days after Easter Sunday, the
event has been celebrated on Thursday for quite a few
centuries. However you may recall that a few years ago
the American Bishops Conference decided to offer the
option of transferring the feast to the next Sunday. The
Archdiocese of Chicago was one of the dioceses that
made the change and here we are. However, not every
diocese make the change and so our missalettes have to
allow for both options, which can create some confusion
in the pews.
The Ascension reminds us that Jesus had to return to the
Father so that he could send the Holy Spirit on the
Church. Each succeeding generation has enjoyed the
guidance of the Holy Spirit, but not always in an eager
way. The direction of the Spirit is not always the one that
we would choose for ourselves. However, it does allow us
to be deliberate in our attempts to be authentic disciples
of the Lord. This is why we need to keep challenging
ourselves to be more active in the world around us. It is
not for us to keep looking into the sky and wait for Jesus
to return. Rather we need to be active in helping our
world to be ready for that second coming.

THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD
May 8, 2016
God mounts his throne amid shouts of joy; the
LORD, amid trumpet blasts.
— Psalm 47:6
Jubilee Year of Mercy
Between Ascension and Pentecost, the apostles “devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together
with some women and Mary the mother of Jesus” (Acts 1:12–14). Mary’s presence at the center of the
disciples’ circle of prayer provides “a source of comfort and strength,” says Pope Francis, for Mary’s “entire life was
patterned after the presence of mercy made flesh.” At the foot of the cross, Mary witnessed Jesus’ forgiveness of his
executioners, a supreme expression of the depths to which God’s mercy can reach. “Mary attests that the mercy of the
Son of God knows no bounds and extends to everyone, without exception,” Francis notes. Being able to live that
unconditional forgiving mercy is the grace we pray the Holy Spirit to bestow. During these days of prayer before
Pentecost, in this month dedicated to Our Lady, “may the sweetness of [Mary’s] countenance watch over us,” Francis
prays, “so that all of us may rediscover the joy of God’s tenderness” (Misericordiae Vultus, 24).

SECOND COLLECTION TODAY
A Gift of Mercy: 2016 Mother's Day Appeal
In this Year of Mercy, we can build a better future for those who are crushed by poverty or
burdened by sorrow. Be an instrument of mercy with your gift to the Catholic Charities Mother’s Day Appeal.
Who needs your gift of mercy? Someone who gets up each day to go to work, but isn’t sure if he’ll be able
to make ends meet. A formerly homeless woman preparing for her first job. A man who is conquering addiction. A teen-age mother completing high school, caring responsibly for her infant, and preparing for a selfsufficient future. An older adult with a fixed income who wants safe, affordable housing. Catholic Charities is
here for anyone in need. Each year more than one million people in Cook and Lake Counties are cared for by
Catholic Charities. They help one person at a time, treating each with dignity and respect. Your gift will touch
every stage of life – from infants to seniors, to build a better life. Whether it’s to help one scared teenager, one
homeless family, one homebound senior, or one veteran in need of shelter and employment, no one is turned
away. To learn more about Catholic Charities visit www.catholiccharities.net.

Psalm 1`39:13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Today we remember and honor moms & the women who have made a difference in our lives: a grandmother,
godmother, aunt, sister, foster mother, special friend and Mary, our Mother of mothers. For their patience, their
love, their generosity, we thank God! And let us pray for the best gifts of all – safety, peace and hope for a future
without violence in our homes, our streets and our community.
Did you know…Each minute - Twenty-four people are victims of intimate partner violence, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Each day - Three or more women are murdered by their
boyfriends or husbands on average, according to the American Psychology Association.
Each month - The National Domestic Violence Hotline receives an average of 22,000 calls.
Each year - Over 12 million women and men are victims of intimate partner violence,
according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
When we are silent, we allow domestic violence to be invisible. We undervalue and
disrespect lives in our own community. This mother’s day, please pledge across the
Chicago Archdiocese. I will: End the silence on domestic violence. Be violence free in all
my relationships. Educate myself, my family and children about healthy relationships.
In grateful acknowledgement
of his years of service,
you are invited to the

We acknowledge the women in our lives who are or have been our mothers.
We also celebrate those wives, grandmothers, godmothers, aunts, sisters,
daughters, and friends who have been like mothers to us. We pray for them
this Mother’s Day, as we remember the love, kindness, and nurturing these
women — young and old, living and deceased — have brought to our lives.
