Healing Images
By: Richard Rohr
Wednesday, October 14, 2015
In his classic book, Memories,
Dreams, Reflections, Carl
Jung talks about being a
Richard Rohr
young man at the outbreak
of World War I and how
the experience of massive destruction and
slaughter was impacting him and so many
Europeans. Through this trauma, Jung found,
“To the extent that I managed to translate
the emotions into images--that is to say, to
find the images which were concealed in
the emotions--I was inwardly calmed and
reassured. Had I left those images hidden
in the emotions, I might have been torn
to pieces by them. . . . As a result of my
experiment, I learned how helpful it can be,
from the therapeutic point of view, to find the
particular images which lie behind emotions.”
[1]
One of Jung’s foundational ideas is that mere
words and concepts do not give us access
to the unconscious. Certain sculptures,
biographies, images, art, and stories can
have such a striking effect on you because
what your unconscious has already halfknown is brought home to conscious
awareness by gazing upon them rather
than analyzing them. Analysis, if it remains
dominant, is merely a control mechanism of
the ego. Let the images do something with
you before you try to do something with them
is the principle here.
I believe that good art and good images (Jung
would call some of them archetypal images)
have the power to evoke an epiphany in you
and to transform you at deeper levels. That’s
why I think good art is absolutely essential
for good religion. The iconoclastic nature
of the Protestant Reformation might have
been its greatest fault. Sometimes you don’t
know what you’re experiencing in a logical,
rational way, but you can’t take your eyes off
of a picture or a piece of art. You’re drawn to
it because the epiphany is happening as the
unconscious is being ferried across to your
conscious mind--but unconsciously!
One of my own encounters with good art has
stayed with me for many years. On one of my
2
first speaking trips in the mid-seventies, I went
by myself to the St. Louis Art Museum where
they had an extended exhibit of Monet’s
water lilies. I went from room to room and
found myself getting quieter and happier,
and when I walked out into the sunshine, I
felt I floated home! Now, I don’t know that
I had a new piece of doctrinal information
or theological insight, but the experience
connected to something deep and true within.
I believe that’s what good art, poetry,
and mythology do. They tell you, without
you knowing it, that life is not just a
series of isolated, meaningless events, as
postmodernism sees reality. The great truths-when they can be visualized in images--reveal
to you the deep patterns, and tell you that
you are a part of the course of history and
all humanity. That deeply heals you. It is less
informational than transformational. And
it largely happens beneath your conscious
awareness that it is even happening. You only
see the fruits later. [2]
Jung also believed that God speaks through
dreams. Dreams can bring the unconscious
into the conscious because the ego’s defenses
are down when you are sleeping. Truth that
might seem threatening to your ego when
it’s awake, and therefore not be allowed in,
can slip undetected into your dreams. In
Jung’s words, “Myths which day has forgotten
continue to be told at night.” [3]
I hope you will now have permission to trust
good art and “great dreams” (not all are) as
messages being lifted from the unconscious,
and not just your personal unconscious but
the Great Collective where all things are one
and shared. If I ever write, preach, or teach
anything well, I am always drawing from that
broader field and deeper well, and that is why
I must honestly say, “I did not do it. It is not
my idea.”
Gateway to Silence
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who
you truly are.”

Keep Being Catholics in
Action!
By: Tim Liston
At a recent meeting, I
was explaining the concept
of the home that we are
building for teen students
experiencing homelessness
in North Lawndale. In
Tim Liston
that conversation, the
prospective supporter said, “The Old St. Pat’s
community should be proud of themselves for
taking this on.”
It got me thinking about the word “pride” and
how often times it has negative connotations.
Even when I hit the Thesaurus button on the
word pride the results include arrogance,
smugness and vanity. Thank you, Microsoft
Word, but I respectfully disagree.
This notion reminds me of a lyric from an Avett
Brothers song (I’m a big music nerd, if you
didn’t already know that about me), where they
sing, “I wanna have pride like my mother has,
and not like the kind in the Bible that turns you
bad.” I love that line. Not because this line has a
direct connection to the Bible, and not because
I think we should pat ourselves on the back, but
because it explains that sometimes we should
evaluate what we’re doing in life and celebrate
the good around us.
It gets said in different ways, but if you listen to
the news enough you might just think this world
has no good left to offer. Well, being the eternal
optimist that I am, I still think there’s a lot of
good out there, and the Old St. Pat’s community
is a great source of social action, compassion
for others and community building. I’m proud to
call myself a member of this church.
I’m also proud that we embarked on a capital
campaign (and succeeded on the goal!), in
which one of the three priorities focused
attention on the most vulnerable among us
trying to finish their high school education. We
have narrowed down our property search to two
sites, and will be making a decision on the new
3
home very soon – stay tuned!
• How cool is it that we had eighty eight
runners lace up for the Chicago Marathon
this past Sunday after months of training, all
to help our partner outreach organizations?!
We can’t thank the runners and supporters
enough for your selflessness and hard work.
*Special congratulations to our very own
Chris Lawrence who finished his first ever
marathon!
• On Wednesday we teamed up with several
other social justice groups throughout
Chicago to march in demonstration of the
need for legislation and policy to address
the urgency of climate change – Old St. Pat’s
was the starting point for the rally.
• Just today on this campus we have
something going for: our Partners religious
education (young children), our Foundations
ministry (teens), our OSP Next group (young
adults) and a special event to bring our
West Loop neighbors (all ages) to come
meet our community over some donuts.
Speaking of which…DONUTS!!!
[Side note: Please come join us today from Noon
until 3:30 p.m. across the street at Heritage
Green Park for our inaugural Donut Fest!
We have activities for all ages, and of course
donuts! If you’re new please introduce yourself
to one of our staff or ministry members.]
So I say all of this because I think we should
have a healthy amount of “good pride” for being
a part of a place that lives out its faith in so
many different ways. I am proud and grateful to
know so many of you and the work that you do,
and I thank you for your spirit!
With that said, let’s not rest on our laurels. Let’s
keep being Catholics in action!

Since we are blessed to have so many
families involved in the Partners Religious
Education program and at our liturgies,
the 9:30 a.m. Masses on these Sundays
(Church and Hall) tend to be a bit
fuller than others. If you’d like, on these
Sundays we encourage our members to
take the opportunity to explore different
Mass gatherings (7, 8 & 11:15 a.m. and
5 & 8 p.m.)! It is a great way to get to

In a presentation illustrated with images, historian Ellen Skerrett will discuss how and
why the Chicago Irish used church-building to define themselves and their place in the
city. Foolhardy or faithful? At a time when parish and school closings have become
commonplace, Skerrett’s research addresses the question: “Did the bricks and mortar
matter?”
Ellen Skerrett, an historian of Chicago and its neighborhoods, edited At the
Crossroads: Old Saint Patrick’s and the Chicago Irish and wrote the first published
history of Loyola University Chicago. She is the Chicago-based researcher for the Jane
Addams Papers Project. Together with Mary Lesch, Skerrett edited and annotated the
memoir of Francis O’Neill, the legendary Chicago police captain who “saved” Irish
music.

From its beginnings in the late
1960’s, liberation theology has been
controversial. Rejected by some
as Marxism in a Christian disguise,
embraced by others as the heart of the
Gospel for our times, no one seems
neutral about it. We will survey its
emergence in the U.S. and Latin America,
examine its main themes, evaluate both
the pro and con arguments, and explore
its importance for the Church today.

An Inspiring Celebration
On Saturday, October 3, a delegation of 15
Old St. Pat’s members attended the 133rd
Annual Membership Assembly for Community
Renewal Society (CRS). We celebrated our first
full year as a member congregation in this
coalition and honored all the great work we
have accomplished, including: establishing a
restorative justice fund for the Cook County
budget; creating a Restorative Justice
diversion program with Chief Judge Evans;
gaining momentum to remove absolute bars
to employment for folks with records in IL;
and working towards a Community Benefits
Agreement for the Gateway Development
Project on the Westside. We were also excited
to see Fr. Larry Dowling of St. Agatha in North
Lawndale nominated for the CRS Policy and
Organizing Committee. Congratulations to
all of us at Old St. Pat’s and all the churches
involved in CRS! We left the assembly inspired
to continue this work and engage more
members like you in making communities safe
places for individuals and families to flourish.
May the Spirit continue to move us as agents
of change and bold prophets of the Gospel.

The Feast of All Souls
All Souls and All Saints
What We Don’t Know about Ourselves
The Christian feasts of All Souls and All Saints hold up
a mirror for us. But it is quite different from the mirrors we use to inspect and adjust our physical images.
They show us something that often escapes our notice.
We may be more than we think and connected to one
another in ways we only dimly intuit. These audacious
feasts tell us we are souls and saints. But can we believe
them? Join Fr. Ed Foley and Jack Shea as we explore this
possibility.

About the Sara Center …
Sara Hill was someone who, very simply but profoundly,
affected the lives of many. For over twenty years Sara was
a life-giving woman to the people of Old St. Patrick’s. This
happened because of her own profound spirituality, her
devotion to Jesus, her prayer life, and her strength and
peace within. Sara was a woman of wisdom. With Sara,
people found the conversation they were looking for. She
would listen intently as they shared with her their personal
lives. Sara would respond and often connect them to people
she was sure would welcome them and continue the
conversation.
Dialoguing and networking were Sara’s gift to all who knew
her. The Sara Center at Old St. Patrick’s continues this
tradition, offering events on “things that matter” and
providing opportunities for people to dialogue and network.
Reservations: In order for us to provide you with our

Come join us at the
SOLIDARITY MARKET
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8
9 a.m. to 1 p.m. |Hughes Hall
Please join us as Hughes Hall is transformed
into an international market! More than
twenty-five different vendors will display
beautiful and unique products created by
artisans
from as far away as East Africa and Central
America to as near as the West Side of
Chicago.
While this “alternative market” offers us
a chance to get an early start on holiday
shopping, the Solidarity Market is so much
more than a holiday craft fair. The Solidarity
Market at Old St. Pat’s is another expression
of our desire for kinship along with our
desire to promote, whenever we are able, the
economic equity of our sisters and brothers
throughout the world.
14
Our Market vendors and exhibitors have been
selected because of their commitment to:
• fighting poverty and transforming lives
through job training and worker justice
• creating entrepreneurial opportunities for
people often denied access to markets
• being good stewards of the earth’s
resources
In addition to the special items our vendors
will have for sale, they will be delighted to
share with you the stories of the people they
work with, including their struggles and
successes. Please stop by Hughes Hall and
meet these remarkable people and learn
about their efforts to create a better world!
Refreshments, of course, will be served.

The Beloved Retreat Experience
2015-2016 Dates
Just the Beginning
You’re Invited
We’d like to invite you to a weekend of beginnings.
Whether you’re old or young (at heart), single or
married, religious or skeptic, hurt or healing, laid back or
caffeinated, you’ll fit right into our Beloved Retreat.
Founded in 1999, the Beloved Retreat offers you a community within Old
St. Pat’s and our Catholic Church. Our hope is that, together, we can
rediscover what often eludes us, but what God wants us to know: that you
are Beloved.
We offer a safe, open inclusive environment in a quite, pastoral setting
where you can explore your relationship with God and yourself.
Another Beginning
The Beloved Retreat doesn’t end with the weekend. After the retreat, you’ll
find another beginning. Regular Sunday Legacy meetings extend the
Beloved experience and deepen our roots as a community of believers.
In addition, you can join small prayer groups to spiritually grow and
deepen your personal faith and companionship
with others.

Hope Out of Darkness
“I was a stranger and you welcomed me..” (Matthew 25:35)
“View them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories…To respond in a way which is always humane, just
and fraternal. We need to avoid a common temptation nowadays: to discard whatever proves troublesome.”
-Pope Francis, Address to Congress, 09/24/2015
During this month of Respect Life, let us reflect on the words of Pope Francis who reminds us that, as Catholics, we have
the moral responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage including immigrants and refugees.

Mother Janet
Erskine Stuart:
Religious of the
Sacred heart
(1857-1914)
Janet
Erskine
Stuart, the daughter of an Anglican
minister was born in Cottesmore,
England. She converted to Catholicism
when she was twenty-one years old. The
following year she entered the Society
of the Sacred Heart in Roehampton
where she remained for the next thrity
years. After serving as superior of her
community, she became the Superior
General of the worldwide order that
operated schools for girls.
She exerted a wide influence through
her writing on spirituality and the
education of girls. She considered
education to be a deeply religious
calling – “fitting citizens for the
Kingdom of Heaven”. She loved
teaching and often reminded her
sisters, “It is not so much what we
say or do that educates; what really
educates is who we are.”
In books and talks she offered a
positive spiritual message that spoke
to an audience far beyond the convent:
“Remember that the source of
happiness is within ourselves. Nothing
outside can give it, even if you make
your circumstances ideal. Nothing can
take it away.”
She died on October 21, 1914 at the
age of fifty-six.
“Your life is a sacred journey. It is
about change, growth, discovery,
movement and transformation…
It is continuously expanding your
vision of what is possible, stretching
your soul, teaching you to see clearly
and deeply, helping to listen to your
intuition.”
-Mother Janet Erskine Stuart
