“Now, once for all he has appeared at the end of the ages,
to take away sin by his sacrifice……
after the judgment, Christ, offered once to take away the sins of many,
will appear a second time, not to take away sin, but to bring salvation
to those who eagerly await him”

From Your Pastor
Rev. Paul C. Burak
This weekend we are celebrating our parish second grade First Communions.
What innocence, what trust, what excitement these young people show.
How sad that we all get so grown-up that we lose so much of what we thought and
felt on the day of each of our First Communion. May we find again some of that
awe and wonder.
God bless these First Communicants, their parents and their teachers and
catechists. These First Communion Masses are the highlight of my priesthood.
What an honor to be pastor to all these relationships with Jesus.
This weekend we also celebrate Mother’s Day. Take the time to thank your Mom
for being your Mom, and don’t forget to also thank your Spiritual Mother – the
Blessed Virgin Mary.
One of the best ways to honor Mary is to sign up for Adoration for an hour with
her Son. Please call Tom Wrobel (708-269-7898) or the parish office and leave
your name and phone number. We need to have all the hours covered so we can
begin our Adoration Chapel in June.
Finally, last weekend we celebrated the 25th anniversary of ordination to diaconate
for Mike McDonough.
THANK YOU MIKE AND DONNA FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SERVICE
YOU HAVE SHARED WITH US THESE PAST 25 YEARS. WE ARE A
BETTER PARISH BECAUSE YOU ARE PART OF US. MAY GOD
RETURN A HUNDREDFOLD TO YOUR FAMILY ALL THE LOVE YOU
HAVE GIVEN TO OUR PARISH FAMILY.
YOU HAVE MADE A PROFOUND DIFFERENCE TO OUR LIVES AND
FOR THAT WE PRAISE AND GLORIFY OUR GOD FOR THE GIFT YOU
ARE TO US.

Jubilee Year of Merc
May 8, 2016
Ascension of our Lord
As the liturgical year—and
this Jubilee Year of Mercy—unfold,
we reflect on what Jesus’
ascension meant for the first
disciples and means now for us.
Stay in Jerusalem, Jesus had
instructed, awaiting “the promise of the Father. In
a few days you will be baptized with the Holy
Spirit. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,
throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of
the earth” (Acts 1:4–5, 8). Despite Jesus’ absence,
they wait “with great joy . . . continually in the
temple praising God” (Luke 24:52–53). But as we
join them, waiting and worshiping, the enduring
challenge—theirs and ours—is delivered by “two
men in white” (Acts 1:10). In every age, disciples
must stop looking at the sky, head down the
mountain, and go back into the world,
“commissioned,” says Pope Francis, “to announce
the mercy of God, the beating heart of the Gospel,”
inviting everyone to find “in our parishes,
communities, associations and movements . . .
wherever there are Christians . . . an oasis of
mercy” (Misericordiae Vultus, 12).

PENTECOST NOVENA—
PRAYING FOR THE SPIRIT’S GIFTS
The gifts of the Holy Spirit help us live as faithful
Christians. These days before Pentecost we can pray for a
renewal of the gifts of the Holy Spirit we received at
baptism. According to one tradition, the disciples
gathered for the nine days between Jesus’ ascension and
the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. In imitation
of these days of prayer, Christians have fashioned the
novena, nine days of prayer for a specific purpose. The
original Novena was prayed from Ascension Thursday to
Pentecost. Below are nine scripture verses to guide your
reflection upon the gifts of the Holy Spirit as you pray
the Pentecost Novena.
A Mother's
Prayer
Day 1: Faith, Hope and Charity—Philippians 1:6
Day 2: Knowledge—Psalm 62:5
Day 3: Understanding—Isaiah 29:24
Day 4: Wisdom—Wisdom 7:15
Day 5: Fortitude—Psalm 27:14
Day 6: Reverence—Isaiah 29:23
Day 7: Counsel—Isaiah 30:21
Day 8: Awe (Fear of the Lord)—Isaiah 29:23
Day 9: Come Holy Spirit—John 14:26
Breathe in Me,
O Holy Spirit
Breathe in me,
O Holy Spirit,
that my thoughts may
all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
that my work, too,
may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,
that I may love only what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,
that I may defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,
that I always may be holy. Amen.
Happy Mothers’ Day to all who Love
Us With a Mother’s Love.

The Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima
Coming to St. Michael — Monday, May 23rd
Blessed John Paul II renewed the call to all of the Christian faithful to evangelize in the spirit of the Second
Vatican Council and Pope Paul VI. “No believer in Christ, no institution of the Church can avoid this supreme
duty: to proclaim Christ to all peoples.” Pope Benedict XVI renewed the Church’s call to the New
Evangelization. He called for the “re-proposing” of the Gospel to those regions “still awaiting a first
evangelization” and to those regions where the roots of Christianity are deep but that have experienced “a
serious crisis” of faith due to secularization. In keeping with the mission of the new evangelization, The Blue
Army of Our Lady of Fatima* is bringing her message to St. Michael Parish. It is a call to conversion and a
prayerful sanctification of souls that will bring peace to our hearts and our world. To underscore the
importance of the message of Fatima in today’s society, Pope Francis consecrated his papacy to Our Lady of
Fatima on her feast, May 13, 2013. On October 13th of that same year, he
consecrated the World to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
On May 23rd the Archdiocesan Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima
will arrive at St. Michael parish at 8 AM, beginning a day of prayer and
adoration. The statue was blessed by Bishop Venancio of Leira, Fatima,
then the International President of the Blue Army. It was also blessed by
Cardinal Josef Mindzenty. The statue was sent to Chicago in 1972 and
devotion in its presence has proven to be the catalyst for renewed interest
in the message of Fatima, while exposing new generations of Catholics to
the message and devotion to Our Lady.
The schedule for May 23rd in St. Michael Church:
8:00 AM Mass
Eucharistic Adoration throughout the Day
Rosary recited every hour of the Day
3:00 PM - The Divine Mercy Devotion
7:00 PM – Closing Benediction
On April 11, 2015, the Vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday, Francis stood
before the Holy Door in St. Peter's Basilica and announced an historic event: an extraordinary Jubilee Year of
Mercy, which opened on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception 12/8/15 and will run through the
Solemnity of Christ the King on November 20, 2016. "Jesus Christ is the face of the Father's mercy," Pope
Francis said. "Merciful like the Father" is the motto he chose for this Jubilee Year. Francis believes God’s
Mercy is the answer to evil. "Here, then, is the reason for the Jubilee: because this is the time for mercy. It is
the favorable time to heal wounds, a time not to be weary of meeting all those who are waiting to see and to
touch with their hands the signs of the closeness of God, a time to offer
everyone the way of forgiveness and reconciliation." On May 23rd,
praying with Our Lady of Fatima, our Popes, past and present, and St.
Faustina Kowalska, we, too will seek God’s Divine Mercy that will
bring conversion of hearts and peace to our world.
*The Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima, known as the World Apostolate of Fatima, is
an international association of Catholic faithful who have as their purpose "the
promotion of the authentic teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, adherence to the
tenets of the Gospel, the personal sanctification of adherents through faithful devotion
to the Message of Fatima and the promotion of the common good by spreading the
Message of Fatima.”

The Deacon's Bench
When a friend strongly recommended that we see a movie at the Marcus Theater,
God's Not Dead 2, we jumped on it because this person never steers us wrong.
Certainly, we were very pleased that we took him up on it. The theme of the movie is
exactly what the title suggests.
The main character, Grace Wesley, risks her teaching position to stand up for
what she truly believes: the right to say the name of Jesus in her Honors Social Studies
class in an historical frame of reference when asked a question about Jesus. The
student, Hayley, wishes to know about the resemblance of Gandhi and Martin Luther King's non-violence to
that of Jesus.
The school board determines that unless she apologize for "teaching religion in a public school," she would
receive the worst possible punishment, namely, being fired and having her teaching certificate revoked. If she
would adhere to their demands, she would be exonerated. This has an emotional impact that affects the entire
community. The line is drawn between her supporters and those who are not. She is not the only one willing
to sacrifice something for her strong position. So is a young Chinese man who becomes Christian and is
disowned by his non-Christian father as a result. Hayley's parents are part of the group demanding the
teacher's dismissal. They, themselves, are non-believers. Grace sees this an assault on God. For a while,
Hayley obeys her parents and does not speak to Ms. Wesley, but upon discovering her deceased brother's
bible with numerous personal notes in it, she begins to read it. Unbeknown to her, the brother she strongly
respected and loved had been a true believer all along despite his parents' inclinations. Feeling that this gives
her a strong message about his belief in God and what stance she should take, she then goes against her
parent's demands by openly supporting Ms. Wesley.
Interestingly enough, Tom Endler, the only lawyer willing to take on this seemingly impossible court case,
is himself a non-believer but is positively affected by the strength, courage and tenaciousness of this young
teacher.
Although this movie may not be in the local theaters anymore, we would highly recommend renting it for
you and your families to view together.

La Estatua de la Virgen Peregrina de Nuestra Señora de
Fátima
Viene a St. Michael – El Lunes, 23 de Mayo
Beato Juan Pablo II renueva el llamado a todo Cristiano creyente a evangelizar en el espíritu del Concejo
Vaticano Segundo y el Papa Paulo VI. “Ningún no creyente en Cristo, ni institución de la Iglesia puede evitar
este supremo deber: de proclamar a Cristo a todos”. El Papa Benedicto XVI renovó el llamado de la Iglesia a la
Nueva Evangelización, Él hizo el llamado a la “re-propuesta” del Evangelio a las regiones “aún esperando una
nueva Evangelización” y a las regiones donde las raíces de la Cristiandad son profundas pero que han
experimentado “una crisis seria” de la fe, debido a la secularización. Para mantener la misión de la nueva
evangelización, La Armada Azul de Nuestra Señora de Fátima nos trae su mensaje a la Parroquia de St.
Michael. Este es un llamado a la conversión y santificación de las almas por medio de la oración que traerá paz
a nuestro Corazón y al mundo. Para subrayar la importancia del mensaje de Fátima en la sociedad de hoy día,
el Papa Francisco consagró este papado a Nuestra Señora de Fátima en su fiesta del 13 de Mayo del 2013 El 13
de octubre del mismo año, él consagró al Mundo al Inmaculado Corazón de María.
El 23 de mayo, La Estatua Peregrina Arquidiocesana de Nuestra Señora de
Fátima llega a la parroquia de St. Michael a las 8:00 a.m., empezando con un día
de oración y adoración. La estatua fue bendecida por el Obispo Venancio de
Leira, en Fátima, luego por el Presidente Internacional de La Armada Azul.
También fue bendecida por El Cardenal Josef Minzenty. La estatua se envió a
Chicago en 1972 y la devoción en su presencia ha comprobado ser el catalizador
para un nuevo interés en el mensaje de Fátima, mientras se expone a nuevas
generaciones de católicos el mensaje y la devoción a Nuestra Señora.
El horario para el 23 de mayo en la Parroquia de St. Michael:
Misa a las 8:00 AM
Adoración Eucarística durante todo el día
Rezo del Rosario cada hora durante el día
3:00 PM – La Devoción a la Divina Misericordia
7:00 PM – Bendición Final
El 11 de abril del 2015, el Domingo de la Vigilia de la Divina Misericordia, Francisco se detuvo frente a la Puerta
Santa en la Basílica de San Pedro y anunció un evento histórico; un extraordinario Año de Jubileo a la Divina
Misericordia, que dio inicio en la Solemnidad de la Inmaculada Concepción, el 8 de diciembre del 2015 y
continuará hasta la Solemnidad de Cristo Rey, el 20 de Nov. del 2016.
“Jesucristo es el rostro de la Misericordia del Padre,” dijo el Papa Francisco. “Misericordioso como el Padre”
es el lema que eligió para este Año de Jubileo. Francisco creé que la Misericordia de Dios es la respuesta al
mal. “Entonces, esta es la razón para el Jubileo: porque este es el tiempo de misericordia. Es un tiempo
favorable para sanar heridas, un tiempo para no estar fatigados de conocer a todos los que esperan ver y tocar
con sus manos las señales del acercamiento a Dios, un tiempo para ofrecer a todos el camino al perdón y a la
reconciliación”. En mayo 23, oración con Nuestra Señora de Fátima, nuestros Papas, pasados y presentes,
Santa Faustina Kowalska, y nosotros, también, buscaremos la Misericordia de Dios que traerá la conversión
de corazones y paz a nuestro mundo.
*La Armada Azul de Nuestra Señora de Fátima, conocida como el Apostolado Mundial de Fátima, es una
asociación internacional de fieles católicos que tienen la intención “la promoción de la enseñanza autentíca de la Iglesia Católica
Romana, adherida a los principios del Evangelio, la santificación personal de adherentes por medio de la devoción al Mensaje de
Fátima y la promoción del interés común propagando el Mensaje de Fátima”.
