Second Sunday of Easter March 3, 2016 I admittedly enjoy some of the lull after the big high holy days of our Tradition. I’ve joked with people that my two favorite days Fr. Tom Hurley on the calendar are December 26 and the Monday following Easter Sunday! We are closed here in the Church office and it feels good just to “chill out”, if I can use some modern parlance! On most Mondays I head south to spend some time with my folks and this past Monday was no different. Rather than staying in for dinner, we made our way to one of our usual hot spots on Western Avenue in the Beverly neighborhood to grab dinner, Ken's! It’s not only a neighborhood favorite, it’s also where you can see the neighborhood! Literally! It’s like walking in to the bar (The Bull & Finch in Boston) on the old tv series, Cheers: where everybody knows your name! Almost every time we walk into this very small restaurant, there will be a familiar face, a fellow parishioner, or just one of the characters known to the neighborhood. Last Monday was no different. The first person I saw as I walked into the restaurant was Fr. Charlie Rubey, dining with an old buddy of his from Beverly. Charlie is one of the finest priests in the Catholic world. Having worked for many years serving with Catholic Charities (and he still does today, past retirement age by the way!) Charlie is most well known for his compassionate companioning with families who have suffered the loss of a loved one through suicide. In parish life, whenever the horrible tragedy of suicide affects a family or community, it seems everyone’s first reaction is: let’s call Charlie. I have called him on a number of occasions, both for advice and pastoral help. His kindness, wisdom and pastoral style are superb. Enough good things cannot be said about Charlie’s critical and significant contributions to the life of Catholic Charities, the L.O.S.S. program, and the hope he has brought to those who grieve with such deep sorrow and confusion. Another face I saw after walking into Ken’s was a mom. She was seated on the other side of the restaurant in the bar area. Because I have to assist my dad whose mobility these days is not great, I only catch her eye and offer a quick smile and a head nod. Sadly, when I was assigned to parish life on the south side many years ago, I presided over the funeral of her son who died suddenly as a senior 2 in college. The sadness for them lingers in my heart. Our families know each other and whenever my mom and this woman see each other, their embrace lasts longer than a quick hello and it communicates a solidarity like no other. You see, these are more than just neighbors: these are mothers who have lost adult children and both know the stinging pain of loss. Often this other mom has asked me throughout the years, "How did your mom do it? How did she survive such sadness?" In an article I read this week by the late Walter Burghardt SJ, he reflects on the Resurrection. In so many words, Burghardt suggests that Jesus rose for every human being, for the whole family of God. He rose for every human life…and for those yet to come. As Jesus rose for us, Burghardt writes, so this means that we as a Christian people are called to help each other rise to new and renewed life in Christ. It’s not just enough to celebrate Jesus who rose from the dead, but rather our belief in the Resurrection means that we have to help each other rise to new life as well! As Jesus shared in our humanity: our sufferings, our losses, our disappointments…so too does the Risen One share in our re-building, our renewal, and our finding new Hope. But we have to commit ourselves to living the Resurrection together. We can’t do this on our own. Charlie’s ministry reminds me of what the Resurrection is all about. We have to walk with those who grieve and who find themselves in such vulnerability. We have to bring Hope to each other. Seeing my mom and this mother embrace reminds me that Easter is about helping each other rise from suffering. We can‘t do this on our own. God raised Jesus from the dead so that we might share in new life. May our Easter call as Christians remind us of who are all called to be as participants in the Resurrection. Easter Hope to all of you, Father Tom Hurley Pastor P.S. You can find me on Twitter and Instagram @TomHurleyOSP Visit our website at www.oldstpats.org. Follow Old St. Pat’s on: A wakenings Easter is the Celebration of Light and Mercy By: Tim Liston What a month of March! It's hard to believe that St. Patrick's Day was only two weeks ago - it seems like its been months. As many of you participated with us throughout this Holy Week, you saw the beautiful expressions of this Gospel lived out within our community. What I find particularly moving is all the uses of fire and water in our Catholic tradition. Fire often represents light and hope, but it also represents the burning away (like those of our palms to ashes) the dead to begin anew. Much like a farmer does a prescribed burn of his field to create the opportunity for new growth, so too do we need to clear out some of our "personal brush". Water (like that which was used to baptize our new Catholics on Holy Saturday and to wash our feet on Holy Thursday) represents life and rebirth. There's a reason that we need to recall our own baptism so often because that is the reminder of our own rebirth of faith. I find that in this Easter season and the beginning of our natural turn to Spring, we are invited to clear the old deadwood, splash some proverbial water onto our hearts and make room to start again. Personally, I plan to burn away some of my couch time to make more room for walking and exercising. I also need to give a rinse to clear away my impatience, and I need to allow for more understanding and restraint to grow. I need to quite literally make room for an addition to our family, but more importantly I hope that this new life will help to soften some of my edges and wash me with new love and hope in my life. Maybe its because these articles are referred to as Awakenings and its spring, but for whatever reason, the notion of Spring Awakening kept coming to mind (side note: this is NOT in relation to the terrible EDM music festival held every year in Chicago). Perhaps we all need a "spring awakening" during this Easter season. This year, we have plenty of opportunities to hopefully do just that. If you're looking for a personal challenge of body, mind and soul, and you're looking to meet new people working for the same goal. And if you want to succeed 3 in this goal all while helping to support some of the wonderful partner organizations of Old St. Pat's, maybe joining Crossroads Runners is your Spring Awakening. If you're looking to hit the pause button on your often hectic life, and you want to share an experience of personal reflection and growth with others. And if you want to refine and "re-find" yourself all within the beautiful greenery of St. Mary of the Lake, then maybe participating in the upcoming Beloved retreat is your Spring Awakening. If you're a young adult looking to be surrounded by the energy and joy of teens looking to give back to the world around them, and you think you could use a refresh with your own inner youth. And if you have time to devote to the spiritual development of yourself and others, maybe becoming a Foundations leader is your Spring Awakening. However you find the Spirit calling you, and in whatever way you feel that you can benefit from a rebirth, we encourage you to pursue that call. We know that sometimes it can seem intimidating to jump right in, but we have a friendly staff hoping that you will connect with us to get more involved. Please flip to the back pages of our staff directory to find the right contact. In other Old St. Pat's news, we are doing a bit of spring awakening ourselves in a couple of ways: As you may know, we're in the midst of creating a strategic plan for our mission to continue to make this experience of church the best we can. We want to boldly dream of how we can renew, and how we can act on these plans. You will be hearing from Fr. Hurley, our staff and the board of advisors on how you can get more involved. We have also been doing some serious spring cleaning of our rectory to begin the construction work for our new community center. We will begin work the week of April 18, so please pardon our dust while we are in this exciting time of rebuilding. Lastly, (as a selfish plug) we will be announcing the headliners of our World's Largest Block Party next week, but until then please mark your calendar for Saturday, June 25. It's going to be another great year with summer fun and great music! Tim Liston is the Business Manager at Old St. Patrick's Church. Visit our website at www.oldstpats.org.

Be The Match Hughes Hall Sunday, April 10 from 6:30-8 p.m. 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. 6 You Are Not Alone $5 suggested OSPNext Faith in Action committee invites the Old St. Pat's community to join us for an evening of food, fellowship, and the opportunity to register as a bone marrow donor with Be The Match (bethematch.org).

Follow Old St. Pat’s on: H oly W eek 2016 Holy Week 2016 After 40 days of praying, fasting, and giving to those in need, after 40 days of taking up anew the works of mercy, the night finally came, and we entered into our three-day celebration of love, of life, stronger than death: the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ. We took up bowls, took off shoes, knelt down with pitcher and towel, we kept watch, we listened and told again our sacred story. We lifted high the wood of the cross, we lifted up the needs of the world. We knelt, we kissed, we embraced Christ’s cross and those hung upon it in our age. Then on the seventh day, our second, we rested. Holy Saturday, the Great Sabbath, God asleep in a new garden tomb, and then a spark, a flame, a people ablaze: This is the light of Christ! You are the light of Christ! Christ is our Light! Thanks be to God! A new day, the first day, our third. Then the water bath and fragrant oil. Then the embrace, this kiss, new sisters and brothers born of water and Spirit: Oh, how many! This old old Church again a Mother! Take, eat! My body, for you! Take drink! My blood poured out for you! Now the age-old song: Alleluia! The coffee and the carriage rides. Triduum 2016. Thanks be to God, alleluia. Alleluia! 8 Visit our website at www.oldstpats.org.

Follow Old St. Pat’s on: E aster 2016 Easter, Liturgy, and Life “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nail-marks, I will not believe.” John 20:25 Probe My Wounds Ralph Ellison begins Invisible Man, his novel about racism, saying, “I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fibre and liquids—I am invisible simply because people refuse to see me.” By the novel’s end, the narrator, whose name we never learn, comes to know that he is not invisible. Those who refuse to see him are blind: “And now all past humiliations become precious parts of my experience, and for the first time, leaning against that stone wall in the sweltering night, I began to accept my past and, as I accepted it, I felt memories welling up within me. . . . Images of past humiliations flickered through my head and I saw that they were more than separate experiences. They were me. And no blind men, no matter how powerful they become, even if they conquered the world, could take that, or change one single itch, taunt, laugh, cry, scar, ache, rage or pain of it.” Think back to the Passion we proclaimed two weeks ago, of Christ’s being beaten and brutalized. Now think of the Risen Christ, inviting us to touch his holy scars. Our Scars Made Holy Preaching some 1620 years ago, the North African bishop Augustine asked, “Could not the Lord have risen with a body from which all marks of the wounds had been erased? No doubt! But he knew that we bear within our hearts a wound so deep that the only way to heal it was to retain the scars of his own wounds in his body. And when that confession, ‘My Lord and my God,’ was uttered, what was Christ’s answer? ‘Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believed.’ And who, my brothers and sisters, are those if not ourselves and those who come after us?” Holy Water Sunday Mass during the Easter Season here at Old St. Patrick’s begins with us all being sprinkled amply with holy water from our lovely stone font, water blessed at the Easter Vigil and poured lovingly over ten new followers of Jesus that night, not to mention some 60 infants in the coming weeks! “God of life, source of all faith,” we prayed today, “through the waters of baptism you have raised us up in Jesus and given us life that endures.” We touch that water, sometimes hurriedly, 11 sometimes deliberately, always carefully, whenever we come in and go out of this holy place, week in and week out. But during these 50 joyous days, we take up that water and cast it overhead so that it descends like a gentle spring rain. At the Easter Vigil, Emily Watson read from Isaiah: “For just as from the heavens, the rain and snow come down and do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows, and bread to the one who eats, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth.” And “All you who are thirsty, come to the water! Heed me, and you shall eat well. Listen, that you may have life.” What better could we do to ready ourselves to hear God’s word and share in Christ’s eucharist? Family History The first reading each Sunday of Easter is from the Acts of the Apostles, the book that details the birth and growth of the community of disciples of the Risen Christ who change their world. Why? This is the story of the people into which we baptized (literally “plunged”) Taylor, Jennifer Clare, Alycia Laura, Matthew, Angela Marianne, Tracey Sebastian, Joanne Peter, Stephanie, AJ, and Kristina on Easter Eve. It is the story of the community to which Allen, Joshua Martin de Porres, Heather Helena, Michelle Patricia, Kirstin, Calvin Joseph, Allison, Phillip, Kyle Patrick, Ryan Bernard, Scott Vincent Ferrer, Henry Andrew, Anne Teresa, Kristen Francis, and Betty Angela already belonged, having been baptized in other Christian traditions, and who have come to live now as Catholics with us. Acts is the story in which Wayne Ignatius, Frances Julia, Raul Miguel Pro, Justine Martin de Porres, Brian, Victoria, Ivan Jude, Victor, Ashley Elizabeth Ann and Marko, baptized Catholic as infants, find their confirmed place within. The Acts of the Apostles is our family history. We read it, Verna Holyhead says, to know “the Church as the witness to the new things that God does in the Risen Christ who is present in this Church through the Spirit. Every Christian community belongs to the lineage of the faithful witnesses we meet in Acts, and we are called every day, everywhere, to live what we hear.” Visit our website at www.oldstpats.org.

Paying attention was the part of my lifeguard training that most resonated with me. As the years went by and I became a Supervisor, I loved giving training lectures about the profound (perhaps sacred?) responsibilities of being a lifeguard – and I was particularly energized by telling stories about the importance of paying attention – asking these young lifeguards to imagine being the Mom or Dad who sends their kids off for a day at the pool or beach, entrusting that they will be cared for because someone was paying attention. I would ask them to think about the trust that they would put in a lifeguard to care for the life of their own child – or their sibling – someone they loved. Paying attention meant protecting lives. Be astonished … I fell in love with Old St. Pat’s back in 1990, when I first came here to get married. I soon realized that I was drawn here for so much more. The OSP and Beloved Retreat communities helped me celebrate the richness and many joys of life. The OSP Partners Program formed my spiritual life as a parent and meeting with a Spiritual Director fed my fascination with recognizing and paying attention to the movement of God in my life. As I began to understand and embrace my own spiritual growth, even in the difficult experiences of divorce and vocational change, the communities of OSP helped me to navigate to new life. Tell about it … Having someone to share my stories with and to walk with me has made all the difference. In and through spiritual direction, I began to listen and pay attention for where God bubbles up in my life and noticed my deepest desires; I took risks and discovered new paths. Now, in my college classrooms (someplace I never imagined I would be in my beach days) I encourage my students to pay attention to what their lives are telling them. About 6 years ago, I attended a graduate program at Loyola University to become a spiritual director – and it has been such an honor to be present to others and to companion them as they pay attention and listen for that inner movement in their own spiritual lives. Could this Easter season be calling you to pay attention to the movement of spirit in your life? Is now your time to … as Mary Oliver says, “pay attention, be astonished, tell about it?” If you would like to explore your inner life with a compassionate companion, please contact Tammy Roeder at [email protected], 312-798-2350 to learn more about the ministry of spiritual direction at Old St Pat’s.

Thursday, April 14, 2016 “How to Change Minds About Our Changing Climate” with Doug Sisterson and Seth Darling Climate researchers conclude that the Earth has warmed by about 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880. Even though this number may sound low, it is an average over the surface of the entire planet, and it is actually quite high. This seemingly small increase in global warming explains why much of the land ice on the planet is starting to melt and the oceans are rising at an accelerating pace. Our program will focus on the science-based evidence of climate disruption and provide energy alternatives that would significantly reduce the world-wide dependence on the burning of fossil fuels. West: The Well Spirituality Center 1515 W. Ogden Ave. LaGrange Park, Illinois | 708.482.5048 Coordinators Kate Mulcahy [email protected] Monday, April 11, 2016 “Some Basic Presuppositions One Must Bring to a Fruitful" with Fr. Richard Grek, C. R. Believers read their Scriptures as Revelatory or Sacred texts. Hence the Bible needs to be read in faith. In as much as the reading skills we acquired in our youth are indispensable tools for reading any text, Bible included, these skills alone are not adequate. We’ll consider other skills we need to bring if we are to engage in a faithful reading of Scripture. Fr. Richard Grek, C. R., is an ordained member of the Congregation of the Resurrection, a religious community of vowed men, ordained and non-ordained. After seminary studies and ordination, Fr. Grek was assigned to teach at Archbishop Joseph Weber High School on the northwest side of Chicago. Soon after, he was assigned to parish ministry in parishes across the United States. In 1992, Fr. Grek took on the ministry of chaplain at Resurrection Center Retreat House in Woodstock, IL. In 2009, he became the parochial vicar for Mary Seat of Wisdom Parish in Park Ridge. In January, 2016, Fr. Grek retired to the Resurrectionist community house in Chicago. North: Sisters of the Resurrection Immaculate Conception Provincial House 7432 W.

Follow Old St. Pat’s on: C ommunity L ife We are very excited that Tom McGrath of Loyola Press will be with us on Sunday, April 17th in the School Gym after the 9:30 mass to talk about the making of DEAR POPE FRANCIS, a collection of letters from children and the Pope’s responses. Sunday, April 17 In the School Gym After 9:30 a.m. Mass On Sunday, April 17 Tom McGrath, Director of Trade Books at Loyola Press, will tell the fascinating “story behind the storybook,” about the making of the best-selling Dear Pope Francis: Pope Francis Answers the Questions of Children Around the World. Tom will guide us through the story from the initial idea for the book, how he found a way to get the idea before Pope Francis (who offered a quick and enthusiastic “SI!”), and how his team enlisted the help of dozens of Jesuits and their lay associates in countries from Australia to Zimbabwe to gather unfiltered questions from children aged 6 – 13. He’ll tell the details of the excruciatingly difficult task of deciding which letters would be chosen among the hundreds gathered to be presented to the Pope—each in three languages (Italian, Spanish, and English). Encore Cafe Sunday, April 24, 2016 More an experience than a place, the Encore Cafe brings together interesting people for a good meal, great conversation, and the best fellowship! 7 Keys to a Successful Retirement Portfolio Plan Given the volatile global stock market environment, today’s low yields, and the ebbing away of pensions in the private sector, it has never been more challenging to create a sturdy financial plan for retirement.

She’ll also share some model portfolios populated with Morningstar’s highconviction mutual fund and exchange-traded fund picks. Ms. Benz is a best-selling author and is widely quoted in the media, including the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Marketwatch, and has been a frequent guest on CNBC, PBS’ Nightly Business Report, and Fox Business News.

She showed special kindness to Christian prisoners and would carry bread hidden in her clothes to feed them. Once she was stopped by Muslim soldiers and asked to reveal what she was carrying in her skirt. When she began to show them, the bread turned into a bouquet of roses. While still a young woman, Casilda became ill, but she refused help from the local Muslim doctors. She traveled to northern Iberia to partake of the healing waters of the shrine of San Vicente, near Buezo. She was cured, and was baptized at Burgos (where she was later much venerated). She lived a life of solitude and penance not far from the miraculous spring. It is said that she lived to be a hundred years old, falling asleep in the Lord in 1050.
