Madrano May 24, 2015 Pentecost Sunday Page Four EUCHARIST: Basic Ques ons on the Source and Summit of the Catholic Life What does the word Eucharist strictly mean? A. The word Eucharist strictly means pleasing, and this Sacrament is so called because it renders us most pleasing to God by the grace it imparts, and it gives us the best means of thanking Him for all His blessings. What is the Holy Eucharist? A. The Holy Eucharist is the Sacrament which contains the body and blood, soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ under the appearances of bread and wine What do we mean when we say the Sacrament which contains the Body and Blood? A. When we say the Sacrament which contains the Body and Blood, we mean the Sacrament which is the Body and Blood, for a er the Consecra on there is no other substance present in the Eucharist. When is the Holy Eucharist a Sacrament, and when is it a sacrifice? A. The Holy Eucharist is a Sacrament when we receive it in Holy Communion and when it remains in the Tabernacle of the Altar. It is a sacrifice when it is offered up at Mass by the separate Consecra on of the bread and wine, which signifies the separa on of Our Lord’s blood from His body when He died on the Cross. When did Christ ins tute the Holy Eucharist? Christ ins tuted the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper, the night before He died. What happened when our Lord said, “This is my body; this is my blood”? When Our Lord said, “This is my body,” the substance of the bread was changed into the substance of His body; when He said, “This is my blood,” the substance of the wine was changed into the substance of His blood. When did Christ give His priests the power to change bread and wine into His body and blood? Christ gave His priests the power to change bread and wine into His body and blood when He said to the Apostles, “Do this in commemora on of Me.” How do the priests exercise this power of changing bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ? The priests exercise this power of changing bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ through the words of consecra on in the Mass, which are words of Christ: “This is my body; this is my blood.” What is necessary to make a good Communion? To make a good Communion it is necessary to be in the state of sanc fying grace and to fast according to the laws of the Church. What should we do a er Holy Communion? A er Holy Communion we should spend some me in adoring Our Lord, in thanking Him for the grace we have received, and in asking Him for the blessings we need.

Page Nine Pentecost Sunday May 24, 2015 May 24, 2015 Pentecost Sunday PONIEDZIAŁEK, 25 MAJA — DZIEŃ PAMIĘCI NARODOWEJ (MEMORIAL DAY) Tradycja obchodów Memorial Day - Dnia Pamięci Narodowej w Stanach Zjednoczonych Ameryki, zrodziła się tuż po wojnie secesyjnej (Civil War 1861-65), w której armia Unii, czyli północnych Stanów, walczyła z Konfederatami z Południa. Początkowo święto nazywano Decora on Day, jako że najpopularniejszą formą honorowania pamięci poległych żołnierzy było ozdabianie kwiatami ich grobów. Jest głęboko ludzką potrzebą zachowanie we wdzięcznej pamięci wszystkich, którzy zginęli dla swego kraju i rodaków w walce, w imię ideałów wolności i niepodległości. Ta pamięć to część historii przekazywana z pokolenia na pokolenie, to zbiorowa świadomość tożsamości narodowej. W końcu XIX w. święto było już powszechnie znane pod nową nazwą - Memorial Day. Po I wojnie światowej obchody objęły również poległych wówczas żołnierzy, a następnie żołnierzy wszystkich wojen, w których uczestniczyły Stany Zjednoczone. W tym dniu w naszym kościele zostanie odprawiona tylko jedna Msza św. o godzinie 9:00 rano. Biuro Parafialne będzie NIECZYNNE. Page Ten MSZE ŚW. POLOWE NA CMENTARZACH KATOLICKICH ARCHIDIECEZJI CHICAGOWSKIEJ Poniedzialek 25 maja W tym dniu zostaną odprawione Msze święte polowe na wszystkich 37 cmentarzach katolickich Archidiecezji chicagowskiej o godz. 10:30 rano. Celebransami Mszy św. będą m.in. Arcybiskup Chicago Blase Cupich, Biskupi Pomocniczy Chicago oraz proboszczowie różnorakich parafii. Szczególowa lista cmentarzy, adresów oraz godzin Mszy świętych wraz z nazwiskami celebransow mszy św. znajduje sie na stronie internetowej cmentarzy katolickich pod adresem: www.catholiccemeterieschicago.org May 24, 2015 Pentecost Sunday Page Eleven MSZA ŚW. O BEATYFIKACJĘ SŁUGI BOŻEGO STEFANA KARDYNAŁA WYSZYŃSKIEGO Klub Dobrego Pasterza w Parafii św. Ferdynanda zaprasza do wspólnej modlitwy o beatyfikację Sługi Bożego Stefana Kardynała Wyszyńskiego podczas Mszy świętych w niedzielę 31 maja na każdej Mszy św. w j. polskim o godz. 7:00 i 10:15 rano oraz o 3:00 i 7:00 wieczorem Organizacje parafialne i Polską Sobotnią Szkołę zapraszamy serdecznie do udziału w uroczystej procesji na rozpoczęcie i zakończenie Mszy świętej o godz. 10:15 rano. Prosimy o zabranie sztandarów. Po mszach św. u marszałków i członków Klubu Dobrego z emblematami Stefana Kardynała Wyszyńskiego będzie mozna złożyć wolne datki na Dom Pamięci Stefana Kardynała Wyszyńskiego w Częstochowie. „Człowiek nie rozwinie w pełni swojego człowieczeństwa i swojej osobowości, jeśli będzie tyko myślał dobrze i pragnął dobrze, a nie będzie czynił dobrze” MODLITWA O BEATYFIKACJĘ STEFANA KARDYNAŁA WYSZYŃSKIEGO PRYMASA TYSIĄCLECIA(1901—1981) B oże w Trójcy Świętej Jedyny, Ty w swojej niewypowiedzianej dobroci powołujesz ciągle nowych apostołów, aby przybliżali światu Twoją Miłość. Bądź uwielbiony za to, że dałeś nam opatrznościowego Pasterza Stefana Kardynała Wyszyńskiego, Prymasa Tysiąclecia. Boże, źródło wszelkiej świętości, spraw, prosimy Cię, aby Kościół zaliczył go do grona swoich świętych. Wejrzyj na jego heroiczną wiarę, całkowite oddanie się Tobie, na jego męstwo wobec przeciwności i prześladowań, które znosił dla Imienia Twego. Pomnij, jak bardzo umiłował Kościół Twojego Syna, jak wiernie kochał Ojczyznę i każdego człowieka, broniąc jego godności i praw, przebaczając wrogom, zło dobrem zwyciężając. Otocz chwałą wiernego Sługę Twojego Stefana Kardynała, który wszystko postawił na Maryję i Jej zawierzył bez granic, u Niej szukając pomocy w obronie wiary Chrystusowej i wolności Narodu. Ojcze nieskończenie dobry, uczyń go orędownikiem naszych spraw przed Tobą. Amen. Pokornie Cię błagam, Boże, udziel mi za wstawennictwem Stefana Kardynała Wyszynskiego tej łaski, o którą Cię teraz szczególnie proszę... Szanowny Księże Proboszczu, Szanowny Panie Prezesie, Pragniemy serdecznie podziękować za wsparcie kwotą $1,300 dzieła Domu Pamięci Stefana Kardynała Wyszyńskiego w Częstochowie. Jesteśmy wzruszeni wiernością parafian kościoła św. Ferdynanda i członków Klubu Dobrego Pasterza corocznej modlitwie w intencji beatyfikacji Sługi Bożego Stefana Kardynała Wyszyńskiego. W naszym Domu kontynuujemy prace nad spuścizną po Prymasie Tysiąclecia przede wszystkim nad Jego tekstami jak również zajmujemy sie digitalizacją taśm nagranych podczas spotkań z wiernymi. Przygotowujemy pielgrzymów i osoby zainteresowane postacią Ks. Prymasa Wyszyńskiego. Jak co roku odbyła się pielgrzymka szkół, które noszą imię Prymasa Tysiąclecia. W tym roku przybyło na nią ok. 1200 przedstawicieli. Niecodziennym jednak wydarzeniem była premiera filmu 30 listopada na Jasnej Górzez „Spełniona w Maryi”. Jest to film dokumentalny o Marii Okońskiej, współzałożycielce Instytutu Prymasa Wyszyńskiego , która była wiernym współpracownikiem w dziełach maryjnych Sługi Bożego Prymasa Wyszyńskiego. Film ten wyreżyserował i scenariusz napisał p. Paweł Woldan, a muzykę skomponował p. Michał Lorenc. Film ten trafił w świątecznym numerze katolickiego tygodnika „Niedziela” do 170 tys. Czytelników. Film ten mógł powstać dzięki staraniom Domu Pamięci Stefana Kardynała Wyszyńskiego, a więc również dzięki wsparciu Państwa. Serdecznie raz jeszcze dziękujemy za pomoc i pragniemy zapewnić członków Klubu Dobrego Pasterza i wszystkich Państwa, którym postać Księdza Prymasa jest bliska, o naszej modlitwie u Matki Bożej Jasnogórskiej. Szczęść Boże, Wiole a A. Kołodyńska— Dyrektor Domu Pamięci Stefana kardynał Wyszyńskiego w Częstochowie May 24, 2015 Pentecost Sunday Page Twelve May 24, 2015 Pentecost Sunday Page Thirteen ON PENTECOST, AND PLAYING WITH FIRE Copyright 2015 by John B. Reynolds ([email protected]) I remember thinking when I was a kid that the Holy Spirit got the short end of the s ck in the whole Trinity thing. God the Father is God the Father, a er all, and Jesus changed water into wine and calmed the stormy seas and took the nails for us in keeping with the great plan of salva on. But the Holy Spirit? Or if you have a few years behind you--as I do--the Holy Ghost? Kind of a shadowy character, the Spirit. But I mean that in only good ways. When commissioning his friends in Ma hew’s Gospel, Jesus directs them to make disciples of all na ons, “bap zing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” Nice. But, it doesn’t tell us anything about this Spirit en ty. Jesus speaking in the Evangelist John’s Gospel clarifies be er for me the Spirit’s essence. He does so mul ple mes, in fact. At the Last Supper, Jesus tells his disciples, “The Advocate, the Holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name—he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.” In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells his friends a li le more, saying, “When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he will tes fy to me.” And then Jesus speaks a third me to his disciples about the Spirit, this me just before going to the garden: “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth…” I’m no Scripture scholar, but perhaps even the Scripture scholars have trouble when it comes to the Spirit. “He will teach you everything.” “He will tes fy to me.” “When he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth...” The Spirit certainly sounds like a person. But does “he” exactly define the Spirit as a person, even though we recognize him as the third person of the Trinity? Listen to Peter in Acts as he quotes the prophet Joel: “‘It will come to pass in the last days,’ God says, ‘that I will pour out a por on of my spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams…’’ Here the Spirit sounds less like a person and more like a force. The breath of God, perhaps? The Spirit is o en represented by images of fire. When we have passion for something, we are said to be on fire, just like the disciples’ hearts were burning within them as Jesus spoke to them on the way to Emmaus. And in today’s first reading, we hear of the Spirit coming to the disciples: “Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.” Older (and wiser?) now, I don’t think the Spirit gets the short end of the s ck anymore. He doesn’t in my book, anyway. I’m a total fan. “I have come to set the earth on fire,” Jesus says about halfway through Luke’s Gospel, “and how I wish it were already blazing!” Veni, Sancte Spiritus.
