Syodia (chapel) December 7, 2014 Second Sunday of Advent Page Four DECEMBER 8 Solemnity of the Immaculate Concep on of the Blessed Virgin Mary Patronal Feastday of the United States of America Tomorrow the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Immaculate Concep on, the solemn dogma defined by Blessed Pope Pius IX in 1854. As Our Lady Immaculately Conceived is the patroness of the United States of America, this is a holy day of obliga on in the United States. Through the centuries the Church has become ever more aware that Mary, "full of grace" through God, was redeemed from the moment of her concep on. That is what the dogma of the Immaculate Concep on confesses, as Blessed Pope Pius IX proclaimed on December 8, 1854: "The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her concep on, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Saviour of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin." — Catechism of the Catholic Church Hail Mary, full of grace". For thousands of centuries, millions of mes per day the Virgin Mary is greeted by the faithful with the gree ng of the Archangel, that we hear resona ng anew in today’s Gospel. The sons of the Church learn from the words of the Archangel Gabriel that the fullness of the mystery of God’s grace was realized in Holy Mary. St Paul the Apostle teaches us that the Father made all fullness dwell in His Incarnate Son (c.f. Col 1:12-20), which overflows from Christ’s head and spills out on His Mys cal Body that is the Church. Before descending in Body, Christ’s fullness was spread in a unique and unrepeatable way on Mary, predes ned from eternity to be the Mother of God. Blessed Pope Pius IX on the 8th of December 1854 proclaimed the Dogma of the faith revealed by God that the Blessed Virgin Mary "in the first instant of her concep on, by a singular privilege and grace granted by God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the human race, was preserved exempt from all stain of original sin" (Denz.-Schonm, 2083). If the official proclama on of the dogma is rela vely recent, the profession of faith by Chris ans and the liturgy is very ancient in this regard. Furthermore, four years later the same Virgin Mary, appearing in Lourdes to St Bernade e, confirmed the truth of the doctrine by presen ng herself with the tle ‘I am the Immaculate Concep on’. Mary was Immaculate because she had to be the Mother of God. She, herself has received the original grace of purity and the final state of the blessed life that we also, by collabora ng with Divine Grace, hope one day to receive. Immaculate Mary is full of grace. She is not only Christ’s disciple, who with the help of grace has overcome the chains of sin, but she is to us Trinita s nobile triclinium, the noble res ng place of the Holy Trinity (St Thomas Aquinas, Exposito Saluta onis Angelicae, I). The Immaculate, full of grace, will always be Mother and Queen for that elect part of the Church that we hope one day to join, that will one day joyfully sing before the Almighty.

Cupich in Response to President Obama's Announcement of Relief for Immigrant Families November 26, 2014 In concert with my brother bishops throughout the United States, I want to extend my gra tude and support of the President’s recent announcement of administra ve relief for immigrant families, affec ng as many as 4.5 million of the current 12 million immigrant men, women and children who are now living among us. Since 2001, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and local Catholic groups have worked relessly in support of the immediate needs of immigrants, in support of families separated by deporta on. Priests for Jus ce for Immigrants, the Sisters and Brothers of Immigrants, Pastoral Migratoria, the Polish Immigrant to Immigrant Ministry, the Immigra on Parish Coordinators in non-immigrant congrega ons and dedicated people of faith from many parishes across the Archdiocese have worked relessly for these families. There have been prayerful and peaceful advocacy efforts to change the hearts and minds of legislators to repair our broken immigra on system. Many of our brothers and sisters from other faith tradi ons have also been working relessly, sharing in our common goal to alleviate suffering, dispel fear and to remove the barriers that prevent so many hard working men, women and their families from being able to pursue their God-given poten al and fully share their God-given gi s. This is a me for momentary celebra on, a me to give thanks for a first step toward immigra on reform for all of those who are being granted this relief. It is also a me to mobilize our communi es to assist in helping those affected by the President’s ac ons to realize the full benefit of what is being offered. Our Archdiocesan Office of Immigrant Affairs and Immigra on Educa on will be preparing parishioners to assist immigrants in our parishes and surrounding communies in this process. However, we must not forget that there are millions of people le out of these recent relief decisions, s ll forced to live in the shadows. Therefore, we must con nue to support these efforts na onally and locally un l Comprehensive Compassionate Immigraon Reform is achieved for all. I pledge to con nue to work with my brother Bishops through the Catholic Conference of Illinois, and in our local Archdiocese, con nuing the long legacy of support of my predecessor, Cardinal George.

Page Nine Second Sunday of Advent December 7, 2014 PONIEDZIAŁEK—8 GRUDNIA UROCZYSTO ŚĆ NIEPOKALANEGO POCZĘCIA NAJŚWIĘTSZEJ MARYI PANNY Święto Obowiązkowe ościół katolicki 8 grudnia obchodzi uroczystość Niepokalanego Poczęcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny. Wydarzenie Niepokalanego Poczęcia Maryi jest zasługą specjalnej Bożej łaski. Tajemnica ta pokazuje szczególną rolę Maryi a także, że każdy z nas cieszy się Bożą pomocą w zadaniach, które Bóg stawia na drodze naszego życia. K Czym jest niepokalane poczęcie? Niepokalane poczęcie jest czymś innym od dziewiczego poczęcia Jezusa Chrystusa przez Maryję z Ducha Św. Boża interwencja w wypadku początku życia Maryi nie polegała na zastąpieniu działania rodziców, ale na ochronie jej duszy przed skutkami grzechu pierworodnego. Oczywiście Syn Boży w swoim człowieczeństwie również nie był dotknięty grzechem. Według wiary katolickiej każdy człowiek przychodzący na świat jest naznaczony grzechem pierworodnym. Grzech ten jest "przenoszony" wraz z przekazywaniem natury ludzkiej, która u Prarodziców, ze względu na ich nieufność i nieposłuszeństwo Bogu - o czym mówią pierwsze rozdziały Biblii - została pozbawiona pierwotnej świętości i sprawiedliwości. Grzech pierworodny - jak wyjaśnia Katechizm Kościoła Katolickiego (nr 404) - nie jest popełniany lecz zaciągany, nie jest aktem ale stanem, w jakim poczyna się człowiek. Z grzechu pierworodnego uwalnia człowieka dopiero chrzest święty. Wolność od grzechu i doskonałość nie sprawia, że Maryja staje się daleka ludziom. Wręcz przeciwnie, Jej wspólnota z każdym człowiekiem jest nieporównywalna z niczym, ponieważ to co ludzi dzieli, co oddala ich od siebie, to przede wszystkim wyrastający z grzechu egoizm, którego w Maryi nie było. Dlatego jest Ona Matką nie tylko kochającą, ale też rozumiejącą i współczującą. Prawda o niepokalanym poczęciu jest również dla wszystkich chrześcijan znakiem ukazującym, jak wielkie rzeczy Bóg może zdziałać w człowieku, i jakie ma plany wobec każdego: doprowadzić do pełni człowieczeństwa i świętości. 13 grudnia (sobota) – Polska Katolicka Szkoła św.

ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO Oswiadczenie Arcybiskupa Blazeja Cupicha w odpowiedzi na Administracyjny Akt Pomocy dla Rodzin Imigrantów ogloszony przez administracje Baracka Obamy 25 listopada 2014 r. Dzieląc zatroskanie moich braci biskupów z całych Stanów Zjednoczonych pragnę wyrazić moją wdzięczność i wsparcie dla oświadczenia wydanego niedawno przez administrację Baracka Obamy, w związku z ogłoszeniem dekretu administracyjnego dla rodzin imigrantów. Skorzystać z niego będzie mogło około 4.5 miliona osób spośród 12 milionów kobiet, mężczyzn i dzieci żyjących pośród nas. również czas na mobilizowanie naszych wspólnot w udzielaniu pomocy tym, którzy będą mogli skorzystać z dekretu administracyjnego, aby do końca zdali sobie sprawę z dobra, które zostało im zaoferowane. Biuro ds. Imigracji i Edukacji Imigracyjnej naszej archidiecezji będzie przygotowywało parafian do udzielania pomocy imigrantom z naszych parafii i z okolicznych wspólnot, potrzebnej w trakcie przechodzenia przez ten proces. Jednakże, nie możemy zapominać, że miliony ludzi wciąż pozostają wykluczone z możliwości skorzystania z tych ostatnio powziętych regulacji, że wciąż zmuszani są do życia w cieniu. Dlatego właśnie musimy kontynuować powziętą pracę i udzielać im naszego wsparcia w skali ogólnokrajowej i lokalnej Począwszy od 2001 roku, konferencja biskupów amerykańskich aż do czasu, kiedy przeprowadzona zostanie powszechna, kompleksowa reforma imigracyjna obejmująca wszystkich w skali ogólnokrajowej i grupy wiernych, w skali lokalnej, imigrantów. Sam, zobowiązuję się do tego, że w dalszym ciągu pracowały bez ustanku wspierając imigrantów i wychodząc będę współpracować, za pośrednictwem episkopatu, z moimi naprzeciw ich najbardziej palącym potrzebom, wspierając braćmi biskupami, a w naszym lokalnym Kościele rodziny rozłączone deportacją. Wśród zaangażowanych chicagowskim kontynuować będę tę długotrwałą już tradycję organizacji znajdują się: Księża za Sprawiedliwością dla mojego poprzednika kardynała George’a wspierającą to dzieło.

Jest to December 7, 2014 Second Sunday of Advent Page Twelve December 7, 2014 Second Sunday of Advent Page Thirteen ON THE MENDOZA LINE, AND ADVENT Copyright 2014 by John B. Reynolds ([email protected]) Every November, the Private Label Manufacturers Associa on puts on its big trade show here in Chicago. Since my company buys from hundreds of suppliers belonging to the PLMA, and since many of these suppliers a end the show, my QA colleagues and I o en a end as well. Typically I walk the floor to visit the vendors I have on-going projects--or issues--with, but this year I also a ended PLMA’s Execu ve Educa on Program. The program’s run by the Food Marke ng faculty from St. Joseph’s University, and while we discussed certain elements of the private label business I already had some exposure to, we also discussed something I’d never heard of before: the Mendoza Line. First, the backstory… Mario Mendoza played ball for the Pirates, Mariners, and Rangers between 1974 and ’82, and let’s just say that as far as hi ng goes, he played good defense. Hence, per Wikipedia, “The Mendoza Line is an expression in baseball… deriving from the name of shortstop player (Mendoza) whose ba ng average is taken to define the threshold of incompetent hi ng. The cutoff point is most o en said to be .200 (although Mendoza's career average was .215) and, when a posi on player's ba ng average falls below that level, the player is said to be ‘below the Mendoza Line.’ This is o en thought of as the offensive threshold below which a player's presence in MLB can’t be jus fied, regardless of his defensive abili es.” Addi onally per Wikipedia, “The expression has been also extended to other realms to indicate a low-end cut-off point,” and this is the context in which it was presented during the PLMA Execu ve Educa on Program. Here, Jim Hertel, a representa ve of Willard Bishop Consul ng, was speaking about various store formats [Fresh, E-commerce (food and consumables), Dollar, Wholesale Club, Tradi onal Supermarket, etc.] and how nontradi onal formats con nue to have the advantage in real sales growth rates. Hertel at this point compared the growth rate of the various formats against the annual rate of infla on--which he posi oned as the Mendoza Line--and explained that formats above the line are on target to outpace infla on. Not so, the others. I was intrigued by this no on of the Mendoza Line, and as I told the guy si ng next to me--Sco --we can apply it to many things. Yeah. I told him that we need to consider it in our work, our home life, our community involvement, everything. Because if the Mendoza Line is the baseline for mediocrity--if it’s the least we can do--then we want to be well above it in all that we do. According to our re red pope, “The world offers us comfort, but we are not called to comfort. We are called to greatness.” Exactly. We’ve now arrived at the Second Sunday of Advent, when the Bap st again appears in the desert. Isaiah observes that John is the voice in the wilderness preparing the way of the Lord. Well, the way of the Lord doesn’t call for mediocrity. As we rush toward Christmas Day, let’s keep the Mendoza Line in mind. As we prepare to receive the Christ, let’s do way, way more than the least we can do.
