March 20 - Our Lady of the Woods Parish
Our Lady of the Woods Parish Orland Park, Illinois Page Two Dear Parishioners, Holy Week is upon us. The bulletin contains the schedule of Masses and services scheduled this week. I encourage as many as possible to participate. I know that many people have people they love or who they socialize with who have proclaimed themselves atheists or agnostics. There are others who have left or drifted from Christianity for any number of reasons. Sometimes these reasons are unknown even to the persons themselves. In any event sometimes people ask me what they should say. In many ways people drift because they have doubts about the church. Perhaps they have had bad experiences. In the powerful movie The Way which tells the story of four individuals who travel together along El Camino de Santiago in northern Spain, there is a scene where one of them explains why he never enters a church. He is from Ireland and he carries great anger about the church. He says, “Where I come from the churches are temples of tears. They have much to answer for.” One of the most moving scenes is when, at the end of the journey, he finally enters the church building of Saint James in Campostelo. It always causes me pain to know that in the name of the church people feel they have been wounded. The answer, of course, is Jesus Christ. One should always begin with the story of Jesus. The church exists to bring us closer to the Lord. Every sacramental action is an encounter with Christ. WE must begin by inviting people to come to know Jesus. Enter into the mystery of his death and resurrection. Understand what he says about mercy, about conversion, about sin. In this holiest of weeks we each should strive to spend time with Jesus. The three days of the Easter Triduum – Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday – are invitations to encounter the story of Jesus in rich detail. Holy Thursday is an invitation to see him in the Eucharist and to understand his example of service. Good Friday is a time to reflect on the love that was so powerful that it was spent for sinners. Easter we celebrate the promise of new life. It is often said at Christmas that “Jesus is the reason for the season.” Well he is the reason for this season as well. Come encounter him this week.

Why didn’t they tell Jesus? • There are two trials. The first is by the leaders of the people of Jerusalem who consider Jesus to be a serious threat to their influence with Roman governor. The second trial is by Pilate and Herod Antipas. Neither Pilate nor Herod see any serious danger in from Jesus, so they rough him up a bit but spare his life. • Caving in to pressure from the Temple mob, they turn Jesus over to them. • Along the way to Calvary the soldiers force a Diaspora Jew, Simon, a Diaspora Jew from a city almost a thousand miles from Jerusalem. Mark refers to Simon and his family as if they had become Christians (15: 21). • Jesus’ last words, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit,” remind us of the references to Jesus as “filled with the spirit” in the first four chapters of Luke. • The only person to recognize Jesus’ innocence and divinity is the Roman centurion. Although later stories call him Longinus, he is unnamed in the gospels (Mt 27: 54, Mk 15: 39, Jn 19: 34). Might the centurion be Cornelius who becomes the major player in the expansion of Christianity to the Gentiles (10 & 11)? © Copyright 2016 Publications Ecuyer du Vent All Rights Reserved Send questions or comments to: [email protected] Page Six Holy Week Schedule Palm Sunday March 20, 2016 Palms will be blessed and distributed at all Masses 5:00 p.m. ( Sat. ) 8:00 a.m.- 9:30a.m.-11:00a.m.6:00 p.m. SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION In preparation for Easter Monday, March 21, 7:00 PM Tuesday, March 22, 7:00 PM Holy Thursday March 24, 2016 There is no morning Mass 8:30 a.m. Morning Prayer 7:00 p.m. Liturgy of Our Lord’s Last Supper 8:00 p.m. – Midnight Adoration Good Friday March25, 2016 There is no Morning Mass 8:30 a.m. Morning Prayer 3:00 p.m. Stations of the Cross Presented by Youth Ministry 7:00 p.m. Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion and Death Veneration of the Cross Gospel of St. John presented by Youth Ministry Holy Saturday March 26, 2016 There is no Morning Mass 8:30 a.m. Morning Prayers 9:00 a.m. -10:00 a.m. Sacrament of Reconciliation 12 Noon – Blessing of Easter Food and Baskets There is no 5:00 p.m. Mass 7:30 p.m. Easter Vigil Easter Sunday March 27, 2016 Feast of the Resurrection of the Lord Masses 8:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. There is No 6:00 p.m. Mass Divine Mercy Sunday April 3, 2016 3:00 p.m. Mass Divine Mercy Sunday Mass April 3, 2016 3:00 PM Our Lady of the Woods 10731 W. 131st Street Orland Park, Illinois 708-361-4754 Rev.

Ministers of Care are parishioners who are commissioned by Our Lady of the Woods and have completed and extensive training program from the Archdiocese of Chicago. Our Ministers of Care have been trained to properly administer the Holy Eucharist to those who cannot come to church. Each minister offers compassion, prayer and Holy Communion to those who are sick or homebound. They also bring the Eucharist to Catholic patients in healthcare facilities such as Palos Community Hospital, Advocate Christ Hospital, Peace Village, Circle Inn, Sunrise Assisted Living Residence as well as homebound parishioners. If you have someone who is homebound or at one of the mentioned facilities that would like to receive communion at please contact Michelle Hilliard at the parish office. We will gladly have someone minister to your loved one. On Saturday, April 30, 2016 we would like to invite you, a member of Our Lady of the Woods parish, and any friends or family members to participate in the 24th annual National Rebuilding Day event at our two selected houses in Blue Island. • What is Rebuilding Together? It is one of the few local organizations available to assist the elderly, disabled and low-income residents of our neighborhoods with routine maintenance and repair needs. Helping hands like yours are essential to sustaining communities and preserving viable housing for homeowners. Rebuilding Together is committed to keeping homeowners “warm, safe and dry.” • What kind of work is done? Minor plumbing, electrical and carpentry work, interior and exterior painting, adding grab bars, handrails, security, better locks, outside clean up and minor landscaping. • Do you need to be a tradesman or have a special skill in order to volunteer? Absolutely not! All you need is a willingness to help and get a little dirty. If you love gardening you can help outside. If you like to paint we have plenty of work for you. There is something for everyone! • In this “Year of Mercy” please consider donating a day of your time to making someone’s life a little easier.

Page Eleven Human Trafficking/Modern-Day Slavery It is abhorrent and almost inconceivable, that today, a century and a half after the Emancipation Proclamation and 65 years since the U.N. adopted the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights, there are an estimated 36 million children, women, and men worldwide, enslaved in forced labor or sex trafficking. These tremendous abuses of human rights and human dignity have continued to exist throughout the world preying on the most vulnerable. These are human beings who are viewed by their traffickers as nothing more than commodities, something to be bought and sold. Of that 36 million, nearly two million are children that are exploited in the commercial sex industry. During this season of Lent, let us remember our calling to Catholic Social Teaching: 1. 2. 3. 4. promote the sacredness of life and the dignity of the human person; protect human rights, especially for the poor and vulnerable; protect the dignity of work and the rights of workers; and live in solidarity with all people as one global family. Catholic social teaching is a central and essential element of our faith. Its roots are in the teachings of the Hebrew prophets who announced God’s special love for the poor and called God’s people to a covenant of love and justice. It is a teaching, founded on the life and words of Jesus Christ. Catholic social teaching is built on a commitment to the poor and vulnerable. This commitment arises from our experiences of Christ in the Eucharist.
