St. Monica Parish TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In many parish churches, more rarely in monastery churches and cathedrals, the tabernacle with the Blessed Sacrament is visible from a doorway or aisle in the church. Normally, a person is to give the proper sign of reverence, a genuflection, when passing in proximity to the tabernacle. The word "genuflect" comes from Latin roots meaning bending (or flexing) the knee. A common-sense exception to the rule is for a sacristan who is taking care of the church and can't be genuflecting every thirty seconds during a vacuum run. Also excepted are persons in procession entrusted with important symbols of the Lord's presence. So, a crossbearer or a minister carrying the Gospel book, or ministers on their way to their Communion stations do not genuflect. For everyone else, the usual sign of reverence for the Lord's presence in the Blessed Sacrament is to genuflect on the right knee. The oldest form of reverence during prayer in our tradition is standing; kneeling or genuflecting is a sign borrowed from old civic practice. The posture of kneeling, even on one knee, is a sign of submission. Servants would take this position before their masters in the ancient world. It said: I'm not running away, I'm yours, I'm here for you. This is what your genuflection says when you enter a Catholic church where the place of reservation of the Blessed Sacrament is visible to THE WAY you: I'm yours. Today we sense the apostles' trepidation as they begin to realize that the Lord would soon be Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. leaving them. In their fear, they ask, "Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?" (John 14:5). Jesus tells them that he is the way. The Easter season has been a time of growing in Easter faith so that we, too, may learn to know that Jesus is the way. We can take comfort in the Lord's promise that he is going to his Father's house to prepare a place for us, his chosen people who have been called out of darkness into God's wonderful light. As the paschal candle continues to burn during this holy season, let us remember that in baptism we were given the light of Christ. With Christ our light as the beacon lighting our way, let us march toward the glory of Pentecost. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. May 14, 2017 Page 3
A Word from our Pastor 5136 N NOTTINGHAM AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60656 + (773) - 763 - 1661 + WWW.STMONICACHICAGO.COM “Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me.’” J 14,1 Brothers and Sisters in Christ, As we continue in the joy of Easter, we are once again reminded that it is our Lord, Jesus Christ, who stands in the very center of our faith, our worship, and our life. His words from today’s Gospel bring us confidence and encouragement not to be afraid nor preoccupied with the daily worries. Our sincere faith in Christ will bring peace and hope into our hearts. Let us put our trust in our loving Savior and embrace his Gospel with an open heart. Of many things… Just yesterday, May 13 we began our parish celebration to honor the 100th Anniversary of the Apparition of Our Lady at Fatima in Portugal on May 13, 1917. I hope this occasion will help us to develop a deeper devotion to the Blessed Mother and ultimately bring us closer to Her Son, Jesus. As part of this year’s anniversary we will have a special Mass with the Fatima Procession on the 13th day of each month beginning in May and continuing through October. Please join us in prayer. As we celebrate Mother’s Day today, we pray for all mothers living and deceased. May God bless all mothers! May they feel our appreciation and respect for this most beautiful vocation of motherhood. May God in his mercy embrace all the deceased mothers that they may rest in peace with God. Happy Mothers Day! I would like to express my deep gratitude to our Knight of Columbus who made a donation of $2,800 to our parish from the proceeds of their Fish Fray. May God bless your ministry for all the good you do. God bless you! I would also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all of you who support our parish Building Maintenance Fund. I am so encouraged by your generosity. Last week we received over $5,000 in donations! It is important to note that 100% of your generous donations to this fund stay here at our parish. Even though most of the improvements that are done are not very visible, they are nonetheless extremely important to ensure our buildings are in good condition to serve us and the future generations. One of the most recent unexpected expenses was the repair of the heating pipe in the school with the cost over $5, 000 dollars, of which $3,500 was paid from the Building Maintenance Fund, thus alleviating the financial burden from the school budget. Once again, thank you so much for your generosity! Fr. Mariusz P. Stefanowski Pastor May 14, 2017 Page 5
St. Monica Parish FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER Today's readings describe the complexities of trying to live a spiritual life while still living in a world that demands concrete action. Acts tell us about disagreements beginning to emerge in the early Christian communities over divisions of labor. Some people are praying and preaching while others are feeding the hungry. In First Peter we are reminded that Jesus is the cornerstone. Jesus was rejected yet is the very foundation for building the community, and yet he also a stumbling block for those who do not follow the path laid out by his life and works. In John we hear again the contrast of the spiritual and the concrete, of houses with many rooms, of truth and life. Is it surprising that the apostles and we are sometimes confused about how to live the life Jesus intended for us? FINDING REALITY IN FAITH The readings today describe a faith community struggling with the realities of preaching, teaching, praying, and spreading the word of God while others are concerned about putting food on the table and a roof over their heads. In Acts decisions are made about a division of labor. Some will preach and others will ensure that the community is fed. In First Peter there is talk of spiritual houses, builders, and cornerstones, of faith and stumbling blocks. In John, Jesus begins to prepare the apostles for his departure. Jesus talks about his Father's house but the apostles want concrete answers to their questions. They want to see the Father. They don't know the way. Jesus' response is both spiritual and concrete. His answer is both faith and works. FINDING FAITH IN THE REAL WORLD The tensions within the readings are tensions we feel every day between our faith and the world in which we live. We stumble over stones that litter the way, over lies that hide the truth, even over the reality of death. We want our faith to be solid, so we can test its permanence and reality. But faith is not concrete. Faith is a living thing, a leap into the unknown. Works are concrete. The works of the apostles are what sustained them even as they struggled with their own faith. We must feed the hungry and shelter the homeless even as we speak to ourselves and others of faith beyond brick and mortar. While we live in a world of harsh realities, we must remember there are realities beyond those we see but not beyond our belief. We know that the faith born of love for others and lived out in caring for the sick and sorrowful, the hungry and homeless, the poor and imprisoned is real. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
