Dear Parishioners,

I'm looking forward to the 50th anniversary of my eighth grade graduation from Most Holy Redeemer School in Evergreen Park. Fif-
ty years, wow, I can't believe it! I’ve been trying to reflect on 1968, my classmates and the typical school day, plus all the world
events of that year through the lens of a young 13-going-on-14-year-old boy.

I have many memories, but the following came to the forefront of my consciousness. Perhaps the recent celebration of the 50th anni-
versary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in Memphis, Tennessee, brought the other memories tumbling forward.

Dr. King’s murder came to mind, as well the race riots that followed. I also recalled the assThe assassination of Senator Robert F.
Kennedy also came to mind. Like the JFK assassination and the days following, our family followed the funerals of Dr. King and
Bobby Kennedy and the reactions to these tragedies very closely. Normal activities were curtailed and our family home turned more
somber and reflective. My mom in particular took on a more reflective if not prayerful spirit.

My father, however, while saddened and disturbed by the assassination of Dr. King, thought Dr. King was somewhat of a “trouble
maker,” because people were getting angry and at times violent despite Dr. King's non-violent approach. All this is understood and
recalled as a child at the dinner table. Yet, at the same time my father was sympathetic when Dr. King was killed because he often
worked side by side with many good African American men and traveled regularly to his construction jobs that were located in Afri-
can American neighborhoods. This sympathy, however, did not diminish his outrage that he had towards the perpetrators of the riots
that followed Dr. King’s death.

I recall my father telling us at dinner how he happen to see then Mayor Richard J. Daley coming out of St. Peter's Catholic Church in
the Loop (Mayor Daley attended mass daily) as he was going to a job site (my father was a pipefitter). This was a day or two after
the riots, and my father yelled to the Mayor that the police response to the riot, which Mayor Daley ordered and which many people
thought was excessive use of force at the time, was proper and necessary. My father did not believe lawlessness was ever justified.
The Mayor acknowledge my father and said, “Thank You.”

We had a tall flagpole in our big backyard, similar to the one we have in our church courtyard. A few years earlier, I decided to make
it my job to put the flag up and down each day when the weather was good. My “flag responsibility” was known to our neighbors,
and it was well received and appreciated. Like my father, most of the men were World War II vets. I recall my parents instructing
me to put the flag at half mast when President Kennedy was assassinated, again when Dr. King was killed, and the same after Bobby
Kennedy’s assassination. Unlike the times after the deaths of JFK and Bobby Kennedy, when nothing disrespectful happened to the
lowered US flag, I discovered a few hours after I lowered it upon learning of Dr. King’s death that someone had cut the rope holding
the flag and put it up to the top again. I was stunned by this act. It felt like an intrusion into our yard, and I was caught off guard. I
could not understand how our “friendly” mostly Catholic and Dutch Reform Christian neighbors were not all as nice and open as I
naively believed. This was my first experience of racial conflict.

At the Last Supper the disciples were fragile and vulnerable. They knew in their hearts, undoubtedly, that time was rushing towards
death for their beloved Jesus. Jesus knew this, too, and gave them himself, a meal of hope. He loved them to the end and wanted
them to live bravely as his disciples.

Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy were both aware of the dangers of “loving thy neighbor as thyself.” Instead of scaling back to avoid
risks, although both were frail human beings with many personal flaws like each one of us, they were like Jesus in the sense they had
the courage to love more and to love again.

As I think about my life over these fifty years, I ask myself: am I scaling back or do I have courage to speak the truth with love?

We will celebrate today's solemnity after the 12:30 p.m. Mass with a solemn procession outside around the church, walking behind
the monstrance. Our journey in public, with people gaping from their cars driving down Harlem Avenue, is a reminder to hold onto
our dreams for a better world, to walk with our brothers and sisters who are broken. May the Christ we consumed at each Eucharist
give us strength to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good. Like Christ, may we give ourselves away as He gave us His own body
and blood.

“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, rough places will be made
straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.”
-- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Drodzy parafianie,

Z niecierpliwością czekam na 50. rocznicę mojej graduacji z Liceum Świętego Odkupiciela w Evergreen Park. Pięćdziesiąt lat, wow,
nie mogę w to uwierzyć! Myślałem i zastanowiałem się nad rokiem 1968, moimi kolegami z klasy i typowym szkolnym dniem, oraz
dodatkowo innymi wydarzeniami z tego roku oczami młodego 13-14 letniego chłopaka.

Mam wiele wspomnień, ale jedno szczególnie utkwilo w mojej pamieci. Rowniez ostatnie obchody 50 rocznicy zamordowania dr
Martina Luthera Kinga, Jr., w Memphis w stanie Tennessee, przyniosły kolejne wspomnienia.

Morderstwo doktora Kinga przyszło mi do głowy, podobnie jak zamieszki, które nastąpiły później. Pamietam rowniez o zabójstwie
senatora Roberta F. Kennedy'ego. Podobnie jak zabójstwo JFK i kolejne dni, moja rodzina bardzo uważnie śledziła relacje z
pogrzebów dr Kinga i Bobby'ego Kennedy'ego oraz reakcje na te tragedie. Zwykłe zajęcia zostały ograniczone, a nasz dom rodzinny
stał się bardziej ponury i refleksyjny. Moja mama szczególnie popadła w refleksyjny jak nie w modlitewny nastrój.

Mój ojciec, zasmucony i zaniepokojony zamordowaniem doktora Kinga, uważał jednak, że dr King jest nieco "twórcą kłopotów",
ponieważ ludzie wpadali w złość, pomimo faktu, że Dr. King nie stosował przemocy. Wszystko to jest rozumiane i przywoływane
do mojej pamieci z perspektywy mnie jako dziecka przy rodzinnym stole. Jednak w tym samym czasie mój ojciec był współczujący
kiedy Luther King Jr. został zamordowany, ponieważ często pracował z Afro-Amerykanami i regularnie odwiedzał budowle w
dzielnicach Afro-Amerykańskich. Ta sympatia nie zmniejszyła jednak jego oburzenia, jakie miał wobec sprawców zamieszek, które
nastąpiły po śmierci Dr. Kinga.

Przypominam sobie jak ojciec opowiadał przy obiedzie, jak widział burmistrza Richarda D. Daley, który wychodził z kościoła św.
Piotra w Downtown (burmistrz Daley uczestniczył w porannej mszy), kiedy szedł do pracy akurat w tym kościele (mój ojciec był
monterem rurociągów) To był dzień lub dwa po zamieszkach, a mój ojciec krzyknął do burmistrza, że odpowiedź policji na
zamieszki była jak najbardziej zasadna i potrzebna, gdzie wielu ludzi uważało, że policja nadużyła swojej władzy i siły i nie mieli
takiego prawa to zrobić. Mój ojciec nie wierzył, że to było bezprawne. Burmistrz zauważył mojego ojca i podziękował za wsparcie.

Na naszym dużym podwórku mieliśmy wysoki maszt, podobny do naszego który jest na dziedzińcu kościoła. Kilka lat temu
postanowiłem jak najlepiej go wykorzystać. Moją "flagową odpowiedzialnością" znali nasi sąsiedzi, i to zostało dobrze przyjęte i
docenione. Podobnie jak mój ojciec, mnóstwo mężczyzn byli weteranami II wojny światowej. Pamiętam, jak rodzice pouczali mnie,
żebym umieścił flagę na pół maszcie, kiedy prezydent Kennedy został zamordowany, ponownie, gdy doktor King został zabity, i to
samo po zabójstwie Bobby'ego Kennedy'ego. W przeciwieństwie do śmierci JFK i Bobby'ego Kennedy'ego, gdzie amerykańską
flagę zawieszoną do połowy masztu, nikt nie ruszył I uszanował jej opuszczenie, odkryłem kilka godzin po śmierci Dr. Kinga, że
ktoś musiał przeciąć sznurki, wziął flagę i ponownie umieścić ją na samym szczycie masztu. Byłem oszołomiony tym aktem.
Czułem się jakby intruz wtargnął na nasze podwórko i byłem zaskoczony. Nie mogłem zrozumieć, jak nasza "przyjazna" w
większości katolicka i reformowanych holenderskich chrześcijan dzielnica nie była jednak na tyle przyjazna gdzie ja tak naiwnie w
to wierzyłem. To było moje pierwsze doświadczenie konfliktu rasowego.

Podczas Ostatniej Wieczerzy uczniowie byli słabi i wrażliwi. Bez wątpienia wiedzieli w swoich sercach, że zbliża się czas śmierci
ich umiłowanego Jezusa. Jezus też to wiedział i dał siebie jako pokarm nadziei. Kochał ich do końca i chciał, aby żyli dzielnie jako
jego uczniowie.

Dr King i Bobby Kennedy byli świadomi z niebezpieczeństwa "miłości bliźniego". Zamiast wycofać się, aby uniknąć ryzyka,
postępowali jak Jezus w tym sensie, że mieli odwagę bardziej kochać i kochać od nowa a przeciez podobnie jak my mieli swoje
wady i zalety.
Kiedy myślę o tych pięćdziesięciu latach, zadaję sobie pytanie: czy cofam się, czy też mam odwagę mówić prawdę z miłością?

Świętujac dzisiejszą uroczystość zaraz po Mszy Świętej o godzinie 12:30 wyruszymy z uroczystą procesją wokół kościoła, idąc za
monstrancją. Idac w procesji z naszymi zranionymi bracmi i siostrami przypomnimy ogladajacym nas, ze warto walczyc o swoje
marzenia i lepszy swiat . Niech Chrystus przyjmowany na kazdej Eucharystii daje nam sile do poswiecenia sie dla lepszego jutra.
Oddajmy siebie tak jak Chrystus oddał swoje własne ciało i krew.

"Miałem sen, że pewnego dnia każda dolina będzie wywyższona, każde wzgórze i góra zostaną zniszczone, szorstkie miejsca zostaną
wyprostowane, a chwała Pana objawi się, a wszelkie ciało zobaczy to razem".

- Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

                     June Priests' Convocation, no weekday Masses June 18-21
By Father Ron Hicks | Vicar General
May 23, 2018
June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and it is in this month that we celebrate the Most Holy Body and Blood of
Christ in a special way with Eucharistic processions on Corpus Christi Sunday. These are wonderful reminders of the
great gift we have in the Mass and the tangible, physical presence of our Lord in the sacraments and the life of the
church brought about each and every day through our priests.
Just as it is for any parent and caregiver, the work of our priests is a 24/7 responsibility. And as any parent would know,
a moment away to tend to one’s own health and well-being is essential to that of the entire family.
 From June 18 to 21 all priests of our archdiocese will convene for what is known as a priests’ convocation — a retreat
away from the day-to-day responsibilities of their parishes and a time to gather together to grow in our own discipleship
of Jesus Christ, to build community together as we labor in his vineyard and to inspire each other to greater witness for
the salvation of souls.
The meeting theme “One in Christ” highlights that everything we are striving toward through our Renew My Church
efforts to renew the Archdiocese of Chicago begins with our priests and the brotherhood we share.
Therefore, there will be no weekday Masses June 18-21. Please see your own parish website or bulletin in the coming
weeks regarding possible prayer services.
I call our entire Catholic community to support our priests’ absence and to pray for the success of our convocation. A
healthy, spiritually vivified priest leads a healthy, spiritually vivified parish.
Please offer the following prayer, and invite others in your family and parish to do the same as we approach the days of
our convocation:
 Lord Jesus Christ, eternal High Priest, you offered yourself to the Father on the altar of the Cross and through the out-
pouring of the Holy Spirit gave your priestly people a share in your redeeming sacrifice.
Hear our prayer for all the priests of this Archdiocese of Chicago, especially as they gather in convocation. Grant that all
who are ordained to the ministerial priesthood may be ever more conformed to you, the divine Master, the Good Shep-
herd.
May they preach the Gospel with pure heart and clear conscience. Let them be shepherds according to your own heart,
single-minded in service to you and to the church and shining examples of a holy, simple and joyful life.
Through the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary, draw all priests and the flocks entrusted to their care to the fullness of
eternal life where you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

At St. John Brebeuf Parish we will have only one morning communion service at 8:30 a.m on
June 19, 20, 21, led by Deacon Andy . (No mass or communion service at 6:30 a.m.)

On Wednesday evening a 7 p.m. a Communion Service in the Polish Language will be led by
Deacon Mariusz.
