          EASTER FILLS US WITH HOPE
          The empty tomb and the neatly folded burial cloths point to us that Jesus is physically alive. His crucified
          body has been transformed. What lesson is he teaching us by keeping his wounds intact?
          We can answer this question by turning to our own wounds. What are our wounds? First, we all experience the
          large wound caused by original sin. And then there are the other wounds... We have wounds that are caused by
sickness and the wounds that are caused by problems, adversities, challenges and the disappointments of life. All of us are
wounded. By retaining the wounds of his passion, the glorified Jesus is showing us that we can find hope and strength by
taking our wounds and uniting them to his wounds.
The eleven apostles were discouraged and filled with fear. They had lost all hope. They did not understand that Jesus had to
first die on the cross in order to rise on Easter Sunday. They did not understand that the risen Jesus would bear his five
wounds as an eternal reminder that when our wounds are united to his wounds we will find true peace.
"Peace be with you". These are the first words of the risen Jesus. He dispels the darkness of discouragement, despair and fear
by showing the eleven his glorified and wounded body. Thomas places his finger in the wounds of Jesus and he believes. "Put
                                                                                 your finger here and see my hands, and bring
                                                                                 your hand and put it into my side, and do not
                                                                                 be unbelieving, but believe". (John 20: 27)
                                                                                 Many call Thomas the doubting Thomas. All of
                                                                                 the Apostles doubted. All of the Apostles ran
                                                                                 away and abandoned Jesus. In reality, he is
                                                                                 not the doubting Thomas, but the courageous
                                                                                 Thomas. He is the only apostle who knows
                                                                                 where to find Jesus. By touching the wounds
                                                                                 of Jesus, he begins to understand that the
                                                                                 risen Jesus is not a ghost, but that he is truly

                    Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Ferdinand Parish!

                  Once again we celebrate Easter which is a great source of
                  spiritual renewal for each of us. The liturgy of Easter Sunday leads
                  us to an empty tomb to personally meet the Resurrected Christ.
  There we proclaim our faith by repeating the words of St. Paul: „For we believe
  that Jesus died and rose again…(1 Tes 4,14)

  Dear Friends, may this Easter renew and deepen our faith which Christ has
  gained for us through his suffering, death and resurrection. May it guide us in the
  transformation of our lives and help us to reject fear and anxiety, darkness and
  despair. May it assist us in becoming the people of the Resurrection that gaze
  firmly at the Victorious Christ. From this empty tomb, flows a true promise that
  goes out to the faithful to empower us to help overcome evil, wrong doing,
  despair and sadness and one day share in the resurrection of Christ.

  Dear parishioners and friends visiting our parish during this Eastertime...
  Deep from my heart, I wish you that Easter hope which flows from the joy of
  encountering the Resurrected Christ fills our hearts with hope. It is having hope
  causes us to live differently.

  Let the Resurrected Christ give us strength and
  enlighten our hearts and minds the same way
  as he did to his apostles on their way to Emmaus.
  Then we may become His true witnesses in
  today’s contemporary world.

  May the peace and blessings of the
  Resurrected Christ be with you today and always!

  Fr. Jason Torba
  Pastor

REQUESTING A MASS INTENTION
The Church considers the Mass the greatest possible prayer of intercession because it is the perfect offering of
Christ to the Father by making present the Paschal Mystery of His death and resurrection.
Given this understanding, we can add some specifics. When a priest offers Holy Mass, he has three intentions:
First, to offer the Mass reverently and validly in accord with the norms of the Church. Second, to offer the Mass in
union with the whole Church and for the good of the whole Church. Third, to offer the Mass for a particular
intention. The faithful then make a free will offering, called a stipend, in order to apply the Mass to a specific intention.
The Church believes that a Mass offered for a departed relative or friend may help hasten that final purification which he/she
may still be undergoing in purgatory. No material gift can ever compare to or equal the Infinite Value of the Holy Mass. Masses
may also be offered in thanksgiving for our blessings, family, health. Do not delay, then, to have Masses offered for yourself and
your family, living and dead. Do not leave it to the uncertain future and to those who survive you.
 If you wish to have a Mass said for someone, please contact the Parish Office 773-622-5900 ex. 225.

                 Drodzy Parafianie i Dobrodzieje parafii Św. Ferdynanda!

              Po raz kolejny przeżywamy w naszym życiu Święta Wielkiej Nocy,
              które stają się okazją i źródłem duchowej odnowy dla każdego z
              nas. Liturgia Wielkanocy prowadzi nas do pustego grobu, aby
              osobiście spotkać się ze Zmartwychwstałym Jezusem Chrystusem i
 tam wyznać wiarę za św. Pawłem Apostołem: Wierzymy, że Jezus istotnie umarł i
 zmartwychwstał...

 Drodzy, życzę Wam, aby przeżycie tych świąt przyczyniło się do ożywienia i
 pogłębienia wiary w żywą obecność Zmartwychwstałego Chrystusa w życiu
 każdego z Was. Niech ta wiara prowadzi do przemiany Waszego życia i pomoże
 odrzucić lęk i strach, ciemność i rozpacz oraz pomoże stawać się Wam ludźmi,
 którzy wpatrują się mocno w Chrystusa Zwycięzcę śmierci, piekła i szatana. Z
 pustego grobu płynie także dla nas, ludzi wierzących nadzieja, że i my ze
 Zmartwychwstałym Chrystusem możemy przezwyciężyć zło, grzech, rozpacz,
 smutek i to wszystko co na codzień nas tak bardzo przytłacza.

 Życzę Wam z głębi serca drodzy parafianie oraz goście, którzy przeżywacie te
 święta w naszej parafii, tej nadziei, która płynie ze spotkania ze
 Zmartwychwstałym Panem. Napełnijmy nasze
 serca wielkanocną nadzieją, bo kto ma nadzieję,
 żyje inaczej. Niech zatem Zmartwychwstały
 Chrystus dodaje mocy i oświeca Wasze serca i
 umysły, jak uczniom w drodze do Emaus, abyście
 byli wiernymi Jego świadkami w dzisiejszym
 świecie.

 Pokój i łaska Zmartwychwstałego niech
 towarzyszy wszystkim Waszym codziennym
 poczynianiom.

 OFIARA MSZY ŚWIĘTYCH
 Czy warto ofiarować w czyjejś intencji Mszę Św.? Otóż
                modlitwa za innych jest najbardziej
                uniwersalnym darem, jakiego mogą udzielać
                sobie chrześcijanie. I choć dzisiejszy świat, w
                którym liczy się to, co materialne, nie potrafi jej
                docenić, to jednak wielu głęboko wierzącym
                nie raz dane było doświadczyć niezwykłej mocy
                zanoszonych przez nich modlitw. A Msza
 Święta jest szczególnym rodzajem modlitwy, bo jak w
 żadnej innej obecność Boga jest wręcz namacalna. Dzięki tej
 bliskości, dzięki czystości naszego serca i łasce możemy
 wypraszać potrzebne nam i naszym bliskim dary. Pan Bóg
 sam będzie wiedział, jak obdarować tych, za których
 odprawiana jest Mszą Święta. Istnieje wiele potwierdzonych
 świadectw o cudownej sile Eucharystii. Dlaczego więc nie
 skorzystać z takiej możliwości, którą przecież mamy dzięki
 samemu Chrystusowi.

 Polecamy szczególnej uwadze możliwość zamawiania Mszy
 św. za zmarłych lub w innych wybranych intencjach.

 Intencje Mszalne można zamawiać w zakrystii lub biurze
 parafialnym (773) 622-5900 wew. 225. Zapraszamy!
