How to Respond When You Meet Suffering
In 2005 while undergoing chemotherapy, I was sitting in an uncomfortable recliner on the sixth floor of the medical facility. An IV
dripped poison into my veins that would simultaneously cure me of the cancer in my body, and wreak havoc on it, sending waves
                                                            of nausea, chills, malaise. The concoction did not discriminate
                                                            between healthy and cancer cells. It killed almost everything. This
                                                            rendered me alive, but sick, bald, and weak.

                                                               As I sat looking out the shaded glass windows which overlooked the
                                                              busy downtown area where I was receiving this treatment, I
                                                              remember feeling amazed that as I sat, literally fighting for my life,
                                                              my world falling apart, not only from cancer but being exhausted
                                                              having just had a new baby right before my diagnosis, the rest of the
                                                              world seemed not to care one bit. People carried about their normal
activities with no perception about my own personal agony. I watched businessmen in suits on the sidewalk below, hurrying to
their destinations. Women with bags of lunch from the deli were laughing as they scurried out of sight. A mother, unlike me, a
seemingly healthy mother, was pushing a stroller with a child. The sun rose and traveled across the sky in cheerful apathy to the
deep suffering I experienced for six unbearably long hours each chemo session.
Flash forward.

Yesterday I was listening to a talk radio program. A teenager who had escaped without injury during the Las Vegas shooting had
called into the show. She was understandably quite traumatized. Her boyfriend had thrown his body on top of her then they got up
and ran. She was scared. She was heartbroken. She felt guilty that she was alive and others weren’t. “The world is just going on
around me and I can’t get past this.” I completely understood.

The practicing psychotherapist talk show host kindly empathized with the girl then made a suggestion I thought was very wise. She
suggested the girl go back to Las Vegas, with her boyfriend, and bring flowers and her presence to some of those recovering in the
hospital from injuries suffered that same night from the same attack. The professional told the girl to bring cookies and thanks to
the firefighters or police on call. “This is will not only benefit you, but them. In this way you will be taking control in a small way and
being a light to the world.” Being a light to the world. Matthew 5:14-16. That’s our only answer to the horrific tragedies and
sorrows that come into our lives. When we suffer, we should respond by physically or spiritually offering something back.

 As Catholics we know that uniting that suffering to the suffering of Christ can mysteriously be redemptive. But even in the midst of
knowing that the suffering has redemptive possibility, the pain still sears. It is then we are most like the Blessed Mother and Saint
John, at the foot of the Cross, giving seemingly nothing and yet in reality everything they had, their presence. They suffered with
Jesus, even though they could not alleviate the source of His suffering. Their presence must have been a drop of refreshment to
Him. Our suffering with Christ can, in a small way, do the same.

 To be with someone while they suffer is a great gift. When I was undergoing chemotherapy I always had a companion—my
husband, my mother, or another. I noticed how sad it was for those who came in to get treatment alone. After my experience I
decided to try to reach out as much as my station in life allows, to people I know who are suffering. It is an imperfect effort, but I
strive because it is a debt I owe to those who reached out to me.

 What drops of refreshment can we give to those around us? What can we do to ease another’s pains? Can we offer a meal,
flowers, kindness, a word? Remember too that our prayers and presence in those circumstances can be balms and channels of
grace.
 Let us ponder the words of a few saints:
“Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” (St. Teresa of Calcutta)
  “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” (St. André Bessette)
 “Never miss an opportunity to do good. This good will be our solace…” (St. Francis de Sales)

We cannot do everything. But we can do something. And in that way we will not only bring light to the world but amazingly, we will
also find our own burdens lightened.

            On January 22, 2019 my mother, Zofia Zazuniak, passed away unexpectedly. I wish to
            thank to all whom during those very difficult days assured me of prayers for her and for
            their support by showing unity with me and my family. My sincere and profound thank
            you to our pastor, Fr. Jason Torba for arranging and celebra ng Memorial Mass here and
            for his deep care and concern for me. Thank you to Fr. Lukasz and Fr. Michael for their
            presence. Thank you to many parishioners, which is difficult to men on by name, for
            their support and prayers as well as many groups and parish organiza ons. Thank you to
            Cardinal Cupich, Bishops of the Archdiocese and many other parishes. There are simply
            no words to express my hear elt thanks for the sympathy you have extended toward our
            family and me during this me of loss.
            Definitely, the me for my family has changed forever, but the life goes on. Please do not
            wait to show each other apprecia on, love and forgiveness. Personally for me and for my
            family, the most difficult part is to realize that we did not have enough me to show our
            mom the gra tude and indebtedness for the love and kindness she surrounded us with.
            Once again thank you for showing us that we are not alone in our grief .
            Fr. Pawel Zazuniak

                                            ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL 2019

                                            Please spend some me this week reflec ng on the
                                            Annual Catholic Appeal brochure that you received with
                                            your bulle n. The Annual Catholic Appeal is much
                                            different than a one- me special collec on. It is a
                                            pledged campaign commitment where you can make a
                                            gi payable in installments. A pledge is a promise to make
                                            a gi over a span of me.

                                            Each pledge makes a difference because all parishes
                                            par cipate in the campaign and the gi s of many enable
                                            our Archdiocese to deliver needed ministries and services
                                            to answer Jesus’ call to “Come, Follow Me…and share the
                                            Word.”

                                            Once we reach our parish goal of $ 36,110.55 in paid
                                            pledges, 100% of any addi onal funds come back to our
                                            parish to help fund our needs.

                                            If you received your pledge form in the mail, please
                                            complete it and mail it back or bring it to Mass next
                                            weekend. For those of you who did not receive a mailing
                                            or have not had me to respond, we will conduct our in-
                                            pew pledge process at all Masses next weekend.

                                            Thank you for your prayerful considera on and generous
                                            response.

 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. The faithful make a free will offering, called a
 stipend, in order to apply the Mass to a specific intention. By making this offering, the faithful, associate themselves more
 intimately with Christ who offers Himself in the Sacred Host, and obtain thereby more abundant fruits (refer to Pope Paul VI's
 letter "Firma in Traditione" of June 13, 1974). The offering of a stipend also a means whereby a Catholic contribute to the
 upkeep of the parish and the priest serving and ministering at that particular place.
 Since the Mass is the “source and summit” of the Christian Life, we naturally look to that Holy Sacrifice of Christ, containing the
 perfect prayer, to offer for our deceased relatives and friends who may still need the help of our prayers. We believe 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.
 Mass intentions are taken in the sacristy or at the parish office.

 REMEMBER IN PRAYER LIST
 When a family member notifies the parish office, we include in the bulletin the names of
 parishioners or the immediate family members who are seriously ill. By printing these names
 in the bulletin, we alert all of our parish family to pray for their healing and add them to our
 prayer intentions. Please call our Parish Office (773) 622-5900 ext. 225 to add a loved one’s
 name to our parish prayer list. The name will remain on our list for a month and then it will be
 removed, unless the office is contacted again. Thank you.

 Chicago Catholic Men’s Conference 2019
 A Man Among Men
 Man’s Adventure in Following Christ

  “Only in Christ can men and women find answers to the
 ul mate ques ons that trouble them. Only in Christ can

                                              SANCTUARY LIGHTS
                                               For ages, the Catholic faithful follow the custom of lighting candles at
                                              churches and shrines as a glorious form of prayer and remembrance.
                                              The light from the candle's flame is a powerful symbol of Christ, the
                                              Light of the world. You may request to have the Sanctuary Lights lit
                                              for yourself, a loved one or in a special intention for a week. Please
                                              call the Parish Office or stop by the sacristy.

                                              HOSPITAL VISITS
                                              If you or a loved one are in the hospital and would like a visit from our ministers,
                                              deacons or priests, you must call the rectory and request a visit. The privacy law

Z wyrazami wdzięczności!
                                       W dniu 22 stycznia 2019 odeszła niespodziewanie z tego świata moja mama Zofia Zazuniak.
                                       Chciałbym bardzo serdecznie podziękować Tym wszystkim, którzy w tych dniach i aż do tej
                                       pory zapewniali o modlitwie za moją mamę oraz na różne sposoby przekazali wspaniałą
                                       jedność ze mną i moją rodziną w tym trudnym dla nas czasie. Dziękuję ks. Proboszczowi
                                       Zdzisławowi za zorganizowanie Mszy św. w naszej parafii i wielką troskę w stosunku do
                                       mnie, ks. Łukaszowi i ks. Michałowi za obecność. Dziękuję wszystkim szczególnie
                                       parafianom, których nie jestem w stanie tu wymienić a byliście ze mną łącząc sie w
                                       modlitwie i życzliwości. Wszystkim grupom parafialnym oraz wielu kapłanom na czele z
                                                             Księdzem Kardynałem Błażejem, Biskupami z Archidiecezji i wieloma
                                                             parafiami. Jestem bardzo wdzięczny za wszystko. Czas dla mnie i mojej
                                                             rodziny się zmienił ale życie biegnie dalej. Chciałbym wszystkim którzy
                                                             to przeczytają powiedzieć, żebyście nigdy nie czekali z okazywaniem
                                                             sobie życzliwości, miłości czy przebaczenia. Dla mnie i mojej rodziny
                                                             najtrudniejsze jest to, że nie zdążyliśmy chociaż w małym stopniu
                                                             odwdzięczyć się za te wielkie serce i miłość którą nam okazała mama.

Niedziela, 24 lutego

Prosimy, aby w tym tygodniu zastanowić się przez chwilę
nad broszurą otrzymaną wraz z dzisiejszym biuletynem.
Prosimy pamiętać, że Doroczna Kwesta Katolicka jest
czymś więcej niż jednorazową specjalną kolektą. Jest ona
kampanią, podczas której możesz złożyć zobowiązanie
spłacane w ratach.

Każde zobowiązanie przyczyni się do wprowadzania
realnych, dobrych zmian, gdyż wszystkie parafie
uczestniczą w Kweście, a ofiary wielu osób umożliwiają
naszej archidiecezji realizację koniecznych dzieł
duszpasterskich, aby odpowiedzieć na wezwanie Jezusa
PÓJDŹ ZA MNĄ... i głoś Słowo".

Kiedy nasza parafia osiągnie swoją kwotę docelową, czyli
$ 36,110.55 w gotówce, to 100% dodatkowo zebranych
funduszy zostanie zwrócone naszej parafii na zaspokojenie
jej własnych potrzeb.

Jeśli otrzymałeś pocztą formularz zobowiązania
finansowego, prosimy wypełnić go i odesłać pod wskazany
adres lub przynieść do kościoła na Mszę św. Dla tych,
którzy nie otrzymali formularzy pocztą lub nie mieli czasu,
aby odpowiedzieć na korespondencję, zostanie
przeprowadzona specjalna akcja składania zobowiązań.
Będzie ona miała miejsce w przyszłym tygodniu, podczas
wszystkich Mszy św.

Dziękujemy za rozważenie na modlitwie złożenia ofiary i
hojną odpowiedź.

SZKOŁA KATOLICKA JEST SZKOŁA Z WYBORU
Szkoła katolicka jest szkołą z wyboru, kto do niej posyła swe dzieci, tym samym akceptuje jej
tożsamość.
Modeli będzie tyle, ile szkół, bo pracują one, zwłaszcza w skali światowej, w bardzo różnych warunkach
kulturowych, społecznych i religijnych. Nie można jednak zapominać, że są pewne zasady wspólne dla
wszystkich tego rodzaju placówek, które określają tożsamość szkoły katolickiej. Są one uwypuklone w
Deklaracji Soboru Watykańskiego II O wychowaniu chrześcijańskim, w Kodeksie prawa kanonicznego, w
różnych dokumentach Kongregacji Edukacji Katolickiej i w wielu wypowiedziach Magisterium Kościoła.
 Szkołę katolicką charakteryzuje przede wszystkim troska o integralne wychowanie człowieka. Nie chodzi tylko o przekazanie
wiadomości czy nauczenie pewnych umiejętności, ale o pełną formację, także w perspektywie duchowej i moralnej. Wiedzę
bowiem można wykorzystać tak dla dobrych czynów, jak i dla złych. Patrząc na historię, łatwo zauważyć, że osiągnięcia wiedzy i
techniki nierzadko były i są wykorzystywane do złych celów, jak wojny, terroryzm, niesprawiedliwości, różnego rodzaju
manuipulacje. Musimy wyposażać młodego człowieka nie tylko w wiedzę, ale i w pokłady dobra, by swoimi umiejętnościami jak
najlepiej w swoim dorosłym życiu służył społeczeństwu i zarazem realizował siebie. Toteż w naszych szkołach dużo miejsca
poświęca się modlitwie, sakramentom, rekolekcjom, co prowadzi młodego człowieka do żywego kontaktu z Panem Bogiem.
Mówiąc o szkole katolickiej, czy w ogóle o wychowaniu chrześcijańskim, mamy na myśli kilka aspektów wychowania. Najpierw
aspekt ludzki: chodzi o to, by uczeń stawał się solidnym człowiekiem, prawym, uczciwym, prawdomównym, by można było na
nim polegać itd. Drugi to aspekt duchowy, który jest niejako ukoronowaniem tego pierwszego i zarazem go ubogaca. Kontakt z
Bogiem bowiem uszlachetnia i umacnia w czynieniu dobra. Kolejny to aspekt intelektualny, uczenie samodzielnego myślenia,
krytycznego oceniania, wartościowania. Im bardziej te trzy pierwsze elementy będą solidne, tym lepiej wychowanek będzie w
przyszłości wykonywał swój zawód, czyli twórczo wykorzystywał swe umiejętności w służbie społeczeństwu.
Szkoła katolicka jest szkołą z wyboru, kto do niej posyła swe dzieci, tym samym akceptuje jej tożsamość. Ta szkoła będzie więc
wszystkim przekazywać wartości chrześcijańskie, nikogo nie zmuszając do ich przyjęcia. Dla niej wiara katolicka jest wielkim
skarbem, nic więc dziwnego, że chce się dzielić tym skarbem z innymi.

                                                                                    P
