Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time March 3, 2019
From the Desk of Fr. Marc Reszel Thank you from Cardinal Cupich
Blessings on the Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
This is the follow-up weekend for the Annual Catholic Appeal. This
year’s theme is: COME, FOLLOW ME…AND SHARE THE WORD.
Thank you to all who made an in-pew pledge last weekend or who did so
online or through the mail. For those who have not yet done so, please
consider making a gift today.
Lent is coming. Ash Wednesday is March 6. One of the seasonal
disciplines (same root as disciples) is Prayer. A mailer has been sent to
all registered parishioner households with a schedule of Lenten prayer
opportunities at St John of the Cross. May that serve as both an invitation
and a reminder to pray. Additional information is also readily available in
the weekly bulletin and online at stjohnofthecross.org.
The members of the parish staff have recommended and I have agreed
that, beginning with the March 2019 “opening” of the 2020 Mass Book,
the intention for each parish Mass with be for St. John of the Cross
Parish. At each Mass there will also be remembrances of one or more people or events. The remembrances will
be normally be recorded in the Mass Book and printed in the weekly bulletin; acknowledged with a suitable card;
and included at the beginning of Mass, in the Universal Prayer (Prayers of the Faithful), or in another manner
chosen by the priest presider. The suggested donation for such a remembrance will remain ten dollars
For pastoral reasons it is desirable to remember more than one person or anniversary on any given day or at a
particular celebration of the Eucharist. In a parish community as large as ours, we are certain to have
anniversaries of birth, death, marriage, or religious profession that occurred on the same calendar day. Within
my own family, September 12 was both my brother’s birthday and my paternal grandparents’ wedding
anniversary. We celebrated both, not just the one that was first on the calendar.
Once upon a time a priest was paid by the Masses he said. The payment was called a stipend and the good
purchased was called the Intention. For that reason, the Code of Canon Law allowed that there be only one
intention at each Mass. This practice led to liturgical abuses including the multiplication of masses at side altars
without a congregation. Know that the priests of the Archdiocese of Chicago are no longer compensated by
mass stipends, that the so-called stipend account has been closed, and that masses are celebrated according to
our parish schedule without regard to a stipend intention. Those wishing an intention rather than a remembrance
may contact missionary communities of priests that still rely on mass stipends to support their ministry.
It has recently been brought to my attention that Cardinal Cupich has appointed our parishioners, Lawrence
Krema and Kenneth Nelson, to three year terms on the Board of Advisors of Catholic Charities. The Cardinal has
also reappointed parishioners: John Atkinson, Francis Gembala, and Michael Rooney to three year terms.
Congratulations!
Let us continue to pray for one another and for our parish.
Father Reszel
A Note of Gratitude from Cardinal Cupich
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
A new year presents a unique opportunity to prayerfully reflect on what we have learned, how we have grown
both individually and as a Church, and what more needs to be done. Understanding that this last year was not
without challenges, I want to thank you for your generous support of the Annual Catholic Appeal. Your
participation reminds us that our words must match our deeds and ensures that as we walk the path to a more
just world, we do not walk alone. With Christ as our guide, together we support Catholic schools and parishes in
need, religious education and ministerial formation, and other initiatives across our Archdiocese.
Pray for the people who will benefit from your generosity. And, of course, please pray for me, as I am always
praying for you. May God bless and keep you and all your loved ones.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Cardinal Cupich

2019 Annual Catholic Appeal
Among the many challenges that face our Church today, the needs of the poor remain a priority. Our
responsibility is to share in Jesus’ mission—to learn from him, be inspired by him, to live in him.
A practical way to live our faith is by supporting the Annual Catholic Appeal which enables us to reach out
to parishes, individuals and communities in need. Our donations fund a significant portion of the work of our
Archdiocese in schools and churches, soup kitchens, counseling centers, and on street corners where
people of all backgrounds in every neighborhood in Cook and Lake Counties are served. Your gift to the
Annual Appeal helps to sustain Catholic schools, religious education, ministerial formation, and initiatives for
life, peace and justice. Through its support of Catholic Relief Services, the Appeal also serves people
worldwide, without regard for religious affiliation, whose lives are devastated by natural disasters, illnesses,
wars and famines.
The Appeal supports the administrative offices that our parish school administration relies on, the Youth
Catechesis leadership depends on, and our Crossroads Youth Ministry is supported by. It also helps pay for
the education and formation of lay ministers, deacons and priests. We are all entrusted with the
responsibility to pass on the faith to the next generation and to do so with joy.
It is important to note that none of the donations to the Annual Catholic Appeal ever have been or will be
used to defray expenses related to misconduct issues.
Our parish goal this year is $201,039. As in the past, any funds donated above our goal come back to our
parish as a rebate. Through your generosity to the Appeal our rebates continue to be set aside to retire our
$1.2M commitment to the archdiocesan To Teach Who Christ Is Campaign. To date, 93% of our debt is held
in parish savings to be paid off over the next four years. In our Annual Report last November, we reported
that after our TTWCI commitment is fulfilled, the parish Finance Council will continue to set aside additional
overages in parish reserves.
Future savings will be used to make needed improvements and upgrades to our buildings and grounds as
they become necessary. A recent study of the roofs on church, the Parish Center, and the school building
conducted by a roofing consultant indicated that portions of our school roof will need to be replaced in the
next few years. Watch for more communication from our Plant Manager, Frank DiPompeo, and the Finance
Council as this project moves ahead.
This weekend we will have an opportunity to make a commitment to the Appeal and all the important
endeavors it supports. Or if you have received a direct mailing from the Appeal you may send your gift in
directly or bring it to Mass with you. Your contributions are deeply appreciated, very much needed and
continue to make a real difference in the lives of many.
COME FOLLOW ME...and share the Word

Liturgy in Lent by Fr. Bill Vollmer
What became of the cross after the crucifixion? Some claim that it was broken up and carted off by
believers. Others insist that, because it was an instrument of shame, it was neglected or destroyed.
Believers, though, know that the cross is still carried, still born on the shoulder of the Savior.
The cross is still carried to a home where a woman is stricken with a fatal disease. Her friends sent her
cards and brought her meals. Her neighbor, ringing the doorbell, comes every day at the same hour to
clean things up, to make sure the old woman has taken her medication, to spend a moment visiting,
listening. It is not an easy task, but something compels her, leading her each day to be with the dying
woman. In that moment, when the bells rings, there is also the unheard sound of the cross as it is dragged
up the stairs.
The cross is still being carried. Where does Christ carry his cross? He carries it where there is suffering
and pain. Why does Christ still carry his cross? He carries it to lead us where we could not choose to go.
To lead us to do what we would not choose to do. To be what we never dreamed we could become.
The cross goes where there is injustice and violence and tyranny, carrying freedom and justice and
peace. The cross is love for us who face the darkness of human deeds, a darkness around us and within
us. Christ’s cross is a gift, offered for us so that we may hear the sound of other crosses passing before us
every day.
During Lent the environment of the church and our parish liturgies will be simplified to reflect the
asceticism of the season. The cross in church and one in the narthex (used for veneration on Good
Friday) near the statue of St. John of the Cross, are draped in purple to remind us that one cannot be his
follower without taking up Christ’s cross. Our Liturgy will attempt to draw us into the mysteries of the
season, a season filled with the images of baptism and the cross. Our gathering hymn, Gracious God by
Jesse Manibusan, will be sung on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Sundays of Lent. The 4th Sunday of Lent, March
30, is traditionally known as Lætare Sunday. Lætare (Rejoice), taken from the Latin translation of Isaiah
66:10-11, sets a tone of joyful anticipation of the Easter mystery. On this Sunday, our gathering hymn will
be, This is a Day of New Beginnings by Lori True.
The Penitential Act will include the Confiteor and a chanted Kyrie. This is one of three forms of the
Penitential Act in the Roman Rite. During Lent we will profess our faith by praying the Apostle’s Creed.
This baptismal symbol of the Catholic Church is traditionally used during the liturgical seasons of Lent and
Easter due to the baptismal themes and overtones in the scripture and liturgical prayers. The Prayers of
the Faithful will be simplified, so that we might be open to the manner in which God will grant them. Our
response to each intercession will be chanted. The Lamb of God (Agnes Dei) will be chanted in Latin as
in previous years. This ancient chant is familiar to old and young; our first graders are taught this chant.
May these forty days and the celebration of our liturgies draw us more deeply into the mystery of the
cross. Let us pray for each other.
New Ushers Are Needed
We are expanding our Ministry of Ushers and encourage you to consider this very important
ministry. Ushers are needed at all Mass times, however we have an immediate need at the
5:00pm Sunday liturgy. Ushers greet and warmly welcome all to our parish. To new folks and
visitors, they are the first impression of our parish community. Ushers help seat the assembly
at weekend Masses and gather the collection. Ushers should be adults over the age of
16. Each Mass has a Head Usher who is also AED/CPR certified. Contact Steven Weigand in
the Parish Center or the Head Usher at Mass with questions or more information.
St. John of the Cross Parish Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time March 3, 2019 Page 4
Preparing for Lent
How do you prepare for Lent? How have you prepared in the past? What are your ideas about
what should happen during Lent?
We have the traditional Catholic practices of praying, fasting, and almsgiving. So, we pray more than usual,
or we pray with different emphases. We eat smaller or fewer meals or give up a favorite food or drink group.
We give more of our resources or give them specifically to special works of mercy during Lent.
Prayer, fasting, and charitable giving continue to be quite good practices during Lent or at any time. But, you
might think, how do I prepare myself for this season? What needs to happen within so that I can practice with
more integrity and intention whatever I’m doing on the outside?
There are plenty of ideas for actions and practices during Lent; coming up with ideas usually is not the
problem. But we don’t want to do anything simply to be doing it, even if it’s a good thing. We don’t want to
make a list of merciful works so that we can place a checkmark beside each one as we accomplish it.
It’s good to have a plan for doing. It’s also good to have a plan for being.
How do I want to be during Lent this year? More quiet and thoughtful? More open to God’s desires? Better
able to sit with people who need me? More attentive to sacred readings, whether in church or in private? Do I
need to be more compassionate toward my own fears and failings? Do I need to become more courageous
about using the gifts God has given me?
In the days prior to Lent, try one or more of these suggestions.
Ask God, every day, “What does my soul need?” Just ask, and wait quietly. Because we’re
very good at fooling ourselves about how we’re doing, it might take several days of praying this question before
we’re truly open and humble enough to know the answer.
Ask God, every day, “What about my life makes you happy?” Yes, when God looks
at your life, some parts of it—perhaps many aspects of it—bring joy to God’s heart. Think of how your children
or grandchildren or other people close to you make you happy. God is in relationship with you, which means
that your sins grieve God’s heart, but also that your growth and love and freedom and kindness bring joy to
God of the universe. Again, you will probably need to pray this a few times before you are willing to consider
that you give God pleasure, that you make God happy in any way. Stick with this little prayer and keep
listening.
Tell God, and yourself, every day, “I want to be open to the graces of this
Lenten season.” Maybe you’re not open right now, or you’re not as open and willing as you’d like to be
or think you should be. What else is new? We can always open our lives a bit more, let go of more stuff, listen
better, and do more quickly and passionately what we know helps nurture God’s kingdom on earth.
This is a beginning: three short and simple prayer starters to ready yourself for the holy season.
Ignatian Spirituality
Lord, it feels like we are embarking on a Lenten journey together, you and I. Today we are invited to let the
Holy Spirit purify our hearts, and strengthen us in love. That feels like what I am looking for - or what you
are looking for in me. I want to remember how much I need you in my life and how much my life needs
redemption. I want to remember it clearly and in the background of my day today and all through Lent.
On this special day, Ash Wednesday, may my small sacrifices in fasting be a way to clear away the clutter
in my life to see you more clearly. May my longing for meat and other food, help me to focus my life today
more outside myself. Let me be aware of those who are in so much more suffering than I am and may I be
aware of them as the brothers and sisters you have placed in my life.
Lord, I know there is darkness within me and around me. Bless these days with your Word. Let your Light
shine in the darkness. Help me long for that Light until we celebrate it at the Vigil six weeks from now.
And most of all Lord, help me to honor this day with the ashes on my forehead. They help me remember
where I have come from and where I am going. May I acknowledge to you my sins and my deep need for
your loving forgiveness and grace. I pray that this Lenten season will make me so much more aware of
how much I need your healing in my life. Creighton.

Prayer
Ash Wednesday, the first day of the liturgical season of Lent is March 6. In this season, we
prepare ourselves to celebrate the high point of our Christian life, Easter. Each year, the
readings for Ash Wednesday are the same. They call us to a change of heart and teach us
about the traditional Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. These disciplines are
to be part of the Christian life during every season, but during the season of Lent, we renew
our commitment to them.
The meaning behind tracing a cross on our foreheads with ashes (the liturgical sign of Ash
Wednesday) is a summary of our Christian life. On one level, the ashes remind us of our origin
and our death. (In the words of the prayer said when we receive ashes: “Remember that you
are dust and to dust you shall return.”) The ashes are also the sign of our victory: the cross of
Christ. In his death and resurrection, Christ conquered death. Our destiny as Christians is to
receive the victory over death that Christ won for us. We acknowledge that victory when we “[t]
urn away from sin and [are] faithful to the gospel,” words from the alternative prayer when we
are signed with ashes.
The Gospel on Ash Wednesday is part of the Sermon on the Mount. In the sermon, Jesus
warns his followers against acting for the sake of appearance. When Jesus’ disciples give
alms, pray, and fast, they are to do so in such a way that only God, who sees the heart and
knows what is hidden, will know. Although our Lectionary reading omits the Lord’s Prayer, we
can recall that Matthew presents that prayer as a model for the disciples’ prayer (Matthew 6:9-
15). Loyola Press

Living the Gospel
We all have words to live by. Maybe they were told to us by parents or grandparents,
or perhaps a teacher or a relative. Today’s Gospel gives us life lessons or words to
live by. In fact, if read in isolation, this reading is broader than Christianity. It could
readily be accepted by non-Christians too. And such is often the case with life
lessons. They are not limited to one religious or denominational outlook. We lift our prayers
The life lessons Jesus teaches in this Gospel are akin to homespun wisdom rooted to you,

RCIA
Rite of Sending-Rite of Election
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is the process
for becoming Catholic. Again this year our parish has teamed
up with our neighbor parish, St. Francis Xavier, to welcome
and prepare all those seeking to become Catholic. Both
parish ministry teams have combined resources to
accompany our adult Candidates and Catechumen as they
journey to make a faith commitment to Jesus in the Catholic
Church.
Next Sunday, March 10 at the 10:45am Mass our RCIA
Candidates: Erik, Jason and Brad will publicly express their
desire to be in full communion with the Church with the
celebration and reception of the sacraments of Eucharist and
Confirmation at the Easter Vigil. At Mass the Candidates will
Erik Palm sign the Book of the Elect and be affirmed by their sponsors
and our parish faith community. Then later in the day the
group from both parishes will travel to Holy Name Cathedral
to present the Book of the Elect to Bishop Manz with other
Catechumens and Candidates from throughout the
archdiocese.
As our Elect journey through the weeks of Lent they
continue to prepare to celebrate the sacraments at the
Easter Vigil through prayer, scripture study and spiritual
direction. Join us as we keep them in our prayers.
Almighty God,
look upon our Candidates,
Erik, Jason, and Brad
as they publicly express their desire
to be counted among the members
of your Church.
Jason Sundersen As they enter this final period of preparation
in coming to know Christ,
the love of God, the mysteries of our faith,
the way of the Gospel,
the grace of the sacraments,
and the importance of their relationship
with you and the Church
fill them with your Spirit of
guidance and wisdom.
We thank you
for these whom you have called
and we await their joining us
around the table of the Lord.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit,
assure them of the prayers and support of the
St. John of the Cross Parish faith community.
Amen.
