Many of you may have noticed in the daily newspapers and our own Catholic New World that some
changes had been announced in the revision of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal. As I
look at the instruction, the changes are few in practice but are more concerned with our understanding
and appreciation of the Eucharist.
As a priest, I distribute communion on a regular basis and I am always surprised at just how
many ways people have invented to receive communion. As far as I can remember, there were only
two ways — on the tongue or in the hand, with the left hand placed over the right hand. The variations consist of these for the most part: “Both tongue and hand extended” resulting in a here or there
exchange several times before making contact. Then there is the “one hand out” style, either left or
right resulting in a switch to the other hand because of some primordial recollection that it went into the left hand originally and was taken by the right hand to deposit in the mouth. Then we have the frequent “Host Grabbers.” They
come with a menacing claw-like hand which rapaciously snatches the host from the priest. Most of these would also
forget about the practice of taking one step to the side, consuming the host, making the sign of the cross and then
returning to their seats.
From these observations alone, it is fortunate that we will have the opportunity to take a new look at the
Sacrament of the Eucharist so that we might deepen our appreciation of the sacrament which is at the center of our life
in Christ.
Beginning today and continuing in the coming weeks we will print several articles in the bulletin on this subject. I hope they will be helpful to all of us as we foster a deeper appreciation and practice in our celebration of the
Mass.

Our Fall Blood Drive will be on
Sunday, November 9th. Please
mark your calendars and plan to be
with us! More information to follow.
As members of the parish faith
community, it is our responsibility to
remember both in concrete and spiritual
ways those who cannot celebrate with us
each week because they are ill. Those
who are sick in turn, remember all of us
daily in their prayers and in their sufferings. We experience many blessings because of their remembering us.
And so ... please remember in your prayers:

Sunday Eucharist
The day-to-day life of a parish varies greatly from one community to another, but the one thing that all Catholic parishes hold
in common is the celebration of the Eucharist on Sunday, the
Lord’s Day. This is the gathering point for all parishioners, the
time when everyone comes together. The table of God’s Word
and the table of the Eucharist feed and nourish the community,
refreshing the people and sending them on into yet another week
of work and struggles, joys and successes, and many opportunities to spread the Kingdom of God. In speech and song, symbol
and gesture, we unite our praise and thanksgiving to Christ’s
perfect self-offering on the cross.
Sunday: The Day of the Lord
From earliest times, Christians have kept Sunday, the Lord’s
Day, by celebrating the Eucharist, which the Lord gave us as an
everlasting memorial of his saving death and resurrection. The
Eucharist makes present sacramentally the living mystery of the
Lord’s Passover from death to life, and our participation in the
Mass gives us a unique share in the Passover of Christ. It is no
wonder that the Church teaches us that the Eucharist is the
source and summit of the Church’s life, and that the Holy Father
invites us to renew our amazement in the face of this great gift.
So important is the liturgy for our lives as Christians that the
Church has always taken great care with how the liturgy is celebrated. The essential parts of the liturgy have remained
unchanged over the centuries, although the ritual words and
form of the liturgy have varied from time to time. The Second
Vatican Council (1962–1965) instituted a number of revisions
to the Roman Missal, calling for changes to help Catholics celebrate the liturgy more deeply. After the Council, there was a
major effort to catechize the faithful on the meaning of the liturgy and these revisions. Since then, a whole new generation of
Catholics has grown up with the liturgy that we celebrate
Sunday after Sunday, week after week, season after season.
If we were to stop and reflect on what has happened in the years
since the Council, we might have to admit that some well-intentioned people may have overlooked some parts of the deep
meaning and order of the liturgy. We might become aware that
in some places, certain idiosyncrasies might have crept into a particular parish’s celebration of the Eucharist. And we might realize that now is a good time for the Church to reflect on and
review how we celebrate the liturgy, the most important element of Catholic life.
The Revised General Instruction
its introduction, the General Instruction of the Roman Missal.
This revision has grown out of the years of pastoral experience
with the Roman Missal that was published immediately after
the Second Vatican Council. Respecting the diversity of cultures
in the universal Church, the Holy See invited the national conferences of bishops to propose revisions appropriate to their own
particular regions.
The changes called for in this revision, relatively minor though
they are, give witness to the fact that the liturgy is the prayer of
the living Church and so understandably must undergo some
changes from time to time. The publication of this revision provides the occasion for renewed catechesis on the understanding
and practice of the liturgy, especially the Mass. The hope is that,
with this catechesis and reflection, Catholics everywhere can
more deeply pray the liturgy with all their hearts and can find in
the liturgy the wellspring of their spirituality.
In the weeks to come, we will have the opportunity to reflect
again upon the meaning and the value of the liturgy in our
Catholic Tradition. We will be introduced to the changes in the
liturgy called for in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal.
As we revisit our celebration of the Mass, all of us may also
rediscover some things that perhaps we’ve taken for granted or
haven’t paid too much attention to in the past. This catechesis is
not based in a concern about law or rubrics, but about the quality and integrity of our prayer together, which must truly be the
primary and indispensable source from which we draw the true
Christian spirit.
In some parishes, the implementation of this revision will mark
a change in various aspects of the parish’s weekly celebration of
the Eucharist. In other parishes there may be very little that is
noticeably different. One of the most notable changes, for all,
concerns the way we receive Holy Communion in this country.
The General Instruction calls for communicants to make a gesture of reverence before receiving the Eucharist, and the bishops
of the United States have determined that for Catholics in this
country, that gesture shall be a bow of the head to the Body and
Blood of Christ in the minister’s hands.
As we reflect on these changes in the celebration of Mass, it is
important to appreciate the opportunity they offer for all the
Church. This is a chance for each parish to consider a most important question: “Is it clear, in the celebration of the Eucharist in
our parish, that this is the most important thing we do all
week?”
Recently, the Holy See issued a revision of the Roman Missal and
This insert has been created in preparation for the implementation of the revised General Instruction of the Roman Missal, which will take
place in the Archdiocese of Chicago on the first Sunday of Advent, November 30, 2003. It is based on material provided by the Secretariat for
the Liturgy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Inc., Washington D.C. Copyright © 2002. Copyright © 2003 Archdiocese

Wielu z was zwróci³o uwag , ¿e w codziennych gazetach lub w czasopiœmie "Nowy Œwiat"
og³oszono zmianê Ogólnej Instrukcji w Mszale Rzymskim. Kiedy przygl¹dam siê instrukcji, widzê
¿e zmian naszej pozycji cia³a podczas Mszy œw. jest niewiele, ale zwrócona jest wiêksza uwaga na
zrozumienie i docenienie daru Eucharystii.
Jako ksi¹dz udzielaj¹cy komunii œwiêtej zawsze jestem zaskoczony iloœci¹ wymyœlonych
sposobów przyjmowania Najœwiêtszego Sakramentu. Najdalej jak tylko potrafiê siêgn¹æ pamiêci¹
by³y tylko dwa sposoby - na jêzyk lub na rêkê z lew¹ d³oni¹ po³o¿on¹ na prawej.
Zmiany jakie dzisiaj zauwa¿am sk³adaj¹ siê w przewa¿ajacej czêœci: "Jêzyk i rêka jednoczeœnie
wyciagniête" zmieniaj¹ce pozycjê a¿ do momentu przyjêcia komunii œwiêtej. Nastêpnie, ludzie
"wyci¹gaj¹ jedn¹ rêkê" aby przyj¹æ hostiê, w chwilê póŸniej przek³adaj¹ j¹ do drugiej. Dzieje siê tak
prawdopodobnie dlatego, ¿e pierwotnie komunia œw. by³a przyjmowana na lew¹ d³oñ a praw¹ by³a wk³adana do ust.
Jeszcze jeden sposób, który czêsto widzê - " Porywacze Hostii". Niektórzy przychodz¹ z wyci¹gniêt¹ rêk¹, która
"uzbrojona" jest w groŸne szpony i nagle porywaj¹ hostiê od kap³ana po czym poœpiesznie odchodz¹. Wiêkszoœæ
z nich niestety zapomnia³a o praktyce przyjêcia z godnoœci¹ Najœwiêtszego Sakramentu, odejœcia jeden krok w bok,
spo¿ycia komunii œw., zrobieniu znaku krzy¿a i powrotu do ³awki.
Na szczêœcie ju¿ nied³ugo bêdziemy mieli mo¿liwoœæ nowego spojrzenia na Sakrament Eucharystii, tak
abyœmy mogli pog³êbiæ nasz¹ wdziêcznoœæ za ten sakrament, który jest centrum naszego ¿ycia w Chrystusie.
W nadchodz¹cych tygodniach bêdzimy umieszczaæ arytku³y na ten temat w biuletynie parafialnym. Mam
nadziejê, ¿e pomog¹ nam one zg³êbiæ nasz szacunek i doceniæ wielk¹ wartoœæ Mszy œw. oraz stan¹ siê pomocne we
wprowadzeniu tych pobo¿nych praktyk w ¿ycie.
ks. Cortesi

Niedzielna Eucharystia
¯ycie codzienne parafii jest inne w ka¿dej parafii zale¿nie od
lokalnych potrzeb i czynników kulturowych. Jednak jedn¹ rzecz¹
wspóln¹ dla wszystkich parafii Katolickich jest celebracja
Eucharystii w niedzielê, tj, w Dzieñ Pañski. Jest to miejsce i czas
spotkania wszystkich parafian. Stó³ S³owa Bo¿ego oraz Stó³
Eucharystii karmi¹ i po¿ywiaj¹ spo³ecznoœæ parafialn¹, odnawiaj¹c sposobnoœci aby rozszerzaæ Królestwo Bo¿e. W s³owie
i pieœni, symbolu i geœcie ³¹czymy nasze uwielbienie
i dziêkczynienie z doskona³¹ ofiar¹ Chrystusa na krzy¿u.
NIEDZIELA - DZIEÑ PAÑSKI
Gromadzimy siê w niedzielê poniewa¿ ten dzieñ upamiêtnia
zmartwychwstanie Pana. Od najwczeœniejszych czasów
Chrzeœcijanie czcili Dzieñ Pañski przez sprawowanie Eucharystii
danej nam przez Pana jako wieczysta pami¹tka Jego zbawczej
œmierci i zmartwychwstania. Eucharystia uobecnia sakramentalnie tajemnicê Paschy Pana ze œmierci do ¿ycia, a nasze uczestnictwo we Mszy œw. daje nam unikalny udzia³ w Misterium
Paschalnym. Nic dziwnego, ¿e Koœció³ uczy nas, ¿e Eucharystia
jest Ÿród³em i szczytem ¿ycia Koœcio³a, a Ojciec Œwiêty zaprasza
nas abyœmy siê na nowo zachwycili staj¹c w obliczu tak wielkiego
daru.
Liturgia jest tak wa¿na dla ¿ycia chrzeœcijañskiego, ¿e Koœció³
zawsze uwa¿a³ na to jak j¹ sprawowaæ. Teksty rytualne oraz
forma liturgii zmienia³y siê na przestrzeni wieków, chocia¿ podstawowe elementy liturgii pozostawa³y niezmienne. Sobór
Watykañski II (1962-1965) wprowadzi³ wiele zmian aby
pomóc Katolikom w celebrowaniu liturgii pe³niej i bardziej
œwiadomie. Lata posoborowe to czas wielkiej katechizacji
wiernych na temat znaczenia liturgii oraz zmian jakie nast¹pi³y.
Od tego czasu wyros³a nowa generacja Katolików nie znaj¹ca
¿adnej innej liturgii za wyj¹tkiem tej, któr¹ sprawujemy
niedziela po niedzieli, tydzieñ po tygodniu, sezon po sezonie.
Gdybyœmy mieli zatrzymaæ siê i zastanowiæ siê nad latami po
zmianach soborowych, musielibyœmy przyznaæ, ¿e znaczenie
i porz¹dek liturgii móg³by byæ niezauwa¿ony przez niektóre
osoby. W innych przypadkach, moglibyœmy zauwa¿yæ pewne
indywidualne cechy, które wkrad³y siê w sprawowanie
Eucharystii w danej parafii. W innych przypadkach, mo¿emy
uœwiadomiæ sobie, ¿e ju¿ czas przeanalizowaæ ten najwa¿niejszy
element ¿ycia katolickiego.
Odnowiona Instrukcja Ogólna
Niedawno Stolica Apostolska wyda³a zmiany w celebracji Mszy.
Zmiany te mo¿na znaleŸæ w odnowionym Mszale Rzymskim,
oraz w jego instrukcji pt. Ogólna Instrukcja do Msza³u
Rzymskiego (z ang. GIRM). Owe zmiany pojawi³y siê po wieloletnim doœwiadczeniu duszpasterskim u¿ywaj¹c Msza³u
Rzymskiego opublikowanego wkrótce po Soborze
Watykañskim II. Szanuj¹c ró¿norodnoœæ kultur w Koœciele
powszechnym, Stolica Apostolska zezwoli³a Krajowym
Konferencjom Biskupim na zaproponowanie pewnych zmian,
które uzna³y za stosowne dla danego regionu. Podczas gdy
zmiany s¹ stosunkowo ma³e œwiadcz¹ one o tym, ¿e liturgia jest
modlitw¹ ¿ywego Koœcio³a, a wiêc naturalnie bêdzie przechodziæ
przez pewne zmiany od czasu do czasu. Wydanie tych zmian
stwarza okazjê do odnowionej, rozszerzonej katechezy na temat
zrozumienia i praktyki liturgii, szczególnie Mszy œw. Nadzieja
jest w tym, ¿e Katolicy na ca³ym œwiecie bêd¹ mogli nauczyæ siê
modliæ liturgi¹ ca³ym sercem i bêd¹ mogli odnaleŸæ w liturgii
Ÿród³o swojej duchowoœci.
W nastêpnych tygodniach bêdziecie mieli mo¿liwoœæ ponownego
zastanowienia siê nad znaczeniem i wartoœci¹ liturgii w naszej
Tradycji Katolickiej. Zostaniecie zaznajomieni ze zmianami,
które znajduj¹ sie w Ogólnej Instrukcji do Msza³u Rzymskiego
(GIRM). Podczas gdy bêdziemy odœwie¿aæ wiadomoœci na temat
celebracji Mszy œw. sami bêdziecie mogli dowiedzieæ siê
o rzeczach, które braliœcie za oczywiste lub do których nigdy nie
przyk³adaliœcie uwagi. Celem owej katechizacji nie jest tylko
znajomœæ rubryk lub prawa liturgicznego, lecz spraw jakoœci
i integralnoœci naszej modlitwy, która musi na prawdê staæ siê
pierwszorzêdnym i niezast¹pionym Ÿród³em z którego czerpiemy prawdziwego ducha Chrzeœcijañstwa. W niektórych
parafiach wprowadzenie tych zmian bêdzie równie¿ zmian¹
ró¿nych aspektów zwi¹zanych z cotygodniow¹ celebracj¹
Eucharystii.
W innych parafiach zmiany mog¹ byæ prawie niezauwa¿alne.
Jedna z najbardziej znacz¹cych zmian dotyczy sposobu przyjmowania Komunii w naszym kraju. Biskupi Stanów
Zjednoczonych wyznaczyli akt czci wyznaczony w Normach,
którymi bêdzie sk³on g³owy przed przyjêciam Cia³a i Krwi
Chrystusa. Przez tê katechizacjê, gdy zastanowimy siê nad
zmianami w celebracji Mszy, nale¿y doceniæ mo¿liwoœæ, któr¹
przedstawia nam Koœció³. Jest to szansa dla ka¿dej parafii aby
zadaæ pytanie; “Czy jest to rzecz¹ oczywist¹, ¿e celebruj¹c
Eucharystiê w naszej parafii sprawujemy najwa¿niejsz¹ rzecz
w ca³ym tygodniu?”.
Niniejsza wk³adka zosta³a przygotowana w celu wprowadzenia odnowionej Instrukcji Ogólnej do Msza³u Rzymskiego, które bêdzie mia³o
miejsce w Archidiecezji Chicago od pierwszej niedzieli Adwentu, 30 listopada 2003. Jest ona napisana na podstawie materia³u udostêpnionego przez Sekretariat d/s Liturgii Amerykñskiej Konferencji Biskupów Katolickich, Inc. Washington, D.C. Prawa Autorskie © 2002.

News from the Women’s Center for October, 2003
October has been designated “Respect Life”
month. Since abortion was decriminalized, it
seems like all human life has been devalued.
Partial birth abortion is allowed and euthanasia is promoted in some circles. The selling
of aborted baby parts is a business. As a
nation, we really need to get back to the
moral principle that all life is sacred from
conception to natural death. The Women’s
Center is a pregnancy resource center which
helps women in difficult pregnancies. Each year
we enable about 2,000 women who feel abortion is
their only choice to choose to give birth to their babies. We
provide practical help including counseling, friendship,
food, clothing, baby furniture, referral services, etc. as
needed.
Volunteer Opportunities - Work at our Cicero Avenue
Family Room helping our clients pick up necessities for
their families free of charge. Sort clothes in the Family
Room. Help at our North Riverside counseling office. We
will have training sessions at our North Riverside office
for volunteers in our counseling offices on 11/8, 15 and
22. Call Kathy at 773-794-8807 concerning any of these
volunteer opportunities.
For people who wish to help us on a weekend, we will
have our Christmas wreath sale on November 29 and 30
and December 6 and 7. Our client Christmas parties are
December 20 and 22. We need your help with these
events. This would also be a good opportunity for
students who need service hours. Call Kathy at
773-794-8807 for details.
At the present time we are seeking donations of gently used sleepers, onesies, infant
undershirts, receiving and larger crib blankets,
girls and boys clothing (sizes 5 and up), maternity clothing and younger women’s large and
extra large clothing. Also needed are new baby
bottles, diapers, and toiletries-shampoo, soap, dish
soap and laundry detergent. Please call for our address
where these can be dropped off. We cannot accept used
toys at this time. The following are needed for our babies:
portacribs, infant car seats (for babies under 20 lbs.), baby
swings, double strollers, recent baby cribs, bumper pads,
crib sheets and crib mattresses. If you have or attend a
garage sale and buy any of these to donate, it would be
most appreciated. To help us by delivering any of these
items or to have them picked up call 773-794-1313.
We are having a half point sale in our Family
Resource Center from October 4th to October 10th. We
