Everyone is encouraged to participate in celebrating this great day. October 5, 2003 Twenty-seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time Page Three 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. Father Cortesi 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.

Page Four Twenty-seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time October 5, 2003 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.

Page Six Twenty-seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time October 5, 2003 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 Henryk Sienkiewicz pisa³, ¿e “Dobroæ serca jest tym, czym ciep³o s³oñca: ona daje ¿ycie”. Takiej dobroci doœwiadczy³am bardzo wiele podczas tych piêciu lat pobytu w Parafii œw. Ferdynanda. I za t¹ dobroæ pragnê Wam wszystkim serdecznie podziêkowaæ. Gor¹ce podziêkowania sk³adam ks. Proboszczowi David Cortesi, Ksiê¿om, moim wspó³siostrom i Wam drodzy parafianie. Mój pobyt tutaj by³ szczególnie zwi¹zany z Polsk¹ Katolick¹ Szko³¹ i zespo³em “Kropeczki”. Wspomnienie o Was bêdzie nieustannie mi towarzyszy³o. Z wami wszystkimi spêdzi³am wiele radosnych chwil. Niech Pan Bóg wam za nie wynagrodzi udzielaj¹c wszelkich potrzebnych ³ask. Z modlitw¹ sr. Katarzyna Zaremba, Misjonarka Chrystusa Króla. 12 paŸdziernika 2003 Kó³ka Ró¿añcowe przy parafii œw.

Wszystko jest wiadome i ods³oniête przed oczami Stwórcy, a w tym Boskim œwietle widzi Ona wszystkie gro¿¹ce nam niebezpieczeñstwa i lituje siê nad nami serce macierzyñskie tej s³odkiej i ³askawej Pani...” (Kazanie VIII b³.

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.

Free Parking. www.centreeast.org. October 5, 2003 Twenty-seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time Page Nine 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.
