Remember in Prayer
Our Stewardship
of Treasure
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.

A Prayer for the Armed Forces
Almighty God, stretch forth Your mighty arm to strengthen and
protect the men & women of our Armed Forces. As they face the
myriad of challenges and decisions that each day is des ned to
bring, may they be anchored by their faith, protected by Your presence and comforted by the knowledge that they are loved by You
and by this community of faith. Grant that, mee ng danger with
courage, and all occasions with discipline loyalty, they may truly
serve the cause of jus ce and peace to the honor of your holy
name, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

World Mee ng of Families Catechesis Series
The USCCB Secretariat of Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth is excited about the World Mee ng of Families (WMOF)
being held in Philadelphia in September 2015. They are presen ng a series of short ar cles focused on the WMOF
Catechesis Love is our Mission: The Family Fully Alive and its implica ons for our daily lives.
All Love Bears Fruit
Frui ulness is part of the very defini on of love: “It is the nature of love to overflow, to be life-giving” (USCCB, Marriage: Life
and Love in the Divine Plan, p. 13). True love is never closed in on itself, seeking its own interests. Instead, love goes out, seeking the good of the other.
This truth about love – that it is always frui ul – is par cularly meaningful for married couples like me and my husband, who
have not, so far, been blessed with children.
Every child is a living, breathing, walking, talking billboard proclaiming loud and clear: “Love Is Frui ul! Marriage Is Frui ul!”
According to St. John Paul II, children are a “living reflec on” of their parents’ love (Familiaris Consor o, no. 14). And yet a
child – the “supreme gi ” of marriage – is not the only fruit of married love.
In fact, the first fruit of marriage is the marriage bond itself (World Mee ng of Families catechesis, no. 105). When my husband and I said “I do” on our wedding day, a new family was born. In that moment, we were no longer two individuals, but
became a union – a “we” – shaped by and also striving toward God’s own way of loving: total, faithful, and frui ul.
What does the frui ulness of a childless marriage look like? In many ways, the same as that of a marriage with children: spousal love expressed in many different ways, such as forgiving each other a er being hurt, making small daily acts of generosity,
praying together, affirming each other, and opening our home to those in need of community.
One difference is that we are rela vely more available for acts of service and hospitality than are couples raising children
(WMOF catechesis, no. 103). For example, my husband and I look a er an elderly widow without local family. We bring her
groceries every week and check in frequently. And we’re involved in various ministries in our local church. Could we do this if
we had children? Possibly. But the fact is, our me is not taken up (rightly) by the needs of children. And on the flipside, we
need people to serve, to live out our marital frui ulness in concrete ways!
And then there is the profound, and o en hidden, frui ulness of suffering. Every marriage – and every person – will travel
through the “valley of tears” at some point. The world may say that suffering is sterile, but Jesus teaches us the opposite:
“Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit” (Jn
12:24). Jesus also said, “Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit” (Jn 15:5). True sterility, then, is not the absence of children; it is the deliberate closing off of one’s marriage from the frui ulness of the Holy Spirit and openness to the
will of God.
May we all live “in ac ve readiness for God’s will” as it unfolds in our own lives (WMOF catechesis, no. 102) so that we can be
the “rich soil” ready to receive the word of God “with a generous and good heart” and bear much fruit: “a hundred or sixty or
thirtyfold” (Mt 13:8).

Hand-Carved Olive Wood Gi s from the Holy Land
Proceeds benefit Catholic schools in the Holy Land.
There are more than 600 Chris an
families living in Bethlehem and are
completely dependent on carving
olive wood figurines for their livelihood. The recent clashes in the
Middle East have stopped the tourism industry in Bethlehem, causing
most of those families serious harm
in earning their living and forcing
many of them to leave their homeland. Emptying the land of Christ
from Chris ans can have tragic consequences on the Holy sites. Issam
from “Star of Bethlehem Group”
came to the United States with a
mission to help those families by
selling their beau ful religious hand
cra s. The cost of goods goes to
benefit the Chris an carvers to
keep them working in the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, the profit from sales goes directly to the needy
Catholic schools and clinics in the Holy Land. Star of Bethlehem has been approved by Archdiocese of Chicago, many
Bishops, and from diocese of Jerusalem.
Please take a look at these beau ful ar cles on September
12th& 13th.
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 states that the hospital
cannot provide a list when we come o visit our parishioners.
And even if they do, pa ents that come to the hospital
through the Emergency Room never get their “parish” listed
— it’s not one of the emergency ques ons. Even though hospital personnel can call the parish at the pa ent’s request, it
is best for the pa ent or a family member to call the rectory.

Narodowe Siły Zbrojne były
formacją ideowo-wojskową
Narodu Polskiego o
charakterze katolickim i
patriotycznym powstałą 20
września 1942 r., NSZ były
największą organizacją zbrojną
obozu narodowego w
podziemiu
niepodległościowym podczas II
wojny światowej. Jako jedyna
formacja zbrojna od początku
swej działalności, jeszcze w
czasie wojny walczyła z
dwoma okupantami –
Niemcami i Związkiem
Sowieckim.
Ich stosunek do Sowietów i
bezkompromisowy
antykomunizm zaważyły na
późniejszych negatywnych
ocenach tej formacji w okresie
PRL i początkach III RP.

ON BEING OPEN. AND OPENED
Copyright 2015 by John B. Reynolds ([email protected])
We have an adult ed program at my parish called Faith for all Seasons. Here, we bring in speakers four mes per year to address
topics we hope our community--and the community-at-large--can
relate to. We’ve discussed end-of-life issues, faithful ci zenship,
and the changes in the Mass prayers. We’ve discussed the Catechism, papal encyclicals, and the Bap st. And just a few weeks ago,
we discussed ways to reach out to friends and family who’ve le
the church (the general topic always reminds me of a Cardinal
George observa on once that--given the decreasing number of
regular church-goers--one might argue we have plenty of priests,
just not enough Catholics).
I arrived early that night to make sure the doors were unlocked and
the microphone worked and the air-condi oning had a chance to
cool things down a bit. My friend Cindy (our hospitality chair) got
there early to get the coffee going and to plate up some brownies
and cookies and cakes she’d picked up at a local market. All of this
up-front work was pre y much accomplished by 6:30 PM, then
Cindy and I cha ed about this and that and hoped for a decentsized crowd come the 7:00 PM start me. We got about fi een
people. I wanted more, but as our speaker, Fr. Nick Monco, OP
later reminded me, Jesus asked Peter to feed his sheep, not count
them… Per his bio, Fr. Nick “was born and raised in Chicago. A er
studying philosophy and economics at Claremont McKenna College
in California, he joined the Dominicans (Order of Preachers). A er
further prepara on at the Aquinas Ins tute of Theology in St. Louis, he was ordained to the priesthood in 2013. Fr. Nick currently
serves as a theology teacher at Fenwick High School in Oak Park,
IL.” As I men oned when I introduced him, he looks like he’s about
fi een. Nonetheless, he gave an engaging, studied talk, saying at
the start that to evangelize, we have to be in rela onship with God
ourselves, and concluding that ul mately, we need to be pa ent
and “Let God do his thing.”
I think of this advice as I consider today’s readings. Per the Lord
through Isaiah, “Fear not” for God will free us from our ills: our
eyes will be opened, our ears will be cleared, our infirmi es will be
made whole. Let God do his thing. James reminds us next that God
chooses “the poor in the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the
kingdom that he promised to those who love him.” Let God do his
thing. And Jesus--the embodiment of Isaiah’s vision--demonstrates
this in the flesh when people bring him a deaf man with a speech
impediment and ask for healing. It’s one of my favorite passages in
the Book because I love the blessing/command that Jesus speaks
over the man a er touching him and looking up to heaven:
“Ephphatha!”, or “Be opened!” Doesn’t this precisely sum up Fr.
Nick’s talk? Whatever holds us in fear--be it a past sin, or a priest
who wronged us thirty years ago--now is the me to return to
Christ. Now is the me to be open. And opened. Now is the me to
stay in faith (for all seasons), and just let God do his thing.
