A Prayer for the Armed Forces
Almighty God, stretch forth Your mighty arm to
strengthen and protect the men and women of our Armed
Forces. As they face the myriad of challenges and decisions that each day is destined 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, meeting danger with courage, and all occasions with discipline and
loyalty, they may truly serve the cause of justice and
peace to the honor of your holy name, through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen
May God keep you safe!
Daniel Guziec

Remember in Prayer
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:

From the Pastor:
As we continue our Lenten reflections on the seven capital or deadly sins, today we focus on avarice and lust.
The word "avarice" comes from the Latin avarus, meaning “greedy" or "to crave." The Catholic Encyclopedia defines avarice as
"the inordinate love for riches. Its special malice, broadly speaking, lies in that it makes the getting and keeping of money, possessions, and the like, a purpose in itself to live for. It does not see that these things are valuable only as instruments for the conduct of
a rational and harmonious life, due regard being paid of course to the special social condition in which one is placed. It is called a
capital vice because it has as its object that for the gaining or holding of which many other sins are committed. More so it should be
dreaded in that it often cloaks itself as a virtue, or insinuates itself under the pretext of making a decent provision for the future. In
so far as avarice is an incentive to injustice in acquiring and retaining of wealth, it is frequently a grievous sin. In itself, however,
and in so far as it implies simply an excessive desire of, or pleasure in, riches, it is commonly not a mortal sin."
In our culture, avarice may take the form of "consumerism." Consumerism is the tendency to buy or consume more than we really
need. Shopping malls are everywhere and they have huge department stores and supermarkets where we can buy almost any item
imaginable. We may buy many of these items more because we want to rather than because we need to do so. We buy the latest
fashions in clothes and shoes, CD's, home furnishings and various knick-knacks and bric-a-brac that fill our homes, then our closets,
basements, attics and garages.
In the Gospel, Jesus was critical of the rich man who built larger grain bins to store up his bountiful harvest for years to
come: "God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life shall be required of you. To whom shall all this piled-up wealth of your
go?' That is the way it works for the man who grows rich for himself instead of growing rich in the sight of God." (Lk 12:20-21)
Before we make that next impulsive purchase and ask ourselves if this is something we really need, or could the money be used for
something more important.
Lust is one of seven deadly sins related with sexual human behavior as adultery, fornication, pornography, prostitution,
rape, homosexuality, masturbation.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that lust is "disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure" (#2351). Sexual pleasure is morally disordered when it is sought for itself, separated from its morally legitimate purposes,
namely, the procreation of children and the expression of marital love between husband and wife.
This sin can be committed in flesh as well as in heart. Jesus says that "if a man lusts after a woman he has already committed adultery in his heart" (Matt. 5:28). Purity of heart is important because our thoughts and desires lead to words, and words lead to actions.
If we want to avoid acting out in ways that are immoral, and if we want to live a life of virtue, the place to start is with the desires of
our hearts.
Ultimately, only the Holy Spirit can satisfy the deepest desires of our heart. It is God's grace that turns our hearts away
from sin and fosters a deep desire and longing only for the Supreme Good. So we have to decide where we want our hearts to be
focused, because "where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Matt. 6:21).
I wish you a happy Sunday and a blessed rest of the week.
God bless you!
Fr. Jason Torba
First Things First. First Him then all else!
Stations of the Cross — not everyone can go to the Holy Land and rewalk the steps Jesus took
as part of His Death and Resurrection but all of us are given the gift of the Stations of the Cross at
Our Church. It is a chance to relive what our God did for us then and apply it to what He is doing
for us now. It is a powerful way for us to be in touch with what must be ‘real’ in our Lenten
Journey. Please forgive my directness, but everything else can wait, no excuses; the beer will still
be cold, the fish will still be good, errands for another time.This has traditionally been very well
attended and should remain so. He does not leave us and so we cannot leave Him. 5:30 pm in the
Church, Friday Evening Stations in English — God’s blessings are free, no coupon needed!

ALL ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THE LENTEN MISSION IN ENGLISH
March 19th Monday
8:00am Mass & 7:00pm Mass
March 20th Tuesday
8:00am Mass & 7:00pm Mass
March 21st Wednesday 8:00am Mass & 7:00pm Mass
Please join us for the Lenten Mission in English March 19th - 21st. Fr. Gerald Grupczynski will be the celebrant of the
Masses and his homilies will be discussing the issues of being a Christian/ Catholic today: the importance of the sacraments; understanding Christ's message to us in the Gospels; and taking time to let God into our busy lives.
Who is Fr. Gerald R. Grupczynski?
(pronounced: group-chin-ski) Fr. Gerry grew up in Wyandotte, Michigan, a city about 10 miles south of Detroit near
the Canadian border. He graduated from Wayne State University in Detroit in 1979. Fr. Gerry was ordained in Wyandotte, Michigan in 1988 after completing his studies at the Major Seminary of the Society of Christ in Poznan, Poland.
He was assigned as an associate pastor to parishes located in the cities of Toledo, OH, Philadelphia, PA, and Los Angeles, CA. Currently, he is the pastor of Five Holy Martyrs Parish here in Chicago, since 2001.
Why should you come to the English Lenten Mission? Lent is a time to slow down and reflect. Can you do this at
home? Yes, you can, but it is harder. Coming to church allows you to concentrate. It filters out the distractions of
phones, radio and TV.
Church allows you to communicate with God and let Him communicate to you.
Make some quiet time for yourself this Lenten season to reflect on what it means to be a Christian/Catholic in 2007.
Join us for the English Lenten Mission with Fr. Gerry Grupczynski. You’ll be glad you did.
A free will offering will be collected at the Wednesday Masses.
Refreshments will be served:
Wednesday after the 8:00am Mass in Mc Manus Hall
and after the 7:00pm Mass in Canning Hall.

Słowo od Proboszcza
Kontynujemy naszą wielkopostną refleksję na temat siedmiu grzechów ciężkich, czyli śmiertelnych. Dzisiaj zwróćmy
uwagę na grzech chciwości i nieczystości.
Słowo „chciwość” pochodzi od łacińskiego słowa avarus, co znaczy rzeczownikowo „zachłanny” lub czasownikowo
„usilnie coś pożądać”. Encyklopedia katolicka definiuje chciwość jako „nadmierne umiłowanie bogactw. Szczególnie ich zło,
ogólnie mówiąc, zakłamanie tkwi w tym co powoduje uzależnienie od pieniędzy, środków materialnych i upodobanie w nich, przez
co stają się one celem życiowym samym w sobie. Wtedy te dobra nie są wartościowe dla człowieka jako środki do prowadzenia
życia rationalnego i harmonicznego w danych warunkach, w których przyszło nam żyć. Dlatego to zachowanie nazywa się wadą
główną, ponieważ jest to przyczyna, która powoduje czynną możliwość do popełniania innych ciężkich grzechów. Tym bardziej
należy obawiać się takiej postawy, która pod pretekstem zabezpieczenia na przyszłość lub starość, zgromadzenia jak najwięcej
rzeczy i dóbr materialnych uważa chciwość jako rodzaj cnoty. Chciwość jest grzechem ciężkim, ponieważ jest pragnieniem do
niesprawiedliwego nabywania i gromadzenia bogactw. Zarówno wada ta sama w sobie jest grzechem, ale także pociąga za sobą
niepohamowane pragnienia i przyjemności, które potocznie nie uważa się za grzechy ciężkie.”
W naszej kulturze, chciwość może także przyjąć formę „konsumpcjonizmu.” Konsumpcjonizm jest tendencją do
kupowania i konsumowania więcej niż rzeczywiście tego potrzebujemy. Wielkie centra handlowe mają tak zorganizowaną sieć
sklepów, że rzeczy są bardzo łatwo dostępne do kupienia, a wręcz powodują w człowieku presję, aby je nabyć. Dlatego często bez
namysłu kupujemy nie dlatego, że jakąś rzecz potrzebujemy, ale dlatego, że ją chcemy. Często kupujemy najnowsze ubrania, buty,
sprzęt elektroniczny, meble oraz inne przedmioty, które potem zalegają w naszych domach, szafach, piwnicach, strychach i
garażach.
W Ewangelii Jezus skrytykował bogatego człowieka, który zbudował duże spichlerze, aby zgromadzić całe swoje zbiory i
dobra na przyszłe lata: „Bóg rzekł do niego, ‘głupcze, jeszcze tej nocy, zażądają twojej duszy od ciebie. Komu więc przypadnie to,
coś przygotował?’ Tak dzieje się z każdym, kto skarby gromadzi dla siebie, anie jest Bogaty przed Bogiem.” (Łk 12, 20-21)
Przy następnych zakupach zanim podejmiemy decyzję kupienia czegoś pomyślmy najpierw dwa razy i zapytajmy samych siebie,
czy rzeczywiście tę rzecz potrzebujemy, a może by użyć te pieniądze na coś bardziej wartościowego.
Nieczystość jest jednym z siedmiu grzechów ciężkich dotyczącym sfery życia seksualnego człowieka. Związana jest z
wszystkim grzechami cudzołóstwa, rozwięzłości, nierządu, pornografii, prostytucji, homoseksualizmu, gwałtu i masturbacji.
Katechizm Kościoła Katolickiego mówi, że „nieczystość jest nieuporządkowanym pożądaniem lub nieumiarkowanym korzystaniem
z przyjemności cielesnych” (#2351). Przyjemność seksualna jest moralnie nieuporządkowana, gdy szuka się jej dla niej samej w
oderwaniu od jej moralnie uzasadnionych intencji, mianowicie zrodzenia dzieci i wyrażenia miłości małżeńskiej pomiędzy mężem i
żoną.
Ten grzech może być popełnionych nie tylko cieleśnie, ale także w sercu. Jezus powiedział, że „jeśli mężczyzna pożądliwie
patrzy na kobietę, już się w swoim sercu dopuścił z nią cudzołóstwa” (Mt 5, 28). Czystość serca jest ważna, ponieważ nasze myśli i
pragnienia prowadzą do słów, a słowa do czynów. Jeśli chcemy uniknąć czynów na drogach, które są niemoralne, i chcemy
prowadzić życie cnotliwe, to miejscem rozpoczęcia takiego zachowania są pragnienia naszych serc.
Ostatecznie tylko Duch Święty może zaspokoić najgłębsze pragnienia naszego serca. To łaska Boża odwraca nasze serca od grzechu
i sprzyja głębokim pragnieniom i tęsknotom za Najwyższym Bogiem. Tak więc musimy się zdecydować gdzie chcemy, aby nasze
serca były zwrócone, ponieważ „gdzie jest skarb twój, tam będzie także serce twoje” (Mt 6, 21)
Życzę Wam miłej niedzieli i błogosławionego tygodnia.
Szczęść Boże!

Droga Krzyżowa odprawiana jest w każdy piątek Postu
o godz. 7:00 wieczorem.
Nabożeństwo Drogi Krzyżowej swój początek bierze z Jerozolimy. Z
czasem zaczęto w całym kościele wznosić stacje męki Pańskiej.
Wierni obchodząc je rozważają cierpienie Zbawiciela, który pomimo
bólu i cierpienia modlił się wędrując z krzyżem na ramionach. Na tej
drodze jesteśmy z Jezusem złączeni przez krzyż. Krzyże naszego
życia kładziemy na krzyż Chrystusa. Jego cierpienia i nasze chcemy
złożyć Bogu. Drogę Krzyżową poprowadzą poniżej wymienione
organizacje:
16 marzec — Polska Katolicka Szkoła
23 marzec — Zespół „Radość”
30 marzec — Zespół „Serduszka”
Serdecznie zapraszamy na Nowennę

ON THE OSCARS, JENNIFER HUDSON, AND LENT
Copyright 2007 by John B. Reynolds ([email protected])
Disclaimer No. 1: I did not watch the recent Academy
Awards extravaganza. Disclaimer No. 2: I have not see the
movie Dreamgirls (but my buddy Andrew did and he said it was
terrific…). Disclaimer No. 3: I haven’t followed the career of
Jennifer Hudson after she was voted off American Idol three
years ago. But I’ve read enough newspaper accounts and heard
enough electronic media coverage to appreciate that this young
woman is somebody special, so perhaps I’d better start paying
attention. And why not? Besides all of the hoopla surrounding
her at the moment, she’s still a local girl, and we here in Chicago at least--regardless of where in the city we find ourselves-can all call her our very own. She went to Dunbar Vocational
for goodness sake. She’s a real person with a real voice, and
Jennifer’s popularity has taken root because that’s the way she
comes across, even in an industry known at times for raising the
shallow and the marginally talented to super-stardom. To quote
a phrase I don’t hear much anymore, “You go, girl…”
A few days back, the Chicago Tribune published an op-ed
letter from “Deni in Philly.” Per the letter-writer, “When I saw
(Dreamgirls) the day after Christmas, I got up and yelled in the
theater that (Jennifer Hudson) was going to be nominated for
best supporting actress and that she would win…” And of
course, she did. But what people seem to like most about Jennifer is her humility. She’s sky-rocketed to the top of her game,
yet she comes from humble beginnings, and this appears to not
be lost on her. Just listen to her acceptance speech when she
received the hardware: “Oh my God, I have to just take this
moment in. I cannot believe this. Look what God can do. I didn’t think I was going to win…” It’s been written that modesty is
the best bait when one goes fishing for compliments. Maybe.
But I don’t think Jennifer Hudson is fishing for anything. I
think she’s sincere, and that’s the magic of her.
So I was speaking with my wife about all of this the other
day, and she said that there is actually a Lenten element to the
Jennifer Hudson story. I asked her how so. Gail said that we rise
to glory from humble beginnings over these forty days, just like
Jennifer Hudson rose from humble beginnings to the Oscar. I
told Gail that I understand the Jennifer Hudson part, but that I
wasn’t seeing the Lenten part. She said that we all start out on
Ash Wednesday from the very humblest of beginnings--by being told that we are dust and that into dust we shall return--and
that then, through the glory of Christ’s resurrection, we know
that we, too, shall rise--gloriously--in the fullness of time. Deni
closes the Tribune letter about Hudson saying, “I am so happy
for her.” We should all be so happy for each other as we hit the
mid-way point of Lent, because my wife is dead-on about the
Lenten element, and Jennifer Hudson got it right way more than
she knew: “…I cannot believe this. Look what God can do….”
