ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO
OFFICE OF THE ARCHBISHOP
Spring 2016
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
On Mother’s Day, each of us will have an opportunity to join in the Church’s sacred mission of charity
through our donations to Catholic Charities Mother’s
Day Collection. Funds raised from the collection will
be used to help struggling families and individuals
living right in our own communities.
With 150 programs at 164 locations throughout Cook
and Lake Counties, Catholic Charities annually
serves more than one million poor and vulnerable
people of all ages, races, religions and economic
backgrounds. Catholic Charities helps people overcome the challenges of poverty, hunger, homelessness, joblessness, mental illness, abuse, and aging.
Low-income families, at-risk children, courageous
veterans, and vulnerable seniors rely on Catholic
Charities for food, clothing, shelter, and a host of
other services.
Mother’s Day is the one day set aside for Catholic
Charities to request the financial support of each of us
in the parishes. Please show your support for the
great mercy of the Church by contributing to Catholic
Charities during the second collection, or make your
donations directly to Catholic Charities at 721 N. LaSalle St., Chicago, IL 60654, or
www.catholiccharities.net/donate. Now is a particularly important time for us to give generously, as
Catholic Charities must contend with the repercussions of the Illinois state budget crisis, which has
placed tremendous financial stress on their ability to
serve the poor and vulnerable.
During this Jubilee Year, let us take up the Pope’s
challenge to bring the transformative power of God’s
infinite mercy into our world. Working together, we
can raise up our brothers and sisters in need, providing compassion and concrete support to propel them
to a new life filled with hope and dignity. Many
thanks for considering a gift to Catholic Charities.
May God bless you and your families.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Revered Blase J. Cupich
Archbishop of Chicago

hope you can join us.
Tuesday, May 10, 2016 @ 7:00 PM
Topic: “The Catholic Climate Covenant: Calling
Catholics to Care for Creation”
Presented by: Dr. Mark Potosnak
Hosting Parish: St. William Church
About The Topic: Why are Catholics called to care
for creation? What does the Catholic Church teach
about the moral aspects of climate change and environmental issues? What solutions to the problem of
climate change resonate with this Catholic perspective? DePaul University Environmental Science and
Studies professor and Ambassador for the Catholic
Coalition Covenant Dr. Mark Potosnak seeks to answer these questions.
About the Speaker: Dr. Mark Potosnak is an associate
professor in the Department of Environmental Science
and Studies at DePaul University. Dr. Potosnak’s scientific training is focused on interactions between
plants and the atmosphere, and in particular the role of
climate change in this interaction. Dr. Potosnak has
degrees from Harvard and Columbia Universities, and
he was in the Advanced Study Program at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Dr. Potosnak
has been trained as a Climate Ambassador for the
Catholic Climate Covenant, and in this role he brings
his scientific understanding together with his faith life
as a Catholic.
A small reception will follow discussion!
MAY CROWNING-MAY 15th
Catholics have long honored the
Blessed Mother by placing a crown on
her image. Crowning a statue of the
Lord's Mother is symbolic of the honor
we give her as the one chosen by God
to bear His Son, our Salvation.
We will crown Our Blessed Mother in song and
prayer on Sunday, May 15 immediately following the
12:00 mass. Please join us as we process through and
around the Church in song and prayer and Crown our
Lady to celebrate this beautiful tradition.

MEDYTACJA AD IEDZIEL Ą EWA GELIĄ
6 iedziela Wielkanocna – Miłość i pokój ucznia
1. Zachowywać naukę Jezusa. Pan Jezus mówi apostołom, że oczekuje od nich miłości, która ma się wyrazić w
przyjęciu Jego słowa i wprowadzaniu go w życie. Kto czuje się kochany przez Jezusa, ten ma głębokie przekonanie, że
Jego nauka wypływa z miłości i jest dzieleniem się Jego mądrością. Kiedy stosujemy ją w naszym życiu, wówczas
pozwala nam ona realizować pełnię naszego człowieczeństwa. Czy nauczanie Jezusa jest dla nas przejawem Jego
miłości i czy wprowadzamy je w życie w przekonaniu, że jest to nasza życiowa mądrość?
2. Wewnętrzny auczyciel. Jezus obiecuje apostołom Ducha Świętego, który będzie im przypominał to wszystko, na
co patrzyli, będąc z Jezusem. Duch Święty będzie ich w ten sposób prowadził pouczając, jak konkretnie stosować
Jezusowe nauczanie w codziennym życiu. To właśnie On odkrywa aktualność Ewangelii w każdej ludzkiej sytuacji.
Będąc swoistym Artystą, chce w nas odtworzyć obraz Jezusa Chrystusa. Jeżeli pójdziemy odważnie za Jego
natchnieniem, stopniowo rysy Jezusa pojawiać się będą w naszym życiu. Jak odczytujemy natchnienia duchowe, które
uczą nas zastosowania Ewangelii w życiu?
3. Dar Chrystusowego pokoju. Świat współczesny przekonuje, że pokoju można zażywać tylko wtedy, gdy wszystko
rozwija się pomyślnie i gdy nie spotykamy się z przeciwnościami. Jednak pokój, jaki daje świat, jest niezwykle kruchy i
nietrwały. Zawsze możemy natomiast trwać w pokoju, jeżeli tylko ufamy słowom Jezusa, który zapewnia, że daje nam
swój pokój. Pokój którego źródłem jest sam Duch Święty, co potwierdza życie świętych, którzy nie gasili ducha nawet
w trudnych doświadczeniach. Także w nas Duch Święty może wprowadzać ów pokój, którego nie będą w stanie
zniszczyć ani życiowe burze, ani ciężkie chwile duchowe. Co zazwyczaj odbiera nam pokój wewnętrzny? Czy opieramy
swoje serce na Bożych obietnicach? Zaczynamy maryjny miesiąc maj, więc razem z Matką Bożą prośmy o „Moc z
Wysoka” przed Zeslaniem Ducha Swietego!
