Dear Parishioners, As we begin the Fourth Sunday of Lent, I thought it might be good to review the three-fold disciplines of the season: Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving. Prayer – In prayer, we always have to remember that God speaks to us first. He does so in nature, scripture, the Mass, and through the people of our lives. A good friend tries to listen closely, as we try to listen to our God who calls us friend. Sometimes we get distracted, and that can disturb us. Some of these thoughts are just that; we need to recognize them and then move on. Some persistent “distractions” are really God's voice trying to tell us something. Our prayer then is to ask God to help us find their meaning. Fasting – By now most of us have fallen from our prom-ise to give up this or that! Some of us think, “Wow, is it the fourth week of Lent already? Well, it's too late, I'll just eat that chocolate cake and maybe next year!” Re-garding this matter, I try to encourage everyone ask themselves where they're at on the journey. Some of us need to get going for we have been very la-zy! Others, perhaps, would be better off relaxing a bit. All the denials and fasting during Lent are to help us rec-ognize all our blessings and to point us to a greater love of God and our neighbor, especially the poor. In all this we should take time to pray over what God is telling us about our life with him. That's what really mat-ters! Almsgiving – Remember the widow who gave from her want? Giving is not based on what's left over. Giving is not a hobby to make ourselves feel good. If we don't open our pocket book, our faith can just become ideas, things we do but don't cost us security. The challenge for all of us is to be really honest about our giving; time, talent and, yes, treasure. Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are really faith questions. All are meant to simply be an inspiration to realize God's love and mercy for each one us – the worthy and the un-worthy. Congratulations to Father Piotr Samborski on being named administrator of St. Mary of the Woods Parish in Chicago (Edgebrook). (Please see his letter on page 7) I know you join me in wishing him well and keeping him in your prayers as he prepares for this new responsibility

beginning July 1st. Father Piotr is a kind and thoughtful priest who will gen-erously serve the parishioners of St. Mary of the Woods. I'm so happy for him! We'll plan a farewell party in June but before he leaves us. Join in the excitement and joy that he is experiencing. God bless you Father Samborski! I know that many of you will ask if another priest will be assigned to our parish. While the number of Associate Pastors available are very few, presently only eleven for the whole Archdiocese, we will try to invite someone to join us. This decision is usually made in mid-May. Pray for all involved during this time of transition. Father Mike Meany

Drodzy parafianie, Rozpoczynając czwartą niedzielę Wielkiego Postu, pomyślałem, że może warto sobie przypomnieć o trzech dyscyplinach tego okresu jakimi są: modlitwa, post i jałmużna. Modlitwa - W modlitwie zawsze musimy pamiętać, że Bóg przemawia do nas pierwszy. Czyni to poprzez naturę, Pismo Święte, Msze Święte a także przez ludzi z naszego życia. Dobry przyjaciel próbuje uważnie słuchać, podobnie gdy staramy się słuchać naszego Bo-ga, który nazywa nas przyjacielem. Czasami jesteśmy rozproszeni, a to może nam przeszkadzać. Niektóre z tych myśli są właśnie takie; musimy je rozpoznać i przejść dalej. Niektóre uporczywe „rozproszenia” są naprawdę głosem Boga, który próbuje nam coś powiedzieć. Modlimy się wtedy prosząc Boga, aby pomógł nam odnaleźć ich znaczenie. Post - Do tej pory większość z nas może odeszła od obietnic i rezygnacji z tego lub tamtego! Niektórzy z nas myślą: „Wow, czy to już czwarty tydzień Wielkiego Postu? Cóż, jest już za późno, to po prostu zjem to ciasto czekoladowe i może spróbuje w przyszłym roku! ”Odnośnie tej kwestii, staram się zachęcić wszystkich do zadawania sobie pytań, gdzie w tej chwili są na tej dro-dze?


Niektórzy z nas muszą tak iść, bo ogólnie rzecz biorąc byliśmy bardzo leniwi! Być może inni woleliby trochę się zrelaksować. Wszystkie wyrzeczenia i post podczas Wielkiego Postu mają nam pomóc rozpoznać nasze błogosławieństwa i wskazać nam na większą miłość Bo-ga i naszego bliźniego, zwłaszcza ubogiego. W tym wszystkim powinniśmy poświęcić czas na modlit-wę nad tym, co Bóg mówi nam o naszym życiu z Nim. To naprawdę się liczy! Jałmużna - Pamiętasz wdowę, która dała wszystko co miała? Dawanie nie zależy od tego, co zostało. Dawanie nie jest hobby, które sprawia, że czujemy się dobrze. Jeśli nie otworzymy naszej kieszonkowej książki, nasza wiara może stać się ideą, rzeczą, którą robimy, ale nie kosztuje nas nic. Wyzwaniem dla nas wszystkich jest bycie naprawdę uczciwym w kwestii dawania; czas, talent i ofiara. Modlitwa, post i jałmużna to naprawdę pytania o wiarę. Wszystko ma być po prostu inspiracją do realizacji Bożej miłości i miłosierdzia dla każdego z nas - godnych i niegodnych. Gratulacje dla księdza Piotra Samborskiego, który został mianowany administratorem parafii St. Mary of the Woods w Chicago (Edgebrook). (list na stronie 14). Wiem, że przyłączacie się do mnie, życząc mu dobrego samopoczucia i utrzymując go w modlitwie, podczas jego przygotowań do tej nowej odpowiedzialności od 1 lipca. Ks. Piotr jest miłym i troskliwym kapłanem, który hojnie służyć będzie parafianom z St. Mary of the Woods. Jestem z niego dumny! W czerwcu planujemy imprezę pożegnalną, ale zanim nas opuści, przyłącz się do emocji i radości, których doświadcza. Niech cię Bóg błogosławi ks. Samborski! Wiem, że wielu z was zapyta, czy inny kapłan zostanie przydzielony do naszej parafii. Chociaż liczba dostępnych wikariuszy jest bardzo niewielka, obecnie tylko jedenastu dla całej Archidiecezji, postaramy się zaprosić kogoś do przyłączenia się do nas. Decyzja ta jest zwykle podejmowana w połowie maja. Módlcie się za wszystkich zaangażowanych w tym okresie przejścia. Ks. Mike Meany

The Anointing of the sick Our Parish will be celebrating this special encounter with God on Satur-day, April 13 at 10:00 am Please attend if you feel that at this time in your life you need God’s tender care.

Anointing of the Sick Liturgy As Roman Catholics we have always believed in and practiced the anointing/healing of the sick. Jesus healed people according to the scriptures as found in (James 5:14-15): “Is there anyone sick among you? He should ask for the presbyters of the church. They in turn are to pray over him, anointing with oil in the Name of the Lord. This prayer uttered in faith will reclaim the one who is ill, and the Lord will restore him to health.” We cordially invite you, family, and care givers to attend this Mass and Sacrament.

An Awesome Musical Creation

St. Matthew Passion Sunday, March 31, 2019, 3:00 pm

St. John Brebeuf Church What, you’ve never been to the LIVE AT SJB Concert Series at St. John Brebeuf, now in its sixth year? That’s like living in Chi-cago and never tasting a deep-dish pizza, or never going to a Cubs or White Sox game. You live in the same town and never heard a note? What will you tell your grandchildren? Even they know about this wonderful series. You owe it to yourself to take part in this cultural event, quickly approaching. Bach’s St Matthew Passion tells of the last two dramatic days of Christ’s life leading to His crucifixion and is performed around the world near the time of Easter, in keeping with its history and story. In preparation for more than 3 months and with two or-chestras and two choruses performing, it will be a powerful per-formance and this highlight of LIVE AT SJB Concert Series cal-endar is not to be missed. In the Middle Ages Christian churches began observing Holy Week by retelling the story of Christ’s crucifixion in music. Bi-ble verses were set to chant melodies, with St Matthew Passion culminating in one of the most ambitious musical compositions of all time. Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) composed his St Matthew Passion for the 1729 Good Friday service at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, Germany. The story of the Passion begins in the tur-moil of Jesus’s last days in Jerusalem and ends with his crucifix-ion and burial. The bleak drama is brought to life by Bach’s mu-sical expression of the Christian tenets of love, grace, and salva-tion. Perhaps Bach’s most personal work, it often moves from a moment of violent operatic drama to a solo aria, frozen in time, an utterance from deep inside the soul. Bach divided the music into two parts. Highlights of part one

include the Last Supper and the betrayal and arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. In part two, the music turns darker and softer, signaling the inevitability of the story, as it depicts the trial, crucifixion and burial of Jesus. The Passion ends with the darkly textured chorus, "In tears of grief." Bach could leave his parishioners in a sorrowful mood, knowing that they'd be cele-brating Christ's Resurrection in just a few days. The Passion begins with an immense wave of sound--an opening chorus constructed of an interlocking double choir with a chil-dren's chorus soaring over top--building with intensity and sweeping the listener into the drama. Bach built his Passion from choruses both small and large, with arias for specific characters. The Evangelist, a role for tenor voice, is the principal storyteller and narrator, moving the drama along through a kind of half sung, half spoken recitative. Supporting Bach's massive structure are three grand choruses—at the beginning, middle and end—standing as tall pillars, holding up the surrounding music. The St. Matthew Passion was written for a single purpose—to present the biblical passion story, in music, at Good Friday ves-per services. Bach's Passion continues to move audiences more than 280 years after it was first heard in St. Thomas's Church in Leipzig, Germany. Standing as one of the pillars of Western sa-cred music, it is at once monumental and intimate, revealing lay-ers of meaning in the text, deeply sorrowful and powerful, and surprises abound.

Serdecznie zapraszamy, jeśli czujesz, że w tym momencie w swoim życiu potrzebujesz Bożej opieki. Jako katolicy, zawsze wierzyliśmy i praktykowaliśmy namaszczenie/uzdrawianie chorych. Jezus uzdrawia ludzi według Pisma Świętego, jak to zostało przekazane (Jakub 5: 14-15): ”Choruje ktoś wśród was? Niech sprowadzi kapłanów Kościoła, by się modlili nad nim i namaścili go olejem w imię Pana. A modlitwa pełna wiary będzie

dla chorego ratunkiem i Pan go podźwignie, a jeśliby popełnił grzechy, będą mu odpuszczone.” Serdecznie zapraszamy was, rodziny i opiekunów, aby uczestniczyć we Mszy św. w Sobote, 13 kwietnia, 2019 o 10:00 rano.

SJB CHILDRENS CORNER SJB Children’s Liturgy of the Word

Children's Liturgy of the Word continues to grow as more children are joining us for this special worship experience. The Liturgy is geared especially for children ages 6-10. It is a special opportunity for children to understand and appreciate Scripture at Sunday Mass at 10:45 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Polish Mass. Basically, after the opening prayer (Collect), the children are invited to come for-ward with two adult Catechists and go to the Music Room in church to participate in their own Liturgy of the Word.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word offers an experience for children to hear Scripture in words they understand and to share their own understanding of God’s word. The children return to the main parish assembly for the Liturgy of the Eucharist. We warmly invite all children in the parish to par-ticipate in the Children’s Liturgy of he Word. All parents, please encourage your children to join when the clergy invites them to come forward to hear the good news of the Lord. The Children’s Liturgy of the Word ministry will continue until June of 2019. We welcome all of our children ages 6-10 to partici-pate!

Not many people realize the significant role that George S. May and his Tam O'Shanter Country Club played in popularizing the sport of golf in America. May was able to draw some of the most competitive fields of the era by offering tournament prize purses that were 5-10 times more than other professional tour stops. His World Championship of Golf tournament in 1953 was the first to ever be televised nationally. Viewers across the country were treated to a thrilling finish, as Lew Worsham holed out from 104 yards on the final hole of competition to win by a single stroke!

Dear Father Meany and Parishioners of St. John Brebeuf,

Thank you so much for organizing a holiday collection this past Christmas to benefit the Senior Services Program at Marillac St. Vincent Family Services. Your group’s efforts are an especially helpful and meaningful way of allowing us to fulfill our mission to strengthen, empower and give voice to those in need. We are so grateful to you! For your records, the parishioners of St. John Brebeuf donated to the Senior Program 25 wrapped gifts. St. John Brebeuf has a long and proud history of connection and support of Marillac St. Vincent. Your enthusiasm and commitment to MSV has helped us care for so many of Chicago’s most vulnerable individuals at time of year when families feel acutely the pressure to provide.
