Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your „TREASURE” with St. Ferdinand Parish

BÓG ZAPŁAĆ!

PLEASE REMEMBER ST. FERDINAND PARISH IN YOUR WILL.

“Everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33

When we first hear this statement, it seems that Jesus is making an unrealis c demand upon us. How can we renounce all of our possessions? We need them to live. However, what

we must renounce is the belief that they belong to us. Everything that we have belongs to God alone. All of our resources are entrusted to us not only for our own use, but

also so that we can help others.

We invite anyone able to help with the church cleaning. Please join us weekly on Mondays at 5:00 pm

and Fridays at 10:00 am. Thank you!

Sincere THANK YOU to all who give their me to keep our church clean. Thank you for your faithfulness and dependability. Please know

that your help is very much valued and appreciated.

TODAYISTHECANONIZATIONOFBLESSEDMOTHERTERESA Today Pope Francis will Canonize Blessed Mother Teresa in Rome during the Sunday Mass celebrated as part of the Jubilee for workers and volunteers of mercy. Mother Teresa's holiness is the primary reason she's being declared a saint on Sept. 4, but the canoniza on also has something to say on other levels -- about what mercy looks like in prac ce and about how to defend the faith from its cri cs. Today’s event it’s expected to be the largest public event of Pope Francis’ jubilee Year of Mercy. Her bea fica on in 2003 drew an es mated 300,000 people to St. Peter’s Square and the surrounding area, and organizers an cipate that turnout to be surpassed this me around.

On October 19, 2003, Pope John Paul II bea fied Mother Teresa of Calcu a, who died in 1997. The process leading up to the bea -fica on has been the shortest in modern history. In early 1999—less than two years a er Mother Teresa's death—Pope John Paul waived the normal five-year wai ng period and allowed the immediate opening of her canoniza on cause. In 2002, the Holy Father recognized the healing of an Indian woman as the miracle needed to bea fy Mother Teresa of Calcu a. That healing occurred on the first anniversary of Mother Teresa's death. It involved a non-Chris an woman in India who had a huge abdominal tumor and woke up to find the tumor gone. Members of the Missionaries of Charity, the religious order Mother Teresa founded, prayed for their founder's interven on to help the sick woman. "Her life of loving service to the poor has inspired many to follow the same path. Her witness and message are cherished by those of every religion as a sign that 'God s ll loves the world today,'" members of the Missionaries of Charity said in a statement a er Mother Teresa's bea fica on was announced. Since her death, they said, "people have sought her help and have experienced God's love for them through her prayers. Every day, pilgrims from India and around the world come to pray at her tomb, and many more follow her example of humble service of love to the most needy, beginning in their own families." In 2001, on the feast of the Assump on of Mary, officials closed the diocesan inquiry into Mother Teresa's sanc ty. The yearlong gathering of tes mony from those who knew Mother Teresa was the first major step in a typically long process. A year earlier, at an August 26, 2000, celebra on in Calcu a marking Mother Teresa's birth anniversary, Hindu, Sikh, and Muslim admirers joined in common prayers for her speedy canoniza on. A Holy Example In a 1981 interview, Mother Teresa spoke about another champion of the poor: St. Francis of Assisi. In a famous story of a turning point in Francis’ life, he encounters a leper by the side of the road and passes him by. Then he realizes that if he is going to devote his life to the poor he must embrace the leper—he must welcome him into his life as a brother. Francis then runs to the leper’s aid. Mother Teresa commented, "The encounter with the leper made St. Francis." So, too, it is Mother Teresa’s selfless encounter with the dying that made Mother Teresa. It is the calling of Chris ans to serve the poor, to make room at the table for everyone. Francis came to see that. He reveled in the foolishness of God who has special love for those whom most of us would rather avoid. Teresa learned that, too, during mid-life. She will be named a saint because she cleared away life’s clu er and allowed God to work through her in a powerful way. We should imitate her.

Hand-CarvedOliveWoodGiftsfromtheHolyLandProceeds benefit Catholic schools in the Holy Land. There are more than 600 Chris an families living in Bethle-hem 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 mis-sion 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 ap-proved by Archdiocese of Chicago, many Bishops, and from diocese of Jerusalem. Pleasetakealookatthesebeautifularticleson

Siostry Misjonarki Miłości przedstawiły ośmiodniowy program obchodów, których hasłem są słowa: „Nosicielka czułej i miłosiernej miłości Boga”, wpisujące się w trwający w Kościele Jubileusz Miłosierdzia.

ON HYPERBOLE? — Copyright 2015 by John B. Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com)

My sister and her husband came up from Springfield, IL for a visit this past weekend. More correctly, Mary and John came to Chicago to see their son Jeff and his wife Pa y and their li le boy Walden (twenty-two months), who were all in town from Colorado. Jeff was here to see an old high school buddy, and everything just came together. Albeit at the expense of a few other things on our calendar--specifically, a friend’s BBQ on Saturday and my home church’s annual parish picnic on Sunday--my wife and I got to spend me with all of our loved ones. And as an added bonus, our daughter Sarah--who has visited Jeff , et. al. when they lived first in Anchorage and more recently in suburban Denver--found me in her busy Chicago-Triathlon-connected weekend to join us for pizza on Saturday night and for some wonderful Lincoln Park-ville Greek fare on Sunday a ernoon. In truth, I enjoyed every minute of our shared meals, conversa ons, and adventures. And yet… “If anyone comes to me without ha ng his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.” This is how today’s Gospel begins, with Jesus dropping the bombshell on the large crowd travelling with him. He goes on: “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come a er me cannot be my disciple.” Then Jesus throws in a few things that at first don’t seem to connect with his opening. For example, “Which of you,” Jesus asks, “wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its comple on?” so that the investor can complete

the project. “Or what king marching into ba le,” he next asks, “would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops?” so that the first king has me to nego ate peace. As I’ve wri en before in this space, I’m no theologian, but I think these references, while ini ally confusing, come down to this: discipleship is not something we can do halfway. We’re either in, or we’re out. We either build the tower, or we go home. And yet (x2), Jesus also says, “Anyone of you who does not renounce all of his possessions cannot be my disciple.” So…is this hyperbole, or does the King of the Universe really mean it? I just spent two wonderful days at home and locally with loved ones, and under my breath more than once, I thanked God for the opportunity. Do I tell Gail and Sarah, Mary and John, and Jeff, Pa y and Walden all now, “Yeah, it’s been a slice…” then head off to a monastery for the rest of my days? Right or wrong, I think not. Right or wrong, I think my job now is to keep caring for them and loving them and doing what I can--even with all of my shortcomings and faults--to build up the King’s Kingdom. Per the late management consultant Peter Drucker, “Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.” Hopefully with the people we love--but without them, if need be--may we plan every day to follow the Christ. And on our best days, live the plan.
