Fourth Sunday of Lent

St. Joseph Church, 7240 W. 57th St., Summit, Illinois

Jesus Healed the Blind Man

On this Fourth Sunday of Lent, we hear the story of the healing of the man born blind. As Jesus was walking through Jerusalem, he saw a man who was born blind. The blind man cannot see, but he can speak. So he cries out to Jesus for assistance. How Jesus heals this man, in today’s Gospel, is very interesting and important. Jesus could have uttered a command: “Be healed!” Jesus healed many people in this way. However, not this time. This time, we hear how Jesus spits in the dirt, makes a paste of mud, and smears it on the eyes of the blind man, commanding him to wash off the paste in the Pool of Siloam. What must the blind man and the crowds have thought about these strange actions of Jesus? Why did Jesus choose to heal the blind man in this way? In the Book of Genesis, we read how God made the dust of the earth, and from the dust of the earth God formed the first man, which He saw as very good. Jesus’ incorporation of the dust of the earth, recalls the creation of the first man, and Jesus’ use of His spittle and dust to heal the man born blind shows how God is now

refashioning His creation anew. Scriptures tell us God’s creation is good, and Jesus’ actions reveal how God can use His creation for salvation.

God is so comfortable with the physical world that God allows himself to be united to it forever, when the Divine Word become flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary. The physical body of Jesus is a visible sign of what can’t be seen: His glorious divinity. Jesus’ body makes visible and present that invisible divinity.

In this way, we can call Jesus as the Sacrament of God. Remember the definition of a sacrament? A sacrament is an outward, physical sign of an inward, spiritual divine grace. From the body of Jesus goes forth divine power to heal many people. Yet, sometimes, the Lord wanted to use other earthy realities to contain and transmit His life-changing power and grace. There isn’t anything more earthly than mud!

If God can use mud to heal the man born blind, why can’t God use other created realities to transmit His saving grace? Why can’t God choose to use water, bread and wine, and oil? What Jesus does for the man born blind is a sign of the whole sacramental economy of the Church he established. Physical symbols come to contain what they symbolize and transmit what they contain. This is what God does through the Seven Sacraments of the Church. This is not brand new. It is prefigured and prepared for in the Old Testament. Special oil called chrism is carried by the prophet Samuel to the town of Bethlehem to be used in the anointing of a new king. In today’s First Reading, we hear how Samuel anoints Jesse’s youngest son David as king. The smallest and seemingly weakest of the sons of Jesse is anointed with this oil, and from that moment, the power of the Lord rushed upon David, turning this shepherd into the first Lion of Judah (1 Sam 16). This prefigures the Sacrament of Confirmation, where the weak will be made soldiers of Christ, sharing in Church’s kingly mission of bringing all things into subjection to the King of Kings. The sacraments do not just symbolize, but actually transmit the power and grace of God that they contain. In the Gospel today, we see Jesus healing the man born blind through the use of mud (an earthly reality/sign); in the Seven Sacraments, Christ continues to communicate His divine life and grace to us through these earthly, sacramental realities/signs. Thank you to all who helped with our St. Joseph Day celebration last week. Thank you to all our musicians and lectors for sharing their gifts at Mass. A special thank you to Betty Koran, our kitchen all star Tom Koran, all the volunteers from Ladies of the Rosary, Holy Name Society, the Polish and Hispanic community, school students, and all volunteers for helping with the dinner in the hall. This Tuesday, we will have our Lenten Reconciliation Service at 7pm. Confessions will be available in English and Spanish. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Good Help, help us with her maternal care and St. Joseph pray for us.

Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!

Fr. Bob’s Briefs

En este Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma, escuchamos la historia de la curación del ciego de nacimiento. Cuando Jesús estaba caminando por Jerusalén, vió a un hombre que había nacido ciego. El ciego no puede ver, pero si puede hablar. Así que clama a Jesús por ayuda. La forma en que Jesús cura a este hombre, en el Evange-lio de hoy, es muy interesante e importante. Jesús pudo haber pronunciado una orden: "¡Curaos!" Jesús ha sa-nado a muchas personas de esta manera. Sin embargo, no en esta ocasión. Esta vez, escuchamos cómo Jesús escupe en la tierra, hace una pasta de barro y lo untó sobre los ojos del ciego, le dijo “Ve a lavarte a la piscina de Siloé.” ¿Qué pudo haber pensado el ciego y las multitudes acerca de estas extrañas acciones de Jesús? ¿Por qué Jesús escogió sanar al ciego de esta manera? En el libro del Génesis, leemos cómo Dios hizo el polvo de la tierra y del polvo de la tierra Dios formó al pri-mer hombre y Dios lo vió como muy bueno. La incorporación del polvo de la tierra, recuerda la creación del primer hombre y el uso de Jesús de su saliva y polvo para curar al hombre nacido ciego, muestra cómo Dios

está ahora remodelando su creación de nuevo. Las Escrituras nos dicen que la creación de Dios es buena y las acciones de Jesús revelan cómo Dios puede usar su creación para la salvación. Dios se siente tan cómodo con el mundo físico que se permite estar unido a él para siempre, cuando el Verbo Divino se hace carne en el vientre de la Virgen María. El cuerpo físico de Jesús es un signo visible de lo que no se puede ver: Su gloriosa divinidad. El cuerpo de Jesús hace visible y presente esa divinidad invisible. De esta manera, podemos llamar a Jesús como el Sacramento de Dios. ¿Recuerdas la definición de un sacramento? Un sacramento es un signo externo, físico, de una gracia divina interna y espiritual. Del cuerpo de Jesús sale el poder divino para sanar a mu-chas personas. Sin embargo, a veces el Señor quería usar otras realidades terrenales para contener y trans-mitir su poder y gracia. No hay nada más terrenal que el barro!

Si Dios puede usar el barro para sanar al hombre que nace ciego, ¿por qué Dios no puede usar otras realidades creadas para transmitir su gracia sal-vadora? ¿Por qué Dios no puede usar agua, pan, vino y aceite? Lo que Jesús hace por el hombre ciego de nacimiento, es un signo de toda la economía sacra-mental que estableció la Iglesia Los símbolos físicos llegan a contener lo que simbolizan y transmiten en lo que contienen. Esto es lo que Dios hace a través de los Siete Sacramentos de la Iglesia. Esto no es nuevo, está prefigurada y preparada en el Antiguo Testamento. El aceite especial llamado crisma es llevado por el profeta Samuel a la ciudad de Belén para ser usado en la unción de un nuevo rey. En la primera lectura de hoy, oímos cómo Samuel unge a David el hijo menor de Isaí, como rey. El más pe-queño y aparentemente más débil de los hijos de Isaí es ungido con este aceite y a partir de ese momento, el poder del Señor se precipitó sobre David, convir-tiendo a este pastor en el primer León de Judá (1 Sam.) Esto prefigura el Sacramento de la Confirmación, donde los débiles serán soldados de Cristo, participando en la misión real de la Iglesia de someter todas las cosas al Rey de Reyes. Los sacramentos no sólo simbolizan, sino que realmente transmiten el po-der y la gracia de Dios que contienen. En el Evangelio de hoy, vemos a Jesús curando al hombre nacido ciego mediante el uso de barro (una realidad terrenal/signo); En los siete Sacramentos, Cristo continúa comunicando su vida y gracia divina a través de estas realidades/signos sacramentales terrenales. Gracias a todos los que ayudaron en nuestra celebración del Día de San José la semana pasada. Gracias a todos los coros y lec-tores por compartir sus dones en la Misa. Un agradecimiento especial a Betty Koran, a nuestra estrella de cocina de todo el mundo Tom Koran, a todos los voluntarios de las Damas del Rosario, a la Sociedad del Santo Nombre, a la comunidad polaca e hispana, a los estudiantes de la escuela, y todos los voluntarios que ayudaron con la cena en el salón. Este martes, tendremos nuestro Servicio de Reconciliación Cuaresmal a las 7pm. Habrá confesiones en inglés y español. Que la Santísima Virgen María, Madre de Buena Ayuda, nos ayude con su cuidado materno y San José ruegue por nosotros.

Vivat Jesus! ¡Viva Jesús!

Informes del Padre Bob

W dzisiejszą ostatnią niedzielę Wielkiego Postu słuchamy opowieści o człowieku niewidomym od urodzenia. Niewidomy głośno woła Jezusa, chcąc przykuć Jego uwagę. Z Ewangelii dowiadujemy się, w jaki sposób Mesjasz uleczył tego mężczyznę. Zrobił to inaczej niż w przypadku poprzednich chorych. Nie powiedział choremu, że został uleczony, lecz zmieszał odrobinę błota z własną śliną i położył tę „maseczkę” na oczy mężczyzny. Następnie, Pan polecił niewidomemu zmyć to błoto w sadzawce Siloe. Co o tym wszystkim myślał zgromadzony tłum i dlaczego Pan uleczył niewidomego mężczyznę w taki sposób? W Księdze Rodzaju czytamy o tym, jak Bóg stworzył ziemię, z ziemi uczynił pierwszego człowieka i wiedział, że to było dobre. Błoto użyte w dzisiejszej scenie przez Pana stanowi

nawiązanie do stworzenia pierwszego człowieka. Z kolei zmieszanie błota ze śliną Jezusa symbolicznie wskazuje na Boga odnawiającego Swoje dzieło. Pismo Święte potwierdza, że Dzieło Boże jest dobre, zaś Jezus pokazuje nam, jak może się ono przysłużyć zbawieniu ludzkości. Cały fizyczny świat jest dziełem Boga. On sam również do niego przynależy, odkąd Słowo stało się Ciałem w łonie Maryi. Ciało Jezusa jest widomym znakiem Jego niewidzialnej, boskiej natury. Chrystus przez Wcielenie ujawnia tę boskość światu. Z tego względu, Jezusa można by nazwać „Sakramentem Boga”. Sakrament zaś jest to „obrzęd religijny rozumiany jako widzialny znak lub sposób przekazania łaski Bożej”. Z Ciała Chrystusa płynie boska moc, która uzdrawia ludzi. Czasami jednak Pan, do przekazania Swojej zbawczej łaski, wykorzystuje inne rzeczy istniejące na stworzonej przez Siebie ziemi. A nie ma chyba nic, co by bardziej do ziemi należało, niż błoto! Jeżeli Bóg potrafi za pomocą błota uzdrowić niewidomego, równie dobrze mógłby użyć w tym celu wody, chleba, wina i oliwy. Cud uzdrowienia niewidomego jest przykładem „sakramentalnej gospodarki” Kościoła. Rzecz fizyczna zmienia swoją naturę i stając się przekaźnikiem Bożej Łaski, nabiera cech cudotwórczych. Dokładnie tak samo jest w przypadku Sakramentów Świętych. Nie jest to żadna nowość, bowiem wspomina o tym już Stary Testament. Prorok Samuel niesie do Betlejem specjalny olej, zwany Krzyżmem Świętym. Zostanie nim namaszczony nowy król. W dzisiejszym pierwszym czytaniu, Samuel namaszcza Dawida (najmłodszego syna Jessego) na króla. Najmłodszy i wydawałoby się, najsłabszy syn Jessego zostaje namaszczony Krzyżmem. Od tej pory spływa na niego Boża moc oraz łaska, dzięki czemu pasterz Dawid staje się pierwszym „Lwem Judei” (1 Księga Samuela 16). Jest to zapowiedź Sakramentu Bierzmowania, w którym słabi zostaną namaszczeni na żołnierzy Chrystusa, którzy przyprowadzą wszystkich do Króla Królów. Sakramenty są nie tylko zewnętrznym symbolem Łaski Bożej, ale i jej faktycznym przekaźnikiem. W dzisiejszej Ewangelii widzimy, jak mężczyzna niewidomy od urodzenia odzyskuje wzrok dzięki ziemskiemu symbolowi, jakim jest błoto. W Sakramentach Świętych, Pan stale ukazuje nam cząstkę Swojej boskiej natury właśnie przez rzeczy ziemskie, fizyczne. Dziękuję wszystkim, którzy w zeszłym tygodniu przyczynili się do organizacji święta naszego Patrona: Świętego Józefa. Bóg Zapłać muzykom i lektorom, którzy podczas Mszy podzielili się z nami swoimi talentami. Szczególne podziękowania należą się Betty Koran; naszemu kulinarnemu guru: Tomowi Koranowi; paniom z Kółka Różańcowego; członkom Stowarzyszenia Najświętszego Imienia Jezus (Holy Name Society); członkom naszej społeczności polsko- i hiszpańskojęzycznej; uczniom z naszej szkoły oraz wszystkim ochotnikom, którzy pomogli serwować dania w sali kościelnej. W najbliższy wtorek o 7:00 wieczorem, wszyscy chętni będą mogli przystąpić do Sakramentu Pojednania. Vivat Iesus! Chwała Jezusowi!
