This cross, that bears the image of Christ crucified on one side and bright brass jewels on the reverse, is the standard that marks our liturgical processions. It is carried with great reverence and solemnity because it is the visual proclamation of the Paschal Mystery that is at the heart of our Christian faith namely, the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The fractured torso is the ever present reminder that the Church, the Body of Christ, is still broken. The absent hand is an invitation for us to become the healing hand of Jesus as we continue his saving work. At this painful time in the history of our Church, we make atonement for the sins committed against the innocent by the Church’s shepherds. May all who gaze upon this cross recognize it as a sign of hope and a promise of that future when all brokenness will be transformed into that peace for which Jesus prayed.

A Message from our Pastor
Dear Parishioners, The following poem by Mary Oliver gives literary expression to the visible miracle in nature that we are all a part of at this this time of year and in the cycle of human life.
Lines Written in the Days Of Growing Darkness Every year we have been witness to it: how the world descends into a rich mash, in order that it may resume. And therefore who would cry out to the petals on the ground to stay, knowing as we must, how the vivacity of what was is married is married to the vitality of what will be? I don’t say it’s easy, but what else will do if the love one claims to have for the world be true? So let us go on, cheerfully enough, this and every crisping day, though the sun be swinging east, and the ponds be cold and black and the sweets of the year be doomed.
This mysterious and miraculous reality of life out of death that is so evident in the world of nature, is at the heart of our Christian faith. In theological jargon, we name it The Paschal Mystery. We celebrate this Mystery with the greatest solemnity in the life of Jesus, who, in the embrace of death, experienced the glorious life of resurrection. Thus, he gave new meaning to the multiple and varied experiences of death that punctuate our lives. These moments of “destruction” make possible for us the unimagined opportunities of creation and re-creation; out of darkness comes light; out of sadness comes joy; out of death comes life.
This conviction grounds many of the liturgical practices and customs in the Church and in religious folklore. One of these is the night watch, or the vigil. Vigils have been called the “night face of the Church.” (Holidays and Holy Nights by Christopher Hill) Their existence is derived from the ancient way of reckoning the day, that is, from sunset to sunset. This is still the manner of designating feast days within Judaism and various branches of Christianity, Catholicism and Orthodoxy most especially. It is an understanding that incorporates the preceding night into the day so that, rather than being an interruption in the observance, night is an essential part of it. In fact, in our most solemn observances, nighttime is when the actual transformative event is said to have occurred i.e.,
Christmas – the birth of the Savior at midnight, and Easter – the Resurrection of Christ. Vigils therefore, especially of major feasts, hold a place of unique honor in liturgical celebrations.
Page 3 October 28, 2018
Within popular piety and custom, we also recognize the significance of vigils, the vigil on All Hallows’ Eve (Halloween), for example. Observed more on streets and in homes than in places of worship, this night watch (Vigil), with roots in ancient Celtic practice, is one that reaches deep within our religious psyches. We know this is the case because it is so beloved by children. They are those among us who still possess an openness to the most primal instincts of faith. They are very much at home in the world of mystery, myth, ritual and metaphor. It is no wonder that Jesus invited his disciples to become like children if they hoped to experience the Kingdom of God.
And so as we prepare our yards and homes for the great Vigil on October 31st and supply our candy baskets with enough sweet treats for those night visitors who will present themselves at our doors in bizarre and frightening attire, let us remember that in many cultures, a stranger who came to one’s home at night could be an emissary from another world. This made nighttime a time of blessing and surprise. Let us always open the doors of our hearts to all the unexpected blessings that can come to us in the darkness, so that night will be less a time of fear and more of an invitation to trust and hope. Blessings,

Notes from Music & Liturgy
Solemnity of All Saints
The Solemnity of All Saints, Thursday, November 1st,
is a Holy Day of Obligation.
Masses will be celebrated at 6:30am, 8:15am, 12 noon, and 7:00pm.
Sing with Music Ministry for Christmas! Rehearsals for the Seasonal Choir will begin in November. The Seasonal Choir joins with members of the Parish Choir to provide music for the 10:00pm Mass (Solemn Liturgy) on Christmas Eve. Any interested parishioner – high school age or older – is welcome to participate. This is a great way to be part of Music Ministry for those who cannot make a year-round commitment. Watch this space – and the parish website – in the coming weeks for more details, as well as a rehearsal schedule. For additional information, please contact Jim Susic at 630-353-4529 or [email protected].
Memorialize a Hymnal November is traditionally a month, in our Catholic tradition, when we espe-cially remember all our beloved dead. As we approach this month, consider memorializing a hymnal in honor of someone who has passed to his/her eternal rest. This is a very nice way to
remember that individual, and it also calls upon all of us to remember our beloved dead. And, not only would you be praying for this individual, but anyone who opens that hymnal would see that individual’s name, and maybe also offer a prayer for him or her. Hymnals can be memorialized for any deceased person. A hymnal can also be dedicated in honor of someone still living, or in honor of a special event, such as a bap-tism, wedding, anniversary, or a special/milestone birthday. The cost to memorialize a hymnal is $20. Envelopes are available at the Resource Center, at the kiosk, and also at the parish office. Donation envelopes can be returned to the parish office, or they can also be returned in the offertory collection at our weekend litur-gies. For more information on memorializing a hymnal, please contact Jim Susic at 630-353-4529 or [email protected].
Readings for the Week Monday: Eph 4:32 -- 5:8; Ps 1:1-4, 6; Lk 13:10-17 Tuesday: Eph 5:21-33 or 5:2a, 25-33; Ps 128:1-5; Lk 13:18-21 Wednesday: Eph 6:1-9; Ps 145:10-14; Lk 13:22-30 Thursday: Rv 7:2-4, 9-14; Ps 24:1-6; 1 Jn 3:1-3; Mt 5:1-12a Friday: Wis 3:1-9; Ps 23:1-6; Rom 5:5-11 or 6:3-9; Jn 6:37-40 Saturday: Phil 1:18b-26; Ps 42:2, 3, 5cdef; Lk 14:1, 7-11 Sunday: Dt 6:2-6; Ps 18:2-4, 47, 51; Heb 7:23-28; Mk 12:28b-34
40 Days for Life seeks to witness to the sanctity of life by being a prayerful presence outside of loca-tions where abortions are per-formed. SJA will be participating in the campaign at Access Health Center, 1700 75th Street in Downers Grove from 7-8am every Saturday through No-vember 4. For more information, contact Vicente Fernandez at 630-353-4549 or [email protected].

Adult Faith Formation
Understanding the Scriptures for October 28, 2018 The second reading today is taken from the Letter to the Hebrews. Many scholars believe that Hebrews was written to comfort Christians during a time of persecution. However, others contend that it may have been written to Jewish Christians in Italy who were in danger of falling away from their faith. Whatever the exact reason for the creation of this letter, Hebrews remains a mas-terpiece in the New Testament. Its eloquence and scholarly insights highlight the depth of the author’s understanding of Christ and his fulfillment of the Old Covenant. In the second reading, the author focuses on presenting Jesus as the true high priest of the people. Four characteristics of a high priest are provided:
• He is taken from men. • He is appointed by God. • He is the people’s representative before God. • He offers gifts and sacrifices to God.
The author continues and says that no one takes this honor upon himself, for a priest must be called by God. In the Old Covenant, those from the tribe of Levi were called to be priests. Beginning from the worship of the golden calf at Mount Sinai, priests could only be selected from the Levites, because they stayed faithful to God while Moses was on the mountain. To claim that Jesus was the true high priest would have upset and angered many of the Jews because Jesus was from the tribe of Judah. The tribe of Judah was where Israel’s kings originated, but not the priests. Thus, the author sets out to answer how Jesus could be con-sidered the high priest. To demonstrate to the Jews how Jesus is the true high priest, the author cites Psalms 2 and 110. These two psalms are very significant because they were coronation psalms. When the successors of King David took the throne, these psalms were prayed at the ceremony. These psalms provide profound insight into the relationship between the new king and God. Psalm 2 emphasizes that the king is to be God’s son. “You are my son; this day I have begotten you.” In the literal sense, this meant that the successor of King David was considered an adopted son of God. Thus, the new king took on a new identity. However, Christ fulfills this psalm in the most dramatic way possible, because he is truly begotten of the Father. He is not an adopted son, but is the Son of the Father. While this is an amazing fulfillment of Psalm 2, we are still left with the question of Jesus’ priesthood. Psalm 110 states to the new Davidic king, “You are priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” The obvious question is: Who is Melchizedek and what has he to do with the priesthood? About three hundred years before the time of Moses, we encounter in the book of Genesis the mysterious figure of Melchizedek, who meets Abraham. Abraham’s nephew Lot and his family had been cap-tured by a warring group of kings. When news reached Abraham, he gathered together his men and battled these wicked kings, rescu-ing Lot and his family. After the defeat of these kings, a mysterious king-priest from Salem named Melchizedek came out of the city to meet Abraham. He offered a sacrifice of bread and wine to God and blessed Abraham, who then gave Melchizedek a tenth of every-thing seized in the battle. This was a tithe; thus, Abraham acknowledged Melchizedek as a true priest.
Approximately a thousand years later, Salem was conquered by King David and renamed Jerusalem. King David and his sons acted as priests, even though they were from the tribe of Judah. Therefore, if Jesus is the rightful heir of King David, whose throne has been vacant for almost five hundred years, he is indeed a priest and king. He possesses a much more ancient priesthood than that of the Le-vites.
The priesthood of Melchizedek is universal and pristine. It shows God’s original intent for the priesthood. Also, Melchizedek’s sacri-fice of bread and wine hearkens back to a more perfect sacrifice than the numerous animal sacrifices that were added to Israel’s system of worship.
Therefore, Jesus is the new King-Priest. He is a priest, not according to the law of Moses, but according to the ancient priesthood of Melchizedek. His priesthood is not based on his ancestry, but on the will and intention of the Father. This is why the Church offers the bread and wine in sacrifice to God. Animal sacrifices are no more, for the Levitical priesthood has ceased to exist. We have a new and eternal high priest who offered himself to the Father. This holy and living sacrifice is made present at each and every Mass through the most holy Eucharist. For questions about the Catholic faith or the Scriptures, please email Michael Lewandowski at [email protected].

St. Joan of Arc School
Upcoming Elections
With the midterm elections right around the corner, during social studies class our junior high students debated the topic of lowering the voting age to 16. Those in favor argued that 16-year-olds, who can drive, get a job, and pay taxes on their earnings, should have a say in government. In addition, with recent school shootings, supporters argued that younger people deserve to have a say at the polls. But opponents said 16-year-olds aren’t mature enough to make such decisions and perhaps don’t
know enough about the issues at stake to make an educated choice. The voting age was last lowered in 1971 with the 26th Amendment during the time of the Vietnam War. Proponents contended that because an 18-year-old could be drafted and possibly die while serving his country, he should have a say about who leads our country. Attitudes among middle-schoolers about changing the voting age were pretty evenly split between for and against, but students still participated in a mock election to select Illinois’ next governor. Only the two major candidates were considered – incumbent Republican Bruce Rauner and Democratic challenger J. B. Pritzker – and if St. Joan of Arc students are any indication, Rauner will win in a landslide, garnering 70 percent of the votes. For a historical reference, students also chose Donald Trump as our 45th president.
