THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD:

Consecration Through Sacrifice

It is considered one of the “Joyful Myster-

ies,” but the Presentation of the Lord in the

Temple is complex. It has layers of mean-

ing. In the Eastern Church, it is called

Hypapante or the Feast of Encounters. It is

a meeting of the Old and the New, the ful-

fillment of prophecies. There is much more

before us than an old man and an old wom-

an admiring a baby! Like Israel itself, aged

Simeon and Anna have been waiting for a

glimpse of the Messiah. Faithful and vigi-

lant, they have observed the Law and antici-

pate a new age of light and glory. In their

encounter, Simeon and Anna recognize that

that age has begun.

But for all the joy that is present at the mo-

ment of Simeon’s encounter with the Lord,

there is a new prophecy of pain and sorrow.

When Simeon speaks to Mary, he predicts:

“Behold, this child is destined for the fall and

the rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign

that will be contradicted - - and you yourself

a sword will pierce - - that the thoughts of

many hearts may be revealed.”

Thus, even in the joy of the encounter there

is sorrow. When the Divine Infant comes

into “His Father’s House” for the first time,

there is a foreshadowing of the passion, a

sacrificial victim and redemption.

There is also a beginning and an end. The

Old Temple is destined for destruction.

The New Temple of Christ’s Body is to be

sacrificed on Calvary and be raised up for

eternity! Were it not for Simeon’s prophe-

cy, it would be easy to look upon the

Presentation as a conventional moment of

triumph . . . a consecration with surrogate

sacrifice.

What Joseph and Mary did for Jesus - - pre-

senting Him in the Temple - - was in com-

pliance of the Law.

“Every male that opens the womb shall be

consecrated to the Lord.”

Faithful Jews “presented” their first-born to

God. They sacrificed their live-stock and

“bought back” their sons. The ritual recalls

how, during the final days of Israel’s cap-

tivity, Egypt’s firstborn sons and animals

died at the hands of the “exterminating an-

gel.” Israel’s firstborn were spared. They

were freed. . . redeemed by God.

In the “presentation” ceremony, animals

were sacrificed. That was the “price” of

redemption. In Leviticus 5 and Leviticus

12, the sacrificial “substitutes” to “buy

back” a son were either a year old lamb or

a pair of turtledoves or pigeons. The lamb

was the gift of the wealthy. The doves

were the offering of the poor.

We see in the sacrificial offering of Joseph

and Mary that theirs was an offering of the

poor. One dove was offered in adoration,

the other for sin. The future of Jesus - -

especially His Passion and Death - - is an-

ticipated here. His Death for the sins of

the world is the ultimate sin offering: His

worshipful love and obedience to the Fa-

ther’s Will are perfect adoration.

The humble sacrifice of Mary and Joseph at

the Presentation and the awesome sacrifice

of the Cross should teach us a simple

truth. What we have is not our own. It is

God’s gift. We are stewards, not owners of

creation!

FIRST FRIDAY ADORATION

First Friday Adoration and Devotions dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and

the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the

healing and guidance of our nation will be

on February 7th, 7:00 – 10:00 p.m. in

Church. We will pray the Patriotic Rosary,

the Divine Mercy Chaplet, the 20 mysteries

of the Rosary, and conclude with Benedic-

tion. Come spend an hour or two or three

with the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament and

assist our nation with the power of prayer.

CONFERENCE: NEW WORLD POPE

The Center for World Catholicism and Intercultural

Theology at DePaul University invites you to a

conference “New World Pope: Pope Francis and

the Future of the Church on February 7 & 8. The

event is free and open to the public but advance

registration is required. Among the distinguished

speakers are: Francis Cardinal George, Andrea

Tornielli (author of Francis: Pope of New World”,

Francesa Amrogetti & Sergio Rubin (authors of

Pope Francis: His Life in His Own Words). For

more information or to register call 773/325-1865.

As we prepare for To Teach Who Christ

Is, we should keep this truth in mind. We

should also remember that our offerings

should reflect what we have been given.

Thus, an appeal to our generosity

acknowledges that there cannot be equal

gifts. But in doing our best - - in being

generous - - there can be equal sacrifices.

Sacrifice is an essential part of consecra-

tion. We consecrate, in the way the widow

with her small coins contributed to the

Temple treasury. She did not sacrifice

what should could spare, but what she had

to live on!

-Fr. Luczak

available Tuesday,

St. Vincent de Paul Ministry 2013 Report to Parish

Amen I say to you: Whatever you did for one of the least

of my brethren, you did it for me. Matthew 25:40

During the past calendar year, with the support of your donations, the St. Vincent de Paul Ministry was able to continue its work on behalf of the needy within our community. The cases continued to grow more complex. We find ourselves helping more and more with non-food assistance such as rent, temporary housing expenses, medical expenses, utility bills, transportation expenses and communications expenses. These types of cases tend to be more time consuming and require greater due diligence on behalf of our volunteers. They also put greater demands on our financial resources. All in all, we handled 157 cases during 2013, many of which required considerable follow up. Last year we lost our valued partners at the Four Flags Jewel store when it closed. Jewel management and employees had helped us with discounts on our holiday food baskets and had even donated several baskets. We miss them and fondly remember their generosity. It was a challenge to find a new vendor for these activities, but we were able to continue these important programs. Food donations from generous parishioners—some of them anonymous—helped greatly:

During Easter week, we delivered 16 food baskets. Most of the food was purchased from other Jewel stores.

During Thanksgiving season, we delivered 18 food baskets, most of which we purchased from Meijer.

During Christmas season, we delivered 15 food baskets, 14 of which were donated—along with toys—by the Morton Grove

Fire Department. The Morton Grove Fire Department has partnered with us for several years on this program. Every year they astound us with their generosity. However, this year they outdid themselves. Led by Firefighter Erik Miller, the MGFD put to-gether the biggest food baskets we’ve ever seen. The gifts for the children were also sensational, even including winter jackets. Additionally, we distributed turkeys and gift certificates that were donated by parishioners.

Forty-five parishioners participated in our Giving Tree events at Glenbridge Nursing & Rehabilitation, Niles Nursing & Rehabilitation and Golfview Developmental Center. We believe it was the biggest turnout ever. Our food pantry continues to be a welcome source of can goods, cereals, pasta, tuna fish and other nourishing staples for many of our clients. The food collection at the Song of Mark performance was so abundant that we cancelled the traditional Thanksgiving food drive. For the third year in a row we have augmented our stock of non-perishable items with frozen chicken that was generous-ly shared with us by OLPH.

Other ministry assistance activities included the following during 2013:

Assisted by other parishioners, we provided and served food at Catholic Charities in Des Plaines on two occasions, feeding approximately 160 people.

We contributed to the Archdiocesan relief effort following the typhoon in the Philippines.

We delivered the leftover St. Joseph Table food to the Carmelite Convent in Des Plaines and the Holy Spirit Convent in Glen-

view.

Bite-size spiritual formation (prayer/discussion/readings) was incorporated into the group’s monthly meetings and a special session was held to discuss ―Serving the Poor: Theology of Practice and Ministry.‖

We added prayer cards and a selection of spiritual readings to the resources that are available for members handling client

cases.

We helped eight SIJ families in need to pay Catholic education tuition expenses.

In an effort to improve communications to the parish community, our Secretary, Joyce Mills, published 22 articles in the bulletin

about the ministry.

Page Seven The Presentation of the Lord February 2, 2014

As the demands for our assistance shifts from food to more complex requirements, we have spent much time and dis-cussion on the topic of outreach versus stewardship. We are committed to pursuing our mission, but we strive to do it in a way that manifests good stewardship of the donations you entrust to us. We have reviewed and revised our guide-lines as situations have changed and as we have gained experience dealing with the various challenges. We will continue to prioritize this topic in 2014. We added four new members during 2013. If you think you might be interested in participating in this critically important work of helping those in need within our community, please contact the parish office. One of our members will get back to you to discuss joining our ministry. On behalf of the ministry and all those who received assistance, thank you for your donations and your prayers. With-out your continuing support, we would not be able to continue this work. Peace, Joe DeSario

THE ROAD TO GOD There is but one road to lead us to God—humility; all other ways would only lead astray, even were they fenced in with all virtues. —Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION By Candlemas, forty days after Christmas, February 2, the season of Christ’s coming has depleted our candle supply. Soon, the parish will order a new paschal candle from a catalogue or candlemaker, or in some communities, wax will be collected to be melted and molded. Last year’s paschal candle shows the wear and tear of summer heat, or many funerals or baptisms. Paschal candles have been around since at least the fourth century, when Constantine’s biographer Eusebius reported that the night of the sacred vigil was ―transformed into the brilliancy of day, by lighting throughout the city pillars of wax, while burning lamps in every place so that the splendor of this night was brighter than the brightest daylight.‖ Light was a precious commodity in the ancient world, and this lavish use of precious beeswax was a sign of the Christian’s call to bear Christ’s light into the world’s darkness. In a pre-electric age, a whole city aglow from the paschal flame must have been a glorious sight, and a reminder to every baptized Christian of our vocation to ―be the light of the world.‖ —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

arrangements each week. Your name and intention will be listed in the Bulletin. The cost of a flower arrangement will be $50. Af-ter Pentecost, Altar Flowers will be available from the weekend of June 15th through Thanksgiving Day, November 27th. Dates
