But the silence can be their prayer.” Taking some time for silence can have a trickle-up benefit for parents, too, according to Rex Rempel. “Of course, quiet is a victory in and of itself,” Rempel says with a laugh. “But we as grownups are often not very good at listening to God.” God speaks to us in the silence, to kids and adults alike.

Sunday Reflections for
the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sept. 26, 2010
Next week, God’s Word again calls us to consider what we do with our money. First the prophet Amos and then Jesus address the fate of those whose wealth insulates them from caring for those with less. First Timothy describes how a disciple is to live in order to “[l]ay hold of eternal life” (1 Timothy 6:12).
BRIDGING THE GAP
St. Luke describes the heartlessness of the rich man in terms of him not willing to share his meal. It is not that the rich man did any-thing wrong to Lazarus, he simply did not do the good he could have. This is called a sin of
omission. When the rich man dies, he is pun-ished by being sent to hell. The poor man is sent to heaven. At the end we hear that God would not send any messengers to warn the brothers of the rich man. God told the rich man through the law and the prophets. We should not expect to receive miraculous ap-pearances or utterances. We already have all we need in Scripture.
You received what was good. Lazarus what was bad; now he is comforted, whereas you are tormented (Luke 16:19-31).
If anyone is the prophet of the punch line, it is Amos. He travels up from the south to preach to the people of the northern kingdom of Israel and he pulls no punches. “Woe to the compla-cent,” he begins, and then in a quick series of brush strokes lets them know how God sees them: lying upon their beds, stretched out on
their couches, eating their tender lamb and calves, drinking fine wine while the music plays and they anoint themselves with the best oils. Then, the punch line: they shall be the first to go into exile. The party is over! In a similar vein Jesus paints a portrait of “Richman” — tradition has named him Dives (Latin for “rich man”) — dressed in the best, eating the best, insulated in his own little world, while at his door Lazarus lies starving, with only dogs coming to lick his sores. It is a scene of total indifference to the plight of the poor. God’s response is clear. The wheel will turn. And when it does, so shall Lazarus and Richman. What was a gap between them be-comes a chasm. The Letter to Timothy contains advice from a mentor to his beloved child in the faith. It offers a profile of how the baptized person is to live. It’s a shame that the reading does not begin earlier (1 Tim 6:9-10)and end later (6:17-19) because these verses directly warn about the dangers of money, offering advice for the wealthy so that they may “[l]ay hold of eternal life.” (6:12). Jesus became poor so that we might be rich in the grace and wisdom of the Lord. Do you hear God’s Word and answer His call to care for the poor and needy?
Their wanton revelry shall be done away with (Amos 6:1a, 4-7). FIRST READING
The prophet Amos was vicious in his attacks on the decadence of the rich. They treated themselves to sumptuous pastimes and wasted their resources while the poor died of starvation. They drank wine from bowls and anointed themselves with oil while those who
were defenseless had no one to protect them. The rich always wanted to be considered the first people of their society. Amos tells them that they will be the first, the first to be carried off into exile when the time of punishment will arrive for Israel.
GOSPEL
We are told we must be consistent with our lives. We have committed ourselves to the Lord in our Baptism, and we have reaffirmed that commitment every time that we have participated in the sacraments. We say that we want to be one with the Lord. We have to live what we say we are. Pope John XXIII was once asked why there are so many
atheists in the world. His answer was that it is our fault. We often fail to be what we say we are. Likewise, Gandhi was asked what he thought of the Gospels. He said that they were wonderful, and that someone should try to live them. When we try to live God’s love to the fullest, then we will share in God’s glory when we meet him on the Day of the LORD.
SECOND READING Keeping the commandment until the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 6:11-16).

Journey with the Lord and let your heart hear God’s Words….
By Margie Guadagno St. Elizabeth Seton Pastoral Associate
When the disciples
met Jesus
on the road,
they were
disappointed
and sad.
He walked with them
and listened to
their story.
Then, by opening up
the Scriptures
He gave them hope!
He helped them see
that they were
not abandoned
or left orphaned,
that God
was with them
and would
always be part
of their journey.

Learning A Lesson The Hard Way
T HIS WEEKEND IS CATECHETICAL WEEKEND. It is the time when we thank all our teachers and
catechists who help us learn about our faith and prepare us to be good Christians and good citizens in our world. In honor of all my teachers who supported me through the years and often went the extra mile in helping me when I needed assistance, I would like to share with you a story of how one teacher taught me one of the most valuable lessons of my life when I was a senior in high school. Her name was Dolores Hunt and she taught the Shorthand/Transcription class. (I guess I’m dating myself. It was 1967!!) During the last few months of every school year, one of the things she did for her students was to try and help find a job for them after graduation. She had been teaching in our school for over thirty years and so she had many connections with local businesses. She would contact them, see who was looking for help, and then set up interviews for her students with those employers. She set one up for me. It was an interview for a secretarial position for the President of the newly opened Bank of Lansing. It was for a Friday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. right after school. Well! As appreciative as I was, 3:30 p.m. on a Friday afternoon was really inconven-ient. After all, I had a date that night. So, being the ‘all important’ person that I was, I just decided not to go.
On Monday, Mrs. Hunt asked me how my interview had gone. I told her that I had to call and cancel it because of a ‘family’ situation (thought that was a slick answer!). I went on into class and began my day’s work. After about 20 minutes or so, Mrs. Hunt stuck her head in the door and asked me to step out into the hall. As I did, there stood Mrs. Hunt and the President of the bank!!! “Now,” Mrs. Hunt said, “tell me again how you called and canceled that appointment?” I wanted to die, to crawl right into a hole and never emerge. I was absolutely humiliated. I was em-barrassed. I was learning a lesson. From that day on, I decided it was much better to face an uncomfortable situation head on than to lie or try to wheedle my way out of it. I have never forgotten the feeling I had from that five minute confrontation in the hall and I never—ever—want to have it again.
T HAT LESSON HAS STOOD ME in good stead for many, many years. I have found honesty to be so im-
portant that it is worth being a little embarrassed in a situation rather than a LOT embarrassed when you get caught (and you always get caught). So, even though it is 43 years late, it is nonetheless from the heart. Thank you, Mrs. Hunt, for being a teacher who cared deeply about your students. I’m sure I’m only one of many who learned the kind of lesson that truly helped shape the person I am today. I have never forgotten you and I never will.
Who we are related to tells us and the world who we are. We are all related in the human family. We are more closely related to those who gave us the gift of life in our particular families. I don’t often baptize babies, unfortunately, but when I do I always explain that the bap‐tized child is changed by a new relation‐ship. The baby is carried into the Church as a creature of God, made in his image and like‐ness. That is why all life is sacred; it’s a gift from God through human parents. But when the baby is carried out of the Church, he or she is not just a creature of God but also a son or daughter of God, a brother or sister of Jesus Christ. New life means a new relationship. The life of divine grace unites all the baptized in the body of Christ himself. The child has been re‐born, as St. John’s Gospel has the Lord himself talk about the life we have in him and together with each other in the Church. New life is a gift from God through Jesus Christ, redeemer of the world. It takes a lifetime to grow into the rela‐tionships we’re given when born and reborn.

Will Our Kids Have Faith? Strong Catholic Youth Two-Day Presentation Will our kids have faith? Parents and parishes have every reason to worry that our young people are drift-ing away from the Church. In a major national study it was discovered that, despite all the wonderful pro-grams, initiatives and guidance that parishes and schools provide, Catholic teenagers consistently scored lower on most measures of religiosity — 5 to 25 percent lower than their conservative mainline, and black Protestant peers. What can you do to help young people have faith?

Depending on the response to this Vocation Cross Ministry, we will design a short service to be held at the church to hand on the Vocation Cross from one family to another.
Prayer for Vocations Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, graciously hear our prayers.
Give us generous hearts to respond to your call in our lives. Lift up courageous men and women
willing to follow after your heart as priests, sisters and brothers.

October Is National Infant Loss Month
Annual Liturgy of Remembrance
Tuesday, Oct. 5th 7pm
For all who have experienced miscarriages, stillbirths, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or loss of a beloved baby — no matter how long ago — their lives will never be forgotten. Therefore, we annually celebrate this liturgy so we may return yearly to remember the love that was shared in their creation and the way these little souls have touched others’ lives. All life needs to be recognized, welcomed, and celebrated in some way. Our memories of these babies had their beginnings in our hearts and will continue to live on there as a very important part of us. It is this love, those memories we seek to hold and cherish during this Liturgy. We have this Mass annually as an opportunity to continually celebrate with you the lives of those who have never had yearly birthdays to celebrate. We invite you, your family and friends, and all those who have shared in that loss and who have been supportive through the years with their prayers and presence — to attend.
Light refreshments will be served following the liturgy.

“I have set before you life and death… Therefore choose life that both you and your descendants MAY LIVE.” Deuteronomy 30:19
Respect Life Sunday Life Chain Sunday, October 3, 2010 2:30-3:30pm
DID YOU KNOW THAT OVER 80% OF WOMEN WHO HAVE HAD ABORTIONS SAID THAT IT WAS NOT THOUGHT OUT...IT WAS AN IMPULSE DECISION MADE OUT OF DESPAIR AND FEAR.
Choosing life is infinitely harder now. Pressures and demands come from so many places. Par-ents, friends, spouses, employers, teachers, counselors, the media and society itself all seem to want to have a voice in what choice should be made for a new life. The scripture words above were spoken centuries ago but seem to apply even more so today.
PLEASE JOIN US THIS YEAR FOR ONLY ONE HOUR AS WE PRAY TO DEFEND THE LIFE OF THE UN-BORN AND THEIR MOTHERS. LIFE CHAINS WILL BE IN OVER 900 CITIES. COME OUT TO LA-GRANGE ROAD ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3RD FROM 2:30-3:30PM WHEN ST. ELIZABETH SETON PARISHIONERS WILL STAND WITH ALL DENOMINATIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY AS WE JOIN TO-GETHER IN A SILENT, PRAYERFUL DEMONSTRATION OF OUR FIRM BELIEF AGAINST ABORTION.
The location for St. Elizabeth Seton parishioners is 15200 LaGrange (west side), in front of Jimmy John’s. (There are no graphic images on the signs depicting abortions. The signs distrib-uted have ONLY positive life supporting messages such as: Life—the First Inalienable Right; Jesus Forgives and Heals; Adoption: The Loving Option; and Abortion Hurts Women.)
St. Elizabeth Seton Baby Bottle Project Beginning Respect Life Sunday Weekend, Oct. 2nd and 3rd
St. Elizabeth Seton Parish will be participating in The Baby Bottle Project benefiting The Women’s Centers of Greater Chicagoland. This non-profit organization directly assists mothers and families experiencing crisis pregnancies by offering emotional, financial, material, and spiritual support through counseling, material and monetary provisions, prayer, and other aid. Each year the three locations together have over 5,000 appointments with expecting mothers. By God’s Grace, The Women’s Centers have saved over 33,000 babies—and their mothers—from abortion since opening in 1984.
Please take a Baby Bottle home with you after Masses on Oct. 2nd and 3rd and fill it with your spare change, and return it the following weekend.
This is a simple, but crucial fundraising effort for The Women’s Centers. Thank you for helping defend life. Please remember to keep all pro-life activities in your prayers! For more information about The Women’s Center, please visit their website www.womens-center.org OR call 773-794-1313.

Dear Parish Family, St. Elizabeth Seton’s Music Department has a 23 year history of providing quality music to the Southwest Suburbs and beyond. Our Sunday liturgies, special liturgies and services are enhanced by beautiful, spiritual, uplifting music provided by our talented volunteer cantors and choirs and often enhanced by the addition of wonderful instrumentalists who travel to our parish from near and far to be a part of our celebrations. Our three annual concerts are enhanced by a full orchestra. Seton’s music is a wonderful mixture of classic, contemporary and traditional music. The first concert on Sunday, Oct. 17th at 3pm will be followed by a Gala Fundraiser complete with a cocktail reception and Silent Auction. Financial constraints have called for a serious cutback in the music budget. While we are still able to purchase new music to add to our expansive repertoire, we are relying on donations to continue our tradition of enhancing our music with instrumentalists at our concerts and liturgies. In order for the Seton Music Department to continue bringing inspirational and beautiful music of such high caliber to our communities and parish, we need your assistance. A Seton Music Program Sponsorship is a great way for your company or family to show your support for the continuation of presenting quality music to our communities. An ad book with your ad will be included in the program of each of our concerts this year. At each concert, we have an expected attendance numbering over 600 people. The following form details available ad size and cost. Most importantly, your gift will enable the St. Elizabeth Seton Music Department to continue their gift of music to the parish and community. God bless you and thank you for considering becoming a Seton Music Sponsor. Linda McKeague Director of Music St. Elizabeth Seton Parish 9300 West 167th Street Orland Hills, IL 708-403-0101, ext. 112

TWENTY FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME September 19, 2010 Page Sixteen
SAINT OF THE WEEK Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang
and Companions 1821-1846
THIS FIRST NATIVE KOREAN PRIEST WAS THE SON OF KOREAN CONVERTS. HIS FATHER, IGNATIUS KIM, WAS MARTYRED DURING THE PERSECUTION OF 1839 AND WAS BEATIFIED IN 1925. AFTER BAPTISM AT THE AGE OF 15, ANDREW TRAVELED 1,300 MILES TO THE SEMINARY IN MACAO, CHINA. After six years he managed to re-turn to his country through Manchuria. That same year he crossed the Yellow Sea to Shanghai and was ordained a priest. Back home again, he was assigned to arrange for more missionaries to enter by a water route that would elude the border patrol. He was ar-rested, tortured and finally beheaded at the Han River near Seoul, the capital. Paul Chong Hasang was a seminarian, aged 45. Christianity came to Korea during the Japanese inva-sion in 1592 when some Koreans were baptized, probably by Christian Japanese soldiers. Evangeliza-tion was difficult because Korea refused all contact with the outside world except for bringing taxes to Beijing annually. On one of these occasions, around 1777, Christian literature obtained from Jesuits in China led educated Korean Christians to study. A home Church began. When a Chinese priest managed to enter secretly a dozen years later, he found 4,000 Catholics, none of whom had ever seen a priest. Seven years later there were 10,000 Catholics. Religious freedom came in 1883. When Pope John Paul II visited Korea in 1984 he canonized, besides Andrew and Paul, 98 Koreans and three French missionaries who had been martyred be-tween 1839 and 1867. Among them were bishops and priests, but for the most part they were lay persons: 47 women, 45 men. Among the martyrs in 1839 was Columba Kim, an unmarried woman of 26. She was put in prison, pierced with hot tools and seared with burning coals. She and her sister Agnes were disrobed and kept for two days in a cell with condemned criminals, but were not molested. After Columba complained about the indignity, no more women were subjected to it. The two were beheaded. A boy of 13, Peter Ryou, had his flesh so badly torn that he could pull off pieces and throw them at the judges. He was killed by stran-gulation. Protase Chong, a 41-year-old noble, aposta-tized under torture and was freed. Later he came back, confessed his faith and was tortured to death. Today, there are over 4.6 million Catholics in Korea.
