As members of the parish faith community, it is our respon‐

Almighty God, stretch forth Your mighty arm to strengthen and protect the men and women of our Armed Forces. As they face the myriad of challenges and decisions that each day is destined to bring, may they be anchored by their faith, protected by Your presence and comforted by the knowl‐
edge that they are loved by You and by this community of faith. Grant that, meeting danger with courage, and all occasions with discipline loyalty, they may truly serve the cause of justice and peace to the honor of your holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. SPC Jeffrey Foerster Page Three

May 11, 2014 4th Sunday of Easter Page Four EVERY DAY IS MOTHER’S DAY!
H ow can we be perfect mothers? We can’t of course. With that settled, we are free to think of ways to follow God’s guide and be the mother HE wants us to be to the children He has chosen for us. We all know that the first key is to pray and frequent the sacraments. This can’t be stressed enough. God alone will give the inspiration and strength to help us be the best we can. What’s next can simply be recalled as the acronym “LOVE THEM”. L – Little things mean a lot. Listening is one of the most important things we can do as a mother. Feeling understood is a basic human need. When we hug our child and open our ears and hearts we convey understanding. Giving a back rub at the end of the day or sharing a book together regularly are small things that make a huge difference in our children’s lives. Also, when we use a tablecloth and flow‐
ers on the table for Sunday dinner, encourage politeness and gentle speech and carefully create and serve special homemade desserts together, we make home life memorable for our children. We also introduce them to manners and refinement, important qualities for them to pass to their own offspring. When our children become adults, they will likely recall, with fondness, these happy little moments of their childhoods, and politeness and kindness will be the default mode of their behavior. Saint Margaret of Scotland (who introduced tapestries and tablecloths to her cold, dreary castle when she married into royalty, and taught manners to her adopted people) had to civilize a nation. We only have to ‘civilize’ a family. Who else will teach manners and refinement to our children if we don’t? Who else will model politeness, courtesy, kindness, generosity? Little things do make a difference. O – Organize. Periodically sit down and have a heart‐to‐heart talk with your husband. Together, decide upon a weekly schedule, a *flow* of life that suits your particular family. Then you (or you and he together) can make up Saturday and daily chore lists and dinner menus. Don’t forget to write in monthly confession ‘dates’. Find your family’s flow and start implementing little by little. V – Visualize. Close your eyes and imagine yourself as you want to be. See yourself in a clean peaceful home, surrounded by those you love. What are you doing? What are those around you doing? What distractions can you eliminate? What steps do you need to take today? E – Expect the best. And Exercise. “People become generally what you expect of them” is an old but true adage. Expect the best of your family and yourself. Also exercise! Moms need to be physically fit to meet the demands of their families. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Take care of it. T – Turn off the TV. Some families get rid of their television completely but you don’t have to be that drastic. Just control the time you spend with this and other electronic devices. Besides the possibility of the TV introducing less savory aspects of modern culture right into your family room, it robs families of time together. Be aware, also of the time spent on the computer or needless chatting on the phone. Time is one of the greatest gifts of our life. Utilizing it wisely will pay off handsomely in the long‐run. H – Have time for yourself. Carve a little time for prayer, some spiritual reading (start with a favorite saint). This gives you some time to regroup after a busy day. Some moms like to take a walk in the evening or sneak out to Adoration alone. Find what works for you and schedule it in. E – Enjoy your children. Ask them their thoughts.. What are their favorite foods? Their hopes for the future? And while you’re at it, enjoy your husband as well. God gave him to be your helpmate, your soul mate. What was it that first attracted you to him? How can you demonstrate kindness and appreciation to him today? Make time for each other. “If you truly knew what a gift your spouse was to you, you would die of happiness,” said a priest at a wedding homily. Build that relationship. M – Mary our Mother. None of us is the perfect mother. We can, however, follow the example of Jesus’ Mother Mary and put our ca‐
res in her hands. She understands and she will help us. When we don’t know what to do in a sorrow or situation we should bring our concerns to her. By meditating on her life through the rosary we can live our lives like she did and grow in love for her Son and our fami‐
lies. And so this Sunday, put your feet up, smell those roses if you are lucky enough to have received them, enjoy that chocolate, and go ahead and shed an emotional tear for the hand‐made, scribbled card the toddler just placed in your hand. Then gear up for tomorrow because when you have children, every day is mother’s day. Thank God. www.integratedcatholiclife.org Page Five 4th Sunday of Easter LADIES OF ST. ANNE St. Ferdinand Ladies of St. Anne will meet on Wednesday, May 21st at 11:30 AM. This is the month of the May Crowing. This will take place either in the Church or at the Convent.

Od samego początku zatroskana o nasze istnienie, o naszą przyszłość. Zawsze razem ‐ Matka i dziecko. Ona ‐ pełna niepokoju i lęku, pełna ciepła i serdecznych gestów, oddana bez reszty swemu wielkiemu skarbowi, dając mu swoją miłość, czas, siłę i serce. Musi dzieckiem kierować tak, by dla nikogo nie było przyczyną łez. Matka musi mieć uczucia serdeczne, stawać się aniołem dobroci i odznaczać się cnotami, by dziecku dać przykład, jak ma iść przez życie. Dziecko to człowiek mający wolną wolę, którą może utracić, jeżeli rodzice nie potrafią do niego trafić w procesie wychowawczym, jeżeli nie będą w stanie ukształto‐
wać jego charakteru. Uczucie matki do dziecka powinno być regulowane pewnymi zasadami: stąd ‐ dotąd. Niech dziecko wie, co wolno, a czego nie wolno. Wychowanie musi iść w parze z pewnym hartowaniem osobowo‐
ści. Dziecko musi oswoić się z tym, że nie wszystko w życiu jest dostępne. Mówi się często, że obecne młode pokolenie jest źle wychowane, nieczułe, nie ma szacunku dla rodziców. Chyba jedną z przyczyn takiego stanu jest zmiana stylu życia, przeobrażenia w rodzinie, inne traktowanie dzieci przez rodziców odnośnie do wymagań, a nawet bezwzględności, jak to było dawniej. Dzisiaj stosunki między rodzicami a dziećmi układają się coraz częściej na płaszczyźnie kontaktów przyjacielskich. Istnieje ogromna swoboda w tych relacjach, kiedyś nie do pomyślenia. Zadanie matki to ciągła ofiara ze swojego czasu i odpoczynku, ofiara z wielu przyjemności życia, by być najbliżej swych pociech i czuwać nad nimi. I tak biegną lata, dzieci dorastają, a matka drepce za nimi cicha, o wiecznie zatroskanych oc‐
zach, które życie okradło nieraz z uśmiechów. Często uśmiechami obdarzamy przyjaciół, znajomych, a dla matki zostaje uśmiech jakiś wymuszony. Dzielimy swoje serce na drobne dla innych, a przed matką chowamy je głęboko. Zapominamy o jej prawie do naszego serca. Niech obchodzony corocznie Dzień Matki będzie dla wielu dniem refleksji i zastanowienia się, jacy jesteśmy na co dzień dla swoich, kochających nas matek. Za to, Mamo, że w noc czujnie strzeżesz kolorowych i spokojnych mych snów; za to, Mamo, że ci zawsze mogę wierzyć, że rozumiesz mnie nawet bez słów; cóż Ci dzisiaj mogę za to dać, Najdroższa Mamo? Po jednym kwiatku za noc każdą nieprzespaną, po jednym kwiatku za każde zmartwienie, po jednym kwiatku za płynące z Twych rąk ukojenie. Za każdą Twoją zmarszczkę ‐ jeden kwiat i jeden za każdy siwy włos. Pod nogi trzeba by Ci rzucić cały świat, wszystkie kwiaty na ogromny stos. "Co Ci dam", Maja Waszak Wszystkim Matkom, tym młodym i tym starszym, życzymy, by miały w sobie dość siły i obfitość serca dla swych dzieci, by siłę tę czerpały z serca Bogurodzicy Maryi i do Niej się uciekały w trudnych chwilach.

Page Eleven May 11, 2014 4th Sunday of Easter Page Twelve 27 kwietnia to szczególny dzień dla naszego kościoła, ponieważ w tym właś‐
nie dniu nasz papież, błogosławiony Jan Paweł II, został ogłoszony świętym Kościoła katolickiego. Pragniemy, aby ten dzień był dla nas wszystkich dniem modlitwy za naszego rodaka, który wzy‐
wał do miłości, bo tylko miłość według niego otwiera serca, łączy ludzi, uczy wzajemnego poszanowania. Do wspólnej modlitwy, wspólnego przeżywania radości, dadzą nam okazję Koncerty kanonizacyjne „Szukam Was”, które odbędzą się: 24 maja o godzinie 7:00 pm w Parafii Św. Ferdynanda 5900 W. Barry Ave. Chicago, IL 60634. 25 maja o godzinie 8:00 pm w Parafii Św. Błażeja 6101 S. 75th Ave. Summit IL 60501. Oratorium “Szukam Was” jest to unika‐
towe dzieło z udziałem solistów oraz instrumentalnego zespołu kameralnego, do którego tekst napisał krakowski po‐
eta Michał Zabłocki na podstawie testa‐
mentu Św. Jana Pawła II w czwartą roc‐
znicę Jego śmierci. Muzykę stworzył młody kompozytor Bartosz Tomaszek. Koncerty te mają służyć uczczeniu pa‐
mięci Św. Jana Pawła II, wyrażeniu radości Polonii z wyniesienia naszego papieża na ołtarze świętości jak i wzbogaceniu naszych duchowych przeżyć. Będąc z pielgrzymką w USA, papież dziękował Polonii za pielęgnowanie polskich tradycji, kultury i krzewie‐
nie wiary, jednocześnie podkreślał potrzebę budowania porozumienia i łączenia kultur różnych narodowości, dlatego w kon‐
cercie obok gości z Polski, udział wezmą również artyści amerykańscy. Przywołując w pamięci testament Jana Pawła II, nie można zapomnieć słów: … przyjmuję teraz tę śmierć „dla zbawienia ludzi, dla ocalenia rodziny ludzkiej, a w niej wszystkich narodów i ludów (wśród nich serce w szczególny sposób się zwraca do mojej ziemskiej Ojczyzny), dla osób, które szczególnie mi powierzył – dla sprawy Kościoła, dla chwały Boga Samego". Te słowa zapowiadają wielkie duchowe i artystyczne doznania. Bądźmy razem, módlmy się i radujmy się wspólnie z okazji włączenia w poczet świętych naszego wielkiego Polaka, Jana Pawła II.

Copyright 2014 by John B. Reynolds ([email protected]) Perhaps because I’m not particularly good at recognizing voices over the phone, I preface nearly all of my phone calls with, “Hello. This is John.” Been doing it for years. Sometimes I use my surname, too, depending on the relationship I have with the person I’m call‐
ing. Even with the onset of caller ID more than a decade ago, I fig‐
ured this was a nice thing to do because‐‐putting myself into the call recipient’s shoes‐‐I thought it would save that person a little confusion. Or at a minimum, I thought it would save that person some mental processing time. My wife kidded me gently about this, but her good‐natured ribbing was often a bit more pointed when she overheard phone calls to my mother way back when. “Hello, Mom? This is John,” I said, even after Mom had said hello and called me by name, all of which prompted Gail to say over my shoulder, “She knows it’s you…” I remember hearing about studies over the years showing that even in the womb, a child comes to recognize his or her mother’s voice. Amazing stuff, I always thought. Something about how the sound of the mother’s voice is imprinted onto the child’s brain (or perhaps, in less scientific fashion, into the child’s heart) long before the child actually comes into the world, long before the child actu‐
ally draws his or her own very first breath of air. I haven’t done the research, but I can tell you anecdotally‐‐and in reverse fashion‐‐
that while I often have had to guess a caller’s identification over the years (or at least keep the conversation going long enough with small talk until I could figure out who it was for sure), I never had to guess when Mom called. When Mom called, I knew her voice. Heck. Sometimes when Mom called I could tell it was her by the sound of the ring. Voice recognition. We probably don’t think about this very of‐
ten, but it means much, and today’s Gospel reading‐‐the depiction of Jesus as the Good Shepherd‐‐is all over the topic. “Amen, Amen, I say to you,” Christ explains, “whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber. But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as the shepherd calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice.” Jesus then goes on further to say that the sheep will not follow anyone trying to lead them astray “…because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.” On this Mother’s Day especially but on all days, we need to hear the voices of loving mothers everywhere‐‐even when they are gone‐‐calling out to us to stay on the path of good. We know the voice. We knew it when we were in the womb. Simi‐
larly, we need to hear Christ’s voice calling out to us to do exactly the same. To stay on the path of good. Which isn’t surprising. After all, “God is Mother,” Pope John Paul I observed during his short pontificate. It all connects, you know? Happy Mother’s Day.
