Through this trauma, Jung found, “To the extent that I managed to translate the emotions into images--that is to say, to find the images which were concealed in the emotions--I was inwardly calmed and reassured. Had I left those images hidden in the emotions, I might have been torn to pieces by them. . . . As a result of my experiment, I learned how helpful it can be, from the therapeutic point of view, to find the particular images which lie behind emotions.” [1] One of Jung’s foundational ideas is that mere words and concepts do not give us access to the unconscious. Certain sculptures, biographies, images, art, and stories can have such a striking effect on you because what your unconscious has already halfknown is brought home to conscious awareness by gazing upon them rather than analyzing them. Analysis, if it remains dominant, is merely a control mechanism of the ego. Let the images do something with you before you try to do something with them is the principle here. I believe that good art and good images (Jung would call some of them archetypal images) have the power to evoke an epiphany in you and to transform you at deeper levels. That’s why I think good art is absolutely essential for good religion. The iconoclastic nature of the Protestant Reformation might have been its greatest fault. Sometimes you don’t know what you’re experiencing in a logical, rational way, but you can’t take your eyes off of a picture or a piece of art. You’re drawn to it because the epiphany is happening as the unconscious is being ferried across to your conscious mind--but unconsciously! One of my own encounters with good art has stayed with me for many years. On one of my 2 first speaking trips in the mid-seventies, I went by myself to the St. Louis Art Museum where they had an extended exhibit of Monet’s water lilies. I went from room to room and found myself getting quieter and happier, and when I walked out into the sunshine, I felt I floated home! Now, I don’t know that I had a new piece of doctrinal information or theological insight, but the experience connected to something deep and true within. I believe that’s what good art, poetry, and mythology do. They tell you, without you knowing it, that life is not just a series of isolated, meaningless events, as postmodernism sees reality. The great truths-when they can be visualized in images--reveal to you the deep patterns, and tell you that you are a part of the course of history and all humanity. That deeply heals you. It is less informational than transformational. And it largely happens beneath your conscious awareness that it is even happening. You only see the fruits later. [2] Jung also believed that God speaks through dreams. Dreams can bring the unconscious into the conscious because the ego’s defenses are down when you are sleeping. Truth that might seem threatening to your ego when it’s awake, and therefore not be allowed in, can slip undetected into your dreams. In Jung’s words, “Myths which day has forgotten continue to be told at night.” [3] I hope you will now have permission to trust good art and “great dreams” (not all are) as messages being lifted from the unconscious, and not just your personal unconscious but the Great Collective where all things are one and shared. If I ever write, preach, or teach anything well, I am always drawing from that broader field and deeper well, and that is why I must honestly say, “I did not do it. It is not my idea.” Gateway to Silence “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” --C. G. Jung Richard Rohr is a Franciscan author and speaker Center for Action and Contemplation in New Mexico. Visit our website at www.oldstpats.org. Follow Old St. Pat’s on: A wakenings Keep Being Catholics in Action! By: Tim Liston At a recent meeting, I was explaining the concept of the home that we are building for teen students experiencing homelessness in North Lawndale. In Tim Liston that conversation, the prospective supporter said, “The Old St. Pat’s community should be proud of themselves for taking this on.” It got me thinking about the word “pride” and how often times it has negative connotations. Even when I hit the Thesaurus button on the word pride the results include arrogance, smugness and vanity. Thank you, Microsoft Word, but I respectfully disagree. This notion reminds me of a lyric from an Avett Brothers song (I’m a big music nerd, if you didn’t already know that about me), where they sing, “I wanna have pride like my mother has, and not like the kind in the Bible that turns you bad.” I love that line. Not because this line has a direct connection to the Bible, and not because I think we should pat ourselves on the back, but because it explains that sometimes we should evaluate what we’re doing in life and celebrate the good around us. It gets said in different ways, but if you listen to the news enough you might just think this world has no good left to offer. Well, being the eternal optimist that I am, I still think there’s a lot of good out there, and the Old St. Pat’s community is a great source of social action, compassion for others and community building. I’m proud to call myself a member of this church. I’m also proud that we embarked on a capital campaign (and succeeded on the goal!), in which one of the three priorities focused attention on the most vulnerable among us trying to finish their high school education. We have narrowed down our property search to two sites, and will be making a decision on the new 3 home very soon – stay tuned! • How cool is it that we had eighty eight runners lace up for the Chicago Marathon this past Sunday after months of training, all to help our partner outreach organizations?! We can’t thank the runners and supporters enough for your selflessness and hard work. *Special congratulations to our very own Chris Lawrence who finished his first ever marathon! • On Wednesday we teamed up with several other social justice groups throughout Chicago to march in demonstration of the need for legislation and policy to address the urgency of climate change – Old St. Pat’s was the starting point for the rally. • Just today on this campus we have something going for: our Partners religious education (young children), our Foundations ministry (teens), our OSP Next group (young adults) and a special event to bring our West Loop neighbors (all ages) to come meet our community over some donuts. Speaking of which…DONUTS!!! [Side note: Please come join us today from Noon until 3:30 p.m. across the street at Heritage Green Park for our inaugural Donut Fest! We have activities for all ages, and of course donuts! If you’re new please introduce yourself to one of our staff or ministry members.] So I say all of this because I think we should have a healthy amount of “good pride” for being a part of a place that lives out its faith in so many different ways. I am proud and grateful to know so many of you and the work that you do, and I thank you for your spirit! With that said, let’s not rest on our laurels. Let’s keep being Catholics in action!

Foolhardy or faithful? At a time when parish and school closings have become commonplace, Skerrett’s research addresses the question: “Did the bricks and mortar matter?” Ellen Skerrett, an historian of Chicago and its neighborhoods, edited At the Crossroads: Old Saint Patrick’s and the Chicago Irish and wrote the first published history of Loyola University Chicago. She is the Chicago-based researcher for the Jane Addams Papers Project. Together with Mary Lesch, Skerrett edited and annotated the memoir of Francis O’Neill, the legendary Chicago police captain who “saved” Irish music.

Foley as a frequent presider at our Sunday liturgies. About the Sara Center … Sara Hill was someone who, very simply but profoundly, affected the lives of many. For over twenty years Sara was a life-giving woman to the people of Old St. Patrick’s. This happened because of her own profound spirituality, her devotion to Jesus, her prayer life, and her strength and peace within. Sara was a woman of wisdom. With Sara, people found the conversation they were looking for. She would listen intently as they shared with her their personal lives. Sara would respond and often connect them to people she was sure would welcome them and continue the conversation. Dialoguing and networking were Sara’s gift to all who knew her. The Sara Center at Old St. Patrick’s continues this tradition, offering events on “things that matter” and providing opportunities for people to dialogue and network. Reservations: In order for us to provide you with our best hospitality, we ask that you make your reservations for this program no later than Wednes day, October 28.

More than twenty-five different vendors will display beautiful and unique products created by artisans from as far away as East Africa and Central America to as near as the West Side of Chicago. While this “alternative market” offers us a chance to get an early start on holiday shopping, the Solidarity Market is so much more than a holiday craft fair. The Solidarity Market at Old St. Pat’s is another expression of our desire for kinship along with our desire to promote, whenever we are able, the economic equity of our sisters and brothers throughout the world. 14 Our Market vendors and exhibitors have been selected because of their commitment to: • fighting poverty and transforming lives through job training and worker justice • creating entrepreneurial opportunities for people often denied access to markets • being good stewards of the earth’s resources In addition to the special items our vendors will have for sale, they will be delighted to share with you the stories of the people they work with, including their struggles and successes. Please stop by Hughes Hall and meet these remarkable people and learn about their efforts to create a better world! Refreshments, of course, will be served. Visit our website at www.oldstpats.org.

Women and Men of Faith October 24th Mother Janet Erskine Stuart: Religious of the Sacred heart (1857-1914) Janet Erskine Stuart, the daughter of an Anglican minister was born in Cottesmore, England. She converted to Catholicism when she was twenty-one years old. The following year she entered the Society of the Sacred Heart in Roehampton where she remained for the next thrity years. After serving as superior of her community, she became the Superior General of the worldwide order that operated schools for girls. She exerted a wide influence through her writing on spirituality and the education of girls. She considered education to be a deeply religious calling – “fitting citizens for the Kingdom of Heaven”. She loved teaching and often reminded her sisters, “It is not so much what we say or do that educates; what really educates is who we are.” In books and talks she offered a positive spiritual message that spoke to an audience far beyond the convent: “Remember that the source of happiness is within ourselves. Nothing outside can give it, even if you make your circumstances ideal. Nothing can take it away.” She died on October 21, 1914 at the age of fifty-six. “Your life is a sacred journey. It is about change, growth, discovery, movement and transformation… It is continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, teaching you to see clearly and deeply, helping to listen to your intuition.” -Mother Janet Erskine Stuart Adapted from Give Us This Day Daily Prayer for Today’s Catholic Follow Old St. Pat’s on: D irectory Old St. Patrick’s Church Administrative Office • Fr.
