June 30, 2013 13th Ordinary Sunday Remember in Prayer
As members of the parish faith community, it is our respon‐
sibility to remember both in concrete and spiritual ways those who cannot celebrate with us each week because they are ill. Those who are sick in turn, remember all of us daily in their prayers and in their sufferings. We experience many blessings because of their remembering us. And so...please re‐
member in your prayers: Irene Rowe Eleanor Loscuito Mary Ayello Florence Magro Sharon Moody Anthony R.

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 knowledge 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. Daniel Guziec; SPC Jeffrey Foerster S/SGT David A. Domel Jr. Page Three

of Treasure
Weekend of June 22/23, 2013 Envelopes — $7,007.00 Loose — $3,335.00 TOTAL: $ 10,342.00 Thank you for sharing your „TREASURE” with St. Ferdinand Parish Bóg zapłać! PLEASE REMEMBER ST. FERDINAND PARISH IN YOUR WILL “For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters. But do not use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh; rather serve one another through love.” GALATIANS 5:13 We like to celebrate the fact that we are free to “live the good life.” But Jesus calls us to a different kind of freedom. St. Paul reminds us that Jesus sets us free so that we can serve one another, share our gifts and promote God’s work here on earth to glorify His name and not honor ourselves. Thank you!
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. ~OscarWilde
Sincere THANK YOU to all who give their time to keep our church clean. Thank you for your faithfulness and dependability. Please know that your help is very much valued and appreciated. May God bless you abundantly. Anyone interested in helping to clean our church is welcome to join us: Mondays at 5:00 pm and/or Fridays at 10:00 am. SUNDAY MASS ON TELEVISION Sunday Mornings at 9:30 a.m. on WGN‐TV 9 Sunday Mass at Mercy Home for Boys and Girls — the “Parish of the Airways” is now seen on Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m., on WGN‐TV, Channel 9, in Chicago. Sunday Mass at Mercy Home, recorded at Mercy Home for Boys & Girls in the Our Lady of Mercy Chapel, has been a source of spiritual nourishment since 1992 for those unable to leave their homes because of age or ailment to attend Mass. June 30, 2013 13th Ordinary Sunday Page Four Did you know…  Mass takes its name from the final words of the celebration, the dismissal. “Ite, missa est.” (“Go forth, the Mass is ended.”)  Pope Benedict XVI believes the abrupt ending to Mass is modeled after Luke 24, where Jesus meets with the disciples after meeting the men on the road to Emmaus. The men, not recognizing him as Christ, invited him to eat with them. It was only after he “took bread, broke it, and gave it to them” that they realized who he was. (Luke 24:30) “Then he vanished from their sight, and they were left to tell the good news to their fellow disciples. They ‘set out at once’ for Jerusalem (Luke 24:33).” The Mass ends as it begins: with the Sign of the Cross. Read Luke 24 and the scene described above, and consider our own similarities with the disciples. Do we not often enter into Mass distracted by our own concerns and burdens, only to be greeted by Christ in the Eucharist? Are we not refreshed by his presence, and then sent—almost abruptly, but no less purpose‐
fully—to tell the world of his love and forgiveness? Cardinal Wuerl says this: “What we receive in Mass we must now take into the world. The challenging thing about Christian faith is that we cannot hold on to it unless we give it away—
unless we share it with others. We have received Christ, and he as mingled his flesh with ours. His blood courses through us and gives life to our bod‐
ies—gives his life to our bodies! We become his face and voice and hands and feet as we walk out into the crowded sidewalks, as we return to our homes and neighborhoods, and we report for another workday.” May the grace and peace of Christ be with you! Go forth, the Mass is ended. With this article we conclude the Year of Sunday Mass. Starting July 1 we will focus on Year of Strong Catholic Parents (July 2013 ‐ July 2014). Page Five 13th Ordinary Sunday June 30, 2013 INDEPENDENCE DAY — THURSDAY, JULY 4TH On Thursday, July 4th there will be only one Mass at 9:00AM. (No Masses at 7:00AM, 8 :00AM and 7:00PM) THE PARISH OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, JULY 4TH AND JULY 5TH. HAPPY HOLIDAY!
ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO STATEMENT FROM THE CATHOLIC STATEMENT OF FRANCIS CARDINAL GEORGE, O.M.I. REGARDING SUPREME COURT DECISIONS ON MARRIAGE June 26, 2013 This morning, in the guise of technical legal language, the United States Supreme Court advanced the project of mak‐
ing marriage in the United States a genderless institution. Since women and men are not interchangeable, the Court's action is illogical and pretentious. The Court abuses its own authority when it permits civil law to alter the definition of marriage, which is a natural institution. What is truly at stake in these decisions is not the right of adults to love whom they please, but rather the right of children to have both a mother and a father. CONFERENCE OF ILLINOIS Today's decisions also bring us one step closer to the day when those who continue to distinguish between genuine marital unions and same‐sex arrangements will be regarded as "bigots." We have already seen the negative result of gender‐free unions on Catholic social services here in Illinois and other states. We can all be grateful that the Court did not create a new "right" to same‐sex marriage, allowing Illinois and other states to continue to acknowledge in law what nature and nature's God already tell us: that marriage is the union of one man and one woman for the sake of family. A
ON U.S. SUPREME COURT RULING ON DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT CHICAGO, June 26, 2013 ‐‐ The Catholic Conference of Illinois regrets the U.S. Supreme Court’s wrong decision to invalidate the Defense of Marriage Act. Marriage comes to us through God’s nature as the union of one man and one woman. The ruling, however, does not mandate a redefinition of marriage across the nation, so the citizens of Illinois can still preserve marriage by telling their state lawmakers to honor the natural truth of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The Catholic Church in Illinois and across the world will continue to promote this truth. The Catholic Conference of Illinois will work to preserve marriage and stress the disturbing lack of religious free‐
dom protections included in Illinois’ legislative efforts to redefine marriage. The bill before the Illinois legislature lacks even the minimal protections found in other state laws authorizing the redefinition of marriage, including New York, Minnesota, Rhode Island and Connecticut. ###
The Catholic Conference of Illinois was created in 1969 to serve as the public policy voice of the Illinois bishops and the six dioceses of the state: Belleville, Chicago, Joliet, Peoria, Rockford and Springfield‐in‐Illinois. nd God created man to His own image: to the image of God He created him: male and female He created them. And God
blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it.'" (Genesis 1:27-28)

W czwartek 4 lipca obchodzimy Dzień Niepodległości USA.
W tym dniu w naszym kościele zostanie odprawiona tylko jedna Msza św. o godz. 9:00 rano.
(Nie będzie mszy św o godz. 7:00 i 8 :00 rano oraz 7:00 wieczorem)
W TYM DNIU ORAZ W PIATEK, 5 LIPCA BIURO PARAFIALNE BĘDZIE NIECZYNNE.
Independence Day – Dzień Niepodległości USA ARISE CHICAGO Święto, które zostało ustanowione na pamiątkę ogłoszenia Deklaracji Niepodległości Stanów Zjednoczonych 4 lipca 1776 roku w Filadelfii, podczas Drugiego Kongresu Kontynentalnego. Dzień ten uważa się za datę powstania Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki Północnej. Deklaracja niepodległości – akt prawny uzasadniający prawo Trzynastu Kolonii brytyjskich w Ameryce Północnej do wolności i niezależności od króla Wielkiej Brytanii, Jerzego III. Deklaracja głosiła prawo do ustanawiania wszelkich aktów państwowych, wypowiadania wojny oraz zawierania pokoju przez dawne kolonie angielskie w Ameryce Północnej. Była pierwszym oficjalnym oświadczeniem na temat tego, czym powinien być rząd. Miała charakter uniwersalny, była czymś więcej niż prywatnym przesłaniem skierowanym do Wielkiej Brytanii, był to apel do całej ludzkości. Sygnatariusze Deklaracji Niepodległości: Thomas Jefferson, John Adams i Benjamin Franklin zostali nazwani przez kolonistów ojcami‐
założycielami. Nieoficjalnie Dzień Niepodległości obchodzono już od 1777 roku. W 1870 roku Kongres Stanów Zjednoczonych oficjalnie ustanowił 4 lipca dniem wolnym od pracy bez wynagrodzenia dla urzędników federalnych. W 1931 roku zmieniono prawo, przyznając im za ten dzień uposażenie. Należy wspomnieć, że Polacy – Kazimierz Pułaski i Tadeusz Kościuszko zapisali się na trwałe na kartach historii walcząc o niepodległość Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki. Co roku 4 lipca Ameryka hucznie świętuje swój Dzień Niepodległości. Organizowane są koncerty, parady, festyny, mecze baseballowe. Tego dnia politycy i urzędnicy państwowi wygłaszają przemówienia o tematyce patriotycznej. 4 lipca w całych Stanach Zjednoczonych odbędą się również uroczystości nadania obywatelstwa tysiącom imigrantów. Większość Amerykanów spędzi Święto Niepodległości na spotkaniach z rodziną, przyjaciółmi i na wspólnym grillowaniu. Po zmierzchu w wielu amerykańskich miastach odbędą się pokazy sztucznych ogni.

Copyright 2013 by John B. Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com The 4th of July is just around the corner. Independence Day.

brate the 4th in commemoration of the day over two hundred years ago when dissatisfied colonists declared their independ‐
ence from England. Ostensibly, the Declaration of Independence was the beginning of the Revolutionary War, and in part, it had this to say about liberty: “We hold these truths to be self‐evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness…” But what does liberty mean? As Joplin sang it in Me and Bobby McGee, “Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose.” It’s one of those great rock’n roll lyrics that says everything and nothing at the same time. I get its gist given the song’s mes‐
sage, but when I really want to ponder freedom, I turn to Whit‐
man: “The shallow…consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise see it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws, namely, the fusion and combination of the conscious will, or partial individual law, with the universal, eternal, uncon‐
scious ones which run through all Time, pervade history, prove immortality, give moral purpose to the entire objective world, and the last dignity to human life.” Now that’s what I’m talking about! The American journalist George Will has a similar take on free‐
dom, but by my reading, he couches it more directly in the con‐
text of faith. Per Will in Statecraft as Soulcraft, “Freedom is not only the absence of external restraints. It also is the absence of irresistible internal compulsions, unmanageable passions, and uncensorable appetites. From the need to resist, manage, and censor the passions there flows the need to do so in the interest of some ends rather than others. Hence freedom requires reflec‐
tive choice about the ends of life.” Now consider the Apostle Paul’s insight on freedom in today’s second reading: “Brothers and sisters: For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.” The slavery to which Paul refers, of course, is sin. To quote the villainess Ursula in Disney’s The Little Mermaid when Ariel is try‐
ing to decide if she want to give away her voice to gain her legs, “Life’s full of tough choices, isn’t it?” With knowledge of the faith, we can choose to embrace Christ’s teachings and his example of love, or to turn away from it to be enslaved by all the lusts the world and our very humanity throw at us. Today’s Gospel is trou‐
bling for me, especially when Christ chides a potential follower because the man first wanted to go home to bury his father. I don’t always make the right choices. Perhaps none of us do. But all we can do is the best we can. We have the freedom for it. May God give us the strength. St. Ferdinand Parish
