Remember in Prayer
As members of the parish faith community, it is
our responsibility 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 remember in your prayers:

From time to time we need to take stock of our list of those who
are sick. Please, just call as you call the rectory to ask that your
loved ones’ names be placed on the sick list for our prayers, let
us know when they have recovered sufficiently to be taken off
the list. Thank you.

A Prayer for the Armed Forces
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 and loyalty, they
may truly serve the cause of justice and peace to the
honor of your holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
Starting in November,
The Eucharistic Adoration will
take place on THURSDAY
instead of Tuesday!
GOD’S WORK OF
SALVATION
God’s work of salvation is the focus
of this weekend’s readings. From
the prophetic event of Isaiah to
Jesus’ understanding of the human
condition in Hebrews, concluding
with Jesus paying our ransom in
Mark, God is in control. There may be failings and
misunderstandings along the way. We may move away
from God, but at our conversion, God leads us back. Like
James and John, we may let greed and power blur our
vision of what Jesus wants us to know about the
Kingdom; but tirelessly we are taught and re-taught what
life in the Kingdom will be. Jesus has paid our ransom to
ensure that we will share in the Kingdom.
It is not unusual to think of Jesus’ ransom as a
punishment that he endured. However, it is more accurate,
and more like Jesus, for us to recognize ransom as God’s
gift to us.

the rest of the week.

Baby Bottle Project
We are asking our parishioners to
participate in a special fundraiser to help
women in crisis pregnancy situations by
supporting the pro-life work of The
Women’s Center of Great Chicagoland.
They do „pro-life” in a very full sense. As a crisis
pregnancy center they council women in crises pregnancy
with kindness and respect, and every year over 1000
women who go to The Women’s Centers for help in
determining what they should do decide to choose life.
The Women’s Centers also assist women financially by
helping them pay for food purchases at Dominick’s and
Jewel, and materially by providing nice clothing, diapers,
car seats, high chairs, and so much more. Finally, the
Mass is celebrated every weekend at the Women’s
Center, other prayers are said for the women and babies
every day in their chapel, and they are in full accord with
the ‘teachings’ of the Church.
This is a wonderful opportunity for parishioners of all
ages, including children, to be able to work together to
support ‘life’. Baby bottles will be available on October
28/29th at all the exits of the church for you to take home
and fill with spare change. Please return the bottles before
any of the Masses on the weekend of November 18/19th.
Please take one bottle per family. Thank you for
participating in this worth cause.

St. Andrew Life Center (7000 N. Newark, Niles) will be conducting monthly blood
pressure screening for the community. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is known as
the Silent Killer, because very often is causes no signs or symptoms to warn the individual
of its presence. Periodic blood pressure tests can be a quick way to detect a serious health
problem and prevent a stroke.
The screening will take a place every fourth Friday of the month from 9 a.m. Until
11:00 a.m. At the Life Center. This month the blood pressure screening will take place on
Friday, October 27, 2006.
For any questions, or directions, please feel free to call 847/647-8332.

HELP SOMEONE
IN NEED:
You know that giving blood can help save the life of
someone who is injured or has a serious illness but
still you might hesitate. Maybe you’ve used one of
these excuses when asked to give blood:
I don’t have time — It will be too painful — I don’t
want to get a disease — Plenty of other people already
give blood. There must be more than enough.
Saint Andrew Life Center (7000 N. Newark, Niles)
invites the community for an important lecture ‘Dealing
with Depression’ presented by Resurrection Health Care
Behavior Health Staff. The lecture will be held on
Wednesday, October 25 at 10 a.m. For more information
please call 847/647-8332.
Before you decide that giving blood isn’t for you, check
out these facts - they might just change your mind.
IT’S FAST — When you arrive to donate blood, expect to
go through a screening process. First, you will be asked to
fill out a questionnaire about your medical background.
Then, a health professional will check your vital signs and
temperature and take a blood sample to check if your iron
levels are high enough to give blood. Donating a pint of
blood takes only about 10 minutes. Allow time to
complete the health questionnaire and have refreshments
after, and you’re finished in about an hour. Considering
what a blood donation can mean to someone in need,
that’s an hour well spent.
IT’S EASY — Some people may be frightened by
needles or afraid that “losing” blood will be painful.
When the donation starts, you will feel just a brief sting
and then you shouldn’t feel any discomfort. Most people
feel fine during and after giving blood. Some people may
feel lightheaded afterward. For this reason, you will be
served juice, cookies and cake and coffee and asked to sit
down and relax before you get back to your daily
activities.
IT’S SAFE — All the supplies used for your blood
donations, including needles, are sterile and used only one
time - just for you - and then thrown away. You can feel
safe giving blood at St. Ferdinands.
THE NEED IS URGENT — Approximately every two
seconds someone needs blood in the United States,
according to the American Red Cross. Your life-giving
blood may be used to help patients undergoing surgery,
cancer patients, accident victims and hemophiliacs. If you
are healthy, age 17 or older and weigh at least 110
pounds, consider giving the gift of life.
Yesterday, a stranger donated blood that you or a loved
one may unexpectedly need. Return the favor — donate
blood on Sunday, October 29th in Canning Hall. Please
call COR (773/622-9732) to make your appointment.
Thank you.

Wyrażamy wdzięczność i serdeczne “Bóg
zapłać” wszystkim, którzy wspierają naszą Parafię św.
Ferdynanda oraz dziękujemy woluntariuszom, którzy
sprzątali kościół i kaplicę w ostatnim tygodniu z naszą
zakrystianką Siostrą Hiacyntą: Michael Lill, Carol
Marino, Zofia Nicpoń, Izabela Nowacki, Danuta
Białas, Jadwiga Maleszko, Halina Janczyk, Barbara
Jagielska, Agnieszka Cwieka, Kazimierz Sikora i
Jadwiga Walowski.
Za Waszą hojność i dobroć dzielenia się
swoimi darami oraz poświęcony czas dla dobra naszej
Parafii niech Bóg Wam wynagrodzi ze swoim
błogosławieństwem.
Zbliża się miesiąc listopad pamiętajmy o
modlitwie za naszych bliskich zmarłych, zamawiając
Mszy św. w ich intencji oraz wypełniając kartkę
wypominkową. Każdego dnia od poniedziałku do
piątku w miesiącu listopadzie o godz. 7:00 wieczorem
będziemy się modlić na różańcu polecając miłosierdziu
Bożemu tych, którzy od nas już odeszli. Msza św.,
komunia św i modlitwa są najpiękniejszymi formami
wyrażenia naszej wiary w życie wieczne i
wdzięczności tym wszystkim, których spotkaliśmy na
drogach naszej codzienności i otrzymaliśmy od nich
tyle dobra, a których już nie ma pomiędzy nami, bo
odeszli po swoją nagrodę do Boga. Pomóżmy im
otrzymać tę pełnię życia z Bogiem poprzez naszą
modlitwę, ofiarę i dobre czyny składane Bogu w ich
intencji.
Życzę Wam miłej niedzieli i błogosławionego
tygodnia.

Koła Różańcowe zwracają się z
prośbą do wszystkich o codzienną
modlitwę w intencjach papieskich,
które w miesiącu październiku są
następujące:
Ogólna: Aby wiara wszystkich
ochrzczonych dojrzewała i wyrażała
się w jasnych, konsekwentnych i
odważnych decyzjach życiowych.
Misyjna: Aby dzięki obchodom Światowego Dnia Misyjnego ożywił się wszędzie duch
zaangażowania i współpracy.
Od listopada Adoracja
Najświętszego Sakramentu
będzie odbywała się w
czwartki.
Co trzeba
Dzisiejsza niedziela jest Światowym Dniem Misyjnym.
W tym szczególnym dniu nie zapominajmy o misjonarzach, którzy z dala od rodzinnych domów, zdala od
ojczyzny— głoszą słowo Boże. Jak powiedział Ojciec
Święty—Benedykt XVI: „Być mijsonarzem znaczy
pochylić się jak dobry Samarytanin nad potrzebami
wszystkich, zwłaszcza najuboższych i najbardziej
potrzebujących, ponieważ kto kocha sercem Chrystusa,
nie zabiega o własną korzyść, ale jedynie o chwałę Ojca i
dobro bliźniego. W tym tkwi tajemnica apostolskiej
owocnej działalności misyjnej, przekraczającej granice,
obejmującej kultury i docierającej do najdalszych
zakątków świata...” Pamiętajmy o tym podczas dzisiejszej
drugiej kolekty i bądźmy częścią tej wspaniałej misji
głoszenia słowa naszego wspólnego Ojca.

ON RUDE DRIVERS, AND ATTITUDE
Copyright 2006 by John B. Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com)
My wife and I talk about rude drivers all the time, probably
because there are so many of them out there to inspire the
conversation. Usually, though, we don’t incriminate ourselves in
the telling because, being on the outside looking in, we’re
typically mere observers of the scene. But in my latest rudedriver encounter, I put myself squarely into the episode itself.
This wasn’t justified, of course, but what’s done is done, and I
bring it up now only because today’s readings prompt me to
recall what happened then…
First, I need to tell you that Gail and I live just off a frontage
road which roughly parallels Chicago’s Kennedy Expressway.
Not far from the nearest Kennedy on-ramp, this road intersects
with Foster, a major east-west thoroughfare. At the intersection
are three lanes, two outbound, and one inbound. The right
outbound lane--as a driver approaches the intersection from our
place--is marked with a right hand arrow and the word, “ONLY.”
The middle outbound lane is unmarked, indicating that drivers
here have two choices: straight, or left onto Foster. The third
lane--the inbound lane--is for drivers turning from Foster onto the
frontage road.
Here’s the deal… I was on the frontage road a couple of
nights ago looking to turn left onto Foster, so I pulled into the
middle lane and engaged my left turn signal. A few moments
later, some schmoe pulled up along side of me to my left--in the
incoming traffic lane--also looking to turn left. Huh? I couldn’t
believe this guy’s brazenness, his cheekiness, his blatant
disregard for the rules of the road. I’m not exactly sure why I did
what I did next, but anger had a lot to do with it. Instead of just
letting the guy turn onto Foster before me, I pulled up a smidge
and cut my wheel hard left, essentially boxing him until the eastwest traffic cleared and I completed my turn first.
I’m not proud of this, so feel free to think less of me, but when
I told my wife about it, she was willing to keep me around just
the same. And when I asked her how this guy could possibly
think that what he did was OK, she said what she usually says
when we have our rude-driver discussions. She said his rudeness
was--is--buoyed by his belief that he is better than the rest of us
on the road, that his time is more valuable than everybody else’s
time, and that he is entitled to bend the rules to his liking. It’s
good to be king, apparently.
And it all boils down to attitude. Isaiah’s text refers to the
Servant who serves through his very own suffering. In Hebrews,
we are reminded that Jesus sympathizes with our weaknesses for
he has been similarly tested. And in the Gospel, our Lord tells us
that to be great, we must lower ourselves. Truly, attitude is
everything. The guy to my left was a jerk because he thought he
was king of the (frontage) road; I was a jerk in-kind by cutting
him off as I did. On the bigger Road, I hope to rise above the
fray. On the bigger Road, Lord, may my attitude be ever an
attitude of service, not of superiority and entitlement.
