We all need this celebration of Easter which can be like an
infusion of air and light in our lives which are often
weighted down by sickness, anxiety, broken relationships,
and personal struggles with sin and temptation. As we
continue our life journey, we can count on the Resurrection of Jesus as a sure compass of hope that helps us navigate our turbulent world.

We have 4 new parishioners signed signed up for E-giving
Program. We now have 232 parishioners in the program.
Why not sign up today.
In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, we clearly recognize that
the Resurrection of Jesus is the triumph of God’s mercy.
The new life and hope that the Resurrection brings us is
not the result of our works or merits. It is pure grace, a
sheer gift of love that comes to us because of God’s
mercy. When we stand before that mercy, we know that
we are both indebted and responsible. We are indebted to
the Lord for His gift, and all we can do is give Him thanks
and sing His praise. We are also responsible, for if mercy
has touched us we must then be the hands and instruments
of God’s mercy in the world. When we carry on the spiritual and corporal works of mercy, we give living witness
to our faith in His most merciful Resurrection.
Let us pray for one another. Let us renew our faith in the
power of Christ’s Resurrection to bring God’s mercy and
renewal to a world in need.
Sincerely your in Christ,

EASTER: THE CROSS AND THE CANDLE
By Father Ed Fialkowski, Pastor
On Good Friday a large cross covered with a red cloth is held up at the entrance of our church. A third of the
cloth is removed. “This is the Wood of the Cross on which hung the Savior of the world,” the priest sings. The
cross is brought to the center of the church. The second third is removed. Again the priest sings, “This is the
Wood of the Cross on which hung the Savior of the world.” The same is repeated in the front. The parishioners
come up to venerate the cross that brought us salvation. They come up to give their burdens to the One who
hung on the cross for them.
On Holy Saturday at the Easter Vigil a large candle is brought into the darkened church. Its light illuminates the
church. In the same three places where the cross was unveiled, the priest sings out, “Light of Christ,” and the
people respond, “Thanks be to God.” The One who hung upon the cross has brought light to a world suffering in
its own darkness.
Monsignor Joseph A. Pellegrino, I recall reading his writings when he was Father Joe, tells us that Jesus Christ,
the Eternal Word of the Father, killed in his humanity, and has risen from the dead. And we have risen with
Him. We have risen from the stranglehold of the devil. We have risen from evil, from the empty promises of materialism, and from the idolatry of selfishness. We have risen to a new life, the life of baptism, the life of Jesus
Christ, the life of the Trinity, the life of Easter. We are the Easter people. We are an Alleluia People. We have
received the resurrected life of the Lord at our baptism.
Possessing the Life of Jesus Christ mandates that we strengthen the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Life. The
Lord has called us out of this darkness and death and given every one of us the ability to make His Presence real
for others.
Sometimes people will say that they live to go to heaven. That is true but insufficient. We live to know God, to
love God and to serve God in this life. We live to give the world an experience of the Lord. We live to be the
followers of Jesus Christ now. We live to bring a little piece of heaven to earth.
Call to mind the often used expression, “A little piece of heaven". We refer to or describe a vacation place or a
quiet time of solitude or maybe a state of mind. Every year we at Our Lady of the Wayside donate money to
worthy causes other than the support of our parish. Each one of these appeals is for the purpose of raising funds
to spread the Gospel message of Jesus. Each time we were asked to reflect on how being generous to these important causes positively benefits us. We are asked to donate money to care poor people but also we are asked to
be concerned for ourselves. We are asked to look at ourselves and resist the temptations we have to let materialism dominate our lives. We are challenged to make the spiritual a living reality in our lives and the worlds in
which we live. We are called to live the Christian life in thought, word and deed and to bring “a little piece of
heaven” to the earth.
Yes, we are spreading the Gospel message by our efforts. Yes we may even be helping people who are in need
of life essentials but we are bringing “a little piece of heaven” whether material or spiritual to those in need.
Why do we do this? Are we trying to convince people around us of how good and generous we are? No! Are we
trying to get something from God? As though we are bargaining with God, saying we will give this amount and
God you will do us a favor. Of course not! Why then were we so generous or should we be generous? We are
generous people because people need the Gospel preached to them and they are in need of some of life’s essential items. But we are doing far more than helping others simply because it is the right thing to do. Being generous is being the hands and feet of Jesus. Helping those in need is helping Jesus Christ, who identifies with the
hurting. By choosing to do what is right, sacrificing our wants for other people’s needs, even dipping into our
(continued on page 4)

(Easter: The Cross and the Candle continued)
own needs for those with a greater need, we proclaim that there is light in darkness, and that light is Jesus Christ,
risen and alive. We bring Christ to others by caring for them. You do all these generous things because others
need you. They need your light. They need the Light of Christ.
The three places where the cross was revealed are the three places where the Light of Christ is proclaimed. In a
real sense, those are two aspects of one act. Joining Christ on the Cross, suffering with him, results in living in
His Light.
All of us are in pain in some way or other. But instead of focusing on ourselves, we unite our pain to Jesus’ pain.
Our concern is for others. Our own suffering, which could turn us into ourselves, instead, through the grace of
God, leads us to care for those hurting more than us. This is how our union with the Lord on the Cross becomes
our union with His Light, our union with His Life. Good Friday and Easter Sunday are manifestations of God’s
Love for us and our love for God.
What is your pain? Is it sickness? Do you still hurt over the death of a loved one? Is your pain caused by a failed
relationship, the marriage that didn’t happen, or the marriage that should not have happened? Perhaps it is the
adult child who rejects your love. Maybe the pain is the suffering caused by an addiction, yours or someone
else’s. Perhaps it is your work, or your inability to find a job. We cannot let our crosses go to waste. We need to
unite the crosses to the candle. We need to live in a way that others can experience the Risen Life of the Lord.
No matter what our challenges or joys may be, we need to live for and with Jesus Christ.
The world needs us to live for the Lord. The world is in such darkness that it continually attacks people of faith.
That same world needs to see in our faith the way out of darkness. The world needs to experience Jesus Christ. It
is all about Jesus, you know. Everything that matters in life reflects His Presence. Anything that does not exhibit
the love of the Lord is empty, shallow, and dark. With Jesus Christ there is Light. With Jesus Christ there is
Life.
The cross and the candle unite sacrificial love to eternal life. We pray today for the courage to bring His life to
others. For that is what it means to be an Easter people.
Mother Teresa gives us this advice, “The fruit of silence is prayer. The fruit of prayer is faith. The fruit of faith is
love. The fruit of love is service. The fruit of service is peace.”
Easter People, may the peace of Christ be with you always!

Congratulations R.C.I.A. Class of 2016
I feel blessed to have spent the last several months participating in R.C.I.A. My
faith has been strengthened in ways I never expected. It has helped me re-prioritize
what’s most important in life, which is, loving the Lord and doing His work. Having grown up in a strong Lutheran family, I was hesitant to embark on this journey,
instead of uncertainty or doubt, I am stronger in my faith than ever before and look
forward to embracing my life as a Catholic and spreading the Word of the Lord.

I believe that if we surrender ourselves to God’s will he will lead us to where we
need to be. This journey toward a fuller understanding of the Catholic faith has
deepened my relationship with God and I feel blessed to have experienced it with
an extraordinary group of people.

Congratulations R.C.I.A. Class of 2016
R.C.I.A. continues to be a grand and wonderful process. I think, that at the core, it
has opened my eyes to the Catholic faith. I have also experienced the importance
of prayer, embracing God, the Church and to love. It has been a great journey!

I was born and raised here, in Chicago. I love nature and books. One book I never
completely read from cover to cover was the Bible. I grew up without a religion
because my parents had opposing beliefs. I am so thankful to them for giving me
the opportunity to choose my own path. Needless to say, I have always felt very
close to God. He is my greatest companion, and the One I turn to for everything. It
has recently bothered me that I have not been baptized or do not know the basics
about being a Catholic. So, I joined the R.C.I.A. I felt a tug pull me in this direction and here I am!
Natasha C.

I was raised from a Protestant viewpoint of the Bible, with thanks to good Christian parents. I married a wonderful Catholic girl, Valerie, with strong religious
principles. Our children were raised Catholic and I’ve attended Mass and been
around Our Lady of the Wayside for our fifty plus years of marriage. Last year, I
found out I was near death without even knowing that I was a walking cadaver.
God found the right people to pull me through. God provided me with R.C.I.A. to
prepare my religious education. R.C.I.A. has provide me with a Catholic fellowship and a closer relationship to God. I don’t have enough room to tell you how
awesome the program has been! I believe that when I complete R.C.I.A., I hope to
be a good Catholic Christian the rest of my life.

DISTRACTED DRIVING IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF CAR ACCIDENTS
By: Amanda Jo Greep
The dangers of texting while driving are well‐known, but a new study found that it’s not the only dangerous distraction. Researchers from the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that two‐thirds of drivers are distracted in the sec‐
onds before an accident. Cellphones were the most common cause, but drivers were also distracted by reading or writ‐
ing, reaching for something or using a touchscreen on their dashboard. They estimate that engaging in distracting activities while behind the wheel more than doubles the risk of a crash. Still, more than half of the drivers in the study did so. “We tend to underestimate the hazards of driving because we do it so often and it’s a critical part of daily life, but we shouldn’t take our safety for granted,” says Dr. Sandhya Nagubadi, an internal medicine physician on staff at Advocate South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest, Ill. To accurately track people’s driving habits, researchers installed interior video cameras and other tracking devices in more than 3,500 cars and followed volunteer drivers ages 16 to 98 over a three‐year period. Previous studies have re‐
lied on experiments with test drivers and reports from crash investigations. In those instances, it was difficult to deter‐
mine what exactly happens in those critical seconds before an accident occurs. “Traffic accidents are so common that they are the leading cause of death for American teens,” says Dr. Nagubadi. “States across the country have enacted laws banning cellphone use while driving, but clearly the problem persists.” In 2014, there were more than 6 million automobile accidents reported to police, in which more than 30,000 Americans died and another 2.3 million were injured, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Na‐
tional Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). NHTSA recently reported a steep 9.3 percent increase in traffic‐related deaths for the first nine months of 2015, as compared to 2014. Previous research estimates that human factors contribute to 94 percent of crashes. “If you need to make a call or send a text, pull over for a moment and do it safely. You have to ask yourself, is this one thing so urgent that it’s worth more than our lives?” says Dr. Nagubadi. If you want to drive safely, Dr. Nagubadi offers these suggestions: 1. Plan your route ahead of time and cue up your playlist before you hit the road. Electronic devices can make a drive easier or more pleasurable, but not if you’re programming them while behind the wheel. 2. Don’t eat or do any personal grooming while driving. Doing so may be convenient and save you time, but it puts you at risk. Try to wake up earlier or plan extra time between commitments so you don’t feel as rushed. 3. Don’t drive when tired. Some studies have found drowsiness to be equally as dangerous as driving drunk. 4. Invite a friend along for the ride. Research from the National Safety Council found that adult passengers can help drivers by monitoring traffic and the environment around them. They may offer clues about looming dangers by stopping a conversation mid‐sentence, for instance. Driver's Prayer Sacred Heart of Jesus, grant me a steady hand and watchful eye, that none be hurt as I pass by. Thou givest life. I pray no act of mine take away or mar that gift Divine. Protect those, Lord, who travel with me from highway dangers and all anxiety. Teach me to use my car for others' needs and never miss the beauty of Thy world through excessive speed. I pledge to drive with loving concern to my every destination, offering each travel hour to Thee in a spirit of reparation. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, my auto Companion, have mercy on me. Amen 9

Lectors have a critical role in the celebration of the Mass.
Since lectors proclaim not just any word, but the Word of
God, it is essential that they develop the skills required to
communicate God’s message competently.
Polices for Sacrament Years
Students entering Grade 2 must have had religious
instruction the previous year, otherwise they will be
placed in Grade 1.
Through the use of voice, eye contact and personal presence, lectors help God’s Word come alive for the assembly.
Grade 2 is a sacrament year, as students will receive
the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist for
the first time.
This training will provide the skills and self-confidence
needed for those who wish to become lectors in their own
parish or for any lector who would like a “refresher”
course.
Students entering Grade 7 must have had formal religious instruction in Grade 6 before being accepted
into the Grades 7-8 Confirmation Preparation Program.

MARY: A BIBLICAL WALK WITH THE BLESSED MOTHER
Mary appears only a few times in the Bible, but those few passages come at crucial moments. Catholics believe
that Mary is the ever-virgin Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven and Earth. But she also was a human being--a
woman who made a journey of faith through various trials and uncertainties and endured her share of suffering.
Even with her unique graces and vocation, Mary remains a woman we can relate to and from whom we have
much to learn.
If you want to learn about Mary this study, which is based on Dr. Edward Siri’s 2013 book, Walking with
Mary, is the place to begin. The Monday evening sessions begin April 4th and the Tuesday morning sessions
begin April 5th. The contents of the 8 lessons are as follows:

Each video lesson is approximately 30 minutes long and most are filmed on site. The high quality, up-close access videos of the Holy Land will take your breath away and the course content will renew your spirit and affection for our Holy Mother. Total meeting time each week is about two hours. A Study Binder is included in in the
$28.00 fee. Payment can be made at the first session but to reserve your spot please confirm with Barb Voss by
email at bjvoss99@hotmail.com by March 28th.
The OLW Adult Enrichment committee hopes you will join us on this journey.
BLESSING OF NEW LIFE
The weekend of April 2 & 3, after each weekend Mass, a blessing will be given for all expectant parents and
their unborn children. All parents, families, and friends who are anticipating the birth of a child, whether here or
elsewhere, are welcome to come to the front of the church after Mass for the blessing. Please invite anyone you
know who would like to participate in this celebration of and prayer for new life!
CONNECTING OUR MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT
Looking for a way to relax and reduce your stress level a bit? Looking for some quiet prayer time? Why not
combine the two? Join us once a month for an evening of yoga, aromatherapy, prayer, guided meditation, and
peaceful music. We will use yoga postures, movement, and breathing to relax our bodies and minds in preparation for prayer and Scripture-based meditations. The next session is on April 6 from 7:30 to 8:30 pm in the
Gathering Place. All ability levels are welcome, as the postures and movements can be adapted to what each
individual is able to do. Please bring either a yoga mat or a beach towel.
If you have any questions, contact Mandy Dillon in the parish office: 847-253-5353 or pastoralassociate@olwparish.org. Don’t want to miss seeing the announcement in the bulletin? Send Mandy and email to
