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

Proceeds from the app, Archdiocese of Chicago Churches, benefit the Cardinal’s Scholarship Fund. March 30, 2014 4th Sunday of Lent Page Four People Who Are Marked: The Journey of Lent By Fr. Lou Cameli Lent, of course, began on Ash Wednesday. We received ashes that have faded or were washed away, but we remain marked people. And we carry our mark across this holy season, a time of deeper reflection and coming to terms with who we really are. The ashes clearly mark us as mortal creatures, people who will one day die. Remember that you are dust, and unto dust you will return. That is a sobering reality. We receive life on this earth as a gift. It is limited and comes to an end. We must take our lives seriously as we strive to live as God wants us to live. The ashes also mark us as sinners because of what we have done and what we have failed to do. Throughout the Old Testa‐
ment, we hear of people who honestly confess their sinfulness and want to return to the Lord. They impose ashes on their heads. They mark themselves as a sign of their penitence. We have heard the appeal: Repent and believe in the Gospel. Finally—and most importantly—ashes mark us with the mercy of God. Beyond our mortal frailty and even beyond our stub‐
born sinfulness, God marks us with his mercy. And that makes all the difference. The mercy of God takes our mortality and transforms it with the gift of eternal life. The mercy of God also takes our sinfulness and through forgiveness gives us his grace, a share in the very life of the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We are indeed marked people. To say this names who we are: people subject to death, weighed down by sin, but—by God’s gift—raised up to forgiveness and new life. And now, we have the holy season of Lent to claim and re‐claim our identity and to rediscover the source of our hope and confidence. Whatever Lenten practices we embrace, they ought to help us know how we poor mortal sinners are finally marked by the mercy of God manifested in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Stations of the Cross Walk With Me ($1.99) iOS and Android. The Pauline Press offers an experiential version of the Stations of the Cross in app form that includes audio. From start to finish, the Stations are all about the passionate love the Lord Jesus has for each of us. We follow him in these Stations not as spectators, but as his disciples, those he has called by name to follow him. Features include:  Hear Jesus speaking directly to you  Scripture and prayers with reverent narration  Two sets of gorgeous images to choose from (one tradi‐
tional and the other contemporary)  The option to play the stations of the cross audio from beginning to end (perfect for praying the stations in the car or taking a walk)  Two 4 minute slideshows for praying the stations without words for a more contemplative experience or when you have just a few minutes and want to pray the stations. Ability to continue right where you left off if you get interrupted iStations ($1.99) Android and iOS. Traditional stations and the St. Alphonsus Liguori devotional text. For most people, that’s all they ask for. But you get more–There is an audio version imbedded. In that case, bring your ear buds if you’re in church. If you are not in church, the app helps to simulate the experi‐
ence by providing beautiful traditional art de‐
picting the stations for you to use in your private prayer. Two traditional methods, including a Franciscan method. Also, text of traditional prayers in English and Latin. DOWNLOAD JESUS—Truth & Life Dramatized Audio Bible New Testament . The developers of this great app have packaged all four Gos‐
pels into 46‐day segments – about 2 chapters a day– so you can read all the Gospels through Lent. The books are read in this or‐
der: Mark, Luke, Matthew and John. You get the entire text of RSV‐CE Bible PLUS audio of the Gospel of Mark PLUS audio lectures covering the Gospels of Mark and Luke. The text is synchronized with the audio reading of Mark–
the text is highlighted as it is read in real time. Get audio of the remaining Gospels for $19.99. Individual New Testament books in audio format are $1.99 ea Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl (Free) iOS and GooglePlay Bring Lent to life through daily meditation and sacrifices. This app takes a unique twist on alms giving by putting a price on various items you may give up for Lent. With values in dollars, you can donate that amount to CRS through the app or make a pledge. I think that direct dollar value connection to giving is a real motivator because it puts your little sacrifices into concrete action to help others in the world who are in need. Prayerful reflection for each day of Lent which you can sched‐
ule to receive •Customizable tool to set Lenten sacrifice goal and track pro‐
gress towards its achievement •Meatless recipes for Fridays during Lent •Stories and videos of people who benefit from prayers and almsgiving to CRS Rice Bowl Page Five 4th Sunday of Lent March 30, 2014 Lay Leadership Formation Program Wednesdays, April 9, 23, 30 Chicago, Mundelein, and Lisle To dive deeper into the Catholic faith, explore Scripture, study with scholars, and learn pastoral skills, attend a Lay Leadership Information Night on Wednesday, April 9 at 7 p.m. at University of St. Mary of the Lake Prist Center, 1000 East Maple Avenue in Mundelein.

Ks. Andrzej Duklewski urodził się w 1962 r. w Ostrowie Lubelskim. Po ukończeniu Szkoły Podstawowej w Uścimowie i LO w Milanowie mając 18 lat rozpoczął studia w WSD w Siedlcach. Po przyjęciu święceń kapłańskich w wieku 25 lat pracował kolejno, jako wikariusz w Międzyrzecu Podl., Sokołowie Podl., Siedlcach i Białej Podl. Po 10 latach pracy w diecezji siedleckiej uzyskał od swego biskupa pozwolenie na wyjazd do pracy w Rosji na Syberii. Po przyjeździe na Syberię miejscowy biskup Józefa Wertha z Nowosybirska skierował go do pracy w Tomsku. Parafia Tomsk, w której od ponad 16 lat posługuje jest dosyć rozległa, to terytorium większe od Polski. W ostatnich latach w pracy duszpasterskiej w tomskiej parafii ks. Andrzejowi pomaga ks. Marek Jaśkowski, również kapłan z Polski. Na co dzień księża służą katolikom mieszkającym w Tomsku, Białymstoku i ponad 30 innych miejscowościach rozrzuconych na olbrzymim obszarze tomskiego województwa.

Prosimy by będąc w tym tygodniu na zakupach pamiętać również o naszej spiżarni i zakupić parę dodatkowych rzeczy by tym wspomóc osoby, które znalazły się w wielkiej potrzebie i proszą nas o pomoc. Zakupione rzeczy można przynieść do kościoła w następny weekend lub w poniedziałek do budynku konwentu podczas godzin otwarcia spiżarni. Bóg zapłać !

March 30, 2014 4th Sunday of Lent Page Thirteen ON YES MEN, AND ONE IN PARTICULAR Copyright 2014 by John B. Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com) An elderly gentleman at my parish died recently. Stanley Piwowarski. I had just seen his wife Bozena at church a couple of weeks earlier and I asked her after Mass how Stanley‐‐who had been having some health concerns‐‐was doing. Her shrug told me that things were about the same. As I came to understand, though, Stanley took a turn for the worse shortly thereafter, and the next thing I knew, I was listening to Bozena’s voice mail message telling me her husband was gone. He was 87. Often when people upwards of 85 pass away, folks upon hearing the news says things like, “Too bad, but he/she had a good life.” True enough, I suppose. Eighty‐
seven years is a good life. In Stanley’s case, though, it was an extraordinary one. “Dr. Stanislaw A. Piwowarski, age 87, Professor Emeritus School of Social Work at Loyola University in Chicago. Beloved husband of Bozena; loving father of Margaret and Barbara….” That’s how the obituary read, but man, what a back‐story! I met Stanley years ago when we both served on the inaugural Parish Pastoral Council formed three pastors back. He struck me around the council table as a thoughtful man, and when he spoke, he had an air of authority. Must have been the teacher in him. He was a long time parishioner even then, so I valued his input. He was easy to work with, and was willing to entertain opposing points of view concerning the topic at hand. And Stanley had a quick, warm, engaging smile that always made me smile in return. At the funeral, Bozena asked me to say a few words about Stanley after Communion. I was honored to do so. I told a few Stanley stories, but echoing words written by Stanley and Bozena’s daughter Barbara and read by her friend Lisa, I added that Stanley’s legacy to me would forever be his “Yes” to life. “Yes” took him from Poland when he was in his teens to fight in the war. “Yes” brought him to America. “Yes” introduced him to Bozena decades ago and the love affair just kept going. Knowing Stanley’s history better than I do, my friend Lucille told me later she was glad I referenced this because “Stanley was a true ‘Yes Man.’” Sometimes the term is used derogatorily. But Stanley’s yeses were not self‐serving. They were humanity‐serving. After Mass, a man with tears in his eyes approached me. Apparently a neighbor of the Piwowarski’s, he told me that while he had seen Stanley before, he never really saw him until now. This was profound to me in the moment and it’s profound to me again as I consider today’s Gospel, the story of Jesus curing the man born blind (much to the Pharisees’ confusion/dismay as Christ effected the cure on the Sabbath). I saw in the man after the funeral tears of sadness at the loss of a friend, but tears of joy for now seeing him in a new light. At least that’s how I defined my own tears that day, especially upon hearing Barbara’s words through Lisa. I am not blind, but I often do not see. I’m trying to see better, though. I’m trying to walk more in faith and light, and less in doubt and shadow. Stanley, after all‐‐the ultimate Yes Man‐‐would want it that way. St. Ferdinand Parish
