Just a Thought...
February 14, 2016
As I look north out my
window from the Old St. Pat’s
Mission Center on a bitter
cold yet sunny day in early
February, I notice that there
Fr. Tom Hurley
are three new construction
projects going on. Big ones! The cranes are up and
from what I can see, it appears as if more residential
housing is being constructed in the downtown area.
And that’s a view from just one small window. I
would imagine there are many other projects going
on all around us as well. I don’t know much about
the economy, and I’m not very well-versed in how
the market and the world of business really works.
I’m mindful of the fact that we’re in better shape
than we were in 2008. I know that despite some
recovery in the economy, there are still a lot of
people who are struggling and unemployed. I am
aware that even though we are all enjoying lower
gas prices at the pump, the downturn with oil is
not a great thing for the economy overall. Again, I
am parroting a lot of what I hear on the television
and radio when they give the business report, but
I really am a big time amateur in anything related
to business. But looking at the cranes and the new
construction does cause a sense of bewilderment in
my mind and heart! Those cranes and new buildings
tell me there’s growth happening and more people
potentially coming to Chicago and the downtown
area. On one hand that’s a great blessing!
On the other hand, as a pastor, I am perplexed! How
can I be looking out the window at growth and new
construction while my local church is telling me our
numbers are diminishing and parishes will likely
close? I know that I’m probably over-simplifying
the situation because these new buildings are being
put in the downtown area and the smaller, declining
churches are found in many neighborhoods of our
city, but the stark irony is still there. And I thought
about it the other day after reading more articles
about the massive changes that are on the horizon
for the Archdiocese. How can a local diocese of
2
2.2 million Catholics have to close and consolidate
parishes? I realize the situation: few people go to
church; many parishes have no energy; leadership is
lacking. It’s a bad recipe for decline. I get it.
I applaud our archbishop, Blase Cupich, for taking
the road of optimism and growth. I love his image
that he presented to us as this journey began: the
cross of San Damiano. When Francis of Assisi
entered a church during the 13th century, the
Lord spoke to him from the cross of San Damiano:
“Francis, rebuild my Church!” That is the image
propelling our present leader Blase Cupich and it
should be the clarion call to all of us: let’s help rebuild the Church. We have a great model here at Old
St. Pat’s and because of ALL of you, the people of
OSP, we can continue in our journey of growth and
“making disciples.” The cranes outside my window
will no longer stand as a symbol of irony but rather
as a sign of great hope. I don’t want this to be a time
of discouragement as we see consolidations and
closings, but rather I would like us to see this as a
new moment. Maybe the Church in Chicago will
be a catalyst for greater change in the larger church,
both in this country and throughout the world.
As I mentioned last week in my homily, we’re in
this together and I’m grateful to be in this work of
church with all of you. Thank you for allowing me
this great and awesome privilege to live, create, and
build the Kingdom of God with you. I have grown
as a priest, disciple, and person because of this
marvelous, extraordinary community. Let’s keep
building a church of hope here in our great city.
A blessed Lent to all!

Give us the courage to
accept who we really are
and where we should be.
By: Bernadette Moore-Gibson
Today marks the first Sunday in the season of Lent.
Usually, when we think of Lent we think of a time for
reflection, a time to consider the life and ministry of
Jesus. In today’s Gospel of Jesus in the wilderness we
have all the classic signs and symbols of Lent. First,
there is the period of time - forty days. The number
40, while it certainly can be a literal number, has
a greater theological significance. The number 40
indicates a sufficient time; a time when what needs
to be completed can be completed. It is a time that
extends beyond the ways in which humans keep time.
It represents another way of keeping time, a way
of keeping time that accommodates the plans and
purposes of God.
In the Gospel today Jesus having been baptized
and receiving the Holy Spirit has led him into the
wilderness where he faced temptation. As I reflect
upon Jesus’ time in the dessert it appears that he was in
a situation of being asked multiple times “Whose are
you, Jesus? And to whom do you belong?” Each time
we can hear in Jesus’ reply the voice from the cloud
at his baptism saying, “You are Mine, You are my
Beloved; and on You My favor rests.” Because in each
trial, Jesus affirms that he is God’s own. The choices he
makes and the words he speaks reflect the heart of the
matter; Jesus relies and trusts in the love and mercy of
God.
We don’t know factually what Jesus faced in the
wilderness. We are told that he is driven into it, or
led into it by the Spirit of God. And then, there’s
a great silence. We can fill in the gaps with our
imaginations - fueled by our own personal experiences.
For haven’t we all had wilderness experiences when
we felt that we were at the end of our resources physically, emotionally and spiritually? Our wilderness
experiences may not be ones of physical deprivation
and exposure to the elements, but I suspect that they
have driven us to ask our ultimate questions: What is
it that matters in life? Who matters? What is my value
here in this place? Where is meaning in all of the busyness? To whom do I belong? Whose am I?
3
If you are like me, then it is these wilderness
moments, when all the familiar landmarks of life have
disappeared, that I am most often driven to PRAYER.
Places where I ask God for the courage needed to resist
fear and surrender to change. Places where I ask God
for the strength to transform my own desert moments
into places of abundant life. Oddly enough, when we
are most lost we often find that we have a whole lot
less to lose - in terms of our sense of control of our
lives, so surrender becomes easier. And in surrender
comes prayer - a deep, real prayer - and consequently,
a richer connection to the source of our being - a God
who loves us and is present in our healing. Perhaps it is
fitting that this first Sunday of Lent falls on Valentine’s
day, a day where we are pointed in the direction of a
glimmer of light and into the loving arms of God.
Author Anne Lamott writes, “[Prayer] begins with
stopping in our tracks, or with our backs against the
wall, or when we are going under the waves, or when
we are just so sick and tired of being physically sick
and tired that we surrender, or at least we finally stop
running away and at long last walk or lurch or crawl
toward something. Or maybe miraculously, we just
release our grip slightly.”
And when we do that, we find a life preserver to catch
ahold of. And maybe we’re still bobbing out there in
pretty deep waves, but we have a line on who is with
us. Today Jesus’ wilderness experience has driven him
into 40 days of prayer, and the prayer has centered
him, reminded him who he is - a child of God, God’s
own. The one in whom God is so very pleased. Jesus
remembers God’s mercy and Love. As children of God,
this is our good news too. This same life line is ready,
is there for us tethering us to the good news of God’s
Grace, Mercy and constant Love.
Let me be so bold as to invite you into a Lenten
discipline of 40 days of courageous prayer. The
wilderness of our lives may not magically disappear for
us and our trials find themselves behind us however,
we may discover that the wilderness is not as desolate
nor as threatening when we listen with our hearts
focused on our loving God. Let us pray to be guided
into the pathways of justice, love and mercy during
these wilderness Lenten days.

Care at Old St. Patrick’s Church.

It may have been a dreary January day in Chicago on January 31st, but the Foundations
teens were busy flipping pancakes, brewing coffee, pouring orange juice, and welcoming
our guests to the 11th Annual Foundations Pancake Breakfast! We truly appreciate
the support of those who attended our biggest fundraiser of the year and we hope you
enjoyed the delicious food! All proceeds from the Foundations Pancake Breakfast will
go toward our Summer Worktours to Pittsburgh, Birmingham, AL, and Cincinnati and
to the Notre Dame Vision Summer Youth Conference.
The Pancake Breakfast could not have been such a success without the generosity of the
following businesses:
Pompei on Taylor – for the delicious sausage
Lou Mitchell’s – for amazing pancake mix
Meli Café – for more pancake mix
McDonald’s – for lots of butter
Yolk – for yet more pancake mix
Special thanks to Brendan O’Brien and the Youth Ministry Advisory Board
for all of your support and dedication! We couldn’t have done it without you!
And last, but certainly not least, THANK YOU to everyone in the Old St.
Pat’s community who came to dine, purchased a raffle ticket, or gave a

your pancakes and we look forward to serving you next year!

All are welcome!
Mag Mile Shut Down: Why #BlackLivesMatter and So Does Divestment
The Kinship Initiative invites you to a rich conversation between neighbors from the North Lawndale
neighborhood and Old St. Patrick’s Church.
Many Chicagoans engage in heated discussions and ask hard questions about recent protests, marches, public
hearings, and direct action events to shut down expressways, airports, police stations, government agencies, and
other public spaces. In November 2015, nearly $500,000,000 in sales were divested through peaceful protests on
Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. The protests were organized partly in response to decades of police violence in black
and brown communities of Chicago.
Right: Young protesters in Ferguson, Missouri
shortly after the Mike Brown murder.
Xavier Ramey, the facilitator for the evening, is Senior Assistant Director
for Social Innovation and Philanthropy at the University of Chicago, a
social activist, community convener, North Lawndale native, and Heart
Steering Committee Member of the North Lawndale Kinship Initiative.
Above: Mr. Xavier Ramey
Xavier will facilitate an interactive conversation on why the protests are
fundamental to creating a Chicago that is not only just, but also peaceful.
He will share his story of community-derived resistance and how politics
and problems of Chicago have led youth of our city into the streets in
search of a better life.
Please join us to engage in understanding, dialog and prayer to strengthen our bonds of kinship.

Lent, Liturgy, and Life
Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into
the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil. - Luke 4:1
Led by the Spirit
It Takes Work
Welcome to another Lent! Just as Jesus went into
the desert after being baptized, we who are baptized,
and we who are longing to be so (that’s YOU, AJ,
Stephanie, Joanne, Tracey, Angela, Matthew, Alycia,
Jennifer, and Taylor—our beloved catechumens)
enter into these forty days to stretch and to struggle,
to grow and to gain, to die to self and rise to live for
others, for God. We, too, are led into these days by the
Spirit, taking up the Spirit’s tried-and-true practices:
fasting, praying, giving alms. That strange word,
“alms”? It’s more than spare change. It comes from
two Greek words: eleēmōn, meaning “merciful,” and
eleos, meaning “to show mercy.” In the fifth century,
Peter Chrysologus observed “Fasting is the soul of
prayer, mercy is the lifeblood of fasting. If we have not
all three, we have nothing.”
Mercy
But what does “mercy” mean? A dictionary tells
us that mercy is “compassion or forgiveness shown
toward someone whom it is within one’s power
to punish or harm, or someone who is suffering.”
Good start! It is within God’s power to punish
us, yet God doesn’t. Being full of mercy is one of
God’s chief characteristics, and it’s a requirement
that God makes of all who are God’s people. In the
Bible, there are different Hebrew and Greek words
that are translated into English as “mercy.” Perhaps
the three most important are the Hebrew hesed and
racham, and the Greek eleos. Scholars sometimes
use the phrase “covenant lovingkindness,” with the
last two words deliberately run together, to explain
hesed. “Covenant lovingkindness” is more than a
feeling—it’s an entire of way of relating, of living out
in thought, word, and deed a very specific relationship
based on love, forgiveness, and bearing another’s
burdens. (In Christ, God bore our most onerous
burden: suffering and death.) Racham is the plural
form of the Hebrew word rechem, a common Hebrew
word for “womb.” Mercy protects, nurtures, brings
to birth new possibilities. We literally gestate in the
womb of God’s mercy. Finally, we sing a form of eleos
(“show mercy”) in the refrain (in Greek) we sing to
begin our liturgy each Sunday this Lent: Kyrie eleison.
Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison. (Lord, have mercy!
Christ have mercy! Lord have mercy!) Here, the sense
is being compassion--love incarnated in deeds.
9
You know this to be true: Relationships take work.
And so it is with mercy. Our tradition identifies seven
corporal works of mercy. They come from chapter 25
of the Gospel of Matthew: feed the hungry; give drink
to the thirsty; clothe the naked; shelter the homeless;
visit (liberate!) the prisoner; visit (heal!) the sick; bury
the dead. And from the whole scripture, our tradition
identifies seven spiritual works of mercy: c ounsel
the doubtful, teach someone something that is good;
encourage someone doing wrong to do right instead;
comfort the sorrowing; forgive those who hurt you;
bear wrongs done to you with love; pray for the living
and the dead. Here at Old St. Pat’s, this Lent, we are
encouraging and challenging each other to take up
the works of mercy, to be moved to compassion,
to become God’s mercy visible and tangible in this
weary, warring, wintry world in which we live.
How, in the World?
Look at your life. Chances are you already engage in
the works of mercy, without even thinking about it.
Lent is the time to think about it! Some of the works
of mercy are self-evident: pray for others; donate
canned goods or time at the Greater Chicago Food
Depository; listen carefully to a friend or coworker
who’s troubled. Got it. But how in the world do
I bury the dead in Chicago in 2016? Let’s put our
heads together to figure out how best to do the works
of mercy in our time and place. Email your ideas to
David (davidp@oldstpats.org) and we’ll print them in
the bulletin each week. And go to www.oldstpats.org
and click on Works of Mercy for ideas.
It’s in the Cards
Remember to take home a card from the end of your
pew. Jot down what you tried during the week and
bring the card back next Sunday. Drop it in the basket
by the table with the gifts of bread and wine. When
we offer to God our lives each week under the signs of
bread and wine, we offer up our works of mercy, too.
Together with our hearts, there’s nothing more God
would want.

Lenten Evenings of
Reflection
7 – 8:30 p.m. | Old St. Patrick’s Church | 700 W. Adams
As companions on the journey through Lent to Easter, we invite you to join us at our
three Lenten Evenings of Reflection! Each evening takes place in the church and welcomes
everyone seeking to renew or deepen her/his faith; extends a special invitation to newcomers
and those who have been away from a church experience for a time; offers time and space
to prayerfully reflect on the experience of mercy; and invites you for all three nights but
welcomes you at whatever night you can attend.

Songs of Mercy
with Rory Cooney and Theresa Donohoo
“Sing the song of the unseen God.” Join us for a participative and prayerful evening of inspired
song led by renowned recording artists Rory Cooney and Theresa Donohoo, joined by our own Old
St. Patrick’s musicians and special guests. Composer of a dozen recorded collections of liturgical
music and author of Change our Hearts: Daily Meditations for Lent, Rory Cooney and his wife
Theresa Donohoo have been making music together for over 30 years, over 25 with their friend and
colleague Gary Daigle. They recently released a collection of Christmas songs for GIA Publications
called “Like No God We Had Imagined,” and expect to finish a new collection in the spring of 2016.
Rory Cooney is the director of liturgy and music at St. Anne Catholic Community in Barrington; he
was the recipient of the 2014 Pastoral Musician of the Year award from the National Association of
Pastoral Musicians, and received the “As One Who Serves” award from St. Anne in Barrington on
the occasion of his 20th anniversary there. Many of Rory’s songs (such as “Jerusalem, My Destiny”)
are very familiar to us and significantly enhance our prayer at Old St. Patrick’s.

Works of Mercy
with Terry Nelson-Johnson, D. Min.
“I think, and I say it with humility, that this is the Lord’s most powerful message - mercy.”
It is one thing to read these stirring words of Pope Francis ….
It is one thing to think about these stirring words from Pope Francis ….
It is another thing altogether to ingest them,
to take them in, to let them get to you,
to let them get In To You.
Ironically, taking in mercy is a risk and renders us vulnerable. In gathering together this evening we
will be challenged and invited and cajoled to risk mercy, to be nourished by the feast of mercy.
In addition to reflections by Terry Nelson-Johnson, resident theologian at Old St. Pat’s, our time
together this evening will include the opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
*Please join us for some light refreshments in the church Hall at the end of each evening.

Social Action Ministry
Old St. Patrick’s Church - Year of Mercy
“How much I desire that the year to come will be steeped in mercy, so that we can go out to every man and
woman, bringing the goodness and tenderness of God!”
-Pope Francis, Misericordiae Vultus, Bull of Indiction of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy
A Year of Mercy. A year with more compassion and less fear. A year with more food on the table for families
and fewer shootings. A year with more jobs that are not simply decent but life-giving for workers. A year
with clean water, especially for Flint, MI, and all those who thirst for systems of justice, not corruption. A
Year of Mercy. We have an inspiring motivation this Lent to reach out to our neighbors in mercy, sharing
the goodness and tenderness which God shows to all. Here at Old St. Pat’s, our Social Action ministries
invite you into the corporal works of mercy as a way to enrich the Lenten season and this special Year of
Mercy. Each month going forward, we will highlight a specific corporal work of mercy and share some of the
ways we live out this work right here in our faith community. Join us as we bring the Gospel message beyond
our church walls in service, kinship, and justice.
Outreach - Beth Marek directs our Outreach programs and volunteer ministry to under-resourced
communities, bringing material goods and fellowship to our neighbors throughout Chicago and abroad.
Kinship Initiative - Vince Guider directs our Kinship Initiative in North Lawndale, bringing together
the people of North Lawndale and Old St. Patrick’s Church to walk alongside one another in friendship and
mutual transformation.
Social Justice in Action - Rachel Lyons directs our Social Justice in Action ministry, focusing on
justice education, leadership development, and political advocacy to create systemic change in our city and
state.
See below for more information on each element of our Social Action Ministry and how we are living out the
corporal work of mercy for February - Visit People in Prison. You have the opportunity to visit young people
in juvenile detention, advocate for restorative justice funding and alternative to incarceration programs, and
create jobs for folks with records so families and communities can be restored. Your gifts, your story, your
passion has a place with us in our collective work to create spaces of justice and healing and to build right
relationships among our one human family. We look forward to spreading God’s mercy and love in the days
to come.

The Seven Last
Words of Christ
for String Quartet Op. 51
Reflections for Holy Week
with spoken meditations on the Words of Christ on the Cross
Saturday, March 19 at 7:30 p.m.
at Old St. Patrick’s Church
“Over the past six years I have had
the opportunity to program this
great work each year in the weeks
leading to Holy Week... This past
year was perhaps the most rewarding
for me and opened my own eyes to
the potential this music has. What
intrigued me the most was there was
a certain part of our audience that
came to hear this classical music they
were familiar with and were elated
and moved by the perspective and
words of our guests speakers from
perhaps a different tradition.”
-Dave Moss, Viola
Monday, March 21 at 7:30 p.m.
at Lawndale Community Church
Haydn’s masterpiece The Seven Last Words
of Christ was written in a spirit of profound
religious conviction. It is a true meditation
on the gravity of tragedy and the possibility
of hope and redemption, explored
through the purity and intimacy of the
string quartet. The music is dark, barren,
overwhelmingly human, and expresses
the immense weight of Holy Week. Haydn
wrote “each movement is expressed by
purely instrumental music in such a way
that even the most uninitiated listener will
“
be moved to the very depths of his soul.”
19
The contemplation inherent in the story
of the crucifixion will be accentuated with
the addition of the spoken meditations
on the fateful words spoken on the Cross
from a diverse group of speakers from
the interfaith community of Chicago
and the Kinship Initiative of Old St.
Patrick’s Church and the Lawndale
Community Church. This unique evening
of sacred music and words lends itself
as a culmination of the season of Lent
and provides a reflective experience in
anticipation of Holy Week.

JOIN THE CROSSROADS RUNNERS AT THE SHAMROCK SHUFFLE!
Get in shape, lace up and join the Crossroads Runners at the 2016 Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8k

Chicago Marathon Coach Brendan will help you cross the finish line.
Register for the Shamrock Shuffle at: https://register.shamrockshuffle.com
COACH BRENDAN COURNANE’S TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED:
Next step is to be sure you have the right equipment - particularly shoes. Your shoes should not have
celebrated a birthday with you, regardless of how good they look. Visit a running specialty store to be
properly fitted for the correct shoe based on your biomechanics.
Next is clothing which will vary if you run indoors or outdoors. Invest in quality clothing - synthetic fibers
with ‘wicking properties’.
If you run outdoors in winter and spring, add a layer or two for warmth and comfort. Preparation for
running is as important as training.

Wellness Corner
7 Research-Based Principles
for Making Marriage Work
Below is a summary of what makes a successful marriage learned
at a marriage counseling course given by renowned marriage
researchers/psychologists John and Julie Gottman.
1. Enhance your love maps. Love is in the details. That is, happy
couples are very much familiar with their partner’s world. You
know everything from your partner’s favorite movies to what’s
currently stressing them out to some of their life dreams, and they
know yours.
2. Nurture your fondness and admiration. These are two of the
most important elements in a satisfying and long-term relationship.
Happy couples respect each other and have a general positive view
of each other. 3. Turn toward each other instead of away. Romance
thrives in the everyday, little things. Real-life romance is kept alive
each time you let your spouse know he or she is valued during the
grind of everyday life. Turning toward each other is the basis for
connection and passion. Satisfied couples have more goodwill and
positivity stored in their bank accounts, so when rough times hit,
their emotional savings cushion conflicts and stressors.
30
4. Let your partner influence you. Happy couples are a team that
considers each other’s perspective and feelings. Letting your partner
influence you is about honoring and respecting both people in the
relationship.
5. Solve your solvable problems. Gottman says that there are
two types of marital problems: conflicts that can be resolved and
perpetual problems that can’t.
6. Overcome gridlock. The goal with perpetual problems is
for couples to move from gridlock to dialogue. What usually
underlies gridlock is unfulfilled dreams that aren’t being addressed
or respected by each other. Successful couples believe in the
importance of helping each other realize their dreams.
7. Create shared meaning. Marriage isn’t just about raising kids,
splitting chores, and intimacy. It should also have a spiritual
dimension that has to do with creating an inner life together — a
culture rich with rituals and an appreciation for your roles and
goals that lead you to understand what it means to be a part of the
family you have become. Happy couples create a family culture that
includes both of their dreams (www.gottman.com). If you need
help strengthening your relationship, contact Sarah Thompson, Old
St. Pat’s parish counselor, at 773-234-9630 or saraht@oldstpats.org.

The Reverend Shannon Kerschner
Pastor, Fourth Presbyterian Church
Who will address the topic
“Resurrection Moments in a Time of Lent”
Friday, March 4, 2016 at 12 p.m.
Main Lounge of the Union League Club
When the Christian Church calls us again
this Lent to participate in a 40 period of
prayer, fasting and generosity, it seems
that fewer people are listening to that call.
Church attendance continues to decline
and the influence of Churches seems to be
waning.
To many it appears that the Good Friday experience of
suffering and death trumps the hope and fullness of life
proclaimed at Easter.
Reverend Shannon Kerschner, pastor of one of the most
significant Churches in Chicago, Fourth Church, will
reveal to us in the middle of Lent 2016 the “resurrection
moments” she perceives in the Christian community
today. She is Pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church
of Chicago, a vibrant and diverse worshiping community
of more than 5,000 members. A presence in the city of
Chicago since 1871, this downtown congregation is
committed to serving the needs of the community, both
locally and globally, a commitment that can be seen
in its many well-regarded outreach programs, most
notably its nonprofit organization, Chicago Lights.
Please MAKE YOUR RESERVATION AND PAY ONLINE
by FRIDAY, February 26th. A new person will be taking
reservations this month so please give all the details; the
church group to sit you with and dietary requirements in
the comments section.
The lunch fee is $35 for members and $40 for guests.
Join the OSP table to take advantage of the special
member price. Because of contractual arrangements
with the Union League Club, once your reservation is
made, your lunch fee is required, even if you are unable
to attend. There is a dress code at the Union League
Club: business casual for men and women, which
includes a shirt with a collar for men and no denim or
tennis shoes.

Blessed John of
Fiesole
(1400-1455)
The patron of
Christian artists was born around
1400 in a village overlooking
Florence. He took up painting as a
young boy and studied under the
watchful eye of a local painting
master. He joined the Dominicans
at about age 20, taking the name
Fra Giovanni. He eventually came
to be known as Fra Angelico,
perhaps a tribute to his own angelic
qualities or maybe the devotional
tone of his works.
He continued to study painting
and perfect his own techniques,
which included broad-brush strokes,
vivid colors and generous, lifelike
figures. Michelangelo once said of
Fra Angelico: “One has to believe
that this good monk has visited
paradise and been allowed to
choose his models there.” Whatever
his subject matter, Fra Angelico
sought to generate feelings of
religious devotion in response to his
paintings. Among his most famous
works are the Annunciation and
Descent from the Cross as well as
frescoes in the monastery of San
Marco in Florence.
He also served in leadership
positions within the Dominican
Order. At one point Pope Eugenius
approached him about serving
as archbishop of Florence. Fra
Angelico declined, preferring a
simpler life. He died in 1455.
