From Fr. Michael Shanahan, our Pastor
Del Padre Michael Shanahan, nuestro Párroco
.Each story we hear in these Easter days bears witness to the grace and power of the Risen Christ.
We read of the apostles and their families, of the
thousands who were baptized after having heard
of Jesus. We hear about how the disciples continued to spread their experience of Christ with others. We see that the flame of faith spread far and
wide.
This mission has not been abandoned and
Christianity has not lost its power. There are those
among us who are living witnesses to Christ and their
ministry demonstrates this with great strength. There
is a document from the Second Vatican Council
known as the Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity
that speaks to this. We read: “the laity likewise share
in the priestly, prophetic, and royal office of Christ
and therefore have their own share in the mission of
the whole people of God in the Church and in the
world.” Why do I echo these specific words?
On Thursday of this past week we gave thanks for
the life and love of Helen Cosgrove, a parishioner for
many years. Helen was one of the original founders of
our Soup Kitchen more than 25 years ago. The Soup
Kitchen continues to this day and there is a profound
spirit of charity and goodness there. Helen also ministered to countless souls who were seeking to understand the Church and the message of the Gospel in
their lives. Helen always sought to understand the true
meaning of faith in daily life. Just a couple of weeks
ago, I was visiting Helen and she shared with me
about a book she was currently reading that offers a
contemporary understanding of Scripture. We are
grateful for such the special light and inspiration we
found in Helen. May Helen rest in Peace!
Today’s Gospel reminds us of the nature of God
whom we worship: “I am the Good Shepherd”. May
we find reassurance in our encounter with Christ
through these words. I am also inspired by and grateful for the ordination of Leo Restrepo as a permanent
deacon for Lourdes. Please come to meet Leo and his
wife Amparo after the 11:30am Mass on the rectory
patio today. God Bless Leo and Amparo. May you
know the rich Goodness of the Shepherd as you embrace your ministry.
Finally, congratulations to our teens who celebrated Confirmation on Friday and to our younger
children who will celebrate their First Communion
here next weekend!! God Bless all of our catechists for
Cada historia que oímos en estos días de Pascua son
testimonio de la gracia y poder de Cristo Resucitado.
Leemos de los apóstoles y sus families, de los
miles que fueron bautizados luego de oir a Jesús.
Oíimos cómo los discípulos continuaron difundiendo la experiencia de Cristo con otros. Vemos la
llama de la fe difundida ampliamente.
Esta misión no ha sido abandonada y la cristiandad
no ha perdido su poder. Hay aquellos entre
nosotros que son testigos vivientes de Cristo y su
ministerio que demuesta su gran fuerza. Hay un documento del II Concilio Vaticano conocido cómo el Decreto en el Apostolado de los Laicos que dice así: “los
laicos comparten de igual manera en la misión sacerdotal, profética y real de Cristo; y por tanto tienen su
propia parta en la misión del pueblo entero de Dios en
la Iglesia y en el mundo.”
¿Por qué hago eco a estas palabras específicas?
El jueves de esta semana dimos gracias por la vida y
el amor de Helen Cosgrove, parroquiana por muchos
años. Helen fue una de las fundadoras originales de
nuestra Comida a los Pobres hace más de 25 años atrás.
La Comida a los Pobres continua hasta el presente y
hay un profundo sentimiento de caridad allí. Helen
también fue ministra d muchas almas que buscaban
entender la Iglesia y el mensaje del Evangelio en sus
vidas. Ella siempre buscó entender el verdadero significado de la fe en la vida diaria. Hace un par de semanas,
visité a Helen y hablábamos de un libro que ella estaba
leyendo sobre comprensión contemporánea de la Escritura. Estamos muy agradecidos por esa luz tan especial y la inspiración que encontramos en Helen.
¡Que Helen descanse en paz!
El Evangelio de hoy nos recuerda la naturaleza del
Dios a quien adoramos.: “Yo soy el Buen Pastor.” Que
podamos encontrar la aseguranza en nuestro encuentro
con Cristo a través de estas palabras. Estoy también
muy inspirado por la ordenación de Leo Restrepo,
cómo diácono permanente para Lourdes. Por favor
vengan a conocer a Leo y su esposa Amparo después
de la misa de las 11:30 en el Patio de la Rectoría. Que
Dios bendiga a Leo y Amparo. Que ellos reciban la rica
misericordia del Pastor en el abrazo a su ministerio.
Finalmente, felicitaciones a nuestros adolescents,
que celebraron el Sacramento de la Confirmación este
viernes pasado; y para nuestros niños más pequeños
que estarán haciendo su Primera Comunión el próximo
fín de semana. Que Dios bendiga a todos nuestros
catequistas por mantener el Espíritu de Dios vivo entre
nuestra gente joven.
keeping the Spirit alive among us with our young people.

A PILGRIMAGE OF TRUST IN CHICAGO
This summer hundreds of young adults will hear this
message, “take part in your local church… be part of
a parish.”
This encouragement is proclaimed at the end of a 3
day Pilgrimage of Trust on Memorial Day weekend,
(May 25-28), when young adults (ages 18-25) have an
unique opportunity to experience a community of prayer,
hospitality and faith sharing during this weekend created
by the Taize Brothers from France.
The Taize Brothers organize large gatherings each
year in cities around the world. This year the pilgrimage
will take place at DePaul University in Lincoln Park.
Young people will come to pray, meet others, to reflect
on the Gospel and to live the experience of Church as a
community of hope. Young adults can register online:

FIGMENTS is coming…
The St. Sebastian Player’s next production opens next weekend on
Friday, April 27.
The farce Figments by Billy St. John closes the season. Rick Jacobs is a
playwright with a wild imagination. As he attempts to overcome a massive case of writer’s block, the audience sees four figments of his imagination ply out the opening scene of his next murder mystery. He –and
they– is/are interrupted by the arrival of his neighbor, Loni, with whom
Rick is secretly, and hopelessly, in love. As Rick’s thoughts bounce between his frustrating love life and his play, the real people and the figments of Rick’s imagination clash riotously with the fictional characters of his play.
Performances are at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. on Sundays through May 20.
Opening night on April 27th there will be a complimentary post-show reception with the actors.
The suggested donation is $15 for adults and $7 for children and seniors. All shows are at the
theater at St. Bonaventure, 1625 W. Diversey Parkway. Reservation can be made at 773-4047922
