Christifideles Award 2011

Christifideles Award 2011

MALONES AWARDED CHRISTIFIDELES HONORS
On Sunday, members of all churches in the Archdiocese of Chicago gathered at Holy Name Cathedral for distribution of the Christifideles Laici Award. This award is given to lay people who have demonstrated by participation in parish life, the personal and ministerial renewal called for by the Papal Exhortation, Christifideles Laici. This calls laity to the vocation of responsibility for the Church’s life springing from the gift and mission of their baptism. Individual parishes nominate honorees.

Awardees are to be practicing Catholics who manifest an understanding of the teachings of the Church and have been graced with a life formed in the Catholic Spiritual Tradition. Individuals have used their talents to deepen the life of the Church in the parish or have served in an extraordinary way the ministry of the parish.

Happy Anniversary!

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR PRIESTS

On Monday, May 9, our Pastor, Monsignor Jim Kaczorowski, will mark 38 years as a priest for the Archdiocese of Chicago. This Thursday, May 12, our Resident, Father John Griffiths, will celebrate 35 years of priesthood. Both have served the Archdiocese in many capacities, and we are now blessed that they are with us at Queen of Angels to celebrate Mass and serve our people.

Happy anniversary, Father Griffiths and Monsignor Kaczorowski! Thank you for all your hard work, wisdom and guidance. May God bless your ministry, those whose lives you touch, and you!

"Emmanuel"

BUILDING ON 100 YEARS OF SHARING AND CARING
We are on the brink of celebrating the birth of Jesus, the one whom people spoke about for centuries as the promised one, Emmanuel, the one who would bring peace. This is especially true of the prophet, Isaiah, who gave us great hope in his writings concerning the Messiah. His words come to us today in the first reading where Isaiah tells King Ahaz to trust in God as he faces the ups and downs of ruling his Kingdom and the difficulties he experienced in trying to maintain peace. Isaiah tells him that in the future one would come for whom he and all the people of Israel had been longing, the true Emmanuel—God with us!

Advent begins

Adventwreath1A Blessing for Your Advent Wreath:
O God, by whose word all things are made holy,
grant your blessing on this wreath
and on our family who will pray around it.
Father of All, may your Holy Spirit
prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ.
May we receive abundant graces from you
through Jesus our Lord. Amen.

ADVENT: TIME FOR CONTEMPLATION AND READINESS
Today we begin the season of Advent, time for preparing for the birth of Christ. God invites us during this time to get in touch with the mystery surrounding the event celebrating this birth. Mary, our patron saint of Queen of Angels, is one of the key figures of the Advent season. Her life was turned around when she received the call to be the mother of God.

“Comparación”

CONSTRUYENDO EN 100 AÑOS DE COMPARTIR Y CUIDAR
La historia del Evangelio de hoy nos deja echar una mirada a una de las tendencias que, me atrevería a decir, ocasionalmente encontramos en cada uno de nosotros; esto es, la tentación de compararnos con alguien mas de manera positiva o negativa. Jesús era buenísimo en demostrar su mensaje al contar una historia o según lo dice la escritura, al relatar una parábola.

“Whatever we do for the least of our brothers and sisters, we do for our Lord Jesus Christ”

BUILDING ON 100 YEARS OF SHARING AND CARING
As we continue to move through the Sundays of this cycle of the Church year, the Gospel of Luke does not cease to challenge us in ways that call for a personal reexamination in life’s choices. Both the first reading from the prophet Amos and Luke’s Gospel account paint some sad realities when priorities in life are not reassessed. We come face-to-face with a commentary of riches and poverty that is as appreciated today as it was in the days of Jesus, especially given the present situation of our economy.

Christmas Letter from the Pastor

Dear Parishioner,

Christ came on earth to reveal an extraordinary message, the message of love, joy and happiness. Christ asks us to have love for one another, to be reconciled to one another, to accept one another.

THE NAME GAME

Today’s solemnity might have been “Saints Simon and Saul” if it hadn’t been for some renaming. There are numerous examples from the Bible of people being given new names to indicate their new status in God’s plan of salvation. This practice begins with Abraham, and we see the fruit of that in today’s renaming of Simon as Peter when he makes his great profession of faith in Jesus as Messiah (Christ) and Son of God. Saul, though Acts recounts a significant conversion experience for him, is renamed rather silently by the New Testament. Even though the author of the Acts of the Apostles occasionally slips and still calls him “Saul” after his conversion experience, his new name—most likely intended by the New Testament to differentiate his Christian mission from his life as a Jew—occurs most frequently in Acts, and exclusively in his own letters, as “Paul.” The naming of Peter is reminiscent of our own naming at baptism, when our own faith in Jesus as Christ was proclaimed. Even though most of us never go through a changing of our proper name later in life (though this was characteristic of religious profession for many years), a bit of reflection will help us to discern the ways in which God has called us anew or named us again for our own role in proclaiming the Good News.

TODO ESTÁ EN EL NOMBRE La solemnidad de hoy podría haber sido “Santos Simón y Saúl” si no hubiese existido un cambio de nombre. En la Biblia hay numerosos ejemplos de personas que recibieron un nuevo nombre como una indicación de su nueva situación en el plan de salvación de Dios. Esta costumbre empieza con Abrahán, y vemos sus frutos hoy cuando Simón recibe el nombre de Pedro cuando hace su gran profesión de fe al reconocer a Jesús como Mesías (Cristo) e Hijo de Dios. Saúl recibe más bien silenciosamente su nuevo nombre en el Nuevo Testamento, aunque los Hechos relata su experiencia de conversión. Aunque el autor de los Hechos de los Apóstoles comete ocasionalmente un desliz y lo sigue llamando “Saúl” después de su conversión, el nuevo nombre — más probablemente para diferenciar en el Nuevo Testamento su misión cristiana de su vida como judío — se menciona más frecuentemente en Hechos, y exclusivamente en sus epístolas como “Pablo.” El nuevo nombre de Pedro recuerda un hecho similar en nuestro bautismo, en el que se proclama nuestra fe en Jesucristo. Aunque la mayoría de nosotros nunca se cambia el nombre (aunque por muchos años fue característica de los miembros de comunidades religiosas), un poco de reflexión nos ayudará a discernir las maneras en las que Dios nos invita hace una nueva invitación o nos llama nuevamente a cumplir la misión de proclamar la Buena Nueva.
