May: The Month of Mary

May is the month when we traditionally honor Mary with a special emphasis on her role in the devotional life of the Church. We celebrate May Crowning, pray the rosary daily (at least one decade of the mysteries) and bring out the old favorite Marian hymns. For many people these devotions seem to be a nostalgic clinging to the past, but in fact are real-ly tried and true ways to help bring us into the presence of God. The devotional life of the Church endures because it has deep spiritual meaning for those who practice it.

Part of the reason for this is because Mary reminds us of ourselves. When we pray with Mary we see our story in her story. The meditation on the mysteries of the rosary draw us into the life of Christ. The mysteries allow us to see him through the eyes of Mary. These salvific events of Jesus’ life then become real to us, helping us to relate God’s plan of salvation to the events and circumstances of our own lives. In Mary’s response to the Christ events in her life we are given a model for our own response. Of course, the role of Mary is much greater than this, but looking at Mary through this lens makes a good starting point for our own reflections on the love of God. May Mary’s Magnificat lead us to our own exaltation in the joy of Easter!

Fifth Sunday of Easter

The reading from the Acts of the Apostles describes St. Paul’s difficulties when he first arrives in Jerusalem after his conversion. The disciples initially act with disbelief and are afraid of Paul. Paul, the last they had heard, was a violent persecutor of Christians. Barnabas, a Church leader, speaks on behalf of Paul, easing everyone’s fears. Paul then moved about freely in Jerusalem and spoke out boldly in the name of the Lord. Soon a plot is hatched to kill Paul. The Church, which St. Luke describes as “at peace” and growing in numbers, sends Paul away to safety. In the first Letter of St. John, we hear his response to the mistaken belief of some Christians, that all that is necessary for salvation is pro-fessing faith in Jesus. Throughout John’s Letter we hear him speak of the “commandment” to love others. St. John tells us: “Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.” To remain in Christ one must keep his commandments. In the Gospel of John today Jesus tells us he is the true vine, and his Father is the vine grower. Jesus says we are the branches that glorify God when we bear much fruit and become his disciples. This happens, says Jesus, when we remain in him through lives of love. God then prunes the branches in order that we may bear much fruit.

Acts 9: 26-31 1 John 3: 18-24 John 15: 1-8

From the Pastor’s Desk

Today we celebrate the Firth Sunday of Easter. In the reading from the Acts of the Apostles we hear that St. Paul has begun his public ministry, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. The Church was at peace and grew in numbers. In spite of troubles with the Hellenists and the Jewish leaders, the community of faith had the peace and consolation of the Holy Spirit. This is a good reminder that we, too, can have inner peace if we trust in the Lord. St. John tells us in his First Letter that if we keep his commandments we will remain in God’s love and our hearts will be reassured and we will experience the presence of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. In the gospel Jesus reminds us that God is the vine grower. It is God himself who nurtures and protects us.

Our Sunday readings during the Easter season from John’s gospel show us that Jesus acts out of the power of God’s love. Salvation comes from participating in that love by allowing ourselves to be drawn into the experience of that love. The Scriptures give us the story: God is telling us about his redemptive activities in human history, culminat-ing in the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. In today’s gospel Jesus reminds us that we have to stay connected to the source, which is Christ himself. To stay connected to the source is why we come to mass, pray, read the Bible and celebrate the sacraments. Failure to do so cuts us off from the source of the love that is the power that conquers sin and death. Last week Jesus told us to listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd and to follow that voice. Today we hear that we are the branches connected to the vine of Christ. Both these gospel stories are metaphors for staying connected to the source of life. When we bear the good fruit of the Spirit we know we are connected to the vine. We are grafted onto the true vine at baptism when we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. We are to nurture that gift, listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us and bear good fruit by obeying Christ’s commands to love God and our neighbor.

On Saturday we celebrated the Sacrament of First Holy Communion with sixty-three of our children and their families. This is always a beautiful celebration of our faith. Many thanks to all who made it such a lovely celebra-tion, particularly the teachers and catechists who did such a wonderful job preparing the children. I hope to have some pictures to share in next week’s bulletin.

The services for Cardinal George last week were a wonderful tribute to a very holy man. The Rite of Reception was held Tuesday afternoon, followed by open visitation. Archbishop Cupich preached at the Archdiocesan priest prayer service on Tuesday evening. It was quite moving for us as we gathered around our shepherd. Open visitation continued on Wednesday and Thursday, with thousands of mourn-ers coming to pray and to pay their respects. The cathedral was packed for the funeral at noon on Thursday. The Cardinal’s friend and colleague, Archbishop Peter Sartain of Seattle preached a great funeral homily. His description of the Cardinal was perfect: a man with a brilliant mind in love with God. Please keep Cardinal George and his family in your prayers.

On Thursday the Sports Association hosted the annual Sports Award Banquet. It’s a nice time to recognize the achievements of our student athletes. More importantly, it was a time to celebrate the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, cooperation and friendship. I also want to recognize all the board members of the Sports Association and all the coaches who spend hundreds of hours every year to provide these opportunities for our young people. Thank you to the board, the coaches, volunteers and parents who worked so hard on this evening and throughout the year.

Next weekend we celebrate Mother’s Day with a special blessing during the mass. Our Respect Life parishioners will hold the annual Flower Sale to help families in crisis pregnancies. Beautiful bouquets of flowers will be availa-ble after all the masses. Also this weekend we will have a second collection for Catholic Charities to assist needy Chicagoland families.

Coming up on Monday, May 11th will be our New Parishioner Dinner. Please mark your calendars for Friday May 15th when we will honor our Blessed Mother with the celebration of May Crowning at 7 p.m.

Have a great week. Sincerely, Fr. Neil

Catholic Charities Collection on Mother’s Day

After spending years in a Nepali refugee camp, the Jha family arrived here with nothing. Catholic Charities met them at the airport and took them in hand, helping them learn English, find work, enroll in school, and get medical care. They were among the 469 refugees we resettled last year. Please give to Catholic charities on Mother’s Day to help refugees build a new and hopeful life. Learn more at www. Catholiccharities.net. “All of us together are a family in the Church, who is our Mother.” Pope Francis
