P age T wo 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!

A wakenings 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. Bernadette Moore-Gibson is the Director of Pastoral Care at Old St. Patrick’s Church.

Kinship Initiative Monthly Gathering Tuesday, February 23 | 6 - 8 p.m. Lawndale Christian Health Center Skyline Conference Room, 4th Floor 3750 W. Ogden Avenue, Chicago 60623 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 ([email protected]) 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.

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.

Franz Joseph Haydn

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 on Sunday, April 3, 2016! Not a runner? Not sure how you’ll be able to run nearly five miles? Don’t fret! Our 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.

SHAMROCK SHUFFLE TRAINING SCHEDULE - WEEK 2 MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY

That was an impressive week. Take the day off and REST today. Take it EASY today with a 20-minute or 2 mile run (2 minute run, 3 minute walk) 30 minute WALK Another EASY day with a 20-minute or 2 mile run (2 minute run, 3 minute walk) REST DAY

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 [email protected].

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.

Women and Men of Faith

February 18 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. Adapted from www.americancatholic. org

Prayer Requests: Names of the sick or recently deceased are listed for one week in the prayers of the faithful and two subsequent weeks in the bulletin. Please call Bernadette Gibson at 312.798.2389 to add a name to the list.
