1 Interfaith Airport Chapels of Chicago Chicago Midway and O Hare International Airports P.O. Box Chicago, Illinois (773) 686-AMEN (2636) WEEK OF DECEMBER 1, 2013 WELCOME TO THE INTERFAITH AIRPORT CHAPELS OF CHICAGO! The O Hare Airport Chapel and the Midway Airport Chapel are each a peaceful oasis in a busy venue. A place to bow your head in prayer while lifting up your heart and spirit! Prayer books and rugs, rosaries, and worship materials are available, as are chaplains for spiritual counsel. You are welcome to attend Mass or Worship services and to come to the chapels (open 24/7) to pray or meditate. May God bless your travels. Fr. Michael Zaniolo, Administrator CHAPEL BIRTHDAYS, ANNIVERSARIES, EVENTS Birthday blessings & best wishes go out to Philip E. Ostwald this Wednesday, Dec. 4. Sunday, Dec. 1, is the 14th anniversary of the death of FR. THOMAS HANLON. A retired Air Force chaplain with the rank of colonel, Fr. Hanlon was ordained in 1938 along with Fr. Peter Hayes, his dear friend, who also assisted us at the O Hare Chapel for many years. In the mid-1980's he began celebrating Mass at the O Hare Chapel, continuing up to the year he died. He often referred to himself as O Hare s oldest employee, having been a caddy when part of the present-day airport was a golf course in the 1920's. We will always remember his endearing recitation of The Cremation of Sam McGee at the chapel Christmas party, and miss his kindness, wit and warmth. INTERFAITH CALENDAR & SPECIAL OBSERVANCES November 28 through December 5: Chanukah the eightday festival of light that began on the eve of the 25th of the Jewish month of Kislev (evening of Wednesday, November 27) celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, of purity over adulteration, of spirituality over materiality. Concludes Thursday, December 5. More than twenty-one centuries ago, the Holy Land was ruled by the Seleucids (Syrian-Greeks), who sought to forcefully Hellenize the people of Israel. Against all odds, a small band of faithful Jews defeated one of the mightiest armies on earth, drove the Greeks from the land, reclaimed the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and rededicated it to the service of G-d. When they sought to light the Temple's menorah (the seven branched candelabrum), they found only a single cruse of olive oil that had escaped contamination by the Greeks; miraculously, the one-day supply burned for eight days, until new oil could be prepared under conditions of ritual purity. To commemorate and publicize these miracles, the sages instituted the festival of Chanukah. At the heart of the festival is the nightly menorah (candelabrum) lighting: a single flame on the first night, two on the second evening, and so on till the eighth night of Chanukah, when all eight lights are kindled. On Chanukah we also add the Hallel and Al HaNissim in our daily prayers to offer praise and thanksgiving to G-d for "delivering the strong into the hands of the weak, the many into the hands of the few... the wicked into the hands of the righteous. Chanukah customs include eating foods fried in oil -- latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiot (doughnuts); playing with the dreidel (a spinning top on which are inscribed the Hebrew letters nun, gimmel, hei and shin, an acronym for Nes Gadol Hayah Sham, "a great miracle happened there"); and the giving of Chanukah gelt, gifts of money, to children.

The Season of Advent is a time of preparation for the Feast of the Nativity - Christmas - and is observed with fasting, prayers, and meditation to dispose all to welcome Christ. Observed by Christians as early as the 4th century, it is mentioned in 380 at the Council of Saragossa. The season, though penitential, is not without a spirit of joy, hope, and anticipation, a time when minds are directed to the second coming of Christ. On the third Sunday, known as Gaudete Sunday, a special note of joy is introduced into the liturgy, indicating the assurance of everyone in the redemption of mankind by Christ. It ends before the first evening prayer of Christmas. [Encyclopedia of Catholicism] ADVENT is a Latin word meaning a coming or arrival, like the Greek word parousia, and refers to the coming of the Lord. ADVENT COLOR: The predominant liturgical color of Advent is purple. The ancient tradition of purple symbolizes Advent's emphasis on repentance, signaled by John the Baptist s call to reform our lives and make straight the way of the Lord. ADVENT WREATH: The Advent wreath is probably the most popular symbol of Advent. Its bright candles dominate the wreath, symbols of the Light of the World who overcomes the darkness and warms a wintry world. The candles, lit week by week, first one, then two, three, and finally four candles at a time, most often consist of three purple or blue candles and one pink. The pink one, lit on the third Sunday in Advent, is the "Rejoice" candle. The sequential lighting of the wreath, whether in the center of the congregation or the family gathering, leads us to Christmas. FESTIVAL OF NINE LESSONS & CAROLS DEC. 15 A FESTIVAL OF NINE LESSONS AND CAROLS featuring The St. Julian Eymard Adult & Children Choirs, with a Prayer Service presided over by Bishop Francis Kane and Rev. Leon Rezula, will be held at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15, at St. Julian Eymard Parish, 601 Biesterfield Road, Elk Grove Village, IL. ADMISSION IS FREE. (All donations gratefully accepted!)

2 First Sunday of Advent December 1, 2013 You... must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come. Matthew 24:44 GETTING READY Today marks the beginning of another liturgical year. The tone of today s readings casts us in the role of students learning solemn lessons. The reading from Isaiah sets the stage, calling us up a mountain to receive the Lord s instruction. In this passage we study peace. Then Paul steps forth with sober admonitions. We have to wake up; the day is almost here. Live honorably in the light. Paul reminds us that we really do know the time in which we are living. Finally, Matthew presents Jesus the storyteller. Just imagine, Jesus tells us, what it was like in Noah s time. He paints a vivid picture of ordinary people living ordinary lives and ignoring the warnings that Noah heeded. Totally unconcerned, they were destroyed. How will it be any different for us? No one knows when the Lord will come. But we have been warned. Perhaps we find such sobering scriptures unappealing and threatening. But within them there is promise. We are to live in the light with nothing to hide. We are to be ready. Copyright J. S.

They were not merely urging us to sing at Mass, but suggesting that the song itself is a sign of the love of Christ. Love never expressed dies, as we know from experience. Flowers for no special reason, a caress, a hug, a turn around the dance floor, a note on the pillow or in the lunchbox, the aroma of fresh bread in the kitchen, all are signs of love s vitality. A significant treasure in our Catholic tradition is the place of the sacraments as signs of Christ s love. We can trace the sacraments back to scriptural sources, through centuries of history They are woven through family tradition and our own life story. Sacraments are the way Christ makes signs of love for the Church. For twenty centuries, God has spoken to us in the arena of the sacraments, and we have responded. For the next year of Treasure essays, we will explore the story of sacraments: their sources, their signs and rituals, and the way Christ nurtures and sustains us as we encounter him, the companion on our journey who loves us and faithfully makes signs of that love. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. TIME OF PREPARATION: Let s approach Christmas with an expectant hush, rather than a last-minute rush. Anonymous This life is the time of our preparation for our future state. Our souls will continue for ever what we make them in this world. John Tillotson, Archbishop of Canterbury This Week in the Life of the Church Being a compendium of feast days and notable events in Church history. Sunday, December 1, 2013 We Remember: ST. ELIGIUS (c )If today's saint rings a bell, you may have been a fan of the 1980's TV show St. Elsewhere, about a Boston hospital named St. Eligius. Oddly, Eligius had nothing to do with medicine; he was skillful metalsmith. A native of Limoges, he was appointed master of the mint at Paris under King Clotaire II. In 640, he abandoned this office to become a priest, and was later ordained bishop of Noyen. He evangelized the districts around Antwerp, Ghent, and Courtrai, and founded Solignac Abbey, among many other monasteries and convents. He was among the most popular and loved saints during the Middle Ages. Some examples of his great skill survived until the French Revolution. (D, B) ST. EDWARD CAMPION ( ), the most famous of the Jesuit martyrs of England and Wales, died this day, age 41. He is among some 357 English and Welsh Catholics put to death by the English state between 1535 and 1680 for refusing to take the Oath of Supremacy that acknowledged the king (or queen) as head of the Church of England, or simply for being priests or sheltering priests. Pope Paul VI canonized a representative group of 40 martyrs in 1970, and their feast is observed October 25. St. Edward died at Tyburn along with Alexander Briant and Ralph Sherwin. In his name, the annual Campion Award is given by the Catholic Book Club to recognize eminence in the field of Catholic letters. (E,S) Monday, December 2, 2013 We Remember: In 1980, the MARTYRDOM OF SISTERS MAURA CLARK, DOROTHY KAZEL, ITA FORD, AND LAY MISSIONER JEAN DONOVAN, the American churchwomen who were murdered by rogue elements of the Salvadoran National Guard in El Salvador. Maura Clarke ( ) was a Maryknoll Sister who made her first profession in 1953, taught at an interracial school in the Bronx, and in 1959 was assigned to the Maryknoll Mission in Nicaragua. After the 1972 earthquake, she worked in a resettlement camp for victims of the earthquake, assisting in leadership and catechetical training and formation of basic Christian communities. Sister Maura returned to the U.S. from 1977 to 1979 to work with a mission education team, but in 1980 responded to the call to go to El Salvador to help with the emergency needs of a country deeply wounded by years of civil war. With Sister Ita Ford, she searched out the missing, prayed with families of prisoners, buried the dead, and worked with the people in their struggle to break out of the bonds of oppression, poverty and violence. Although she spent almost 20 years in Central America, her time in El Salvador was only a matter of months. When returning to El Salvador after attending a regional assembly in Nicaragua, she and Sister Ita were met at the airport by two members of the Cleveland Mission Team, their friends, lay missioner Jean Donovan and Ursuline Sister Dorothy Kazel. Dorothy Kazel ( ) entered the Ursuline Community in 1960, taking the name Sister Laurentine, a prophetic choice since an Ursuline martyred during the French Revolution bore that name. She made final vows in 1968, and in July, 1974, was appointed to the Cleveland Diocesan Latin American Mission team to serve five years in El Salvador. There she served in three parishes, assisting with the liturgy, preparing children for First Communion, helping to train lay catechists, teaching reading, and instructing women in basic nutrition and child care. When political unrest and violence escalated in 1977, Dorothy was undaunted, taking on additional tasks of transporting the dispossessed to refugee camps, helping bury the slain, and counseling survivors.. She was deeply affected by the murder of Archbishop Oscar Romero in March, 1980, and wrote to President Jimmy Carter to protest the use of U.S. money to intimidate and exterminate thousands of innocent people. Her five year term drawing to a close, she offered to remain one more year to help the Cleveland team's new recruits. Shortly afterwards, on the evening of Dec. 2, 1980, she and her co-worker, lay missioner Jean Donovan, drove their van to El Salvador International Airport to pick up Maura and Ita.

3 Ita Ford ( ) entered the Maryknoll Sisters in 1961, withdrew for health reasons in 1964, and returned in She worked in Santiago, Chile, to organize a women's embroidery group, but her principal work was evangelizing adults, especially married couples, with a view towards forming small Christian communities. She was present during the military coup of 1973, and stayed on to minister to the people in the years of hardship and persecution. In April, 1980, she transferred to El Salvador and began working with Sister Carol Piette doing emergency work. Sister Carol drowned in August of that year during a flash flood that almost took Ita's life as well. In November, 1980, she attended a regional assembly of the Maryknoll Sisters in Nicaragua, flying back to El Salvador with her companion, Sister Maura. At the closing liturgy of the Maryknoll Assembly on the day before she died, Sister Ita read a passage from Archbishop Romero: "Christ invites us not to fear persecution because, believe me, brothers and sisters, he who is committed to the poor must run the same fate as the poor, and in El Salvador we know what the fate of the poor signifies: to disappear, be tortured, to be captive - and to be found dead." Jean Donovan ( ) got a master's degree in economics and worked for three years as a management consultant before resolving to join a mission team in La Libertad, El Salvador, sponsored by the diocese of Cleveland. After several months of training she arrived in La Libertad, a town of 15,000 on El Salvador's Pacific border, 15 miles from the capital, San Salvador. Her assignment included bookkeeping for the mission, food distribution, and organizing Bible study groups. As violence increased, she assisted in burying the victims of death squads. On Dec. 2, 1980, Jean and Dorothy drove to the airport to pick up Maura and Ita. On their return, the four were abducted somewhere along the road by five Salvadoran national guardsmen who drove them to a deserted area where they were tortured, raped, and shot at close range. The bodies, which had been buried in shallow ground, were found the next day by peasants in the area. U. S. Ambassador White was notified and sought a fuller investigation. Later, five low level miliary men were charged, but higher level responsibility was never established. International public outrage at the murder of the churchwomen became so great that the Salvadoran government ultimately arrested the guardsmen. But almost four years passed before they were tried, found guilty, and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Not long before she died, Jean Donovan wrote to a friend, "Several times I have decided to leave El Salvador. I almost could except for the children, the poor bruised victims of this insanity. Who would care for them? Whose heart could be so staunch as to favor the reasonable thing in a sea of their tears and loneliness? Not mine, dear friend, not mine." (Catholic Encyclopedia) In his 1983 book Gracias: A Latin American Journal, the late Fr. Henri Nouwen remembers a celebration on the first anniversary of the deaths of the four American churchwomen in El Salvador: "Many sisters and priests from the United States, along with their Bolivian and American friends, came together in the parish church of Cala Cala to pray for their sisters who died such a violent and cruel death. It was a moving service in which faith and hope dominated the sadness about the tragic loss... "As I listened I realized that Ita, Maura, Dorothy and Jean were just a few in the growing number of Christians who died as witnesses for the suffering Christ in Latin America. Hundreds and thousands of men and women in El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia, as well as in the other countries of Central and South America, have died violent deaths during the last decade - and, for the most part, we do not even know their names. It suddenly struck me that with the thousands of Latin Americans who died, there are few with Anglo-Saxon names. The courage of those few North Americans who came to live and die with their brothers and sisters in South and Central America is a hopeful reminder that God's love transcends all human-made boundaries." IN 1960, GEOFFREY FRANCIS FISHER, 99th Archbishop of Canterbury, met with Pope John XXIII at the Vatican to talk and pray together - the first meeting between leaders of the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches since the founding of the Church of England in (W) In 1964, POPE PAUL VI flew to Bombay, India, for the 38th International Eucharistic Congress. It was the first visit by a pope to that country. He consecrated six bishops while he was there. (W) Tuesday, December 3, 2013 We Remember: ST. FRANCIS XAVIER ( ) was a French Jesuit missionary known as the "Apostle of the Indies" and the "Apostle of Japan." He met St. Ignatius Loyola while he was a student in Paris, and eventually helped create the Society of Jesus. When Jesuits were requested for missionary work in the East, Xavier was selected. He arrived in Goa, India, in He baptized many among the lower caste of India but was unsuccessful at evangelizing those among the higher caste Brahmin. Xavier left for Japan in 1549 and spent two successful years there. In 1552, while trying to arrange entry into China, he died on an island off the China coast. He was canonized in (E) IN 1839, Pope Gregory XIV issued a letter in which he condemned slavery and the trading of slaves and forbade all Roman Catholics from having anything to do with the practices (W) Wednesday, December 4, 2013 We Remember: ST. JOHN DAMASCENE ( ) was the author of the first real compendium of theology, the Fountain of Wisdom, as well as numerous liturgical hymns. He was the last of the Greek fathers and first of the Christian Aristotelians. His poems are used in the Greek liturgy and his eloquent use of the Greek language caused him to be called CHRYSORRHOAS, or "gold -pouring." Pope Leo XIII proclaimed him Doctor of the Church in John was a native of Damascus, where his father represented the Christians at the court of the Muslim caliph. He was educated by Cosmos, a Sicilian monk who had been brought into Syria as a slave. John succeeded his father at court and for a time served as finance minister for the caliph, but later resigned his post and proceeded to Jerusalem, where he entered the Byzantine monastery of Mar Saba. Ordained a priest in 726, he dedicated himself to study and writing; together with the Patriarch of Constantinople and Pope Gregory II, John Damascene was one of the principal defenders of the use of images in religious worship. In this regard he made the following statement: "It is not the material that we honor, but what it represents; the honor paid to images goes to the one who is represented by the image." In spite of all his accomplishments, he referred to himself as a "lowly and useless servant who would do better to confess his sins to God than to become involved in theological and political matters." (S,B) Thursday, December 5, 2013 We Remember: ST. SABAS ( ) the saint who founded the Byzantine monastery mentioned in yesterday s entry. Born in Cappadocia, Sabas went to Palestine to learn the life of a hermit, and eventually founded Mar Saba in the mountainous desert of Judea between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. This holy place produced many saints and still flourishes as one of the three or four oldest inhabited monasteries in the world. Sabas is regarded as one of the founders of Eastern monasticism. Appointed Archimandrite (abbot) over all the Palestinian houses, Sabas played a prominent part in the campaign against the Eutychian heresy, which held that Christ had but one nature. The heresy was condemned, along with Monophysitism, at the fourth ecumenical Council of Chalcedon in 451. The incorrupt body of St. Sabas, enshrined in Rome for many centuries, was returned to Mar Saba after the Second Vatican Council as an ecumenical gesture. (G, B) Friday, December 6, 2013 We Remember: ST. NICHOLAS (c. 350), upon whom the legend of Santa Claus is based. One of the most popular saints in Christendom - with more than 2,000 churches named in his honor throughout Europe Nicholas was born in the ancient southeastern Turkish town of Lycia. As a wealthy young man, Nicholas distributed all his possessions among the poor and entered a monastery, where he became abbot. In time he became bishop of Myra and was among those who signed the document affirming the divinity of Christ at the Council of Nicea (325); he condemned Arianism, and one legend has it that he actually slapped the heretic Arius. During a persecution of the Church, he was imprisoned and tortured. He is believed to have died Dec. 6 about 350 at age 65. In 1087, as Myra passed into the hands of the Saracens, Italian mer-

4 chants took his relics and enshrined them at Bari, where they remain today. St. Nicholas is remembered as a great miracle worker and venerated as the patron saint of sailors, captives, and especially of children, owing to various legends. Devotion to St. Nicholas has been widespread in the Greek, Slavic and Russian Churches, and he is the patron of Russia, Greece, Sicily and Lorraine, France. In the 11th century, the custom originated of giving sweets to children on the eve of the feast of St. Nicholas. During the Reformation, St. Nicholas was banished from many European countries, replaced by secular figures such as Britain's Father Christmas and France's Papa Noel. Neither was known as a lavish gift-giver to children, who in general were not center stage at that point in history. The Dutch kept the St. Nicholas tradition alive. As the "protector of sailors," St. Nicholas graced the prow of the first Dutch ship that arrived in America, and the first church built in New York City was named after him. Popular cultural representation of "St. Nick" is based on the custom of giving children presents on his feast day (as their patron), and the Dutch Protestants of New Amsterdam linking this to Nordic folklore of a magician who punished naughty children and rewarded exemplary ones with presents. They spelled St. Nicholas "Sint Nikolass," which in the New World became "Sinterklass." When the Dutch lost control of New Amsterdam to the English in the 17th century, Sinterklass was Anglicized to Santa Claus. (G,B,S,L; also, Extraordinary Origins of Everyday Things, by Charles Panati.) Saturday, December 7, 2013 We Remember: ST. AMBROSE OF MILAN, ( ) who was born of a Roman Christian family, became a lawyer, and eventually a consul in the region of Milan, Italy. He was named bishop by popular acclamation, although he was still a catechumen! Eight days later he was baptized and, after receiving further instruction, was ordained a bishop. He frequently had to defend the rights and freedom of the Church, sometimes even against the emperor. He made no compromises when it was a question of the rights of the Church. When the emperor Theodosius tried to enter a church after having been the cause of the death of 7,000 people, Ambrose prevented him. And when the emperor cited the example of David, Ambrose replied: "If you have imitated David in sinning, then imitate him in doing penance." Later, in 390, the emperor did do penance and was reconciled with the Church. St. Ambrose insisted that the emperor is a member of the Church, but he is not over the Church. Ambrose was an apostle of charity, a reformer of the liturgy, a director of souls (he instructed and baptized St. Augustine at Easter, 385), a defender of the vow of virginity, and a commentator on the Old Testament and the Gospel according to Luke. Always weak in health, he died in 397 on April 4 or 5, in Milan. Since the 11th century, his feast has been celebrated in Rome on Dec. 7, the date of his ordination as a bishop. In 1298, he was listed as a Doctor of the Church, together with Augustine, Jerome, and Gregory the Great. (S) In 1965, POPE PAUL VI and the ECUMENICAL PA- TRIARCH ATHENAGORAS I of the Greek Church, issued a joint declaration constituting an act of reconciliation between the Eastern and Western churches. Legates of Pope Leo IX and Patriarch Michael Caerularius had issued the destructive decrees of mutual excommunication in the 11th century. (W) Also in 1965, promulgation of Gaudium et Spes a document on the Church in the modern world which raised the issues of nuclear arms, family life, work, poverty and atheism. (W) In 1972, REV. W. STERLING CARY was elected president of the National Council of Churches. He was the first African-American to hold the office.
