William Bulis, Great Lakes Naval Station; Alison Ruble, Pres./CEO, USO Illinois; Ald. Edward Burke (14th Ward) and Ald. Mary O'Connor, 41st Ward cut the ribbon for the newly-relocated Butch O'Hare display. Fr. Michael Zaniolo, Catholic Chaplain at O Hare and Administrator of the Interfaith Airport Chapels of Chicago, participated in a re-dedication of the the replica F4F-3 Grumman Wildcat plane that was flown by World War II Lt. Commander Edward H. "Butch" O'Hare, for whom the airport is named. The ceremony, which was held September 25, included a Color Guard from USO Illinois and a speaking program with Chicago Dept. of Aviation Commissioner Rosemarie S. Andolino; Alison Ruble, President and CEO, USO Illinois; Captain William Bulis, Great Lakes Naval Station; Chicago Alderman (14th Ward) and Chair of the City Council Committee on Finance, Edward Burke, and Chicago Alderman (41st Ward) and Vice Chair of the City Council Committee on Aviation, Mary O'Connor. Lt. Commander Edward H. O'Hare was first U.S. Navel ace of World War II and a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient. He earned his place in World War II history when he shot down five Japanese bombers and disabled a sixth bomber during his first dogfight, two months after Pearl Harbor. O'Hare's final action took place on the night of November 26, 1943, while he was leading the U.S. Navy's first-ever nighttime fighter attack launched from an aircraft carrier. In 1949, the Chicago City Council renamed Orchard Field as Chicago-O'Hare International Airport to honor Lt. Cmdr. O'Hare. The Wildcat fighter plane on display at the airport was recovered from Lake Michigan in 1992 and was expertly restored by the Air Classics Museum. The CDA first dedicated the fighter plane with great fanfare on November 20, The plane was moved from the ticketing area of Terminal 2 in the early 2000s to a location past security in Terminal 2. It was moved back near its original location in June 2014 and is now visible to travelers in the ticketing area and is accessible to passengers on the secure side of the airport. The CDA re-built the base for the aircraft to give it a sleeker and museum-like quality and re-worked all the information panels, as well as the display cases that hold Lt. O'Hare's artifacts.

2 Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time October 5, 2014 Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Philippians 4:6 IN THE VINEYARD As usual, today s first and third scripture readings are obviously related, with the second continuing one of Paul s Letters these days, the Letter to the Philippians. The vineyard stories from Isaiah and Matthew both talk about evildoers coming to a bad end. In Isaiah, it s the vineyard itself that produces wild grapes instead of the crop the owner dreamed of and worked for. So it will be trampled and overgrown with thorns. In Matthew, those to whom the owner leased the vineyard destroy the dream. So the owner will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants (Matthew 21:41). Yes, if we reject divine love we come to a bad end. And with all this talk of the unfaithful being trampled and thrown out, it s consoling to hear Paul s message to the Philippians, who were by no means perfect. Have no anxiety at all, Paul said. Then the God of peace will be with you (Philippians 4:6, 9). Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

The Church sometimes struggles with how best to be faithful to the image of an all-forgiving God. Once a very public rite with publicly visible participation on the part of the penitent, it became in time a very private matter. By the fourteenth century, when a prayer of absolution and a laying on of hands was still required in sacramental confession, theologians were saying that even that was too much liturgy. All that was required was confession itself, and the sacramental words Ego te absolvo, or I absolve you. In 1614 the Council of Florence tried to flesh out this bare skeleton, requiring that if possible the priest should wear a stole, that the confession should be in church, and that there be questions about the person s state in life, occupation, and last confession. This is the first time the Church recommended that the penitent and priest be separated by a grill, thereby eliminating the ritual laying on of hands once so central to the sacrament, substituting the priest s raised right hand in blessing. This is the rite that remained in force until the sacrament became the subject of very stormy debates at the Second Vatican Council, leading to a major reform in 1974 that is still only partially received. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. REFLECTING ON GOD S WORD God s relationship with people is at the heart of both the first reading and the Gospel, but there is a difference. In Isaiah, destruction comes to the vineyard; in the Gospel, it comes to those entrusted with the care of the vineyard. Isaiah s song highlights the people s failure the house of Israel and the people of Judah to bear fruit, to provide the Lord who has lovingly tended this vineyard with anything more than wild grapes, that is, bloodshed and violence against each other. Because of this, the owner will turn his back on them, no longer giving care but letting it be trampled underfoot, no longer pruning or hoeing, but allowing thorns and briars to take over. This song is demanding conversion. In Jesus parable, the focus is on those entrusted with the care of the vineyard. Jesus addresses the chief priests and the elders in Jerusalem, not only criticizing their failure to care for the people adequately, but also their rejection of those God sent to call them to conversion. The parable calls all religious leaders to remember that authority is for service. Bearing fruit in our lives, being true and honorable, just and pure, lovely and gracious is the fruit God desires from all, as Paul reminds the Philippians. God s people, but especially their leaders, have a responsibility to bear fruit. No one is let off the hook. God expects a return for love so lavishly given. James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.

3 This Week in the Life of the Church Being a compendium of feast days and notable events in Church history. 27 th Sunday in Ordinary Time October 5, 2014 We Remember: Respect Life Sunday; ST. PLACID, a notable Benedictine monk who, two years before the death of St. Benedict himself, along with his two brothers, St. Eutychius and St. Victorinus, and his sister, St. Flavia, and 30 Benedictine monks, was martyred in Messina, Sicily, in 541. These are the Benedictine protomartyrs. In 1582, the Gregorian Calendar of Pope Gregory XIII, the calendar we use today, was put into effect this day, which became Oct. 15. Monday, October 6, 2014 We Remember: ST. BRUNO ( ), founder of the Carthusians. Born into nobility at Cologne, Germany, Bruno Hartenfaust studied there and at the cathedral school at Rheims, where he became the school's director. Described as "an eloquent man, expert in all the arts, and a doctor of doctors," Bruno was ordained a priest and became chancellor of the archdiocese. A strong supporter of Pope Gregory VII in his battle against simony and the low morals of the clergy, Bruno retired to a monastery founded by Robert of Molesmes, reformer of the Cistercian Order, in He constructed a hermitage in Langres, France, but eventually went to Grenoble, where the bishop gave him a solitary place called Grand Chartreuse - the cradle of the Carthusian Order, whose members live as hermits in a community setting. Bruno was called to Rome to serve his former pupil, Pope Urban II, as a counsellor. When an anti-pope was elected in 1092 he went to Calabria in southern Italy, where he founded a charterhouse of Carthusians. Before his death there, on this date in 1101, he made a profession of faith in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, against the heresy of Berengarius. The Carthusian Order is the only one in the history of the Church that has never had a reform, because it never needed one. (S) BL. MARIE ROSE DUROCHER, ( ). Assisted by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, she founded the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary; the purpose of this institute is to provide religious education to the poorest and most abandoned of children. (S) Tuesday, October 7, 2014 We Remember: OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY: This feast derives from the feast of St. Mary of Victory, instituted by the Dominican Pope Pius V after the defeat of the Turkish fleet at Lepanto on Oct. 7, In 1716, Pope Clement XI inscribed the feast in the Roman Calendar. Counting one's prayers on beads is a very ancient form of praying, used by Muslims and the people of India. Repetition of the Hail Mary on the beads of the rosary goes back to the 12th century; around the year 1328, a treatise names Rosarius referred to ST. DOMINIC as the promulgator of the rosary. This feast's title was changed from Holy Rosary to Our Lady of the Rosary in (S) In 1772, the death of JOHN WOOLMAN ( ), American Quaker preacher and campaigner against slavery. From 1743 he made long, arduous preaching journeys on foot, and in great simplicity, rallying Quaker communities against slavery. His Journal (1744) is recognized as a spiritual classic. (F) Wednesday, October 8, 2014 We Remember: ST. SIMEON (1ST C.) He was the aged man mentioned in St. Luke's Gospel who took Jesus into his arms and prophesied about Him when He was presented at the Temple. He uttered a beautiful canticle about Our Lord and told Our Lady that a sword would pierce her soul. In 1986, the Vatican took part in the Christian-Marxist World Conference on Ethics, which opened this day in Budapest, Hungary. (W) In 1989, the death of journalist PENNY LERNOUX ( ) just one month after being diagnosed with cancer. She helped tell the story of the Church in Latin America. Two weeks before her death she wrote, "I feel like I'm walking down a new path. It's not a physical fear or fear of death, because the courageous poor in Latin America have taught me a theology of life that, through solidarity and our common struggle, transcends death. Rather, it is a sense of helplessness - that I who always wanted to be the champion of the poor am just as helpless - that I, too, must hold out my begging bowl; that I must learn - am learning - the ultimate powerlessness of Christ. It is a cleansing experience. So many things seem less important, or not at all, especially my ambitions." Through her writings, especially her landmark history of the suffering church of Latin America, Cry of the People, she became a critical link between the churches of the Americas. (AS) Thursday, October 9, 2014 We Remember: ST. DENIS, the first bishop of Paris, who was beheaded about the year 250 (with companions RUSTI- CUS and ELEUTHERIUS), during the persecution of Decius. Above his tomb on the outskirts of Paris rose the great Benedictine Abbey of St. Denis, later the place of burial for the kings of France. Born in Italy and sent to evangelize Gaul (modern France), Denis is the highly venerated patron of Paris. (S,B,G) ST. JOHN LEONARDI ( ), one of the founders of an institute for educating and aiding foreign missioners, the College for the Propagation of the Faith (Collegium Urbanum de Propaganda Fide) in Rome. Born in Lucca, Italy, and educated as a pharmacist, he left that profession at age 25 to study for the priesthood. He worked with great zeal in prisons and hospitals. (S,B) In 1845, the conversion of JOHN HENRY CARDINAL NEW- MAN to the Roman Catholic Church, the culmination of almost 30 years of searching for the truth, much of it under a firm conviction that the Catholic Church was a great evil and something to be avoided with dread. He was ordained an Anglican priest in 1825; about 1832 he accompanied a sick friend on a health tour of the Mediterranean area and became seriously ill himself. Convalescing in Sicily, he made trips to many Catholic shrines and churches in southern Europe, leading Fr. Newman to write his renowned poem Lead Kindly Light - and to begin rethinking his position on the Catholic Church. Passionist Fr. Dominic Barberi received Newman into the Catholic Church along with a group of his followers. Two years after his conversion, he was ordained a Catholic priest and went on to world fame as a Catholic apologist, theologian, and cardinal. Friday, October 10, 2014 We Remember: ST. FRANCIS BORGIA ( ), one of the greatest saints of the Catholic Counter-Reformation, was born to the noble family of de Borja in the kingdom of Aragon (modern Spain). Reared at the Court of Charles V, he married very young; when his wife died, he distributed his vast estates and titles among his children and joined the Society of Jesus, eventually becoming its General. Under him, the Jesuits spread throughout Europe and the foreign missions. The austere Francis was courteous, refined, kind, humble and generous, yet most determined and enterprising. He died while traveling

4 on a mission for his great friend, Pope Pius V, who died the same year. (B,D) Today in 1710, the birth of ALBAN BUTLER, priest and hagiographer ( ), who did more than any modern writer to stimulate devotion to the saints. (AS) Today in 1982, Pope John Paul II canonized ST. MAXIMILIAN KOLBE, a Polish conventual Franciscan who gave his life in exchange for that of a husband and father in the Nazi camp at Auschwitz, Poland. Saturday, October 11, 2014 We Remember: ST. KENNETH (c c. 599). Founder of two monasteries, St. Kenneth was trained to the monastic life under St. Finian of Clonard and St. Cadoc of Wales. He has always been very popular in Ireland, where the city of Kilkenny is named for him. O'Hare Chapel's gracious next door neighbor, Margaret (nee Brady) Gorny, secretary for USAirways, is a Kilkenny native. ST. MARY DESOLATA TORRES ACOSTA ( ) was a truly great woman born in the poor quarter of Madrid. She tried unsuccessfully to become a Dominican nun; in 1848 she responded to the call of a priest to found an institute for the care of the sick in their own homes. A subsequent priestdirector of the young institute (Handmaids of Mary) removed her and appointed another superior in her place, with the result that the institute nearly perished. But after an examination by the bishop, she was reappointed and lived to found 46 houses. She was canonized in (B) IN 1962, VATICAN II WAS CONVENED, the 21st General Council in Church history. Called by Pope John XXIII, more than 2,860 bishops took part. The Council has had a major effect on all aspects of the Catholic Church. (W) In 1976, the death of JOAO BOSCO BOURNIER, Jesuit Martyr of Brazil ( ).

Man is ever face to face with the inescapable specters of boredom, futility, and madness. A healthy and well-organized social life enables man to cope with these specters by fruitful work, love, and personal growth. The person who loves his ordinary life because his work is meaningful and because his relationship with those around him is joyful, open, and generous will never be bored. An unhealthy social system both exacerbates man's fear of boredom and exploits it. The modern American is kept in terror of boredom and unfulfillment because he is constantly being reminded of their imminence - in order that he may be induced to do something that will exorcise him for the next half hour. Then the terror will rise up again and he will have to buy something else, or turn another switch, or open another bottle, or swallow another pill, or stick himself with a needle in order to keep from collapsing. THOMAS MERTON "The path I walk, Christ walks it. May the land in which I am be without sorrow. May the Trinity protect me wherever I stay, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. May bright angels walk with me - dear presence - in every dealing. May I arrive at every place; may I return home. May the way in which I spend be a way without loss. May every path before me be smooth. May man, woman, and child welcome me. A truly good journey! Well does the fair Lord show us a path." The words of St. Columba (c ), most famous Scottish saint. He founded churches and monasteries in Ireland before founding Iona, from which he preached the gospel throughout Scotland.
