3 FROM THE DESK OF FR. MIKE Merry Christmas!!! Tomorrow, is the final day of the Christmas Season, the feast of the Baptism of the Lord. May we continue to share the truth of Emmanuel God with us with joy and hope in 2018! The following truths were shared with me amongst the many Christmas cards I received this year from parishioners, family and friends. Savor the beauty and joy of the season, Celebrate the wonder, remember the reason. This Christmas and in the coming year may you and your loved ones know peace and live it, understand love and give it, have happiness and share it. Christ dwelt for nine month in the tabernacle of Mary s womb. He dwells until the end of ages in the tabernacle of the Church s faith. Pope Francis (Evangelii Gaudium [212] ) Merry Everything! Merrier than ever (with grandchildren in their laps ) With every carol, every prayer, and every celebration may you feel God s love in a special way this Christmas A time of sharing, a time of giving and a time of believing Merry Christmas! Merriest Christmas!!! May the gift of Christ s love be your lasting source of joy. A happy and holy Christmas! The Wise still seek Him! The Church of St. Mary is blessed with very dedicated staff members that serve the parishioners in many ways. As we enter into 2018 I want to share some recently changed roles and titles of dedicated staff that will be serving you and supporting my ministry as pastor of this wonderful parish. If you looked closely over the last several months you would have discovered the fingerprints of Ellyn von Huben throughout the parish bulletin. Ellyn, creatively and generously, has been editing the bulletin the last five months. In addition to this recent responsibility as Bulletin Editor, Ellyn is serving the Pastoral Staff as our Administrative Assistant, doing untold behind the scenes roles that supports and serves the ministry at the Church of St. Mary. Beth Rinalo has taken on new responsibilities as well. Beth has been serving as the parish receptionist on Wednesday afternoons Friday s. She is also the Virtus Site Administrator working closely with the Archdiocese of Chicago Office of Protecting Children and Youth and all staff and volunteers of the parish. Beth is keeping track of all of the necessary information as we serve our youth with dedication and compassion. Leslie Ardell has also accepted a new role at the parish. In addition to serving as the parish receptionist Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning, Leslie is supporting me and serving the parish as my Administrative Assistant. Her energy, compassion, experience working in the New York Archdiocese and parish and school offices in New York, California and work ethic will continue to be a value as she helps me with the many responsibilities that come up day to day in leading our parish. I am grateful for the dedication and support that Ellyn, Beth and Leslie provide our parish. Please reach out to them if they can be of support to you and your families at the Church of St. Mary. God bless you and your loves ones with peace this Christmas season!

5 Monday, January 8, 2018 Is 42:1-4, 6-7; Ps 29; Mk 1:7-11 Baptism of the Lord Here is my servant with whom I am pleased, upon whom I have put my spirit. Through our baptism, we were chosen, consecrated and anointed priest, prophet and king; titles of both honor and responsibility. As priest, we are the physical body through which the world encounters the risen Christ. As prophet, we strive to make our entire lives a clear message of God s love. As king, we are to become servants to our fellow humans. We are called to live out this three-fold mission with such gentle compassion that we neither break bruised reeds or quench smoldering wicks. Even when we fall short of this difficult mandate, we are assured that we always remain beloved by God who is pleased by our very existence. Forgive me God, when I presume to know your will better than others. Tuesday, January 9, Sm 1:9-20; 1 Sm 2; Mk 1:21-28 Do not think your handmaid a ne er-do -well think kindly of your maidservant. Traveling has given me many opportunities to share in the Sunday liturgies of different parishes across the country. Although I ve had some wonderful experiences, I m ashamed to say that instead of entering fully into these times of prayer, I have sometimes stepped back and watched with a critical eye how a community celebrates. I nitpick about details, perhaps in part to validate my own community s manner of celebrating. Like Eli observing Hannah s heartfelt prayer, I cannot know the hearts of those who pray. Our faith communities are a microcosm of the wider world. Perhaps if I practiced seeing my fellow Catholics through more merciful eyes, I might be able to see the varieties of faith beyond the church doors with a greater open-mindedness. Speak Lord, and your servant will try to listen with an open heart. Readings for the First Week in Ordinary Time Wednesday, January 10, Sm 3:1-10, 19-20; Ps 40; Mk 1:29-39 Rising very early before dawn, [Jesus] went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. When by word of mouth, one physical healing led to an endless waiting room of illnesses, Jesus stepped away to pray. He knew that if he were to stay true to his greater purpose of proclaiming God s salvation, he needed to move on. Doing the work of the kingdom can often snowball as one project quickly becomes many. Even though they may all be worthy causes, their commitments can become overwhelming. At some point, we need to follow Jesus example and take time to be quiet and pray for the discernment of where our particular talents might be most effective. Inevitably, there will be difficult decisions in order to let go of some good works and perhaps to mourn a loss of control. Touch and soften our hard hearts, Jesus. Make us clean. Thursday, January 11, Sm 4:1-11; Ps 44; Mk 1:40-45 Why has the Lord permitted us to be defeated today? There is an arrogance to the Israelites confidence that God s will must surely reflect their own, as they carry the ark of the Lord onto the battlefield against the Philistines. When they are humbled by a devastating defeat, they lament in confusion. God s name has been used by humanity to initiate or justify war and a multitude of abuses throughout history. We are still trying to put words in God s mouth when terms like Christian values are used to promote agendas of exclusion and prejudice of all kinds. When Jesus touches and heals the leper, we are reminded that no one should be deemed untouchable, nor are we capable of judging who is worthy of receiving God s love and mercy. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world. Grant us the courage to forgive others in turn. Friday, January 12, Sm 8:4-7, 10-22a; Ps 89; Mk 2:1-12 I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home. Knowing that the Pharisees do not believe Jesus has the authority to forgive sins, Jesus demonstrates a more visible sign of his authority by physically healing the paralytic man. I sometimes find it easier to believe and to follow a doctor s prescription for my physical ailments, than I do to trust in the healing forgiveness offered to me by God. Long after an aspirin has eased our physical pain, the hurts of insults, neglect and abuse linger to plague our physical and mental well-being. To hear or to offer the words: Child, your sins are forgiven may be the most healing prescription we have ever been given or will ever give. Thank you, Jesus, for choosing to eat with tax collectors and sinners. Saturday, January 13, Sm 9:1-4, 17-19, 10:1; Ps 21; Mk 2:13-17 I did not come to call the righteous but sinners. Our world is filled with a feardriven sense of us vs. them; a sense that different is synonymous with dangerous. This agenda of fear teaches that to show any vulnerability is to invite attack and abuse. In contrast, Jesus and St. Paul teach us that it is our weaknesses that makes us strong. Recognizing our own failings allows us to empathize and connect with other flawed humans and to acknowledge God (not us) as the source of life and sustenance. Being open to diversity and accepting that each of us has failings, allows one person s weakness to be strengthened by the gifts of another. When we live in the understanding that we need God and each other, we will always be stronger together. We offer praise as our sacrifice to glorify you, O Lord our God!
