Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord
March 29, 2015
Dear Parishioners,
What is the point of Lent? Why do we pray, fast and give alms? Why go to mass on Sunday? What is
our destination? What is the point of all the activity of our parish?
John Cassian, a monk writing to monks, has much to say about these questions even though he died in the
year 435. Cassian’s Conference to his monks speaks to all the spiritual disciplines mentioned above and
acknowledges the importance of moderation to avoid self righteousness. In the end, he reminds them of
their destination, a deeper love of Christ and his people.
“In the same way, fasting, vigils, scriptural meditations, nakedness, and total deprivation do not constitute
perfection but are the means to perfection. They are not themselves the end point of a discipline, but an
end is attained through them. To practice them will therefore be useless if someone instead of regarding
these as a means to an end is satisfied to regard them as the highest good. One would possess the instruments of a profession without knowing the end where the hoped for fruit is to be found.”
“To cling always to God and to the things of God - this must be our major effort, this must be the road
that the heart follows unswervingly. Any diversion, however impressive, must be regarded as secondary,
low-grade, and certainly dangerous.”
May God bless you this Holy Week,
Father Mike Meany
Special Palm Sunday Showing:
The Francis Effect Video
All are invited to a special showing of The Francis Effect Video on
Palm Sunday, March 29 at 7:15 pm in our Parish Ministry Center.
From the moment he appeared on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica,
Pope Francis won the hearts of the people. The Francis Effect takes a
critical and in-depth look at how one man has quickly changed the face
of Catholicism at a moment when no one really expected it. Admission
is FREE and light refreshments will be served. For more information
please contact Deacon Andy Beierwaltes (847) 966-6961.

PERPETUAL
EUCHARISTIC
ADORATION
Christ's followers were
skeptical when He preached
the reality of His Body and
Blood as food and drink. St.
John said, "many of His disciples withdrew and no longer
went about with Him."
Seeing this, Jesus asked the Twelve, "Do
you also want to leave me?" Simon Peter did
not understand any more than those who left
Christ, but his loyalty was more firm. "Lord,"
he said, "to whom shall we go? You have
the words of eternal life."
We have the "Word of Eternal Life"
right here with us day and night in our
Adoration Chapel. Do you have something
you want to ask Him? There are several
hours needing adorers. Please pick one for
your personal hour with Him.

THE FEAST OF DIVINE MERCY___________________
The Sacrament of Reconciliation
March 29, 2015
__________________April 12, 2015
The Tribunal of Mercy
Jesus said: Come with faith to the feet of My representative (1448)
I, Myself am waiting there for you. I am only hidden by the priest. I Myself act in your soul
(1602)…Make your confession before Me. The person of the priest is, for Me, only a screen.
Never analyze what sort of a priest it is that I am making use of; open your soul in confession as you would to Me, and I will fill it with My light (1725).
The Eucharist
The Presence of Mercy
In His great love for us, the Lord Jesus gave us a great miracle of mercy: the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. Christ is fully present as He is in Heaven.
St. Faustina comments; “Oh what awesome mysteries take place during the Mass!
…....One day we will know what God is doing for us in each Mass, and what sort of gift He is
preparing in it for us. Only His divine love could permit that such a gift be provided for
us…...this fountain of life gushing forth with such sweetness and power.”(914)
Again, this year, we will celebrate The Feast of Mercy with
2:00 PM English/Polish Confessions, 3:00 PM bilingual Mass,
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament,
Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
Good Friday “Living” Stations of the
Cross at St. Anthony’s
All are welcomed to join Deacon Andy

Illinois. We will leave SJB via car pool at 8:00

walk the streets surrounding the parish to pray and
experience the Living Stations of the Cross. For
more information, please contact Deacon Andy at

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Is today “Palm Sunday” or “Passion Sunday”? Though now known officially as Palm Sunday of the Passion of
the Lord, confusion is understandable, since before the 1969 reform of the calendar two separate Sundays bore these
titles. Passion Sunday was a week before Palm Sunday. To add to the confusion, the Gospel accounts of the Passion
of the Lord were not read on Passion Sunday, but on Palm Sunday! On Passion Sunday, the cross and statues were
veiled in full purple drapes. The organ had fallen silent at the beginning of Lent, and now the sanctuary bells were
replaced by wooden clappers. The introit (opening chant) for the old Mass of Passion Sunday hints at a reason for
reform: “Do me justice, O God, and fight my fight against a faithless people” (Psalm 42). This liturgy was laden
with references to the “infidelity” of the Jews, a theme that gave rise to inflammatory preaching and, in some places,
attacks against the persons and property of the Jewish people. This does not stand as a “treasure” of any sort in our
tradition. Our authentic tradition, rather, is the ability to reflect and repent and to seek reconciliation with the Jews,
our brothers and sisters in the love and service of God.

HOLY THURSDAY PILGRIMAGE
REVIVAL OF A TIMELESS TRADITION
Immediately following the 7:00 PM Mass of the Lord’s Supper, St. John Brebeuf
Parish offers the opportunity to revive the age-old tradition of the “Visitation of
Churches”. We are invited to pray with our Lord late into the night, through the sacrament
of the Mass, followed by an evening visiting five “Altars of Repose” throughout
Chicago. Chartered school buses will pick us up outside of St. John Brebeuf and will
whisk us from church to church, for our evening of prayer. The Churches we tentatively
plan to visit are: St. Hyacinth Basilica, Holy Trinity, St. Stanislaus Kostka, St. John
Cantius, and St. Mary of the Angels. The evening will end with night prayer at about
midnight, when the buses return us to St. John Brebeuf.
Reservations are not only a must, but they are limited too. Please fill out the form
below and return it to the parish office, along with your donation of $10.00, to help defer
the expense of the buses, by Monday, March 30th. For additional information, please contact Barbara Bronder at
847-966-8145.

that you support this important collection again on

Many times truth and justice are
compromised by the desire to avoid
offending anyone! This applies to
those of us who may be afraid to speak the truth
about abortion. Let us pray for God's courage to
always speak the truth in defending the culture of
life.
Let us continue to pray daily: “Jesus, Mary and
Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the
life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually
adopted who is in danger of abortion.”

Drodzy Parafianie,
Jaki jest cel Wielkiego Postu? Dlaczego mamy się modlić, pościć i dawać jałmużnę? Dlaczego
warto chodzić na Msze Święte w niedzielę? Jaki jest nasz cel? Po co angażować się w życie
naszej parafii?
To, o czym pisał niegdyś do swoich współbraci mnich John Cassian ma wiele do powiedzenia na
temat tych pytań, mimo tego, że zmarł w 435 roku. Konferencje Kasjana skierowane do mnichów
można odnieść do wszystkich wyżej wymienionych dyscyplin duchowych, dlatego ze ukazują
potrzebę przemiany po to, aby uniknąć nieskazitelności. Na końcu przypomina im o ich
przeznaczeniu, którym jest postawa głębszej miłości Chrystusa i jego ludzi.
”W ten sam sposób, post, czuwania, rozważania duchowe, nagość, i całkowite ubóstwo nie
stanowią doskonałości, ale są środkiem do doskonałości. To wszystko nie jest punktem
kulminacyjnym dyscypliny, ale jej szczyt można osiągnąć poprzez to wszystko. Praktykowanie
tego będzie, zatem bezużyteczne, jeśli ktoś zamiast traktować to, jako środek do celu jest skłonny
traktować to, jako najwyższe dobro. Można posiadać właściwe instrumenty do pewnej
umiejętności, nie wiedząc do końca, gdzie tak naprawdę tkwi nadzieja na odkrycie owoców tej
umiejętności.”
”Aby być zawsze blisko Boga i spraw Bożych – właśnie to musi być naszym ogromnym
wysiłkiem, jak tez i drogą dla serca, które się nie waha. Wszelkie zmiany kierunku, aczkolwiek
imponujące należy, zatem uznać za wtórne, niższego stopnia, a już na pewno niebezpieczne.”
Niech Was Bóg błogosławi w tym Świętym Tygodniu,
Ks. Mike Meany
