Cyril & Methodius Parish “United in Faith” From the Pastor’s Desk We, Americans, are a competitive people. We have this drive to always want to be better than someone else. As a result, we spend a lot of energy comparing ourselves or our situations with those we work or live near. Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family. In our natural competitive attitude, we are tempted to look at the Holy Family as the ideal that we can not realize in our families. But Jesus, Mary and Joseph had their share of struggles. The trust which is fundamental to a marriage was challenged by the pregnancy. Joseph must have felt terrible when he had to bring his wife to a stable to have the child. Living in a foreign land, Egypt, away from family and traditions, was far from ideal. Still, the Holy Family made it through the difficulties of their family life for one reason only: they had great faith. Joseph had faith in the angel of his dreams and treated the pregnant Mary in an honorable way. He had faith that God would help him protect the child, and he moved the family to Egypt. Mary had faith, both in the angel and in God's working through Joseph. Jesus, having emptied himself of his divinity, had faith in his parents to care for him. The Holy Family conquered their struggles through their faith-life. This must be the primary concern of our families. For example, so many parents wish they had the financial resources of their neighbors to be able to provide so much more for their children. What children need is a Christian home, not the things that the neighbor’s kids have. The readings for this Sunday present some aspects of a Christian home. The first reading from Sirach says that children need to respect their parents. Little children learn respect for their parents from the respect they see their parents giving each other and the respect their parents have for their grandparents. I have always believed that the way you treat your parents will be the way your children will treat you. If your relations with your parents are motivated by respect and love, and are evident in your kindness to them, your children will have learned this aspect of Christianity and will treat you the same way when you get older. The second reading deals with the interrelationships of the family. Paul tells the Colossians and us to deal with each other out of kindness, to be patient with each other, to forgive each December 28, 2014 other continually. If we strive to live this way, than as a family we can pray together, not just in Church, but in every aspect of our lives. "Whatever you do, whether in speech or in action, do it in the name of the Lord." The heart of this reading is that husbands and wives must respect each other. This same line of thought continues with children being told to respect their parents, and parents being told not to nag, to continually find fault, with their children. Today’s Gospel is acted out almost every Sunday here at SS. Cyril & Methodius. Mary and Joseph went to the temple with Jesus. This happens here also when you bring your children to church. One young couple told me something that I know all of you realized when you brought your first child home from the hospital. They said, “You know, we can’t come and go and do the things we did before we had the baby, but we have so much more now. Life was great before, but much better now.” I love seeing how much you love your children. I love the fact that you all are determined to provide the best for your children. To be the best parents you can be, remain grounded in the Lord. Make prayer a part of your home life. Pray with your children at bedtime and pray for them after they fall asleep. Teach your children respect. Let them witness your respect for them, for each other, and for others and demand that they respect others, including you. Do your best, and trust God to do the rest. May all our families be Holy Families. And now a few things I want you to know: Thank you for your great participation in our Christmas celebration.

A special Mass will be held on Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 7:00 PM at St. Rita High School. Because seating is very limited, leaders of parishes, high schools, religious orders, and other Vicariate Catholic institutions are being issued a specified number of tickets to distribute.

I did want to acknowledge the fantastic job our school did by helping the parish with the “Tree of Love”. The students and staff worked together to help provide gifts for many people. Once again, as a family of faith, our school demonstrated the Gospel message of helping others! Prior to our break, the students in Kindergarten and PreK presented their beautiful Christmas pageant. Thank you to everyone who was involved and to all of the parents and grandparents who attended the performance.

Cyril & Methodius Parish “United in Faith” Praca na PEŁNY ETAT ze świadczeniami na stanowisku woźnego przy kościele i szkole św. Cyryla i Metodego. Dlaczego warto zarejestrować się do parafii? Przez Sakrament Chrztu Świętego, Bóg wzywa każdego z nas po imieniu do jedności w wierze. Rejestracja jest znakiem przynależności do Kościoła i zaangażowania w życie parafii. Aby umożliwić wzajemny kontakt i służyć rodzinom które uczęszczają do naszej parafii, potrzebujemy podstawowych informacji takich jak: adres, numer telefonu. W różnych okresach naszego życia potrzebne są dokumenty takie jak dokument Chrztu, Pierwszej Komunii, Bierzmowania i Ślubu. Każdy Katolik powinien posiadać wpis o sakramentach świętych do ksiąg wieczystych. Rodzina, która chce zapisać dzieci do szkoły parafialnej czy na lekcje religii, powinna być zarejestrowana i aktywnie wspomagać parafię, zwłaszcza kiedy dzieci w najbliższej przyszłości będą przystępować do sakramentów świętych. Zarejestrowana rodzina otrzymuje ważne informacje dotyczące parafii bezpośrednio drogą pocztową. Zdarza się, że jesteśmy proszeni przez rodzinę bądź też przyjaciół na rodziców chrzestnych, wówczas musimy dostarczyć dokument, potwierdzający to, że jesteśmy obecnie zarejestrowani w parafii, jesteśmy praktykującymi katolikami i uczestniczymy w życiu parafii. Zaznaczamy, że dane osobowe parafian służą tylko i wyłącznie potrzebom Kościoła i nigdy nie są przekazywane żadnym innym firmom czy organizacjom. Obowiązki i oczekiwania: Zdolność zarządzania Codzienne naprawy i praca fizyczna Zdolności „złotej rączki” Znajomość języka angielskigo Aplikacja do pracy na stronie www.stcyril.org lub pod tel. kancelarii parafialnej.

Cyril & Methodius Parish “United in Faith” Drodzy Parafianie, My Polacy jesteśmy konkurencyjni. Mamy w sobie coś takiego, że chcemy być lepsi od innych. W rezultacie poświecamy sporo swojej energii na porównywanie siebie, lub naszej sytuacji do osób z którymi pracujemy lub obok których mieszkamy. Dzisiaj obchodzimy Święto Świętej Rodziny. W naszym naturalnym konkurencyjnym zachowaniu, jesteśmy wręcz kuszeni, aby popatrzeć na Świętą Rodzinę jako na ideał, którego może nie widzimy w naszej rodzinie. Jezus, Maryja i Józef też mieli swoje zmagania. Zaufanie, które jest fundamentem każdego małżeństwa, zostało zakwestionowane przez ciążę. Józef napewno czuł się strasznie, kiedy musiał zabrać swoją żonę do stajni, aby porodziła dziecko. Życie w obcym kraju, Egipcie, z dala od rodziny i tradycji było dalekie od ideału. Jednak Święta Rodzina przetrzymała wszystkie te trudności tylko dlatego, że mieli wielką wiarę. Józef uwierzył aniołowi, który ukazał się mu we śnie. Maryję w ciąży traktował z szacunkiem. Wierzył, że Bóg pomoże mu chronić dziecko i dlatego też przeniósł się z rodziną do Egiptu. Maryja miała wiarę w anioła i w Boga, który działał przez Józefa. Jezus ogołocił samego siebie ze swojej boskości i miał wiarę w opiekujących się nim rodziców. Święta Rodzina przezwyciężyła wszystkie trudy dzięki swojemu życiu w wierze. Głównym problem współczesnych rodzin staje się brak życia w wiarze. Na przykład, wiele rodziców marzy, aby mieć środki finansowe ich sąsiadów, aby dać swoim dzieciom jak najwięcej. Dzieci potrzebują chrześcijańskiego domu, a nie rzeczy, które mają dzieci sąsiadów. Czytania dzisiejszej niedzieli pokazują nam niektóre aspekty chrześcijańskiego domu. Pierwsze czytanie z Księgi Syracydesa mówi, że dzieci muszą szanować swoich rodziców. Małe dzieci uczą się szacunku do swoich rodziców widząc, jak rodzice szanują się nawzajem i jak traktują ich dziadków. Zawsze wierzyłem, że jak my traktujemy rodziców, tak samo dzieci będą nas traktowały. Jeśli twoje stosunki z rodzicami są na bazie szacunku i miłości, i widoczna jest życzliwość do nich, to twoje dzieci widząc to nauczą się tego aspektu chrześcijaństwa i w ten sam sposób będą traktowały ciebie kiedy się już zestarzejesz. Dzisiejsze drugie czytanie mówi nam o wzajemnych relacjach w rodzinie. Św. Paweł mówi do Kolosan i do nas, abyśmy traktowali się z życzliwością, byli cierpliwi i nieustannie wybaczali sobie nawzajem. Jeśli będziemy starali się żyć w ten December 28, 2014 sposób, wtedy jako rodzina możemy modlić się razem nie tylko w kościele, ale w każdym aspekcie naszego życia. "I wszystko, cokolwiek działacie słowem lub czynem, wszystko czyńcie w imię Pana Jezusa." Sercem tego czytania jest, aby mężowie i żony wzajemnie się szanowali. Idąc dalej tym samym tokiem myślenia, dzieci mają szanować swoich rodziców, a rodzice mają nie zrzędzić i nie szukać ciągle winy w swoich dzieciach. Dzisiejsza Ewangelia jest odgrywana prawie w każdą niedziele w naszym kościele. Maryja i Józef udali się z Jezusem do świątyni. To dzieje się również kiedy przyprowadzacie swoje dzieci do kościoła. Jedna młoda para powiedziała mi coś, co wiem że wszyscy zdaliście sobie sprawę po przywiezieniu pierwszego dziecka do domu. Powiedzieli, "Wiesz, nie możemy robić wielu rzeczy tak jak dawniej, zanim mieliśmy dziecko. Teraz mamy więcej. Życie wcześniej było wspaniałe, ale teraz jest o wiele wspanialsze." Cieszę się, widząc jak bardzo kochacie swoje dzieci. Cieszę się z faktu, że chcecie dla swoich dzieci jak najlepiej. Abyście byli najlepszymi rodzicami jakimi tylko możecie być, pozostańcie zakorzenieni w Panu. Niech modlitwa stanie się częścią waszego domowego życia. Módlcie się ze swoimi dziećmi przed snem i za nich jak już zasną. Uczcie dzieci szacunku. Niech będą świadkami waszego szacunku do nich, do siebie nawzajem i dla innych. Wymagajcie, aby szanowali innych, włączając ciebie. Starajcie się wychować dzieci jak najlepiej, a resztę zaufajcie Bogu. Niech wszystkie nasze rodziny będą Świętymi Rodzinami. Kilka spraw z życia parafii: Dziękuję za Wasz udział w obchodach Świąt Bożego Narodzenia w naszej parafii. Dziękuję wszystkim, którzy przyczynili się i pomogli nam, abyśmy mogli świętować w tak wyjątkowy sposób.

Zapraszamy na Koncert Świąteczny w tą niedzielę, 28 grudnia o godz. 6 wieczorem. Przyjdźcie z rodziną i przyjaciółmi. Dziękujemy za ciągłe wsparcie i Waszą hojność w Boże Narodzenie.

Waldemar Stawiarski Wierni z Wikariatu V zaproszeni są do powitania Arcybiskupa Błażeja Cupich jako nowego pasterza Archidiecezji Chicago podczas specjalnej Mszy Świętej, która zostanie odprawiona w czwartek 8 stycznia 2015 roku o godz. 19:00 w Liceum im. św.
