Dear Parishioners,
This past November I spent some time in prayer on retreat. The time away helped me to once again enter into God's
presence – to abide in His love. I encourage you to find time to stop and reflect on God's movement in your life. See
the notice below inviting you to take some time away for yourself. Take some time away with God!
God's Paintbrush by Vince Hovley, S.J.,
“Beauty seen is never lost, God's colors all are fast.” – John Greenleaf Whittier
“She really put her heart into it,” “the heart of the matter,” “they were heartbroken,” … we talk this way and when we
do we are usually talking about our inner lives, our spiritual lives, about the depth of ourselves, about what means
most to us. Concerning this inner life, Israel made a wonderful contribution - the Sabbath. Israel resolved to never
live seven days without taking one full day to center their hearts on what mattered most, to rest and re-create themselves. We Christians transferred the Sabbath to Sunday because of Jesus' resurrection...and we developed a tradition
of making retreats, of taking a longer period to focus on our spiritual lives.
“For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus so we can do the good things He planned for
us long ago.” - Ephesians 2:10
For that reason our retreats and our retreat houses have great value...there is a sense in which we can make the retreat
house a place for our own sacred hearts, a place to dwell. “Home is where the heart is,” or as Jesus would say,
“Where your treasure is, there is your heart.” A free and extended translation of an old Roman thought runs: “The
color of your love dyes your soul and your soul dyes your world.” In other words, where we place our hearts, where
we truly dwell, colors the way we see the world. That is why we make retreats: to vivify our vision of what truly matters and to dwell there and never leave. In light of all this, a retreat house, especially its chapel, can become a symbol
of our hearts, a sacrament of where we dwell.
Retreat Days - Saturday and Sunday at the Cardinal Stritch Retreat House, Mundelein, Il Men - February 7- 8, Women - March 7 - 8 and if need be March 28 - 29.
An information session will take place on January 21 at 7:30 pm in the school library to review the format and answer
your questions. Some preliminary reading material will be given out. Cost: Free will offering.
Peace,
Father Mike Meany
Altar Bread and Wine will be

BEREAVEMENT
MINISTRY
As we begin a Parish
Bereavement Ministry, we ask that
you pray about God’s call to YOU
into this ministry. Think of how
rewarding it will be to help those in their time of special
need. Training will be provided, and as in many ministries,
the schedule is up to you. Pray for the Bereavement
Ministry and speak to any parish staff member for more
information.

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.

“We fed the public a line of deceit,
dishonesty, a fabrication of statistics
and figures. We sensationalized the
effects of illegal abortions, and fabricated polls which indicated that
85 percent of the public favored
unrestricted abortion, when we
knew it was only 5 percent. We unashamedly lied.” Dr. Bernard
Nathanson, Co-founder of NARAL.
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.”

January 18-Second Sunday
in Ordinary Time:
In the Gospel today, Jesus asks
“What are you looking for?”
Often we are looking for happiness in very selfish ways, but
we find that when we look for
ways to make others happy, it
is then that we truly become
happy.
As you place your gift in the
Society of St. Vincent de Paul
poor box, know that you are a
sign of God’s love to those
who are suffering and you give
them reason to believe and to
trust.

We are again asking our parishioners to participate in this special fund-raiser to help women in crisis pregnancy situations by supporting the pro-life work of The Women's Centers of Greater Chicagoland starting
on January 10 and 11, weekend. They provide kind and compassionate counseling to women in crisis pregnancies, along with ongoing material and financial assistance. They are Catholic-run, so the Mass and other
prayers are said for women and babies every day in their chapel. This is a wonderful opportunity for parishioners of all ages, including children, to be able to work together to support "life".
Baby bottles will be found in main entrances of church for you to take home and fill with spare change.
Please return the bottles before any of the masses on the weekend of February 14-15. Please take one bottle per family. Extras will be available in the back of the church the next couple of weekends if you fill up
your first one. Thank you for participating in this worthy cause.

Drodzy Parafianie,
Podczas tego listopada, spędziłem trochę czasu na modlitwie w trakcie moich rekolekcji. Czas w
samotności pozwolił mi na nowo wejść w obecność Bożą – aby nasycić się Jego miłością. Zachęcam
Was do znalezienia czasu na modlitwę i rozmyślania nad Bożą obecnością w Waszym życiu. Spójrzcie
na tekst poniżej, zapraszający do spędzenia czasu w samotności. Spędźcie trochę czasu sam na sam z
Bogiem!
Boży Pędzel napisany przez Vince Hovley, S.J.
“Piękno ujrzane nigdy nie ginie, Boże kolory są szybkie” John Greenleaf Whitter.
“Ona włożyła w to całe swoje serce”, “ważne jest to co mamy w sercu”, “zostali ze złamanymi
sercami” ... mówimy w ten sposób zazwyczaj, podczas określania swojego życia wewnętrznego,
duchowego, kiedy mówimy o swojej głębokości, na temat tego co jest dla nas najważniejsze. Mając na
uwadze to życie wewnętrzne, Izrael miał wspaniały udział w tworzeniu Szabatu. Izrael zdecydował,
aby nigdy nie spędzić siedmiu dni, bez spędzenia jednego dnia na zastanowieniu się nad tym, co jest
najważniejsze, aby odpocząć i zregenerować się. My Chrześcijanie przenieśliśmy Szabat na niedziele
z powodu zmartwychwstania Jezusa...i rozwineliśmy tradycje rekolekcji, spędzania dluższego czasu,
aby skoncentrować się na naszym zyciu duchowym.
“Jesteśmy bowiem jego dziełem, stworzeni w Chrystusie Jezusie dla dobrych uczynków, które Bóg z
góry przygotował abyśmy pełnili” – List do Efezjan 2:10
Z tego powodu, nasze rekolekcje i nasze domy rekolekcyjne mają wielką wartość...dają nam poczucie,
że możemy uczynić dom rekolekcyjny, miejscem naszych swiętych serc, miejscem, w którym możemy
przebywać. "Twój dom jest tam, gdzie twoje serce", albo jak powiedziałby Jezus, "Tam skarb twój,
gdzie serce twoje". Wolny i dłuższy przekład starej myśli rzymskiej: "Kolor twojej miłości, zabarwia
twoją duszę a kolor twojej duszy, zabarwia twój świat." Innymi słowy: gdzie skierujemy nasze serca,
tam gdzie tak naprawdę przebywamy, zabarwiamy świat, w którym żyjemy, zabarwiamy wszystko. To
jest powód, dla którego jeździmy na rekolekcje: aby ożywić naszą wizję co tak naprawdę jest ważne
oraz aby tam trwać i nigdy tego nie stracić. W świetle tego wszystkiego, dom rekolekcyjny, a
zwłaszcza kaplica, może stać się symbolem naszego serca, sakramentem, gdzie będziemy przebywać.
Rekolekcje odbędą się w sobotę i niedzielę w Domu Rekolekcyjnym Cardinal Stritch, Mundelein, Il –
dla mężczyzn – 7-8 luty, dla kobiet – 7-8 marzec i jeżeli będzie taka potrzeba to również 28-29
marzec.
Spotkanie informacyjne odbędzie się 21-go stycznia o godzinie 7:30 wieczorem w szkolnej bibliotece,
aby dowiedzieć się o formie rekolekcji i odpowiedzieć na Wasze pytania. Rozdane zostaną wstępne
materiały do czytania. Koszt: dobrowolna ofiara. Nikt nie będzie odrzucony ze względu na brak
funduszy.
Szczęść Boże,
Ks. Mike Meany

Projekt Dziecięcej Butelki
10 lat w Parafii Św. Jana Brebeuf
Po raz kolejny, zachęcamy naszych parafian do uczestnictwa w tej specjalnej
kweście, aby pomóc kobietom w kryzysowych sytuacjach związanych z ciążą,
poprzez wsparcie pracy Centrum w Obronie Życia w całym Chicago, rozpoczynającym się w weekend
10 – 11 stycznia. Centrum dostarcza dobrej i miłosiernej porady dla kobiet w kryzysie związanym z
ciążą, wraz z materiałami i pomocą finansową. Jest to centrum katolickie, więc Msza Św. i inne
modlitwy są odmawiane za kobiety i dzieci każdego dnia w kaplicy. Jest to wspaniała okazja dla
parafian różnych grup wiekowych, wliczając dzieci, aby pracować wspólnie w obronie ”życia”.
Dziecięce butelki będą dostępne w nawie głównej kościoła, aby zabrać je do domu i wypełnić
drobnymi pieniędzmi. Proszę przynieść butelki przed jakąkolwiek Mszą Św. Podczas weekendu, 1415 lutego. Proszę wziąć jedną butelkę na rodzinę. Dodatkowe butelki będą dostępne przez następne
weekendy z tyłu kościoła, jeśli zostaną zużyte te pierwsze. Dziękujemy za uczestnictwo w tym
dobroczynnym dziele.

DUSZPASTERSTWO OSÓB W ŻAŁOBIE
Co roku mamy pomiędzy 150 a 200 pogrzebów celebrowanych w parafii Św. Jana Brebeuf. Dzisiaj,
chcielibyśmy rozpocząć Duszpasterstwo Osób w Żałobie, które będzie służyło naszej parafii. Prosimy, abyście
rozważyli w jaki sposób możecie służyć w tym duszpasterstwie dla siebie nawzajem i dla rodzin, które są w żałobie.
Wyobraź sobie, że asystujesz rodzinie, prowadząc modlitwy, pomagając im podjąć decyzje związane z Mszą Św.
pogrzebową, ofiarując pomoc rodzinie po pogrzebie. Otrzymacie szkolenie i pomoc związaną z żałobą. Naszym
celem jest, aby stworzyć zespół ludzi, którzy będą się wspierać i wymiennie służyć, podczas pogrzebów w parafii.
To duszpasterstwo pozwoli Wam być wrażliwymi dla rodzin, służyć im w potrzebie i umocnić ich nadzieję.
Zadzwońcie do biura parafialnego, aby zostawić swoje imię i numer telefonu. Modlimy się, aby wolontariusze
podjęli nowe wyzwanie w tym nowym duszpasterstwie w parafii Św. Jana Brebeuf.
