THE BLACK NAZARENE

“To See What Other See…”

First, let me say that I am grateful for the support and participation of many in last Sunday's Solemn Mass and Procession for Corpus Christi. No matter how different we may appear, no matter how distant our origins may seem, no matter how diverse our cultural expressions may be, there is a tremendous reality that gathers us together and makes us ONE. The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist is that reality. When Christ "calls" us, He calls us as we are. He loves us as we are. One of the surest signs that a Christian Community is being formed is that the Mystery of Christ can be celebrated by people of many nations and cultures. What makes such a celebration possible is the love of Christ. It opens our eyes, like those of the blind man, to the goodness, truth and beauty in every culture. The love of Christ can also open our ears so that we may understand, as at Pentecost, the Good News even in unfamiliar languages. The Preface for Pentecost Sunday describes that “miracle” eloquently: ...when the Holy Spirit made known to all peoples the one true God, and created from the many languages of man, one voice to profess one faith. In the Sacred Liturgy we have, in signs and words, a unified vision to recognize the Lord. We actually have “one voice to profess one faith.” Are there challenges in the unity we find in diversity? Yes. As we cross cultural lines, we need to “see as others see” and “hear as others hear.”

What has always drawn me to multicultural Catholicism is what it can teach us how others see, hear, and believe- -how they express their faith. In 1996 and 1999, I visited the Philippines – not as a tourist but as part of an Asian - Pacific pastoral learning experience. It was an enlightening introduction to Filipino spirituality. Thanks to my monthly sharing with St. Isaac Jogues’ Filipino Prayer Group, I am still learning to “see” and “hear.” And I am committed to that learning experience. The focal point of the Filipino shrine for Stational Benediction last Sunday was a devotional figure of the suffering Christ called the "Black Nazarene." It brought me back to Metro-Manila and the Basilica in Quiapo where the original image is venerated. For those who have not seen the original Black Nazarene, let me describe it. The Black Nazarene is a life-sized figure. Carved out of dark wood by an unknown Mexican artist in 1606, it depicts Jesus carrying his cross. He is shown in a position between kneeling and standing. It is a dynamic portrayal of the struggle to rise after falling under the weight of the cross. Crowned with thorns made of precious metal and three clusters of silver rays encrusted with jewels, it is the sacred face of the Nazarene that rivets one’s gaze. There is such realism in the eyes, the mouth and the expression that it is widely believed that “anyone who focuses his eyes on this image of Christ is irresistibly moved to pity.” The figure of the Black Nazarene, robed in gold-embroidered purple, has survived more than four hundred years of earthquakes, fires and wars. It is revered as a miraculous, healing image. Popular piety may seek healing by touching the image itself or by touching handkerchiefs or pieces of cloth to the image and carrying them to the sick or spiritually troubled.

Devotion to the Black Nazarene takes different forms. The Friday Novena draws large crowds to Quiapo. In gratitude, the faithful, who have vowed to do so, walk on their knees from the door of the Basilica to the altar. Others pray the Novena for nine consecutive Fridays or participate in the Feast Day Procession on January 9. The Procession that ends a week long observance on January 9 is a two hundred year tradition. Placed on a gold and red carriage, the Black Nazarene is pulled through the streets of Quiapo by male devotees clad in the same purple as the Nazarene. In 2008, 80,000 joined the procession at Quiapo. As the procession advanced to the Plaza Miranda and Quezon Boulevard, one and a half to three million people were in the press of the crowd. Devotion to the Black Nazarene, while it crosses classes and spans the whole Archipelago of the Philippines, seems to have a special appeal to men. In her book, Miraculous Images of the Lord, Joan Carroll provides her vivid eyewitness account of the Procession of the Black Nazarene. Estimated to number in the thousands, the men who take part are barefoot and wear the traditional attire of the "panata," which consists of rolled-up trousers, a towel around the neck and a white T-shirt printed with the agonized face of the Nazarene. The printing on the shirts reads "Hijos del Nazareno," Sons of the Nazarene... this might be the only Filipino procession in which women, who usually outnumber men at other religious occasions, are relegated to the background. Twice in the long history of the uniquely Filipino devotion to the Black Nazarene popes have given their special sanction and encouragement. In 1650, Pope Innocent X canonically established the “Confraternity of the Most Holy Black Christ Nazarene" with his pontifical blessing. In the nineteenth century, Pope Pius VII extended a second blessing and a plenary indulgence to those who devoutly pray before the image of the Black Nazarene of Quiapo.

With official Church support, the popular devotion to the Black Nazarene continues to grow. The National Hymn in honor of the Black Nazarene was sung at our own Corpus Christi Festival last Sunday. (See the National Hymn below) As I learn more about unfamiliar religious and cultural practices, I sincerely pray that God will give me the grace to "see as others see" and "hear as others hear. " That is, not only human sympathy, it is the path to Catholic unity. - - Fr. Luczak

SPIRITUAL LIFE

CORPUS CHRISTI Many thanks to everyone who helped make Corpus Christi Sunday the beautiful, prayerful, holy experi-ence that it was. We are grateful to all who did ad-vance preparations, set-up and took down outside and inside, decorated altars, assisted at the Mass, provided music and song, brought refreshments, served the food and beverages, cleaned up, partici-pated in the procession in any way. We appreciated the presence of our priests, deacons, visitors and the North American Council of the Knights of Colum-bus. Thank you all for all you did to help us give glory to God and witness to the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process of prayer, reflection, study and discussion for indi-viduals who have never been baptized; who are baptized Christians but who seek to learn more about the Catholic Church; or who are baptized Catholics but have not received First Communion and Confirmation. For more information about the RCIA process, please call Dee Stanton or Joyce Mills at 847/966-1180.

READINGS FOR THE THIRTEENTH SUNDAY

IN ORDINARY TIME

Wisdom 1:13-15, 2:23-24

Psalm 30:2, 4-6, 11-13

II Corinthians 8:7, 9, 13-15

Mark 5:21-43

ABOUT NEXT WEEK’S READINGS WISDOM: “The book of Wisdom was addressed to a group of Jews living in pagan territories. It begins with a sharp contrast between good and evil. In the pagan world of that time, most people believed that there were good gods and bad gods. The author emphasizes the Jewish belief that there is just one God who is the source only of goodness and life.” II CORINTHIANS: “Today’s excerpt from Second Corinthians paints a picture of Paul the pastor at work. The Jewish people in Jerusalem who had be-come Christian were a small minority and were be-ing persecuted. This brought on financial hardships. Paul wants his Gentile converts in Greece to help them out and show that the bonds of Christianity cut across ethnic lines.

HUMAN CONCERNS

An Once of Prevention Part 2 – “Summer, Sunshine & Pests, Oh My!”

H1N1, a.k.a. Swine Flu, is not the sole health hazard we currently face. There are several “exposures” we confront on an annual basis. Let’s refresh our memories about risks & protective measures. With temps climbing & the sun once again gracing the skies, most of us are heading “out” to take ad-vantage of the ideal weather & enjoy summer activi-ties – baseball, swimming, boating, gardening & backyard BBQs. Despite the Vitamin D benefits the sun provides, the American Cancer Society is issu-ing cautions. Why? Because of the intensity of the rays & the risks for skin cancer. Their recommenda-tion – “basic sun safety: Slip!Slop!Slap! Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher, and slap on a hat.” In addition, due to the sun’s potential to cause cataracts, the ACS also suggests “shading your eyes with sunglasses.” (ACS “One-Liners,” Father’s Day 2009) Their cautions are for all of us – not just the wee ones whom we may tend to grease up more readily than our adult selves or our older kids. Remember those shirts, sunscreen, hats & shades are our “once of prevention!” The “dark side” of warming temps, sun-drenched skies & abundance of liquid sunshine arcause un-sightly red welts & unrelenting itching, they also can bring diseases like West Nile virus. Although cases of human illness generally aren’t seen until late sum-mer/ early fall, it’s not too early to take precautions & make a habit of self-protective actions. Besides, “infected” mosquitoes have been identified in the Chicago area. Precautions you can take include ridding your prop-erty of standing water (the female only needs a thim-ble full to lay her eggs!), repairing tears in screens & making sure windows & screens fit tightly in their frames. Personal protective practices involve wear-ing light-colored clothing (they’re attracted to dark colors), minimizing exposure (peak times are dusk to dawn & havens are wooded, bushy areas), & using repellants. According to an article in USA Weekend (June 12-14, 2009), “the higher percentage of

Page Seven Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time June 21, 2009

DEET… the more hours of protection against mos-quitoes, biting flies, chiggers, fleas and ticks.” Under ideal conditions (not sweating or swimming), “a 35% concentration protects for four hours…” (“Avoiding Bug Bites,” Mary Forsell, USA Weekend June 12-14, 2009, pg. 9) Picaridin is another repellant ingre-dient that can offer bite protection as is lemon euca-lyptus. Other products, such as bracelets & belt packs, are on the market, but I have no information regarding their safety or efficacy. Before using repel-lants on little ones or their clothing, check with your doctor or pediatrician. Have a blessed, healthy & happy summer!

PARISH LIFE

MASS INTENTIONS FOR 2010 The 2010 Mass Book is now open. Anyone wishing to reserve Masses for loved ones or special inten-tions may do so. Please note: we will take only one intention for each liturgy. We suggest a $10.00 stipend for each Mass. According to the Code of Canon Law 948: Separate Masses must be applied for the intentions of those for whom an individual offering, even if small, has been made and accepted. What is normative in the practice of the Church is that there be separate individual Masses of-fered for individual intentions. Therefore, the practice of combining individual intentions on a regular basis has ceased at St. Isaac Jogues.

ALTAR FLOWERS CAN BE A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE From the weekend of June 7th through Thanks-giving Day, November 26th, 2009, parishioners are invited to decorate the altar with flowers in honor or memory of a loved one. There will be two arrangements each week. Your name and intention will be listed in the Bulletin. The cost of a flower arrangement will be $50.00. Dates fill up quickly, so please book well in ad-vance. Please call the Rectory at 847-967-1060 to arrange the date to make your remembrance special! The flowers on the altar this weekend are from:

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years. - Mark Twain

My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In harbor towns throughout the world, seafarers will hear today's Gospel with profound awareness of the power of a storm at sea. In Gloucester, Massachusetts, a community of fishermen has gone down to the sea in ships for centuries, some never to return, as recounted in the book and film The Perfect Storm. In the late nineteenth century, a stranded fisherman in the North Atlantic broke an oar. Adrift, he begged Mary for help, and when he returned his story inspired the building of Our Lady of Good Voyage Church. Over the years, grateful sailors have surrounded the pews with models of their ships. Between the twin towers, a statue of Our Lady holds a vessel in her upraised hand as a symbol of a safe voyage. It is visible to homecoming sailors from the harbor's entrance. For centuries, sailors have looked to Mary as Stella Maris, "Star of the Sea." Indeed,

that is possibly the most ancient title of Mary. In Aramaic, the language of Jesus, the words "Our Lady" sound similar to the word meaning "pilot" or "leader," someone who could lead one to safety. Certainly, a treasure of our tradition is how Mary points the way to her Son, the one who calmed the seas and accompanies us to safe harbor. -Rev. James Field, Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

ADDING NAMES TO THE PARISH SICK LIST It has always been the policy of St. Isaac Jogues to offer our parish community an opportunity to pray for those parish-ioners who are ill and in need of our prayers. We have tried to keep close track of these names for our Bulletin as they are made available to us. However, now we face an important privacy issue, very much like the issues faced by hospitals, health institutions, and certainly by other parishes. We cannot (by law) publicly let our parish community know the health status of any of our members without their permission. We appreciate the fact that often friends, neighbors, and acquaintances wish to do something special for a person who is ill, and ask to place their name on the list to be prayed for. While their intentions are surely good, we simply can no longer accept names in this manner. We will institute a new process regarding calling in names for the Bulletin list. Names for the sick list placed in the Bulletin have to be called in by the person who is ill, or by a member of their family. At the time they call in the name, they will be asked whether they are the sick person him/ herself, or a member of their family, and if they give permission for the name to be placed on the list. They will be asked for the cor-rect spelling of the sick person's name. If a family member, they will be required to give their name for our records. Thank you for your patience regarding this new process. We wish to do all we can to offer our parish community the opportunity to offer prayers for those who are ill — but we must also be cognizant of the fact that all members of our con-gregation are entitled to their privacy in this regard.
