January 14, 2018, 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time 3

A Note From The Pastor…

Last week we celebrated the Epiphany. Usually we celebrate the

Feast of the Baptism of the Lord on the Sunday after the Epipha-

ny. But because of the timing of Christmas this year (falling on

the Monday of the fourth week of Advent), we celebrated the

Baptism of the Lord this past Monday, and then Ordinary Time

began. Ordinary Time will continue until the beginning of Lent.

The key dates for Easter and Lent are easy to remember this

year: Ash Wednesday falls on February 14th, 2018, Valentine’s

Day; and this year Easter falls on April 1st, 2018.

This weekend at all the Masses we will have a second collection

to support the Church in Latin America. The needs and chal-

lenges facing the Church in Latin America and the Caribbean are

great: There are few teaching resources and a poor infrastruc-

ture. Your prayerful and monetary support will help to spread

the faith to people who are very much open to the Catholic Faith.

I am looking for one, two, or three persons to take over the ministry of washing the altar linens.

This would be a behind-the-scenes ministry of reverently washing the linens used on the altar or

during Mass. It is a little bit different than doing regular laundry because these linens are used for

a sacred purpose. Please contact me at the rectory or email me if you would like to participate in

this important ministry. I will be away from the parish on retreat this week, but please call the

rectory and leave me a message or email me to find out more about this important ministry.

I would like to speak very briefly with ushers after each Mass on the weekend of January 27 –

28th. The meeting should only take about five minutes.

Please refer to this week’s bulletin regarding this year’s

upcoming Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA). This year’s

theme is “Come, Follow Me,” and the in-pew Appeal will

happen at all the Masses on February 3rd and 4th. Please

begin the process of prayerfully considering how much

you might contribute to this year’s appeal. As always I

am grateful for your generosity.

God Bless,

Fr. Paul


Religious Educa!on

There will be No

Religious Educa!on Clas-

ses for Mar!n Luther

King, Jr. Day, on Sunday,

January 14th, or Monday,

January 15th, 2018. Classes will

resume on Sunday, January 21st,

and Monday, January 22nd.

Kasana-Luwerro Uganda Seminarian Fund Appeal

We are one week from the end of our first appeal period for the Seminari-

ans in Uganda. The final date for contribu!ons to be submi#ed is Sunday,

January 21, 2018.

Fr Charles is on faculty at the St Mary Ggaba Seminary in Kampala, Ugan-

da and is also the Sports Chaplain and Music Chaplain.

A semester costs $300 for tui!on, housing and food for each seminari-

an. This is a bargain by USA standards, but is a fortune in Uganda. If you

would like to help the seminarians, OLH will be holding appeals 2x/year.

There are two ways to do this:

1. Contribute to the fund for “those in greatest need”

1. Sponsor a seminarian ($600/year 4 year commitment)

If you sponsor a seminarian, you will then correspond with your seminari-

an via email.

Checks are wri#en to Our Lady of Humility (this money will be on your

year-end tax statement from OLH and is tax deduc!ble).

There are colored envelopes at the church doors. Please use these so that

the money will not be misdirected. They can be put in the collec!on bas-

ket or delivered to the Rectory.

For Informa!on contact:

Linda Bugos-Noble [email protected]

Gloria Askew [email protected]

Pictured below: Seminary grapevines--Like all rural Ugandan, the seminar-

ians are farmers for their own use and to sell.

Week At A Glance

Our Lady Of Humility’s Food Pantry

Is in need of: Beef stew, canned chili, corn muffin mix,

and canned spaghe" / ravioli. Non-perishable food

can be dropped off at the Rectory Monday–Thursday,

from 9AM–3:30PM, or brought to the northwest ves"bule

of the Church on Saturdays or Sundays before Mass.

Thank you for the con!nued generosity!

Liturgy Of The Word For

Children Prayer Leaders

Needed

Those of you who a!end the

9AM and 11AM Masses, see the

children being dismissed with an

adult. They are going to the first

classroom adjacent to the Parish

Center. There they hear the

readings in a simpler form. The

Prayer Leader discusses with the

child the meaning of the readings,

and how they can live out its’

message in the coming week.

The Usher signals the Prayer

Leader, that the homily in Church

is finished, which gives just enough

#me to say a simple Creed, their

prayer inten#ons, and get back to

Church during the collec#on.

We could use more Prayer

Leaders. If you think this is

something you would like to do,

let anyone of the Prayer Leaders

know, and Diana Jurista will

contact you to give you more

details.

Quinceanera Requirements

We have many requests for Quinceaneras and want to

ensure everyone is aware of the requirements for sched-

uling this celebra"on.

We require that your family be registered par"cipa"ng

parishioners at Our Lady of Humility Parish. Registra"on

is required one year prior to reques"ng a date for the

Quinceanera celebra"on. Please note, registra"on for

Our Lady of Humility School or Religious Educa"on classes, does not regis-

ter you as a parishioner. The parish has a separate form available online,

at the entries of the church, or in the Parish Office.

Registered parishioners should contact the rectory a minimum of 9 months

in advance to schedule the Quinceanera as prepara"on classes must be

scheduled prior to the celebra"on.

We cannot guarantee specific dates will be available, so it is best to regis-

ter early.

Eucharis"c Adora"on – Drawing Closer To Jesus

The best kind of friend is the one with whom you can

spend "me without having to say anything. You can just

share the moment, and enjoy each other’s company,

knowing your rela"onship is deeper than the spoken word.

That kind of silent communica"on is what takes place

between you and Jesus when you par"cipate in Eucharis"c

Adora"on.

Eucharis"c Adora"on is the spiritual prac"ce of spending "me in the

presence of the exposed Host.

Eucharis"c Adora"on provides us with a chance to be with our Savior

one on one. Through this prac"ce, we are invited to spend "me alone with

God in His real, physical form, and to bring to Jesus all of our cares, con-

cerns, prayers, hopes, and thoughts. We set aside a special "me, a respite

from our hec"c modern lives, to create a personal space in which to meet

our God.

By doing so, we grow more in tune with God. We put ourselves in

posi"on to talk to Him, and also to listen. We reserve a "me and a space

when we ask Jesus to come into our hearts and minds, and when we walk

away, we are transformed.

Even the most holy people we can think of have found blessings, grace,

and strength in Eucharis"c Adora"on.

“Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life,” Mother

Teresa once said. “Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in

love, come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adora!on.”

Do something special in this New Year, please consider coming to

Eucharis"c Adora"on on Thursdays at 2PM. Come, spend some "me with

the Lord, and receive His blessings! He is wai"ng for you!

Soup Kitchen

Do something helpful this New

Year. Thursday, January 25th, is

Our Lady of Humility’s commit-

ment to provide volunteers to

help with the Soup Kitchen at

Holy Family Services (the old St.

Bartholomew Parish) located at:

914 8th Street, Waukegan.

It is always the fourth Thurs-

day of every month. Food prep-

ara"on

begins at 3PM, dinner is served

at 5:30PM, followed by clean-up.

We are usually done by 7PM.

Any "me that you can give is

greatly appreciated. We are in

desperate need of more assis-

tance from our Parishioners on a

regular basis. We usually have

lots of volunteers for the holi-

days, but your help is needed

every month!

If you have any ques"ons,

please call Pat at (847) 662-4095.


Ask a Priest

Q: I am a li!le confused about the "meline of the Epiphany. How old was Jesus when the Magi

visited? Did Mary and Joseph buy a house in Bethlehem? Any clarifica"on would be appreci-

ated.

A: Those of us that have been faithfully a!ending Mass these past few Sundays have heard so

many great Gospel passages, all of which moved the narra"ve at a rapid pace; the Angel Gabriel

announces Jesus’ concep"on to Mary and to St. Joseph; the couple travels to Bethlehem to be

enrolled in the census, and Jesus is born in the stable; Shepherds receive the message of the An-

gel, and visit the Christ child; Joseph and Mary present Jesus in the Temple, and hear from the prophet Simeon; and of

course, last weekend, Magi arrive, bringing gi$s of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

We are all familiar with all these details of the Christmas story. Most movies and pageants are scripted this way. Howev-

er, we need to realize that there are actually two different stories here. They were wri!en by different authors for differ-

ent intended audiences, and the two of them did not collaborate beforehand! Knowing these differences will (hopefully!)

give us a greater apprecia"on for the power of the Divine inspira"on of the texts.

So let us begin with the Gospel of Ma!hew, composed in 85-90 AD. Ma!hew is wri"ng to a community of Jewish con-

verts living in or around Pales"ne. These men and women would iden"fy as Jewish, but were already beginning to have

conflicts with those who followed the ‘old religion.’ As well as a solid understanding of the Old Testament and Hebrew

idioms, the members of this community were also quite wealthy.

In his infancy narra"ve, Ma!hew establishes Jesus as solidly Jewish. His genealogy includes the names of famous people

from the Old Testament, as well as all of the Kings of Judah (Jesus is Jewish royalty!). Mary and Joseph live in Bethlehem.

The Angel appears to Joseph, not Mary, and addresses him as the ‘Son of David.’ When the child Jesus is about 2 years

old, the Magi (more royalty!) visit the child in his parents’ house, and give him fancy gi$s. Joseph is warned by the angel

to take his family and flee to Egypt, and Herod sends his soldiers to kill the children in Bethlehem 2 and under. A$er

Herod’s death, Joseph brings the family back to Israel, but instead of returning to Bethlehem, they move to Nazareth,

where Jesus grows up.

Luke’s Gospel is also wri!en around 85-90 AD. He is most likely wri"ng to a group of Gen"le (but not Greek) Chris"ans,

perhaps in An"och. Luke avoids the religious controversies with the Pharisees so important to Ma!hew’s community of

Jewish converts, and he likewise avoids Hebrew words or idioms. His community was not very wealthy, and this leads to

the portrayal of Jesus as a poor man, encouraging his disciples to not store up for themselves treasures on earth.

In his infancy narra"ve, Luke establishes the poverty of Jesus. While David is men"oned in the genealogy, none of the

other kings are included. Mary and Joseph live in Nazareth, a Podunk town in the middle of nowhere. The Angel appears

to Mary, an unwed virgin, to deliver the message of the Incarna"on. Mary and Joseph are forced to travel to Bethlehem

for the census, and when there, cannot even get a room in the inn; Jesus is born in a stable, and laid in a feeding trough

for barnyard animals. Instead of exo"c Magi bearing gold, Jesus is visited by poor, smelly, shepherds on the night of his

birth. A$er 40 days, his parents present him in the Temple, offering two turtledoves instead of the customary ox, because

they were too poor to afford one. A$er hearing the prophecy of Simeon, they return home to Nazareth, where the child

grows in wisdom and stature.

Now, we might be tempted to ask, ‘Which version is true/false?’ This is not a very helpful approach! What we need to

realize is that neither Ma!hew nor Luke was interested in wri"ng a novel, or a biography. Rather, they wanted to share

the Good News of Jesus with as many people as possible! They knew that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, and that he was

raised in Nazareth, and so they share the story about how this came about, emphasizing certain aspects to inspire their

readers. Even if one (or both) of these infancy narra"ves is not historically accurate, it does not take away from the Truth

that is revealed to us: Jesus, the Son of God, was born of the Virgin Mary. He came to save us from our sins, and give us

the opportunity to inherit eternal life.

Peace

Fr. Mike

Please Make Your Gi! to the 2018 Annual Catholic Appeal

“Come, Follow Me”

Many families in our parish will be receiving the Annual Catholic

Appeal request mailing from Cardinal Cupich. On behalf of those

served by the ministries and services funded by the ACA, we thank

you for your gi!s. Please return your response as soon as possi-

ble.

The ACA offers a wonderful opportunity to answer Jesus’ call to

“Come, Follow Me.”

In addi#on to providing for ministries and services throughout the

Archdiocese, the Appeal also funds services that are of great help

to ministries here in our Parish.

As we contemplate God’s many gi!s to us, we should also reflect

on our gra#tude for these gi!s. Your financial support for the

work of our Parish, our Archdiocese, and the Church throughout

the world is, in fact, one way to express this gra#tude. Please give

generously to the 2018 Annual Catholic Appeal.

When our parish reaches its goal of $33,139 in paid pledges,

100% of the addi#onal funds received will be returned to us for

use in our Parish.
