    BREAD ALONE

    As we head into Lent, this first Sunday the Church has us face the devil, because it’s one of the first

    things Jesus faced as he began his journey to the cross.

    The Evil One, as we hear in the first chapters of Genesis, is cunning. That plays itself out in the three

    temptations that he puts in front of Jesus. He tempts him with pleasure, pride and power—the same

    kind of human temptations that pull at each one of us.

    Just as Jesus is tempted, we realize we’re tempted, too. These temptations can also be cunning because

    the devil has a way of making things look good, even when they’re not. The best thing we can do is be

    sure to test those seemingly good things to make sure they’re good for us, good for others, and good for

    our relationship with God. One obvious test is to determine whether or not the temptation pulls us into

    ourselves at the cost of what’s good all around us—including our faith life and our life in the Church.

    We learn that from Jesus. In each of the three temptations, the devil assures Jesus

    he will be satisfied. But, what Jesus counters with is the realization that there’s

    more to it than just himself. He knows he is in a relationship with God. He knows

    who to trust.

    And that’s why, even though the devil knows scripture, Jesus knows it better.

    Being anchored to God’s word gives us wisdom. The scriptures are clear about

    this. It gives us the wisdom to resist temptations that seem too good to be true.

    When tempted to turn stones into bread, Jesus says, “One doesn’t live by bread alone, but by every word

    that comes forth from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). What’s really remarkable is that this reminds

    us of the Eucharist. The Eucharist begins as bread, but when we hear the words from the mouth of God

    the Son, it becomes His very presence. The bread we receive is the Bread of Life.

    God’s word brings power. So if you’ve been reading daily

    reflections this Lent, or going to the word of God each day for

    spiritual nourishment (we have resources on our website if

    you’re looking for something), it’s one of the best things we can

    do. Temptations will hit us. What we discover during

    spiritually significant times, like Lent, is that we have the power

    to overcome them.

    We have the words of life. And along with the Eucharist, those

    words give us exactly what we need in a confusing world with

    many temptations—sustenance.

    May God bless us on our journey toward Easter,

    —Fr. Mike

    GOSPEL MEDITATION:

    ENCOURAGING DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE

    1

    st

    Sunday of Lent

    Life can easily spin us out of control. While there are so many

    wonderful opportunities before us, we can also get easily

    distracted and exhausted. There is always something to do,

    respond to, or check. The clutter of our lives can take us off

    course, and the best remedy for getting back on track is the

    experience of the desert. Here we can face our demons square

    on, resist them, and get back on course. We desperately need

    the season of Lent. This simple time of year forces us into

    greater awareness and grounds us in what is good and true.

    What weighs you down and keeps you trapped? Maybe you

    are trying to do too much and please too many people. It could

    be that your fragile self-image is always pushing you to prove

    yourself and find success. Anxiety and worry, ultimately due to

    a lack of faith, can quickly tempt you with despair. It could be

    that you are listening to too many voices and allowing all of the

    negativity that is present erode the genuine goodness in your

    heart and in all of God’s creation. Or maybe you struggle too

    much with fear. Perhaps so much so that you are far too

    preoccupied with your own agenda and goals and left with little

    psychological or spiritual room to consider and respond to the

    plight of your neighbor. Do anger, bitterness, stubbornness, and hatred have homes in your heart?

    How about greed, gluttony, pride, apathy, or lust?

    For many, their passions and what can be found on the internet are their downfall, and they are robbed

    of their inner life and freedom. What is it, specifically, that tempts you away from a childlike trust in

    God? Define this and use the next few weeks to allow God to chart you a course away from them.

    Silence, being alone, grace, honesty, struggle, tears, and dryness are all found in the desert. You

    will also find God and your true self in this holy place. Ready to go?

    At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit

    into the desert to be tempted by the devil.

    Sun, Storms, Wilderness, Deserts, and Spirituality

    by Ron Rolheiser, O.M.I.

    A number of years ago, accompanied by an excellent Jesuit director, I did a 30-day retreat using the Spiritual

    Exercises of St. Ignatius. In the third week of that retreat there’s a meditation on Jesus’ agony in the garden. I did the

    meditation to the best of my abilities and met with my director to discuss the result. He wasn’t satisfied and asked me

    to repeat the exercise. I did, reported back to him, and found him again dissatisfied. I was at a loss to grasp exactly

    what he wanted me to achieve through that meditation, though obviously I was missing something. He kept trying to

    explain to me that Ignatius had a concept wherein one was supposed to take the material of a meditation and “apply it

    to the senses” and I was somehow not getting that part.

    Eventually he asked me this question: “When doing this meditation, have you been sitting comfortably inside an air-

    conditioned chapel?” My answer was yes. “Well,” this wise Jesuit replied, “no wonder you aren’t able to properly apply

    this to your senses. How can you really feel what Jesus felt in his agony in garden when you are sitting warm, snug,

    secure, and comfortable in an air-conditioned room?” His advice was that I redo the exercise, but do it late in the

    evening, outside, in the dark, cold, subject to nature’s elements, and perhaps even a little afraid of what I might meet

    physically out there.

    He made a good point, not just for my struggle with this particular spiritual exercise but about one of the major

    deficiencies within contemporary spirituality. Simply put: Our prayer and spiritual quests are not enough connected to

    nature. For all of our good intentions and hard work, we are too-platonic, too much trying to have our souls transformed

    while our bodies sit warm, safe, and uninvolved. The physical elements of nature and our own bodies play too small a

    role in our efforts to grow spiritually.

    This is the major critique that Bill Plotkin, an important new voice in spirituality, makes of what he sees happening in

    much of Christian spirituality today. From our church programs, to what happens in our retreat centers, to the spiritual

    quests people more deliberately pursue, Plotkin sees too little connection to nature, to the sun, to storms, to the

    wilderness, and to the desert that Jesus himself sought out.

    Plotkin, who doesn’t work out of an explicitly Christian perspective but is sympathetic to it, runs a wilderness center out

    of which he directs people who are searching spiritually. One of the things that his center offers is a wilderness quest.

    People are offered the option of going out into the wilderness for some days alone, taking very little to protect

    themselves from what they might meet there. While sensible precautions are taken and prudence isn’t irresponsibly

    bracketed, the people doing these quests nonetheless often find themselves pretty vulnerable to the elements and

    battling a good amount of fear.

    And the quests are effective mainly because of that. Real transformation often happens and it is very much attributed

    to the battle that the one doing the quest had to wage in the face of fear and the physical elements. Plotkin’s book,

    Soulcraft, contains a number of powerful testimonies of people who share how what they experienced in the wilderness

    – real exposure and real fear – led to real transformation in their lives. For something to be real it has to be real!

    Jesus knew that and went on his own “wilderness quest”, 40 days alone in the desert where, as the Gospels tell us, he

    did his own battle with “the wild beasts”. We read accounts in the Gospels too of how he spent whole nights outside,

    alone, praying. It’s no accident that his struggle to give his life over takes place in a garden and not in an air-

    conditioned church. Beautiful church buildings have power to transform but so too do the sun, storms, the wilderness,

    and the desert. It’s good to seek out both places, and lately Christian spirituality has been too negligent of the latter.

    And it not just the things in nature that batter us and cause us fear to which we need to expose ourselves. Nature also

    waters the earth. There are few things in life that can induce the joy we can experience by drinking in nature. As the

    Canticle of Daniel (3,57-88) so wonderfully celebrates it, many things in nature nurture the soul and fill it with life: the

    sun, the moon, the stars, winds, fire and heat, cold and chill, dew and rain, ice and snow, light and darkness, lightening

    and clouds, mountains and hills, seas and rivers, plants and animals. Each of these can trigger special memories and

    special joys, if we stay awake to them.

    We need to let nature touch more of our bodies and our souls, both for our spiritual health and for our health in general.

    For something to be real it has to be real!

    Our Teens are Doing

    Amazing Things

    What a lot of us don’t realize are the incredible acts

    of kindness and goodness that take place in our

    parish week after week, often silent and unseen.

    We have parishioners giving other parishioners a

    Helping Hand—anything from companionship to

    shoveling a walkway to giving someone a lift to

    Mass.

    Our Job Ministry program is actively helping people

    in the Chicagoland area build up their resumes,

    interviewing skills, and networks to get them back

    to work.

    And our teens are involved, too. They’re actively

    doing works of service. Just this past week, almost

    40 teens made blankets to give to children at St.

    Alexius Children’s hospital. They also donated

    blankets to the Prayer Shawl ministry to offer to

    someone in a wheelchair warmth and comfort.

    Those of you who stopped by the Prayer Shawl table

    last Sunday (another incredible ministry) may have

    noticed them and even took one to pass it on.

    This past November, 6

    th

    graders went shopping and

    prepared a box of food so a family in need could

    enjoy a thanksgiving dinner.

    And just a few weeks ago, the same group prepared a

    meal to serve at the local PADS shelter for the

    homeless.

    Our teens are empowered to do these things,

    because our parishioners are giving their own time

    to instill it within them along with their families.

    We have an incredibly generous community of faith!

    It’s good to be a part of it.

    without much if it wasn’t for your help! Most folks are

    just trying to keep their head above water. These are

    the people we should continue to assist. It’s hard to

    spend limited funds on incidentals when food is

    needed. Please keep in mind paper products,

    detergent, shampoo, deodorant and other things you

    yourself find as necessities! (Snacks for the children

    always brings a happy smile!)

    Acing the Job Interview

    March 9, 7:00—9:00 PM

    Parish Ministry Center

    This presentation focuses on improving

    interview skills. Our speaker, Gene Flynn

    (Presenter for Job Search Topics), will look at

    specific interview questions and discuss how

    weak answers can hurt your chances, while

    strong answers can build your credibility and

    establish rapport with the hiring manager.

    Topics include: understanding the

    added value you bring to a

    position, building credibility by

    using concrete examples of past

    behavior, dealing with tough

    interview questions, and addressing negative

    assumptions that are made about you.

    For questions regarding St. Hubert Job Ministry

    events, contact Mike Ritter, Co-Coordinator, at

    [email protected].

    Lenten Service Project

    Wednesday, March 4, 6:00-7:30 PM

    740 Wiley Farm Court, Schaumburg

    Lent is the forty-day liturgical season of fasting,

    prayer and almsgiving in preparation for Easter.

    Each year, we try to find creative ways to make

    Lent a memorable one. It is more than just

    giving up something that you will simply return

    to at the end of 40 days. During this time, we

    are called to grow deeper in our relationship

    with God and become ever closer with Him on

    our earthly pilgrimage. What better way to begin

    than to give of yourself for others.

    Join our parish as we answer God’s call to feed

    the hungry and serve those in need. We

    encourage families to volunteer together.

    As a volunteer, you will:

    • Engage world hunger

    • Make a tangible impact

    • Experience the incredible joy of turning

    hunger into hope with your own two

    hands

    • Experience a genuine and meaningful

    service opportunity

    • Learn what hunger looks like

    • See first-hand the stories of precious

    children whose lives have been saved

    and given futures filled with HOPE

    because of the nutritious meals YOU

    hand-pack

    You must register online to reserve your spot.

    Space is limited, so register now:

    Helping Hands Ministry

    Story 2

    The Helping Hands Ministry continues to enrich my

    life through the friendships made while assisting

    others. One such memory is that of a parishioner

    who requested help running errands and yard work

    as she was physically and visually impaired. A trip to

    the grocery store or pharmacy turned into a friendly

    visit. Being homebound, this senior was longing for

    human interaction and companionship. I recall

    pulling weeds in her front yard as she sat outside in

    a chair to watch and talk. Thus, our visits evolved

    into a deep friendship. When she passed, another

    helping hands volunteer and I were asked to help

    select and read passages at her funeral service. I’m

    not sure who benefitted most from this relationship.

    What a gift!
