Pastor’s Corner
This bulletin is the first one in real
time for several weeks. Holiday
season at the printers means that we
always have to have everything
done way in advance. I want to take
this opportunity to thank all those
who made this Christmas so
beautiful. The music, environment,
the ministries were all conducted
with reverence and joy. I want to
thank all those who generously
shared their blessings with the
parish. Not only is giving part of the
spirit of Christmas, but giving is
good for us, sharing the fruit of our
labor to help advance the kingdom
of God on earth is something we
need to do if we believe.
There was a small wrinkle in the
celebrations introduced by our
sound system. It is getting old and
microphones get short circuits. We
had just fixed one a few weeks
before Christmas, then on Christmas
another went out. The serious
inconvenience was at the 9 am Mass
Christmas morning. Only this past
Saturday, a whole section went out.
Thanks to John Schlaman, this was
also repaired immediately. However
the sound system will doubtless
requires some major updating in the
near future.

Speaker: Sallie Latkovich, CSJ
This presentation will explore the abundance with
which we live, including a challenge to live
simply. There are biblical foundations to living
such a life-style, and several authors who write
about living simply so that others may simply
live. Come to this presentation expecting to be both
affirmed and challenged.

It takes a lot of work to make our
church look this beautiful for Christmas,
and Ordinary Time! Please stay or come
back after 12:15 Mass this Sunday,
January 11 to help take down our
Christmas decorations. We appreciate
your help!

Speaker: Al Gustafson
Those of us “connected,” are all aware of the gravitational
pull a smart phone alert has on our psyche and behavior.
Knowing a new message is waiting for us to read…no
matter what we may be doing, it is very difficult to resist
the temptation. And most cannot resist. In fact, there is now
a boot camp available for those of us who are addicted to
our devices.
Smart phones do make our lives immeasurably better, but
every light casts a shadow. Our business breakfast will
begin with a test to determine just how attached we are to
the smartphone in our pocket. We will then consider how
we might more effectively use technology rather than be
used by it as we tap into the wisdom of sources such as
Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and the Catholic
teaching on birth control. After reading that sentence, you
might be thinking, what wisdom and what could it possibly
have to do with my phone? You will have to show up at the
business breakfast to find out. To register call
630.369.0777.

Our parish theme and missional directives in
God’s Word To Us
Reflection on Lectionary Readings
Feast of the Holy Family
The Spirit makes us children of God.
Originally the Baptism of Jesus formed one of the three events that
the fathers of the Church believed set Christ and Christianity on its
unique and specific mission. They constitute a new epiphany or manifestation of God. The first is the appearance of God, in the flesh, the
light of the world symbolized by the light of a star. The third was the
wedding at Cana symbolizing the union of humanity and divinity in
Christ, as well as the blood poured forth by Christ, when his time
came, in a perfect self-gift to the Father.
The second, the Baptism of Jesus, speaks of a new dimension given
to human life by the Holy Spirit. The spirit is the manifestation of who
a person is. With the baptism with the Holy Spirit, we can manifest
God in the world. We are no longer slaves to past habits, the powers
that be, or the temptations that can mislead us and deceive us in a
myriad of ways.
In the Spirit we become children of God with the right to inherit an
eternal home with Jesus our elder brother. God welcomes us to our
new family with open arms and expects us to do the same with others. We are equipped with all kinds of gifts to accomplish this so that
it is really the Spirit working through us. We are the feet, hands and
mouth of God going in his name into the world. By becoming reoriented to a new goal and purpose in life, the commandments are no
longer burdensome obstacles in the way of what we might want, but
now are in sync with what we want because we want what God wants.

Fr. Paul’s Homily
The Very Idea of Family
Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph/B Sunday, December 28, 2014 10:45 AM
Sir 3:2-6, 12-14; Col 3:12-21; Lk 2:22, 39-40
(Joy comes from giving love freely to those who need it. The family is the first school where we learn that essential lesson.)
As we continue to celebrate the octave
of the great feast of Christmas, the
liturgy of the Church turns our attention
to family, the Holy Family, our
families, and the very idea of family.
Sometimes we can take our families for
granted. Sometimes we take the love that
we gather from them and share with
them for granted, as if it’s a necessary
ingredient in everyone’s life. Well, it
really isn’t. It’s a gift freely given, freely
received, for which we need to be
grateful. There are so many people in the
world today that do not have the
necessities either physically to live a
decent life, lacking food or shelter or
clean water or dwelling, or spiritually
lacking love, acceptance, family. These
are great gifts that we share and need
to be aware of.
So our Church wants us to reflect on the
reality of family life, not just our own
families but the reality of family itself.
God has designed life in such a way that
many generations interact and are
interdependent. We need all the
generations. We enrich each other
wherever we belong. The old share
experience and wisdom with the young,
and the young really need that.
Hopefully they learn how to receive
what they are given. And the young lend
their strength and adaptability to the old,
and the old need that; and hopefully they
learn how to receive it. The result is a
rich and beautiful experience
exceeding the wealth or beauty that
any one person on his or her own
could ever acquire.
When a man and a woman marry it is for
better or for worse, meaning the
commitment must exceed mere
prosperity or convenience. Families
share likewise in this kind of a
commitment since no life is free from
burdens, disappointments, accidents,
diseases, and various forms of distress.
So interdependence of family members
does not only intermingle the different
generations, it intermingles different
degrees of health, prosperity, success,
well-being, and accomplishment, so that
we all can be helping one another.
What we must never forget is that the
very life of God, the very life God has
given us to share, is marked by mutual
giving and serving, because this is
essential to God. That’s what the
mystery of the Incarnation reveals to us,
the mystery of Christ, that God is a
loving, generous, serving God, and he
has given himself in Christ as a model
for all of us. Thus we can learn this
great lesson that joy comes—joy
comes—from serving. Joy comes from
giving love freely to those who need it.
The family is the first school where we
learn that essential lesson.
Further, in a family we learn another
lesson: that all people do not think,
feel, or believe alike. Yet in spite of
many differences we can learn how to
get along; and we can learn how to
accept one another, because despite all
kinds of differences, deep down inside,
in spite of personality and
temperamental differences, all human
beings are really the same and have
the same needs. Physically we all have
the need for food, shelter, clothing, and
so on; and spiritually we all need love
and acceptance. Society is nothing more
than an extension of that. Unfortunately
in our contemporary society many
people believe that they can rewrite the
laws of creation and make the individual
the basic building block of social order,
and this will never work. Individuals
cannot create themselves, nurture
themselves, or fulfill themselves. We
need one another. You might have
heard this song years ago—I think
Barbra Streisand sang it—“People who
need people are the luckiest people in
the world.” Actually they are the only
people in the world. And I must say also
that unmarried people, single people, are
not “unfamilied” people. They belong to
families. They contribute to families and
are enriched by their contributions. So
we have to keep in mind family in a
9
very broad sense. And even in a
broader sense there are families that are
not related by blood at all, but really
serve the purposes of mutual love,
acceptance, and service.
Likewise, the parish is a family; it’s a
family of families. Even though
individuals may join the Church, by
joining they become a member of what
St. Paul calls “the household of God.”
And just as cousins are not the same
thing as siblings but nonetheless related,
so unbelievers who belong to the
family of believers are related to the
household of God. They are cousins.
They belong to us too, even though they
are not full members and even though
they are not actually communicants. We
have to keep that in mind and keep
them in prayer as we pray as a parish
family for our needs.
The quintessential celebration of family
life of course is the meal. Thanksgiving
isn’t a great time because of turkey.
Christmas is not about the goose or the
standing roast. It’s about family getting
together and celebrating. Likewise, the
Eucharist is a gathering of the
household of God at a meal. Sad to
say, as many families complain, there
are fewer and fewer occasions where
families actually sit down and share a
meal. And this is sad. This is not helping
us. Likewise, the household of God also
gathers less and less often together to
share the Eucharist. Again, this is not
helping us. To say that such
circumstances are the result of the way
society is, is to put things backwards.
Society is the way it is because of the
priorities people have set for
themselves. There is a gift of the Holy
Spirit called wisdom. Wisdom is the
gift of seeing the connection between
what we choose and the consequences.
Let us pray for one another and all of
families of our parish that in the year of
our Lord 2015 we will all gain the use of
this holy gift of wisdom.
Our Christmas Parishioners Helping Parishioners program was a great success this year. We were able to help 12
parish families celebrate a joy-filled Christmas. Below are a few quotes from thank you cards.
“Words cannot express how touched, appreciative and grateful my children and I were
when we received the beautiful and much needed gift certificates for groceries and gifts
this Christmas. Being laid off at this time of year is very difficult, but knowing I have a
caring Church family sending thoughts and prayers makes it much less difficult. God
Bless you.”
“Thank you so much. The appreciation I feel can hardly be put into words. Thank you
for your kindness, your letter, the thoughtfulness — everything.”
