All of Us - #551
Fr. Larry
Thanks, Dad! A clergyman walking down a country lane sees a young farmer struggling to load hay back onto a cart after it had fallen off. "You look tired, my son," said the cleric. "Why don't you rest a moment and I'll give you a hand." "No thanks," said the young man. "My father wouldn't like it." "Don't be silly," the minister said. "Everyone is entitled to a break. Come and have a drink of water. Again the young man protested that his father would be upset. Losing his patience, the clergyman said, "Your father must be a real slave driver. Tell me where I can find him and I'll give him a piece of my mind!" "Well," replied the young farmer, "he's under the load of hay." Congratulations to all dads today as we celebrate Fathers Day. We extend to them our gratitude for all the love and support they give to their families. One of the best things a dad can do for his kids today is to simply show-up for them. Being there for your son or daughter means a lot and can have a huge impact upon their lives. Lots of kids get into serious trouble because they are missing a good role model. Without a father figure to guide them, they quickly get lost in their lives. Dads have the ability to help their kids learn the value of working hard and using the gifts and talents that God gave us. A paycheck is something you earn and is not money blindly entitled to you. Your salary reflects your sweat, hard work and dedication. Dads have the opportunity to let their kids understand the value of patience. Patience especially when you help your son or daughter learn how to ride their bicycle for the first time without training wheels. You wonder how many times you have to run up and down the block with them before they get it and fly by themselves. I know a dad by the name of Joe Shannon. He and his wife, Sally, raised 12 kids. He said to me once, Father,

can you imagine what it is like to have to teach your kids 12 times how to drive a car, and then go with them to get their license? Honestly, its a little nerve racking. I told him, Joe, I am sure your reward will be great in heaven. It sounds like you already paid your dues here on earth. Happy Fathers Day to all our dads. May you be able to sit back and relax. Let your kids spoil you. Take it all in and enjoy those who care about you. On the Mend Please keep my dad, Ed Lisowski, in your prayers. A couple of weeks ago he fell and hurt himself at home. He ended up fracturing one of the bones above his tailbone. This really, really hurts. I guess it is more painful than a broken rib. Currently my dad is at the Mother Theresa Home, right here in Lemont, which is part of the Franciscan Village facilities. Luckily for me, its just three minutes away from the front door of the rectory. I can see him every day. My dad has been slowly improving day by day. He is eating good, sleeping well and the pain in his back has decreased significantly. He has been receiving great care and attention by the staff of the Mother Theresa Home. I thank you, and certainly my dad thanks you, for all your prayers, support and concern. It has been a great help to us. Happy Anniversary! Congratulations to Rev. Francis J. Affelt, O.F. M., who celebrated his 60th anniversary of priesthood ordination on June 14th. Fr. Francis has many family ties to our parish. If you would like to send him a greeting card, he can be reached at: Rev. Francis J. Affelt, O.F.M. Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration 1515 W. Dragon T.R. P.O. Box 766 Mishawaka, Indiana 46546-0766 I am sure he would love to get some good old fashioned snail mail.

SS. Cyril & Methodius Parish United in Faith

June 17, 2012

Welcome to SS. Cyril & Methodius Parish

The Parish Staff of St. Cyrils welcomes all to our historic parish that has carried on the mission of Jesus since 1884.

On July 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th, St. Alphonsus Parish will host the daily morning Mass in their Church at 7:30 AM to accommodate the parishioners of the St. Patrick, SS. Cyril & Methodius and St. Alphonsus communities. (There will be a 9:00 AM Mass on Wednesday the 4th of July here at St. Cyril's for the holiday.) This is because a number of priests will be gone from the area on retreat and it is the best solution to oblige the people of the three parishes. Please offer a small prayer for the priests of the Archdiocese of Chicago and an increase in vocations both religious and lay ministers. The Church depends on those who have decided to devote their time and energy to keeping the mission of Jesus Christ alive and thriving in our society.

Fortnight for Freedom

The bishops called for a Fortnight for Freedom, a 14 -day period of prayer, education and action in support of religious freedom, from June 22-July 4. The 14 days from June 21the vigil of the Feasts of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas Moreto July 4, Independence Day, are dedicated to this. This special period of prayer, study, catechesis and public action would emphasize both our Christian and American heritage of liberty. The following is the prayer written for these 14 days by the bishops. Please pray this prayer during this fortnight with family, friends or alone. Almighty God, Father of all nations, for freedom you have set us free in Christ Jesus (Gal 5:1). We praise and bless you for the gift of religious liberty, the foundation of human rights, justice and the common good. Grant to our leaders the wisdom to protect and promote our liberties; by your grace may we have the courage to defend them, for ourselves and for all those who live in this blessed land. We ask this through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, our patroness, and in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, with whom you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. The Office for Divine Worship has suggested the following thoughts and scriptures for each day.

LiveJustly: Food Waste

Continuing with Tips for the Home:
i

Rediscover the art of soup. Take all the misshapen things in the refrigerator and be creative! Buy smaller amounts of the higher quality food you can. You are more likely to use them and less likely to toss them. Shop like a Europeanif you canmake frequent trips to local stores for smaller amount of very fresh food. Store leftovers in single portion containers. You can easily tote them for lunch the next day. When something is reaching its last days, store it in the freezer. Food properly frozen can be defrosted and brought back to life. Use the bulk food section when possible. Then you can buy exactly the amount you need. Buy the highest quality food you can find. The more you pay for it the more likely you are to eat it. At restaurants, ask about portion sizes. Ask for to go containers at the start if the portion sizes are too large. Also at restaurants, be mindful of sides. If you are not going to eat them or take them home, decline them. Try composting food scraps at home or finding an outlet for them.

i i

to fear. Be not afraid! The Lord is my shepherd, whom shall I fear? Ps. 23:1
i Friday, June 22nd: Many voices foster

i i i

discouragement about the churchs role in the world. Live today in hope! In hope we were saved. Rom. 8:24
i Saturday, June 23rd: Love an enemy today. For if

you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Mt. 5:43-48
i Sunday, June 24th: Pray for those around the world i i

without liberties ..where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Cor. 3:17 Next week will have the balance of the days intentions.

HOPE: An Immigrant Story

I was a stranger and you welcomed me..(Matthew 25:35) I received my permanent residency on February 10, 2011. I just had to wait 21 years. These are the words of Maria, an immigrant from Mexico who came to the U.S. in 1990 to find a better life for her children. Though she is a permanent resident, her son is not. My son graduated from U of I. However, because hes still undocumented he wont be able to practice his profession here. If I could trade places with anyone it would be with him. Maria is now involved in the Immigrant-to Immigrant Ministry, which she says helps her live out the gospel message to love thy neighbor. How could we accompany immigrants like Maria and families like hers? ACTION: Visit the Catholic DREAMERS of Chicago on Facebook and learn how you and your parish could accompany these talented young people like Marias son. www.facebook.com/CatholicDreamersofChicago Office for Immigrant Affairs and Immigration Education

Like the mustard seed, our Marriages can grow and flourish with Gods love. Attend a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend to learn better how to listen for Gods love and enrich our sacrament. The next Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekends for the Chicago/Northwest Indiana area are September 7-9, 2012, November 2-4, 2012 or February 15-17, 2013. Early registration is highly recommended. For reservations/information, call Jim & Kris at 1-800-442-3554 or contact us through www.wwmechicago-gary.org.
