Year of Mercy
Introducing Father Richard
Raising the dead. There are two stories, three really, of
someone coming back from death at the hand of another.
Although I might not see myself bringing an unbreathing boy
or dead man back among the living as Jesus or Elijah did, I can
keep vigil with the dying and with those who mourn them.
What great mercy work! The third story is more metaphorical.
Paul, who first persecuted the young Church, then was knocked
off his horse by the living Christ, spent three years in solitude
listening and praying and taking guidance from God. Paul
withdrew for a needed time and, refreshed by God, came back
stronger to do God’s work.
 How will I carve out some time this week to listen to and
be with God?
 Who is dying and needs my visit and my prayer?
 Who is grieving and needs my presence and my comfort?
Psalm 30, the proper one for today, sings of God’s rescue. Use
this link to listen to one setting by Rory Cooney:
http://www.giamusic.com/search_details.cfm?title_id=3091
My name is Richard Grek. I’m an ordained member of the
Congregation of the Resurrection, presently acting as the
administrator of St. Pius X parish here in Lombard. Although I
will be residing at the parish rectory, my permanent address is
at the former Gordon Tech High School faculty residence (on
the corner of California Ave. and Addison Street in Chicago). It
is a privilege for me to spend a few weeks with you as the
administrator of St. Pius while Fr. George is away. Please keep
me in your prayers as I do my best to fulfill my ministry. A
giant thanks to the staff and many parishioners who have
welcomed me this first week.
Pope quote of the week:
"In the presence of a repentant people, God's justice is
transformed into mercy and forgiveness. This challenges us by
inviting us to make room for this same inner attitude. To
become merciful, we must first acknowledge that we have done
many things wrong: we are sinners! We need to know how to
say: 'Lord, I am ashamed of what I have done in life'. If we act
in this way, how many good things will follow. With this
attitude of repentance we will be more capable of being
merciful, because we feel God's mercy for us."
—Pope Francis

Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Half the liturgical year 2016 is completed
after six months of extraordinary
celebrations. The Incarnation mystery:
Jesus' advent, nativity, epiphany. The
Paschal mystery: Jesus' passion, death,
resurrection, Pentecost's Holy Spirit. The
solemnities of Holy Trinity and Jesus' Body
and Blood. Today the Church resumes
Sundays in Ordinary Time, but with a
Gospel of extraordinary mercy: Jesus raises
a dead man to life. Yet the one who benefits most from his
extraordinary mercy is not the dead son but his widowed
mother. With her husband and only son deceased, this woman's
material support, in that patriarchal society, had vanished. So
had her emotional support, leaving her helpless, abandoned, on
society's "peripheries." One of Pope Francis' hopes in calling
this Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy is to transform us into
more extraordinary Christians, by making our caring outreach
to just such vulnerable people, and our practical self-sacrificing
love for them, our ordinary, daily, Christian way of life!

In the Gospel we see how Jesus was moved with pity and said
to the widow, “Do not cry,” and the people knew that “God
had visited his people.”
When you hear the cries of the poor and reach out
to help them, deep in their hearts the poor know that “God
has visited them.”
Next weekend, the We Care/We Share
baskets will be in the gathering space. Our
Parish's St. Vincent de Paul Pantry is in
need of: Jelly or Jam, Paper towels, Dish

UN DIOS LIBERADOR
1.- Triunfa la vida. El relato del evangelio tiene una estrecha
relación con la primera lectura. Dos personajes se encuentran en
una situación similar. Dos viudas que pierden a sus únicos hijos y
dos desenlaces similares: el hacer revivir a los jóvenes. Las
lecturas de hoy son un canto a la vida. Dios quiere la vida, por
eso devuelve la respiración al hijo de la señora que había
hospedado en su casa. Al profeta Elías. Jesucristo se enfrenta a la
muerte y la vence. El hijo de la viuda de Naín vuelve a la vida. Es
un reto, el de vencer a la muerte, al que Cristo no se ha resistido
nunca. No en vano, Él dijo que había venido para que los
hombres tuvieran vida y la tuvieran abundantemente. Esta vida
que Cristo traía y quería no es solo una vida del más allá, sino
también una vida de acá, una vida en el mundo pensado y creado
para todos los hombres y en donde todos los hombres tienen
derecho a encontrar su hogar. Trabajar en favor de la vida es un
reto de nuestro mundo a todos los hombres de buena voluntad. Es
un reto para todos los cristianos.
2.- Al servicio de la misericordia. Jesús con su propia autoridad
devuelve la vida al joven y a su madre, cuya viudedad significaba
su muerte social. El poder de Jesús es fuente de Vida para las
personas. No consagra las pautas humanas que a tanta gente
impiden hoy desenvolverse como personas, e incluso vivir, y
vivir dignamente. Jesús, en su actuación, hace presente a Dios.
Dios se presenta con una actitud benigna, es un Dios que se
enternece por la situación negativa a la que los hombres
reducimos a muchas personas, que denuncia nuestra inhumanidad
y nos llama a superarla, porque ya ha comenzado El a realizar los
signos de que ese nuevo mundo que podemos hacer ya ha
iniciado. Es un Dios más humano que los propios hombres. Todo
se convierte en una gran pregunta para cada comunidad y persona
cristiana. ¿Dónde están nuestros signos que demuestren nuestra
aportación al crecimiento de este nuevo mundo?
3.- Dios libera y salva. Esta es la gran noticia que tenemos que
divulgar. Los primeros versículos del evangelio de hoy giran en
torno a la madre viuda. La muerte de su hijo es, en realidad, su
propia muerte: ella será, a lo sumo, sujeto de compasión y de
limosna, pero desde ahora carece de identidad; sin su hijo varón
no es nadie. Por eso, la atención del autor no se centra en el
milagro físico, sino en la viuda. Cuando recalca al final "y se lo
entregó a su madre", Lucas no quiere indicar simplemente un
delicado gesto humanitario de Jesús; su intencionalidad es más
profunda: Jesús restituye y hace posible la identidad personal que
los ordenamientos humanos imposibilitan y a veces niegan. Este
es el Reino de Dios, el nuevo ordenamiento humano que Jesús
trae de parte de Dios. La parte final del evangelio muestra el
modo en que los presentes así lo captan y lo manifiestan. Está
teniendo lugar una visita importante: Dios, por medio de su
Profeta, que es el Hijo de Dios, "ha venido a liberar a su pueblo".
En razón del visitante la visita resulta sobrecogedora. No se trata
del miedo psicológico, sino de ese contener sobrecogido la
respiración al caer en la cuenta de la categoría del visitante. Es
uno de los aspectos característicos de la experiencia religiosa
