PRAYER TO MARY, QUEEN IN THE HOME

O Blessed Virgin Mary, you are the mother and queen of every Christian family. When you conceived and gave birth to Jesus, human motherhood reached its greatest achievement. From the time of the Annunciation you were the living chalice of the Son of God made man. You are the queen of the home. As a woman of faith, you

inspire all mothers to transmit faith to their children. Watch over our families. Let children learn free and loving obedience inspired by your obedience to God. Let parents learn dedication and selflessness based on your unselfish attitude. Let all families honor you and remain devoted to you so that they may be held together by your example and your intercession. — Amen

NOMINATIONS FOR PASTORAL COUNCIL 2021-2022

Our parish is continually blessed to have parishioners who are willing to serve in our mission “to restore all things in Christ.” In that tradition we ask that you prayerfully consider nominating those who you believe would be willing to serve on the Pastoral Council. You may nominate yourself as well! We are seeking four new members to serve a one, two or three year term beginning July 1, 2021.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS? Members must be baptized, practicing Catholics; 18 years of age or older; and registered parishioners. The By-Laws of the Pastoral Council suggest that members should have talents that can contribute to the work of the Council,

and that the overall membership of the Council represents the entirety of the parish.

WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT FOR MEMBERS? Members will be asked to commit to a 1, 2 or 3 year term beginning July 1, 2021. Attend one Pastoral Council meeting per month, usually on the fourth Tuesday at 7:00 PM. Attend the Annual Discernment Meeting. Attend the Commission meeting where the member serves as the appointed Chairperson, or attend the meeting to which they have been appointed to serve as Liaison. Participate in other activities as agreed upon.

HOW CAN I LEARN MORE? To learn more about the work of the Council and the Discernment process we encourage you to contact a Pastoral Council member. Their photos and contact information are posted on our parish website.

From the desk of the Business Manager: Thank You: Thank you for your support during this challenging time. We keep everyone in our prayers, and we hope to gather together without restrictions soon. Our ministries have been meeting virtually or outdoors during this past year. Many activities of our ministries have taken place while complying with Covid regulations. Parish Projects: In the past few years, we expressed our needs for many parish improvements. We are thankful for the donations from parishioners for the Parking Lots and the Madison Street Canopy. This past year we received two very generous bequests of $525,000 and $600,000. With the parishioner donations for parish projects and the bequest funds, we are able to complete some of the projects on our list of needs. These bequest funds are to be used for Capital improvements on our campus; they are not intended for yearly budgeted operating costs. On Monday, May 3, construction will begin on the Madison Street Canopy. During this project, we will also be installing an ADA compliant automatic door opener. Construction of the canopy and entrance improvements will take a few weeks to complete. When entering and exiting the church, please use Door #8 which is the door on the east end of the building used for the chapel entrance. The other major project being completed is the repaving of the parking lots. This will begin in June sometime after school is dismissed for the summer. The pavement replacement has been approved by the Diocese already. We will keep you up to date on the temporary changes for parking and entering the church building. Some of the monies have already been used for: Asbestos abatement and new flooring in some of the classrooms, new roof on the Social Center, and some landscaping. Some of the other improvements being considered at this time: church air conditioning, some window replacements around campus, and the Social Center restroom remodeling. Goodbye: Kirsten Currie, who has been serving as our Music Director for the past seven years, has decided to make a career change. Our best wishes and prayers go out to her in her future endeavors. Thank you for your ministry at St. Pius X. We were truly blessed to have her talents shared with us. Memorial Paver Bricks: Final call for our spring paver brick order. Orders must be received by Monday, May 10. Once again, thank you for your support of St. Pius X Catholic Community. I will keep my prayers going for the end of this pandemic. If you have any questions, please give me a call at the Parish Office: 630-627-4526 X208. Restore all things in Christ! Donna Cooper

REFLEXION

La alegoría o comparación de la vid y los sarmientos es de tal belleza y claridad que en seguida acapara nuestra atención. La idea que, en el marco de la Última Cena, Jesús quiere transmitir a sus discípulos por medio de esta especie de parábola es de gran sencillez y extraordinaria clarividencia: entre Él y sus discípulos, hay comunión de vida, una vida de calidad divina que fluye de Cristo a los discípulos. A la manera como el sarmiento vive y da fruto gracias a su inserción en la vid, así los discípulos sólo pueden dar fruto si permanecen unidos a Jesús. Lo recalca el propio Jesús: Sin mí no podéis hacer nada (se sitúa en un orden sobrenatural). Él y sus discípulos se distinguen, no se confunden, pero, no obstante, se integran en una unidad. Esta unión consiste en la mutua permanencia de los discípulos en Jesús y de Jesús en los discípulos. La clave de esa mutua permanencia está en la palabra de Jesús, que es revelación del Padre y de su proyecto salvador para los hombres. Al igual que la Palabra creadora, al principio, hizo el mundo por su poder, así la Palabra de Dios, que es Cristo, cuando llegó la plenitud del tiempo (Gál 4,4), vino con poder para refundar el mundo y hacer de los hombres nuevas criaturas divinizadas. La palabra de Jesús creída, acogida y vivida por los discípulos realiza la mutua permanencia, de la que se enriquecen los discípulos, dando buen fruto. La fe en la palabra de Jesús produce en el discípulo un salto de calidad sobrenatural: de la condición meramente natural humana a otra de calidad divina; y el fruto de esa nueva vida es el amor, no el amor humano, sino el amor divino que es don del Espíritu Santo. La vida en el amor es la expresión de la fe regeneradora. El amor que el Espíritu de Dios suscita en el creyente no es, como dice san Juan en su primera carta, un amor que se diluye en hermosas declaraciones, sino que se traduce en obras; éste es un amor de verdad y, por tanto, los que lo practican son de la verdad pues tienen en sí el amor de Dios, que tapa multitud de pecados (1Pe 4,8; Lc 7,47), pues Dios es mayor que nuestro corazón. Mejor aún si el corazón no nos reprocha pecado alguno porque cumplimos su mandamiento de creer en Jesucristo y amar a los hermanos (considerados ambos encargos como un solo mandamiento); entonces es plena nuestra confianza en que Dios nos concederá cuanto le pidamos, que, a buen seguro, se ajustará a la voluntad de Dios al ser guiados por el Espíritu de Dios. La vid es una planta que da el fruto provechoso de la uva. El Padre favorece la comunión de los discípulos con Jesús podando los sarmientos que llevan fruto para que su fruto se acreciente y mejore en calidad; pero si el sarmiento se desconecta de la vid (por su desatención a la palabra de Jesús, su abandono de la oración, su alejamiento de los sacramentos, o el endurecimiento del corazón para los hermanos), termina secándose y el Padre lo corta (no tiene por qué ser inmediatamente, pues la misericordia de Dios no tiene límites). Al igual que el fruto colma la satisfacción del agricultor, así el buen discípulo, llevando una vida semejante a la de Jesús, es la gloria del Padre, que se gloría de que el hombre viva.

WHO’S AT THE DOOR? A REFLECTION FROM OUR LIVES TODAY — We are living the circumstances in which history is being written. Into this roil, I ask the question: Who or what is knocking at our safe and secure door? Is it the wolf that wants entry? The image of the unwanted wolf at the door is legendary in folktale and deep within our psyches and souls. In the Gospel life—there is the One knocking…the great story of faith that Christ always arrives at the door of our hearts—there is no door knob on the outside where The Shepherd stands ready to enter—only we can open the door. Will we? This day of reflection draws upon the trans historical and transcultural span of shaping myths about the undesirable at the door pushing itself in. We return to the profound, children’s stories of “The Three Little Pigs” or “Little Red Riding Hood” to glean insight for our fearsome time and the sacred scriptures that speak of the door, the knock and who will open it for the One who longs to be with us. (lunch is included) — Facilitator: Avis Clendenden is currently coordinator for liturgical and spiritual ministries at Mercy Circle in Chicago. She is also professor emerita of religious studies at Saint Xavier University in Chicago. Avis offers retreats and days of reflection that integrate insights from depth psychology with pathways to spiritual life and growth.
