St. Stephen Deacon & Martyr We are a Stewardship Parish

Parish Mission St. Stephen is a Catholic community of faith striving to witness to the Gospel. Our Baptism and Confirmation call us to bring Christ’s Love to our families, our work places, and our community. Grateful for God’s gifts, we seek to nurture those gifts and to give back to the Lord by sharing our time, talent, and material treasure. In all of our parish activities we seek to develop a personal relationship with the Lord who directs our lives and a vision that sees the world with the eyes of Christ and that leads to a commitment to justice. We seek a sense of unity in Christ that leads us to be an open and welcoming people and a sense of joy in being graced by the gifts of God’s love.

From Our Pastor

Dear People of St. Stephen,

In the Scripture this weekend we hear God’s invitation to all people - to each of us as individuals and to all of us together. It is a wonderful invitation - an invitation to share in the Lord’s feast. In the first reading the prophet Isaiah foretells how one day all would come together, gathered in the presence of the Lord. They would share and celebrate, with all differences and discrimination removed, coming together for a glorious banquet. In the gospel Jesus proclaims the invitation, saying that the banquet of the King, the Lord, is ready, so come. The life of the Lord is ready for us to embrace - a life that will lead us to an eternal banquet in heaven. Jesus’ parable also contains the challenge to us - the challenge to accept His invitation and to embrace the life Jesus offers. The life that the Lord invites us to embrace is in the spirit of the prophet Isaiah’s vision. Jesus offers us life that lasts forever - something no one else can offer. Jesus offers a way to live - His way of love that leads us to eternal life. He offers us helps along the way. Christ walks with us daily and offers the strength of the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. Our challenge is the same as that of the people who heard the king’s invitation in Jesus’ parable. We could ignore the Lord’s invitation, being caught up in our daily business and not willing to let Jesus guide our

lives. Accepting the invitation challenges our values and our ways of living, calling us to overcome our selfishness and our prejudices and to live in the spirit of the Kingdom of God. Accepting God’s invitation demands investment - an investment symbolized in the parable by the wedding garment. The garment for the Lord’s kingdom is made by giving time to build our relationship with Christ and by making efforts to live Jesus’ way, loving God above all things and loving our neighbors as ourselves. The Lord never gives up on us. He never stops inviting us to come to His banquet. In response to this weekend’s Scripture readings, let’s pray that we as individuals and as a parish will grow in our relationship with the Lord who offers this incredible life to us.

I want to mention two specific invitations that can help to build our relationship with the Lord. The first is to young adults. The Archdiocese is sponsoring a young adult faith night called (re)ENCOUNTER. The evening will feature Mark Wahlberg and Cardinal Cupich at the UIC Pavilion, 525 S. Racine in Chicago, this coming Friday, October 20, with the doors opening at 6 PM at the event starting at 6:30 PM. More information on (re)ENCOUNTER is elsewhere in the bulletin and is available at www.recounterchicago.org

The second invitation is to any adults who would be willing to help with our various efforts to involve children in our liturgies. We have a Children’s Liturgy of the Word program twice a month at the 10 AM Sunday Mass where children ages three through sixth grade are invited to go with adult leaders to our meeting room wing during the Scripture readings and the homily in order to have the Scriptures presented to them at their own level. Adult leaders are given materials to guide their time with the children, so no extensive preparation is needed. Also, we have a monthly Family Mass at the 10 AM Mass. Our children’s choir leads the music, families do the readings, and children come around the altar for the homily. If any adults wish to assist with the Children’s Liturgy of the Word program or any families wish to be involved with the Family Mass, please contact me or our religious education office.

May God bless you and your loved ones.

Fr. Jay

From our Associate Pastor

Polish to English Transla on:

Strój weselny Lubimy uczestniczyć w przyjęciach, być częstowanymi smakołykami, dobrze się bawić przy dobrej muzyce. Jedynym minusem jest to, że przyjęcia mają dwie cechy: po pierwsze nie zdarzają się codziennie, po drugie wymagają od nas innego zachowania, innego ubrania, innego nastroju. Chociaż czasami bywa tak, że mimo zaproszenia, nie zawsze mamy na nie ochotę z różnych względów. Ale każdy z nas powinien mieć określoną hierarchię wartości i zachowywać ją w momencie, gdy staje przed wyborem pomiędzy różnymi możliwościami i propozycjami, które mu się nadarzają, a Bożym zaproszeniem. Przed Bogiem nie musimy się krygować, udawać, ponieważ Bóg doskonale nas zna i przed Nim nic się nie ukryje. Ale zadbać powinniśmy o nasz odświętny strój, którym ma być nasza dusza, nasza wiara, nasza miłość do Boga, nasza miłość do bliźniego – nie tylko z rodziny, ale także tego, którego znamy jedynie z widzenia. Ów odświętny strój, który mamy przyoblec w chwili spotkania z Panem, tworzymy od narodzin aż po śmierć. Teraz poprzez analogię do przyjęć weselnych, w których uczestniczyliśmy lub na które nas nie zaproszono, przypatrzmy się, jak Pan Jezus mówi o Sobie, czyniąc to w trzeciej osobie, bo taka jest specyfika przypowieści. Mówiąc o królu zapraszającym na ucztę weselną swego syna, przekazuje nam Prawdę o Królestwie Bożym, Prawdę, którą On sam przyniósł na świat. Królem jest Bóg, ucztą – zbawienie, jakie przyniósł człowiekowi Syn Boży, sługami zaś są prorocy i apostołowie. Zaproszonymi, którzy odmawiają przyjścia na ucztę lub źle się obchodzą ze sługami, są wszyscy, którzy odrzucają Jezusa. Niczego od nich nie żądano, wszystko im zostało dane z dobroci i najwyższej szczodrobliwości. Jednak oni nie chcieli z tego skorzystać, bo inne sprawy uznali za ważniejsze. Odrzucając zaproszenie, odrzucili miłość Boga. Podobnie do nich zachowuje się człowiek, który jest przekonany, że nie potrzebuje zbawienia, człowiek zanurzony w sprawy doczesne, który uważa, że czas poświęcony Bogu i życiu wiecznemu to czas stracony. Bóg jednak nie przestaje ponawiać swego zaproszenia. Kiedy jedni odmawiają, inni zostają zaproszeni na ich miejsce. Ale być wezwanym i przyjść na gody, nie oznacza jeszcze ostatecznego zbawienia. Trzeba mieć strój weselny, by nie zostać wyrzuconym „na zewnątrz w ciemności”. Prawdą jest, że tę „szatę” – bardziej wewnętrzną niż zewnętrzną – daje sam Bóg, Sprawca łaski i wszelkiego dobra w duszy ludzkiej, ale każdy zaproszony musi powiedzieć „tak” Panu, musi przyjąć Jego prawo i odpowiedzieć w pełni na wymagania życia chrześcijańskiego. Czy jest w nas gotowość do przyjęcia „stroju weselnego”? Bo tak naprawdę, to ta gotowość lub „zgrzytanie zębami” zależy od każdego osobiście. Rozważając z największą pokorą dzisiejsze Słowo Boże, bądźmy dobrej myśli i przyjmujmy już teraz zaproszenie Pana do „Uczty Eucharystycznej”. MATKO RÓŻAŃCOWA – dopomóż nam wyzbyć się próżnych i złych wymówek i spraw, abyśmy często i nabożnie uczestniczyli w uczcie, która posila nas wewnętrznie.

Wedding A re We like to par cipate in par es, to be served with delicacies, and to have fun with good music. Par es do not happen every day and they require us to behave differently as we wear different clothes and get into different moods. Although invita ons are nice, we are not always up for par es for various reasons. Each one of us should have a certain priority of values when it comes to choosing between the various possibili es that come to him and God's invita on. With God, we do not have to pretend because God knows us well and there is nothing hidden from Him. When we receive God’s invita on, we should take care of our devo onal dress because it is to our soul, our faith, and our love for God. This devo onal dress, which we wear when we meet the Lord, is created from birth to death. In today’s Gospel, in the analogy to the wedding recep on, we hear the Lord Jesus speaking of himself in the third person. As we hear about the king invi ng guests to the wedding feast of his son, this is Jesus communica ng to us the Truth of the Kingdom of God. This is the Truth He Himself brought into the world. The king is God, the feast is the salva on that was offered to man by the Son of God, and the servants are prophets and apostles. Those who refuse to come to the feast are all those who reject Jesus. Nothing was required of these guests to the feast. Everything was given to them; however, they did not want to a end because they considered other things to be more important. By rejec ng the invita on, they rejected the love of God. Similarly, anyone who believes that they do not need salva on, as they are engrossed in the every day, and believe that the me devoted to God and eternal life is me lost, is similar to these guests. Thankfully for us, God does not cease to repeat his invita on. When some refuse, others are invited in their place. Keep in mind that being summoned and a ending the wedding does not mean final salva on. You need to have wedding a re. It is true that this "internal garment" is given to God and He gives us grace and all the goodness in the human soul, but every invited guest must say "yes" to the Lord and accept his law and fully respond to the demands of Chris an life. Is there any willingness for you to accept "wedding a re" in yourself? This readiness or "gnashing" depends on each person personally. Considering the humility of today's Word of God, let us be happy and accept the Lord's invita on to the "Eucharis c Feast". Dear Lord, help us to get rid of vain and evil excuses that prohibit us from devoutly par cipa ng in the feast that serves us internally.

Prayer for Autumn

Heavenly Father, you made not only the stars of the heavens, but you made the seasons of the earth. In every autumn, there are endings and beginnings. There is the end of vacations, and the beginning of school. Cool green leaves fall from their branches, and become dappled yellows, bright oranges, and deep reds. Help me, when things end that I wish had continued, to see that in you, there are no real endings. In you, there are only changes, and new beginnings. Give me the grace to know, that even death itself is not the end, but only a change from one beautiful thing into another. Amen.

Spiritual Life

St. Stephen Parish warmly welcomes the following individuals and families who recently joined our community of faith:

World Mission Sunday On the weekend of October 21/22, we will celebrate World Mission Sunday. This year the need is especially great because of the hurricane in Puerto Rico. Our financial and spiritual support is needed by the Church to help the mission dioceses in Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands and parts of Latin America and Europe where priests, religious and lay leaders serve some of the poorest of the poor. Please keep missions in your prayers.

As a parish we will no longer have an actual second collection for this need, but as a parish we will send a contribution based on previous years’ contributions. So we ask you to increase your regular donations which become part of our parish’s donation to the World Mission Sunday Collection and other eliminated second contributions.

The work of the World Missions of the Church is important and they are grateful for our financial help.

St. Stephen Parish 500 Club Last year’s Parish 500 Club raffle was such a success that we are doing it again!
