May 8, 2016 The Ascension of the Lord

Mother’s Day

Welcome to St. Joseph Church,

7240 W. 57th St., Summit, Illinois 60501-1324

Holy Mary, Mother of God

Have you ever looked at the sun? Yes, I know it’s not a good idea to stare at the sun. Apart from watching a sunrise or sunset, looking directly at the sun can cause damage our eyesight. However, whenever I’m outside on a sunny day, working in the garden or around the flowers, I will lift up my head towards our glowing orb of light that is warming my skin. Sometimes, I will look up at the sun from our boat when I am fishing with my brother in Wisconsin. Sunshine is not so good for fishing. Yes, it’s very pleasant to be out on the water, on a calm lake, when the sun is shining, but it’s not too helpful if you want to catch fish. So, in the lull between casts, I will glance up at the dazzling sun

every once and a while. The image of the sun glowing brightly in the

sky came to mind as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of our Lord this Sunday. The sun shines very brightly and intensely, high in the clear, blue sky. Nothing can compare to its glow, radiance, and glory. In comparison to the sun, everything else is flat, dark, and dim. If the sun glowing in the sky is so bright, imagine what God looks like? How bright would God be if we were able to see Him in His divine glory? This was the grace that the Blessed Mother and the Apostles were given on the Ascension. On the feast of the Ascension, Jesus leaves earth and ascends back to God the Father in heaven. Imagine what that scene looked like?

The American born painter Benjamin West wonderfully paints what this scene may have looked like in his painting The Ascension (1801). Jesus, ascending up to heaven, shines gloriously and brightly, high in the sky. Dazzling, bright light surrounds Christ and illumines the sky around him. The dazzling brightness of Christ is in stark contrast to everything else. Yes, the angels are illumined, but they are not as intense and bright as Jesus. The humans below Christ (the Blessed Mother, Apostles, and faithful women) are even dimmer than everyone else. The people on the bottom live in shadow compared to the glory of heaven. For a moment, the people living in darkness here below have seen the glory of heaven opened to their sight. For a moment, they see Jesus, truly as He is, the Son of God, like the bright sun, returning back to heaven, shining in all His glorious divinity. Nothing can compare to Christ’s radiance and glory. In comparison to the Son of God, everything else is flat, dark, and dim.

Like the people in lower half of Benjamin West’s image, we live in a place of shadow and death. Christ ascending into heaven in all his glory proclaims to the world that His work is done. Christ now reigns supreme over the earth, sin, and death! The earth can be a dark and gloomy place, but the Ascension of Christ fills us all with light and hope. St. John Chrysostom teaches, “observe that the Lord submits to our sight the promised

rewards. He had promised the resurrection of the body; He rose from the dead. It is also promised that we shall be caught up in the clouds through air; this also He made manifest by His works.” Happy Mother’s Day to all moms! Congratulations to all the students from our parish school and religious education program who received their First Holy Communion this Saturday, May 7. Please pray for all mothers today, living and deceased. During this Marian month of May, please pray the Litany of Mary everyday. May our Blessed Mother Mary help us with her maternal care and St. Joseph pray for us. Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!

Informes Padre Bob

¿Alguna vez haz mirado el sol? Sí, ya lo sé, no es buena idea mirar fijamente al sol. Aparte de ver un amanecer o un atardecer, el mirar directamente al sol puede dañar nuestra vista. Sin embargo, cuando me encuentro afuera, al aire libre en un día soleado, ya sea trabajando en el jardín o alrededor de las flo-res, alzo mi vista hacia ese resplandeciente astro de luz que calienta mi piel. A veces, dirijo mi mira-da hacia el sol cuando estoy en nuestro barco, pescando con mi hermano en Wisconsin. El sol no no es muy conveniente para la pesca. Sí, es muy agradable estar fuera en el agua, el lago tranquilo y el sol bri-llando,… pero no es muy útil si lo que deseas es capturar peces. Así que, en el tranquilo silencio entre los moldes, de vez en cuando, alzo los ojos y miro hacia el sol deslumbrante. Esa imagen del sol brillando en el cielo me vino a la mente ahora que celebramos la Solemnidad de la Ascensión del Señor este domingo. El sol resplandeciente, brillante e intenso, alto en el cielo claro

y azul. Nada puede compararse a su brillo, su luminosidad, y gloria. En comparación con el sol, todo lo demás es plano, os-curo y tenue. Si el sol en el cielo es tan brillante, imagínese cómo es Dios? ¿Qué tan brillante sería Dios si fuéramos ca-paces de verlo en su gloria divina? Esta fue la gracia que la Virgen y los Apóstoles recibieron en la Ascensión. En la fiesta de la Ascensión, Jesús deja la tierra y asciende de nue-vo a Dios Padre en el cielo. ¿Imagínese como seria la esce-na? El pintor estadounidense, Benjamín West, ilustra ma-ravillosamente lo que pudo haber sido esta escena, en su pin-tura La Ascensión (1801). Jesús, ascendiendo al cielo, res-plandeciendo glorioso y brillante en lo alto del cielo. Luz deslumbrante y brillante rodea a Cristo e ilumina el cielo a su alrededor. El brillo deslumbrante de Cristo marca un fuerte contraste con todo lo demás. Sí, los ángeles están ilumina-dos, pero no son tan intensos y brillantes como Jesús. Los seres humanos por debajo de Cristo (Nuestra Santa Madre , los Apóstoles y las mujeres fieles) son aún más tenue que todos los demás. La gente en el fondo viven en la sombra en comparación con la gloria del cielo. Y por un momento, las personas que viven en la oscuridad aquí abajo llegan a ver la gloria del cielo abierto frente a ellos. Y por un momento, ven a Jesús, verdaderamente como quien es, como el Hijo de Dios, como el sol brillante, regresando de nuevo al cielo, brillando en toda su gloriosa divinidad. Nada puede compa-rarse a la luminosidad y la gloria de Cristo. En comparación con el Hijo de Dios, todo lo demás es plana, oscuro y tenue. Al igual que las personas en la mitad inferior de la imagen de Benjamín West, vivimos en un lugar de sombra y muerte. Cristo ascendiendo al cielo en toda su gloria, procla-ma al mundo que su trabajo está hecho. Cristo ahora reina sobre la tierra, sobre el pecado y la muerte! La tierra puede ser un lugar oscuro y sombrío, pero la ascensión de Cristo nos llena de luz y de esperanza. San Juan Crisóstomo os en-seña, "observe que el Señor se somete a nuestra vista las re-compensas prometidas. Había prometido la resurrección del

cuerpo; Se levantó de entre los muertos. También se promete que seremos arre-batados en las nubes a través del aire; esto también Él se manifiesta por medio de sus obras. Un muy feliz Día de las Madres a todas las mamas! Felicidades a todos los estudiantes de nuestra escuela parroquial y el programa de educación religiosa que recibieron su Primera Comunión este sábado, 7 de mayo. Por favor, oren por todas las madres hoy, vivas y difuntas. Durante este mes Mariano de mayo, por favor, oren la letanía de María todos los días. Que nuestra Santa Madre María nos ayude con su cui-dado maternal y San José ruega por nosotros. ¡Vivat Jesus, Viva Jesus!

Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza Nie jest to zbyt rozsądne, ale czy kiedykolwiek patrzyliście prosto w Słońce? Oczywiście, podziwianie wschodów i zachodów Słońca jest niegroźne, ale już patrzenie wprost na naszą dzienną gwiazdę może uszkodzić wzrok. Niejednokrotnie w czasie pracy w ogrodzie (lub wędkując z bratem na jeziorze w Wisconsin) zdarza mi się spojrzeć na Słońce. Dobrze jest być na jeziorze w słoneczny, spokojny dzień. Światło słoneczne wszakże bardzo przeszkadza w łowieniu ryb. Dzisiejsza Uroczystość Wniebowstąpienia Pańskiego kojarzy mi się właśnie ze Słońcem święcącym na niebie. Nic nie może się równać z intensywnością oraz chwałą słonecznego blasku. Wszystko inne wydaje się płaskie i niewyraźne. Jeżeli Słońce jest tak

wspaniałe, pomyślcie tylko, jak może wyglądać Bóg? Jakże jaśniałby Pan, gdybyśmy mogli ujrzeć Go w całej Jego chwale! Taką właśnie łaskę otrzymała Maryja i Apostołowie w dniu Wniebowstąpienia. Wówczas Jezus opuszcza naszą ziemską przestrzeń i powraca do Boga Ojca w Niebie. Spróbujmy sobie wyobrazić ten moment… Malarz Benjamin West próbował to przelać na płótno w obrazie zatytułowanym: „Wniebowstąpienie” z 1801 roku. Chrystus tutaj cały promienieje olśniewającym światłem, które rozjaśnia niebo. Stanowi to jaskrawe przeciwieństwo reszty dzieła. Aniołowie są tu oświetleni, lecz nie tak jasno jak Pan. Osoby stojące poniżej Mesjasza (Matka Boża, Apostołowie i wierne kobiety) odmalowane są w jeszcze ciemniejszych barwach niż pozostali. W porównaniu z chwałą niebios, ludzie na dole zamieszkują świat mroku i cieni. Przez chwilę, ludzie ci zobaczyli całą chwałę Boga. Przez chwilę, widzą oni Jezusa takim, jakim naprawdę jest – Synem Bożym, powracającym do Ojca. jasnym jak Słońce, w całej niebieskiej chwale. Wszystko tu na ziemi blednie w porównaniu z blaskiem Chrystusowej chwały. Podobnie jak postacie z dolnej części obrazu Benjamina Westa, my także żyjemy obecnie w świecie mroku oraz śmierci. Jezus wstępuje do nieba, ogłaszając tym samym koniec Swej ziemskiej posługi. Chrystus ma teraz władzę nad całą ziemią, nad samą śmiercią i grzechem! Ziemia może być zimnym i przerażającym miejscem, ale Wniebowstąpienie daje nam nadzieje. Święty Jan Chryzostom naucza, iż Pan dozwolił nam ujrzeć przyobiecane nagrody. Powstał z

martwych, gdyż obiecał nam ciała zmartwychwstanie. Obiecano nam wzięcie do nieba, czego również On sam już dokonał. Wszystkim Matko serdecznie życzę: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Pamiętajmy w modlitwie o wszystkich matkach: żyjących i zmarłych. Gratulujemy wszystkim naszym uczniom, którzy wczoraj (w sobotę, 7 maja) przystąpili do swojej I Komunii Świętej. Miesiąc maj tradycyjnie poświęcony jest Maryi. Zachęcam więc wszystkich wiernych do codziennego odmawiania litanii. Święta Maryjo Rozwiązująca Węzły, miej nas zawsze w Swej opiece. Święty Józefie, Dobry Patronie, módl się za nami. Vivat Iesus! Chwała Jezusowi!
