D
ear Friends in Sacred Heart:
Jesus is the reason for the season!
This is my first Christmas letter as the Administrator of Sacred Heart Parish.
Christmas is time for decorations, lights, Christmas trees, gifts, fun and more! Maybe
it could be just a moment in our world to calm down and forget a little bit about wars,
discrimination, injustice, and pain among us. But let’s think a little bit about this, what is
the reason to decorate our houses with lights, with Christmas trees, with red, silver and
gold ribbons? As far as I know these are happy sights, and they must be a reflection of what we celebrate!
This time is not only a tradition… this is how we show our happiness and rejoice because Jesus is our reason
for rejoicing!
We need to be witnesses of how we celebrate our faith, not as a simple act, but understanding the “why we
do, and what we do”.
Jesus comes to make our life different. He brings with Himself hope for us, guidance and protection.
Sometimes I wonder what is the purpose to celebrate His birth, when we don’t really care about what He
brings to our life? When we gather together at home to celebrate the Prince of Peace, and we have problems,
misunderstandings and conflicts at home, are we really celebrating a new life in Christ?
I know we are busy doing many things every day; do not let these things make your eyes blind. Do not
lock the door of your heart. Try to offer everything you do to God. Be more kind, understanding or peaceful
this Christmas, only you know what you have to improve. Remember that we can improve anything when we
just practice, and practice makes perfection.
Remember Christmas is a very special family time, enjoy your time with them and show them how much
you care for them.
I invite you to participate with us at our Christmas Eve Family Mass at 5 pm on Dec. 24th. Or if you prefer
you may join us at 10 pm Mass the same day, we will be singing Christmas carols before Mass.
On Christmas Day, Dec 25th, we will have Mass at 9 and
11 am in English and 12:30 pm in Spanish. Let’s worship to
the Lord together with happiness and joy!
Remember, we need your help and your support to our parish, please be generous with your Christmas envelope and if
you haven’t participated in our Fall Drive there still is time to
do so.
Thank you so much for your prayers and support. May the
baby boy Jesus fill your life with harmony and peace.
Merry Christmas to all of you!

YEAR END TAX TIME COMING SOON… CONSIDER THIS…
LEAVING A LEGACY FROM RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
At present, donors cannot make direct gifts to the Church from their IRA accounts; as of this printing, that law has not been renewed for 2014. However, it
can still make sense to use an IRA distribution for charitable giving.
Although your distribution would be considered taxable income, making a direct gift of these funds to the
Church for the benefit of our parish would allow you a charitable tax deduction, helping to offset the taxes
owed.
Of course, you can still donate your IRA assets to the Church by directing that the account assets - either
completely or partially - come to us at death. IRA assets can be very highly taxed when left to loved ones.
The planned giving office of the Archdiocese of Chicago is happy to answer any questions you might have;
contact Patti Condon in the Office of Stewardship and Development at 312-534-7911 and she will be happy to
assist you.
ADORATION OF THE
BLESSED SACRAMENT
Friday, January 2nd
12:00 – 7:00pm with Benediction at 7pm
When we go before the Blessed Sacrament, let us open our
heart; our good God will open His. We shall go to Him; He
will come to us; the one to ask, the other to receive. It will be
like a breath from one to the other.”
-St. John Vianney

Lord, thank you so much for all that you have done for
me, my friends, and my family. Your hand on our lives is
so much more than we could ask for, and your blessings
are so greatly appreciated. I know, Lord, that you have
seen our challenges, wept at our weaknesses, and rejoiced in our successes.
As you know, we are now coming up on a new year.
You know I have made resolutions to change the areas
of my life that need it, and I ask for your strength to make
those changes. I ask for your continued blessings and
guidance to make me more like you, to walk better in your path, this year.
I also ask, Lord, for your continued blessings on those around me. I ask that this
year be one of peace and joy for my family and friends. I ask that you continue to be a
presence in our lives. I ask that you give each of us a heart for you and a desire to
serve to make the world a better place. I also ask for peace and blessings on those far
from home, for those who suffer, and for those who need you a little more each day.
Thank you, Lord, for all you do in my life and for your continued blessings and love.
In your name,
Amen.

Q ueridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo:
Jesús es la razón de la estación!
Navidad es el tiempo para decorar, luces, árboles de navidad, regalos, diversión y más! Talvez
sea solo un momento en nuestro mundo para tranquilizarnos y olvidar un poco todo sobre las guerras, discriminación, injusticia y dolor entre nosotros. Pero, pensemos un poco acerca de esto, cual
es la razón para decorar nuestras casas con luces, árboles de navidad y listones de color rojo, plateado o dorado? Hasta donde yo entiendo todo eso es signo de felicidad y deben de ser el reflejo
de lo que celebramos! Este tiempo no es solo una tradición, es el tener la oportunidad de mostrar la felicidad y el regocijo porque Jesús es nuestra razón de nuestra felicidad!
Necesitamos ser testigos de cómo celebramos nuestra fe, no como un simple acto, sino entendiendo el “por qué hacemos lo que hacemos”.
Jesús viene a hacer diferente nuestra vida. El trae consigo esperanza, guía y protección. Algunas ocasiones me pregunto cuál es el propósito de celebrar su nacimiento, cuando realmente no nos importa lo que El trae a nuestra vida?
Cuando nos reunimos en casa y celebramos al Príncipe de la Paz y seguimos teniendo problemas, malos entendidos y
conflictos en casa. Estamos realmente celebrando una vida nueva en Cristo?
Sé que estamos muy ocupados con muchas cosas todos los días; no dejen que estas cosas los dejen ciegos. No cierren la puerta de su corazón, y traten de ofrecer todo lo que hacen a Dios. Sean más amables, comprensivos y pacíficos
esta Navidad, solo ustedes conocen lo que tienen que mejorar. Recuerden solo se mejora por medio de la práctica, y la
práctica nos hace perfectos.
Tengan siempre presente que Navidad es un tiempo especial para convivir en familia, disfruten su tiempo juntos y
demuestren lo mucho que les importa y se preocupan por cada uno de sus miembros.
Les invito a participar con nosotros en nuestra Misa Familiar de Navidad a las 5 pm el 24 de Diciembre; o si lo prefieren venir a la misa de las 10 pm ese mismo día, estaremos cantando villancicos antes de la misa.
El 25 de Diciembre tendremos misa a las 9 y 11 am en Inglés y a las
12:30 pm en español. ¡Adoremos al Señor juntos con felicidad y alegría!
No se les olvide que necesitamos de su ayuda y apoyo en nuestra parroquia, por favor sean generosos con nuestra parroquia al traer su sobre de
Navidad y si no han participado de nuestra colecta de Otoño aún es tiempo
de hacerlo.
Mil gracias por sus oraciones y ayuda. Que el pequeño niño Jesús llene
sus vidas de armonía y paz.
Feliz Navidad a todos!
