From the Desk of Fr. John Del Escritorio de Padre Juan
Recently a lady asked me if we go to visit hospitals. I, of course, told her that we do visit the hospitals. There are some issues about hospital visitation that need to be addressed from time to time.
The first important issue is that hospitals do not tell parishes if a parishioner is in the hospital.
Many years ago, hospitals, especially Catholic hospitals, notified the parish if a parishioner was in
the hospital. That is no longer the case. Due to privacy laws (often referred to as HIPPA laws) no
hospital can tell anyone about the medical information of a patient. Therefore, they no longer
inform us if a person is in the hospital. What then can be done? If someone wants a visit from the
parish, please call the parish directly to request a visit. Also, if you want a visit from me, call me
directly. I remember when a lady told me, “Father, why didn’t you visit me in the hospital?” I did not
know she was in the hospital because no one called me to inform me. I won’t know you are there if you don’t call
me and tell me, giving me the hospital and room information and the correct name of the patient. I and the
Ministers of Care are happy to visit, just let us know, so we can visit in a timely manner. Thanks.
Just a few months ago, Pope Francis wrote an encyclical letter called, Laudato Si, which calls us to take better care
of our planet. He says that our planet is becoming an “immense pile of filth,” which is some very strong language.
We have so focused on technology and ourselves that we have damaged our planet. I am going to give a
presentation on the letter and then we can have some discussion afterwards. The event will take place in English
on Wednesday, Sept. 9 in the Hospitality Room, beginning at 7:00pm. The event will take place in Spanish on
Sept. 16 in the Worship Space, beginning at 7:00pm. I hope you are able to make it. I think this is a very important
topic that concerns us all. Please read the document before you come. You may go to www.vatican.va to read the
document without cost in either English or Spanish.
Please mark your calendars for the Parish Life Conference on Saturday, October 17 at St. Francis de Sales parish
in Lake Zurich, IL. This event is for all parish ministers who want a renewal/retreat day for their ministry. Talks will
be offered in English, Spanish and Polish. More information is to come.
Recientemente una señora me pregunto si vamos a los hospitales a visitar enfermos. Yo, por supuesto le dije que
visitamos hospitales. Hay algunas cosas acerca de visitas a hospitales de las que se tienen que hablar de vez en
cuando. El primer punto de importancia es que los hospitales no le dicen a las parroquias si algún feligres esta
internado en el hospital. Hace muchos años, los hospitales, especialmente los hospitales Católicos, nos notificaban si algún feligres había sido admitido en el hospital. Ese ya no es el caso. Debido a leyes privadas (frecuentemente referidas como ley HIPPA) los hospitales ya no pueden compartir información médica de pacientes. A consecuencia, ya no nos informan si alguna persona esta en el hospital. Entonces, ¿que podemos hacer? Si alguien
desea que alguien de la iglesia los visite, favor de llamar a la oficina parroquial directamente y solicitar esa visita.
Tambien, si desean que yo los visite personalmente, me pueden llamar directamente. Recuerdo cuando una señora me dijo, “Padre, porque no me visito en el hospital?” No sabía que estaba en el hospital, porque nadie me
aviso. No puedo saber si estan en el hospital, si no me avisan, dándome el nombre del hospital y el nombre correcto del paciente. Tanto a mí, como a los Ministros de Cuidado, nos da gusto visitarlos, solo háganlo saber y los
podemos visitar. Gracias.
Hace unos meses, el Papa Francisco escribió una carta encíclica llamada, Laudato Si, la cual nos invita a cuidar
mejor de nuestro planeta. El dice que nuestro planeta se esta convirtiendo en una “gran montaña de basura,” palabras fuertes. Nos hemos enfocado tanto en la tecnología y nosotros mismos que hemos dañado a nuestro planeta. Daré una presentación de la carta y después habra una oportunidad de charlar acerca del tema. Este evento
se llevará en inglés el miércoles, 9 de septiembre en el Salón de Hospitalidad a las 7:00 p.m. y en español el 16
de septiembre en la Iglesia a las 7:00 p.m. tambien. Espero que nos puedan acompañar. Creo que este es un
tema de suma importancia que nos incumbe a todos. Por favor lean el documento antes de asistir a esta reunión.
Pueden visitar www.vatican.va para leer este documento, ya sea en inglés o español sin costo alguno.
Favor de marcar sus calendarios para la Conferencia de Vida Parroquial el sábado, 17 de octubre en la Iglesia de
St. Francis de Sales en Lake Zurich, IL. Este evento es paratodos los ministros parroquiales que deseen un día de
retiro de renovación para su ministerio. Estas pláticas se ofrecerán en inglés, español y polaco.
Proporcionaremos más información en un futuro.

Hoja de Cantos para la Misa de 12:00 p.m
Canto de Entrada: Vienen con Alegría
Canto de Comunión: Como Busca la Cierva
Vienen con alegría, Señor, cantando
vienen con alegría, Señor,
Los que caminan por la vida, Señor,
sembrando tu paz y amor. (bis)
Como busca la cierva las Fuentes de aguas,
así mi alma te busca a tí, Dios mío.
3
Mi alma tiene sed, sed del Dios vivo,
¿cuándo veré el rostro de Dios?
Vienen trayendo la esperanza a un mundo cargado de ansiedad,
A un mundo que busca y que no alcanza
caminos de amor y de amistad.
Envía tu verdad, que ella me guíe, y que tu luz me lleve hacia tí.
Espera en el Señor eternamente; El te guiará por sendas de paz.
Vienen trayendo entre sus manos
esfuerzos de hermanos por la paz,
Deseos de un mundo más humano
que nacen del bien y la verdad.

Tú, Jesús, eres mi amigo, mi alegría y mi ansiedad;
Dame, Señor, la luz que busco, quiero caminar sin dudar.
Canto de las Ofrendas: Abre Mis Ojos
A comer tu pan nos acercamos; fuerza nos dará para vivir.
Eres Tú, Señor, el pan de vida que nos da consuelo y paz en
el sufrir.
Abre mis ojos, que quiero ver como tú.
Abre mis ojos, ayúdame a ver.
Abre mis oídos, que quiero oír como tú.
Abre mis oídos, ayúdame a oír.
Abre mi corazón, que quiero amar como tú.
Abre mi corazón, ayúdame a amar.
El que sufre y el cansado, el que busca la verdad,
El que quiere el bien y no lo logra, busca el amor y la paz.
Tú, camino y esperanza de quien ama al caminar,
Si no siembra, no habrá fruto: el trigo al morir vida da.

Songs for the 5:00 p.m., 8:00 a.m., and 10:00 a.m., Masses
Gathering Song Let Us Go to the Altar of God
Let us go to the altar of God,
the God of our gladness and joy!
Let us enter the courts of the house of the Lord
and sing to the glory of God.
Give praise with blast of trumpet,
with noble sound of the horn.
With the clash of the clanging cymbal, give glory to the Lord!
Give praise with lyre and timbrel,
with lute and sound of the harp.
With the dance of the flute and oboe, give glory to the Lord!

Psalm Response:
Bless the Lord, my soul, who heals the
broken-hearted.
For all my life I will sing to you, O ever faithful God. You fill the
heavens with wondrous lights, the earth sings out your glory.
Put not your trust in those who rule, the mighty of this earth.
Their breath shall fail, their power die, their plans shall fade and
vanish. You give your sight to all the blind, you raise up those
bent low. Your heart is near to the broken ones, you welcome in
the stranger.

Presentation Song: Open My Eyes
Open my eyes, Lord. Help me to see your face.
Open my eyes, Lord. Help me to see.
Open my ears, Lord. Help me to hear your voice.
Open my ears, Lord. Help me to hear.
Open my heart, Lord. Help me to love like you
Open my heart, Lord. Help me to love.
I live within you. Deep in your heart, O Love.
I live within you. Rest now in me.

Communion Song:The Cry of the Poor
The Lord hears the cry of the poor. Blessed be the Lord.
I will bless the Lord at all times, with praise ever in my mouth.
Let my soul glory in the Lord, who will hear the cry of the poor.
.
Let the lowly hear and be glad: the Lord listens to their pleas;
And to hearts broken God is near,
who will hear the cry of the poor.
Ev’ry spirit crushed God will save;
will be ransom for their lives;
Will be safe shelter for their fears,
and will hear the cry of the poor.
We proclaim your greatness, O God,
your praise ever in our mouth;
Ev’ry face brightened in your light,
for you hear the cry of the poor.

Closing Song: Walk in the Reign
Close as tomorrow the sun shall appear.
Freedom is coming and healing is near.
And I shall be with you in laughter and pain
To stand in the wind and walk in the reign,
To walk in the reign.
In days to come the desert shall bloom,
Rivers will run there, soon, very soon.
So what shall we fear, though death do its worst?
The word of our God is the last shall be first,
The last shall be first.
Comfort each other, for pain soon must end.
A day comes when lion and lamb shall be friends.
The sightless shall see then, the speechless sing songs.
The name of our God is the righter of wrongs,
The righter of wrongs.

Usher/Greeter General Meeting
Eucharistic Minister Meeting
Monday, September 21, 2015 @ 7:00 PM ‐ 8:30 PM
Hospitality Room & Kitchen
Thursday, September 10 * 7:00 PM ‐ 8:30 PM
Worship Space & Kitchen
“I was a stranger
and you welcomed me.”
(Matthew 25:35)
Hospitality meant something important to Jesus.
It was more than common custom.
Hospitality showed respect for the visitor/guest.
It demonstrated the humility of the host as well.
A general meeting is being called to gather all current
ushers/greeters and anyone who “helps out” during the
mass, but we’re also looking for new people who would
like to join this very important ministry!
If you would like more information, please contact
Rosi Viquez at the parish office 847‐882‐7580 or
[email protected]
Many of you attended a special Liturgical Gathering
with Fr. John in August of 2014, and many suggestions
were brought forward that we have implemented.
Some Ministers of Communion were unable to attend
that meeting, so we are asking that you please come to
this meeting to review those changes that will help to
unify the procedures especially due to the Mass
schedule change. Newly certified Eucharistic Ministers
are urged to attend as well since you are being added
to the new schedule (Sept.‐ Nov.)…Thank you!

There are some changes to our Craft Bazaar this year. In the past, we have sold items from the Craft Bazaar on a
second weekend in October. We will not be doing that this year. October 3rd and 4th will be your only chance
to purchase the beautiful items we have made. Also, we will not be mailing out letters to everyone with
information on the Craft Bazaar. All announcements will be in the Sunday Bulletins. We are still asking the
wonderful women in our parish to bake items for our bake sale. More information on bringing the baked goods
will be in future bulletins. We hope to see you at the Holiday Craft Bazaar!

St Teresa of Avila, 1515-1582, born 500 years ago, was a prominent Spanish mystic,
Carmelite nun, and theologian of contemplative prayer. She was a reformer of the

Outreach Opción Misionera
23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
"He took him off by himself away from the crowd. He put his fin‐
ger into the man's ears and, spitting, touched his tongue." Jesus
could have healed this deaf man another way. He could have
spoken a powerful word or, for that matter, just silently willed
that the man's health be restored. It wasn't uncommon for Jesus
to cure people simply by a quick touch. But instead, Jesus chose
to heal him in this unique way. He made it a private event, one
that involved an unusual kind of physical ritual.
Clearly, this was not for Jesus' sake. And since it was away from the crowd, it wasn't for their sake either. This
particular healing was for this particular man. For whatever reason, Jesus knew that this man needed these signs‐‐
touching his ears and putting saliva on his tongue‐‐in order to be freed of his inability to hear and speak well.
Jesus knows what we need. His care for each and every one of us is not some standardized package of generic
charity. He loves us all as unique individuals and understands us. He sees our weaknesses and knows our strengths.
He offers himself to us as an intimate friend, not an unfamiliar acquaintance. When we come to him with our hopes,
our fears, our desires and needs, he hears and answers us ... in the way he knows is best. It might seem odd. It might
be unexpected or different from what we have seen him do for others. But we need to trust, even when we are
desperate for "healing," that Jesus does care, that he does listen, and that he does act on our behalf.
Let us have confidence in today's Old Testament proclamation from Isaiah: "Thus says the LORD: Say to those whose
hearts are frightened: Be strong, fear not! Here is your God ... he comes to save you."
