God provides each of us with many gifts. We have a responsibility not only to recognize these gifts but also to nurture them. As we contemplate his gifts to us, we should also reflect on our gratitude for these gifts. Your financial support for the work of the parish, our Archdiocese and the Church throughout the world is, in fact, one way to express this gratitude. Please give generously to the 2015 Annual Catholic Appeal. If you have received the mailing from Archbishop Cupich, please respond as generously as you are able CHURCH IN LATIN AMERICA COLLECTION TODAY This week, we take up the Collection for the Church in Latin America.

Welcome to you! January 18, 2015 Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Page Three BUILDING ON 100 YEARS OF CARING AND SHARING “For What Are You Searching?” As we read the story today of the two disciples following Jesus, we hear a rather significant question directed to them by Jesus. “Who and what are you looking for?” In reply the disciples ask, “Where do you stay?” Jesus answers, “Come and you will see.” This was quite a surprise response for the disciples. God has different ways of entering people’s lives and, no doubt, each of us could name a few such instances. On any journey or direction in life, it is important to ask what we are seeking and what it is that we desire to find. The direction in which life takes us needs to be rooted in our search for a genuine relationship with Jesus. In order than this can happen, we need to have a sense of purpose in life that will help us stay on the right track. It’s important to realize that we are not “lone rangers” on this journey. Others—family, friends, this faith community to which we belong, the persons living in our neighborhood—all are companions on our way to God. I think Jesus had this in mind when he invited John’s disciples to join him. They became part of the community of apostles who followed Jesus as he continued fulfilling his ministry here on earth. We may ask, what might this journey of the first disciples have looked like as they left home and followed Jesus? In comparison to our time, they left little behind regarding material possessions. But also they left family and friends behind and that was a great sacrifice. Whatever it was from which the first disciples moved away, Jesus’ invitation to follow his call had a generous and willing response from them. The beginning of a new year is a good time to ask the question: What does my journey toward God look like? Can it change a bit, be different? Jesus offers us a direction as we seek to move on our way toward God. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. His teachings are clear. We can draw on his wisdom and determine whether we are looking for him or whether we are gratifying false desires that lead us in the opposite direction. We may want to have more than someone else possesses, buy something bigger or better, rather than creating a balance in our lives. At the start of a new year, it might be well to consider who the persons are to whom we say a kind word or give assistance when a particular need arises. Jesus, in that person may be asking us, “Who or what are you looking for?” Maybe the goal to have a home that is exceedingly large doesn’t allow us to connect with others because there is so much space we can’t find one another. Being in touch with people is crucial on our journey to God. It is a way of strengthening our relationship with God who is present in our family members, in our neighbors and co-workers, evening in the person at the checkout counter when we go shopping. Since we are beginning this New Year of 2015, I invite you to spend a few minutes this week allowing Jesus to speak to you. He may say, “What are you looking for?” Let your answer come from the depths of your heart with all honesty and sincerity. Allow Jesus’ wisdom to direct you on the journey of this new year. Monsignor Jim Kaczorowski TAKE PART IN CCHD DURING POVERTY AWARENESS MONTH What can our impoverished brothers and sisters in Christ teach us? Pope Francis tells us, “When we are generous in welcoming people and sharing something with them—some food, a place in our homes, our time—not only do we no longer remain poor: we are enriched.” Further he explains that, “true riches consist not in material things, but in the heart!” In remembering that true riches lie in our hearts, we can reflect on how we can help those living on the margins. At the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) we fund organizations that enrich our community by working for affordable housing, decent education and more in order to construct a just Chicago. Are you enriched? You can help empower low-income persons during Poverty Awareness Month by taking part in the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD). To learn more about CCHD, meet the grantees, hear their stories, participate in the CCHD Youth Art Contest and more, visit chicagopeaceandjustice.org/poverty. LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR... Do you know your neighbors? How are they faring in the cold weather? If you know of someone elderly, or someone who lives alone, check on them... because it’s the neighborly—and Gospel— thing to do. It’s great to stand across a fencepost and chat when it’s warm but colder weather forces more people indoors. Maybe the senior citizen next door needs milk or bread. Maybe the widower across the alley needs someone to mail his bills so he’s on time. It only takes a minute but can mean so much. Do you see newspapers piling up at the front door? Ring the doorbell to check on the individual. Many of us take for granted that someone else in the house will help if we are injured or suddenly incapacitated. If someone lives alone and slips on the stairs, who will help? Be a good neighbor: ring a doorbell, make a phone call, reach out to help. Page Four Second Sunday in Ordinary Time HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS Human trafficking is a $150-billion industry. Conservative estimates of the number of people trafficked into forced labor and prostitution affect 21 million people — primarily women and children—annually. The essence of human trafficking is in its force, fraud and/or coercion of vulnerability and desperation of the poor, refugees and migrants, women and children. Trafficking is one of the most horrific results of economic and social disparities that increase the vulnerability of millions of people. Such inequality allows many within our societies to be considered mere disposable commodity. Talk with family, friends and others about human trafficking. Encourage one another to learn more. Pray for everyone who is trapped in a situation of slavery, that God will help to liberate them from their chains. Pray for perpetrators of slavery, that they repent of their evil ways and turn to God for forgiveness. For more information go to catholicsandimmigrants.org/wp-content/uploads/ NMW-Petitions.

January 18, 2015 SOCIETY OF ST.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Old customs fade slowly, and in 1560 the Council of Trent tried for significant change in pastoral care of the sick. People resisted, thinking that the last breath was the right time for the sacrament. Although physical improvement was often noted after anointing, it was seen as a kind of bonus, rather than an expected outcome of a prayer for good health, strength, patience, and even healing. More than four hundred years later, many people still do not ask for anointing until it is literally too late for the person to have reasonable hope of healing, or at least be aware enough to participate in the ritual. By then, it may even be too late for viaticum, the true “last rite.” We have a treasure in our tradition that we seem reluctant to use. We visit the sick, we anoint those who are in the first crisis of illness, we give Communion to those who are dying, and we keep vigil and pray for those close to death. When anointing is celebrated early enough, optimally when the sick person is still at Sunday Mass, it can be a source of courage, faith, and hope for a difficult road ahead. When we anoint our sick, we remind them that they belong to Christ and a community of faith. We bring them into the presence of Christ to reconcile, heal, and give strength and hope. We resist forces that isolate and alienate the sick; the symbol of touch is a powerful act of acceptance. Why wait until the crisis of illness is dire before we apply such a rich remedy to body and soul? —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Page Five MES DE LA CONCIENCIACIÓN SOBRE LA POBREZA ¿Qué pueden nuestros hermanos y hermanas empobrecidos en Cristo enseñarnos? El Papa nos dice: “Cuando somos generosos en dar la bienvenida a las personas y compartir algo con ellos, algo de comida, un lugar en nuestros hogares, nuestro tiempo, no sólo ya no permanecen pobres: nos enriquecemos.” Además, explica que, “la verdadera riqueza no consiste en cosas materiales, sino en el corazón!” Al recordar que la verdadera riqueza reside en nuestros corazones, podemos reflexionar sobre cómo podemos ayudar a los que viven en los márgenes. En la Campaña Católica para el Desarrollo Humano (CCHD) financiamos organizaciones que enriquecen nuestra comunidad, trabajando para la vivienda asequible, educación decente, y más con el fin de construir una sociedad justa. ¿Está enriquecido? Usted puede ayudar a empoderar a las personas de bajos ingresos durante el Mes de Concientización de la pobreza mediante la participación en la Campaña Católica para el Desarrollo Humano (CCHD.

Page Six Second Sunday in Ordinary Time January 18, 2015 CONSTRUYENDO EN 100 AÑOS DE COMPARTIR Y CUIDAR “¿Que Estás Buscando?” Al leer la historia de hoy de los dos discípulos siguiendo a Jesús, escuchamos una pregunta muy significativa dirigida a ellos por Jesús. “¿A quién y que están ustedes buscando?” En respuesta los discípulos preguntan, “¿Dónde te estas quedando?” Jesús responde, “Vengan y lo verán.” Esta fue una respuesta bastante sorprendente para los discípulos. Dios tiene diferentes maneras de entrar a las vidas de las personas y sin duda cada uno de nosotros podríamos mencionar algunas instancias como esas. En cualquier jornada o dirección en la vida, es importante preguntar que estamos buscando y que es lo que deseamos encontrar. La dirección en la cual la vida nos lleva necesita estar enraizada en nuestra búsqueda de una genuina relación con Jesús. Para que eso pueda suceder, necesitamos tener un sentido de propósito en la vida que nos ayudará a mantenernos en el camino correcto. Es importante darse cuenta que no somos “llaneros solitarios” en esta jornada. Otros – familia, amigos, esta comunidad de fe a la cual pertenecemos, las personas que viven en nuestro vecindario – todos son acompañantes en nuestro camino a Dios. Pienso que Jesús tenía esto en mente cuando invitó a los discípulos de Juan a unírsele. Ellos se volvieron parte de la comunidad de apóstoles que seguían a Jesús mientras el continuaba llevando a cabo su ministerio aquí en la tierra. Podemos preguntar, ¿Cómo se habrá visto esta jornada de los primeros discípulos mientras que ellos dejaban su hogar y seguían a Jesús? En comparación a nuestro tiempo, ellos dejaron atrás muy poco referente a posesiones materiales. Pero también ellos dejaron a su familia y amigos y eso fue un gran sacrificio. Lo que haya sido que los discípulos dejaron atrás, la invitación de Jesús a seguir su llamado tuvo una respuesta generosa y dispuesta de ellos. El principio de un nuevo año es un buen tiempo para preguntar: ¿Cómo se ve mi jornada hacia Dios? ¿Puede cambiar un poco, ser diferente? Jesús nos ofrece una dirección mientras buscamos seguir adelante en nuestro camino hacia Dios. Jesús es el camino, la verdad y la vida. Sus enseñanzas son claras. Nosotros podemos sacar de su sabiduría y determinar si es que lo estamos buscando a él o si estamos gratificando falsos deseos que nos llevan en la dirección opuesta. Podemos querer tener más de lo que alguien más posee, comprar algo más grande o mejor, en vez de estar creando un balance en nuestras vidas. Al empezar un nuevo año, sería bueno considerar quienes son las personas a quienes les decimos una palabra amable o les damos asistencia cuando una necesidad particular se ofrece. Jesús, en esa persona, puede estarnos preguntando, “¿A quién y que están ustedes buscando?” Quizás la meta de tener un hogar que es excesivamente grande no nos permite conectarnos con otros porque hay tanto espacio que no podemos encontrarnos unos a otros. Estar en contacto con la gente es crucial en nuestra jornada hacia Dios. Es una forma de fortalecer nuestra relación con Dios quien está presente en los miembros de nuestra familia, nuestros vecinos y compañeros de trabajo, aun en la persona que está atendiendo la caja cuando vamos de compras. Como estamos empezando este Nuevo Año 2015, les invito a pasar unos minutos esta semana permitiendo a Jesús que les hable. Él puede decir “¿Que estás buscando?” Dejen que su respuesta venga de las profundidades de su corazón con toda honestidad y sinceridad. Permitan que la sabiduría de Jesús los dirija en la jornada de este nuevo año. Monseñor Jim Kaczorowski COLECTA PARA LA IGLESIA EN AMÉRICA LATINA Hoy realizaremos la Colecta para la Iglesia en América Latina.
