OFFICE OF THE ARCHBISHOP
Easter 2015
Dear brothers and sisters in the Risen Lord,
With our celebration of Easter, we proclaim “Christ is risen,” and call each other and the world to renew
our hope. That call to hope is actually a very daring invitation. So much of what we experience in the world
points us in another direction—most often, to sad resignation.
Worldwide armed conflict, lethal gang violence in our neighborhoods, families trapped in poverty, immigrants uncertain about their future, young people robbed of a future because of drugs and poor education, and
the most vulnerable among us—the unborn, the chronically ill, the secretly abused, the elderly, the dying—
who have become in the words of Pope Francis “disposable”—all this suggests a dim future.
Who are we, then, to proclaim hope? How do we dare to say that there is a reason for hope? Our response
is simple, and our conviction is firm. We have come to know Jesus, the Risen One.
We have come to know Jesus in his word and in his sacraments. We have known him in each other, in the
faces of those whom we love and in the faces of the poor and marginalized. Our knowledge of him has
brought us before his cross on which he destroyed sin and death. Our knowledge of him has brought us to
stand before him as the Risen One who breathes the new life of the Spirit into those who believe in him.
We dare to hope, because the eternal Word of God dared to take our flesh and passed through death to new
and glorious life. He opened the way for us to embrace eternal life. And so we dare to hope and, even more,
dare to share that hope with a wounded struggling world.
Pray for me as I pray for you that our faith and confidence in the Risen Christ will bless this world with the
renewed hope that it desperately needs.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Blase J. Cupich

On behalf of Archbishop Cupich and the many beneficiaries of the Appeal, please accept our gratitude for the support
of the people of Sacred Heart in Melrose Park. Your final rebate representing funds raised in excess of your 2014 parish goal ($15,720.90) is $406.10.
We extend our appreciation to your parishioners at Sacred Heart—Melrose Park, not only for their extraordinary support of this important annual campaign, but also for their live of faith.

BABY BOTTLE PROJECT
Beginning on April 19th, our Women’s
Club will be hosting The Baby Bottle Project benefitting The Women’s Centers of
Greater Chicagoland. This non-profit organization directly assists mothers and families experiencing crisis pregnancies by offering emotional, financial, material, and
spiritual support through counseling, clothing & monetary
provisions, prayer, and other aid. Each year the three locations together have over 5,000 appointments with expecting mothers. By God’s grace, The Women’s Centers
have saved over 36,000 babies, and their mothers, from
abortion since opening in 1984.
Please take a Baby Bottle home with you from the
church, next weekend, April 18/19, fill it with your spare
change, and return it the weekend of May 9/10.
This is a simple, but crucial fundraising effort for The
Women’s Centers. Please note the Baby Bottles cost almost $1.00 per bottle and are recycled afterwards so
please return upon completion of the project. Thank you
for helping defend life and remember to keep all pro-life
undertakings in your prayers.

OFICINA DEL ARZOBISPO
Pascua 2015
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en el Señor Resucitado:
Con nuestra celebración de la Pascua proclamamos "Cristo ha resucitado" y hacemos un llamado, a nosotros y al mundo, a renovar nuestra esperanza. En realidad, ese llamado a la esperanza es una invitación muy atrevida. Gran parte de lo
que experimentamos en el mundo nos lleva a una dirección distinta, la mayoría de las veces, hacia una triste resignación.
Los conflictos armados en todo el mundo, la violencia mortal que ejercen las pandillas en nuestros barrios, las familias
atrapadas en la pobreza, la incertidumbre que experimentan los inmigrantes sobre su futuro, el robo que sufren los
jóvenes de su futuro a causa de las drogas y la mala educación, y los más vulnerables entre nosotros, los no nacidos, los
enfermos crónicos, los que son abusados en secreto, los ancianos, los moribundos, quienes de acuerdo a las palabras del
Papa Francisco se han convertido en “desechables” —sugieren, en conjunto, un futuro oscuro.
Entonces ¿quiénes somos nosotros para proclamar esperanza? ¿Cómo nos atrevemos a decir que hay una razón para la
esperanza? Nuestra respuesta es sencilla y nuestra convicción es firme. Hemos llegado a conocer a Jesús, el Resucitado.
Lo hemos llegado a conocer a través de su palabra y sus sacramentos. Lo hemos llegado a conocer en unos y otros, en
los rostros de aquellos a quienes amamos y en los rostros de los pobres y los marginados. El conocimiento que tenemos
de Él nos ha traído ante su cruz, sobre la que destruyó al pecado y a la muerte. El conocimiento que de él tenemos, nos
ha traído ante su presencia, como el Resucitado, quien infunde la vida nueva del Espíritu en aquellos que creen en Él.
Nos atrevemos a tener esperanza, porque la Palabra eterna de Dios se atrevió a hacerse de nuestra carne y por medio
de la muerte, llegar a una vida nueva y gloriosa. Él abrió el camino para que abracemos la vida eterna. Por lo tanto, nos
atrevemos a tener esperanza y, más aún, nos atrevemos a compartir esa esperanza con un mundo lastimado y en dificultades.
Hermanos y hermanas, oren por mí como oro yo por ustedes, porque nuestra fe y confianza en Cristo resucitado bendigan a este mundo con la esperanza renovada que tan desesperadamente necesita.
Sinceramente suyo en Cristo:
