Wellstreams—Living Waters for the Journey in Faith

By Sister Lauretta Leipzig

PERSISTENCE IN PRAYER

2 Saint Anne Church • May 1, 2016 • stannebarrington.org

If God knows all things, desires to give us good things

and hears us the first time we pray, then why does God

ask us to persist in prayer?

There is a story about a snail that started to climb a cherry

tree one cold, windy day in late spring. The sparrows on

a neighboring tree had a good laugh at his expense. Then

one flew over and said, “Hey, don’t you know there are

no cherries on this tree?” The little snail did not stop as

he replied, “Well, there will be when I get there.”

Continuing his climb, the snail knew that his persistence

would pay off in the end!

You are probably familiar with the gospel of Luke, chap-

ter 18, where Jesus tells a parable that was traditionally

called the Parable of the Importunate Widow.

Importunate is a word meaning ‘persistent in making a

request’ even to the point of becoming something of a

bother. And that would describe very appropriately the

widow portrayed in this parable. She was unwavering in

seeking justice from an unjust judge. Today, the parable

is known as the Parable of Persistent Prayer.

Our persistence in prayer must be like the helpless

widow who just won’t quit. She won’t be put off. After

repeated pleas for justice, the hard-hearted judge finally

gives in and grants her request so he can be rid of her.

Jesus tells his disciples that if a selfish judge will relent in

the face of persistence, how much more will ‘God grant

justice to those who cry to God day and night.’ God,

however, is nothing like that unjust judge—God is

generous, abounding in mercy and eager to bring justice.

Early Christian communities were suffering persecution.

They were praying, waiting for Jesus’ return, waiting for

the great day when justice, mercy and kindness would

prevail on earth and everything broken would be

mended and healed. That day never seemed to arrive.

But Jesus told them, “Pray always and do not lose heart.”

We, too, often feel that we’re not being heard,

overwhelmed by the darkness of the world or of things

happening in our individual lives. We can feel

discouraged, disappointed or just plain depleted.

Persistence is what we need at a time like this—

persistence in faith and in prayer. This persistence brings

us closer to God; it means that we keep showing up, keep

making ourselves available for an encounter, keep

sharing what is truly on our minds and in our hearts.

Persistent prayer is about relationship with God. It is one

thing to hear someone tell you over and over that God

loves you and is always with you. But it is quite another

thing to discover that truth for ourselves, to come to that

knowledge in the very depths of our being. A second

reason for persistence is that prayer changes us. Prayer is

not like mechanically firing off a series of faxes as if we

can pray and, at the same time, stay at a safe distance

from God. Prayer makes us vulnerable, makes us real.

Did you ever think that persistence is for our sake, not

God’s? If we always get exactly what we want the first

time we ask, we would inevitably begin to treat God as

our ‘genie,’ only summoned forth to give us our heart’s

desires. But that is precisely what prayer calls into

question: What do we really want—something or some-

one? Do we want God’s will? Do we want God even

more than we want what we are asking for? So,

persistence both deepens our relationship with God and

compels the heart to examine what it really wants and

needs most.

Henri Nouwen, the great spiritual model, captured the

idea beautifully when he wrote, “You must be patient …

until your hands are completely open to God’s will.”

Perhaps God desires to give us exactly what we have

asked for but only in a time and way that the gift can

truly benefit us. Often when we attain what we need, we

depart and no longer pray so God protects us with the

pretext of need that we may concern ourselves with him

more closely. Saint John Chrysostom wrote: “I prayed for

many things and was not heard.” But he continued to

pray. The apostle Paul prayed that a painful situation

would be removed. When God didn’t answer his prayer

as he had asked, Paul changed how he was praying. He

prayed that God would help him to rely on God’s grace,

strength and power which was made perfect in his

weakness.

God uses persistence in prayer to mold, even transform,

our desires to change how we pray and even what we are

praying for so that we gradually come to pray closer to

the heart of God’s will. The whole Bible is the story of

God’s relentless pursuit of a relationship with his people.

So, we live in the confidence that God won’t give us NO

for an answer! His answer perhaps is not what we want,

when we want it or even how we want it but God’s

answer will come in a way that we truly long for in the

depths of our soul.

God will never give up on us so we don’t give up either!

God WILL answer our prayers!

LITURGY CORNER—Edited by Rory Cooney BODIES AT PRAYER—PART 1—INTRODUCTION “That they may be one, Father, as you are in me, and I am in you,

that they may be one in us, that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

That was part of Jesus’ great priestly prayer at the Last Supper. Being one takes practice. If we start by

thinking of ‘being one’ or ‘acting as one’ as taking part in a flag team or synchronized swimming, though,

we might get the idea that unity means uniformity, strict conformance to a particular set of finely tuned

movements. But is God’s unity really like that? God’s unity is relational; it is the unity of three persons who

are one. God’s unity suggests movement, accommodation, relationship. Anyone who has ever been in a

relationship of love knows that ‘being one’ takes practice. Most of us don’t just fall into unity for the long

haul; we work at it. We make a decision, when we realize that things aren’t going to be magical and just fall

into place, that we want to be one. We choose to make a habit of accommodation and love.

God is love, and love is service. The habit of ‘acting as one’ comes from choosing to serve the other person,

no matter what. That’s what God does because God is love. Acting as one is a habit; we practice it in our

daily lives by being together in a way that consciously tries to serve the needs of others.

Our movement in the liturgy is much like this. Sometimes we stand; sometimes we sit; sometimes we kneel

or walk or sing. We practice doing things together for the good of everyone, not because they are things we

necessarily feel like doing but because we are rehearsing or practicing being one. When our bodies join our

minds and will to pray together, we submit to the good of everyone and practice being one. And our bodies

learn to follow our mind and will. Like people who make decisions to do the loving thing even when we

don’t feel like it, we choose unity over individualism because that is the prayer and will of Christ.

Over the next few Sundays, I hope to touch on specific areas of our bodies at liturgical prayer. I’ll say a little

about why we stand, sit, kneel, process, enter into dialogue, sing, be silent, make the sign of the cross, bow

and give a kiss or handshake of peace. And probably more.

Have a question for the Liturgy Corner? Email Rory at [email protected]. Over the weeks

and months, I’ll get to as many questions as I can.

FIRST EUCHARIST RETREAT

In preparation for First Eucharist, our children and their parents participated

in a day of retreat this past weekend.

Parents and children worked together to

design and create the traditional banners

that will hang on each family’s pew.

The transformation of plain pieces of felt into

beautiful, personal statements reflecting the

relationship of the individual and the sacrament was

remarkable.


FIRST EUCHARIST RETREAT

The children were given an opportunity to

practice reception of the host and wine.

Predictably, the wine wasn’t a favorite!

Families participated in a scavenger hunt for items

used during liturgy. The learned the names of

various items worn by the priests and used in the

preparation of the gifts.

All shared in story on the Our Father, learning

line by line the meaning and intentions of this

beautiful prayer that Jesus gave us.

Families shared in hospitality and all enjoyed a

wonderful day!



SAINT ANNE PARISH SCHOOL NEWS


AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS CONTINUE TO GROW

The Fashion and Sewing Club is new to Saint Anne Parish School this trimester. This club teaches children

a skill of a lifetime—sewing. Students learn how to pick and combine fabrics for projects as well as cutting

out patterns, sewing by hand and machine sewing. The students have made pillows, hair bows and

shoulder purses. They are now working on making shorts which they can wear this summer. This club is

perfect for the fashionistas at Saint Anne Parish School.

Also new this year is the Polish Club

facilitated by Father Chris. The students

have learned to greet their friends in Polish,

tasted some delicious Polish food and are

becoming familiar with customs and

traditions. They are learning about the land

that Father Chris calls home. Pictured here

are their handmade palms.



JAMES ALISON SPEAKS AT SAINT ANNE!

On Thursday, April 21st, James Alison, author of Je sus, the

Forgiving Victim, shared his thoughts and insights on the Prodigal

Son with a group of over 50 people as a capstone to our 30

session Jesus, the Forgiving Victim series which had been

facilitated by Rory Cooney.

James compared parables to a Swedish puzzle; to truly understand it, it must be dismantled and

reassembled. Deconstructing the parable of the Prodigal Son line by line, he provided historical context,

pointed out the many references and similarities to stories from the Old Testament and offered us a fresh

perspective on this scripture. All participants were engaged by his convivial manner and his keen insights

into a very familiar story.

Thank you to Rory Cooney

for his work facilitating the series

and for arranging James Alison’s visit!

OPENING A NEW DOOR

AT ST. MARTIN DE PORRES

Residents at St. Martin de Porres House of

Hope are stepping through a new front door!

The Saint Anne Sharing Board provided

specific funding to the director, Sister Therese O’Sullivan, to

purchase this bright new entryway to replace the one that sustained

damage from the fire at the church next door. This provides the

security that is very necessary in their neighborhood, and the bright

red entry is a happy welcome to all of the women who arrive

looking for hope. The Saint Anne Sharing Board is proud to

support this women’s shelter on Chicago’s south side.

Rejoice! When we reflect on all that God gives us every day, we certainly have good reason to rejoice.

Considering the glass-half-full analogy, how we see our lives is often a matter of our own choosing. If we choose to, we can find much to rejoice about in each day.

Oftentimes, joy can be found in looking back through the day, seeing how events unfolded and that God was there with us to support us along the way.

If we make a point of looking for the blessings in life each day and celebrating them, we will most certainly have reason to rejoice!



Great bargains on gear for the beach, backyard BBQs, parades and playtime. From t-shirts to totes, sandals to sunglasses,

we’ve got you covered for the summer season. Stop in and see what’s new!

BLOOD DRIVE—NEXT SUNDAY, MAY 8TH This is the time of the year when new life is springing up all around us. It’s a

blessing to feel a part of it, but not everyone shares this good feeling. Some of our

friends and neighbors are in serious medical need, and they need the help that

only we can give them. If you have the blessing of good health, share it. We can

multiply what we have been given by sharing our blessings with the members of

our community who are now in need.

Next Sunday, May 8th, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., in the school cafeteria, Saint

Anne will sponsor our spring blood drive. PLEASE plan to donate.

Our last blood drive was very successful. We saw many new donors, and over 100 critically ill patients

were helped. That’s the spirit of Saint Anne! As our community ages, we require more complex medical

procedures so the need for blood increases. There is no substitute for blood. Without our help, local

shortages would be inevitable. We need your help.

If you haven’t donated before, it’s easy. Bring your driver’s license. You must be at least 17 years old and

weigh at least 110 pounds. Most medications such as blood pressure medicine or aspirin will not cause

disqualification. The entire process takes about 40 minutes from start to finish, and the blood collection

itself takes 15 minutes or less.

This will only take a little time next Sunday, May 8th, so please become someone’s hero and discover the

particular joy of giving blood. Blood is truly the gift of life. For more information, contact Bob Powers at

[email protected].

By Clem Aseron Sharing the Living Story

As it often happens, the psalm refrain is a key to the integration among the readings of the day:

O God, let all the nations praise you!

In his book, the Acts of the Apostles, Luke continues on from his Gospel to write his story to his Jesus

community about the early church and its struggles to maintain its integrity; in this pericope1, he describes

the very divisive struggle between gentile converts and Jewish converts. The Jewish converts from

Jerusalem insisted that the gentiles, who were culturally far removed from the practices of the Jews,

should nevertheless be required, as essential to salvation, to observe all the ancient laws of Moses,

particularly circumcision, the sign of the ancient covenant. Leaders of the gentiles, Paul and Barnabas,

take their concerns from Antioch all the way back to the mother church in Jerusalem for arbitration. This

pericope omits the description of the extended debate at vv. 3-21 and speaks only of the end result. The

Jerusalem church sends two of its own members, Silas and Judas, to accompany Paul and Barnabas back to

Antioch to authenticate the link between Jerusalem and the distant Antioch. They are to say definitively

that gentiles are not required to be circumcised nor are they to observe Mosaic Law except for whatever

provisions that the whole Jerusalem church—together with the holy Spirit (v. 28)—deems necessary (v.29).

Luke is careful to emphasize that it is the Spirit who guides the whole church and therefore, harmony and

accord is the result.

Psalm 67 is the sole Hebrew scripture pericope today. Its refrain, O God, let all the nations praise you and its

verses point to an inclusive God who embraces those outside the Chosen People; look at whom the

Psalmist names at vv. 5 and 6: May the nations be glad and exult because you rule the peoples in equity;

the nations on the earth you guide. May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you! Recall that

the plural, nations or peoples, refers to those who are not of The Chosen, who are not of the tribes of Israel.

The last book of the bible, the Book of Revelation, is written in symbolic and veiled language about the

heavenly world and the final judgment. Today’s pericope shows the very intimate connection of the Jews

to their scriptures as it describes the Church as the heavenly city of God. In the New Jerusalem, the new

city of God, the Father and the Lamb are overwhelmingly present; there is no need for a physical Temple.

The gathered body of believers, the Church, is the new temple (vv. 22-23). Recall that the risen Lord is

present in the smallest of gatherings (Mt. 18:20) as well as when the entire church (Mt. 28:20b) is gathered.

First Reading: Acts of the Apostles 15:1-2, 22-29

Responsorial Psalm: 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8. RX = O God, let all the nations praise you!

Second Reading: Revelation 21:10-14, 22-23

Gospel: John 14:23-29

Please refer to (A) and (B) above when I cite verses in the commentary below.


Sharing the Living Story

In the risen Lord is where God and humans meet. At Rev 21:22, the temple is the Lord God Almighty and

the Lamb.

The pericope from John is part of the Last Discourse of Jesus to the disciples before he leaves them. Earlier

in this chapter, at 15-17, Jesus had said that if one loved him and kept his commandments, the Father

would send another Advocate to dwell with them forever. In a second promise, at 18-21, he reminded

them he would leave them but would return and would dwell in them as they would in him, and this was

possible because the Father was in him. This intimacy is graphic in today’s passage at v.23: Whoever loves

me will keep my word, and my Father will love him and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him; this

indwelling is the Lord God almighty and the Lamb—the very same as at Rev 21:22! This is the farewell

gift of peace: the indwelling in the people of the Father and the Son. This is the teaching that the Holy

Spirit will bring to the ones left behind (v.26) when Jesus leaves.

O God, let all the nations praise you!

So What?

It is a very comforting image in our hearts to think of the Father and the Christ

making a home within us and staying there …

and of our being made secure by the constant teaching and promptings of the Holy Spirit.

Imagine it … it is a kind of peace that the world cannot give!

How do we reflect, how do we pray, as we read the opening of John’s v.23:

Whoever loves me will keep my word …

followed by the opening of v.24:

Whoever does not love me does not keep my words … ?

1 Biblical passage chosen to reflect the liturgical sense of that day of the liturgical year being celebrated.

The pericope may be modified: e.g., today, only the Gospel pericope has continuous verses;

the other three have discontinuous verses.

Ensuring PEACE ~ Ending Domestic Violence

6 WARNING SIGNS INDICATING AN ABUSIVE

AND/OR UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP:

SEXIST ATTITUDE: Does your partner insist that “women

should know their place?”

INSULTS: Does your partner put you down for your opinions

or laugh at what you believe in? Does he/she make you feel

stupid, ignorant or incompetent?

PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE: Does your partner make comments

such as, “You’re no good?” Does he/she make you feel unable

to do anything right or that you can’t get along in the world

without his/her help?

RIDICULE: Does your partner make fun of you alone or in

other people’s presence?

BLAMING OTHERS: Does your partner blame others for what

he/she does or what happens to him/her?

EXCESSIVELY CRITICAL OF YOU OR YOUR FAMILY: Does

your partner say negative things about you or your family?

If you answered YES to one or more of these questions, you or

someone you know may be a victim of domestic violence.

PLEASE CALL:

Sacraments We believe that the celebration of the sacraments

ranks among the most important gifts that we have.

We look forward to sharing these celebrations with

those who, in some way, are part of our community.

Therefore, please note the following:

Visitation of the Sick: If you or a family member are in a local

hospital or are homebound and would like a visit from a

minister of care or a priest, call Mary Hoffing at 847.382.2148.

Baptism: Our Baptism ministry is pleased to help your

family prepare for the special event of your child’s entrance

into our faith community.

Two Baptism sessions are required for parents baptizing

their 1st child

Parents who have had a Baptism at another Catholic

Church and are now wanting to baptize a child at Saint

Anne will be asked to speak to a staff member before

scheduling Baptism

Parents who have already attended Baptism preparation at

Saint Anne will be asked to speak to a staff member before

scheduling Baptism

Information for setting a Baptism date will be given at the

meeting or at the time of the interview. Call the parish office at

847.382.5300.

Marriage: To be married at Saint Anne, the preparation

process should begin 7 months to one year prior to the

wedding date. Please call the parish office to secure a date as

soon as possible. Membership at Saint Anne is not a

requirement. We look forward to helping you during this time

of preparation for the vocation of Christian marriage.

First Eucharist and First Reconciliation: These sacraments are

typically celebrated in second grade. Candidates must be

registered parishioners and complete the two-year preparation

program. For more information, call the Faith Formation and

Education office at 847.620.3067.

Confirmation: This sacrament is celebrated in high school.

Candidates must be registered parishioners and complete the

two-year preparation program. For more information, call the

PATHS office at 847.620.3072.

Reconciliation: Saturdays, 9:15 a.m. until all are heard or by

appointment.

Adult Christian Initiation: If you are looking for a place to

belong or a church community to share questions and beliefs,

perhaps you would like to find out more about what it means

to be a Catholic Christian. Saint Anne would be delighted and

honored to share the gift of faith and fellowship with you.

Call Michael Beard at 847.620.3070 for information regarding

the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults).

Registration: To enter into our faith community, please

attend an information/registration session at 9:30 a.m. in the

Hospitality Room, followed by the 11:00 a.m. Mass on the 1st

Sunday of the month, except on holiday weekends when

there are no sessions. For further information, call the parish

office at 847.382.5300.
