JOIN THIS COMMUNITY OF FAITH...IT’S YOUR HOME! It is my pleasure as pastor to see the young families (and hear the little ones) during Mass. While some may find it disruptive, it serves as a reminder to all of us that the life of the Church continues, constantly changing, constantly blooming from “cradle to grave.” One day those little ones will be in classrooms, and their parents will be volunteering in the school. And so it goes. Life goes on. Young families are finding a place to call home at Queen of Angels. This was most recently evident at the Winter Toast where many of the attendees were parents of our preschool children. These little ones started school together and it is my hope that many will end their school days at Queen of Angels together. So, too, will their parents “grow” at the school and parish, learning more about our community of faith by becoming part of our family. I ask your help in enabling the life of the Church to continue, in sharing the fun and responsibilities that affect all families. I encourage all individuals and families to register and to look at Give Central. Give Central makes it possible to contribute on a regular basis—whether or not you are at church. There is no need to carry checks or cash to church. It makes it possible for the parish to budget. Our society is very fluid and people often travel on weekends to see family or friends. Donations through Give Central make it possible for the ongoing work of Queen of Angels to continue no matter what. Donations to Give Central have proven a very popular way to support the financial needs of the church. Please commit to the community of faith where you are welcomed, loved, accepted, challenged. Please register as members and also sign up for Give Central. For more information on Give Central, call Tom Madden at 773-539-7510. Queen of Angels is here for you, please be present for our parish.

Monsignor Jim Kaczorowski

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Within the tradition of the Christian church, there are differing ways of observing a Lenten fast. For Eastern Catholics and Orthodox, the discipline is close to our understanding of “abstinence.” Certain foods are eliminated from the diet entirely. The rules are basically monastic rules, and the customs of a monastery table are embraced in the home. This year, “Meatfare Sunday” is February 15, and it is the last time that meat is admitted to the diet until Easter. The following Sunday, known as “Cheesefare Sunday,” takes cheese and all dairy products from the table. It is also known as “forgiveness Sunday” because a true fast is about crowning life with love, holding back harsh words, and cutting off anger. The Eastern churches fast even from celebrating the Eucharist from Monday through Friday. We don’t count Sundays as fast days, but Eastern Christians fast through the weekends. People are expected to come as close to the ideal as possible, and the Lenten services keep reminding them not to take pride in their fasting, since the devil himself never eats! What’s left on the menu? Grains, vegetables, eggs (maybe), and fish. Imagine the joys of the Easter table after such a fast! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION FRIDAYS Queen of Angels offers Eucharistic Adoration in order to deepen our life of prayer. Exposition is from 9 to 10 a.m. in the adoration chapel each Friday after weekday Mass. At least two adorers must be present.

Driving more than 7,000 miles from Los Angeles to New York over the course of 30 days, the documentary spotlights 17 positive and powerful women leaders across a variety of lifestyles and industries. After the film, a panel discussion of female leaders will take place at 8 p.m. Regina Dominican is located at 701 Locust Road in Wilmette. For more info, contact Jodi McLawhorn at jmclawhorn@rdhs.org.

LISTEN AND FOLLOW “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” And listen they did. From that moment on, Peter, James, and John were ardent followers, forsaking everything to follow in their Master’s footsteps. Like the psalmist crying, “O Lord, I am your servant,” the three disciples committed themselves to lives of incredible hardship and indescribable joy. After that day on the mountain, they never again wavered in their chosen vocation. Though our tests may not be as severe as Abraham’s and our peak experiences not as dramatic as the Transfiguration, we all face the daily challenges of walking “before the Lord in the land of the living.” As we follow our varied calls to love and serve, let’s be comforted by Paul’s reminder to the Romans: “If God is for us, who can be against us?”

WELCOME TO SPRED: A prized experience of Communion with Children and Adults with Special Needs

Last Sunday, February 22, many families of this parish gathered for the 9:30 Mass. They were graced with the opportunity to share an experience of a beautiful ritual of inclusion and communion with the SPRED communities of Queen of Angels Parish. The pace was a little slower to honor the tempo of our Friends with special needs. Interpretive movement enhanced the Liturgy of the Word to bring new insight to its meaning. Simple, prayerful movements of the SPRED catechists and their partners graced the singing of the Psalm. The ritual of table setting and the presentation of gifts were choreographed to highlight the richness of the ritual and honor the contribution of our Friends with disabilities. Refreshments and hospitality were offered to all after the Mass. Many people stopped by to express their gratitude for this prayerful experience of Liturgy. Come and see what is behind all of this! Come and visit the SPRED center in the Parish Office building (above the gym and Lower Voss) at 4412 N. Western. If you like what you experience as you share Mass with us, then come and find out how you can have more. We welcome you; we invite you to join one of our SPRED communities and we offer you a wonderful and unique way to deepen your own prayer life … to find the more that we all are longing for. Come and be happy with us! Come and taste a little more of SPRED. It just may be the perfect fit for you! For further information or to schedule a time to observe a session, visit www.queenofangelsspred.org or call 773-539-3634. —Julia Hess, SPRED Community Religious Worker

DESCANSE EN JESÚS ¿Qué dirían ustedes a Jesús si estuviera justo enfrente de ustedes? Díganlo en Adoración Eucarística. Dios es real y está presente. Dios está completamente presente en el Santísimo Sacramento. Reina de los Ángeles ofrece Adoración Eucarística para que podamos de la “fuente y cumbre” de nuestra fe.

ESTACIONES DE LA CRUZ Únase a nosotros a las 7:30 p.m. los viernes durante la cuaresma para compartir las Estaciones de la Cruz (Viacrucis) en español, comenzando este Viernes, 20 de Febrero. Las Estaciones de la Cruz en ingles empiezan primero a las 6:30 p.m. Esta meditación a través de la oración permite a los participantes sentirse parte de la multitud reunida durante las últimas horas de la vida de Jesús. Concéntrese en las oraciones, estudio de las Estaciones y sienta el aislamiento y soledad de Cristo durante este tiempo doloroso y ultimadamente triunfante. Muchos católicos que atendieron las Estaciones de la Cruz en su niñez recuerdan que repetidamente tenían que arrodillarse y levantarse durante la meditación. Haga una resolución de cuaresma el experimentar las Estaciones de la Cruz como un adulto. Comparta las Estaciones como familia y hágalo un tema de discusión cuando se reúnan a la mesa para cenar. Ayude a sus niños – o deje que ellos lo ayuden a usted – a experimentar la gracia y paz que viene de sentirse en el momento en las Estaciones de la Cruz.

¿QUE ES ‘LOSS’?

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Cuando Jesús se transfiguró sobre la cima de un monte, Pedro, reconociendo que algo sagrado ocurría en ese lugar quiso construir tres chozas. Como si buscara hacer un santuario, un lugar santo, donde Dios se manifestara de manera particular. El santuario puede ser el lugar entero o sólo parte de un edificio. En nuestras iglesias, el santuario es el presbiterio donde se encuentra el altar mayor, donde son consagrados el pan y el vino. iglesias antiguas como las Basílicas romanas tienen un segundo santuario que es la capilla donde se reserva el Santísimo Sacramento en el tabernáculo o sagrario. Los santuarios más importantes de la cristiandad se encuentran en Palestina. Europa tiene varios santuarios como la tumba de Santiago en Compostela, España. Algunos santuarios famosos de América son los de Guadalupe (México), Teresa de los Andes (Chile), Señor de los Milagros (Perú), Cristo Negro de Esquipulas (Guatemala), Montserrat (Colombia) y el de la Divina Misericordia (Chicago). Todo santuario es un lugar donde se une el recuerdo y la vivencia contemporánea de la fe, son lugares donde la Iglesia institucional y la religión popular conviven y se enriquecen mutuamente.
