TIME IS RUNNING OUT

As soon as we began this ordinary time of the liturgical year the Church presents us with Mass readings filled with important topics. We hear today the Apostle Paul admonishing the faithful in Corinth and reminding them that time is running out. It is also a reminder to us to never forget that the world we live in is temporary, that people are vulnerable, and God is eternal. There is just one eternal reality within us: our immortal soul. Therefore, much more important than anxiously guarding one's own life, it is more important to guard one's eternal life — one's immortal soul. Jesus' disciples felt that Jesus could give them just that - the eternity of the soul - and they left everything and followed him. It led them all to exile, to slavery, many of them to death. Still, they knew whom they were following. One who - as the time is running out - always remains the same, omnipotent, and eternal.

DID YOU GET YOUR ENVELOPES?

Up until now you should have all recei-ved your offertory envelopes for January and February in the mail. Some of the envelopes came back to us because address was not corr-ect. Please let us know if you did not get your offertory enveloves yet so we can fix it. If you changed your address let us know. Thank you for your continous and generous support! JESTE LI DOBILI KUVERTE? Kuverte za vašu nedjeljnu milostinju morali ste dosada dobiti u pošti. Nekoliko kuverti se vratilo jer su adrese bile pogrešne. Molimo vas da nam javite sve promjene u adresama kako bismo mogli urediti da kuverte dobijete na vrijeme i da sve na njima bude ispravno. Hvala za vašu ljubav i potporu našoj župi.

PROLAZI OBLIČJE OVOGA SVIJETA

Tek što smo započeli ovo obično liturgijsko vrijeme, vrijeme kroz godinu, Crkva pred nas stavlja misna čitanja ispunjena važnim temama. Čujemo danas tako apostola Pavla koji opominje vjerne u Korintu i podsjeća ih da prolazi obličje ovoga svijeta. Podsjetnik je to i nama da nikada ne smetnemo s uma da je svijet i sve u svijetu prolazno, da je čovjek ranjiv, a Bog vječan. Jedino vječno u nama - po daru Božjemu - je naša besmrtna duša. Zato, puno važnije od tjeskobnoga čuvanja vlastitoga života ovdje na zemlji, važnije je čuvati svoj vječni život - svoju besmrtnu dušu. Isusovi učenici osjetili su da im Isus može darovati upravo to - vječnost duše - te ostavili sve i pošli za njim. Odvelo ih je to sve do jednoga u progonstvo, u ropstvo, mnoge od njih i u smrt. Ipak, znali su koga slijede. Onoga koji - dok obličje svijeta prolazi i nestaje - ostaje uvijek isti, svemoguć, neprolazan i vječan.

MLADIFEST CHICAGO 4.-6. lipnja, 2021

Gospodine, svi te traže (Mk 1, 37)

Mladifest - Susret Hrvatske Katol-ičke Mladeži u Sjevernoj Americi trebao je bi održan u našoj župi u lipnju prošle godine, ali kao i sve drugo i ovaj lijepi događaj morao je bi odgođen.

Mladifest će tako bi održan u našoj župi u lipnju ove godine - 4.

-6. lipnja. Još uvijek nismo sigurni koliko mladih će moći doći, osobito hoće li moći doći mladi iz Kanade. Ipak, odlučili smo održa ovaj susret, makar to zna-čilo da će moći sudjelova samo mladi iz Kanade. Očekujemo tako da će mladi hrvatski katolici iz Milwaukee-a, New Yorka, Clevelanda, St. Louisa, Californije, Arizone i drugih mjesta doći na ovaj susret. Zato će nam treba vaša pomoć. Kroz mjesec veljaču naši će mladi stupi u kontakt sa svima koji su se obvezali pomoći na različite načine za prošlo-godišnji Mladifest, osobito sa onima koji su planirali bi domaćini mladima. Ukoliko se nešto promijenilo, samo to kažite našim mladima kad vas nazovu. Razumijemo da je ova godina drugačija. Od srca hvala svima koji su dosada pomogli organizaciju Mladifesta i onima koji će to učini ubuduće.
