Saint Joseph Parish, November 2018—October 2019

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Trial, or distress, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword?

For I am certain that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor powers, neither height nor depth nor any other creature, will be able to separate us from the love of God that comes to us in Christ Jesus, our Lord. -Romans 8

“OPEN THE GATES OF PARADISE TO YOUR SERVANT…”

Those words come from one of the Final Commendations in the Rite of Christian Funerals. Preparing for and celebrating the final journey for a loved one can be both confusing and heart-wrenching for the family of one who has gone home to the Lord, and there is often lit-tle time to prepare as much as one might like. We want everything to be just right. Sometimes, we want to say everything we may never have had a chance to say in life to the one we love. We may want that favorite song or poem or the time to tell the stories of a wonderful life. And in that difficult mix of grieving and planning, it can be so easy to lose sight of what it is we Catholic Christians really are called to do as we gather in prayer for the Funeral Mass. That’s where the Church steps in to guide us. As we begin this month of saints and souls, it seems a good time to look at what is appropriate—or not—for the funeral of a loved one.

A number of years ago, the Archdiocese of Chicago, after many months of discussion and consultation, prepared guidelines to be followed by all parishes of the archdiocese in preparing a Funeral Mass. But just a few weeks ago, we were presented with updated guidelines—really regulations—that take effect immediately. The archdiocesan-wide norms aim to ensure that Funeral Masses in all parishes remain faithful to Catholic tradition and universal liturgi-cal norms.

Probably the two most significant elements of the original instruc-tion concern music and eulogies. Again, none of this is new for the universal Church, but it might seem new to some. Regarding music, the instruction reaffirms that only liturgical music may be used at the funeral mass, and goes on to say that “music or songs that are not liturgical or are otherwise inappropriate for the Funeral Mass can be included at various times outside the funeral rites, for exam-ple during the wake or after the committal service at the cemetery.” I’ve celebrated a number of funerals where families have made use of this option, playing a CD or having a favorite song sung at the wake or the cemetery.

The original archdiocesan instruction was also very clear on eulo-gies, but the new norms are even clearer. Technically, there is no such thing as a “eulogy” at a Catholic funeral, but rather “words of remembrance.” These words should focus on the faith life of the deceased, how they lived that faith, and how they shared it with others. The reason for this limitation is really very simple: “the lit-urgy speaks of the mystery of Christ’s death and resurrection, which gives the deepest meaning to the life of the deceased.”

A Catholic funeral is not what some call a celebration of a person’s life in this world, but rather a celebration of their entry into eternal life. Anything that moves the Funeral Mass away from that central mys-tery is simply inappropriate. Here is the official text of those new norms that are to be followed when planning a loved one’s funeral:

Eulogies and Personal Remembrances are more appropriate during the Evening Vigil at the funeral home or at the reception following the funeral. Experience shows that sharing personal remarks at the Funeral Mass can be inopportune for a number of reasons. It can cre-ate hard feelings if hurtful things of the past are raised or create dis-comfort in ill-advised attempts at humor. There are also concerns in view of past experiences that eulogies can overshadow in length and attention the Funeral Mass itself, especially if those offering words turn the Church’s rites into a celebration of life that focuses only on the accomplishments of the deceased’s past, with scant attention to our faith in the resurrection. With that said, in a desire to be pas-torally sensitive to the family of the deceased, the following norm regarding words of remembrance has been established after consul-tation with the Presbyteral Council and the approval of the Cardinal.

The pastor of the parish may allow a reflection by one individual. This is to take place between the Post- Communion prayer and the end of Mass. The personal reflections should be limited to 3 minutes and are to be presented in writing to the pastoral minister assisting the family in advance of the service.

Regarding the final resting place of the deceased, full-body burial remains the preference of the Church, but cremation is always per-mitted. However, the cremated remains of the human body are to be placed in sacred ground and are never to be scattered, separated or kept by loved ones. Burying the remains of the faithful confirms one's faith in the resurrection of the body. The teachings of the Church call for us to care for the cremated remains of the human body with the same respect and dignity that we care for casketed re-mains of our loved ones.

These norms will shortly be incorporated into the materials we pro-vide for families when the time comes to plan a Funeral Mass, but the expectation is that they be followed now. The fact is that, sooner or later, we all have to face the challenge of preparing that last farewell for someone we love. We want that farewell to be beautiful, uplifting and heartfelt. We should also want it to true to the faith and tradition of the Church into which we are all baptized, and in which we hope to spend all eternity giving praise and thanks to God in the great Com-munion of Saints.

CONFIRMATION RETREAT — October 27, 2019 The 8th grade confirmation retreat was packed with fun activities and great learning

experiences. They started by playing ice breakers that got the kids comfortable and

bonded with each other. Then Father Bob came and gave a prayer for wisdom and

understanding of the confirmation process. Katie Fuhrmann, a retreat facilitator,

spoke about the importance of the retreat; to create a relationship with God and

grow with that relationship in order to find their true identity as a follower of Christ.

Another facilitator, Delaney Eaheart, said she wanted to get the 8th graders ready for

confirmation and to get them excited for a bright future in the church. Some of the

things the 8th graders have to do for confirmation is pick a saint and a sponsor. Re-

becca Urbaniak picked St. Caroline because she believes in others and herself and

Rebecca feels that she is a good representation of herself. When asked about their

sponsor, many kids picked an individual that they felt connected to and someone

they could trust. Violet Quirke said she picked one of her close family friends because

she looks up to her and trusts her. The confirmation retreat was a big success that

truly got the 8th graders ready for their next stage in life as a member of the church.

MASS OF REMEMBRANCE AND HEALING

Honoring children now entrusted to God’s loving care.

Friday, November 15th, 7:00 pm

There probably is no greater pain than the loss of a child. The Eliza-

beth Ministry is hosting a Mass of Remembrance, Hope, and Healing

for all who have suffered such a loss at any time in their lives. The loss

might be from miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth, abortion, acci-

dent, illness, suicide, or other circumstances.

Mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings, relatives, and family friends

are encouraged to come. If you know of someone who would benefit

from this liturgy, please invite him or her to come. We hope those who

have come to the mass in prior years will come again.

Refreshments will be served afterwards in the back of the church.

ALTAR SERVERS’ SCHEDULE

Gospel Lk 19:1-10

At that time, Jesus came to Jericho and

intended to pass through the town. Now a

man there named Zacchaeus, who was a

chief tax collector and also a wealthy

man, was seeking to see who Jesus was;

but he could not see him because of the

crowd, for he was short in stature. So he

ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree

in order to see Jesus, who was about to

pass that way. When he reached the

place, Jesus looked up and said,

"Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today

I must stay at your house." And he came

down quickly and received him with joy.

When they all saw this, they began to

grumble, saying, "He has gone to stay at

the house of a sinner." But Zacchaeus

stood there and said to the Lord, "Behold,

half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give

to the poor, and if I have extorted any-

thing from anyone I shall repay it four

times over." And Jesus said to him," To-

day salvation has come to this house be-

cause this man too is a descendant of

Abraham. For the Son of Man has come

to seek and to save what was lost."
