We continue our progress through the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew. This Sunday, we hear Jesus declare: “No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon” (Mt 6:24). We hear Jesus refer to mammon, but what does the word mammon mean? Mammon originally was a Hebrew word which simply meant material possessions. The word mammon comes from a root term which means “to entrust.” Mammon once designated that which a person gave to a banker or some other custodian for safekeeping. Over the course of years, mammon came to mean not “that which is entrusted to another for safekeeping,” but rather “that in which a person places his trust.” So, mammon came to denote a rival to God himself. Moreover, Jesus, and all the people of ancient times, also knew that Mammon was the name for the pagan Syrian idol for riches. St. Peter Lombard, in his writings says, "riches are called by the name of a devil, namely Mammon, for Mammon is the name of a devil, by which name riches are called according to the Syrian tongue." Thus, Mammon,

which was a pagan idol, was understood and seen to be a rival to the true God. God and mammon are rivals. Jesus says we cannot serve both; we can only serve one master. Who do we choose? Do we trust God or something else? Who do we serve in our life?

Illinois is trying to pass legislation, House Bill 40. House Bill 40 not only mandates state support of abortion, but it would also include abortion coverage in state employees’ health care plans and the Medicaid program. Additionally, the bill allows taxpayer money to fund grants to organizations such as Planned Parenthood that refer, counsel for, and perform abortions. The bill, scheduled to be called for a vote very soon, would force taxpayers to fund abortions in the state. Pro-life groups are calling on people in Illinois to contact their legislators and voice their opposition to the radical bill. “We need to say no to the abortion industry’s desperate attempt to force you and me to pay for Illinois abortions,” said Emily Troscinski, executive director of Illinois Right To Life. “We have to act right now to stop an estimated 12,000 additional abortions per year.” She said Illinois once funded unrestricted abortions through Medicaid in the late 1970s, and taxpayers paid about $1.8 million for about 12,738 abortions at the time, so “12,000 abortions per year isn’t an exaggeration. House Bill 40 would undo a decades-old ban on taxpayer funding of abortion costing us thousands of lives a year. Please help us stop this bill.” The enactment of House Bill 40 would coerce all who pay taxes to indirectly support the taking of innocent human life. It is worth noting that abortion is an elective procedure and using state tax dollars to pay for it is not only immoral, but also an injustice. A far better use of tax money would be to fund prenatal services for the poor and child care for working mothers, as well as expand health care options for those in need. Another troubling aspect of HB 40 for the pro-life community is that it removes language from the Illinois Abortion Law of 1975 that identifies the unborn child as "a human being from the time of conception" and therefore "entitled to the right to life from conception" under state law. Troscinski said, "we have to ask ourselves what kind of cultural narrative this is creating in Illinois, noting that unborn children are considered human beings in homicide laws, but now some are arguing that personhood application doesn't extend to cases of abortion.” Please contact your state representative to urge a "no" vote on House Bill 40.

This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Lent is the season of silence. It is a time to enter into the desert, as Jesus did for 40 days. Cardinal Cupich invites Catholics to take extra time for silence after Communion to allow God to speak to us, for “nothing in all of creation is so like God as silence.” Please see the bulletin for Mass times on Ash Wednesday. Ashes will only be distributed during the Masses. Please pray for the safety of all who serve us as policemen, firemen, and in the armed services. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Good Help, help us with her maternal care and St. Joseph pray for us.

Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!

Continuamos nuestro progreso a través del Sermón de la Montaña en el Evangelio de Mateo. Este domingo, oímos a Jesús declarar: "Nadie puede servir a dos amos. Despreciara a uno y amará al otro, o se dedicará al pri-mero y no hará caso del segundo. No podéis servir a Dios y al dinero"(Mt 6, 24). Oímos a Jesús referirse a ma-món, pero ¿qué significa la palabra mamón? Mamón originalmente era una palabra hebrea que significaba sim-plemente posesiones materiales. La palabra mamón viene de un término raíz que significa "confiar". Mamón designó una vez lo que una persona le dio a un banquero o algún otro custodio para su custodia. A lo largo de los años, Mamón llegó a significar no "aquello que se confía a otro para salvaguardar", sino "aquello en lo que una persona pone su confianza". Así, Mamón llegó a denotar un rival a Dios mismo. Además, Jesús, y toda la gente de la antigüedad, también sabían que Mamón era el nombre del ídolo pagano de Siria por las rique-zas. San Pedro Lombardo, en sus escritos dice, "las riquezas son llamadas con el nombre de un diablo, a saber, Mamón, porque Mamón es el nombre de un demonio, por el cual se llaman riquezas según la lengua siria". Así,

Mamón, que era un ídolo pagano, era entendido y visto como un rival al verdadero Dios. Dios y Mamón son rivales. Jesús dice que no podemos servir a ambos; Sólo podemos servir a un maestro. ¿A quién elegimos? ¿Confiamos en Dios o en algo más? ¿A quién servimos en nuestra vida? Illinois está tratan-do de aprobar la le-gislación, la Ley 40. La Ley 40 de la Cá-mara no sólo exige el apoyo estatal al abor-to, sino que también incluirá la cobertura del aborto en los planes de salud de los empleados estata-les y el programa Medicaid. Además, el proyecto de ley per-mite que el dinero de los contribuyentes financie donaciones a organizaciones como Planned Parenthood que se refieren, asesoran y realizan abortos. El proyecto de ley, programado para ser convocado muy pronto, obligaría a los contribuyentes a financiar abortos en el estado. Grupos pro-vida están llamando a la gente en Illinois a ponerse en contacto con sus legisladores y expresar su oposición a la ley radical. "Necesitamos decir no al intento desesperado de la industria del aborto de obligarnos a usted ya mí a pagar por los abortos en Illinois", dijo Emily Troscinski, directora ejecutiva de Illinois Right To Life. "Tenemos que actuar ahora mismo para detener un número estimado de 12,000 abortos adicionales por año". Ella dijo que Illinois financió abortos sin restricciones a través de Medicaid a fines de la década de 1970, y los contribuyentes pagaron alrededor de 1,8 millones de dólares por aproximadamente 12,738 abortos en ese momento, Por año no es una exageración. El proyecto de ley 40 de la Cámara de Representantes deshacería una prohibición de hace décadas de que los contribuyentes financiaran el aborto y nos costaran miles de vidas al año. Por favor ayúdenos a detener este proyecto de ley ". La promulgación del Proyecto de Ley 40 obliga-ría a todos los que pagan impuestos a apoyar indirectamente la toma de la vida humana inocente. Vale la pena señalar que el aborto es un procedimiento electivo y el uso de dólares de los impuestos estatales para pagar por ello no sólo es inmoral, sino también una injusticia. Un uso mucho mejor del dinero de los impuestos sería para financiar los servicios prenatales para los pobres y el cuidado de los hijos para las madres que trabajan, así como ampliar las opciones de atención de la salud para aquellos que lo necesitan. Otro aspecto preocupante de HB 40 para la comunidad pro-vida es que elimina el lenguaje de la Ley de Aborto de 1975 que identifica al niño nonato como "un ser humano desde el momento de la concepción" y por lo tanto "derecho al derecho a la vida de Concepción "bajo la ley estatal. Troscinski dijo que "tenemos que preguntarnos qué tipo de narrativa cultural está creando en Illinois, señalando que los niños no nacidos son considerados seres humanos en las leyes de homicidio, pero ahora algunos están argumentando que la aplicación de la personalidad no se extiende a los casos de aborto". Por favor, póngase en contacto con su representante estatal para pedir un "no" en la Cámara de Representantes 40. Este Miércoles es Miércoles de Ceniza, el comienzo de Cuaresma. La Cuaresma es la estación del silencio. Es un tiempo para entrar en el desierto, como lo hizo Jesús durante 40 días. El Cardenal Cupich invita a los católicos a tomar tiempo extra para el silen-cio después de la Comunión para permitir que Dios nos hable, porque "nada en toda la creación es tan parecido a Dios como el silen-cio". Vea el boletín para el horario de las misas en el Miércoles de Ceniza. Las cenizas sólo se distribuirán durante las misas. Por favor oren por la seguridad de todos los que nos sirven como policías, bomberos y en las fuerzas armadas. Que la Santísima Virgen María, Madre de Buena Ayuda, nos ayude con su cuidado materno y San José ruega por nosotros. Vivat Jesus! ¡Viva Jesús!

W naszych rozważaniach kontynuujemy wątek Kazania na Górze z Ewangelii według św. Mateusza. Jezus stawia sprawę jasno: „Nikt nie może dwóm panom służyć. Bo albo jednego będzie nienawidził, a drugiego będzie miłował; albo z jednym będzie trzymał, a drugim wzgardzi. Nie możecie służyć Bogu i Mamonie” (Mt 6:24). Pojawia się tu słowo: „mamona”, ale co ono właściwie znaczy? Pierwotnie było to hebrajskie słowo, oznaczające po prostu dobytek. Mamona ma swoje źródło w czasowniku: „powierzać”. Niegdyś mamona była rzeczą dawaną komuś na przechowanie. Jednak z biegiem lat, słowo to nabrało nieco innego znaczenia – „rzecz, w której ktoś pokłada ufność”. Tak mamonę przeciwstawiono samemu Bogu. Ludzie z czasów Jezusa wiedzieli ponadto, że Mamona jest imieniem syryjskiego bożka bogactwa. Pisze o tym święty Piotr Lombard: „Bogactwo nazywa się w języku Syryjczyków diabelskim imieniem Mamona”. Mamonę,

pogańskiego bożka, postrzegano jako przeciwnego Prawdziwemu Bogu. Nie możemy służyć jednocześnie dwóm panom. A Ty? Którego wybierasz: Boga, czy Mamonę? W czym pokładamy naszą ufność? Władze stanu Illinois próbują przeforsować ustawę o nazwie: „House Bill 40”. Zgodnie z nią, aborcja będzie legalna na terenie całego stanu. Pokrycie kosztów zabiegu zapewni pracownicze ubezpieczenie zdrowotne oraz program Medicaid. Ponadto, nowe prawo zezwalałoby na finansowanie z pieniędzy podatników różnych grantów przeznaczonych dla organizacji popierających i wykonujących aborcję. Wkrótce ma się odbyć głosowanie nad tą ustawą. Jeżeli zostanie przegłosowana, podatnicy będą zmuszeni finansować zabiegi aborcyjne wykonywane na terenie Illinois. Działacze organizacji „pro-life” nawołują do kontaktu z władzami i zgłoszenia swego sprzeciwu wobec tej radykalnej ustawy. Gdyby weszła ona w życie, oznaczałoby to dodatkowych 12,000 aborcji wykonywanych na terenie stanu. Taka sytuacja miała już miejsce w latach 70-tych ubiegłego wieku, kiedy to Illinois finansowało zabiegi aborcyjne poprzez program Medicaid. Wówczas, za ponad 12,000 wykonywanych aborcji, podatnicy musieli płacić blisko dwa miliony dolarów rocznie. Jak widzicie, podane wyżej szacunki nie są przesadą. „House Bill 40” zniesie wieloletni, niepisany zakaz finansowania aborcji ze środków publicznych – a to przyczyni się do śmierci tysięcy osób. Musimy temu zapobiec. Ta kontrowersyjna ustawa sprawi, że my wszyscy, jako podatnicy, będziemy współodpowiedzialni za zabójstwo. Finansowanie aborcji z publicznych pieniędzy jest nie tylko niemoralne, ale i niesprawiedliwe. Lepiej byłoby te pieniądze przeznaczyć na badania prenatalne dla najuboższych, bądź pomoc samotnym, pracującym matkom. Dodatkowo, przeciwnicy ustawy martwią się tym, że pomija ona zapis zawarty w Illinois Abortion Law z 1975 roku, w myśl którego nienarodzone dziecko „jest uważane za istotę ludzką od chwili poczęcia”, której „prawo do życia przysługuje już od poczęcia”. Musimy zastanowić się nad tym, co te słowa będą znaczyć w świetle omawianej ustawy. Z jednej strony, dzieci nienarodzone uważa się za istoty ludzkie, jednak w przypadku aborcji owa definicja wydaje się nie obowiązywać. Skontaktujcie się z reprezentantem Waszego okręgu i namówcie go, aby głosował przeciw „House Bill 40”. Najbliższa środa to już Środa Popielcowa – początek Wielkiego Postu. Jest to czas ciszy, kiedy na 40 dni wychodzimy na pustynię, tak jak zrobił to Pan. Kardynał Cupich zachęca katolików do chwili ciszy po przyjęciu Komunii Świętej, albowiem „nic w Naturze tak bardzo nie jest podobne Bogu, jak cisza”. W biuletynie znajdziecie rozkład liturgii we Środę Popielcową. Głowę będzie można posypać popiołem jedynie w trakcie Mszy. Pamiętajcie w modlitwie o członkach służb mundurowych. Święta Maryjo, Matko Nieustającej Pomocy, miej nas zawsze w Swej opiece. Święty Józefie, módl się za nami. Vivat Iesus! Chwała Jezusowi!
