I want to use this opportunity to thank all who worked hard for our parish picnic. I thank those who donated food items and prizes. A parish picnic is a great idea. A large number of parishioners attended. Many parishioners invited their friends. Everyone had a good time. Once again, I express my gratitude to our

volunteers they worked extra hard to make sure everyone was served. Whenever you have a large group of people demanding food at the same time, it is expected that there will be some mix-ups. Granted we are a Christian family, we are still a human family. We had some confusion at the picnic. Those miscalculations need to be addressed before our next parish picnic. Thanks to everyone who attended, those who donated food items and prizes, and my sincere appreciation to all our volunteers. Blessings, Fr. Ignatius

Conferral of the Pallium Holy Name Cathedral, Chicago Sunday, August 23, 2015 When an Archbishop is appointed to a new archdiocese, he requests the Pallium from the Holy See. The Pallium is a scarf, or stole-like vestment that is worn over the chasuble when the Archbishop celebrates Mass. It is about two-inches wide, and it rests on the shoulders, with a pendant or lappet in the front and the back which hang about 12 inch-es. When viewed from the front or the back, the Pallium resembles the letter ‘Y’.

The Pallium is white, with six black crosses. Three of those crosses, the ones on the front, back and left shoul-der, are ornamented with a gold pin, symbolizing the three nails of Christ’s crucifixion.

Some of the white wool of the Pallium comes from two lambs that are blessed each year by the Pope on Janu-ary 21, the feast of St. Agnes. In addition, each of the pendants which hang in front and back are tipped with black sat-in, resembling the hoof of a lamb; thus the imagery being that of the Archbishop, the chief shepherd of the diocese, carrying a lamb on his shoulders, in imitation of Christ the Good Shepherd. Originally, the Pallium was worn only by the Pope but now it is given, by him, to metropolitan Archbishops as a sign of their unity with the Pope.

Every diocese is part of a collection of dioceses called a Province. In the United States, the Provinces most of-ten, but not always, are designated by state lines. The five dioceses of Illinois, Belleville, Joliet, Peoria, Rockford and Springfield in Illinois, are a Province. Each Province has an Archdiocese, which is called the Metropolitan See. Thus the Archbishop of that diocese is the Metropolitan Archbishop, and he presides over, although has no jurisdiction over, the dioceses of that Province. Archbishop Cupich, then, is the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Province of Chicago.

The conferral of the Pallium on a new Archbishop is actually part of the Rite of Installation of a Bishop in his Cathedral Church. That is, when a new Archbishop is received in his Cathedral and he takes possession of the Archdio-cese, the Nuncio, who is the Pope’s delegate in the United States, would confer the Pallium as part of the Rite. Howev-er, some 32 years ago, Saint John Paul II took the investiture of the Pallium out of the Rite of Installation, and instead called new Archbishops to Rome where he invested them himself on June 29, the Solemnity of Ss. Peter and Paul. Pope Francis, in January of this year, decided that new Archbishops will once again receive the Pallium in their own Cathe-drals, in the midst of their own people. Presumably, then, the conferral of the Pallium will again be part of the Rite of Installation of a Bishop in his Cathedral Church. Since Archbishop Cupich has already been installed on November 18, 2014, he will receive the Pallium from the Nuncio at a Mass at Holy Name Cathedral on August 23, 2015.

This Mass will not only be a great Archdiocesan celebration for Chicago, but it will also be a Provincial celebra-tion, with the bishops of the other dioceses of Illinois present and concelebrating with Archbishop Cupich. In the open-ing rites of that Mass, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the Papal Nuncio, will invest Archbishop Cupich with the Pallium, a sign of his unity with Pope Francis, and a symbol of his office as Metropolitan Archbishop.

Invitation to Chicago Pallium Celebration All are invited to join Archbishop Blase J. Cupich for the Chicago Pallium Celebration on Sunday, August 23,

at 2:15 p.m., at Holy Name Cathedral, State and Superior Streets in Chicago. On this day, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, will invest Archbishop Cupich

with the pallium that was blessed by Pope Francis at the Vatican on Monday, June 29. Archbishop Cupich will greet the faithful in the Cathedral following the Mass until 4:30 p.m.

All are invited and no tickets are required.

TODAY’S READINGS

First Reading -- Joshua challenges the Israelites to serve either the Lord or other gods. They choose the Lord (Joshua 24:1-2a, 15-17, 18b).

Psalm -- Taste and see the goodness of the Lord (Psalm 34).

Second Reading -- Paul reflects on how husbands and wives should reverence and love each other (Ephesians 5:21-32).

Gospel -- Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life (John 6:60-69).

READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Revelations 21:9b-14; Psalm 145:10-13, 17-18; John 1:45-51 Tuesday: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8; Psalm 139:1-6; Matthew 23:23-26 Wednesday: 1 Thessalonians 2:9-13; Psalm 139:7-12ab; Matthew 23:27-32

Thursday: 1 Thessalonians 3:7-13; Psalm 90:3-5a, 12-14, 17; Matthew 24:42-51 Friday: 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8; Psalm 97:1, 2b, 5-6, 10-12; Matthew 25:1-13 Saturday: 1 Thessalonians 4:9-11; Psalm 98:1, 7-9; Mark 6:17-29

Reflecting on God’s Word “If it does not please you to serve the LORD,” Joshua enjoins the tribes of Israel at Shechem, “decide today whom you will serve.” And the people answered: “Far be it from us to forsake the LORD to serve other gods,” going on to name the deeds the Lord had done for them (Joshua 24:15, 16). Centuries later, after hearing Jesus call himself bread to be eaten, descendants of those at Shechem said: “This saying is hard; who can accept it?” And they “no longer accompanied him.” Jesus then asked the Twelve if they would leave too. Simon answered for all: “We have come to believe and are convinced you are the Holy One of God” (John 6:60, 66, 69). Our response is a simple but weighty Amen (meaning “So be it”). When the consecrated host is held up, accompanied by “The Body of Christ,” and the cup offered with “The Blood of Christ,” we are asked to put our faith on the line and say, “Amen.” Has familiarity bred contentment? Are we so used to this mystery that we rarely have a sense of awe or wonder? The first act of faith is believing that God is present in things as ordinary as this bread and wine. We believe that the bread and wine are changed into the Body and Blood of Christ. What is the change in us that should accompany receiving them? But of such stuff dreams are made—God’s dream of a family, loving daughters and sons, gathered around a table to say “Amen,” then to live Communion in a world of broken bodies, shed blood, wounded hearts, and crushed spirits. When we say “Amen” to this mystery, who knows what might happen? —James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.

Living God’s Word Jesus, you came from the Father and returned to the Father and remain ever near the Father’s heart. You remain the Father’s Word of love to us, the Word of the Father’s commitment to us; draw us into being “Amen” as you were also “Amen” to the Father’s will. Amen.
