On Friday, November 16, at 7:00 pm, we will celebrate a special Memorial Mass at

St. Ansgar for all those who have lost a loved one in the past year (from November 2011 to October 2012).

If you have lost a spouse, parent, child, brother, sister, relative or friend and would like to participate in the candle-lighting ceremony during this liturgy, please notify the Parish Office (630-837-5553 x 100) by Monday, November 12. Tell us the name of the deceased and the name of the person who will come forward to receive the lighted candle when the deceased’s name is read aloud.

Everyone is invited to join us in this special Memorial Mass. It is a wonderful opportunity to show our unity as a parish family and be of comfort to those who have lost someone near and dear to them.

The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Second Vatican Council

The Church: the sacrament of the world’s salvation This is the fourth of six articles on the purpose and major documents of the Second Vatican Council, written on the fiftieth anniversary of the calling of the Council by Blessed Pope John XXIII. The documents on the Sacred Liturgy and on Divine Revelation, which were the subject of previous short articles, lead us now to consider Lumen gentium, the Constitution on the Church.

Christ is the light of all the peoples of the world, as the title of the document on the Church declares at its very start. A few lines into the document, the Church is defined as the sacrament of the unity of the human race, the instrument that Christ, as savior of the whole world, uses to gather all peoples together in his name and in his love.

The Church is presented as a mystery of faith. This is because her existence begins with the mission that Christ received from his Father to save the world from the consequences of its sinfulness, and because her life is therefore incorporated into the mystery which is God’s own life as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. One of the ironies of the last fifty years is that the Council’s desire to situate the Church within the faith itself has been often thwarted by people who still consider her primarily as a juridical institution and who espouse institutional “reform” programs as if the Church were a country, a corporation or a club. The Council intended to change this way of thinking about the Church.

The Church is variously described as a sheepfold, as the edifice of God, as our mother, as the spouse of the spotless Lamb of God, as the place where a pilgrim people come together on their journey of faith in order to receive the gifts that Christ won for them--the gift of the Holy Spirit, sanctifying grace, sacramental grace, the truths of the Gospel, the infused virtues, the love of pastors ordained to make Christ’s headship visible in his body, and all the other gifts, visible and invisible, that create the tissue of life of the faithful.

Because all the baptized are called to holiness of life here and to life eternal in God’s heavenly kingdom, the Church offers all the gifts necessary to achieve holiness. The Council’s teaching on the Church considers various ways of achieving holiness and living as a disciple of Christ: lay people in the world, those in the married state, the life of religious consecration, the way of ordained deaconate and priesthood and episcopacy, the various forms of discipleship that have been part of the Church’s history and which we see most clearly in those who have been declared saints, especially, in a pre-eminent way, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our mother. This great company of witnesses grows in each generation as the Church reaches out in mission to share the gifts of Christ, the Light of the Nations, with all the peoples of the earth. The Church herself is a gift from Christ, her head, who uses the sacraments of the Church to touch and to be present to his people and who desires that all peoples be gathered into one people of God in the Church. Francis Cardinal George, OMI Archbishop of Chicago

What Is the Year of Faith?

October 11 marked the 50th anniversary of the opening of Vatican II and the twentieth anniversary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. From that day through the solemnity of Christ the King in November 2013, Pope Benedict invites us to celebrate a “Year of Faith.” This Year challenges us, disciples baptized into Christ and his Church, to move beyond routine to relationship; to “re-image” our Catholic faith not as an intellectual exercise, but as a personal encounter with Christ, an encounter that blossoms into a living friendship with Jesus and a loving relationship with our neighbor. Important as official teachings are—and this year we should rediscover these, too—the pope suggests that we begin this Year by looking at faith as a lifelong journey undertaken with a joy that inevitably attracts others. As examples of a personal faith whose authenticity and enthusiasm have an impact on others, Pope Benedict canonized two saints with American significance on World Mission Sunday, October 21: Native American Kateri Tekakwitha (1656–1680), whose short life was a journey of selfless love; and Mother Marianne Cope (1838–1918), whose love for Christ led her from Germany to Hawaii, where she shared Father Damien’s ministry to those afflicted with Hansen’s disease.

El Quincuagésimo Aniversario del Concilio Vaticano II La Iglesia: el Sacramento de la Salvación del Mundo

Este es el cuarto de seis artículos sobre el propósito y sobre los principales documentos del Concilio Vaticano II, escrito con motivo del cincuentenario de la convocatoria del Concilio por el beato Papa Juan XXIII. Los documentos sobre la Sagrada Liturgia y sobre la Revelación Divina, que fueron objeto de anteriores artículos, nos llevan a considerar ahora Lumen gentium, la Constitución sobre la Iglesia.

Cristo es la luz de todos los pueblos del mundo, como declara en su comienzo el título del documento sobre la Iglesia. Unas pocas líneas más adelante, se define a la Iglesia como el sacramento de la unidad del género humano, el instrumento que Cristo, como salvador del mundo, utiliza para reunir a todos los pueblos en su nombre y en su amor.

La Iglesia es presentada como un misterio de fe. Esto se debe a que su existencia comienza con la misión que Cristo recibió de su Padre para salvar al mundo de las consecuencias de su pecado, y porque su vida es por lo tanto incorporada en el misterio que es la vida misma de Dios como Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. Una de las ironías de los últimos cincuenta años es que la voluntad del Concilio de situar a la Iglesia dentro de la propia fe ha sido a menudo frustrada por la gente que todavía la considera principalmente como una institución jurídica y que apoyan programas de “reforma” institucional como si la Iglesia fuera un país, una empresa o un club. El Concilio tuvo la intención de cambiar esta forma de pensar acerca de la Iglesia.

La Iglesia es descrita como un rebaño, como el edificio de Dios, como nuestra madre, como la esposa del Cordero inmaculado de Dios, como el lugar donde un pueblo peregrino se reúne en su camino de fe con el fin de recibir los dones que Cristo ganó para ellos - el don del Espíritu Santo, la gracia santificante, la gracia sacramental, las verdades del evangelio, las virtudes infusas, el amor de los pastores ordenados para hacer visible la autoridad de Cristo en su cuerpo, y todos los otros dones, visibles e invisibles, que crean el tejido de la vida de los fieles.

Debido a que todos los bautizados están llamados a la santidad de la vida aquí, y a la vida eterna en el reino celestial de Dios, la Iglesia ofrece todos los dones necesarios para alcanzar la santidad. La doctrina del Concilio sobre la Iglesia considera varias maneras de lograr la santidad y de vivir como discípulo de Cristo: los laicos en el mundo, aquellos en el estado matrimonial, la vida de consagración religiosa, el camino del diaconado, sacerdocio y episcopado ordenados, las diversas formas de discipulado que han sido parte de la historia de la Iglesia y la que vemos más claramente en aquellos que han sido declarados santos, especialmente, de un modo preminente, la Santísima Virgen María, Madre de Dios y Madre nuestra. Esta magnífica compañía de testigos crece en cada generación conforme la Iglesia se extiende en la misión de compartir los dones de Cristo, Luz de las Naciones, con todos los pueblos de la tierra.

La Iglesia misma es un don de Cristo, su cabeza, que utiliza los sacramentos de la Iglesia para tocar y estar presente ante su pueblo y que quiere que todos los pueblos se reúnan en la Iglesia en un solo pueblo de Dios.

Cardenal Francis George, OMI Arzobispo de Chicago

¿Qué es el Año de la Fe?

El 11 de octubre marcó el quincuagé-simo aniversario del inicio del Concilio Vaticano II y el vigésimo aniversario del Catecismo de la Iglesia católica. Desde ese día hasta la solemnidad de Cristo Rey en noviembre de 2013, el papa Benedicto nos invita a celebrar un “Año de la Fe”. Este Año nos da un desafío a nosotros, a los discípulos bautizados en Cristo y su Iglesia, de mover más allá de la rutina a la relación; de “imaginar de nuevo” nuestra fe católica, no como un ejercicio intelectual sino como un encuentro personal con Cristo, un encuentro que florece en una amistad viva con Jesús y una relación amorosa con nuestro prójimo. Lo im-portantes que son las enseñanzas ofi-ciales—y este año debemos redescubrir estas también—el papa sugiere que empecemos este Año pensando de la fe como un viaje de toda la vida emprendido con un gozo que inevitablemente atrae a otros. Como ejemplos de una fe personal con autenticidad y entusiasmo que impacta a otras personas, el Domingo Mundial de las Misiones, el 21 de octubre el papa Benedicto canonizó dos santos con un significado para los estadounidenses: Kateri Tekakwitha (1656–1680), la indígena norteamericana cuya vida fue un viaje de amor altruista; y la madre Marianne Cope (1838–1918), cuyo amor por Cristo hizo que viajara desde Alemania a Hawái, donde compartió el trabajo pastoral del padre Damián a los que padecían de la lepra.
