WEEKLY MEDITATION

"Reform your lives! The kingdom of heaven is at hand." These words of Jesus warn us against sleeping our lives away, against spiritual laziness. Like headlines about a disaster on the front page of the newspaper, the words and actions of Jesus are urgent and often unsettling. Our Lord makes it clear that we cannot afford confusion about where we are heading. We must realize that our words and actions of each day, of every moment, have eternal significance. Sin is incompatible with the Gospel, but Christianity is not a science of escaping as much punishment as possible in the hands of an angry God by strict observance of the rules. Christianity is about a relationship more important than all others. Our faith should be our very life, more precious than all other things. We should pray that our lives will be a gift that we return to the Lord in ever greater generosity as we follow our call to heroic holiness. If we cannot say this is true, then we are not the Christians our Lord calls us to be. If we realize that the stakes are eternal, then the words of Christ will not be lost upon us. We will take His words and teachings to heart, as spirit and life. "Reform your lives."

Lecture Series #2: CATHOLIC UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE Did anyone ever come up to you and start rattling off verses from the Bible?  Do you ever feel that they know more about the Bible than you? Do you wonder exactly how the Bible is viewed by Catholics? Well, if this sounds interesting to you, then we have an opportunity for you to get some answers. On Friday evening, February 15th, at 7:00 P.M. we ill continue our special 90th Anniversary Lecture Series. Father Michael Yakaitis from the University of Chicago will explain how the Bible has been understood by Catholics through the centuries. Please bring your Bible and your questions. You will begin to see that you don=t need to have the Bible memorized to follow the Word of God.

CATHOLIC YOUTH RALLY During this, our 90th anniversary year, we are trying to offer and include activities for all age groups of our parishioners; therefore, we encourage our teenagers to attend the following event. The Youth Ministry Office of the Archdiocese of Chicago is sponsoring "UNITED AT THE CROSS ROAD", a day of celebration filled with music, diversity, fun, and prayer on Sunday, Feb. 10 from Noon - 9P.M. at De La Salle High School.

After mass a short program sponsored by the Croatian School and the Cardinal Stepinac kolo group will be held in the School Hall. Following the program, the members of the Marian Society will serve lunch. (Donation $10.00) All proceeds from the luncheon will go toward the Church Restoration Fund. All are invited to attend.

This preeminent vocal group was established more than 30 years ago and is still active. They have received numerous awards and acknowledgements from various social and urban organiyations. They performed 13 times at the famous Festival of Dalmatian song, Croatina folk music and of Croatian tourism in general. They visited the Belgian Court at a personal invitation from the Royal couple. Their music is the music of the sea, the hard Dalmatian stone, Dubrovnik, and of Stradun.
As our renowned poet Luko Paljetak puts it: "... these are the "Maestral" singers. Close your eyes for a moment and lsiten to them. The Town rolls as a ship, on the waves of their music".
