They all had a great time and were moved by the experience. The theme was “Blessed • Broken • Given”. The NCYC is a biannual event that is open to all high schoolers. The 2021 NCYC will be held in Indianapolis. 2 December 8, 2019 St. Edna ~ Sharing Sunday Some thoughts for the Advent Season The Best Version of Yourself: The first step in changing the future is confronting the past. We have to look honestly at ourselves to see how our energies have been spent, to see where our priorities have been assigned. Only when we have confronted the person we have BEEN, are we able to envision the person we can BECOME. Lay Person’s 10 Commandments: Prayer is not a “spare wheel” that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a “steering wheel” that directs the right path throughout the journey. Remember that a car’s WINDSHIELD is large and the REAR VIEW MIRROR is small because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. Look ahead and move on. Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes only a few minutes to burn, but it takes years to write. All things in life are temporary. If things are going well, enjoy it. It won’t last forever. If things are going wrong, don’t worry. That can’t last long either. Old friends are GOLD. New friends are DIAMONDS. If you get a DIAMOND, don’t forget the GOLD, because to hold a DIAMOND, you always need a base of GOLD. Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, God smiles from above and says, “Relax, it’s just a bend, not the end.” When God solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities. When God doesn’t solve your problems, He has faith in YOUR abilities. A blind person asked St. Anthony: “What is worse than losing your eye sight?” He replied, “Losing your vision!” When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes when YOU are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for YOU. Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s TROUBLES, it takes away today’s PEACE. - Fr. Darrio Respecting Our Worship Space St. Edna Church is our Holy place, our Domus Dei (House of God)...our Porta Coeli (Gate of Heaven). It is where we come to find God. Some come to mass early to quietly pray and to put themselves in the presence of the Lord. Some stay quietly after Mass to meditate on the miracle of grace that is the Eucharist….others to pray the rosary alone or as a group. St. Ignatius tells us that “the essential, indispensable element in prayer is attention. Without attention there is no prayer. True attention, given by grace, comes when we make our heart silent to the world.” With this in mind, we hope to work toward not being a distraction to those engaged in prayer before and after mass. We can accomplish this by keeping our conversations with fellow parishioners quiet, and if possible in the Narthex of our Church. Now, more than ever, we need a place to quiet our souls in this 24/7 world of ours. www.stedna.org 3 ADVENT & CHRISTMAS 2019 December 8th Parish Pancake Breakfast with Santa Feast of the Fourth Sunday of Advent Immaculate Conception Saturday, December 21st (not a holy day of obligation) 5:00pm Mass of Anticipation Monday, December 9th Sunday, December 22nd Mass at 8:00am 7:30am 9:30am 11:30am 5:30pm Monday, December 23rd Daily Mass—8:00am Tuesday, December 24th The Sacrament of Daily Mass—8:00am Reconciliation ≈≈†≈≈ Saturday Christmas Eve—Tuesday, December 24th December 21st 3:00pm 3:15pm (in Parish Center) 8:00am-9:00am 5:30pm Midnight and Christmas Day—Wednesday, December 25th Multi-Parish Reconciliation with Individual Confessions: 9:00am 9:15am (in Parish Center) 11:00am ≈≈†≈≈ December 16th at 7:30pm The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph at Our Lady of the Wayside Saturday, December 28th December 17th at 3:00pm 5:00pm Mass of Anticipation at St. Edna Sunday, December 29th December 17th at 7:30pm 7:30am 9:30am 11:30am 5:30pm at St. Mary’s, Buffalo Grove New Year’s Eve -Tuesday, December 31st December 18th at 7:30pm 8:00am 5:00pm at St. James Mary, Mother of God—Wednesday, January 1st December 19th at 7:30pm (A Holy Day of Obligation) at St. Colette, 10:00am Rolling Meadows 4 December 8, 2019 St. Edna ~ Parish Missal for Mass Advent Reflection Books As a reminder—To insure that This weekend, the “Little Blue Book” for the Advent we have enough for everyone to and Christmas seasons are available. use at each Mass, we ask that These books provide 6-minute daily reflections from you please return your missal to December 1, the First Sunday of Advent, through the Narthex before you leave the January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord church.

It would be hard to imagine a celebration about which more words have been spoken, poems written, and stories told than Christmas. We share many traditions and know many of the legends surrounding this Feast. There are legends that speak of cattle in stables falling to their knees at midnight, birds singing all night long, and trees and plants, especially along the Jordan River, that bow in reverence toward Bethlehem. In these merry and holy days, we welcome our Lord and Savior, who comes to us in gentleness and love. We announce God’s epiphany with giving gifts and greetings, with lights, decorations and flowers. This Christmas, parishioners are invited to assist in creating a small yet tangible remembrance of their family members and/or friends while helping to fund the Christmas flowers and enhance the parish liturgies.

It comes at a time when the country as a whole is torn into bits and pieces and when, following eleven years of war, the economy is in shambles: the industrial sector is virtually crippled, the wheels of commerce are slowly grinding to a halt, and the national currency is fast becoming worthless. In this tormented context, the construction sector, as will become apparent in the following pages, has incredibly maintained its resilience.

  • Alexander Svoboda 1897 Note
    CHAPTER NOTES Chapter Notes Chapter 1 Departure From Baghdad and Farewells ﺩﺍﻟﺴﻔﺮ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻐﺪﺍ ﻭﺍ ﻟﻤﻮﺍﺩﻋﺔ page 002 1. "Thirteenth of the month" Alexander is mistaken about the date, Wednesday was the 14th of the month. 2. Mule litter: (taḫterewān) From the Persian taḫt-e revān (taḫt meaning seat or throne, revān meaning moving). It was commonly used in Iraq, sometimes in the abbreviated form taḫt. In the English diary of the return journal, Alexander used the term teḫtersin, for which we have been unable to find any references. 3. Balioz: The word Balioz was originally the Turkish form of the title of the Baglio, the Venetian representative to the Ottoman court. In later years the word 'Balioz' became a vulgar term for any foreign consul. The British Consulate or Residency in Baghdad was commonly known among the inhabitants there as "the house of the Balioz". Here the term refers to the British Consul-General. 4. Colonel Edward Mockler: The British Consul General in Baghdad from 1892 to 1897, when he was replaced by Colonel William Loch and journeyed overland to Cairo with Alexander Richard Svoboda and his parents. Born in 1839, he served in several positions in the British Army in India and the Middle East. He was also a scholar and linguist. For more information, See: http://courses.washington.edu/otap/svobodapedia/index.php?title=Edward_Mockler) the Edward Mockler page in the Svobodapedia. 5. al-Dayr: An abbreviation commonly used by the diarist for the town Dayr al-Zawr. 6. Kasperkhan: Fathallah (Fettohi) Kasperkhan was born around 1819 and married some time before 1862 to Sophie-Elizabeth Svoboda (Alexander's Aunt Eliza).

  • July & August 2016
    The Maronite Voice A Publication of the Maronite Eparchies in the USA Volume XII Issue No. VII July - August 2016 The Martyrs uly is the month of the Massabki Martyrs: three brave lay men, who gave their lives in Jdefense of their faith. But more than that, they were businessmen and family men who modeled their faith at home, way before they paid the ultimate price of martyrdom. When we think of the Massabki Brothers, and all those who have witnessed to Christ and paid the ultimate price, we think how faithful they must have been. But martyrdom is not only about those who have received their crown; it is also about us. What are we doing to deserve a similar crown? Are we also that "faithful witness," as was Jesus in the Book of Revelations, willing to die, and just as important, willing to live and witness to "Jesus Christ, and him crucified"? The Holy Father, Pope Francis, calls upon us to be Christ's witnesses, just as he asked us in this Jubilee Year to be Christ's mercy. He often reminds us that the integrity of our lives, that is, the "consistency" or "coherence," as he likes to say, must include all that we say, do, and live, as well as the way we die, as consistent with our faith in Christ. Just as mercy is consistent with the Gospel of Christ, so too our witness to him must be consistent with our personal lives. We cannot say we believe in Christ, and then live as though Christ matters little in how we spend time, money, or make choices.
