RADICAL TRANSFORMATION

On this Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, the readings describe anything but an ordinary time. They are disturbing and they leave us disturbed. The Old Testament reading recounts a young man’s radical break with the past to follow a new path. The Gospel describes how life as we know it is abruptly changed if we follow the call of Christ. The psalm and Paul assure us that such life-altering change is possible only because of the power of Gods love. We are presented with a stark choice. To love as God loves, we must leave our old lives behind. We must leave behind not just the bad, the selfish, and the evil but the ordinary, our daily work, and the important, our families, our lives. Loving as God loves requires a radical transformation, not a smooth transition. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Saint of the Week: St. Elizabeth of

Elizabeth is usually depicted in royal garb with a dove or an olive branch. At her birth in 1271, her father Pedro III, future king of , was reconciled with his father James, the reigning mon- arch. This proved to be a portent of things to come. Under the healthful influences surrounding her early years, she quickly learned self-discipline and acquired a taste for spirituality. Thus fortunately prepared, Elizabeth was able to meet the challenge when at age 12, she was given in marriage to Denis, king of Portugal. She was able to establish for herself a pattern of life conducive to growth in God’s love, not merely through her exercises of piety, including daily Mass, but also through her exercise of charity, by which she was able to befriend and help pilgrims, strangers, the sick, the poor—in a word, all those whose need came to her notice. At the same time she remained devoted to her husband, whose infidelity to her was a scandal to the kingdom. Denis, too, was the object of many of her peace endeavors. Elizabeth long sought peace for him with God, and was finally rewarded when he gave up his life of sin. She repeatedly sought and effected peace between the king and their rebellious son Alfonso, who thought that he was passed over to favor the king’s illegitimate children. She acted as peacemaker in the struggle between Ferdinand, king of Aragon, and his cousin James, who claimed the crown. And finally from , where she had retired as a Franciscan tertiary to the of the after the death of her husband, Elizabeth set out and was able to bring about a lasting peace between her son Alfonso, now king of Portugal, and his son-in-law, the king of Castile.

Her feast day is July 4. St. , pray for us!

Santo de la semana: Santa Isabel de Portugal

Elizabeth se representa generalmente en atuendo real con una paloma o una rama de olivo. En su nacimiento en 1271, su padre Pedro III, futuro rey de Aragón, se reconcilió con su padre James, el monarca reinante. Esto resultó ser un presagio de las cosas por venir. Bajo las influencias saludables que rodeaban sus primeros años, rápidamente aprendió autodisci- plina y adquirió un gusto por la espiritualidad. Así, afortunadamente preparada, Elizabeth pudo enfrentar el desafío cuando a los 12 años fue entregada en matrimonio a Denis, rey de Portugal. Ella pudo establecer por sí misma un patrón de vida propicio para el crecimiento en el amor de Di- os, no solo a través de sus ejercicios de piedad, incluida la misa diaria, sino también a través de su ejercicio de caridad, mediante el cual pudo hacerse amiga y ayudar a peregrinos, extraños , los enfermos, los pobres, en una palabra, todos aquellos cuya necesidad llegó a su atención. Al mismo tiempo, ella seguía dedicada a su marido, cuya infidelidad hacia ella era un escándalo para el reino. Denis, también, fue el objeto de muchos de sus esfuerzos por la paz. Elizabeth buscó por mucho tiempo la paz para él con Dios, y finalmente fue recompensada cuando abandonó su vida de pecado. Ella buscó y logró en repetidas ocasiones la paz entre el rey y su rebelde hijo Alfonso, quien pensó que había sido ignorado para favorecer a los hijos ilegítimos del rey. Tambien actuó como pacificadora en la lucha entre Ferdinand, rey de Aragón, y su primo James, quien reclamó la corona. Y finalmente desde Coimbra, a donde se había retirado como terciaria franciscana al monasterio de las Clarisas después de la muerte de su esposo, Elizabeth se dispuso a lograr una paz duradera entre su hijo Alfonso, ahora rey de Portugal, y Su yerno, el rey de Castilla. Su fiesta es el 4 de julio. Santa Isabel de Portugal, ¡ruega por nosotros! Información de: Franciscan Media (www.franciscanmedia.org) June 30, 2019 Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 7

Music Notes: A Reintroduction

By Tim Horneman, Music Director

As I noted last weekend, I am out of town this weekend at a family event, and next weekend, I’ll be on my way back from a music conference. Since I’m absent, it’s as good a time as any to reintroduce myself, for those who may not know me and those who would like to know a bit more about me. This weekend, I mark two full years as Divine Savior’s music director. They’ve been wonderful; the support from Fr. Agustin, the deacons, the staff, the music ministry and you, the congregation, has been steadfast and uplifting, and I truly love it here. It was quite the journey to get here, though. I’ve been a church musician for a long time – dating back more than 20 years to 8th grade, in fact, with a hiatus for several years as I went to college and worked in the big city. I don’t have a music degree – I went to college for journalism and political science, neither of which I really use nowadays, this music column notwithstanding. But after a writing and editing career marked by two layoffs (one very painful, the other, eh), I felt that God was calling me to do something else – I had been doing church music on the side for years, and maybe it was time to try it as a career. So I applied for music director jobs, and Divine Savior came calling. My work here involves planning the music for most English Masses, and occasionally for Spanish Mass. I’m also the principal musician for funerals and weddings, and I direct the adult choir, Youth Schola children’s choir, and Resurrection choir for funerals. Though I started playing piano at age 5 and didn’t start playing the organ until age 11 or so, at this point I consider myself more of an organist than a pianist. The challenge of playing organ – from mastering the technique (the foot pedals aren’t easy, folks) to picking the right sounds for the right situations – keeps me working hard. But I don’t mind playing either. Outside my parish work, I’m also the music teacher at one of the area Catholic schools. I was recruited by the principal (also a parishioner here) to give it a shot, and it has worked out very well. As my time allows, I write these columns to give a little bit of idea of what goes into my ministry here at Divine Savior, so you won’t see a column every week but I’ll write them as often as I can. And if you ever have questions, please feel free to chat with me after Mass or e-mail me ([email protected]). June 30, 2019 Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 8

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Processions are life’s journey distilled. We move with companions, aware that Christ accompanies us, as we move to the altar for Communion or to the font for baptism, or carry a loved one to a place of rest. In Europe, the season of pilgrimage is beginning now, and tens of thousands of people are moving by foot on well-worn paths. Some take as long as six weeks to walk the last few hundred miles of the medieval pilgrimage route to the Shrine of St. James the Apostle in Compostella, in northern . Those who make the journey by foot, hiking, or by bicycle, have a kind of passport stamped at villages and on the road. When they present this document at the cathedral, they are given the emblem of a pilgrim, the scallop shell of St. James. High over their heads at Mass, a huge botafumero twirls clouds of sweet incense through the cathedral. Cynics say it is to mask the odor of smelly feet. The pilgrims know better. Seeing through the clouds the happy faces of those they met along the road, they recognize a foretaste of the welcome into heaven, and the joy of meeting loved ones in the Kingdom of God. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TESOROS DE NUESTRA TRADICION Las procesiones son como el camino de la vida. Nos movemos con compañeros, conscientes de que Cristo nos acompaña, cuando nos movemos hacia el altar para la Comunión o la fuente para el bautismo, o para llevar a un ser querido a un lugar de descanso. En Europa, la temporada de pere- grinaje está comenzando ahora, y decenas de miles de personas se están moviendo a pie por senderos bien usados. Algunos tardan hasta seis semanas en recorrer los últimos cientos de kilómet- ros de la ruta de peregrinación medieval al Santuario del Apóstol Santiago en Compostela, en el norte de España. Aquellos que hacen el viaje a pie, caminando o en bicicleta, tienen una especie de pasaporte sellado en pueblos y monasterios en la carretera. Cuando presentan este documento en la catedral, se les entrega el emblema de un peregrino, la concha de San Jaime. En lo alto de sus cabezas en la misa, un enorme botafumero gira nubes de dulce incienso a través de la catedral. Los cínicos dicen que es para enmascarar el olor de los pies malolientes. Los peregrinos saben mejor. Al ver a través de las nubes los rostros felices de los que se encontraron en el camino, reconocen un anticipo de la bienvenida al cielo y la alegría de encontrarse con sus seres queridos en el Reino de Dios. —James Field, Copyright © J.

Shopping Online can Earn Donations for the Parish

There is a growing trend for large brands and retail stores to donate a portion of every purchase to a charity of your choice. These donations are not added to your purchase price but are taken from the retailer’s own bot- tom line. These donations can be directed to Divine Savior easily. Divine Savior Parish is a qualified 501 (3)c non-profit organization, meaning it is in the nationally recognized charity databases like Guidestar and Charity Navigator. These are the databases that the retailers use to give you your choice of destinations for the donation. For example, to make sure every purchase you make on Amazon.com goes to charity, start by using the URL smile.amazon.com (not www.amazon.com). Once you are there, choose Divine Savior Parish in Downers Grove as your charity of choice. Every time you shop using smile.amazon.com, Amazon will donate 0.5% of your purchase total to Divine Savior. And yes, this works with your Prime membership if you have one.

And if you shop at other sites online besides Amazon, you can go to Shopping Gives (www.shopping.gives). Choose from a variety of retailers, then search for DIVINE SAVIOR PARISH in the Select A Cause box. Confirm your choice and then Shopping Gives will show the percentage of your total purchase that the retailer will donate after you checkout. June 30, 2019 Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 10
