That may (I know in some dioceses they celebrated Ascension on have been a little over the head for my young assembly.

What does it mean to preach in Jesus’ name?

This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord, where Jesus tells his disciples to go out and proclaim the gospel to every creature.

Today’s words from Ephesians explode with hope and delight… “Brothers and sisters…may the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call…” Through the challenges our Church, the institution, faces today, the faithful’s vision of this promise is blurred, so the written word is a reminder rich with unending hope. The enlightened heart is like that of a child, full of wonder and delight, a poignant sentiment of how Jesus shared his light with everyone around him. God asks us to share our own light with the world… “They will know we are Christians by our love” are the words of a traditional hymn, reminding us that if our actions do not show that we have repented by opening our hearts to God so that we might receive the abundant love God wishes to lavish upon us, then our words mean nothing.

Children have the abundant capacity to share their smiles, and tears, openly and compassionately. Their youthful hearts are not yet afraid with worry, they know that their God loves them unconditionally, as He loves everyone, and with ongoing catechesis they grow into God’s embrace more fully. Their faith will be tested; they will question it, they will doubt it, they will ignore it, and they may eventually walk away from it. Just like the disciples, we are a people with many questions and many doubts. The scripture today reminds us why we continue to believe in Jesus’ promise… this is our faith.

Blessed to visit some of the poorest dioceses of Puerto Rico last month, I was struck with wonder by the ‘enlightened hearts’ of the people I met. One couple in particular, Miguel and Julie, live with such a !erce faith, I caught a glimpse of God in their eyes…no joke. Julie, always holding a blue crystal rosary in her hand, and Miguel shared stories of survival post Hurricane Maria. They knew God was always present, but when Maria swept across their land, they became acutely aware that God was not only alive in their hearts, He was dancing, reminding them of the joy that is their faith, calling them to spread the Good News. Immediately after Maria left the island leaving inconceivable destruction, Miguel and Julie joined hands with their neighbors and started to rebuild in whatever way they could. They fed their neighbors with hot dogs, the only food they could !nd for two weeks, never running out, every day having just enough to reach those living on the margins who were con!ned to their homes, or what was left of them. I knew I was sitting in the midst of a power I have never felt before as I eagerly listened and absorbed every word Julie and Miguel expressed while they shared their stories. God’s presence was alive in them when they spoke, when they smiled at each other, and when they held hands; the experience of Maria only made them stronger. It’s as if these two children of God had traveled with the disciples long ago, holding the hands of Peter and John so they could be closer to Jesus when he said, “And behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” Their love for each other and for their God is steadfast…nothing, not even the strength of a Category 4 Hurricane, can stop it.

Today we celebrate Jesus’ ascension into heaven, and although he may not be physically visible, he is most certainly walking right next to us. If we allow ourselves to believe and to see through the blurriness and busyness of our lives, he is present, tugging at our hearts and telling us to open our eyes so that we can see the goodness around us…in disciples like Julie and Miguel. Faith is a wondrous gift we hold, allowing God to live fully within if we keep our hearts open. We don’t need to travel very far to hear the Good News because we are an Easter people, just like Julie and Miguel, eagerly awaiting Jesus’ return. May we strive to be present and listen to the words of wisdom and grace in the ordinary minutes of our days as we continue to build up the Kingdom of God.

Elderly people who have outlived their family and friends, sometimes even their own children, are left alone to face the loss of physical abilities and the challenge of tiring minds. Little Brothers matches elders with volunteers who help relieve isolation by providing transportation, visitation and friendship to elderly participants living in the city.

Volunteers also organize and deliver groceries from the pantry, cook and serve meals for holidays and celebrations of life, and accompany their elderly friends on outings to ballgames, museums and other attractions. Volunteer hours are flexible.

How long have you been singing at OSP? It will be 4 years as of St. Patrick’s Day (Fun fact: St. Patrick’s Day is also my birthday!)

Primary profession(s) or position(s) held: Freelance Musician -- I was a "ute performance major who started playing masses in college to brush up on my improv skills. After graduating I got a job as a vocal section leader at the MN’s St. Paul Cathedral where, after frantically teaching myself to read chant notation and undergoing what felt like a crash-course in Renaissance polyphony, I discovered that I love to sing. When I went back to school for my masters, I made a point of doing a minor in voice. At the moment, I sing at a number of Chicagoland churches, play in a classical "ute-guitar duo, teach private "ute and voice students, and music direct kids musical theater. I’m also looking forward to my $fth summer coordinating and co-teaching the Grant Park Music Festival’s Classical Campers program.

Favorite OSP piece of music: I love ringing in Midnight Mass with Cathedral Christmas. Listening to one of my colleagues sing Silence and the Sorry is one of my favorite parts of Holy Week. Singing the descant on “Receive Who You Are” is always fun!

What's top on your personal playlist? My “Baby’s First Year” book lists Bob Dylan and Shostakovich as my favorite musicians. That remains reasonably accurate, but my tastes have expanded a bit since then. For the past few weeks I’ve been indulging my fondness for early music and listening to Ensemble de Caelis’ Le Livre d’Alienor on repeat. My favorite set of songs has been Golijov’s Three Songs for Soprano and Orchestra ever since I skipped junior prom to hear Dawn Upshaw sing it two nights in a row. I also love the music of George Crumb - I will play Vox Balanae at the drop of a hat, and the house blasting Black Angels on Halloween is probably mine.

I joined OSP’s Immigrant and Refugee Rights Committee last summer. As a new person to Old St. Patrick’s Church I was energized by the committee’s volunteer focus. It centered on moving forward from committee discussions to taking action to support refugees, educating the congregation around relevant immigrant and refugee issues and making connections within the Archdiocese and the City of Chicago. As I sat down to write, I couldn’t help but reflect on the progress made by the committee in just nine months – this is truly the work of the Holy Spirit.

Over these months, Catholic Charities’ Refugee Resettlement Program brought to our attention three different opportunities to support refugee families. Through many of your generous donations and contributions to the Immigrant & Refugee Fund, OSP has supported and continues to support the following families and individuals: • The Ramos family from Columbia being accompanied by four dedicated committee members. The family receives ongoing support through regular home visits and generous donations– such as a bicycle for the eight-year-old son Luis and a sewing machine for Maria - as they adjust to life in Chicago.

• Emil and Benjamin, two young adult brothers from the Congo who grew up in a Rwandan refugee Camp. Emil and Benjamin are receiving visits twice a month from one committee member for language support and adjusting to the United States. Emil is working nights packaging food to support both of them. Meet the Anuar family

Then there’s the Anuar family, a Rohingya family of three from Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) who arrived several months ago. The Rohingya refugee crisis is a human rights and humanitarian disaster. There are more than 1.3 million refugees displaced due to religious persecution. This family making it to the United States is in itself a miracle.

Our Catholic Charities liaison, Brother Joe, and I met Nor Azimah at the family’s apartment. She is a beautiful woman and wore a colorful scarf that framed her face. I brought a basket with some groceries that can be used during the holy Islamic month of Ramadan, which is a time of fasting. Norhan, her husband, joined us for the last 30 minutes. I’ve worked with other refugee families that have just arrived. In comparison to those experiences, this family is much further ahead in their adjustment. I immediately wondered why, and then the answer unfolded.

Nor Azimah speaks level 8 English, which is the highest level for English as a Second Language (ESL). She learned English at the UN school in the Refugee Camp prior to coming to the United States. She is continuing her English training and takes a bus to lessons daily. She wants to continue to improve her English, get her GED and even mentioned a desire to work towards an accounting degree. Nor Azimah also shared she has one brother and sister who live nearby and another sister who is in Milwaukee. For a refugee family arriving to a new country, having family or friends nearby can be a significant support factor.

6 visit us at oldstpats.org Norhan works a food packaging company earning $12 an hour. He gets up at 5 a.m. and returns home around 7 p.m after putting in overtime. Norhan was a car mechanic in his home country, rights refugee & immigrant which is the work would like to do, but needs to earn a certification in order to do so in the U.S.

I expected the four year old son, Azimi Bin, to be in the apartment. Nor Azimah explained that Azimi Bin was away playing with his cousins! Azimi Bin loves soccer and will begin school in the fall. We hope to meet him during a future visit.

The message of this family’s experience to date is the importance of community and family support. Most refugee families are lost and overwhelmed during their initial months of resettlement. Often times, the journey to their new home is long, rigorous, and even dangerous. Having family available to help them settle in, adjust and understand things like public transportation or grocery shopping in their new country has provided a great support to the Anuar’s. Our Immigrant & Refugee Rights Committee is looking forward to expanding and building upon that support as we continue to work with them.

New Refugee Family Sponsorship Opportunity - Support Needed

Catholic Charities’ Refugee Resettlement Program has reached out to Old St. Pat’s Immigrant & Refugee Rights Committee about sponsoring another family! Last year when we were first contemplating the idea of sponsoring, Catholic Charities shared the story of a family of seven who fled the Congo in 2003. As we prepared for the family’s U.S. arrival for sometime in early September 2018, at the last minute their departure was cancelled due to a technicality with paperwork. Unfortunately, this happens more often than not and is part of the plight of refugees trying to relocate and start a new life. Thankfully, we recently learned that the family finally made their long awaited arrival to Chicago about a week ago!

The committee has plenty of volunteers but needs help raising $10,000 to officially sponsor and resettle this family.

Your support helps to provide: • The security deposit for housing • Assistance for the first 3 months of rent • Apartment furnishings • A Welcome Pack which includes items such as food, clothing, household, kitchen, and bedroom items; toiletries and hygiene items as well as transportation cards

Please consider making a donation to the Immigrant & Refugee Fund. With your generous donations, we can show yet another family what Old St. Pat’s radical hospitality is all about!

Recently Pope Francis said, “Today’s world seems to be increasingly !lled with indi"erence and cynicism. At the root of these attitudes is a lack of Hope which harms our relationships with each other and with God.” The most apparent solution is an infusion of Faith, Hope and Love. That has been and continues to be the primary goal of the Faith Foundation.

Over the past fourteen years the Faith Foundation has given out 233 grants totaling over $950,000. We, on the committee, realize that without your thoughtfulnesss and generosity none of this great work and blessings would have been possible. Be assured that every dollar that you contribute goes directly to inspire our young people.

Please join us on Monday, June 17th as we honor two sel%ess servants who bring hope and love to the many hearts they touch each day. This year’s recipients are Monsignor Ken Velo and Tim Bopp. These sel%ess servants are constant examples of how each of us can make a di"erence in our own fast paced world one person at a time. Remember no one can do everything - but everyone can do something.

We’re North Lawndale College Prep.

This year has brought a lot of change to Chicago. We have a new mayor in City Hall, just days into her administration, and a new governor in Springfield who promises to shake up education in the state.

One thing that has been constant is the impact that North Lawndale College Prep (NLCP) is having on our city. For 21 years, NLCP has been a beacon of light on Chicago’s west side. In 2018-2019, NLCP’s Peace Warriors have trained more than 120 students and teachers on how to interrupt violence in Together we rise. their schools and communities. NLCP’s Phoenix Hall has supported five students experiencing housing insecurity, providing them with residential services, food and counseling. And, at our two campuses, more than 150 scholars have completed their Senior Project, exploring issues that affect their community from the impact of sugary drinks on health outcomes to how male-dominated culture affects rates of sexual violence.
