just a thought A dash of perspective in a dark hour By Anand Giridharadas | Originally published on The.Ink on January 15 ,2021 Intro by Keara Ette, Director of Ministries at Old St. Pat's
Since long before we, at Old St. Pat's, began rolling out a new Vision in the summer of 2020, I have felt both exhilarated and terrified about the whole venture. I have been working at Old St. Pat's for 13 years, and the idea of having something that helps guide the 'who do we want to be?' as well as the 'how do we want to get there?' of doing church was a dream come true. And yet, with this bold vision of "leading a movement of change marked by radical inclusivity, exquisite worship, and transformative kinship," I had a deep sense that we were stretching ourselves in a direction and toward a goal that would most certainly include stumbling, falling, and rising only to do it over and over again. And all of that is not pretty, and it is not comfortable. For even as we were finalizing the images for our web page and bulletin for the week of Pentecost (May 31, 2020), the stark reality of the racism, injustice, fear, division, and the psychology of scarcity still deeply rooted in our country's history (and therefore, too, its present) began to rage once again.
Author and Time Magazine Editor-at-Large, Anand Giridharadas, wrote something recently that felt both deeply true and deeply hopeful. And perhaps his message might also be one that can give us courage and fortitude as the Old St. Pat's community strives to be leaders in a critical movement and at a critical moment in our church and our world.
It’s scary out there right now. It’s going to be scary for some time to come. What has been unleashed, what has been revealed, is ugly. It is what makes democracies die.
In the despair, it is easy to lose perspective. I certainly do all the time. But from time to time, I step back and try to remember where we are as a country on the arc of things.
And I see then that this is both a very dark time and, potentially, a very bright time. It's important to hold these truths together.
When I look down at the ground of the present right now, I feel depressed. If I lift my head to the horizon, I see a different picture. Look at India and China. I love India. My parents are from India. India is never going to be a nation of immigrants. It's never going This is not the chaos of the beginning of something. This is the chaos to be a country of people from all the world. It can barely get unity of the end of something. with people just from India. China is never going to be a nation of immigrants. No shade. That's just not their history. It's not who they Because the 40 years of this plutocratic takeover — of the ideology are. that said if you're torn between doing what's good for money and what's good for people, always do what’s good for money; these We are falling on our face because we are jumping very high right stories about lazy workers and welfare queens; and any number of now. We are trying to do something that does not work in theory. other fraudulent tales that were meant to justify life in the Hamptons — if I allow myself to feel this way on a good day, it all actually feels To be a country of all the world, a country made up of all the like it's burning down. countries, a country without a center of identity, without a default idea of what a human being is or looks like, without a shared And on matters of race and identity, likewise, the Trump era doesn't religious belief, without a shared language that is people's first have the crackle of a launch. It has been a mourning. A mourning for language at home. And what we're trying to do is awesome. It is white power.

A mourning for an era in which simply to be a man, and not necessarily an especially capable one, could get you And, therefore, that we are having insurrections on the Mall or ahead of other people.

Awakenings | Sunday, January 24, 2021 awakenings By Bernadette Gibson Mark 1: 14-20 | On the shores of the lake, in an inconceivable time, the first community of disciples of Christ were born…
This week as we unfold the Gospel of Mark, we join the story just after the baptism of Jesus and he has then spent 40 days in the wilderness, being tempted by sin. And now, after that experience, he is ready to begin his public ministry. Jesus comes back out of the wilderness and is now in public circulation again. According to Mark, the ministry of John the Baptist is completed, and now it’s time for Jesus to begin His is what got us here – but to incorporate the essential lessons mission. And so Jesus appears and gives his first public words of these difficult days into our lives. On the shores of the lake, in ministry, which set up everything that he would stand for, in an inconceivable time, the first community of disciples of “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; Christ were born. We have been asked to anchor our lives repent and believe in the good news.” My first thought is in the solid foundations of faith - so that we might face life that the word “repent” needs some serious restoration. We’ve courageously and look beyond appearances but with the made it a scary word. Something that resembles “feeling eyes of faith. Perhaps it is fitting that this week’s Gospel from bad.” And, probably, the worse you feel, the better. However, Mark asks us to reflect on our mission. that is not what the word “repent” means. It means, quite literally to turn around. When you’re alone and walking down As a church we are praying, planning and creating a dark and scary road, turning around is not a bad thing. tentative plans for reopening our doors to the future. We It’s a welcome thing. “Repent” is part of the poetry of exile, are encouraged to look to the horizon and begin to think something that the Israelites knew a lot about. Repenting, about re-entry into life. I imagine many of you right now when in exile, meant going home. I think if we in the church are thinking about the first thing you want to do after this talked more about “going home” than “feeling bad,” the lockdown for the Coronavirus has been lifted. What you church would be a healthier and holier place. choose to do will be an indication of what you value most about your freedom.

It may not cure or solve our anxiety these realities as they repair their nets.

Gratitude cannot save us from sickness or And, Jesus telling us that we can go home, and that God suffering, but it can change how we experience sickness, will welcome us back, and throw His arms around us is such and it may change our relationship to suffering. In her book, good news. And, that’s what Jesus tells us to believe in. At The Wisdom Jesus, Cynthia Bourgeault clarifies this. "I am the beginning of the Gospel of Mark Jesus tells his listeners not saying that suffering exists in order for God to reveal something wonderful. When we’re able to take in the fact Godself. I am only saying that where suffering exists and is that Mark is a pandemic and wartime Gospel - written either consciously accepted, there divine love shines forth brightly." in the lead-up-to or in-the-wake-of the destruction of the If we understand our baptism, like I think Jesus did, that's Jerusalem and the Temple… Jesus’ words are also balm to what we're called to do: to be priests, prophets, and the souls who were frightened for their future.

Bernadette Gibson is the Director of Pastoral Care at Old Saint It has been a long ten months. I’m finding it hard to muster Patrick’s Church. the energy to face the immediacy of the now. But we must muster the energy. The pandemic has provided an inconvenient excuse to sit quietly and focus in prayer about the directions of our lives. As we embark on this new year, we are challenged, not to return to normal - remember, “normal”

The mission is to bring together mission sunday more than 350 neighborhood stakeholders, including community-based organizations, business owners, elected officials, church and school leaders, individual citizens, and supporters from outside the community. Together, they devise and carry out a comprehensive Quality of Life Community Development Plan for the neighborhood.
NLCCC members are all volunteers and only one paid staff member who envision a healthy, vibrant community with a diversified and innovative economy, a competitive workforce, engaged citizenry and an infrastructure that supports long term, sustainable growth. They move the community forward by implementing progressive strategies related to the quality of life issues of: - Arts and Culture - Housing - Capacity - Public Safety - Communication - Technology - Economic Development - Transportation and Infrastructure - Education and Youth Development - Sports and Recreation - Greening and Open Space - Workforce Development - Health and Wellness
While hard at work addressing these issues, oftentimes with Old St. Patrick’s members at the table, great strides have been made. Some highlights from the NLCCC’s more recent efforts are:
The Transportation Committee relaunched the previously cancelled Ogden 157 bus route to ensure residents have adequate transportation to school, home and work. The Housing Committee secured lots to build the first 100 of 1,000 new affordable and high quality homes for community members. The Workforce Development Committee managed renovations of a vacant bank to be a hub for workforce and financial programming via the Sweet Beginnings social enterprise, other new social enterprises, pop-up retail spaces for local entrepreneurs, a rooftop apiary, a Peace Garden, a café, community meeting and event spaces and a Wintrust Bank branch. A COVID-19 and social uprising response gave rise to a North Lawndale Helpline to connect neighborhood residents to resources of nutrition, PPE, utility bill assistance and help with other basic needs. The Sports and Recreation Committee kept over 1000 neighborhood young people engaged and active through virtual athletic programming during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
And there was much more.
Despite the health, social and economic setbacks of 2020, the NLCCC continues to galvanize the community’s 35,000 residents and lead them toward a vibrant future. North Lawndale seeks to be a model community of revitalization, proactive community organizing, collegiality and justice.

4 visit us at oldstpats.org The mission of Unlocking Communities, a 501(c)3 organization, is to equip entrepreneurs
with the education and tools to sell sustainable products that unlock economic, social, and mission sunday environmental transformation in their communities. Unlocking Communities is currently working in Haiti with plans to expand to other countries in the coming years.
Haiti faces some of the worst natural disasters, deforestation, and shortage of resources on the planet. 51% of citizens do not have access to clean water and the island is over 98% deforested.
The in-country team provides direct support to Haitian community partners, often schools, churches, and community centers, that identify entrepreneurs to receive business training that prepares them to sell water filtration systems and clean-burning stoves. The community partner is provided with an initial inventory of products in the form of a loan, which is repaid as entrepreneurs collect payments from the products they sold. The entrepreneurs also educate their neighbors and community members about the health (WaSH education) and economic benefits that come with these products and facilitate financing to make them affordable. This cyclical and regenerative process provides not only income for daily living expenses, but also a profit for continued reinvestment in new inventory.
Since our incorporation in late 2018, Unlocking Communities has trained over 150 entrepreneurs, sold over 1,500 water filtration systems, 400 clean-burning stoves, reaching 7,500+ community members. Additionally, in 2020 we distributed over 1,800 gallons of locally made soap and 600 handwashing stations to help slow the spread of COVID. Our goal is to have launched 60 community businesses by the end of 2021 helping 50,000 people have access to clean water and better sanitation and resulting in $5 million in economic savings from not having to buy bottled water or charcoal.
Josh Goralski, longtime member of Old St. Pat’s is our founder and CEO. We are blessed to have the support and expertise of so many in the Old St. Pat’s community.

“When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way...” – Jon 3:10
Last week’s readings called us to listen to God as servants. Today we are reminded to change our ways and act, guided by God, bringing justice to the oppressed. As we start with a new administration, use this time to contact them and ask that they remove barriers to Family-Based Immigration and prioritize family unity. We are one family, under God, and we should speak out for those who are denied dignity. “Your ways, O LORD, make known to me; teach me your paths, guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior.” Psalm 25:4-6.

Richard Moore Founder & CEO of Children in Crossfire Join Us For a Free Video Conversation Learning to See Again - but Differently Friday, February 5, 2021 Program Goes Live @ 12 Noon Registration Required
Within the space of one month in 1972, the family of young Richard Moore in Derry, Northern Ire- land, would endure two family tragedies. One of them would profoundly change ten-year-old Richard’s life forever. As Richard grew up, finished school, and entered the business world, he began to recognize the conditions that had enabled him to rebound: not only a loving family, but also a quality education and a supportive community offering him countless opportunities to grow and to succeed. In his mind’s eye, he began to see all the children across the world who were not so lucky. In his 30s, he sold his business and began the international charity Children in Crossfire to help them. Since 1996, Moore has assisted thousands of children in Tanzania and Ethiopia, focusing his atten- tion on early childhood education, so vital in a region where many children do not start their educa- tional journey until age 8 or 9, having missed out during their most important developmental years. Recognized across the world for his charity work, Moore made a friend in the Dalai Lama, who calls him “my hero.” Join us as Richard Moore tells his extraordinary story of what he has been able to see with the eyes of his heart and faith.
