  • Saint Paul Catholic Church & Preschool
    Saint Paul Catholic Church & Preschool Advent Highlights 2018 O Come, O Come Emmanuel! What image comes to your mind when you think of Advent? For many Catholics it is the gentle glow of an Advent wreath, the excitement of a child opening an Advent calendar, the profound beauty of a Jesse Tree, delighting in the company of family and friends, and reaching out to help those most in need. Advent truly is a season of joyful hope, pregnant expectation, and wondrous love. It is a time to enjoy quality time with those we love and reach out to those in need as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ our Savior, eagerly await His return in glory, and bask in His presence among us now. I would like to share seven things which will really help you to grow closer to the Lord: 1) Pray. If you are not already doing so, pray every day, even if only for a few minutes. 2) Read the Bible. Prayerfully meditate on a chapter of the Bible each and every day. 3) Go to Mass. If you are not already attending every weekend, do so! If you are, make a commitment to come to daily Mass, at least a couple of times a week. 4) Adore the Lord. We are blessed to have Eucharistic Adoration every weekday from 8am through 8:30pm and 24 hours on Friday. Pledge to adore the Lord each and every week ... God will certainly bless you! 5) Go to confession. We offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation every weekday at 11:30am and Saturdays at 10 and 4pm.

  • Nancy Buenger Abstract
    Nancy Buenger Abstract HOME RULE: EQUITABLE JUSTICE IN PROGRESSIVE CHICAGO AND THE PHILIPPINES ______________________________________________________________________________ The evolution of the US justice system has been predominantly parsed as the rule of law and Atlantic crossings. This essay considers courts that ignored, disregarded, and opposed the law as the United States expanded across the Pacific. I track Progressive home rule enthusiasts who experimented with equity in Chicago and the Philippines, a former Spanish colony. Home rule was imbued with double meaning, signifying local self-governance and the parental governance of domestic dependents. Spanish and Anglo American courts have historically invoked equity, a Roman canonical heritage, to more effectively administer domestic dependents and others deemed lacking in full legal capacity, known as alieni juris or of another’s right. Thomas Aquinas described equity as the virtue of setting aside the fixed letter of the law to expediently secure substantive justice and the common good. In summary equity proceedings, juryless courts craft discretionary remedies according to the dictates of conscience and alternative legal traditions—such as natural law, local custom, or public policy—rather than the law’s letter. Equity was an extraordinary Anglo American legal remedy, an option only when common law remedies were unavailable. But the common law was notably deficient in the guardianship of alieni juris. Overturning narratives of equity’s early US demise, I document its persistent jurisdiction over quasi-sovereign populations, at home and abroad. Equity, I argue, is a fundamental attribute of US state power that has facilitated imperial expansion and transnational exchange.

  • Misa De Gallo Or Misa De Aguinaldo – What’S the Difference?
    Misa de Gallo or Misa de Aguinaldo – What’s the difference? The Filipinos’ way of celebrating Christmas is made unique by their attendance at nine dawn masses preceding December 25, the Lord’s Nativity, which is the most joyous day in the Christmas calendar. Many call the mass misa de gallo and others call it misa de aguinaldo. Some observers say the cock also crows at midnight and therefore the Christmas eve mass should be called misa de gallo. Others say the mass speaks of the birth of Christ who is God’s greatest gift to man, so it should be called misa de aguinaldo. What’s the difference? And which is the correct term? Interchangeable Today, the terms are used interchangeably to refer to the dawn (or nine-day novena) masses or the Christmas Eve or midnight mass. Way back in 1565 when Jesus’ nativity was first celebrated as a feast, misas de aguinaldo (or gift masses) were said to start on December 16. These dawn masses coincided with the harvest season when farmers had to wake up at dawn. “As an accommodation, the masses were moved up to four o’clock in the morning,” writes Alejandro R. Roces, author of Fiesta. “So powerful is the tradition that to this day, urban residents attend misas de aguinaldo without questioning why they attend Mass at such an ungodly hour…In some communities, the parish priest goes as far as banging on each and every door…” he says. Towards the latter part of the 18th century, Spanish missionaries used to visit far-flung villages more often during the Christmas season than any time of the year.

  • Advent Reflection Day # 4, Wednesday, Dec 2
    H o l y N a m e C a t h e d r a l Advent Reflection Day #4 Wednesday, December 2 The year 2020 has been full of uncertainty, challenges and surprises. This Advent season is like the first Christmas, with elements of uncertainty in Bethlehem and the glorious Birth of the Son of God in a manger. Jesus came to heal our souls, live among us and live within us. His presence in our daily life provides us with the spiritual sustenance and courage in navigating the risks and severity of COVID-19. He inspires us to create innovative playbook for living through the pandemic. In today's Gospel reading, Jesus reveals his profound concern for the crowds of people, who are tired and hungry. The crowds have been following Him for days. Jesus said, "My heart is moved with pity for they have nothing to eat... I do not want to send them away hungry." With seven loaves of bread and a few fish, He gave thanks, broke and multiplied the loaves and fed the crowds. This personal benevolence manifest Jesus' all-consuming care for our physical needs as much as for the nourishment of our souls for eternal life. We surrender our trust in Him and know that He is there to reach out for our daily needs. Advent is about waiting in the dark until the Light of God springs forth. During Christmas, Filipino homes hang colorful lanterns called "Parol" providing streetlight for churchgoers attending "Simbang Gabi." "Simbang Gabi" is a Filipino Christmas tradition of consecutive nine dawn masses on the days leading up to Christmas.
