THE YEAR OF FAITH

OCTOBER 2012 - NOVEMBER 2013

"They called the Church together and reported what God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith..." (Acts 14:27).
In the Acts of the Apostles, we learn that God has opened the door of faith for the early Church. But did you know that God has opened the door of faith for each one us and he invites us to step through the threshold into a deeper relationship with him. The upcoming Year of Faith is an opportunity for every Catholic to turn towards Jesus Christ, encounter him in the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist and rediscover the Faith and Church. With his Apostolic Letter of October 11, 2011,Porta Fidei (Door of Faith) , Pope Benedict XVI declared that a "Year of Faith" which began on October 11, 2012 and will conclude on November 24, 2013. October 11, 2012, the first day of the Year of Faith, was the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council... (Vatican II) the feast of Blessed John XXIII who conceived and convened the Vatican II and also the twentieth anniversary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. During the Year of Faith, Catholics are asked to study and reflect on the documents of Vatican II and the catechism so that they may deepen their knowledge of the faith. The upcoming Year of Faith is a summons to an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the One Savior of the world (Porta Fidei 6). In other words, the Year of Faith is an opportunity for Catholics to experience a conversion to turn back to Jesus and enter into a deeper relationship with him. The Door of Faith is opened at ones baptism, but during this year Catholics are called to open it again, walk through it and rediscover and renew their relationship with Christ and his Church.

"The 'door of faith' (Acts14:27) is always open for us, ushering us into the life of communion with God and offering entry into his Church."
---Pope Benedict XVI, Apostolic Letter Porta Fidei for the Indiction of the Year of Faith.

What is the Year of Faith?

At certain times in the history of the Church, popes have called upon the faithful to dedicate themselves to deepening their understanding of a particular aspect of the faith. In 1967, Pope Paul VI announced a Year of Faith commemorating the 19th centenary of the martyrdom of Sts. Peter and Paul. The 1967 Year of Faith called upon the Church to recall the supreme act of witness by these two saints so that their martyrdom might inspire the present day Church to collectively and individually make a sincere profession of faith. The upcoming Year of Faith declared by Pope Benedict XVI is a summons to an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the One Savior of the world (Porta fidei 6). In other words, the Year of Faith is an opportunity for Catholics to experience a conversion to turn back to Jesus and enter into a deeper relationship with him. The pope has described this conversion as opening the door of faith (see Acts 14:27). The door of faith is opened at ones baptism, but during this year Catholics are called to open it again, walk through it and rediscover and renew their relationship with Christ and his Church.

The Year of Faith begins in October 2012 with a Synod on New Evangelization.

What is a synod?

A synod of bishops is a gathering of bishops, selected from different areas of the world, who meet with the pope to discuss questions pertaining to the activity of the Church in the world. This meeting of bishops helps to foster a closer unity between the bishops and the pope, and provides counsel to the pope. Pope Benedict XVI has situated the Synod on the New Evangelization (October 7-28) at the beginning of the Year of Faith (October 11).

How are Year of Faith and New Evangelization linked?

The New Evangelization is a call to each Catholic to deepen his or her own faith, have confidence in the Gospel, and possess a willingness to share the Gospel. The New Evangelization is first and foremost a personal encounter with Jesus Christ; it is an invitation to deepen ones relationship with Christ. It is also a call to each person to share his or her faith with others. The Year of Faith, just like the New Evangelization, calls Catholics to conversion in order to deepen their relationship with Christ and to share it with others.

AO DE LA FE OCTUBRE 2012 - NOVIEMBER 2013

...Convocaron a los miembros de la Iglesia y les contaron todo lo que Dios haba hecho con ellos y cmo haba abierto la puerta de la fe
(Hechos de los apstoles 14:27)
En los Hechos de los Apstoles, nos enteramos de que Dios ha abierto la puerta de la fe de la Iglesia primitiva. Pero saban usted que Dios ha abierto la puerta de la fe de cada uno nosotros y nos invita a pasar por el umbral hacia una relacin ms profunda con l. El prximo Ao de la Fe es una oportunidad para que todos los catlicos a volverse hacia Jesucristo, el encuentro de l en los Sacramentos, especialmente la Eucarista y redescubrir la fe y la Iglesia.

En su Carta Apostlica del 11 de octubre de 2011, Porta Fidei... ("Puerta de la Fe"),

Pagina 2

el Papa Benedicto XVI declar que un "Ao de la Fe", que comenz el 11 de octubre de 2012 y concluir el 24 de noviembre de 2013. 11 de octubre 2012, el primer da del Ao de la Fe, fue el quincuagsimo aniversario de la apertura del Concilio Vaticano II ... (Vaticano II) la fiesta del Beato Juan XXIII, que concibi y convoc el Vaticano II y tambin el vigsimo aniversario del Catecismo de la Iglesia Catlica. Durante el Ao de la fe, los catlicos se les pide a estudiar y reflexionar sobre los documentos del Concilio Vaticano II y el catecismo para que puedan profundizar su conocimiento de la fe. El prximo Ao de la Fe es una "llamada a una conversin autntica y renovada al Seor, nico Salvador del mundo" (Porta Fidei 6). En otras palabras, el Ao de la Fe es una oportunidad para que los catlicos a experimentar una conversin - para volver a Jess y entrar en una relacin ms profunda con l. La "Puerta de la Fe" se abre en su bautismo, pero durante este ao los catlicos estn llamados a abrir otra vez, caminar a travs de l y redescubrir y renovar su relacin con Cristo y su Iglesia. "La 'puerta de la fe" (Acts14: 27) est siempre abierta para nosotros, inaugurando nosotros a la vida de comunin con Dios y ofreciendo la entrada en su Iglesia."
--- El Papa Benedicto XVI, Carta Apostlica Porta Fidei para la convocacin del Ao de la fe.

Qu es el Ao de la Fe?
En ciertos momentos de la historia de la Iglesia, los papas han pedideron a los fieles que se dedican a profundizar su comprensin de un aspecto particular de la fe. En 1967, el Papa Pablo VI anunci un Ao de la fe que conmemora el 19 centenario del martirio de los santos. Pedro y Pablo. El ao 1967, de la fe llama a la Iglesia a recordar el supremo acto de testimonio por estos dos santos para que su martirio podra inspirar a la Iglesia hoy en da de forma colectiva e individualmente hacer una sincera profesin de fe. El prximo Ao de la Fe declarado por el Papa Benedicto XVI es una "llamada a una conversin autntica y renovada al Seor, nico Salvador del mundo" (Porta fidei 6). En otras palabras, el Ao de la Fe es una oportunidad para que los catlicos a experimentar una conversin - para volver a Jess y entrar en una relacin ms profunda con l. El Papa ha descrito esta conversin como la apertura de la "puerta de la fe" (Hechos 14:27). La "puerta de la fe" se abre en su bautismo, pero durante este ao los catlicos estn llamados a abrir otra vez, caminar a travs de l y redescubrir y renovar su relacin con Cristo y su Iglesia.

El Ao de la fe comienza en octubre de 2012 con un Snodo sobre la Nueva Evangelizacin.

Qu es un snodo?

Un snodo de los obispos es una reunin de obispos, seleccionados de diferentes reas del mundo, que se renen con el Papa para discutir cuestiones relativas a la actividad de la Iglesia en el mundo. Esta reunin de obispos ayuda a fomentar la unin estrecha entre los obispos y el Papa, y proporciona consejo al Papa. El Papa Benedicto XVI ha situado el Snodo sobre la Nueva Evangelizacin (octubre 7-28) en el inicio del Ao de la Fe (11 de octubre).

Cmo Ao de la fe y vinculados Nueva Evangelizacin?

La Nueva Evangelizacin es un llamado a cada catlico a profundizar su fe propia, tener confianza en el Evangelio, y poseen una voluntad de compartir del Evangelio. La Nueva Evangelizacin es ante todo un encuentro personal con Jesucristo, sino que es una invitacin a profundizar nuestra relacin con Cristo. Es tambin un llamado a cada persona para compartir su fe con otros. El Ao de la fe, al igual que la Nueva Evangelizacin, llama a los catlicos a la conversin con el fin de profundizar en su relacin con Cristo y compartirla con los dems.

Jesus showed through both his teachings and example that true greatness in Gods Kingdom comes through humbly serving the needs of others. Jesus demonstrated this clearly and definitely by freely offering his life for the sake of our salvation. As Good Stewards our lives are transformed. Let us follow our Lords example so that we might be found worthy of the Kingdom.

Thank you! The Council of Catholic Women would like to acknowledge all those who have baked, shopped, donated items and worked at our recent Holiday Fair. It was a great success and we appreciate the wonderful turn out after the Masses. Our parishioners helped CCW raise funds for charitable causes and supported parishioners businesses as well.

Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizens

The moral imperative to respond to the basic needs of our neighbors - such as food, shelter, health care, education, and meaningful work - is universally binding on our conscience - along with these imperatives to serve the poor and those in need is the call to respect all life, from the womb to the tomb. Abortion, euthanasia, death penalty, bigotry are all forms of violence against human life. Catholics should seek the best methods to respond to these needs. Those who support only some of these needs, yet at the same time gloss over their support of other actions give in to intrinsically evil actions and do not demonstrate a conscience well-formed by Catholic/Christian faith or human reason.

Whether you will be hospitalized for a few days or whether your surgery is same-day surgery, give one of our priests a call PRIOR to your surgery, so that anointing can be given at a time when you are less stressed. Ask one of the priests following Mass, or call the parish office at 630-668-0918, ext. 600, and set a time to come in BEFORE your surgery for anointing.

If you lost an item in any of the parish buildings, please check the Lost and Found basket in the entry way to the parish office.

Our priests are always available to make hospital visits. However, you or a family member must notify the St. Johns parish office of the confinement in the hospital. Also, remind the hospital that the name of the patient must be shown on the visitation sheet which is given to the priest when he makes his calls. We want to make sure our parishioners needs and requests are met, so please remember this when entering the hospital.
