O Immaculate Virgin, mother of the true God and mother of the Church! You, who revealed your clemency and your pity to all those who ask for your protection, hear the prayer that we address to you with filial trust, and present it to your Son Jesus, our sole Redeemer. Mother of Mercy, teacher of hidden and silent sacrifice, to you we dedicate on this day all our being and all our love. We also dedicate to you our life, our work, our joys, our infirmities, and our sorrows. Grant peace, justice, and prosperity to our people, for we entrust to your care all that we have and all that we are, our Lady and Mother. We wish to be entirely yours and to walk with you along the way of complete faithfulness to Jesus Christ and his Church: hold us always in your loving hand. Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of the Americas, we pray to you for all the bishops, that they may lead the faithful along paths of intense Christian life, of love and humble service of God and souls. Grant to our homes the grace of loving and respecting life in its beginnings, with the same love with which you conceived in your womb the life of the Son of God. Blessed Virgin Mary, protect our families, so that they may always be united, and bless the upbringing of our children. Thus, Most Holy Mother, with the peace of God in our conscience, with our hearts free from evil and hatred, we will be able to bring to all true joy and true peace, which come to us from your son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

What is "CRHP" or Christ Renews His Parish?

Water for Life

Christ Renews His Parish is designed to give both the individual and the parish community an opportunity for renewal and growth in spiritual life. As we grow in awareness of God's love and respond to His call, we grow together as a parish family.

Most people know that 75 percent of the world’s surface is covered by water, but few people know only 2.5 percent of that is fresh water. Seventy five percent of freshwater is in the ice caps. Humans are left with less than one percent of the world's water to use for drinking, washing, irrigation and manufacturing.

A History of Christ Renews His Parish: "CRHP" began as a "renewal" weekend at Holy Family Parish in Cleveland in 1969. The members at Holy Family found the enthusiasm and positive response to this initial weekend overwhelming. This process helped their faith community understand in a new and more alive way that Jesus Christ was its center. Now, some 30 years later, Holy Family has celebrated its 80th "renewal" weekend and over 3,000 men and women from their parish have participated. During the 1970's, news of "CRHP's" success at Holy Family motivated other parishes throughout the Cleveland Diocese to adopt the program. Through the 1980's and 90's "CRHP" spread to 750 parishes in 62 dioceses across 27 states and received the recommendation of the renewal office of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. Today, "CRHP" continues to promote the development of vibrant faith communities and full service parishes by transforming the hearts of committed believers. CRHP is about Renewal! "Christ Renews His Parish" is an effective spiritual renewal process, which calls parishioners to experience personal conversion and Christian community in the environment of their own parish. The secret of the "what" is its simplicity. The program is based on the basic Christian principles of evangelization, reconciliation, catechesis, initiation, formation, community, and personal vocation. As the program manual states: "However sincere and deep our initial commitment to our faith, it requires by its very nature, continuous renewal and deepening. It must be a moment-to-moment process of saying, "yes" to God." Christ Renews His Parish is Christ Centered. With Christ in the lead, our journey will go down the correct path. It is a program designed to bring members of a parish together in Christ. The emphasis during the weekend is on small group participation. The process is centered around witnessing by presenting team members. Discussion and sharing is enjoyed by all participants. "CRHP" is a response to the need that every follower of Christ has to experience "church" and to experience "being church" and finally, to experience "being church for others". The primary challenge is taking your next first step into the rest of your life in Christ. The weekend is that first step and He has his arms open to welcome you. We have two weekends a year at Christ the King parish: 1 for men and 1 for women.

UPCOMING RETREATS: Women's Weekend: October 2-3, 2010 Men's Weekend: October 16-17, 2010 If you would like to speak with someone who has attend a previous CRHP Retreat, please contact Roberta Beckman 630-629-1717 x0, Fr. Jarosz 630 396-6079

The United Nations Water Department reported in 2006 that almost 20 percent of the world’s population lack access to safe, potable water. This means, "one billion people do not have clean drinking water and 2.6 million people are without any sanitation systems." A rapid growth in population and the movement of people from the rural to the urban areas has put enormous strain on what little water resources are available. The human population is increasing so fast, that in 24 years, the world will need to produce 55 percent more food than it does at present. In order to produce that much food, more water for irrigation is needed because agricultural irrigation consumes 70 percent of all freshwater. This is but a small glimpse of the whole picture. Catholic Relief Services (CRS,) in partnership with the National Council of Catholic Women, has created a new DVD, called Water for Life. The nineteen minute DVD shows the broad picture of water use in the United States, then moves to Malawi, Africa and Brazil, South America. Christine Pawlowski, CCW International Affairs Chairman, will show this DVD at the CCW meeting, October 19 at 7 o’clock in the East Room. Please plan to attend this enlightening, interesting evening. Refreshments will be served.

Thank You from CCW Our Council of Catholic Women would like to thank everyone who helped with our medicine collection and Undy Sunday. The response for the expired/ unused medications was our largest. The medical missions will be so grateful and everything usable will be sent to those who have no access to any medication. Your generous response to Undy Sunday will be kept here in Lombard to help low-income families.

Sacristan Ministry: The Liturgical “Behind the Scenes” Note Saturday Date Change It takes much “behind-the-scenes” work to ensure our liturgies are smooth and prayerful. One of the ministries that is vital to this is the ministry of the Sacristan. We are thankful to all who have helped fill this ministry in the past: Ditas and Arsenio Alzona, June Carlson, Matt Novak, Andy Tuszynski, and Mary Nicholas. Their continued service to the parish is greatly appreciated. Working behind the scenes, sacristans prepare the worship space before and after each liturgy. A sacristan typically arrives 20-30 minutes before mass and readies the church by performing a variety of duties, from lighting candles and preparing for baptisms, verifying that lectors, altar servers, and extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion are present. Sacristans remain after the liturgy to ready the church for the next celebration. Though most liturgical ministries serve the assembly, the role of the Sacristan is to minister to the presider and deepening your knowledge of the Catholic traditions, while helping to ensure that the liturgy proceeds smoothly. We are currently in need of more sacristans here at Christ the King, for weekday and weekend masses. If you or anyone you know is interested in this ministry, please come to a training session for new and existing sacristans on Wednesday, October 21, at 9:00am, OR Saturday, October 31, at 11:00am. If you have any questions, please call Bill Runge at 630.396.6075, email him at [email protected], or stop by after any weekend mass.

A Collection of Thoughts and Prayers As part of the 50th Anniversary celebration of Christ the King Parish, members of the Council of Catholic Women have published a booklet of our parishioner’s favorite prayers and thoughts.

Every Child Brings Us God’s Smile + Respect Life 2009-2010 The birth of one’s first child is the event most Americans cite as the “high point” of their lives. New parents are understandably awed by the miracle of their new son or daughter. They are awed by a love that stretches their hearts almost to bursting, and awed (and a little terrified) by their responsibility to protect and nurture this precious life entrusted to them. Pope Benedict’s observation quoted above—that every child brings us God’s smile—reflects this truth and much more. Even on a literal level, it’s clear that children are bubbling wellsprings of joy amidst the serious and sometimes stressful world of adults. Who is not moved by a toddler’s giggle-fit? Given a reasonably secure and caring environment, young children have an extraordinary capacity for love and laughter: one researcher found that the average American child laughs 400 times a day; the average adult, only 15. On a deeper level, every little boy and girl is a unique and irreplaceable creature designed by the God of love, his personal gift that comes to us bearing his image and likeness. While biological parents assist in God’s creative act, God contributes the child’s eternal soul—his or her intellect, consciousness, will, and the capacities to reason and love, to hope and aspire. Children also inspire the self-giving love of family members, increasing the happiness and holiness of all. Human beings have always sensed these truths, but the advent of contraception and the legalization of abortion brought about a widespread disdain for unborn children. In the United States over one million boys and girls are killed by abortion every year. The bodies of many aborted children have been used in fetal research. Fertility clinics manufacture, freeze, and discard human embryos like biological products, and some scientists create and destroy little human beings for embryonic stem cell research. While many today readily acknowledge the dignity and value of human life after birth, they seem to think that ascribing dignity and value to lives before birth is a throwback to outmoded religious beliefs, having no place in our modern scientific world. Yet it is science that is proving them wrong. Science shows us the humanity and personhood of children in the womb who, far from being inert and passive tissue, actively direct their own development. A new human being comes into existence at conception, when a sperm cell enters an ovum, resulting in a one-celled individual called a zygote. Even before the first cell

division at about 24 to 30 hours after conception, the zygote’s 23 chromosomes from mom and 23 from dad already contain the baby’s unique DNA—the entire genetic blueprint and instructions for developing from a single-celled person to an adult. Within minutes of conception, the zygote sends out chemical signals to change its outer protein layer to block other sperm from entering. When only a few hours old, the zygote sends out “ovum factor” to signal the mother’s immune system not to attack. The protein “early pregnancy factor” (EPF), which suppresses the mother’s immune response, is detectable in her blood before her child is 24 hours’ old. About 6 days after conception the embryo’s outer cells bind to the lining of the mother’s womb and release enzymes that digest and separate maternal cells to permit implantation, so the child can begin receiving nutrition from the mother.

toes. Already 75% of fetuses show righthandedness, and the rest are lefties or have no preference. By 9 weeks, the unborn child begins thumb -sucking. He can grasp objects, open and close his jaw, sigh, and stretch. At 10 weeks nails and fingerprints begin to emerge in patterns that will uniquely identify this child throughout life. By 11 weeks the fetus can produce a variety of facial expressions, including a smile. Between 12 and 16 weeks fetuses often touch their mouths, up to 50 times an hour. Teeth begin to grow by 13 weeks. Beginning at 14 weeks behavioral differences between boys and girls appear: female fetuses move their mouths much more frequently than males.

Between 4 and 5 weeks after conception, the child’s brain develops at an incredible rate, and the stomach, esophagus, pancreas, intestines, kidneys, and even reproductive organs are all developing. Between 5 and 6 weeks the embryo begins to move spontaneously and reflexively—e.g., in response to touch the embryo will withdraw.

Long before the completion of full-term pregnancy at 38 weeks from conception, the unborn child is listening and learning from the external environment. Newborns prefer their mother’s voice to any other; they prefer familiar lullabies heard before birth to those heard only after birth.

2009-10 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal Diocese of Joliet The Catholic Ministries Appeal supports God’s work all over this diocese.
