THE DESTINY OF ALL MORTAL FLESH
The celebration of today’s feast on a Sunday is
unusual on our Roman Catholic calendar. Our ob-
servance of the Lord’s Day is held in such high es-
teem that few other feasts replace it. Occasionally
there is a feast—usually of one of the saints—in
which the saving power of God in Christ is so
uniquely focused that the Roman rite deems it wor-
thy of celebration on the Lord’s Day. Today is such a
feast. Yet some are surprised at the brevity of the
dogma in its entirety: “We pronounce, declare and
define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the
Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary
having completed the course of her earthly life, was
assumed body and soul to heavenly glory.” The Ro-
man Catholic Church never defined any specifics or
particulars about the event itself. It is not in the
scriptures. There are no verifiable eyewitness ac-
counts. At its core, the dogma reveals in Mary the
destiny of all mortal flesh, and reinforces our
creedal belief in resurrection of the body. This feast
strengthens our faith, defined last week in Hebrews
as the realization of things hoped for. We find, in
Mary, that realization of what we all hope for, what
Paul today affirms: “In Christ shall all be brought to
life” (1 Corinthians 15:22). © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

 FROM FATHER RICH
There were more Gospels written than the four in the New Testament by
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John but the other Gospels were not accepted
into the New Testament by the early Church. Some of those other Gospels
state that Mary died and was buried near Gethsemane. Today there is a
Greek Orthodox Church near Gethsemane in which there is a tomb where it
is claimed Mary was placed after she died. However there is a stronger tra-
dition that Mary spent the last part of her life in Ephesus in Turkey and
died and was assumed into heaven from there. Two centuries ago the Ger-
man mystic and stigmatist, Sr. Catherine Anne Emmerich, in visions which
she received between 1818-1824, saw an image of Mary’s house on a hill
near Ephesus. The zeal of a French nun, resulted in the expedition that
located the remains of the house in 1891, on Mt. Nightingale very near ancient Ephesus, exactly where
St. Catherine Anne Emmerich said it was.
The shape of the house and all other details exactly matched the description of Sr. Catherine Anne
Emmerich, and it was the only stone house on the hill. Now that house on Mt Nightingale very near an-
cient Ephesus is restored and venerated as the house where Mary came to spend the last years of her life
to avoid the persecution of the Church in Jerusalem. It is in the care of the Franciscans and each year re-
ceives one and a half million visitors. The first church ever dedicated to Our Lady was built in Ephesus in
the second century.
Mary’s assumption into heaven reminds us that the next life is only a wave of the hand away from this
life, that there is only a veil between this life and the next. Our second reading today referred to all being
brought to life in Christ in their proper order. It is fitting that Mary was the first to be brought to life in
Christ sharing the glory of his resurrection being assumed body and soul to heaven. It is a reminder to us
of the glory that awaits each of us since we are all sons and daughters of God since our baptism.
I want to thank you for your continued generosity, especially last weekend, when we reached our
weekly goal. Thanks to your love and care for this church, we were able to fix the flat roof above my con-
fessional and we inspected roofs on all parish buildings. They need cleaning of gutters and minor re-
pairs, which we will do before winter. We sealed the parking lot off State Road and we will do the rest
after the carnival. The Old Church’s Annex and attic were cleaned. We started installing new windows in
the school building and we should be done by the beginning of the new school year. On the Feast of the
Assumption I entrust to Blessed Mother all of you and your families.
I invite all our younger brothers and sisters to join our Youth Group and come to the meeting on
Tuesday, August 17th at 6:00 p.m. in St. Albert’s Room, the Old Church.
God Bless! Fr. Rich

Nonperishable items may be placed in a box or bin on the left side of the vestibule at the main en-
trance of the Church.
Thank you very much for whatever you are able to give. “...God loves a cheerful giver”. (2 Cor. 9:7)

 OD KS. RYSZARDA
Kościół zawsze wierzył, że Maryja została nie tylko z duszą, ale i z ciałem
wzięta do nieba. Bóg nie pozwolił, żeby Ta, która w swoim łonie poczęła,
nosiła i urodziła Jezusa, Jego Syna, doznała skażenia ciała w grobie. Mocą
Chrystusowego Odkupienia Maryja cieszy się już obecnie wyjątkowym
przywilejem. Po zmartwychwstaniu Chrystusa w pierwszej kolejności zmart-
wychwstała Ona.
….. Znak Niewiasty obleczonej w słońce z księżycem pod stopami odnosimy
do Maryi Wniebowziętej, ale ta Niewiasta to równocześnie symbol Kościoła.
Wyniesienie do chwały Maryi niesie wielką nadzieję na wyniesienie do
chwały w zmartwychwstaniu wszystkich tych, którzy przynależą do
Chrystusa. Potwierdza się przy tym prawda o kolejności zmartwychwstania: Maryja już osiągnęła to,
do czego my dopiero pielgrzymujemy; Maryja już – my jeszcze nie. A jednak to wielka radość dla
dzieci widzieć szczęście swojej Matki i mieć nadzieję, że kiedyś otrzymamy udział w chwale, którą
Ona już cieszy się w niebie.
Wniebowzięcie Maryi jest świętem radości i nadziei, że krocząc z Maryją po drogach zbawienia, do-
jdziemy szczęśliwie do celu naszej wędrówki. Nie mamy przecież wątpliwości, że wyniesiona do nie-
bieskiej chwały nasza Matka nieustannie pomaga swym dzieciom dochodzić tam, gdzie będą z Nią
śpiewać na wieki: Uwielbiam Cię, raduję się Tobą, kocham Cię, Boże!
Pragnę podziękować wam za wasze hojne ofiary, szczególnie w ostanią niedzielę. Dzięki waszej
ofiarności mogliśmy w ostatnim tygodniu naprawić płaską część dachu na kościele przez który był
przeciek do mojego konfesjonału. Sprawdziliśmy stan dachów na wszystkich budynkach parafialnych
i stwierdziliśmy, że konieczne jest przeczyszczenie wszystkich rynien i przeprowadzenie drobnych
napraw. Część parkingu od strony ulicy State została pokryta cienką warstwą asfaltu, aby uchronić
nowy parking od szybkiego zniszczenia. Jak zauważyliście z pewnością rozpoczęliśmy instalację
nowych okien w naszej szkole i mamy nadzieję, że prace zostaną zakończone przed rozpoczęciem
nowego roku szkolnego. .
…..W Święto Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny pragnę zawierzyć Maryi, Matce Kościoła Was
wszystkich i Wasze rodziny. W sposób szczególny zawierzam Jej wszystkich pielgrzymów z naszej
parafii, którzy wzięli udział w pieszej pilegrzymce do Merrillville, Indiana. Obiecujemy im, że w
przyszłym roku weźmiemy udział nie tylko w Mszach Świętych na rozpoczęcie i zakończenie, ale
w całej pielgrzymce.
…...Pragnę gorąco zaprosić naszą młodzież na spotkanie Grupy Młodzieżowej we wtorek, 17-go
sierpnia w sali Św. Alberta. W czasie spotkania młodzież otrzyma specjalne koszulki i otrzyma in-
strukcje pomocy przy tegorocznym karnawale. Zapraszamy tych, którzy byli na pierwszym spotkaniu
i tych którzy chcieli by teraz dołączyć do Grupy Młodzieżowej w Parafii Św. Alberta.
…...W niedzielę, 12-go września o godzinie 5:00 po południu w hotelu Sheraton, 301 E. North Water
Street, Chicago, odbędzie się bankiet, z którego dochód będzie w całości przeznaczony na Polskie
Seminarium im. Biskupa Abramowicza w Chicago. W tym roku przybędzie do tego Seminarium co
najmniej czterech kleryków z Polski. Ja byłem pierwszym rektorem tego Seminarium i proszę was
o wsparcie tego dobrego dzieła. Po rezerwacje biletów w cenie $175.00 od osoby prosimy o kontakt
ze mną lub kancelarią parafialną. Szczęść Boże.
