During the weekend of December 8-9, our parishes will be conducting the Retirement Fund for Religious collection. This annual appeal benefits 31,000 elderly Catholic sisters, brothers, and reli-gious order priests—women and men who have consecrated their lives to serving God and the Church.
During the 2018 World Day for Consecrated
Life, Pope Francis remarked, “There is no growth without roots and no flowering without new buds.” This analogy has certainly been born out within the life of the Church in the United States. Senior reli-gious were the roots that established Catholic schools, hospitals, and social services agencies—allowing generations of Catholics to flourish. Today, the example of older religious inspires younger members to persevere in mission and ministry.
Yet many religious communities struggle to
provide for aging members. Most elder religious served for small stipends, leaving a large gap in retirement savings. Rising health care costs and decreased income compound the struggle to pro-vide adequate care. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious provides vital funding for medi-cations, nursing care, and more. It also helps reli-gious congregations implement long-range retire-ment strategies, even as they continue to serve the People of God.
Since the inception of this annual event
nearly 30 years ago, the Archdiocese of Chicago has been one of the most generous donors to this collection for those who have labored long and hard in the vineyards of the Lord. I recognize this is but one of numerous worthy causes in need of assis-tance; I ask simply that you give what you can. In thanksgiving for their faithful service, please join with me in supporting the Retirement Fund for Reli-gious and in praying for God’s blessing on our na-tion’s elderly religious.
Retirement Fund for Religious Estimadas hermanas y hermanos en Cristo, Durante el fin de semana del 8 y 9 de diciembre, nuestras parroquias estarán realizando la colecta para el Fondo para la Jubilación de Relig-iosos. Esta campaña anual beneficia a 31,000 hermanas, hermanos y sacerdotes de órdenes religiosas católicos de la tercera edad — mujeres y hombres que han consagrado sus vidas a servir a Dios y a la Iglesia. Durante la Jornada Mundial de la Vida Consagrada 2018, el papa Francisco señaló: “no hay crecimiento sin raíces y no hay florecimiento sin brotes nuevos”. Esta analogía ha nacido ciertamente dentro de la vida de la Iglesia en los Estados Unidos. Los religiosos de edad avanzada fueron las raíces que establecieron es-cuelas, hospitales y agencias de servicios sociales católicos; permitiendo que florecieran gen-eraciones de católicos. Hoy en día, el ejemplo de los religiosos de la tercera edad inspira a miembros más jóvenes a perseverar en la misión y ministerio. Sin embargo, muchas comunidades religiosas tienen dificultades para proveer a sus miembros que envejecen. La mayoría de los religi-osos de edad avanzada sirvieron por pequeños estipendios, dejando una gran brecha en los ahorros de la jubilación. Los crecientes costos del cuidado de la salud y disminución en los ingresos agravan la lucha por proveer un cuidado adecuado. Su donación al Fondo para la Jubilación de Religiosos provee fondos vitales para medicinas, cuidado de enfermería y más. También ayuda a las congregaciones religiosas a implementar estrategias de jubilación de largo plazo, incluso mientras continúan sirviendo al Pueblo de Dios. Desde el inicio de este evento anual hace casi 30 años, la Arquidiócesis de Chicago ha sido uno de los donantes más generosos a esta colecta para aquellos que han trabajo mucho y duro en las viñas del Señor. Reconozco que esta es una de las muchas causas nobles que necesitan ayuda, simplemente pido que den lo que puedan. En agradecimiento a su fiel servicio, por favor acompáñenme en apoyar al Fondo para la Jubilación de Religiosos y a orar por la bendición de Dios sobre los religiosos de la tercera edad en nuestra nación.
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Sincerely in Christ,
Card. Blase J. Cupich

THE PROMISE OF JUSTICE
We are in fairly good company when we ask God for justice. Often enough we hear and agree with the lament of the people of Israel asking God why the wicked prosper. However, when we call out for justice, we usually want someone to get his or her comeuppance. God’s justice is something other than this, of course. God’s justice comprises a wonderful rightness between God and human-kind. Today, Jeremiah looks ahead to a time when a just one will sprout from the shorn-off stump of Jes-se of the house and family of David. Life was not fair in Jeremiah’s time. Israel’s kings held the promise of God’s fidelity, but it was difficult to see how God’s promise could be realized through them. Nevertheless, Jeremiah lifts his voice and an-nounces that the Promised One will come. Luke’s Gospel echoes that announcement, and Paul is filled with sturdy encouragement. And so Advent begins with a promise. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
