Wesołych cwiat ~ Merry Christmas! Our
Pastor, Father Dariusz Gosciniak, Father Mark Zawadzki & Deacon Michael Rubitz would like to extend their sincerest wishes for a Blessed Christmas to all of our parishioners and their families. May Christ come to you
this Christmas with the gift of Love, the Blessings of Hope, and the promise of Peace.
Ks. Dariusz Gosciniak, Ks. Marek Zawadzki i Deacon Michael Rubitz serdecznie zycz¦
Wesołych i Błogosłwionych äwi¦t Bozego Narodzenia. Niech dziec¦tko Jezus obdarzy
nas wszystkich wszelkimi laskami.
W wigilię Bozego Narodzenia serca wszystkich chrześcijan w całym Kościele pełne są oczekiwania i nadziei.
Przygotowujemy się na przyjęcie Chrystusa, który przychodzi do nas jako Zbawiciel świata. Wiemy, ze niesie On z sobą
duchową moc, zdolną odnowić świat.Dzięki temu mamy pewność, ze nasza nadzieja nie jest płonna; sam Chrystus staje się rękojmią jej ostatecznego spełnienia. „ Bóg się rodzi,
moc truchleje” Słowami tej pięknej polskiej kolędy pozdrawiam rodaków w kraju i na emigracji. Zyczę, aby przezywanie prawdy o Bozym Narodzeniu zaowocowało w
zyciu kazdego i kazdej z was coraz większą dojrzałością wiary i bratniej miłości. Wesołych świąt i szczęśliwego
Nowego Roku! Swiety Jan Paweł II, Watykan, 26 grudnia 1995 r

Nativity of the Lord "And we saw his glory." Never before or since, in the entire course of human history, have men and women been able to gaze upon the face of God. But for a brief moment in time, God "became flesh and made his dwelling among us." This is
the remarkable event we celebrate today. On that first Christmas some two thousand years ago, the glory of God was revealed through the face of a child. As a tiny, helpless creature, completely dependent upon his mother to sustain him, this humble little baby came into the world. Yet this infant was "the only Son, God,
who is at the Father's side." Why is it that the eternal majesty of the triune God should choose to appear in such a simple way? How does
this humility reveal what St. Paul calls today, "the refulgence of [God's] glory, the very imprint of his being"? Today we celebrate a holy day that is unlike any other. Indeed we celebrate a BELIEF that is
unlike any other when we proclaim, as Christians, that God became man and walked in our midst. No other major world religion makes such an astonishing claim. And with this comes our
unique understanding of the humble nature of God. We believe in a God whose glory is not the glory of the world. His
majesty is not like that of earthly kings and rulers. Rather, we believe in a Heavenly Father who loves his little children enough to live among them. This Father takes joy in the joy of his children.
Jesus once remarked that just as we desire to give good gifts to our children, "how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him" (Mt 7:11). This Christmas,
may we remember that the greatest gift is Christ himself!

You enter Holy Cross
Church not as a stranger, but as a guest
of God. God is your heavenly Father. Come,
then, with joy in your heart and thanks on your lips into God’s presence, offering God your love and service. Be grateful to the strong and loyal ones who, in the name of Jesus Christ, built this house of worship, and to all who have beautified it and hallowed it with their prayers and praise. Ask God’s blessing on those who love this house of Faith which is the inspiration of their labor. Rejoice in the power of the Holy Spirit, and May God’s blessing rest on you, both on your
coming in and your going out!
W TYM DOMU JESTES GORACO WITANY! Jesli wchodzisz do kościoła Katolickiego, pamiętaj, że tu nie jesteś obcym, lecz gościem samego BOGA, który jest twoim niebieskim Ojcem.
Wchodzisz zatem do domu twojego Ojca. Okaż więc radość i wdzięczność za Jego tu obecność i ofiaruj Mu swą miłość,
wierność. Bądż wdzięczny dla tych, którzy w Imię Jezusa zbudowali ten DOM BOZY, oraz tych którzy upiększają go i uświęcają swoimi modlitwami. Proś Boga o błogosławieństwo
dla tych, dla których umiłowanie DOMU MODLITWY, stało się natchnieniem do pracy i poświęcenia. Ciesz się, bo błogosławieństwo Boże będzie z tobą w chwili wejścia i
wyjścia
Look at the Candy Cane what do you see? Stripes that are red like the blood shed for me. White is for my Savior who is sinless and pure!
“J”
is for Jesus My Lordthat’s for sure! Turn it around and a staff you will see Jesus my shepherd was born for Me!
Radość wielka
Bóg nie ogłasza radości z narodzin swojego Syna w Jerozolimie ani w świątyni.
Pomija elity społeczne i religijne tego świata, a idzie z Dobrą Nowiną do
najuboższych, pogardzanych. Pasterze byli wtedy traktowani jak
ludzie trzeciej kategorii,
nieczyści i grzeszni. I właśnie do nich przyszedł anioł z najważniejszą nowiną świata. Już większego newsa niż ten w historii ludzkości nie będzie: „Ogłaszam wam wielką radość, która stanie się udziałem całego ludu.
Dziś w mieście Dawida narodził się wam Zbawiciel”.
Dziś Bóg z tą wieścią przychodzi do Ciebie i do mnie.
Czy jest to najważniejsza wiadomość naszego życia?
Jezu, pragnę się dziś rozradować z Twojego przyjścia i z Twojego narodzenia dla mnie i we mnie.
