LIST KSIĘDZA PROBOSZCZA

Drodzy Parafianie i Przyjaciele Kosciola

W Ewangelii z dzisiejszej II Niedzieli Wielkiego Postu czytamy: „To jest mój Syn umiłowany. Jego słuchajcie.” Bóg Ojciec prosi każdego z nas, aby słuchać Jego Syna. Przez całe nasze życie uczymy się słuchać.

Słuchaj ojca i matki, później w szkole słuchaj nauczyciela, słuchaj swojego przełożonego, słuchaj żony i męża, słuchaj przyjaciół jeżeli takich masz, słuchaj starszych, słuchaj mądrych ludzi itd. Czy rzeczywiście nauczyliśmy się słuchać, mądrzejszych, dobrych, doświadczonych ludzi. Boję się, że tę piękną formę komunikowania między sobą czyli „słuchanie” zamieniliśmy na szybkie informacje, które są nam sprytnie wciskane jako słowo i obraz w mediach społecznościowych i bez używania nazw w otaczającym nas świecie. Może nam grozić, że my nie słuchamy, ale wszystko jest nam bezkrytycznie wrzucane do naszej świadomości. Prawdziwe słuchanie buduje miłość i przyjaźń, mądrość i wiedzę, uczy rozpoznawać co jest prawdą a co plotką i kłamstwem. A zatem uczmy się słuchać. Powróćmy jeszcze do jednego zadania w Wielkim Poście: „...Jego słuchajcie.” W zamian Jezus obdarzy Cię wyjątkowymi darami z nieba.

Ks. PiԪr Rozek, Wasz Pastor

LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR

Dear Parishioners and Friends

In the Gospel of today's Second Sunday of Lent we read: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him. “God, the Father asks each of us to listen to His Son. Throughout our lives, we learn to listen. Listen to your father and mother, later at school, listen to your teacher, listen to your supervisor, listen to your wife and husband, listen to friends if you have any, listen to the elders, listen to wise people, etc. Have we really learned to listen, smarter, good, experienced people? I am afraid that we have turned this beautiful form of communicating with each other, ie

"listening", into quick information that is cleverly pressed into us as a word and image on social media and without using names in the world around us. We may be threatened that we do not listen, but that everything is uncritically thrown into our consciousness. True listening builds love and friendship, wisdom and knowledge, and teaches to recognize what is truth and what is gossip and lies. So let's learn to listen. Let us return to one more task in Lent: "... listen to him." In return, Jesus will give you unique gifts from heaven.

Fr. PiԪr Rozek, Your Pastor

HISTORY OF SALVATION

The first reading today continues the “history of salvation” narrative that we hear throughout Lent this year.

Today’s story was among the best-loved in the Jewish tradition (surely Joseph told the story to young Jesus as he formed him in the ways of their faith); the early fathers of the Church were very fond of it as a means of explaining the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. The overall tone of the first reading, psalm, and second reading seems a little incongruous with the dazzling Gospel, until we remember that the Transfiguration was placed as the Gospel for this Sunday precisely to remind us of the glory that awaits those who live faithfully and obediently to the will of God.

In the life of Jesus, it is a preview of the glory of his resurrection; for us it is a glimpse of the destiny of those who continue, as we heard in last week’s Gospel, to repent and believe in the Good News.

CMA Campaign begins this weekend. Our assigned goal for this year is $29,000.

As One Family in Mission Creating Pathways to Faith, The Catholic Ministries Appeal addresses our most basic responsibilities as followers of Jesus Christ: to be His desciples, to evangelize one another and to be compassionate to those in need. The Appeal provides critical funding for ministries that form our youth and adults in faith, support religious freedom initiatives, promote the sanctity of life at all stages, provide guality education to our young peopee , feed the hungry and foster vocations to the priesthood and diaconate.

The Appeal also directly aids our parish. All funds raised between 80-100% of a parish goal are returned to parishes for their own programs, services and unique needs. Any monies raised over 100% of our goal, we receive 80% back. We hope you will join us in giving to the Catholic Ministries Appeal to the best of your ability.

In orger to reach our goal, we are asking all parishioners to make a gift. Every donation makes a difference to the ministries and programs CMA supports. Please think of our formation programs, religious education programs, our baptismal and RCIA programs, hospital ministry before making your gift.

I thank all who have already responded to the Appeal. For those wwho have not yet given, please return your gift or pledge by using the envelope that was send to you in the mail. God Bless you all.

Fr. Peter

World Day of Prayer is celebrated on March 05, 2021.

The World Day of Prayer is an international ecumenical Christian laywomen’s initiative. It is run under the motto

“Informed Prayer and Prayerful Action,” and is celebrated annually in over 170 countries on the first Friday in March. The movement aims to bring together women of various races, cultures and traditions in a yearly common Day of Prayer, as well as in closer fellowship, understanding and action throughout the year.

Through the World Day of Prayer, women are encouraged to become aware of the other countries and cultures and no longer live in isolation. They are also encouraged take up the burdens of other people, to sympathize with the problems of other countries and cultures and pray with and for them. They are further encouraged to become aware of their talents and use them in the service of society. The World Day of Prayer aims to demonstrate that prayer and action are inseparable and that both have immeasurable influence in the world.
