Shortly before the Jewish feast of Passover, Jesus announced to his disciples that the
"hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified" (John 12:23). The Son of Man is a prophetic title for the Messiah recorded in the prophecy of Daniel (see the Book of Daniel 7:13-14). In Jesus' time the Jewish people were looking for a Messiah who would set them free from the oppressive rule of Rome. Jesus came to set people free from the worst oppression of all - the tyranny of endless slavery to sin, Satan, and death. Jesus came to bring us into a new covenant relationship with God that would not end with death but lead to eternal life. Jesus described his willingness to go to the cross as his "hour of glory" (John 12:23) when he would fulfill his Father's will and accomplish the mission entrusted to him. Jesus saw his death on the cross as triumph over the powers of sin and Satan's forces of darkness. The real enemy that Jesus came to overcome was Satan who tempts the human race to rebel against God and his commands in order to create their own destiny through sinful pride and disobedience. Jesus took our sins upon himself and nailed them to the cross to set us free from condemnation to death and destruction, and the eternal consequence of separation from God.
Na krótko przed żydowskim świętem Paschy Jezus oznajmił swoim uczniom, że
„nadeszła godzina, aby został uwielbiony Syn Człowieczy” (J 12,23). Syn Człowieczy to proroczy tytuł Mesjasza zapisany w proroctwie Daniela (patrz Księga Daniela 7: 13- 14). W czasach Jezusa Żydzi szukali Mesjasza, który uwolniłby ich spod ucisku Rzymu.
Jezus przyszedł, aby uwolnić ludzi od najgorszego ucisku ze wszystkich - tyranii i
nieskończonej niewoli grzechu, szatana i śmierci. Jezus przyszedł, aby wprowadzić nas w nową relację przymierza z Bogiem, która nie zakończy się śmiercią, ale doprowadzi do życia wiecznego. Jezus opisał swoją gotowość pójścia na krzyż jako swoją „godzinę chwały” (J 12,23), kiedy miał wypełnić wolę Ojca i wypełnić powierzoną mu misję.
Jezus postrzegał swoją śmierć na krzyżu jako triumf nad mocami grzechu i siłami
ciemności Szatana. Prawdziwym wrogiem, którego Jezus przyszedł pokonać, był Szatan, który kusi ludzkość do buntu przeciwko Bogu i Jego przykazaniom, aby przez grzeszną dumę i nieposłuszeństwo kreować własne przeznaczenie. Jezus wziął na siebie nasze grzechy i przybił je do krzyża, aby uwolnić nas od potępienia, śmierci i zniszczenie oraz od wiecznej konsekwencji oddzielenia od Boga, który pragnie obdarzyć każdego
człowieka prawdziwą miłością, prawdą i pokojem.

Pope Francis Announces Year of St. Joseph
One hundred and fifty years ago, Blessed Pope Pius IX declared St. Joseph as “Patron of the Universal Church.” To mark the 150th anniversary of this occasion, Pope Francis has proclaimed a Year of St. Joseph from Dec. 8, 2020, to Dec. 8, 2021.
In the Pope’s proclamation of the Year of St. Joseph, Patris corde (“With a father’s heart”), he drew connections between St. Joseph and the humble people working through- out the pandemic. “People who do not appear in newspaper and magazine headlines, or on the latest television show, yet in these very days are surely shaping the decisive events of our history.” The Holy Father notes, “how many fathers, mothers, grandparents and teach- ers are showing our children, in small everyday ways, how to accept and deal with a crisis by adjusting their routines, looking ahead and encouraging the practice of prayer. How many are praying, making sacrifices and interceding for the good of all.”
St. Joseph was a man of sacrifice and prayer for the good of the Holy Family. Even today, he continues to inspire others to reach out to those in need, especially during this difficult time.

“St. Joseph, pray for us!”
Year of St. Joseph Prayer….
Glorious Patriarch Saint Joseph, whose power makes the impossible possible, come to my aid in these times of anguish and difficulty. Take under your protection the serious and troubling situations that I commend to you, that they may have a happy out- come. My beloved father, all my trust is in you. Let it not be said that I in- voked you in vain, and since you can do everything with Jesus and Mary, show me that your goodness is as great as your power.
Amen
