NOTES AND EVENTS

LENTEN THEOLOGICAL SERIES
Dear Parishioners and Friends,
About 40 persons attended the Autumn Theological Series sponsored by St.
Hedwig Parish last October. Our parish is once again offering a Theological
Series during this season of Lent. Our own Fr. Gene Szarek, C.R., a professor at
Loyola University, is presenting the series. The sessions are being held in the
Parish Pastoral Center (former convent) on Hamilton Avenue, on Monday evenings,
from 7:45 to 8:30 p.m. The Autumn series was theological in nature, and this
Spring series is more pastoral. It is less formal, with more story-telling, and more
personal sharing of faith. All are cordially invited. Refreshments will be served.
March 20 – 25:
Parish Mission (Rev. Anthony Stephens, CPM):
No conference this week by Fr. Gene Szarek, C.R.*
Monday, 3/29:
“Catholic Marian Shrines” (This will be a Power Point
presentation on some important shrines.)
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN - WE ARE ONE BODY IN CHRIST
We extend a profound and prayerful Thank You to everyone who has

that you may use for your contributions to this Capital Campaign.

We want to extend a very special Thank You to all of our benefactors who
hearing about our campaign for the first time, have made pledges towards
our We Are One Body In Christ Campaign as well as to those who have
pledged additional monies to their original pledges. May God Bless You

FOCUS ON THE WORD
FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT
Once again we have a well-known and familiar Gospel story proposed for our
Lenten reflection. The account of the woman caught in the act of adultery is one
that invites us to be neither sinner or judge. She was found out-discovered-publicly
shamed. It happens to most of us at some point in our lives, usually when we are
young. We do something wrong, and get caught. And then we have to endure the
humiliation of our wrongful act being known by others. It is expected that we will
learn from our mistakes, but that doesn't always happen.
On the other hand, we're sometimes like the scribes and the Pharisees who bring
the accusation. We discover something we can hold against another. Occasionally
it is a secret knowledge that can fester in our hearts. At other times, it is a public
shame that we do not hesitate to propagate for our own advantage. For whatever
reason-vengeance, jealousy, mean-spiritedness-we want offenders to "get what's
coming to them."
Maybe in the end, the story of the woman caught in adultery is to invite us to be
neither sinner nor judge. Maybe the point of the story is to act like Jesus. Could we
put ourselves in his role? He extends mercy, but he also proposes expectations ("do
not sin anymore").
These past three Sundays before Holy Week have been about God giving us
time. The fig tree that was allowed to grow another year, the prodigal son who
was allowed to come back home, and the woman who was not condemned, were
all given another chance. We all want that second chance when we sin. This Sunday's Gospel would suggest if we're going to follow Christ, we have to give another chance to those who sin against us as well.

CONFIAR EN DIOS
CON TODO EL CORAZON
¿Cuál es la mejor manera de confiar
en Dios? Confiar en Dios significa creer
en Él. En el NO y en el SI. Algunos de
nosotros confíamos en Dios solamente
en el SI, cuando a Dios se le ocurre
decir NO por nuestro bien. Se decaen
y viven haciéndole preguntas: ¿Por
qué? El que confía en Dios celebra y
alaba a algunos de nosotros
confíanos en Dios solamente en el SI,
cuando a Dios se le ocurre decir NO
por nuestro bien se decaen y viven
haciéndole preguntas: ¿Por qué? El
que confía en Dios celebra y alaba a
Dios porque es mejor confiar en el
Dios Todopoderoso que confiar en El
hombre. En Dios hay esperanza, en
Dios hay resolución, en Dios hay
misericordia. Tenemos que creerle a Él
en la seguridad de que El se
encargara de mi vida entera, porque
Dios me ama de verdad.
REFLECCION
Porque te confundes y te agitas ante
los problemas de la vida Cuando
hayas hecho todo lo que esté en tus
manos para tratar de solucionarlos,
déjame el resto a mí… Cuando hayas
hecho todo lo que esté en tus manos
para tratar de solucionarlos, déjame
el resto a mí…...Si te abandonas en
mi todo se resolverá con tranquilidad
según mis designios. No te desesperes,
no me dirijas una oración agitada
como si quisieras exigirme el
cumplimiento de tu deseo. Cierra los
ojos del alma y dime con calma…
Jesús, yo confío en ti…
Evita las preocupaciones y angustias y
los pensamientos sobre lo que pueda
suceder después… No estropees mis
planes queriéndome imponer tus
ideas… Déjame ser Dios y actuar con
toda la libertad… Abandónate
confiadamente en mí. Reposa en mí y
deja en mis manos tu futuro… Dime
frecuentemente “Jesús yo confío en
ti” y no seas como el paciente que
le pide al médico que lo cure pero le
sugiere el modo de hacerlo… déjate
llevar en mis manos. No tengas
miedo… Yo te Amo.

V NIEDZIELA WIELKIEGO POSTU
LUSTRO DLA POTWORÓW
Jezus nie pochwalał ani uczynków syna marnotrawnego, ani czynów kobiety,
która cudzołożyła. Po raz drugi podkreśla, że o wiele niebezpieczniejsze jest
osądzanie grzesznika niż jego grzech. O wiele niebezpieczniejsze było
zgorszenie brata syna marnotrawnego, bo pozostawiało go poza domem ojca.
Równie niebezpieczne było oskarżanie cudzołożnej kobiety dla tych ludzi, którzy
ją w tym potępieńczym orszaku przywiedli do Jezusa, zamierzając ukamienować.
Rzucanie kamieniami świetnie przekłada się na obraz przerzucania na kogoś
własnych, ukrytych oskarżeń sumienia. Nazwalibyśmy to po łacinie proiectio.
Większość mężczyzn dość łatwo posądza kobiety o to, co w nich jest ukrytym i
wstydliwym problemem. Pewien psychiatra powiedział mi, że mężczyźni, którzy w
stosunku do kobiet nadużywają wulgarnych określeń odnoszących się do
seksualności, są upokorzeni przez własną pożądliwość i zwykle poważne grzechy
ukrywają w swym sumieniu. Ich sumienie jest krzywdzone, bo nie dopuszczają do
siebie wyrzutów sumienia, co prowadzi do obwiniania zewnętrznych obiektów.
Kiedy człowiek nie dopuszcza do siebie wyrzutów sumienia, ma już tylko jedną
drogę, by dać upust wewnętrznemu napięciu: obwiniać innych.
Kiedy na ulicy wulgarnie określają kobietę albo w ich spojrzeniu można wyczytać
słowo "dziwka", to nie jest to niczym innym, jak tylko źle tłumionym pożądaniem.
Jeśli człowiek nie chce przyznać się sam przed sobą do pewnych schorzeń
sumienia, staje się to wszystko albo obsesją, albo zacznie wyciekać na
powierzchnię świadomości w postaci rzutowania na inne osoby swoich stłumionych
wynaturzeń, w postaci projekcji. Przypisuje się wtedy in- nym dokładnie to, czego
w sobie samym nie chce się uznać. Inni stają się lustrami lub ekranami naszych
wewnętrznych potworów.
Historia z kobietą, którą pochwycono na cudzołóstwie, każe nam się zastanowić,
w jaki sposób owi mężczyźni przyłapali tę grzeszną kobietę? Dlaczego tak wiele
trudu włożyli w przyłapanie jej in flagranti? Szczególnie nam, mężczyznom,
powiedziałaby ta Ewangelia wprost w oczy: "To, o co głośno oskarżasz kobietę,
zdradza to, czego skrycie od niej pragniesz!".
