Fr. Bob’s Briefs
“We don’t need God.” That is the mindset of the world today. On second thought, it not just
the mindset of the world today. It’s always been part of humanity’s mindset following the
Fall. When Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, in effect, they were saying, “we don’t need God.” People have made for themselves a life without God. Humanity tries to push God out of their life.
Although this temptation to push God out of our life has been in the minds of humans
ever since the Fall, it has grown dramatically in society over the past few centuries. God, or
any references to God, has been consistently removed in our society and world. “We don’t
need God.” Bishop Robert Barron, my former seminary teacher, taught us how this mindset
developed beginning from the French Revolution. In modern thinking, God is not simply
absent, He is aggressively eliminated. The goal of modern thought is to cleanse the world of God and religion,
enabling people to let go of antiquated religion and faith in their lives and to live their lives in pursuit of tolerance. So, what do we see in our society and culture? Remove the Ten Commandments. No prayer in schools.
No public prayer. No references to God in public allowed.
Clear away the Nativity crèche. Can’t say Merry Christmas.
Removal of crosses.
With no God to define good and evil, people become
their own little gods, creating their own moral rules that
maximize this-worldly satisfactions. This is what we call
secularism. Secularism is, by definition, the affirmation of
this world and the rejection of the next. It is historically
rooted in a materialism that denies the existence of God, the
angels, the soul and the afterlife. Its fundamental "thisworldliness" is the source of secularism’s antagonism to
God and the Church.
“We don’t need God.” The desire to eliminate God
from our life causes us to live in the darkness of error. We
read in I John, “God is light and in him there is no darkness
at all” (1 Jn 1:5). If God is light, then life without God is a
life of darkness. God is light. If we eliminate God from
society and the world, then our society and world is covered
in darkness.
In the Gospel today, we hear how Jesus meets a
blind man named Bartimaeus along the road to Jericho. The
symbolic connection between Bartimaeus and Jericho is not
to be overlooked. In the Scriptures, Jericho was a symbol
for the world. Bartimaeus is a blind man living in the region
of Jericho. Bartimaeus was blind. He was a man living in
darkness. The darkness of Bartimaeus in Jericho represents
the darkness of the world without God. What does Bartimaeus do in today’s Gospel? He cries out many times,
“Jesus, son of David, have pity on me." The cry of blind
Bartimaeus is a cry from the darkness of the world “God, I
need you!” Bartimaeus acknowledges his need for God in
his life. After saying that he needs God, Jesus cures him and gives Bartimaeus sight. I found this beautiful
painting of Jesus healing blind Bartimaeus by an unknown Russian painter. What struck me first was its darkness. Dark like our secular world that tries to eliminate God. However, a bright ray of light comes from the
right, from the direction of Christ. The moment Jesus touches his life, Bartimaeus is filled with warm light,
the light of God. Let us not follow the example of many people in the world, including many “believers,” who
eliminate/push God out of their lives; people who don’t need God . Instead, let us follow the example of Bartimaeus, who cries out “Jesus, have mercy on me.” Let us cry out to God everyday, “Jesus, I need you in my
life!” St. Bede teaches, “therefore let us also imitate him, let us not seek for riches, earthly goods, or honors,
but for that Light, which we alone with the Angels can see, the way to which is faith.”
As we conclude October, please continue to pray one decade of the Holy Rosary everyday. Please
pray for all priests and for young people to be open to the vocation of the priesthood. May our Blessed Mother
Mary, Undoer of Knots, help us with her maternal care and St. Joseph pray for us.
Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!

YouthTouch - We had some very good news last week when
our proposal to the Goldenrod Corporation and their
YouthTouch program was accepted. YouthTouch is a complete
system of hands-on technology integration, for learners in
Grades 3-8. The program incorporates Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math, (STEM), into its activities YouthTouch
includes hardware, software, and instructional activities and
staff development.
Participation in the program costs just over $20,000.00. The
grant is matching and our portion would be $9,800.00. We are
hoping through additional fundraising and donations we will be
able to implement the program here at St. Joseph.
Girls Basketball - Our Girls Basketball Team continues to play
well though they hit a little bump in the road just losing Monday
evening and now have a record of 4 – 2.

Informes Padre Bob
"No necesitamos a Dios." Esa es la mentalidad del mundo actual. Pensándolo bien, no sólo es la mentalidad del mundo actual. Siempre ha sido parte de la mentalidad de la humanidad después de la Caída. Cuando Adán y Eva comieron del fruto del árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal, en efecto,
decían, "no necesitamos a Dios." La gente ha hecho por sí mismos una vida sin Dios. La humanidad
trata de sacar a Dios de su vida.
Aunque esta tentación de sacar a Dios de nuestra vida ha estado en la mente de los seres humanos
desde la Caída, ha crecido considerablemente en la sociedad durante los últimos siglos. Dios, o cualquier referencia a Dios, ha sido eliminada sistemáticamente en nuestra sociedad y en el mundo.
"Nosotros no necesitamos a Dios." El Obispo Robert Barron, mi maestro del seminario, nos enseñó
cómo esta mentalidad se desarrolló a partir de la Revolución Francesa. En el pensamiento moderno,
Dios no está simplemente ausente, es eliminado de forma agresiva. El objetivo del pensamiento moderno es limpiar al
mundo de Dios y de la religión, lo que permite a la gente a dejar al lado la religión anticuada y la fe en sus vidas y vivir
sus vidas en la búsqueda de la tolerancia. Entonces, ¿qué es lo que vemos en nuestra sociedad y cultura? Remover los
Diez Mandamientos. No hacer ninguna oración en las escuelas o en lugares públicos. No es permitido hacer referencias
sobre Dios en público. Deshacerse de los nacimientos navideños. No poder decir Feliz Navidad. Eliminación de cruces.
Sin Dios para definir el bien y el mal, las personas se convierten en sus propios pequeños dioses, creando sus
propias reglas morales que maximizan satisfacciones de este mundo. Esto es lo que llamamos el secularismo. El laicismo es, por
definición, la afirmación de este mundo y el rechazo de la siguiente. Históricamente tiene sus raíces en un materialismo que
niega la existencia de Dios, los ángeles, el alma y la vida futura.
Su fundamental "esta mundanidad" es la fuente de antagonismo
de la laicidad a Dios y a la Iglesia.
No necesitamos a Dios. "El deseo de eliminar a Dios de
nuestra vida nos hace vivir en las tinieblas del error. Leemos en
Juan: "Dios es luz y en él no hay tiniebla alguna" (1 Jn 1, 5). Si
Dios es luz, entonces la vida sin Dios es una vida de oscuridad.
Dios es luz. Si eliminamos a Dios de la sociedad y del mundo,
entonces nuestra sociedad y el mundo está cubierto de oscuridad.
En el Evangelio de hoy, escuchamos cómo Jesús se encuentra con un hombre ciego llamado Bartimeo a lo largo del camino a Jericó. La conexión simbólica entre Bartimeo y Jericó no
debe de ser pasada por alto. En las Escrituras, Jericó era un símbolo para el mundo. Bartimeo era un ciego que vivía en la región
de Jericó. También era un hombre que vivía en la oscuridad. La
oscuridad de Bartimeo en Jericó representa la oscuridad del mundo sin Dios. ¿Qué hace Bartimeo en el Evangelio de hoy? Él clama muchas veces, "¡Jesús, hijo de David, ten compasión de mí!"
El grito del ciego Bartimeo es un grito desde la oscuridad del
mundo: "¡Dios, te necesito!" Bartimeo reconoce su necesidad de
Dios en su vida. Después de decir que él necesita a Dios, Jesús lo
cura y le da a Bartimeo la vista. He encontrado esta hermosa pintura de Jesús que cura al ciego Bartimeo por un pintor ruso desconocido. Lo que me llamó la atención primero era su oscuridad.
Oscuro como nuestro mundo secular que trata de eliminar a Dios.
Sin embargo, un rayo de luz viene de la derecha, desde la dirección de Cristo. En el momento en que Jesús toca su vida, Bartimeo se llena de luz cálida, la luz de Dios. No sigamos el ejemplo
de muchas personas en el mundo, incluyendo muchos "creyentes", que eliminan o sacan a Dios de sus vidas; las personas que no necesitan de Dios. Al contrario sigamos el ejemplo de Bartimeo, que grita "¡Jesús, ten misericordia de mí!"
Imploremos a Dios todos los días, "¡Jesús, te necesito en mi vida!" San Beda nos enseña, "por lo tanto, nosotros también
imitemos a él, no busquemos por las riquezas, bienes terrenales, ni honores, sino por esa para luz, que sólo nosotros junto con los ángeles podemos ver, la manera que es la fe".
Al concluir octubre, por favor, continúen orando una década del Santo Rosario todos los días. Por favor, oren
por todos los sacerdotes y por los jóvenes que estén dispuestos a la vocación del sacerdocio. Que nuestra Santísima Madre María, Desatadora de nudos, nos ayude con su cuidado maternal y San José ruega por nosotros.
Vivat Jesus! ¡Viva Jésus!
Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza
Można powiedzieć, że naczelna zasada rządząca dzisiejszym światem brzmi: „My Boga nie
potrzebujemy”. Gdyby się jednak zastanowić nad tym głębiej, takie myślenie obecne jest u ludzi już
od czasów biblijnych. Kiedy Pierwsi Ludzie spożyli owoc z Drzewa Wiadomości Dobrego i Złego,
pokazali tym samym, że nie potrzebują Boga. Ludzie stworzyli sobie świat bez Boga.
Chociaż pokusa, aby usunąć Boga z codziennego życia, obecna jest u ludzi od zarania
dziejów, owa niebezpieczna tendencja przybrała na sile zwłaszcza w ciągu kilku ostatnich stuleci.
Jakiekolwiek wzmianki o Bogu są systematycznie usuwane z naszego świata. Mój były wykładowca
w seminarium nauczał nas, że ten światopogląd zaczął się rozwijać szczególnie po wybuchu
Rewolucji Francuskiej. Współcześnie, Bóg nie jest po prostu nieobecny – jest wręcz agresywnie
zwalczany. Celem współczesnych myślicieli jest eliminacja wszelkich form religii, aby wyzwoleni w
ten sposób ludzie mogli żyć w duchu tolerancji. Cóż wobec tego widać w kulturze i społeczeństwie? Usunąć Dziesięć
Przykazań. Zero religii w szkołach. Żadnych publicznych modlitw, ani publicznego mówienia o Bogu. Trzeba usunąć
żłóbek z Dzieciątkiem; nie wolno też mówić: „Merry Christmas”. Żadnych krzyży w miejscach publicznych.
Bez Boga definiującego co jest dobre a co złe, ludzie sami dla siebie stają „bogami”. Tworzą regulacje i ustawy,
których celem jest zwiększenie doczesnych zysków i rozkoszy.
To jest sekularyzm. Oznacza on afirmację doczesnego życia i
odrzucenie życia wiecznego. Historyczne korzenie sekularyzmu
tkwią w materializmie negującym istnienie Boga, aniołów i
świętych, koncepcji duszy oraz życia wiecznego. Fundamentalne
ukierunkowanie sekularyzmu na doczesność jest źródłem jego
opozycji do Boga i Kościoła.
„My Boga nie potrzebujemy”. Pragnienie
wyeliminowania Boga z naszej codzienności powoduje, że stale
błądzimy w ciemnościach. „W Nim było życie, a życie było
światłością ludzi, a światłość w ciemności świeci i ciemność jej
nie ogarnęła” (Ewangelia według św. Jana 1:4-5). Skoro Bóg jest
światłością, świat bez Niego błądzi w ciemnościach. Jeżeli
usuniemy Boga ze świata, będziemy żyć w ciemności.
W dzisiejszej Ewangelii, zmierzający do Jerycha Jezus
spotyka na drodze niewidomego mężczyznę imieniem
Bartymeusz. Zwróćcie uwagę na związek pomiędzy
Bartymeuszem a Jerychem. W Piśmie Świętym, Jerycho
symbolizuje świat. Bartymeusz to człowiek niewidomy, żyjący w
ciemnościach. Mrok, w jakim on żyje, jest metaforą świata bez
Boga. Bartymeusz krzyczy raz za razem: „Jezusie, synu Dawida,
zmiłuj się nade mną!” Krzyk niewidomego jest krzykiem świata
błądzącego w ciemnościach: „Boże, potrzebuję Cię!” Bartymeusz
głośno przyznaje, że potrzebuje obecności Boga w swoim życiu.
Jezus podchodzi do niego i przywraca mu wzrok. Przygotowując
dzisiejszy biuletyn, natrafiłem na ten piękny obraz pędzla
nieznanego rosyjskiego artysty. Widać na nim powyższą scenę –
Jezusa uzdrawiającego niewidomego. Najbardziej rzucił mi się w
oczy ciemny koloryt tego obrazu. Ciemny jak współczesny,
świecki świat, próbujący pozbyć się Boga. Z prawej strony
obrazu wszakże, widać smugę jasnego światła, pochodzącego od
Chrystusa. W chwili kiedy Jezus go dotyka, Bartymeusz zostaje
napełniony ciepłym światłem. Światłem Boga. Nie bądźmy tacy, jak wielu współczesnych ludzi (i niestety, wielu
współczesnych „wierzących”), próbujących usunąć Boga ze swojego życia. Niechaj wzorem będzie dla nas Bartymeusz,
krzyczący: „Jezusie, zmiłuj się nade mną!” Za jego przykładem, wołajmy tak do Pana codziennie. Anglosaski mnich,
Beda Czcigodny, naucza: „Naśladujmy Pana. Nie pragnąc bogactw, doczesnych dóbr ani sławy, lecz tylko tej Światłości,
którą jeno my wraz z aniołami ujrzeć możemy. Prowadzi do niej wiara”.
Kończy się październik. Odmawiajcie proszę jedną dziesiątkę Różańca codziennie. Módlmy się za kapłanów
oraz o powołania do stanu kapłańskiego. Święta Maryjo Rozwiązująca Węzły, miej nas zawsze w Swej opiece. Święty
Józefie, módl się za nami.
Vivat Jesus! Chwała Jezusowi!
