For the last two weeks I have been going to the
meatless Pasta dinners served by the Teen Youth
Group. Last week they served bow-tie pasta with
Vodka sauce. It was amazing! They also serve
pie from Baker’s Square for $1! Where can you
go and have pasta, salad, fresh baked bread and
butter and desert for $6? It costs less if you are a
senior. No cooking, helps the parish and delish;
what can you be waiting for? Hop down to
Liebrich Hall this Friday for a pasta dinner—you
will not be disappointed!

iego, gdyż Jemu
Czas Wielkiego Postu zachęca nas do wdzięczności za
bezcenny dar odkupienia. Tegoroczna dekoracja w naszej
świątyni przypomina nam, że „zbawienie przyszło przez
krzyż”. Krzyż jest obecny i w naszym życiu. Każdy z nas
codziennie tego doświadcza. Jeśli w dźwiganiu krzyża
zjednoczymy się z Chrystusem i powierzymy Mu nasze
zmartwienia, nasza droga będzie łatwiejsza.
Dlatego każdy może przypiąć do krzyża pod ołtarzem
symboliczną karteczkę ze swoimi bólami i kłopotami. Te
wszystkie przypięte intencje polecamy w każdej Mszy Św.
sprawowanej przy tym ołtarzu. Te kartki spalimy w ogniu
pobłogosławionym w noc Paschy, by dym z nich wzbił się
ku niebu i aby Bóg przemienił te troski w radość
zmartwychwstania.
„Akcja Miska Ryżu”:
Kolor fioletowy, który dominuje w kościele w
okresie Wielkiego Postu jest symbolem pokuty.
Pragniemy wrócić do Boga nie tylko poprzez
modlitwę, post, jałmużnę i dobre uczynki. Serdecznie
zapraszamy wszystkich do wzięcia udziału w akcji
„Miska Ryżu” organizowanej przez Katolickie
Stowarzyszenie Pomocy. Akcja polega na zbieraniu
funduszy w czasie Wielkiego Postu dla „ostatnich”
tego świata- dla ludzi biednych, głodujących, i
potrzebujących. Specjalne papierowe skarbonki i
ulotki na ten temat sa wyłożone przy wyjściach z
kościela. Skarbonki z nasza jałmuzna będziemy
zwracać w ciągu Wielkiego Tygodnia.
MEDYTACJA AD IEDZIEL Ą EWA GELIĄ
4 iedziela W. Postu – Miłosierny ojciec i nawrócony syn
W czwartą niedzielę Wielkiego Postu czytamy jedną z bardziej znanych opowieści ewangelicznych,
przypowieść o tematyce wielkopostnej: o grzechu, nawróceniu i Bożym miłosierdziu, czyli o synu marnotrawnym i
jego miłosiernym ojcu. Jest to przepiękna opowieść o historii dwóch synów, którzy się pogubili, ale ostatecznie wracają
do kochającego ojca, który z wielkiej radości organizuje wystawną ucztę.
Miłosierny Ojciec. Postać ojca w swej dobroci i miłosierdziu jest wręcz urzekająca i godna naśladowania dla
każdego z nas. Zwłaszcza teraz w Jubileuszowym Roku Miłosierdzia jesteśmy gorąco zapraszani do tego, aby
doświadczać osobiście tej dobroci i miłosierdzia Ojca Niebieskiego, zwłaszcza w Sakramencie Pojednania, by z kolei
okazywać miłosierdzie innym ludziom, pełniąc wspanialomyslnie uczynki miłosierdzia.
Syn marnotrawny. Początkowo syn ten bardzo się pogubił i zgrzeszył. Zabrał od ojca swoją część majątku,
która na niego przypadała i odszedł z domu ojca, żyjąc rozrzutnie i na własną rękę, co doprowadziło go do upadku.
Kiedy jednak dotknął dna postanowił wrócić z powrotem do domu swojego kochającego ojca. Ten młodszy syn może
być tutaj przykładem jak powinien się zachowywać każdy grzesznik, gdy sobie uświadomi całą swoją nędzę.
Postanawia wtedy wrócić do Ojca i wyznać Mu szczerze: „Ojcze, zgrzeszyłem przeciwko Tobie”.
Starszy syn. Niby był on z ojcem w jego domu cały czas, ale nie potrafił się z tego cieszyć. Był jakiś taki ciągle
sfrustrowany i zgorzkniały. Miał on za złe ojcu właśnie to, że jest tak bardzo miłosierny, że właśnie przebaczył bratu,
wielkiemu publicznemu grzesznikowi. Smucić się, gniewać się dlatego, że Bóg jest dla kogoś dobry, miłosierny – to
poddawać się uczuciom najzgubniejszej zazdrości i zawiści.
Każdy z nas może znaleźć w sobie coś z syna marnotrawnego, a także cos ze starszego syna, ale w tym czasie Wielkiego
Postu jesteśmy gorąco wezwani do naśladowania miłosiernego Ojca. Niech nam w tym pomogą nasze REKOLEKCJE
PARAFIALNE, na które serdecznie zapraszamy!
