Live the Liturgy - Inspiration for the Week If we continue to journey through life without genuine self-knowledge, without knowing how our relationships ought to be ordered and what truth is, the path we walk will always be only dimly lit. In fact, when we make the wrong choices or find ourselves forgetting who we are, we can easily find ourselves in darkness. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have Eternal Life." Jesus is the Light that came into the darkness. It is not enough for us to simply believe that Jesus is the Christ but we must live our lives in witness to this Truth. The choices we make and the priorities we establish are going to either speak of someone who really does not care, someone who is confused, or someone who is wholeheartedly convinced of God's love. Which are you?

3 Fourth Sunday of Lent We might think of candles and light more during the Advent season than during Lent, due to Advent wreaths, candles in windows, and the light of a star. But the real focus on light, as seen in this week's Gospel, is during Lent, when we prepare for Easter and Jesus' triumphant Rising from the dead. It is in this game-changing event that the Light of Christ destroys the power of darkness. If you have never been to an Easter Vigil, why not plan on attending this year? The theme of light is so prevalent, with processional candles everywhere and the new Paschal candle being lit for the first time. The candle is then plunged into the Baptismal Font before it is used for Sacraments, breaking into the darkness of our sin. Through these waters, men and women will be washed clean and the darkness they were born into will exist no more. Their blindness of Original Sin will be healed and they will not only be able to see, they will be new creations in Christ. This Lent, before it is all over, spend time in prayer and use a candle to focus. Reflect on your life and determine what areas you need the Light of Christ to shine. Then when Easter comes, know that the One Who is the Light is shining brighter than ever so that that you may be in darkness no more. Please Pray for...

4 IV Niedziela Wielkiego Postu Dzisiejsza Ewangelia przedstawia rozmowę Jezusa z Nikodemem. Rozmowa ta, zobowiązuje nas do uporządkowania naszego życia duchowego.
