4 Dare to trust God with all your heart. Give Him the stuff you worry about, the clutter keeping you awake at night, the distractions throughout the day. Every care you carry steals moments of peace that come from God. He puts our life moments in order for a reason so we don t miss the present, that cries for a love that heals, a hope that holds, and a shelter that stays. The musical, GODSPELL, will be performed at St. John the Evangelist Church in Riverhead on Sunday, TODAY, March 24th at 2 PM. The performance is by the production company, Plaza Theatrical Productions. Tickets are $10.00

5 NABOŻEŃSTWO DROGI KRZYŻOWEJ cz.2 Pielgrzymi od pierwszych wieków chrześcijaństwa przemierzali drogę, którą Jezus odbył niosąc krzyż od Pałacu Piłata, gdzie został skazany na śmierć, aż na Golgotę, miejsce ukrzyżowania. Istnieją nawet przekazy na wpół legendarne, (tzw. apokryfy), że już Najświętsza Maryja Panna ze świętym Janem nawiedzali miejsca Męki Jezusa. Kult Chrystusa cierpiącego na krzyżu rozwinął się szczególnie w XI wieku. Samo nabożeństwo Drogi Krzyżowej w formie nam znanej dzisiaj jest związane z działalnością zakonu franciszkanów w Ziemi Świętej. Św. Franciszek żywił głębokie nabożeństwo do Jezusa Ukrzyżowanego. Jak wiemy, pod koniec swego życia został obdarzony stygmatami, czyli ranami podobnymi do Ran Chrystusa na krzyżu. Pobożność franciszkańska daleka była od intelektualnych rozważań, a raczej koncentrowała się na osobistym przeżyciu i na duchowym kontakcie ze Zbawicielem, który umarł i zmartwychwstał dla nszego zbawienia. W XIV wieku Zakon Franciszkanów powołał Kustodię Ziemi Świętej, która zaczęła otaczać opieka miejsca związane z życiem Jezusa w Ziemi Świętej. Dziś Franciszkanie strzegą takich sanktuariów jak Bazylika Grobu Świętego, Kościół Getsemani, Sanktuarium Biczowania, Góra Przemienienia, Pole Pasterzy w Betlejem i wiele innych. Od samego początku misją franciszkanów była służba przybywającym do Ziemi Świętej chrześcijanom. Franciszkanie zaczęli także propagować nabożeństwo Upadków Jezusa, podczas którego kontemplowano cierpienia, jakich Jezus doznał w czasie męki. Wkrótce z połączenia tego nabożeństwa i pielgrzymki śladami Jezusa powstała znana nam dzisiaj Droga Krzyżowa. Z czasem zaczęto budować kaplice w miejscach wskazywanych przez tradycję. Franciszkanie wystarali się od Stolicy Apostolskiej o odpusty dla tych, którzy będą odprawiać Drogę Krzyżową, co także wpłynęło na popularność tego nabożeństwa. Przeżycie pobytu w Ziemi Świętej było tak wielkie, że powracający do domu pielgrzymi pragnęli zachować te wspomnienia religijne, propagując to nabożeństwo w swoich krajach. Zaczęto więc budować tzw. kalwarie, czyli kaplice, mające odwzorować Jerozolimę, by także ci, któzy nie mieli możliwości dobyc pielgrzymki, mogli doświadczyć podobnych religijnych przeżyć postępując za Jezusem niosącym krzyż. Pierwsza Kalwaria powstała w latach w górach Sierra Morena w Hiszpanii. W XVI wieku Droga Krzyżowa stała się w Polsce popularnym nabożeństwem. Pierwsza kalwaria w naszym kraju zawdzięcza swoje powstanie wojewodzie krakowskiemu Mikołajowi Zebrzydowskiemu. W 1605 roku ów magnat zapoznał się z dziełem Chrystiana Adrichomiusa, który opisał Jerozolimę w czasach Chrystusa, uwzględniając takie szczegóły, jak odległosci pomiędzy Miejscami Świętymi. Zebrzydowski wraz z księdzem Feliksem Żebrowskim zaplanowali i zlecili wybudowanie kaplic. Odległości między poszczególnymi miejscami były zwykle dłuższe, ze względu na ukształtowanie terenu, ale Zebrzydowskiemu to nie przeszkadzało. Twierdził, że "za jeden krok Chrystusa winniśmy zrobić i dziesięć". Ilość stacji zmieniała się przez wieki. Obecnie mamy 14 stacji (czasami dodawana jest stacja XV; Zmartwychwstanie Jezusa ), z których 9 ma bezpośrednei odnienienie biblijne: stacje I, II, V, VIII, X, XI, XII, XIII i XIV. Modląc się przy Stacjach Drogi krzyżowej śpiewajc pieśni pasyjne, czytając fragmenty Pisma Świętego i rozważania, chcemy współczuć i adorować Jezusa Cierpiącego i Maryję, która współcierpiała ze swoim Synem. Chcemy być z naszym Zbawicielem, by mu towarzyszyć, pokutować za nasze grzechy, wypraszać dla siebie i innych łaskę nawrócenia. Śmierć Jezusa na krzyżu, będąca kulminacyjnym punktem Drogi Krzyżowej, budzi chrześcijańską nadzieję, że między ofiarą krzyża a historią ludzkości znajduje się głęboka relacja zbawcza (M. Popławski).

6 The Annunciation of the Lord Solemnity The Feast of the Annunciation, commemorates the visit of the archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary, during which he informed her that she would be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It is celebrated on 25th March each year. The east of the Annunciation is observed almost universally throughout Christianity, especially within Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, Catholicism, and Lutheranism. It is a major Marian feast, classified as a solemnity in the Catholic Church, a Festival in the Lutheran Churches, and a Principal Feast in the Anglican Communion. In Orthodox Christianity, it announces the incarnation of Christ. Two examples in liturgical Christianity of the importance attached to the Annunciation are the Angelus prayer (prayed at 6am, 12 noon and 6pm), and especially in Roman Catholicism, the event's position as the first Joyful Mystery of the Dominican Rosary. The fact of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is related in Luke 1: The Evangelist tells us that in the sixth month after the conception of St. John the Baptist by Elizabeth, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to the Virgin Mary, at Nazareth, a small town in the mountains of Galilee. Mary was of the house of David, and was espoused (i.e. married) to Joseph, of the same royal family. She had, however, not yet entered the household of her spouse, but was still in her mother's house, working, perhaps, over her dowry. And the angel having taken the figure and the form of man, came into the house and said to her: "Hail, full of grace (to whom is given grace, favored one), the Lord is with thee." Mary having heard the greeting words did not speak; she was troubled in spirit, since she knew not the angel, nor the cause of his coming, nor the meaning of the salutation. And the angel continued and said: "Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob forever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end." The Virgin understood that there was question of the coming Redeemer. But, why should she be elected from amongst women for the splendid dignity of being the mother of the Messiah, having vowed her virginity to God? (St. Augustine). Therefore, not doubting the word of God like Zachary, but filled with fear and astonishment, she said: "How shall this be done, because I know not man?"the angel to remove Mary's anxiety and to assure her that her virginity would be spared, answered: "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."In token of the truth of his word he made known to her the conception of St. John, the miraculous pregnancy of her relative now old and sterile: "And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth; she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren: because no word shall be impossible with God."Mary responded: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to thy word." The Annunciation is the beginning of Jesus in His human nature. Through His mother He is a member of the human race. If the virginity of Mary before, during, and after the conception of her Divine Son was always considered part of the deposit of faith, this was done only on account of the historical facts and testimonials. The Incarnation of the Son of God did not in itself necessitate this exception from the laws of nature. Only reasons of expediency are given for it, chiefly, the end of the Incarnation. About to found a new generation of the children of God, The Redeemer does not arrive in the way of earthly generations: the power of the Holy Spirit enters the chaste womb of the Virgin, forming the humanity of Christ. Many holy fathers (Sts. Jerome, Cyril, Ephrem, Augustine) say that the consent of Mary was essential to the redemption. It was the will of God, St. Thomas says (Summa III:30), that the redemption of mankind should depend upon the consent of the Virgin Mary. This does not mean that God in His plans was bound by the will of a creature, and that man would not have been redeemed, if Mary had not consented. It only means that the consent of Mary was foreseen from all eternity, and therefore was received as essential into the design of God.
