2 Page Two October 21, 2012 Spiritual Reflection ANNA S JOURNAL Anna called me today. She told me she went to the supermarket this morning and on her way to the check-out she had to pass by the flower case. The roses on display were simply gorgeous, so she decided to pick out a bouquet to take home. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw an older woman watching as Anna chose her flowers. So cheap! Anna was thinking to herself as she looked at her bouquet. The other woman was still standing there. Hard to pick, isn t it? Anna said. Oh, I cannot buy any, said the woman. Too expensive. I just come to look... so beautiful. This woman was grateful just to look at flowers she could not buy! So I said to Anna, Well, what did you do? Anna said, I divided my bouquet in half and said, Please share these with me. I know I am grateful right this minute for everything God has blessed me with. Yet it seems to me that as long as others do not have what I have, my gratitude alone is not enough. If others don t have good, wholesome food to eat, a home or even a roof over their heads, love and friendship, work that rewards them, health and the care to maintain it, then my gratitude is just the beginning. It s a door that opens to the next step. I can walk through the door, which means sharing what I have with those who have not, or I can close the door. Then my gratitude becomes a dead end and I m trapped in my own complacency. I called Jim and we re going to sit down after dinner tonight when the kids are in bed. It s time to review our giving again. SŁUŻYĆ INNYM Dzisiejsza Ewangelia przypomina nam, że w naszej ludzkiej naturze jest jakaś dążność do wywyższania sie, do wynoszenia się nad innych. Jakub i Jan zapomnieli o dziesięciu przyjaciołach i chcieli zająć w gronie Apostołów najważniejsze miejsce. Ambicja jest czymś dobrym, stanowi ona w pewnym sensie motor rozwoju człowieka, zmusza go do wzrostu. Ale ambicja ambicji nie równa. O wiele częstsza jest jednak ambicja chorobliwa, dążąca do ustawiania ludzi u naszych stóp. Smutna - gdy stanie w cieniu większego od siebie, radosna - gdy patrzy na jego upadek. W oczach tego świata wielkość człowieka jest zależna od ilości ludzi nad którymi panuje, którzy mu służą. W oczach Boga jest odwrotnie. Wielkość człowieka zależy od ilości ludzi, którym służy! Nie rządzenie, lecz służba decyduje o wielkość człowieka. Jest to jeden z najbardziej rewolucyjnych punktów Ewangelii, przekreślający naszą ziemską koncepcję wiekości człowieka. W nauce Chrystusa zawiera się przede wszystkim ogromna pociecha i nadzieja dla wszystkich, którzy służą. Czasem czynią to w wielkim upokorzeniu, pełniąc rolę koszy na śmieci. W domu żona, matka, czasem ojciec, pracując od świtu do nocy, słuchają tysięcznych wymówek i zbierają uwagi i niezadowolenia swoich najbliższych. A przecież to właśnie oni spełniają funkcje służebne wobec swojej rodziny. Postawa służebna jest trudne do przyjęcia z dwoch stron: po pierwsze - trudno się na nią zdecydować i praktykować ja, a po drugie - rzadko kiedy jest ona doceniana przez nawet najbliższe otoczenia nie mówiąc o kimś z zewnątrz. W pracy, osoba, ktora dobrze pracuje i spełnia właściwie swoje obowiązki, jest najczęściej oskarżana, chociaz wsyscy są winni oprócz niej. A ona wysłuchuje tego, cierpi a niejednokrotnie płacze z tego powodu. Podobnych sytuacji możnaby przytoczyć o wiele więcej. Ale to właśnie do nich odnoszą się Chrystusowe słowa: BŁOGOSŁAWIENI Oni będą kiedyś pierwszymi. U Boga bowiem role są najczęściej odwrócone. Ci, którzy poniżali swoich bliżnich będą musieli zając miejsce w kącie. Chrystus obiecał nam, że żadnego, nawet najmniejszego uczynku nie zostawi bez zapłaty. Warto więc zastanowić się nad tym, ilu ludzi nam służy, i jaki jest nasz do nich stosunek - Władcy, czy Współbrata? Copyright 2011, World Library Publications. All rights reserved. -ks. Idzi-

5 Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page Five ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO OFFICE OF THE ARCHBISHOP October 21, 2012 Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ: This year, the church s annual celebration of World Mission Sunday takes on special significance because it occurs during the opening weeks of the Year of Faith, while the Synod on the New Evangelization is taking place in Rome. These three moments are intrinsically connected because all of them are about faith: knowing our faith and sharing it so that we can bring it to bear on every society where the Church has taken root, as well as in places where Christ has yet to be proclaimed, or where faith in Him has grown cold. It is most fitting that the Sunday liturgy is the setting for our Archdiocesan celebration of World Mission Sunday, because it is participation in Sunday Mass that nourishes us, strengthens us and sends us out on mission to witness to Christ. Through the Church s proclamation of the Word of God and our reception of the Body and Blood of the Lord, we are fortified to live as missionary disciples and take up the work to which Christ calls us. Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, has reminded us that only Christ can truly fulfill the hopes of all humanity because He alone can heal, purify and fill all people with his presence. If others are to come to know Christ deeply, we must make the unfathomable riches of Christ known by bold and yet humble witness to the difference He makes in our lives. Our profound communion with Christ through our life in the Church should result in a deepening of faith that is transformed into love. The Pontifical Mission Societies support the missionary evangelization efforts that take place in 1150 dioceses throughout the world. Through their efforts the love of Christ touches the hearts of countless people in every region of the world. I commend the Pontifical Missions Societies to your prayers and ask you to be generous in your support for their missionary outreach. By participating in the missionary work of the Church, my prayer is that each of us will grow in our ability to proclaim Christ by our lives. Thank you for your concern for the missions. May the Lord abundantly bless you and those you love. Sincerely yours in Christ, Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I. Archbishop of Chicago
