Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus You re standing at the side of a grave with the other mourners. Perhaps the cemetery is Calvary...perhaps All Saints. Suddenly you see Jesus carrying His Cross.right past where you are standing. You look at the coffin suspended over the freshly dug hole in the cold ground.then you look at Jesus. The priest sprinkles the coffin with Holy Water. Jesus is now staring at you well, as much as possible...his eyes are swollen nearly shut. You look back at Him, then glance again at the hole in the ground. People pray aloud with the priest. Jesus is still staring at you...you can see Him from the side of your eyes. You pray with the others. The mourners place flowers atop the casket and slowly disperse. You are alone there with the casket, the hole in the ground, your flower and Jesus nearby still staring at you. You reach into your pocket and pull out your handkerchief...to dry your tears. Without giving it any thought you first wipe your tears... then approach Jesus. You wipe His tears. Together you walk back up to the casket to place your flower, both carrying the cross. The flower is placed on the casket. Both you and Jesus cry again. This time He wipes away your tears. You open your eyes and He is nowhere to be seen. The casket also is gone, already in the ground. Growing on top of it is a flower. The sun shines on your face. Your tears are dried. Could it be Easter?

3 PASTORAL MESSAGE APRIL 16 KWIETNIA 2006 HEADLINES I am a news junkie. The morning paper is an essential part of my morning routine, and the 24-hour news channels frequently play on the TV. My radio is tuned almost exclusively to the local NPR station. I just gotta know what s going on! Likely not everyone is as avid as this, though some are perhaps more so. But at a certain level, all of us are seekers. We want to know what is happening around us, and how it all fits together, whether we get our news from the PD, the UB, CNN or FOX or maybe at Karb s, the beauty shop, chain , or the bleachers at the Little League games. When we look at the headlines, or listen to the latest gossip, the news is usually not so good. If this were all we had, we should remain gloomy indeed. But the final chapter of everything has already been written not in ink, but in the Blood of the Lamb. And the theme of that final chapter: GOD WINS! This is what we celebrate during Easter. There is a certain way of going about in the world, and through faith we have a decision to make. How are we going to live? Do we believe that sin and darkness are all that s left? Or do we believe that, in the end, the final word is The Word, one of Light, Life, Love, Healing, and Peace? BOMB KILLS 174 IN BAGHDAD, VIOLENCE ESCALATES JESUS STOOD BEFORE THEM AND SAID, PEACE! ENERGY COSTS SOAR, GAS PRICES AT ALL TIME HIGH THE ANGEL SPOKE: DO NOT BE FRIGHTENED! CLEVELAND POPULATION DROPS, INNER RING SUBURBS NEXT? HE IS GOING AHEAD OF YOU TO GALILEE (SLAVIC VILLAGE? PARMA? INDEPENDENCE?) WHERE YOU WILL SEE HIM JUST AS HE TOLD YOU. TEEN SUICIDE, DRUG ADDICTION ON THE RISE WHY DO YOU SEARCH FOR THE LIVING ONE AMONG THE DEAD? HE IS NOT HERE. HE HAS BEEN RAISED UP. HUNGER CENTER EXPANDS FACILITIES TO MEET RISING NEED JESUS SAID TO THEM: HAVE YOU ANYTHING HERE TO EAT? PRIESTLY VOCATIONS DECLINING, PARISH CLOSINGS NEXT? WITH THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD, THEIR EYES WERE OPENED AND THEY RECOGNIZED HIM. EVOLUTION, INTELLIGENT DESIGN WHO KNOWS? BLEST ARE THEY WHO HAVE NOT SEEN AND HAVE BELIEVED. Happy Easter to you and to all you hold dear! Fr. Michael WIELKANOCNA RADOSC Mozna powiedziec, ze zyjemy w "czasach paradoksów". Bo kiedy tak na spokojnie przyjrzymy sie naszemu zyciu, to stwierdzamy, ze poszerzamy autostrady, ale horyzonty mamy raczej coraz wezsze. Budujemy coraz wieksze domy, ale coraz mniejs ze rodziny. Coraz wiecej mamy ekspertów w róznych dziedzinach, ale i wiecej problemów. Coraz skuteczniejsza mamy medycyne, ale czujemy sie coraz gorzej. Potrafimy juz dodac kilka lat do naszego zycia, ale nie zycia do naszych lat. Potrafimy tez przebyc droge z Ziemi na Ksiezyc i z powrotem, a tak czesto mamy klopot z przejsciem na droga strone ulicy, by porozmawiac z sasiadem. Oczyscilismy powietrze, ale zanieczyscilismy dusze. Nauczylismy sie spieszyc, a nie czekac. Potrafilismy podwoic nasze dochody, ale i rozwodów tez jest przynajmniej dwa razy wiecej. W takich wlasnie zyjemy czasach, kiedy kazdy czlowiek ma jakby mnóstwo rzeczy na wystawie, ale pustki w magazynie. Tak rzeczywiscie jest - z czego tu sie wiec cieszyc? Patrzac tylko po ludzku takie widzenie swiata pozbawione jest nadziei, a w konsekwencji i radosci. Caly problem chyba w tym, ze zapominamy, ze jestesmy stworzenia mi o naturze duchowej i na co dzien w ogóle nie patrzymy na nadzieje z religijnego punktu widzenia. A bez nadziei o jakakolwiek radosc zycia po prostu trudno. Po raz kolejny Pan Bóg daje nam mozliwosc odnowienia naszej nadziei i radosci: w uroczystosc Zmartwychwstania naszego Pana Jezusa Chrystusa. Razem z calym stworzeniem spiewamy w ten poranek: «Chwala Tobie, Jezu Chryste, Ty królujesz dzisiaj i na wieki». Bo za nas zostal ukrzyzowany i dla nas zmartwychwstal. Wydaje sie, ze wszystko pozostalo bez zmian, ale w rzeczywistosci nic nie jest tak, jak dotychczas. On, Zycie niesmiertelne, odkupil zycie kazdego czlowieka i na nowo otworzyl je na nadzieje. Tak wiec dla nas, wszystkich mezczyzn i kobiet trzeciego tysiaclecia przeznaczony jest paschalny dar swiatla, które rozprasza mroki leku i smutku. Dla wszystkich przeznaczony jest dar pokoju zmartwychwstalego Chrystusa, który rozrywa kajdany przemocy i nienawisci. Z radoscia i zachwytem odkryjmy w te wielkanocna niedziele na nowo, ze swiat nie jest juz w niewoli nieuchronnych wydarzen. Czy moga byc bardziej przekonywujace motywy dla naszej nadziei, i rodzacej sie z niej radosci?! W niedziele Zmartwychwstania stajemy u zródel prawdziwej radosci. Ale zeby to dostrzec, trzeba miec oczy szeroko otwarte, chociaz (jak powiedzial Lis Malemu Ksieciu) najwazniejsze jest niewidoczne dla oczu, bo dobrze widzi sie tylko sercem. Próbujmy wiec spojrzec oczami serca, czyli oczami naszej wiary. Wiary odnowionej przez tajemnice Meki, Smierci i Zmartwychwstania Chrystusa. I w jej swietle popatrzec na historie i terazniejszosc naszego zycia. Warto wiec w te Niedziele niedziel odrobine sie zatrzymac. I jeszcze raz odnowic w sobie swiadomosc, ze w Tajemnicy Paschy Chrystusa nastepuje nasze pojednanie z Ojcem. Czy moze byc wiekszy motyw radosci, niz bycie dziecmi samego Boga?! Ks. Janusz Lekan

4 ST. STANISLAUS Happy Easter From St. Stans Pastoral Staff Pan prawdziwie zmartwychwsta³! NA CZAS NAJRADOŒNIEJSZYCH ŒWI T ZMARTWYCHWSTANIA PAÑSKIEGO WSZYSTKIM GOŒCIOM I PARAFIANOM DOBRA, POKOJU I RADOŒCI Zycza duszpasterze Fr. Michael Surufka, OFM, Fr. Jerzy Kusy, and Fr. Camillus Janas, OFM THANKS! The entire parish is grateful for all our wonderful parishioners and volunteers who worked so hard and helped to make our Easter experience so special! Winter is always tough on our campus, and this winter was even harder because of all the construction going on. John Sklodowski, Stan Koch, and Josh Denham took on the daunting task of cleaning the church grounds last weekend. The interior of the church was given wonderful attention by members of the Brother Fidelis Society. Special thanks to Tim Sklodowski, Connie Ailiff, David Krakowski, Rita Golubski, Alice Klafczynski, and many others. Many parishioners were able to help out simply by donating to the flower collection. The choirs rehearsed for many extra hours to make sure that the glory of God would be proclaimed with joy. God bless all of you for sharing your talents. ANNUAL EASTER MASS FOR THE HOMEBOUND Do miracles still happen? We as Christian believers have hope that God in his merciful goodness would help us in our time of greatest suffering and need. St. Stanislaus and the Lil Bros have made it an annual tradition to have a special Easter Mass for our homebound parishioners. We will celebrate this special Liturgy, including anointing of the sick, the Sunday after Easter, April 23, at 2:00 PM. If there are any parishioners that need assistance in getting to church please call the rectory. MSZA ŒW.

New Stock Added! Little White Books Easter Meditations Are in the Shrine Shoppe Still only $1 Donation! PISANKI-EGGS VOLUNTEERS NEEDED ST. STAN S HISTORICAL FACT The two bell tower steeples were originally 232 feet high. They could be seen from downtown Cleveland. On April 21, 1909 the church was hit by a tornado. The storm destroyed the two steeples, damaged a large portion of the roof as well as some stained glass windows, and blew the big iron bells out of the east bell tower into the schoolyard. This was the most destructive storm to hit the City of Cleveland until that time. The Plain Dealer reported that the damage was estimated at over one million dollars. Three individuals were killed and many more were injured. The Parish banded together and had the church fixed within that year. The steeples were not as high (122 feet) but the bells were recast in St. Louis and set back in place where they currently reside in the east bell tower.
