SS. Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church Celebrating 93 Years

Transkrypt

1 SS. Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church Celebrating 93 Years Drawing from the treasures of the Gospel and Roman Catholic Church teaching, we commit ourselves to be living examples of a community rich in faith, seeking the Kingdom of God. The Most Holy Trinity May 22, 2016 CONGRATULATIONS to the First Holy Communion Class of 2016! Dominic Lividini Anthony Busby Torrance Brown Kaleb Childers Alayah Evon What a special weekend for our SS. Peter and Paul family as 5 children received their First Holy Communion last Sunday at the p.m. Holy Mass. Seeing these children all dressed up and having the honor of giving them the very Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ for the first time makes this Mass one of the most beautiful Masses of the year! We are so grateful for the whole First Holy Communion team that prepared the children for this most Holy Sacrament and made their big day possible. Thank you!

2 SS. Peter and Paul News Page 2 CIERPLIWOŚĆ JEST WSZYSTKIM Pamiętam z dzieciństwa zaćmienie słońca. Moja babcia wzięła kawałek szkła i ku mojemu zdziwieniu okopciła go nad świeczką, potem kazała wyjść z domu i obserwować słońce przez ten prymitywny filtr. Nie dość że słońce było zasłonięte księżycem, to jeszcze ciemny filtr zabezpieczał moje oko przez porażeniem światłem. Ale na czyste światło można spojrzeć tylko przez zasłony, jeśli nie chce się oślepnąć. Nie możemy znieść czystego światła prawdy. Musimy czekać albo spoglądać na nie przez zasłony stworzonego świata. Potrzeba cierpliwości. Bóg ujawnił się na poziomie świata materialnego poprzez mądrość słowa w czasie, bo czas jest istotną cechą tego świata. Czas to przede wszystkim rozwój, a nie tylko przemijanie. Księga Przysłów językiem poezji opowiada o przechodzeniu Mądrości stwórczego słowa od bezładu pierwotnej materii do form bardziej złożonych i doskonalszych, aż do istot żywych i inteligentnych. Światło i ciemność, ziemia i niebo, woda i ogień, ryby i ptaki, drzewa utworzyły komnatę, w której mógł pojawić się człowiek, czyli podobieństwo samego Boga. Każde z tych stworzeń stanowi jakąś zasłonę samego Stwórcy, jakiś filtr! Mądrość Boga, dokonawszy stworzenia świata zewnętrznego, przeszła do tworzenia głębi ludzkiego ducha. List do Rzymian daje nam obraz tego działania, począwszy od usprawiedliwienia inicjującego nowe stworzenie, przez etap wiary, która daje dostęp do łaski, przez ucisk, który tworzy wytrwałość, przez szlachetność cnoty przechodzi do nadziei, a ta dopiero staje się komnatą miłości rozlanej przez Ducha. Na takim tle łatwiej nam pojąć, dlaczego Jezus mówi swoim uczniom, że mógłby jeszcze wiele im powiedzieć, ale nie są gotowi znieść blasku prawdy i Duch doprowadzi ich stopniowo do pełni poznania. Nawet pełnia prawdy o Bogu, który jest Trójcą, potrzebuje czasu, rozwoju, przygotowania, bo ta prawda wymaga filtrów naszych pojęć, by ją w ogóle sobie przedstawić. Bóg dokonuje swoich dzieł, stopniowo oswajając człowieka z łaskami, które zawsze są zbyt wielkie, by je po prostu przyjąć. Nadmiar dobra może być nie do zniesienia. Lud wybrany, wszedłszy do Kanaanu, miał zdobywać Ziemię Świętą stopniowo, gdyż, jak mówi Księga Wyjścia, rozpanoszyłyby się dzikie zwierzęta, które spustoszyłyby obiecaną przestrzeń uświęcenia narodu. Kiedy osiągamy jakiś poziom istnienia zbyt szybko, na skróty, wtedy ujawnia się w nas żądza lub zachłanność bestii. Na wszystkich drogach życia na tym świecie potrzebna jest cierpliwość, a przede wszystkim na tej drodze, która wiedzie poza ten świat. Cierpliwość jest wszystkim. Rosnąć jak drzewo, które nie przyspiesza krążenia swych soków, które ufnie wytrzymuje wiosenne wichry, nie lękając się tego, że lato mogłoby nie nadejść. Lato przychodzi. Ale przychodzi ono tylko dla tych, którzy umieją czekać, tak spokojni i otwarci, jakby mieli nad sobą tylko wieczność. Każdego dnia, za cenę cierpień, które błogosławię, uczę się tej prawdy: cierpliwość jest wszystkim (R.M.Rilke). CSA KICK OFF MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND! On the weekend of May th the 2016 CATHO- LIC SERVICES APPEAL (CSA) will begin their annual collection here at SS. Peter and Paul Church. We will be mailing out pledge cards and brochures to all the families on our parish mailing list. If you are not on that list, or for some reason do not received a pledge card by Memorial Day Weekend, please call Michael Thomas at Ext We will also have blank pledge cards at the church starting that weekend. You are welcome to include your pledge with the church collection, mail it in, or drop it by the office during our operating hours. This year, the Archdiocese has set a goal for our parish of $14,129. If we exceed our target, any excess will be returned directly to our parish. While we did not exceed our target goal of $15,022 in 2015, the lowering of the target goal will help us to at least reduce the shortfall we are obliged to pay from our general fund. We know that we are all continuing to experience difficult times financially, but if everyone pitches in this will make a big difference to both Church finances and as well to all the important ministries and programs, some of which are listed below (we will list even more in next week s bulletin). Indeed, your generous gift to the CSA will do so much for so many. The budget for the 2016 Catholic Services Appeal is $17,839,175. Your gifts to the CSA are used solely and exclusively to support 117 Archdiocesan ministries, programs, and services as well as certain national collections of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. No CSA dollars have ever been or ever will be used to support projects outside of the Archdiocese, other than those USCCB national collections, or to settle claims of any nature against the Archdiocese. The Archdiocesan lay Finance Council oversees the distribution of CSA funds to ensure that all reach the ministries, programs, and services for which they are intended. Some of these Programs are: Clergy and Consecrated Life Convocation for Priests and Deacons Pastoral Care of Priests Delegate for Religious

Church carpet replacement is in the budget and is being looked at. The fencing will be done after a 3 rd estimate is received. It will take about 3 weeks to install. The bushes still need to be replaced. Pastor s Remarks The Water Department paid to replace the cement between the Church and School after a heavy duty lift truck cracked the cement. The cement approach to the former convent has been replaced. Fr. Jerry will share his opinion of the Come Encounter Christ program with the Archbishop. Mary Ann Londke, President St. Philip Neri St. Philip Neri was a saint born on July 22, 1515, in Florence, Italy. At age 18, he decided to commit his life to God. While praying in the catacombs of St. Sebastiano, he experienced a globe of light that entered his mouth and moved to his heart. He felt closer to God and began serving the ill, poor and others in need. Neri was ordained as a priest in 1551 at the church of San Girolamo. He had a strong following of worshippers who often met in the Oratory, thus they were named the Congregation of the Oratory. Neri died on May 25, 1595, after a long illness. He was beatified in 1615 and canonized in St. Philip Neri s feast day is on May 26.
