3 I am Running to the Risen Christ! Dear Parishioners, Easter time ends with joyful celebration of the Risen Christ, who suffered, was crucified, died and was buried, then rose to Life. His life s path is also my path to God s Kingdom. I would like to share with you my reflection from the gospel according to John, chapter 20 regarding Jesus rising from the dead. When Mary Magdalene went to the tomb where Jesus was buried she saw the stone removed. So she RAN and went to Simon Peter and other disciples to announce that Jesus was no longer in the tomb. Peter and other disciples started walking, but then began to RUN toward the place. Also, the same day in the gospel according to Luke (Lk24, 13-35) two of Jesus followers were walking back from Jerusalem to their village called Emmaus. Jesus joins them as they walk, but they didn t recognize Him at first. Once they realized that He was the Messiah, I imagine they RAN to join His disciples to tell them that Jesus has risen. Similarly, I contemplate the event which occurred 490 years before Christ, after the battle of Marathon when Pheidippides ran to Athens with the news of the great victory his people had over the Persians at Marathon. He got to Athens yelled out Victory! and died of exhaustion. All of these characters not only walked, but RAN to share their news! Later, St. Paul the Apostle will write in his letter to Philippians 3:14: I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. In the 1 Corinthian 9:26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly.. Paul also RUNS for Christ. Very often it is a run with obstacles that need to be faced, in order to finish and be raised from death, just like Jesus promised us. Running represents dynamic, physical effort. It demonstrates strong desire for achieving the goal. It is not possible to lazy run. I shall not walk but RUN to pray in church. I RUN to see a loved one, like a child that RUNS and falls into his mother s arms. Do I RUN to see the risen from the dead Jesus? Let s RUN brothers and sisters to celebrate Holy Week. Let s RUN like Jesus apostles to announce with our hearts to the whole world that Jesus has Risen! I wish you joy and peace. Jesus has risen! Alleluia!

4 Biegnę do Chrystusa Zmartwychwstałego!!! Drodzy parafianie w święta Zmartwychwstania Pańskiego, w najważniejsze uroczystości naszej wiary, radujemy się obecnością Jezusa, który cierpiał, został ukrzyżowany, umarł, został pogrzebany i zmartwychwstał. Jego droga życia jest rownież moją drogą do królestwa Bożego. Czytając ewangelię wg św. Jana rozdział 20 o zmartwychwstaniu Jezusa pragnę podzielić się z wami jedną refleksją z tego świętego tekstu. Oto Maria Magdalena udała się do grobu i zobaczyła kamień odsunięty. Odkrywając ten fakt, że nie ma ciała Jezusa w grobie POBIEGŁA do Apostołów oznajmić im to wydarzenie. Dalej Piotr i Jan poszli do grobu początkowo szli a następnie zaczęli BIEC, aby jak najszybciej dotrzeć do grobu Pańskiego. Również tego samego dnia dwaj uczniowie Jezusa, o których czytamy w Ewangelii wg św.łukasza (Lk 24,13-35) wracają z Jerozolimy do swojej miejscowości Emaus. Kiedy wieczorem dochodzą do rodzinnej wioski uznają tam Jezusa Zmartwychwstałego. Następnie w tej samej godzinie pomimo, że jest już noc wracają do Jerozolimy i wyobrażam sobie, że nie idą ale BIEGNĄ aby oznajmić Apostołom, że Jezus żyje, że On rzeczywiście Zmartwychwstał. Zastanawia mnie rownież wydarzenie, które rozegrało się 490 lat przed narodzeniem Chrystusa, po bitwie pod Maratonem, kiedy posłaniec Filippides przebiegł drogę z Maratonu do Aten (w starożytnej Grecji) wykrzyknął słowo zwycięstwo i upadł martwy z wyczerpania. Wszyscy wymienieni bohaterowie nie tylko szli, oni biegli aby przekazać najważniejsze orędzie ich życia. Nieco później św. Paweł Apostoł napisze w Liście do Filipian 3.14 : pędzę ku wyznaczonej mecie, ku nagrodzie, do jakiej Bóg wzywa w górę w Chrystusie Jezusie. W pierwszym Liście do Koryntian: Ja przeto biegnę nie jakby na oślep. (1kor 9,26) Św. Paweł rownież biegnie dla Chrystusa. Często jest to bieg z przeszkodami, które musi pokonać ale biegnie on jak najszybciej aby osiagnąć metę zmartwychwstania. Bieg oznacza dynamizm, wielki wysiłek. Bieg jest wielkim pragnieniem osiągnięcia celu. Biegnąc nie można ociągać się i być znudzonym. Nie idę a BIEGNĘ na modlitwę i do kościoła. Biegnę aby spotkać się z ukochaną osobą. Dziecko biegnie aby rzucić się w ramiona matki. Czy biegnę aby spotkać się z Chrystusem Zmartwychwstałym? Biegnijmy zatem bracia i siostry aby celebrować największe Tajemnice naszej wiary - święte Triduum Paschalne. Biegnijmy jak uczniowie Jezusa aby ogłosić naszym sercom i Światu, że Jezus Chrystus Zmartwychwstał. Radości, Pokoju i Pogody ducha. Jezus Żyje! Alleluja! Z modlitwą za was ks. Roman Cały - wasz proboszcz Święconka Dinner Dance Parafianie i Goście są serdecznie zaproszeni na Święconkę połączoną z obiadem i zabawą w Sobotę, 9 Kwietnia, w Sali Parafialnej.
