This Sunday we will begin quietly with our Parish Mission. As we have sung the words of Psalm thoughout this Holy Season, Create in me a clean heart. O God, our Mission Preacher will further dwell on the heart and it s relevance in our relationship with God. At Vesper services the evenings of Sunday, Monday and Tuesday he will concentrate on different stages of the blossoming of a heart drawn back to God. On Palm Sunday at 3 p.m. we will host the Brecksville/Broadview Hts. High School Choirs and Orchestra as they perform Ernest Bloch s Sacred Service. (The proceeds from this concert will go toward the ongoing drive to save our deteriorating pipe organ). Other orchestral and choral works will be featured as well, all prior to the group s departure for their performance in New York City. Easter Sunday needs no introduction. Alleluia says it all. Smacznego jajka! Divine Mercy Sunday culminates the octave of this great feast. We will have our annual Mass of Anointing of the Sick that afternoon. The final chaplet of the Divine Mercy novena will be prayed immediately afterward. The day will end with our first major solo concert on our recently acquired Steinway grand with a concert by Julia Kociuban winner of Poland s 2008 Chopin Competition. The event is sponsored by the prestigious Kosciuszko Foundation. On Sunday, May 26th, we will be blessed to hear some of the most beautiful and melodic music including two Latin Masses as performed by the MasterSingers, Inc. The concert includes some newly commissioned sacred works as well. The first Sunday of May celebrates the Mother of God with Her coronation and cascade of rose petals falling from the heavens at 4 p.m., an opportunity to display your love for the Mother of Jesus and our heavenly Mother. The next Sunday, being Mothers Day, we have decided that the evening prior, Saturday, May 9th, we will celebrate the 5th anniversary of CityMusic Cleveland with another great Mass, Schubert s Mass in G Major for orchestra, soloists and choir!! That will be a great event!! AND it s FREE!!!!! The next few Sundays will be filled with many family celebrations, First Communions, Graduations and Memorial Day. As has always been our tradition, the real ending to this festive time will occur at the 10:30 Mass on Sunday, June 14th, the feast of Corpus Christi, with our grand procession through the neighborhood. Do we know how to celebrate and live or what????

3 PASTORAL MESSAGE MARCH 29, MARCA 2009 WATER, WATER, WATER In the Book of Genesis we read how God separated one body of water from the other; and how God separated water from dry land. The water was called the sea and the land was called the earth. Both are essential to the growth and survival of all living beings, especially, human beings. Water is frequently mentioned in the Scriptures. The Spirit of God is described as hovering over the immensity of the waters; the wise person is described as a tree planted near running water; as a deer yearns for running water, so our soul yearns for the living water the presence of God in our lives. The woman mentioned in the gospel episode seeks to draw water from the well. She had a bad reputation, stayed away from other women, came at the least opportune time of day noon when it was the hottest. She did this everyday. She was shocked that Jesus a Jew, a man, would dare to speak to her in public. She got not only the cool refreshing water from the well, but more importantly the received the Living Water that gushes unto Eternal Life, namely, Jesus. Jesus used water which he changed into the most delicious wine at the marriage feast at Cana. Jesus himself stepped into the Jordan River to be baptized. He commanded the apostles and their followers, to use water at the rite of baptism. Water reminds us of how God invites us to closer union with himself in Christ. At the Easter Vigil we hear the whole account of Creation, including water. We dip the Paschal Candle into the newly blessed water. In the past years, parishioners were invited to take home a container of the newly blessed water at the Easter Vigil, or even longer ago, at the rite celebrated on Holy Saturday morning. Holy Water founts mounted by the main doors of a house, and even at the door of every bedroom were a common tradition. We were taught to bless ourselves with holy water every time we left and returned home. The same was true at the grade school and at church. And the Asperges me at Mass. A constant reminder of our baptism into Christ and our commitment to the message of His Gospel. To sit at the shore of a large lake, or even more awesome, to be seated on the beach of the magnificent ocean at either coast of our country what a thrilling and spine-tingling, mindboggling experience to know that this is the handiwork of our loving God, our Provider and Friend, to Whose Eternal Home we have all been invited. Saint Francis addressed water as Sister. She would quench our thirst, cleanse our body, nourish growth and development among the living creatures. So important is the existence of water, that most of the face of the earth is graced with water. Our eco-system is heavily dependent on clean, life-sustaining water. What effect does water have on me? Do I respect it? Do I use it prudently? Do I thank God for the abundance of water that has been given to me? Does the water of baptism draw mc loser to God? To Christ? Do I, like the woman at the well, yearn more strongly for the water of everlasting life? Does thirst help me to appreciate God s special care and concern for me? Do I share this good fortune with those who have and enjoy less than I? It is right and just to give thanks to God always and everywhere!! Fr. Len Krzyż Jezusa Dzisiaj przeżywamy już piątą niedzielę Wielkiego Postu. Tradycyjnie nazwana jest ona Niedzielą Męki Pańskiej. Te ostatnie dwa tygodnie przed Wielkanocą to druga część Wielkiego Postu. O ile w pierwszym okresie, czyli od Środy Popielcowej do 5 niedzieli Wielkiego Postu czytania liturgiczne podkreślały konieczność naszego osobistego nawrócenia, zmiany życia, walki z grzechem przez dzieła pokutne, tradycyjne streszczone jako modlitwa, jałmużna i post, - tak teraz - przez ostatnie dwa tygodnie dzielące nas od Wielkanocy, nasza uwaga skoncentrowana jest na Męce Jezusa. Tradycyjną czynnością w kościołach katolickich jest zasłanianie krzyża. Jaki jest sens tego symbolu? Bardzo podoba mi się wyjaśnienie, które poznałem przez o. Bronisława Mokrzyckiego, jezuitę z Starej Wsi, koło Brzozowa. On tłumaczy to w ten sposób: Z krzyżem mamy do czynienia na co dzień. To, co widzimy codzienne, powszednieje. Nie chodzi tylko o to, że widok krzyża może się nam znudzić. Chodzi raczej o to, że patrząc na krzyż, często zatrzymujemy się na powierzchni. Zasłonięcie krzyża to zaproszenie do wejścia w głębszy wymiar. W czasie Gorzkich Żali śpiewamy: W przepaść męki Twej wchodzę. Właśnie takie było zadanie pierwszej części Wielkiego Postu, aby nas oczyścić i uzdolnić do tego zadania. Zawsze jest jednak prawdziwe, że jakkolwiek nasz osobisty wysiłek jest niezbędny, zbawienie jest darmową łaską Pana. Druga część Wielkiego Postu, która koncentruje się na Męce Zbawiciela, mówi nam o tym, że nawet, gdybyśmy czynili bardzo wielką pokutę, nawet gdybyśmy cały Post spędzili na modlitwie, nie przyjmując innego pokarmu i napoju oprócz chleba i wody, i wszystko rozdali na jałmużnę, to i tak nie bylibyśmy w stanie zbawić samych siebie. To Jezus jest Zbawcą. On zbawił nas przez swoją mękę i śmierć krzyżową. I dlatego teraz, nie rezygnując z modlitwy, jałmużny i postu, chcemy z większą intensywnością patrzeć na krzyż Jezusa. A ponieważ jest zasłonięty, chcemy z Boża pomocą przenikać w głębiny Męki Pana. Św. Faustyna zanotowała w swoim Dzienniczku, że jedna godzina rozważania Męki Jezusa jest więcej warta u Boga, niż długie biczowanie. Tutaj może zrodzić się pytanie: Co to znaczy - przenikać do głębi Męki Pana? Myślę, że dobrą odpowiedź daje o. Maciej Zachara, MIC: Począwszy od piątej niedzieli Wielkiego Postu, Kościół coraz bardziej koncentruje uwagę na tajemnicy krzyża. Czyni to jednak nie po to, byśmy współczuli cierpiącemu Jezusowi i litowali się nad Nim, ale byśmy przyjęli owoce Jego męki i śmierci. Jezus zapowiada swoją mękę jako wywyższenie, gdyż to właśnie w krzyżu nastąpił tryumf nad szatanem i jego dziełami oraz najpełniej objawiła się Boża miłość do każdego człowieka. Jeśli wierzymy tej miłości i pozwalamy się jej ogarnąć, stajemy się zdolni do tego, by rozpoznać i ukochać doświadczenie krzyża również w naszym życiu. A wtedy będziemy w nim widzieć już nie samo cierpienie, ale drogę, która przez umieranie dla siebie prowadzi nas do wydania plonu na życie wieczne. o. Placyd

Leslie Hoppe, OFM, our Provincial Minister, who will be visiting the friars. ST. STAN S HISTORICAL FACT by Rob Jagelewski St. Joseph s Church on Woodland Avenue and East 23rd near downtown Cleveland was the site where our Parishioners worshiped from At this time our community did not have a church of their own. They would build a two story wood structure, which served as a church and school in Our community worshiped at St. Joseph because they were under the care of Father Wolfgang Janietz OFM of the Sacred Heart Province. St. Joseph was put under Franciscan care in Soon the Friars built a chapel and friary. An old frame church was demolished in The new brick St. Joseph Church was dedicated on October 5, This was the year our community of St. Stanislaus was born. St. Joseph Church s interior was similar to ours with darker tinted wood. There were intricate wood carvings and impressive stained glass windows. Father Janietz continued to care for our community until St. Joseph s served many other ethnic groups in the same capacity as it served the Poles. Other ethnic groups that used St. Joseph for worship were the Slovaks, Czechs, and Italians. Due to a dwindling congregation and urban sprawl, St. Joseph Church was closed and deconsecrated in Sacred objects from the church were disbursed throughout the Diocese. At St. Stanislaus, the stained glass windows of St. Joseph, St. Francis, and St. Claire in our sacristy are from St. Joseph Church. A REQUEST FROM A PARISHIONER To all Parishioners Please do not forget about church cleaning on every Thursday afternoon. We all share the benefits of our clean church but many do not seem to volunteer their time! It is from 3PM to 5PM. Please give the aging cleaning crew a hand. It is truly a wonderful way to help build the kingdom of JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. The work is not difficult - it is just dusting and sweeping and mopping. PLEASE GIVE A HAND TO THE CLEANING CREW ON THURSDAYS. BRING YOUR OWN DUST CLOTHS AND DUST YOUR FAVORITE PEWS! Also once a month, after cleaning, enjoy the fellowship with the crew. It is truly a TREMENDOUS AND MARVELOUS WAY TO END THE DAY. THANK YOU. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU! FILIES. Connie Aliff ST JOSEPH CHURCH WOODLAND AVE. 1973
