Mudryk COMMUNITY INFORMATION Sacrificial Giving for the Week of February 25, 2018 $3, Wszystko to pomaga wyjaśnić gniewną i gwałtowną reakcję Jezusa, kiedy wszedł do Świątyni w Jerozolimie i uznał, że traktuje się ją bardziej jak centrum handlowe lub budynek bankowy. Zniszczenie tego, co święte, jest straszną i osobistą zniewagą dla Boga. Dzięki naszym chrztom każdy z nas jest świątynią Ducha Świętego. Każdy z nas został tutaj stworzony i zaprojektowany przez Boga dla jakiegoś celu. Każdy z nas jest tutaj chodzącą, żywą świątynią, w której Bóg jest obecny i dostępny dla innych. Jaki rodzaj handlu dzieje się wewnątrz Twojej świątyni, wewnątrz świątyni, którą jesteś? Twoja odpowiedź na to fundamentalne pytanie jest istotą Wielkiego Postu. Wielki Post jest nam dany każdego roku, abyśmy mogli zbadać, zmienić i oczyścić to, co dzieje się wewnątrz kazdego z nas. Wasz Ksiądz Proboszcz Ks.Piotr INFORMACJE KSIĘDZA PROBOSZCZA Kochani Parafianie i Przyjaciele Kościoła Św. Jadwigi. W dzisiejszym biuletynie chcialbym zwrocic uwage na to dlaczego zbudowano budynek kościoła? Świątynia jest budynkiem poświęconym Bogu. Ale to coś więcej. Jest to przestrzeń sakralna, przestrzeń niepodobna do wszystkich innych, w która wchodzimy, aby być z Bogiem. Świątynia to dom Boży, a nie teatr, sala wykładowa czy audytorium. Bóg jest tutaj obecny. To jest dom Boży, nie tylko nasz dom. Ta migocząca czerwona świeca z wiecznie płonącym płomieniem jest sygnałem, który mówi nam, że Odwieczny, zmartwychwstały Chrystus mieszka tutaj. Dlatego powinniśmy z szacunkiem sie tu zachowywac. Przyklękamy w Prawdziwej Obecności Chrystusa, zamieszkującego tutaj w tym tabernakulum. Z szacunku mężczyźni nie noszą czapek. Szanujemy tych, którzy się modla. FROM THE PASTOR S DESK Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Hedwig s Church. In this weeks bulletin, I would like to draw attention to why the church building was built? The temple is certainly a building dedicated to God. But there is more. It is a dedicated, sacred space, a space unlike all others in which we enter to be with God. The temple is the house of God, not the theater, the lecture hall, the auditorium or the place where we go to church kinds of gatherings.

4 God is present here. This is the house of God, not only our home. This shimmering red candle with the eternally burning flame is a signal that tells us that the eternal, resurrected Christ lives in this space. Therefore, we should be respectful here. We are kneeling in the True Presence of Christ who lives here in this tabernacle. Out of respect, men do not wear hats. We respect those who pray. All this helps explain the angry reaction of Jesus when he entered the Temple of Jerusalem and thought that it was treated more like a shopping mall or bank building. Thanks to our baptisms, each of us is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Each of us was created and designed by God for a purpose. Each of us is a walking, living temple in which God is present and available to others. What kind of trade happens inside your temple, inside the temple that you are? Your answer to this fundamental question is the essence of Lent. Lent is given to us every year, so that we can examine everything that happens within us. (From:Fr. Charles Irvin) Your Pastor, Fr Peter FORGIVENESS If a bad person wrongs you, forgive the person, lest there be two bad people. Anonymous Eternal rest grant unto +Andre Jean-Pierre and +Augusto Mariani, O Lord, and may Thy perpetual light shine upon them forever and ever. Amen.

As a Season of Penance, Lent is "particularly appropriate" for various activities such as praying, fasting, almsgiving, penitential pilgrimages and liturgies, and more: The seasons and days of penance in the course of the liturgical year (Lent, and each Friday in memory of the death of the Lord) are intense moments of the Church's penitential practice. These times are particularly appropriate for spiritual exercises, penitential liturgies, and pilgrimages as signs of penance, voluntary selfdenial such as fasting and almsgiving, and fraternal sharing (charitable and missionary works). CCC 1438 In this special time of Lent children from our religious education program collect little donations to charity box. Collected money will be sent to Charity Organization supporting poor people.
