LIVE THE LITURGY If we continue to journey through life without genuine self-knowledge, without knowing how our relationships ought to be ordered and what truth is, the path we walk will always be only dimly lit. In fact, when we make the wrong choices or find ourselves forgetting who we are, we can easily find ourselves in darkness. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. " Jesus is the light that came into the darkness. It is not enough for us to simply believe that Jesus is the Christ but we must live our lives in witness to this truth. The choices we make and the priorities we establish are going to either speak of someone who really does not care, someone who is confused, or someone who is wholeheartedly convinced of God's love.

6 DON T WE ALL ENCOUNTER MOMENTS IN LIFE WHEN WE NEED GOD; BUT DON T FEEL HIS PRESENCE? MOST OF US HAVE PAST REGRETS AND WORRIES ABOUT THE FUTURE WHICH KEEP US FROM ENJOYING THE PRESENT! Fr. Henri Nouwen, a great Catholic spiritual writer of modern times, will guide us to living in the Here and Now and to Living in the Spirit in this very special bedside book which will be the basis for a weekly guided reflection and discussion beginning Wednesday., April 11th, following the 9am morning Mass. Together we will learn to live in the present experiencing joy, embracing suffering, trusting prayer, being compassionate, understanding and family relationships, forgiving enemies, discovering who we really are! Books are available. Questions?

Prosimy natomiast o zamawianie intencji Mszalnych korzystając z przygotowanych do tego celu kopert i przekazywanie ich odpowiednio wcześniej do biura parafialnego. Przed Mszą będzie można nadal zamawiać intencje dotyczące spraw nagłych czy nieprzewidzianych. Koperty dostępne są w przedsionku kościoła.

PIERWSZE PIĄTKI MIESIĄCA Spowiedź i Adoracja Najświętszego Sakramentu: 5:30pm-6:45pm, Msza Św. w jęz. polskim: 7pm WHY DO WE DO THAT? CATHOLIC TRADITIONS EXPLAINED Question: Who invented the Stations of the Cross? Answer: The first Stations of the Cross were walked by Jesus himself on the way to Calvary. Known as the "Via Dolorosa" ("The Way of Suffering") or the "Via Crucis" ("The Way of the Cross"), it was marked out from the earliest times and was a traditional walk for pilgrims who came to Jerusalem. The early Christians in Jerusalem would walk the same pathway that Jesus walked, pausing for reflection and prayer. Later, when Christians could not travel to the Holy Land, artistic depictions of "The Way of the Cross" were set up in churches, or outside and Christians would walk from station to station, reading the Gospel account of the Passion, or simply praying and reflecting on each event. While the content or place of each station had changed, the intention was to make a minipilgrimage and follow--literally--in the footsteps of Jesus. This devotion became better known in the Middle Ages, and the Franciscans are credited with its spread. Lent is a time when many people make the Stations and some churches present Passion plays or Living Stations. But anyone can pray the Stations at any time. It is a simple and personal reflection on the passion of Jesus and what it means to us. 10 l Welcome to St. Thomas Becket Catholic Parish Community
