3 19 TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Niech będzie pochwalony Jezus Chrystus! W sierpniu, ale przede wszystkim 15 go dnia tego miesiąca, nasze serca kierują się ku Jasnej Górze, gdzie tłumy, tysiące pielgrzymów zdążają, aby oddać cześć Matce Bożej, przeżyć rekolekcje, czas pokuty i nawrócenia oraz wymodlić potrzebne łaski na kolejny rok. Niektórzy pielgrzymują przez kolejne lata. Wiemy, jak bardzo istotna jest rola Matki Jezusa, naszej Matki, w naszym życiu. Nie możemy nawet sobie wyobrazić, jak często interweniowała za światem, za nami u swego Syna. Pielgrzymowanie przypomina, że nie mamy stałego miejsca na ziemi, ale wędrujemy do Domu Ojca. Podobnie, jak pielgrzymi, nie jesteśmy w stanie obarczać się zbędnym bagażem, ciężarem, bo to nie pozwoli nam iść dalej, nie pozwoli zmierzać do celu. Chcemy przypatrzeć się naszemu ziemskiemu pielgrzymowaniu, czy abyśmy nie ustali w drodze, rozwoju wiary, nadziei i miłości, czy coś nie jest zbędnym balastem, który trzeba zostawić na drodze pielgrzymowania? Pielgrzymka zawsze kojarzy się ze śpiewem godzinek, różańcem, drogą krzyżowa, wspólnotą ludzi maszerujących z nami, nieraz potrzebuijącymi naszej pomocy i wsparcia. Codziennie Matka chce nas wspierać, słyszeć nasze modlitwy, wskazywać na wolę Syna i pomagać nam ją wypełniać. Stąd potrzeba naszej modlitwy i różańca, i może sierpniowych godzinek i litanii poświęconych Niepokalanej. Czas pokutowania oczyszcza nasze serca, spojrzenie na siebie i świat, który nas otacza. Spowiedź i praktyki pokutne, jak post, czy inne wyrzeczenia są bardzo owcne i pobudzają ducha, bo duch ochoczy, ale ciało słabe (Mt 26, 41). Pomaga to nam zauważyć drugiego w potrzebie, jak mawiamy na pielgrzymce, brata i siostrę, bo przeciez rzeczywiście jesteśmy dziećmi jednego Ojca. Czas nam dany niech będzię umocnieniem naszych kroków na drodze pielgrzymowania do Nieba. Ks. Robert Będziński On Friday, August 23 rd at 12:10 PM there won t be Holy Mass in our shrine. W piątek, 23 sierpnia nie będzie Mszy Świętej w naszym sanktuarium. AUGUST 11 TH, 2019 Praised be Lord Jesus Christ! In August, but most of all, on the 15th, our hearts are heading to Jasna Góra, where crowds, thousands of pilgrims are coming to honor the Mother of God, experience the retreat, time of penance and conversion and pray for the necessary favors for the next year. Some have been going on this pilgrimage for years. We know how important the role of the Mother of Jesus, our Mother, is in our lives. We cannot even imagine how often she intervened for the world, for ourselves to Her Son. The pilgrimage reminds us that we do not have a permanent place on earth, but we wander to the Father's House. Just like pilgrims, we are not able to burden ourselves with unnecessary luggage, a burden, because it will not let us go any further, will not let us go to the target. We want to look at our earthly pilgrimage, if we stand on the right path, develop faith, hope and love, or something is not an unnecessary ballast, which must be left on the way of the pilgrimage? A pilgrimage is always associated with the singing of songs to Mary, the rosary, the way of the cross, a community of people marching with us, sometimes needing our help and support. Every day, the Mother wants to support us, hear our prayers, point to the Son's will and help us fulfill it. Hence the need for our prayer and rosary and litanies dedicated to the Immaculate. The time of repentance purifies our hearts, our eyes on ourselves and the world that surrounds us. Confessions and penitential practices, such as fasting or other austerities, are very sheepish and stimulate the spirit, because "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" (Mt 26:41). This helps us to notice others in need, as we are on a pilgrimage, brother and sister, because we are indeed children of one Father. Let us give us time to strengthen our steps on the way of the pilgrimage to Heaven. Fr. Robert Będziński PRAYER REQUESTS BOOK At the back of the lower church we have a PRAYER REQUEST BOOK. Please, write down your prayer in the book and your requests will be remembered at the shrine during our devotions: at the Stations of the Cross, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and in all other devotional Litanies.

4 Wniebowzięcie N.M.P. 15 sierpnia W Kościołach Wschodnich najczęściej spotykane nazwy: Zaśnięcie i Odpocznienie. Na Zachodzie: Przejście i Wniebowzięcie. Dość często spotyka się również nazwę ludową Matki Bożej Zielnej, a to dlatego, że ze świętem tym łączy się zwyczaj poświęcania ziół a często również dożynkowych snopów. Czyniono to w samo święto lub w ostatni dzień oktawy. Obecnie po zniesieniu oktawy (1969) po święcenia ziół dokonuje się tylko w samo święto. 1 listopada 1950 r. papież Pius XII, konstytucją apostolską Munificentissimus Deus, ogłosił jako dogmat, czyli jako prawdę wiary katolickiej, że Najśw. Maryja Panna została wraz ze swoim uwielbionym ciałem wzięta do nieba: Dlatego na chwałę Wszechmogącego Boga, który w sposób szczególnie hojny rozlał Swoją łaskawość na Maryję Dziewicę, dla chwały Swojego Syna, nieśmiertelnego Króla wieków i zwycięzcę nad grzechem i śmiercią; dla powiększenia chwały tejże Bożej Matki; oraz dla całego Kościoła; powagą Pana naszego Jezusa Chrystusa, błogosławionych Apostołów Piotra i Pawła oraz naszą - orzekamy i określamy, że jest dogmatem, od Boga objawionym, iż Niepokalana Boża Rodzicielka zawsze Dziewica, Maryja, po zakończeniu ziemskiego życia z ciałem i duszą została wzięta do nieba. Orzeczenie to oparł papież nie tylko na dogmacie, że kiedy przemawia uroczyście jako wikariusz Jezusa Chrystusa na ziemi w sprawach prawd wiary i obyczajów, jest nieomylny, ale także dlatego, że ta prawda była od dawna w Kościele uznawana. Papież ją tylko przypomniał, swoim autorytetem najwyższym, potwierdził i usankcjonował, iż kto by tę prawdę odrzucał, nie byłby wierny nauce Kościoła katolickiego. Papież umyślnie wybrał rok 1950 jako Rok Święty, by uwielbić Pana Jezusa, przez przypomnienie jedynego w swoim rodzaju na ziemi przywileju, jakim obdarzył On swoją Matkę, Maryję. THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY August 15 refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary being assumed body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life. Assumption is different than ascension because one is passive (i.e. one is assumed) and the other is active (i.e. one ascends). It is by the power of God Mary was assumed. As evidenced by the writings of many early Church fathers, Christians have believed for more than a millennium that the Blessed Virgin was assumed into heaven. In 1950, Pope Pius XII issued Munificentissimus Deus, which officially defined the Dogma of the Assumption. This means that the Church officially recognizes this belief as a true and necessary part of our Catholic beliefs about Mary. Like all beliefs about Mary, they illuminate our most treasured beliefs about her Son. The Assumption illustrates to us the truth about Christ s promise of eternal life and the resurrection of the faithful. Marriage Convalidation Ceremony with Bishop Mark O Connell Are you or someone close to you married but not with the blessing of the Church? Would you like to be married by a bishop? Bishop Mark O Connell has organized a group wedding, for those in the North Region of the Archdiocese of Boston, on Friday, October 4 at 6:00pm at Saint Anthony of Padua Parish, 250 Revere Street, Revere. The ceremony will be designed for couples not married in the Church to validate their marriages before Bishop O Connell. During the wedding ceremony, each couple will say their vows separately before him and their two witnesses. To sign up, each couple should contact their parish and be endorsed by their parish as free to marry and adequately prepared. Please register ahead of time with the Office of the Regional Bishop, North Region at or northregion@rcab.org. There will be no cost to the couples. Dress as you are comfortable.

6 The Fifteen Promises of Mary granted to those who Recite the Rosary Imparted to Saint Dominic and Blessed Alan 1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive signal graces. 2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary. 3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies. 4. The Rosary will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire for eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means. 5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish. 6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life. 7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church. 8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise. 9. I shall deliver from Purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary. 10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven. 11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary. 12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. 13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death. 14. All who recite the Rosary are my sons and daughters, and brothers and sisters of my only Son Jesus Christ. 15. Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

7 Saint John Paul II Shrine of Divine Mercy 28 St. Peter Street Salem, MA THE NEW ALTAR and IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR SHRINE Plans are underway for the new altar at our shrine. The Shrine has been blessed by the financial support from many donors. An amount of $60,000 has been raised to cover the cost of the altar. We also received a donation to cover the cost of the two images on either side of the altar. Currently the altar is being constructed in Poland and it will be sent here by ship. There s also an HVAC system in our plans to make the upper church more comfortable and also to fight with moisture in the upper church. We are also thinking about an elevator/lift to make our upper church available for everyone where the main altar with all the relics will be installed. We want it to be available for everyone so the next step is to make handicap bathrooms accessible. In the meantime, there is work to be done in preparation for the new altar. The masonry outside the church has been repaired as well as several small roof leaks. New gutters have been installed on the rectory. The inside walls behind the altar have been sealed and painted. The presbytery will have to be painted before the altar is installed. These repairs and renovations are costly and we need to raise funds for this purpose. You may also notice new insulated windows in the assembly room and the upper sacristy. These are a great improvement which will save on heating and cooling costs. There is also new fencing in front of the church. We are also in the process of looking to reopen our school building. This is a daunting task as the building needs major renovations. There are many men in the shrine community who have offered their time and skills to complete these projects. We would only have to pay for materials. In order to have heat and water in the school the pipes need to be repaired. The Archdiocese will cover this cost through insurance; however, we must have the asbestos covering the pipes removed. Asbestos removal is also necessary on the boiler and in the cafeteria. The second collections are presently held for this reason. I am grateful to those who, through spiritual and physical help, engage in the development of our church and school buildings. We wish to have the shrine attract many people who will find spiritual fulfillment and become disciples sharing the word of Christ to others. Thank you again for your kindness, prayers and financial support. May God bless you all. Please contact: Rector of the Shrine, Fr.
