The Weeping Women Mary s friends see her approaching alongside the Cross carried by her Son. Mary! Jesus! they wail, they scream Jesus halts his procession for a brief moment as He waits for His Mother to speak with her kumoszki How can we help? Your baby looks horrible!! You are both in such pain!!!?? Jesus looks at his mother...she s trying her best to let her friends know it s all going to be okay...she fights back her tears and then, glancing once more at her Son, she breaks down! Jesus holds her up with his free hand, and puts her on his knee...the pieta in reverse...as he tries to wipe away her tears. Her lady friends all huddle around the two of them as they listen to Jesus quietly sing what resembles the same lullaby which Mary sang to him so many times...but they both know that the procession must go on.the ladies help up Jesus and Mary Together they all praise God in a short prayer...the procession moves on The weeping women continue to weep. One is 8 months pregnant. One just had an abortion. One has arthritis and can barely straighten up. One will soon die from cancer. One will go look for a rock of crack. One will run to tell her boyfriend. One will go buy groceries to prepare supper. One will go to the temple and pray. They will all go to sleep thinking of Jesus... and their kumoszka, David Krakowski SCHEDULE FOR MINISTERS Fourth Sunday 0f Easter, May 7, Maj 2005 Sat 5:00 PM Lectors Betty Dabrowski Euch. Min.

3 PASTORAL MESSAGE APRIL 30 KWIETNIA 2006 VERY EARLY IN THE MORN- ING while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb. Thus begins the resurrection account in the Gospel of John. As we read the above lines, we might wonder: Who in their right mind would get up so early in the morning and walk in the dark, especially when conditions were so dangerous? The disciples were all still afraid, perhaps for their own skin, because of what had happened to Jesus. Would they be next? Who is waiting around the corner to nab them, and do them harm? Why would anyone take such a risk? To be with Jesus. Then we might ask, who in their right mind would do that today? Who would get up early in the morning, while it is still dark, just to spend time with Jesus? Charlotte Kotek would. She does every day. She lives only a couple blocks away, but no matter what the weather is doing outside, she walks to church each and every morning by 5:30 or so. She opens the doors, changes the burned-out candles, gets the sanctuary ready for Mass, and then says her private prayers in the quiet of our shrine, alone with Jesus. She is the regular server at the 7:00 AM Mass, paying very close attention to all the details as well as to the idiosyncrasies of each priest. Then she moves on to visit the homes of several homebound people who depend on her to care for them in their daily personal Charlotte Kotek and household needs. She would be embarrassed to see her age in print for all to see, but let s just say it s been a while since her teenage years... After Jesus lay in the tomb for three days, it was the women who were the first ones to encounter the Risen Lord. The women were the ones who thought of bringing oils and spices to anoint Jesus body. It was the women who saw the angel and heard his astonishing words. It was the women who were the first evangelizers, the first to carry the good news to others that Jesus is risen. In her prayerful witness and care-filled attentiveness to those in need, our own Charlotte Kotek continues to proclaim what was first announced two thousand years ago. He is risen! Have you ever wondered how certain things get done around here, and who exactly does them? Our church community is blessed with many people who give such simple and consistent witness of prayer and service. They don t seek praise or recognition. They open and close the church, pick up the leftover bulletins, sweep and mop and dust, keep the sacristy in order, turn off the lights when we are done, dust the snow off the steps and ramp, sweep the leaves away in the fall, clear away the wilted flowers on and on. So many humble and important things, all accompanied with the whisper of a prayer. They hold a special and honored place in our community, and we are grateful to them for their faithful witness. Fr. Michael Jezu, ufam Tobie! W ostatnia niedziele, w czasie poludniowej modlitwy Regina Coeli przypomnial Ojciec swiety Benedykt XVI zaslugi swego poprzednika Jana Pawla II w szerzeniu kultu Bozego Milosierdzia. To wlasnie nasz Rodak ustanowil druga niedziele wielkanocna - Niedziela Bozego Milosierdzia. Stalo sie to dokladnie przed szesciu laty, 30 kwietnia 2000 roku. Bylo to z okazji kanonizacji blogoslawionej siostry Faustyny. Slusznie zostala ona nazwana apostolka Bozego Milosierdzia. Cale jej zycie bylo poswiecone szerzeniu tego kultu. Pan Jezus sam ja pouczal w licznych objawieniach. Mozemy o tym przeczytac w jej Dzienniczku, w którym opisuje swoje wewnetrzne przezycia. Lektura tej ksiazki jest czyms bardzo pozytecznym. Pewna siostra zakonna powiedziala mi, przez Dzienniczek Jezus stal sie dla niej blizszy. Ta odnowiona relacja z Jezusem pomogla tej siostrze przejsc przez ciezka choroba. Bardzo cierpiala, otarla sie o smierc, ale jak opowiedziala mi pózniej, pozostala wewnetrznie pelna pokoju. Mysle, ze warto dodac, ze ta siostra ma ponad 80 lat i cale jej zycie bylo oddane Bogu. Pomimo to, Dzienniczek byl dla niej cennym odkryciem i pomoca w poglebieniu wiezi z Jezusem. Chwala Panu! Ale wrócmy do przemówienia Benedykta XVI z ostatniej niedzieli. Papiez powiedzial o Sludze Bozym, ze tajemnica milosiernej milosci Bozej stanowila centrum jego pontyfikatu. Slusznie. Jan Pawel II glosil Milosierdzie Boze w swoim zyciu i nawet przez swoja smierc (zmarl, jak wiemy, w noc poprzedzajaca Niedziele Milosierdzia). Wymienmy najwazniejsze rzeczy: Karol Wojtyla, jeszcze jako kardynal krakowski, zezwolil na szerzenie kultu Bozego Milosierdzia, który przez pewien okres czasu byl zabroniony. Jako papiez glosil tajemnice milosiernej milosci Bozej, miedzy innymi przez enyklike na ten temat Dives in misericordia (Bóg bogaty w milosierdzie), oglosil siostre Faustyne Kowalska blogoslawiona, a pózniej swieta. W roku 2000, jak juz wspomnialem, ustanowil II niedziele wielkanocna Swietem Milosierdzia, a poswiecajac sanktuarium Bozego Milosierdzia w Krakowie na Lagiewnikach dwa lata pózniej, oddal swiat wlasnie Bozemu Milosierdziu. Przy tej okazji powiedzial, ze czczenie Bozego Milosierdzia nie jest jakas poboznoscia prywatna, lecz czyms, co nalezy do wiary i modlitwy ka zdego chrzescijanina. By lo jego pragnieniem, wszystkim przyblizyc Boze Milosierdzie, którego tak bardzo potrzebuje czlowiek i swiat wspólczesny. Potrzebuje, choc czesto o tym nie wie (Dives in misericordia). W swoim Dzienniczku pisze siostra Faustyna: Z Polski wyjdzie iskra, która przygotuje swiat na drugie przyjscie Chrystusa. Wczesniej myslalem, ze w tym proroctwie jest mowa o jakiejs wybitnej osobistosci i któzby inny mógl tu lepiej pasowej od Slugi Bozego Jana Pawla II? Dzisiaj sadze jednak, ze chodzi tu o nabozenstwo do Bozego Milosierdzia, które przez swieta Faustyne i Jana Pawla II wyszlo z Polski do calego swiata. Bo: nie zazna swiat pokoju, dopóki nie zwróci sie z zaufaniem do Bozego Milosierdzia (Dzienniczek). Trzeba wiec nam wolanie Kosciola : Przyjdz, Panie Jezu polaczyc z aktem strzelistym: Jezu, ufam Tobie. o. Placyd Kon
