Christ conquers! Chrystus Wodzem! Christus Regnat! Christ reigns! Chrystus Królem! Christus Imperat!Christ commands! Chrystus w³adc¹ nam! We sing these words as the procession of ministers moves through the church. This group represents the people of all the ages, past present and future. These representatives march and proclaim the greatness of Christ. You will only see the obvious the bishop, the priests, the servers. However, they are not alone! That procession actually contains all of creation, all matter and being for which Christ will ritually enter the drama of his passion, death and resurrection during the next week. It is this creation which was bought with His body and blood. It is this creation which has cried out for His love since Eden s apple. The hosannas of the Hebrews bearing olive branches scream out with our words, our silence, our stares as we enter this holiest of weeks. The hosanna to the Son of David, the King of Israel is still uttered in the Holy Land which caressed His blood and tears and that same paen still passes our lips at each Eucharistic Sacrifice. All saints and sinners who were the focus of Christ s act of love join our feeble attempt to celebrate, commemorate, consummate what God had breathed and what Angels but imagine. The Commander! The King! The Conqueror! He parades with all of us down the aisle and assumes His throne on the Cross and the in the empty tomb and in the end of time! Christus! Christ! Chrystus! The procession makes room for Stanis laus and John Paul the Great; for Fr. William and Sr.Death; for Souls yet being purified and for Souls perhaps forgotten! The procession invites in the lost and the hungry, the poor and the prisoners! The procession moves over the graves of those who have died in Christ and will rise with Him on the last day! The red and purple ribbons pierce the heavens as the palms weave and rustle. The procession pulls each of us into its life and ends at the throne of divine mercy, at the feet of He Who Is Who once appeared in the burning bush and now burns in the water which saved us at baptism. Christus vincit! Christus regnat! Christus imperat! David Krakowski SCHEDULE FOR MINISTERS Easter Sunday, April 8 Kwietnia 2007 Sat 8:30 PM Lector Betty Dabrowski Euch. Min.

3 PASTORAL MESSAGE APRIL 1, KWIETNIA 2007 LORD, LET ME WALK...that lonely road with you. So goes the refrain of a song we sing during Lent. It is an invitation to carry the cross with Jesus, but it is also an invitation to make pilgrimage with him. This weekend we begin the holiest of weeks with the Lord and with each other. We do not simply recall what happened to Jesus a long time ago. Rather, we are drawn into the very narrative itself. We yoke ourselves to him again, and we make his journey our journey, his passion our passion. The story of the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus is the story of everyone claimed by the waters of baptism. We know that our old self has been crucified with him. If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. (Romans 6:6,8) This week we will be visited by many who are seeking an encounter with the Lord. Our Shrine has indeed become a place of pilgrimage. And pilgrimage is a metaphor for the Christian life itself. We are all on a journey with the Lord, toward a deeper relationship with our Savior. Today we meet at the gates of Jerusalem, joined by our Bishop who begins Holy Week with us. Today we shout, Hosanna to our king! We also cry out, Crucify him! We break bread and drink wine. Take this, all of you We wash feet, and we get washed. Lord, not only my feet We betray, we deny, we turn our heads in shared shame. I tell you, I do not know him We wince at the lash. We bend under the weight of the wood. We plead with others along the way. Weep for your children We scream at the hammer and nails. They have pierced my hands and my feet We entrust our loves to others. Behold your mother We seek freedom from the burden of resentment. Father, forgive them We cry out our loneliness. Eloi, Eloi We surrender to the mystery. Into your hands And through it all, we profess faith. Surely, this man was the Son of God! This week, do your best to set some time aside just for the Lord. Join with your fellow pilgrims on our shared voyage through the gates of Jerusalem, via the upper room, over Pilate s porch, along the stony and dusty gravel, up to Golgotha, into the rocky cave. Come to confession Wednesday night. Come to Mass and adoration Thursday night. Come to the Passion Friday afternoon (you can still get to the Indians game on time later ). Come to the Vigil Saturday night. And then rejoice with your fellow Christians that Jesus on the cross is the Lord of life! Sing out the alleluias proclaiming that death is not the end, that light prevails over darkness, that evil is vanquished and life is eternal! When the Easter season begins next weekend, it will also be a time for farewell and welcome. Farewell to the parishioners (and pastor) continuing their Easter pilgrimage to the holy sites around Krakow, Poland. And, upon our return, welcome to the consecrated icon of our Patron Saint Stanislaus and our beloved Holy Father, Servant of God John Paul II. Please plan to attend the enthronement vespers on April 18 at 7:00 PM. May our holy journey this week truly bring us closer to the Lord of life and love. Fr. Michael Niezrozumialy dysonans Wydarzenie Niedzieli Palmowej odslania dysonans ludzkiego wnetrza. Pokazuje krancowosc ludzkich uczuc i zachowan. Wspomina o uroczystym wjezdzie Chrystusa do Jerozolimy. Jest to moment Jego szczególnej chwaly i triumfu. Ale juz za kilka dni w Wielki Piatek gdyby oceniaæ tylko po ludzku przyjdzie dzien wielkiego upokorzenia i kleski. Dlatego mo emy stwierdziæ, e te dwa dni charakteryzuja krancowo rózne ludzkie uczucia i zachowania wyra ane wobec Chrystusa, i to nie tylko przez postaci Ewangelii. Kiedy patrzymy na wjazd Chrystusa do Jerozolimy, widzimy, e ludzie, a w³aœciwie ogromne t³umy, wolaja na Jego widok hosanna synowi Dawida i rzucaja Mu pod nogi szaty i palmy. Uznaja w ten sposób w Nim Mesjasza, który wczeœniej na ich oczach dokona³ wielu cudów. Natomiast juz kilka dni potem zapewne ci sami ludzie krzycz¹ pod adresem Chrystusa: na krzyz z Nim. Czyz nie podobnie dzieje sie w sercu czlowieka? Jednego dnia cz³owiek potrafi wznies sie na szczyty heroizmu i œwiêtoœci, zas innego odslonic, ze jest bestia i okrutnikiem. Wpierw wielbi Boga modlitwa, by chwile potem z pe³n¹ œwiadomoœci¹ i dobrowoln ie deptac Boze przykazania. W jednym momencie przyjmuje Boga w Eucharystii, która daje mu zycie wieczne, a potem wchodzi w nieprawosc zla i otchlan grzechu, który pozbawia go przyjaÿni z Bogiem i zadaje cz³owiekowi duchowa smierc. Trzeba zatem dzis i w ci¹gu Wielkiego Tygodnia pytac siebie: które zachowania czlowieka i uczucia ludzkiego serca sa autentyczne i jedynie prawdziwe. Czy te z Niedzieli Palmowej, czy raczej te z Wielkiego Piatku. Trzeba to czynic w codziennym rachunku sumienia i przed kazda spowiedzia. Trzeba wciaz o to pytac, zw³aszcza, kiedy podczas Mszy œw. przyjmujemy Jezusa do serca i zapraszamy do naszego ycia. Misterium Meki Panskiej Egzystencjalnych i religijnych pytañ ci¹g dalszy Niedziela Palmowa jest zwiazana nie tylko z uroczystym wjazdem Jezusa do Jerozolimy. Kojarzy sie takze z Misterium meki i smierci Jezusa z Nazaretu. W Niedzielê Palmow¹ podczas liturgii jest odczytywany, bardzo czêsto z podzialem na role, ewangeliczny opis meki Chrystusa. Pojawia sie w nim wiele osób, które przejawiaja palete bardzo róznych uczuæ i zachowan. A ja powinienem sie odnalezc wsród nich i wi¹ pytaæ. Czy jestem Judaszem, który zdradzil swego Mistrza lub Piotrem, który sie Go zaparl? Matka pelna troski i bólu, czy Weronika ocierajaca Jego twarz lub kobieta, która pociesza i placze nad Chrystusem, ale która powinna plakac takze nad wlasnym dzieckiem. Czy chcê z Szymonem z Cyreny niesc krzyz Chrystusa? Moze blizej mi do tych, którzy podstêpnie oskarzyli Jezusa czy te do tchórzliwego Pilata, który w majestacie prawa skazal Go na niesprawiedliw¹ i haniebn¹ œmieræ? A moze chce byc jednak z tymi, którzy odwaznie do koñca stali pod krzyzem Chrystusa, a potem milosiernie urzadzili mu pogrzeb. Te pytania beda sie pojawiac w czasie Misterium meki i smierci Chrystusa dzis i w Wielki Piatek. Jeœli jestem odwa nym cz³owiekiem i chcê byæ autentycznym chrzeœcijaninem nie moge sie ich bac. Bernard Jan Potêpa OFM
