Jeremy Feador & Lindsey Moomaw III Chris Maresh & Maura David III Tyler Lester & Leah Sefcik I OUR EASTER SYMBOLS The following is an ancient homily which inspired the decorations surrounding the tomb beneath the Passion Altar Something strange is happening there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and hell trembles with fear. He has come to search for our first parent, as for a lost sheep. Greatly desiring to visit those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, he has gone to free from sorrow the captives Adam and Eve, he who is both God and the son of Eve. The Lord approached them bearing the cross, the weapon that had won him the victory. At the sight of him Adam, the first man he had created, struck his breast in terror and cried out to everyone: My Lord be with you all. Christ answered him: And with your spirit. He took him by the hand and raised him up saying: Awake, o sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will give you light. I am your God who for your sake have become your son. Out of love for you and for your descendants I now by my own authority command all who are held in bondage to come forth, all who are in darkness to be enlightened, all who are sleeping to arise. I order you, o sleeper, to awake. I did not create you to be held a prisoner in hell. Rise from the dead, for I am the life of the dead. Rise up, work of my hands, you who were created in my image. Rise, let us leave this place, for you are in me and I am in you; together we form only one person and we cannot be separated. For your sake, I, your God, became your son; I, the Lord, took the form of a slave; I, whose home is above the heavens, descended to the earth beneath the earth. For your sake, for the sake of man, I became a man without help, free among the dea d. For the sake of you, who left a garden, I was betrayed to the Jews in a garden, and I was crucified in a garden. See on my face the spittle I received in order to restore you the life I once breathed into you. See there the marks of the blows I received in order to refashion your warped nature in my image. On my back see the marks of the scourging I endured to remove the burden of sin that eighs upon your back. See my hands, nailed firmly to a tree, for you who once wickedly stretched out your hand to a tree. I slept on the cross and a sword pierced my side for you who slept in paradise and brought forth Eve from your side. My side has healed the pain in yours. My sleep will rouse you from your sleep in hell. The sword that pierced me has sheathed the sword that was turned against you. Rise, let us leave this place. The enemy led you out of the earthly paradise. I will not restore you to that paradise, but I will enthrone you in heaven. I forbade you the tree that was only a symbol of life, but see, I who am life iteslef am now one with you. I apponted cherubim to guard you as slaves are guarded, but now I make them worship you as God. The throne formed by cherubim awaits you, its bearers swift and eager. The bridal chamber is adorned, the banquet is ready, the eternal dwellinng places are prepared, the treasure houses of all good things lie open. The kingdom of heaven has been prepared for you from all eternity. (David Krakowski)

4 Oto Matka twoja (1/3) A obok krzyża Jezusowego stały: Matka Jego i siostra Matki Jego, Maria, żona Kleofasa, i Maria Magdalena. Kiedy więc Jezus ujrzał Matkę i stojącego obok Niej ucznia, którego miłował, rzekł do Matki: «Niewiasto, oto syn Twój». Następnie rzekł do ucznia: «Oto Matka twoja». I od tej godziny uczeń wziął Ją do siebie. Potem Jezus świadom, że już wszystko się dokonało, aby się wypełniło Pismo, rzekł: «Pragnę». (J 19:25-28 BT) Ewangelia według św. Jana jest szczególną Ewangelią. Może ją czytać i rozumieć człowiek bez wykształcenia teologicznego, a z drugiej strony jest ona niewyczerpana nawet dla naukowców i mistyków. Jest w tym pewien paradoks: im kto dłużej studiuje i medytuje nad tym natchnionym tekstem, tym bardziej odkrywa, że ma do czynienia z głębinami, do których dna nie jest w stanie dotrzeć. I nie inaczej jest z tym tekstem umieszczonym na wstępie: z jednej strony jest on wymowny sam w sobie dla każdego człowieka dobrej woli bez specjalnego przygotowania biblijnego w tych słowach Pan daje umiłowanemu uczniowi swoją Matkę za matkę; z drugiej strony, żeby odkryć pełną wymowę tych słów Pana z krzyża, trzeba odczytać je w kontekście całej Ewangelii Janowej, a nawet całego Pisma św. A jest to ważne, ponieważ te słowa są testamentem duchowym zostawionym przez Pana swoim uczniom. Zanim zaczniemy zastanawiać się nad znaczeniem słów Pana, zwróćmy uwagę na fakt, że Pan daje swoją Matkę umiłowanemu uczniowi, a dosłownie: uczniowi, którego miłował nie ma wymienionego imienia. To może prowadzić do wniosku, że z uczniem, którego Pan miłuje może utożsamiać się każdy uczeń Pana, ponieważ każdy uczeń Pana jest kochany przez Niego i nie ma takiego ucznia Pana, który nie byłby przez Niego kochany. Cofnijmy się do początku Ewangelii według św. Jana: Na początku było Słowo, a Słowo było u Boga, i Bogiem było Słowo. (J 1:1 BT) Pierwsze zdanie czwartej Ewangelii zawiera aluzję do pierwszego zdania w Księdze Rodzaju: Na początku stworzył Bóg niebo i ziemię. Ale nie tylko pierwsze zdanie. Uważny czytelnik może odnaleźć w pierwszym rozdziale Ewangelii Janowej ukryte nawiązanie do pierwszego opisu stworzenia świata, a mówiąc dokładnie do struktury tego opisu opartego na siedmiu dniach. Bibliści mówią nam, że pierwszy opis jest hymnem, które strukturę tworzą upływające dni stwarzania. Niczym refren powtarza się w nim wyrażenie: I tak upłynął wieczór i poranek dzień pierwszy, drugi, itd. I coś podobnego do pierwszego opisu stworzenia znajdujemy na początku czwartej Ewangelii. Na początku u Jana nawiązuje do Na początku w Księdze Rodzaju. Jest to dzień pierwszy, który w Ewangelii Janowej przybiera historyczne kształty w dniu objawienia się Słowa, tzn. w dniu, w którym Jan Chrzciciel wobec przedstawicieli religijnych przywódców z Jerozolimy składa pierwsze świadectwo o Jezusie: Takie jest świadectwo Jana. Gdy Żydzi wysłali do niego z Jerozolimy kapłanów i lewitów z zapytaniem: Kto ty jesteś?, on wyznał, a nie zaprzeczył, oświadczając: «Ja nie jestem Mesjaszem». (J 1:19-20 BT) Dzień drugi: Nazajutrz zobaczył Jezusa, nadchodzącego ku niemu, i rzekł: Oto Baranek Boży, który gładzi grzech świata. (J 1:29 BT). Cdn. o.

MARCH PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS The PPC meeting from March 2012 covered an array of items, all which can be seen in more detail by reading copies available in the church vestibule. Highlights of the meeting included a review of the continuing school Lenten events and the upcoming Authors Tea (pictured in this bulletin a few weeks back). Liturgical and musical preparations were ongoing for the upcoming Holy Week and Easter celebrations. A calendar of upcoming events included May Crowning on May 3PM, Confirmation of May the annual Corpus Christi bi-lingual celebration on June 10:30 AM and the Franciscan Mass of Gratitude on Sunday May 24th at 11:30 AM. Work on the chimney from the campus boiler room was ongoing to be completed during the school Easter recess. The parish website control will soon be transferred to Glen Sobola and Jared Bartley under the guidance of Betty Dabrowski and Deb Grale. Christy Bartley is hard at work organizing and researching the Parish Directory project slated for the summer of PPC elections will be underway as planned with nominations accepted through Easter weekend. UPCOMING EVENTS Please note the dates AND times for the events highlighted above. These are some, but not all, of the things which are happening at our parish. The FOUR EAGLES banquet on May 7th is an important fundraiser! Also, remember our Memorial Day Mass on May 28th at 9 AM. School graduation (Kindergarten and Eight Grade) exercises will be held the first week of June. All of these events are open to all parishioners as well as to the general public. Please try to attend as many as possible and share the details of these items with friends who might be searching for a place to call home!

6 APRIL 22 KWIETNIA 2012 ST STAN S HISTORICAL FACT by Rob Jagelewski Current Parishioner and Alumnus of St. Stanislaus Elementary School and Cleveland Central Catholic, Jennifer Ostrowski, wrote a part of a Staged Reading of the production of, The Violence of One. Ostrowski not only wrote parts of the production but also played two roles in the play. The Violence of One, was written as part of a faculty/ student collaborative course over three semesters at Baldwin Wallace College. The production followed the consequences of the crimes of serial killers Jeffrey Dahmer and Anthony Sowell through the stages of dealing with grief. It was staged over April 13-14, 2012 at the Brecksville Old Town Hall. The Brecksville Theater on the Square is funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture. School Corner I am reaching out to you today with a very specific request. As our Eighth Graders finish their elementary school education and get ready for high school, the students are not the only ones working hard. Their parents are as well. Between finishing paying off tuition for us and reserving a spot in high school (which requires hundreds of dollars of course!), several of our families are having a hard time making all of their obligations. The specific request I am extending to you is this: Nine of our families are unable to pay the $40 graduation fee we require. Without this fee, their child cannot walk down the aisle of Saint Stanislaus Church and receive their well-deserved diploma and/or awards. These are not frivolous families. These are not new families to our school. These are families who believe in our mission, support our values, and continue to sacrifice to send their children to our school. Please help them! Deborah Ann Martin Principal.FOUR EAGLES BANQUET...MAY 4, 2012 Mark your calendar now and plan to attend the Four Eagles Banquet tickets are $75 per person ($35 of which is tax deductible) or reserve a table of 8 for $ (which is $68.75 per person).
