And coming to her, he said, Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you! But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end. But Mary said to the angel, How can this be, since I have no relations with a man? And the angel said to her in reply, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing is impossible for God. Mary said, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word. Then the angel departed from her. During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. (Lk 1:26-42) This past Friday we celebrated the feast of the Annunciation, a solemnity scheduled nine months prior to that of Christmas. The words we see above commemorate that sacred event when Mary said AMEN to the messenger sent by God, thus ushering in the next phase of salvation history, the incarnation of the Son of God. I must leave it to the discussions of those who know much more than I even dream to know about this subject, but in my mind this is a feast equal to that of Christmas, for at the very moment which Mary said yes, we believe Jesus became a human being in the fullest sense of the term. Within her womb for the next nine months he stayed as he was fed by the body and blood of his mother! He who would later feed us for eternity his own body and blood was first to learn that sacrificial act of love from she who was chosen by God to be the one who would support and nourish the life of the very author of life. The mother of Jesus becomes the mother of the Eucharist because of her faith in the words from God delivered to her by Gabriel. Later as mother of the Church she further served as the blueprint for the sacramental life and graces flowing from the Eucharist just as she once nourished Jesus within her womb. As we approach the ritual day when we commemorate the institution of the Holy Eucharist at the hands of Jesus, let us recall this earlier sacred event in his life and the life of his mother. May the love and the life which she gave him now enter into each of us. May that very same love and life likewise flow outward from our own beings into the world as we say AMEN following the example of Mary. Think of this the next time you pray an Hail Mary.

3 PASTORAL MESSAGE January 3 Stycznia 2010 Pastoral Message MARCH 27 MARCA 2011 With Humility Comes Wisdom (Proverbs 11:2) Many sports fans are well-acquainted with the name of Don Shula, the former coach of the Miami Dolphins football team. He was successful as a coach; among his big accomplishments was winning Super Bowl VII and VIII. Shula relates one of his favorite stories as it appeared in the St. Petersburg Times.: He went on a family vacation to a small town in Maine. Since it was raining one afternoon, he took his wife and five children to a matinee movie in the only theatre in town. When they arrived at the theatre, the house lights were still on. There were only six people in the theater. When Shula and his family walked into the theater, all six people stood up and applauded. He acknowledged their applause with a wave and smile. As he sat down, he turned to his wife and said, We are a thousand miles from Miami and they are giving me a standing ovation. They must be getting the Dolphin games on tv all the way up here. Shortly, a man came up to shake his hand. Shula was overjoyed and asked the man, How did you recognize me? The man answered, Sir, I have no idea who you are. But, this I know. Just before you and your family walked in the theater manager told us that unless four or more people walk in we wouldn t have a movie today. Don Shula experienced a moment of humility that he will never forget. Even with fame and fortune, Don Shula showed that a little humilty helped to build and maintain his great character. No matter how high we are in rank of authority or on the level of financial success, humility will eventually confront us. I remember reading about George H. Bush, the father of George W. Bush. One day he requested to make a visit to one of the nearby nursing homes. He exits the limo and is escorted into the building. He begins a walk in this long corridor. Soon, he sees an old man hobbling with cane toward him. The president stops the man, and says to him, Good morning, sir, do you know who I am? No, replied the old man, but if you ask one of the nurses...they can tell you! People will recognize and acknowledge us anytime we are humble, wide open to view, spiritually transparent. When we hide under the mask of self-importance, the costumes of pride, power and prestige, and the cloak of ill-perceived success and fame, no one will pay any attention to us. To be ourselves, to be our very Best selves, dedicated to serving others, indeed, the Lord will look down upon us and smile. As Jesus says, if you wish to be great, then be a servant to the rest. Too often we are tempted to pretend to be someone other than what we are. God doesn t make mistakes even when he made us. We are valuable and very important in the heart and mind of God. God chooses the weak and makes them strong. That corroborates what I just said! Jesus selected the lowly, ordinary, simple, HUMBLE people to carry on his mission the humble shall be exalted and the exalted shall be humbled. Which part of this equation are you? Oh, Really????? Fr. Len Spotkanie Pana Jezusa Spotkanie Pana Jezusa z Samarytanką Rzekła do Niego kobieta: Daj mi tej wody, abym już nie pragnęła Dzisiejsza ewangelia zaprasza nas między innymi do refleksji nad rolą kobiety w naszym życiu. Jezus bardzo często na kartach Pisma świętego spotyka się z kobietami. Wspomnijmy niektóre z tych spotkań: spotkanie z jawnogrzesznicą w domu Szymona Trędowatego, z wdową z Naim, która odprowadza na cmentarz swojego jedynego syna, często odwiedza dom swojego przyjaciela Łazarza w Betanii i tam spotyka się z Martą i Marią, pochwala postaw ubogiej wdowy, która wrzuciła do skarbony dwa małe pieniążki, spotkanie z Syrofenicjanką, spotkanie z kobietą cierpiącą od 12 lat na krwotok, spotkanie z kobietą pochyloną, i wiele, wiele innych. Spotkanie te pokazują, że nasz Pan bardzo docenia świat kobiety. Ta ewangeliczna nauka skłania nas do pochylenia się nad miejscem i rola kobiety w naszym życiu, a szczególnie nad cudem, który dokonuje się na naszych oczach codziennie w osobach naszych matek, żon, córek, a mianowicie zamiany szarej doczesności w szczęśliwą codzienność. Trud mężczyzny da się wymiernie ocenić. Natomiast trud kobiety tworzącej szczęśliwą codzienność poprzez zwykłe domowe czynności, jak pranie, gotowanie, prasowanie, sprzątanie, wychowywanie dzieci itp. jest bardzo trudny do wyceny. Nikt kobietom w naszych domach za te tysiące drobiazgów wykonywanych codziennie aż do znudzenia nie płaci i bardzo rzadko dziękuje. Co powoduje, ten cud dokonuje się na naszych oczach? Myślę, że odpowiedź jest bardzo prosta. ONE POTRAFIĄ KOCHAĆ. To miłość powoduje, że nasze domy są wypełnione wonią miłości codziennego trudu kobiety. Jakże one są podobne do Matki Bożej, która wykonywała wszystkie prace z miłości do Jezusa i Józefa. Jestem pewien, że większość kobiet naszego życia zostaje świętymi przez dokonywanie tego właśnie cudu. On nie polega na przygotowaniu świątecznej czy urodzinowej kolacji, ale dokonuje się codziennie. Jak miło wracać nam mężczyznom, dzieciom, wnukom do takiego domu. Gdyby tam nie pachniało miłością nie chciałoby się wracać szybko po pracy, szkole do domu. Tym słowem chcemy złożyć pocałunek wdzięczności na ich spracowane dłonie i uczyć się od Jezusa szacunku dla kobiet, które tyle dobra czynią dla nas codziennie. A ciebie kobieto zapraszam, abyś odnalazła się w którymś z ewangelicznych spotkań Jezusa z kobietą. Może jesteś podobna do tej, która już tak wielu i wiele odprowadziła na cmentarz. Może jesteś od dawna pochylona i nie potrafisz podnieść oczu do góry i wyprostować się. A może coś krwawi od dawna w twoim życiu lub popełniłaś wiele błędów i zostałaś przez najbliższych potępiona. Podejdź do Jezusa, twojego Przyjaciela i poproś jak bohaterka dzisiejszej ewangelii, aby Pan dał ci wody żywej, która zaspokoi wszystkie pragnienia twojego kobiecego serca, a potem oddawaj Cześć Panu w duchu i prawdzie dokonując dalej cudu zamiany szarej doczesności w szczęśliwą codzienność dla twoich najbliższych. Amen O. Teodor Knapczyk OFM
