QUEENSHIP OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY August 22nd O Mary Immaculate Queen, look down upon this distressed and suffering world. Thou knowest our misery and our weakness. O Thou who art our Mother, saving us in the hour of peril, have compassion on us in these days of great and heavy trial. Jesus has confided to thee the treasure of His Grace, and through Thee He wills to grant us pardon and mercy. In these hours of anguish, therefore, thy children come to Thee as their hope. We recognize thy Queenship and ardently desire thy triumph. We need a Mother and a Mother's Heart. Thou art for us the luminous dawn which dissipates our darkness and points out the way to life. In thy clemency obtain for us the courage and the confidence of which we have such need. Most Holy and Adorable Trinity, Thou Who didst crown with glory in Heaven the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Savior, grant that all her children on earth may acknowledge her as their Sovereign Queen, that all hearts, homes, and nations may recognize her rights as Mother and as Queen. Amen. Saint Bartholomew s Story In the New Testament, Bartholomew is mentioned only in the lists of the apostles. Some scholars identify him with Nathanael, a man of Cana in Galilee who was summoned to Jesus by Philip. Jesus paid him a great compliment: Here is a true Israelite. There is no duplicity in him (John 1:47b). When Nathanael asked how Jesus knew him, Jesus said, I saw you under the fig tree (John 1:48b). Whatever amazing revelation this involved, it brought Nathanael to exclaim, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel (John 1:49b). But Jesus countered with, Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this (John 1:50b). Nathanael did see greater things. He was one of those to whom Jesus appeared on the shore of the Sea of Tiberias after his resurrection (see John 21:1-14). They had been fishing all night without success. In the morning, they saw someone standing on the shore though no one knew it was Jesus. He told them to cast their net again, and they made so great a catch that they could not haul the net in. Then John cried out to Peter, It is the Lord. When they brought the boat to shore, they found a fire burning, with some fish laid on it and some bread. Jesus asked them to bring some of the fish they had caught, and invited them to come and eat their meal. John relates that although they knew it was Jesus, none of the apostles presumed to inquire who he was. This, John notes, was the third time Jesus appeared to the apostles. We are confronted again with the fact that we know almost nothing about most of the apostles. Yet the unknown ones were also foundation stones, the 12 pillars of the new Israel whose 12 tribes now encompass the whole earth. Their personalities were secondary without thereby being demeaned to their great office of bearing tradition from their firsthand experience, speaking in the name of Jesus, putting the Word Made Flesh into human words for the enlightenment of the world. Their holiness was not an introverted contemplation of their status before God. It was a gift that they had to share with others. The Good News was that all are called to the holiness of being Christ s members, by the gracious gift of God. The simple fact is that humanity is totally meaningless unless God is its total concern. Then humanity, made holy with God s own holiness, becomes the most precious creation of God.

5 Uwielbiajmy Boga w pięknie stworzonego świata. Dziękujmy za tak wiele łask, jakich nieustannie nam udziela. Rozejrzyjmy się wokół siebie i zobaczmy piękne dzieła Boże. Czy jednak podziwiając to piękno pamiętamy o Stwórcy wszystkiego? Podczas wakacji pamiętajmy, że On na nas czeka i zróbmy jeden krok w Jego kierunku. Aby w czasie wakacji nie zabrakło czasu... Idźcie i odpocznijcie nieco - mówi Jezus do Apostołów zmęczonych pracą ewangelizacyjną. Przeżywamy czas wakacji, czas zasłużonego odpoczynku po długiej i mozolnej pracy. Czy jest to jednak czas bez Boga? Jezus wraz z apostołami udaje się na miejsce osobne, nie zostawia ich samych. A czy z nami na wakacje wyjeżdża Pan Bóg? On bardzo chce, ale to od nas zależy czy Go zabierzemy. Na czas wakacji nie zamyka się kościołów, nie zawiesza się sprawowania sakramentów. A więc tylko ode mnie zależy czy wakacje będą czasem z Bogiem. Tak często powtarzamy, że nie mamy czasu na modlitwę, na lekturę Pisma Świętego, na Eucharystię czasem nawet niedzielną bo tyle pracy, obowiązków, zabiegania. Przed nami wakacje czas wolniejszy, mniej zabiegany. Czy jednak będzie to także czas dla Boga i z Nim? Nie zostawiajmy Pana Boga na czas wakacji. Wręcz przeciwnie, jeszcze bardziej do Niego przylgnijmy. Znajdźmy chwilę na częstszą Eucharystię, modlitwę, lekturę Bożego Słowa. Za wszystko dziękować Uwielbiajmy Boga w pięknie stworzonego świata. Dziękujmy za tak wiele łask, jakich nieustannie nam udziela. Rozejrzyjmy się wokół siebie i zobaczmy piękne dzieła Boże. Możemy odpoczywać z Panem i przy Nim. Taki odpoczynek umocni nas duchowo. Wakacje, odpoczynek także są darem Pana. Niech więc będą przeżywane i wykorzystane jak dar, za który należy się wdzięczność. Dziękując stajemy się lepsi, radośniejsi, mniej pretensjonalni. Czasem chyba tak trudno dostrzec nam Boży dar. Czas wakacji może być wspaniałą okazją do tego, by uświadomić sobie, że wszystko jest łaską i za każdą podziękować. Wyjeżdżamy w różne piękne zakątki kraju i świata. Czy jednak podziwiając to piękno pamiętamy o Stwórcy wszystkiego? Trzeba nam może wyrobić w sobie pewną wrażliwość duchową, świadomość stwórczą. Ziemia dana nam jest przez Pana. To dla nas stworzył On ten piękny świat. A my czasem zachowujemy się tak, jakby wszystko nam się należało. Uczmy się wdzięczności. On na nas czeka Pan Bóg się nie narzuca, ale cierpliwie czeka na nasz krok. On wciąż jest i czuwa nad każdym z nas. Tak wiele chce nam dać. Tak bardzo chce, byśmy byli szczęśliwi. Tylko On wie, co nam do tego szczęścia jest potrzebne i właśnie tym chce nas obdarzyć. A my? Czasem a może często chcemy żyć po swojemu. Nie pytać Pana o Jego wolę. Ewentualnie poprosić, by to On dostosował się do naszej. Podczas wakacji pamiętajmy, że On na nas czeka i zróbmy jeden krok w Jego kierunku. Niech kościoły nie będą puste. Jezus nie chce być sam zamknięty w tabernakulum. On chce, byś przyszedł, porozmawiał z Nim, trwał w Jego obecności. On chce, by Jego Słowo było żywe w twoim życiu. Sięgnij więc po nie i czytaj, słuchaj, rozważaj. I nie mów, że nie masz czasu. Sw Bartłomiej 24 Sierpien Natanael jak to opisuje św. Jan został przyprowadzony do Jezusa przez św. Filipa. U pozostałych ewangelistów wymienianie go zawsze razem z Filipem wskazuje, że byli jakoś ze sobą związani. Dlatego od IX wieku w Kościele zachodnim Bartłomiej utożsamiany jest z Natanaelem. Najprawdopodobniej nazywał się Natanael Bar Tholomai, czyli Natanael syn oracza. Według starożytnych pisarzy chrześcijańskich Bartłomiej po Wniebowstąpieniu Chrystusa głosił Ewangelię w najbardziej barbarzyńskich krajach Wschodu. Podobno dotarł aż do Indii, gdzie w III stuleciu pokazywano św. Pantenowi egzemplarz Ewangelii spisany po hebrajsku, który miał tam zostawić Bartłomiej. Według św. Jana Chrystostoma św. Bartłomiej zaniósł Dobrą Nowinę ludom Likaonii, natomiast św. Grzegorz z Tones podaje, że ostatnim miejscem jego działalności apostolskiej była Mezopotamia. Tam poniósł śmierć męczeńską przez odarcie ze skóry lub przez ukrzyżowanie.
