When we take part in the devotion of the Stations of the Cross, traditionally we say, "Because by Your Holy Cross You Have Redeemed the World." That means more than just the people of this world; it means all of creation. As good stewards, we are called to attest to the glory of God in all He has created. Everywhere we look we can see evidence of His handiwork and have the opportunity to reflect on how He has created the world for our benefit. Seeing all of creation as redeemed because of the Dying and Rising of Christ helps us with this reflection. Truly, all things are made new. With only two weeks left in Lent, we still have a chance to echo the words of this Sunday's Psalm, "Create a clean heart in me, O God." Perhaps we are unable to see the glory of God in creation because of our own sin. We need to repent and return to God, and then we can see with new eyes. Make this Easter a time for real, meaningful celebration as all of creation sings to the Lord.

V Niedziela Wielkiego Postu W czasie Wielkiego Postu pamiętajmy w modlitwie, że jesteśmy jedną, wielką i ludzką rodziną niezleżnie od naszych różnic. Odpowiadając na wezwanie, by kochać naszych bliźnich, promulgujemy kulturę szacunku i akcję wprowadzania pokoju we własne współnoty i w całym świecie. Począwszy od piątej niedzieli Wielkiego Postu, Kościół coraz bardziej koncentruje uwagę na tajemnicy Krzyża. Czyni to jednak nie po to, byśmy współczuli cierpiącemu Jezusowi i litowali się nad Nim, ale byśmy przyjęli owoce Jego męki i śmierci. Jezus zapowiada swoją mękę jako wywyższenie, gdyż to właśnie w krzyżu nastąpił tryumf nad szatanem i jego dziełami oraz najpełniej objawiła się Boża miłość do każdego człowieka. Jeśli wierzymy tej miłości i pozwalamy się jej ogarnąć, stajemy się zdolni do tego, by rozpoznać i ukochać doświadczenie krzyża również i w naszym życiu. A wtedy będziemy w nim widzieć drogę, która przez umieranie dla siebie prowadzi nas do wydania plonu na życie wieczne.
