ŚWIĘTO OFIAROWA IA PAŃSKIEGO (MATKI BOSKIEJ GROM ICZ EJ) W najbliższy wtorek 2 lutego obchodzić będziemy święto Ofiarowania Pańskiego zwane popularnie świętem Matki Bożej Gromnicznej. Maryja często udawała się do świątyni w Jerozolimie. Czterdziestego dnia po narodzeniu Jezusa udaje się razem z Józefem do świątyni, by ofiarować Jezusa Bogu Ojcu. Idzie nie tylko ofiarować, nie tylko doznać oczyszczenia przepisanego prawem, ale i podziękować za wielkie dary. Prorok Symeon całe życie czekał na moment, w którym zobaczy swojego Zbawiciela. Bóg wybrał ten czas i wezwał go do świątyni na modlitwę. Tak długo prosił o łaskę ujrzenia Zbawiciela. Symeon odczuł to jako największe szczęście, doświadczył zbawczej łaski. Maryja widziała rozradowane serce starszego człowieka Symeona. Szczęśliwy modlił się jak tylko umiał, niemal wyśpiewał pieśń triumfu...,, teraz mogę już odejść w pokoju, bo moje oczy ujrzały Boga - Światło na oświecenie pogan i chwałę ludu Twego Izraela (ŁK 2, 32). Maryja z bólem matczynego Serca musiała wziąć z sobą w życie dalsze słowa Symeona:,, Oto Ten przeznaczony jest na powstanie i na upadek dla wielu... a Serce Twoje przeniknie miecz boleści... Jezus jeszcze jako Dziecię staje się Światłem na oświecenie pogan. Światłem oświetlającym nasze drogi życia, dopóki nie zaświta nam dzień bez zachodu słońca, dzień naszego osobistego spotkania ze Zbawicielem. Światło na drodze wyraża dzisiaj poświęcona gromnica trzymana w naszych rękach. Tym blaskiem raduje się ludzkość całego świata, gdyż w tak niewytłumaczalny sposób, często przez nas jeszcze niepojęty rozświetla, opromienia ciemności. Znak świecy, a przede wszystkim gromnicy jako symbolu Chrystusa towarzyszy nam od dnia Chrztu Sw. Podtrzymuje nas w dniu I Komunii św., w wielu momentach życia, aż do śmiertelnego łoża poprzez burze, trudności i kataklizmy życia. Zapraszamy na Mszę św. w języku polskim w Święto Ofiarowania Pańskiego, 2 lutego o godz. 19:00.
