As in last week s reading, Amos confronts us with a condemnation of those whose lives are focused on pleasure and self-absorption. The psalm contrasts that focus with the Lord s justice for the oppressed; food the hungry; freedom for captives; sight to the blind; raising of those who are bowed down; loving the just; protecting strangers, orphans, and the widow; and by doing so, thwarting the way of the wicked. Timothy urges the pursuit of righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Luke tells the familiar tale of the wealthy man and the poor beggar at his doorstep, who experience life very differently in this world and in the next. We are once again being given clear indications about how God intends for us to live our lives. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

From the Pastor s Desk Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ! Today, with a great gratitude, I thank all parishioners and visitors for your participation in our parish Harvest Day celebrations. Thank you very much for joining us last Sunday and making this celebration a very special one. I embrace all parishioners and those who come to pray in our church with my heartfelt, priestly prayer. Jesus, I Trust in You! Fr. Mariusz In observance of the St. Francis of Assisi Feast, blessing of the animals will take place Friday, October 4th, 2019 at 3:15 pm in the parking lot by the statue of St. Francis. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Over the past century, a desire to recover a deep sense of unity among all believers in Christ has grown. The ecumenical movement (from the Greek word meaning the the whole inhabited world ) began among Protestant Christians, but was given great energy in 1920 with a letter from the Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople, calling for closer dialogue and cooperation among Christians. In 1960, Pope John XXIII invited Protestant and Orthodox observers to the Second Vatican Council. In 1964, the Council s Decree on Ecumenism named these Christians separated brethren, a huge leap forward from the time of labeling them as outside the Church. A year later, a new pope, Paul VI, and the Orthodox Patriarch officially nullified the condemnations that walled off East from West for nine hundred years. The pace and optimism of the 1960s has sadly waned, and the signs of progress toward unity are few; yet there are wider agreements on sharing Communion among various Christian denominations, and among Protestants agreements regarding sharing of ecclesiastical life and ministry. Among the success stories of the ecumenical movement are greater cooperation among Christian clergy, a similar Lectionary for Protestants and Catholics, and even experiments in the monastic life and common worship.

Drodzy Bracia i Siostry! Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza Page 5 Falujące łany zbóż. Czy współczesny człowiek je widzi? Czy umie tym widokiem się cieszyć? A może przyznać się wstydzi. Czy to wstyd podziwiać, i zatrzymać się w zachwycie? Przecież zboże, to chleb. A chleb to życie! Dziś ludzi nie interesuje, niewielu to obchodzi, W jakim czasie i trudzie, ziarno na chleb sie rodzi. Mało się mówi o jego świętości, szacunku nie uczy się dziecka. Gdy powiem, że chleb to dar Boży, to jestem staroświecka? Niech każdy na własnej skórze doświadczy, że chleb na półce sklepowej nie rośnie, Chociaż raz weźmie udział w żniwach, tak będzie najprościej. Bo, gdy coś łatwo przychodzi, lub bez naszej pomocy powstaje, Uważamy, że to takie proste, ale tak nam się tylko wydaje. Dziś z wielką wdzięcznością pragnę WAM podziękować za bardzo liczny udział we Mszy Świętej Dożynkowej tydzień temu oraz za wspólną biesiadę przy rodzinnym stole. Dziękuję pocztom sztandarowym za udział w liturgii dożynkowej, dary ołtarza oraz piękne wieńce dożynkowe. Słowa podziękowań kieruję więc do: Koła nr 69 Skrzypne, Koła nr 24 Szaflary, Koła nr 34 Zakopane, Klubu Rogoźnik Stare Bystre, Koła nr 65 Ciche Dolne oraz Koła nr 52 - Czerwienne parafii Miętustwo, Koła nr 75 Dzioł, Koła nr 49 - Kluszkowce oraz Koła nr 54 Kościelisko wraz z zespołem muzycznym. Dziękuję dziecięcym zespołom muzycznym za ubogacenie liturgii. Dziękuję zespołowi: Gronik, Szaflary, Chochołów, Kościelisko i Karolinie Nowobilskiej. Dziękuję tym wszystkim, którzy zatroszczyli się o to, abyśmy nie byli głodni i spragnieni. Bardzo dziękuję: Polskiej parafialnej szkole im. ks. Ignacego Posadzego, Polskiej szkole im.
