HUMILITY Have you ever been in a group of people maybe on a tour, at a social gathering, or at church and discovered that you have just been talking with a well-known author, corporate CEO, great scholar, or politician? Your first thought is the hope that you didn t say anything to embarrass yourself; but your second thought is how much they seemed like such regular folks. What is it that makes people seem so regular? Today s readings give us a clue when they stress the importance of LET US PRAY FOR THE SICK humility. It is so hard for us not to tell the first person who will listen how busy we are, how hard we work, how much money we donate, and how important our job titles are. We think these accolades make a difference to people, and if we don t tell them, how will they ever know? But if our actions demonstrate our values, people will recognize our worth on their own. The words of Jesus show us how much better it is to let someone else recognize our worth than to be embarrassed because someone did not. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Dear Friends! I am very happy here with you at St. Albert the Great Parish. It is easy to notice that Jesus graces us here with many gifts; work on the church roof is moving along, weather for the parish carnival is cooperating, our children and teachers happily began another school year. For this, let us praise Our Good Lord Jesus Christ. For all who would like to see current happenings at our parish in pictures, I invite you to visit us on Facebook or log in to our parish website (www.stalbertgreat.com). Jesus graces everyone daily with His blessings, but are we really happy? Today, I would like to share with you a wonderful, quick recipe for happiness you should use every day: Combine 4 cups of love with 2 cups of loyalty 3 cups of forgiveness with 1 cup of friendship add 2 tsp of tenderness and 4 tsp of faith add spice of goodness and understanding mix all ingredients in a barrel of laughs place it in faith s baking dish generously sprinkle with smile, friendship and love. bake in the sun uncovered for 15 minutes serve immediately in large portions! Bon Appétit! I would like to thank you for your kindness and concern for the church and priests. I wish you all a blessed and peaceful week. "Jesus, I trust you"! Fr. Mariusz. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Perhaps the most familiar traditional symbol that identifies bishops is the crosier that they carry. We see the shepherd s staff and immediately rich images from scripture come to mind, as well as the recollection that the first to respond to Christ s presence in our world were the shepherds. The staff is more than a walking stick; its crooked top is useful in snaring errant sheep but also in keeping the flock united. Bishops carry the curve outward, indicating their ministry to the wider flock, while abbots (and some abbesses, too) carry the crosier with the curve pointing in, indicating that their ministry is to the monastery alone. The crosier was once also carried by the pope, but was phased out centuries ago. You may recall that in pre- popemobile days, the pope was often carried around on a portable throne called a sedia gestatoria. Since he didn t do much walking, the need for a Page 3 crosier was minimal. Pope Paul VI introduced the innovation of a walking staff in the 1960s, and everyone remembers Pope John Paul II s walking staff, not a crook, but a delicately sculptured crucifix. Thus, the pope carries a pastoral staff rather than a crosier. Precisely because the pope s ministry is universal, to the whole world, popes will likely leave crosiers in the hands of the bishops they commission for care of specific flocks.

Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza Drodzy Przyjaciele! Jestem bardzo szczęśliwy i radosny będąc z wami! Pan Jezus każdego dnia obdarza nas hojnie swoimi łaskami i darami. Jak widzicie sami, prace remontowe naszego dachu przebiegają bardzo sprawnie, pogoda w czasie karnawału nam sprzyja, dzieci, młodzież i nauczyciele są szczęśliwe w naszej szkole. Za to wszystko niech Jezus będzie uwielbiony! Na stronie internetowej naszej parafii (www.stalbertgreat.com) i na Facebook możecie zobaczyć zdjęcia z tych wszystkich wydarzeń, które aktualnie dzieją się w naszej wspólnocie parafialnej. A ty, czy jesteś człowiekiem szczęśliwym? Dzisiaj, chcę podzielić się z wami Przepisem na Szczęście! Cztery filizanki miłości oraz dwie filiżanki lojalności. Trzy filiżanki przebaczenia i filiżanka przyjaźni. Dwie łyżeczki czułości i cztery łyżeczki wiary. Dodaj do tego beczkę radości i uśmiechu. Nastepnie miłość proszę połączyć z lojalnością i starannie proszę to wymieszać z wiarą. Proszę przyprawić dobrocią, czułością i wyrozumiałością. Obficie to skropić uśmiechem i dodać przyjaźń i miłość. Wszystko to proszę wypiekać na słońcu. I proszę pamiętać; podawać codziennie w obfitych porcjach! Smacznego! Składam serdeczne podziękowanie za wiele przejawów dobroci, życzliwości i troski o nasz kościół oraz o kapłanów. Życzę wszystkim parafianom i odwiedzającym nasz kościół błogosławionego tygodnia! Jezu, ufam Tobie! Fr. Mariusz. Polska Katolicka Szkoła im. ks. Ignacego Posadzego jest Parafialną Szkołą Świętego Alberta Wielkiego. Zapraszamy wszystkich Rodziców, a szczególnie tych którzy przynależą do naszej parafii do skorzystania z katolickiego programu nauczania w Szkole, która odwołuje się do chrześcijańskich wartości, o które każdy z nas powinien zabiegać, pielęgnować je i przekazywać. W ten sposób popieramy i wspieramy naszą parafię. Pamiętajmy, że Szkoła w swej naturze jest instytucją pomocniczą i dopełniającą działalność Rodziny i Kościoła. Rodzina, Szkoła i Kościół tworzą jakby jeden ścisły organizm wychowania chrześcijańskiego. Każda z tych wymienionych instytucji, nie jest w stanie POJEDYŃCZO wychować, umocnić i ochronić dorastające w dzisiejszym świecie dzieci. Wskazana jest współpraca między domem - szkołą - Kościołem. Nie jest dobrze, gdy dziecko czegoś innego uczy się w domu, niż w szkole czy w Kościele. Musimy zadbać o jedność w działaniu czyli w wychowywaniu, a wtedy będziemy silniejsi, a tym samym dzieci będą silniejsze, dumne ze swego POLSKIEGO POCHODZENIA i z WYZNAWANEJ WIARY!
