Kovelan Irena Boc Charlotte Kotek THE MERCEDARIANS ARE HERE!! Want to hear what s hopping in Cuddaph, India this season? Well, this weekend you will hear it right from the mouth of Fr. Joy Mattamal, a Missionary from the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy (commonly known as Mercederians). Fr. Joy (currently studying in Rome) is a member of the Order. His appeal to us will be for assistance for the project known as Mercy Home, a refuge established for street children in Cuddaph. Many children of that city come to Mercy Home malnourished and afflicted with various diseases. The oasis provided by your kind help will be deeply appreciated by them. The Mercederians are an Order founded back in 1218, their original purpose to redeem captives in Muslim controlled Spain from losing their faith. Now they concentrate their efforts on other works of mercy in parishes, prisons, hospitals and missions. Their work in Cuddaph is similar to the work available in any large city riddled with poverty and violence common throughout the world. They look with the eyes of Jesus, and see endless opportunities for service in a city of piety. Their specific goal from this year s mission appeal is to be able to raise enough funds to allow them to double the capacity of the Mercy Home. This harbor allows the possibility of a safe haven for numerous boys and girls giving them a better chance at education in various trades as well as simply becoming productive members of their society. Here is another chance for us to live as Eucharistic people, as walking monstrances in the world. We can all contribute, even a little, to help these children, these fellow human beings, longing for the chance to someday do the same for others. The mercy Home can protect them until they can move into the world knowing they were not just overlooked by fellow Catholics, but seen as brothers and sisters. The children have the same hands of Jesus as we do, the same mouths, the same eyes. The touch, see and speak His love despite their economically challenged environment. Your own small or large sacrifice will become a huge sign of hope for each of them, proof that Jesus does care for each one of them. If we cannot help the neediest, the most vulnerable in the world, we must never call ourselves Christians. Pray over this and then let Jesus guide your response. You already know what He expects of you. David Krakowski
Człowieku, zwolnij! Dzisiejsza Liturgia Słowa podejmuje dwa problemy: wolności i odpowiedniej motywacji. Jezus jest człowiekiem wolnym i wzorem wolności dla nas. Ukazuje się nam jako człowiek wolny od pragnienia zemsty, wolny od zbytnich wygód, wolny od więzów rodzinnych i wolny od przeszłości. Swoją postawą chce dziś nam ukazać nasze chrześcijańskie powołanie do bycia wolnym. Dziś obserwujemy wielu ludzi zniewolonych przez najróżniejsze rzeczy, od nikotyny i alkoholu poprzez telefony i muzykę, aż po obmowę i wścibską ciekawość. Święty Paweł podpowiada nam, że wolność to odpowiedni stosunek do sfery cielesności w naszym życiu. Nie wszystko zależy od ciała i od zdrowia. Nawet w chorobie i cierpieniu można być blisko Boga i zbierać owoce uświęcenia. Potrzeba jednak odpowiedniego stanu ducha. Nie należy ciałem gardzić, bo jest ono elementem składowym naszego człowieczeństwa, ale wskazać mu odpowiednie miejsce. Nie można poddać się dyktaturze ciała. O ciało i zdrowie należy dbać, ale nie przesadnie. Tyle czasu, ile poświęcam na troskę i pielęgnację ciała, tyle samo powinienem poświęcić dbałości o sferę duchową. Codzienna 10 minutowa toaleta rano i wieczorem, to wezwanie do higieny duszy jaką jest modlitwa, codzienny rachunek sumienia. Ciało, by człowiekowi pomagało, trzeba umartwić, by nie wynosiło się ponad ducha, by była równowaga. Jezus wyzbywa się domu, założenia rodziny, rozpamiętywania przeszłości, aby wskazać, że istnieją w życiu inne wartości. My posiadamy domy, mieszkania, rodziny, ale to jeszcze nie wszystko. Mamy dóbr ziemskich tak używać, by nie przeszkadzały nam w dążeniu do Boga. Oprócz dbałości o dom i o rodzinę mamy dbać o królestwo Boże, o jego rozwój w naszych sercach i świecie. Wolność, której chce nas nauczyć Jezus jest pewnym świętym dystansem do rzeczy doczesnych. Mam pieniądze, ale to nie one mną rządzą. Umiem się podzielić. Mam piękny dom, ale umiem ugościć w nim ubogiego, biednego. Kocham moją żonę, ale wspólnie poświęcamy czas na modlitwę. Czy w moim domu, rodzinie, życiu jest miejsce dla królestwa Boga, które realizuje się w przykazaniu miłości Boga i bliźniego. Iluż ludzi dziś jest zniewolonych pracą? Zarabiają bez końca i co z tego? Człowieku, zwolnij! Zainwestuj trochę w duszę. Ludzie, którzy zapomnieli, że mają duszę, żyją, ale są umarli i grzebią, jak mówi Chrystus, swoich umarłych, zajmując się wyłącznie jedzeniem, piciem, urządzaniem, zarabianiem, pomnażaniem majątku. Nie dajmy się przykuć do ziemi, trzeba spotkać Boga, by wznieść się wyżej. Zbyt krótkie jest życie, by cały czas trzymać głowę umoczoną w tysiącu nawarstwiających się spraw. A gdy sprawy nas przytłaczają, to modlitwa, adoracja i Komunia Święta, a może podjęta w czasie wakacyjnym czy urlopowym lektura Biblii wskażą nam prawdziwy dystans do tego, co tak szybko przemija. Człowieku, jesteś powołany do wspólnoty z Bogiem! Tej wspólnoty uczymy się już tu na ziemi, kiedy spotykamy się z tym, co wieczne w modlitwie, sakramentach. Żyć w pełni, to odkryć głębię swego ducha. Nie dajmy się zniewolić rzeczami zewnętrznymi. Odważnie spełniając obowiązki, szukajmy Boga! On mieszka w naszej duszy i chce nas zachować, byśmy już tu na ziemi nie byli jak umarli, grzebiący swoich umarłych. autor: ks. Wojciech Silski CO TO SĄ INTENCJE MSZALNE? Piękną tradycją Kościoła sięgającą starożytnych czasów jest ofiarowanie Mszy św. w poszczególnych intencjach - sprawach polecanych Panu Bogu. Najczęściej Msze św. są ofiarowane za zmarłych z naszych rodzin, ale Msza św. może być ofiarowana także w intencjach żywych: z okazji imienin, rocznic, o zdrowie, o szczęśliwe rozwiązanie we wszystkich sprawach, które polecamy w naszych modlitwach. Chociaż owoce każdej Mszy św. są udziałem całego świata, to jednak kapłan może mieć także na uwadze konkretną intencję. Najczęściej intencja jest wymieniona imiennie w Biuletynie, ale jeśli jest to Msza św. koncelebrowana, to drugi kapłan ofiaruje Mszę św. w innej intencji, niż ta zapisana w Biuletynie. Prawo kanoniczne Kościoła domaga się, aby jedna z Mszy św. odprawianych w niedzielę była ofiarowana za parafian. Ofiara pieniężna jest przeznaczona na utrzymanie kapłana. W niektórych rejonach świata stypendium mszalne jest jedynym źródłem utrzymania kapłanów. Jako franciszkanie ślubujący ubóstwo odsyłamy ofiary za odprawione Msze św. do kasy prowincjalnej. Kościół przestrzega nas przed postrzeganiem składania ofiar jako kupowania Mszy św., czy też myślenia to moja Msza św. Owoce każdej Mszy św. służą całej wspólnocie ze specjalnym podkreśleniem konkretnej intencji. Najświętsze Serce Boże, poświęcamy Ci: nasza Ojczyznę, wioski i miasta, nasze rodziny i nas samych. Serce Boże, przyjdź Królestwo Twoje.

PILGRIMS As a Shrine, a place worthy of destination by the faithful for enrichment of faith, our church has recently seen a number of pilgrims who have taken up the invitation. To point out but a few of these visits, the first which comes to mind was the Mid May visit of 75 ladies from West Bloomfield (adjacent to Orchard Lake), Michigan, who are from the Chaldean Rite church of St. Thomas. After having been given a tour by Rob Jagelewski, our parish historian, the ladies broke into song and prayers before the crowned image of Mary. You could hear them praying across Lake Erie! Their visit was very inspiring. Last week we had a visit by 40 high school young adults who are participating in a diocesan camp. Parishioner and seminarian, Rob Ramser, gave them a tour which then led into a prayer service and scriptural meditation. Again inspiring. Also last week we hosted about 100 people, some of them parishioners, many with ties to Sri Lanka, who asked to have a three hour prayer vigil at the Shrine, this in conjunction with a worship service simultaneously happening in Sri Lanka. They prayed, heard a sermon broadcast live from Sri Lanka, meditated in front of the Blessed Sacrament. They will return here to pray on the evening of July 13th...you are invited once again to come stay with Jesus and pray together with the pilgrims. Our Shrine Church lives as an universal vessel of ministry. REMEMBERING FATHER Począwszy od Dnia Ojca przez następny miesiąc będziemy odprawiać raz w tygodniu specjalną Mszę św. w intencji naszych żywych i zmarłych ojcu. Jeśli zechcesz dołączyć Twoją ojce do tych modlitw, prosimy o wypełnienie specjalnej koperty przeznaczonej do tego celu z napisem Father s Day załączonej do biuletynu i/ lub przy wejściu do kościoła, i wrzucenie jej do specjalnego koszyka przy ołtarzu Najswietszego Serca Pana Jezusa. Beginning on Fathers' Day and continuing for the next month, a special Mass will be offered weekly for the intention of our living and deceased fathers. If you would like to include your father (and other special men in your life) in these prayers, please fill out one of the special Fathers' Day envelopes found in the bulletin and/or at the entrances to the church, and leave it in the special basket in front of the Sacred Heart altar.

As always, this event s success depends on the generosity and assistance of as many parishioners as possible. It is both the major fundraiser for the parish as well as a great way of showing our pride in our common heritage. As always, it is time to start assembling and delivering the gift baskets which will fill our booths of chance. The baskets are always a great part of the festival, guests looking forward to the huge variety assembled. If you do not have a basket to hold your items which you are able to donate, simply bring them in a box to the church or rectory and members of our team will work their magic and put them together as wonderfully as always. Items can be of a specific topic, religious, interesting gifts...but the items should not be worn or look like they ve seen better days. If any perishable food items are included in your basket, we ask that these are not brought to us before the very end of September.
