Jesus Dies on the Cross The tree now lives in glory. The roots reach into the depths of the universe which had been asleep. Creation is able to breathe again as intended. The Word has spoken Truth...Love. Such beauty in suffering has never before graced the earth. The silent flow of life from the body on the cross is baptizing time. The blood of the Lamb flows like a river past the stars throughout heaven, purgatory, hell Angels tremble at this display. The heartbeat of being is becoming. Alpha and Omega. Lucifer rises in rebellion again. Mankind will forever have that tree as its sword. Eden s tree fades.

PASTORAL MESSAGE MAY 28 MAJ 2006 CYTRYNÓWKA Vitamins we call it it s filled with vitamin C! Sometimes we fake a slight cough in order to justify taking an extra one. Na Zdrowie! Then down goes the burning/frozen, sweet/ sour elixir. Whaaa! Another one? Whenever we walk into the rectory and our noses are greeted with the sweet aroma of lemons and limes, we know that something is cooking in the kitchen. Fr. George is at it again, preparing more of the wonderful treat that he dispenses generously to guests from near and far. Using a recipe brought from his homeland and done with his own special touch, his famous Spirit-Juice has chilled many a glass! Now, whenever I smell lemons, I ll think of Fr. George. This weekend we say good-bye and thank-you to a good friend, a holy priest, a faithful servant of the People of God. After almost seven years of ministry at Saint Stanislaus, Fr. George is to be transferred to Saint Mary of the Falls parish, where he will continue his priestly ministry to the good people there beginning June 6. I am a priest for the people. Olmsted Falls is receiving a wonderful new priest, a man who is deeply committed to God and the mission of the Church. He is prayerful, caring, hardworking, and delightful to have around. Our loss is their gain. My first meeting with Fr. George was seven years ago at a restaurant on Rockside, when Fr. Willy and I met him to see what kind of priest was interested in coming to St. Stan s. After the death of Fr. Alcuin, Fr. Willy knew we needed some help with Polish ministry. At that time, still we were waiting for word about whether a Franciscan would be available. In the meantime, Bishop Pilla agreed to invite Fr. George to help out. As Fr. Willy described to Fr. George our style ministry and living together, his simple answer was, I am a priest for the people. That was exactly the right answer for Fr. Willy! He has been with us in so many ways, in so many places. Preaching the Gospel; anointing the sick; teaching our children; kicking the soccer ball around with friends; dancing at festivals and weddings; enjoying dinner with friends; mourning with the grief-stricken. He has brought an enthusiasm for Polish culture that has deepened our connection with the larger Polish community, both here in our parish and in the larger community. Plus, he is a lot of fun to live with! On a personal note, I am deeply grateful to Fr. George in helping me to know better my own Polish heritage, which had not been a large part of my upbringing. His perspectives on church, ministry, devotion, and culture have expanded my own vision as well. But perhaps the memory that resides most deeply is that intense week of grief shared when our friend and mentor, Fr. Willy, was murdered in our home and sent to his rest by a dazed and heartbroken community. Fr. George was a good friend in the midst of sadness, a dedicated servant in the midst of rebuilding, and a hope-filled priest in the midst of beginning again. Fr. George, on behalf of a grateful parish, thank you for your dedication and service. We remain close in prayer. And if there is a sale on lemons Fr. Michael ROZSTANIA Czterdziesci dni po swoim zmartwychwstaniu Jezus Chrystus wstepuje do nieba. Konczy w ten sposób okres ukazywania sie apostolom i innym bliskim Mu ludziom. Uczniom wydawalo sie, ze rozstaja sie na zawsze, ze konczy sie wszystko, co bylo takie niezwykle, ze juz nie zaznaja radosci przebywania ze swoim Mistrzem. Ale w rzeczywistosci okazalo sie to, tylko czysto ludzkimi sentymentami. Obietnica Chrystusa, ze nie pozostana sami szybko zostala zrealizowana. Zycie pokazalo, ze napelnieni Moca z wysoka i zakorzenieni w modlitewnej lacznosci z Mistrzem, uczniowie kontynuowali Jego dzielo dajac podwaliny Kosciolowi, którego my - wierzacy - jestesmy czlonkami do dzis. Kazdy z nas jest w te spolecznosc wlaczony i kazdy ma okreslone zadania do wypelnienia. Sztuka jest rozpoznac te powinnosci; w tym chce nam pomóc Duch Swiety. Rozwazajac tresc dzisiejszej uroczystosci i obserwujac wydarzenia wokól nas chcialo by sie przywolac slowa piosenki: Nic nie moze wiecznie trwac. Kazdy czas, kazda sytuacja kiedys sie konczy, najczesciej po to, by mogla rozpoczac sie nowa. Jezus rozstal sie z apostolami, aby historia zbawienia mogla biec dalej i dlatego zeslal im Ducha Swietego, aby ich umacnial w gloszeniu swiatu Jego Ewangelii. Obiecal im równiez, ze przyjdzie do nich powtórnie, (z kazdym spotka sie przy koncu swiata). Kosciól w swojej strukturze jest instytucja dynamiczna, rozwijajaca sie, bedaca w nieustannym ruchu. Potwierdzaja to wydarzenia wokól nas. Poczynajac od góry - w naszej diecezji Cleveland - zmiany biskupów, swiecenia nowych ksiezy i przenoszenie ich do nowych parafii. Tymi procesami dotknieta zostala równiez parafia sw. Stanislawa. Kiedys w tej parafii musialo to nastapic, A sa ku temu przynajmniej dwa powody: brak ksiezy oraz zakonny charakter wspólnoty. Takie sa wymogi w tej diecezji. W poprzednich latach kadencja wikariusza trwala piec lat, obecnie juz po czterech latach powinien zmienic parafie. W tym miejscu nalezy zaznaczyc, ze i tak parafia Sw. Stanislawa cieszy sie przywilejami, gdyz w zadnej innej nie ma trzech ksiezy na pelnych etatach, a tu dzieje sie tak tylko ze wzgledu na obecnosc wspólnoty zakonnej, która nie do konca podlega wszystkim prawom diecezjalnym. Zas chroniczny brak ksiezy powoduje, ze diecezja jest w trakcie budowania wspólnot miedzyparafialnych, gdzie w przyszlosci jeden lub dwóch ksiezy bedzie poslugiwalo w kilku parafiach zlaczonych w jedna wspólnote. Na zakonczenie kilka slów osobistej refleksji. Istotne znaczenie w moim zyciu kaplanskim ma zakonczony niedawno proces inkardynacji czyli przejscie do pelnej przynaleznosci do tej diecezji; wczesniej jeszcze - zielona karta dzieki pozytywnym decyzjom wladz koscielnych. Proces zmian nabral tempa i naturalna konsekwencja tego sa takze moje przenosiny do innej parafii. Jest to kolejny etap ku dalszym zmianom (mam nadzieje kiedys ku mojemu probostwu). Wyglada na to, ze to moje ostatnie pisanie w tym miejscu; wiec do spotykania sie na innych lamach, w innych miejscach i innych sytuacjach. Niech wszystkim blogoslawi Bóg Wszechmogacy, a najlepsza z Matek ma w swojej opiece. ks. Jerzy
