Nie bójmy się głosić Chrystusa Zmartwychwstałego! Ojciec Swiety Franciszek nawiązał do sceny z niewiernym Tomaszem z Ewangelii dzisiejszej niedzieli. Przypomniał zwłaszcza znamienne słowa Jezusa,Błogosławieni, którzy nie widzieli, a uwierzyli.,kim byli ci, którzy uwierzyli, nie widząc? Inni uczniowie, inni mężczyźni i kobiety z Jerozolimy, którzy, pomimo że nie spotkali Jezusa zmartwychwstałego, uwierzyli świadectwu apostołów i kobiet. Jest to bardzo ważne słowo dotyczące wiary, możemy je określić mianem «błogosławieństwa wiary». «Błogosławieni, którzy nie widzieli, a uwierzyli» oto błogosławieństwo wiary. W każdym czasie, w każdym miejscu błogosławieni są ci, którzy poprzez Słowo Boże głoszone w Kościele i świadczone przez chrześcijan wierzą, że Jezus Chrystus jest wcieloną miłością, ucieleśnionym Miłosierdziem. Jest to prawdziwe w odniesieniu do każdego z nas!. Papież zaznaczył, że wraz z pokojem Jezus dał uczniom Ducha Świętego. Dzięki temu mogli oni nieść światu odpuszczenie grzechów za cenę krwi Syna Bożego. Kościół został posłany przez Chrystusa zmartwychwstałego, aby przekazać ludziom odpuszczenie grzechów i sprawiać w ten sposób, aby wzrastało Królestwo miłości, zasiać w sercach pokój, aby umocnił się on także w relacjach międzyludzkich, w społeczeństwach, w instytucjach. A Duch Chrystusa Zmartwychwstałego usuwa lęk z serc Apostołów i pobudza ich, by wyszli z Wieczernika, aby nieść Ewangelię. Miejmy także i my więcej odwagi, aby świadczyć wiarę w Chrystusa Zmartwychwstałego! Nie możemy bać się bycia chrześcijanami i życia jak chrześcijanie! Musimy mieć odwagę iść i głosić Chrystusa Zmartwychwstałego, bo On jest naszym pokojem, On wprowadził pokój swoją miłością i przebaczeniem, swoją krwią i miłosierdziem. http://www.opoka.org.pl/aktualnosci/news.php?id=47186&s=opoka READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Acts 6:8-15; Ps 119:23-24, 26-27, 29-30; Jn 6:22-29 Tuesday: Acts 7:51 8:1a; Ps 31:3cd-4, 6, 7b, 8a, 17, 21ab; Jn 6:30-35 Wednesday: Acts 8:1b-8; Ps 66:1-3a, 4-7a; J n 6:35-40 Thursday: Acts 8:26-40; Ps 66:8-9, 16-17, 20; Jn 6:44-51 Friday: Acts 9:1-20; Ps 117:1bc, 2; Jn 6:52-59 Saturday: Acts 9:31-42; Ps 116:12-17; Jn 6:60-69 Sunday: Acts 13:14, 43-52; Ps 100:1-2, 3, 5; Rv 7:9, 14b-17; Jn 10:27-30 Please pray for your Parish Have you ever thought about a vocation to priesthood or religious life?

Homily of Easter Monday by Pope Francis I Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good Morning and a Happy Easter to you all! I thank you for coming here today too in such large numbers, to share in the joy of Easter, the central mystery of our faith. May the power of Christ s Resurrection reach every person especially those who are suffering and all the situations most in need of trust and hope. Christ has fully triumphed over evil once and for all, but it is up to us, to the people of every epoch, to welcome this victory into our life and into the actual situations of history and society. For this reason it seems to me important to emphasize what we ask God today in the liturgy. O God, who give constant increase/to your Church by new offspring,/grant that your servants may hold fast in their lives/to the Sacrament they have received in faith (Collect, Monday within the Octave of Easter). It is true, yes, Baptism that makes us children of God and the Eucharist that unites us to Christ must become life, that is, they must be expressed in attitudes, behaviour, gestures and decisions. The grace contained in the Sacraments of Easter is an enormous potential for the renewal of our personal existence, of family life, of social relations. However everything passes through the human heart: if I let myself be touched by the grace of the Risen Christ, if I let him change me in that aspect of mine which is not good, which can hurt me and others, I allow the victory of Christ to be affirmed in my life, to broaden its beneficial action. This is the power of grace! Without grace we can do nothing. Without grace we can do nothing! And with the grace of Baptism and of Eucharistic Communion I can become an instrument of God s mercy, of that beautiful mercy of God. To express in life the sacrament we have received: dear brothers and sisters, this is our daily duty, but I would also say our daily joy! The joy of feeling we are instruments of Christ s grace, like branches of the vine that is Christ himself, brought to life by the sap of his Spirit! Let us pray together, in the name of the dead and Risen Lord and through the intercession of Mary Most Holy, that the Paschal Mystery may work profoundly within us and in our time so that hatred may give way to love, falsehood to truth, revenge to forgiveness, and sadness to joy. 4
