HOLY CROSS CHURCH NEW BRITAIN, CT Serdecznie witamy w naszej parafii Ks. Artura Ogledzkiego. Ks. Artur bėdzie przebywał w naszej parafii od 30 Sierpnia do 20-go Wrzesnia. Serdecznie dziėkujemy Ks. Arturowi za pomoc duszpasterską w naszej parafii. We would like to welcome Father Artur Ogledzki from the Diocese of Warmia, Poland. Father will be visiting us from August 30 th to September 20 th. We wish to thank him for his help in our parish. Szczerość wobec Boga i siebie Jezus odrzuca jako niewłaściwą postawę człowieka opartą na dbałości o zewnętrzną formę, podczas gdy serce uwikłane jest w grzechu. Wiąże się to nie tylko z religią, ale także z postawami, jakie przyjmujemy w relacjach ludzkich. Wszelkie obmowy czynione za plecami, brak szczerości, podkopywanie reputacji, zdrada to poważne grzechy przeciw miłości bliźniego. Może warto w kontekście tych dzisiejszych słów z Ewangelii zrobić sobie rachunek sumienia. Po prostu zapytać samego siebie w szczerości serca: Jakim jestem człowiekiem? Czy nie żyję za bardzo na pokaz? Panie, proszę Cię o takie serce, które będzie potrafiło odrzucić to, co jest nieszczere w moim zachowaniu.

Every time there is a tragedy or a disaster, people ask how a loving and merciful God can allow such things to happen, especially to children. Is there an answer to this? Does God allow these things to happen? The question that never gets a satisfying answer is one that tries to explain the relationship between good and evil, or between God and the devil. When bad things happen, we always look to see who is to blame. We want to know the how s and whys of a disaster, as if understanding evil would bring us comfort. But there is no easy answer. Of course, indirectly, God allows those things to happen because God created the world and gave us free will and choice. If God had not created the world, obviously, nothing would happen. But when bad things happen, it is not God s choice, but rather that God allows things to happen. Evil, human error, conflict, or the consequence of sin can cause tragedy, pain, and suffering. But God is never defeated by evil, and can bring grace and goodness from a bad event. The silver lining of suffering is always the healing power of God. In short, God never abandons us, and through tragedy and disaster, walks with us. Where there is evil, one always finds grace. In grace, we find hope; and in hope, we find our comfort.
