REKOLEKCJE PARAFIAL E Miłosierdzie Boże - uzdrawiającym lekarstwem dzisiejszej zagrozonej rodziny Prowadzi: Ks. Dr Boguslaw Jaworowski MISJONARZ ŚWIĘTEJ RODZINY, WYKŁADOWCA HOMILETYKI, CENIONY KAZNODZIEJA I REKOLEKCJONISTA GŁOSI SŁOWO BOŻE W POLSCE, W USA I W KANADZIE. Rekolekcje rozpoczną się w sobotę, 5 marca, podczas czuwania, godz. 7-10pm. auki rekolekcyjne podczas Mszy Świętych: w niedzielę 6 marca, godz. 10:30, 2pm, 3pm - Gorzkie Żale z kazaniem pasyjnym; poniedziałek-środa, 7-9 marca, godz. 7pm. Wszystkie troski wasze przerzućcie na iego, gdyż Jemu zależy na was. Czas Wielkiego Postu zachęca nas do wdzięczności za bezcenny dar odkupienia. Tegoroczna dekoracja w naszej świątyni przypomina nam, że zbawienie przyszło przez krzyż. Krzyż jest obecny i w naszym życiu. Każdy z nas codziennie tego doświadcza. Jeśli w dźwiganiu krzyża zjednoczymy się z Chrystusem i powierzymy Mu nasze zmartwienia, nasza droga będzie łatwiejsza. Dlatego każdy może przypiąć do krzyża pod ołtarzem symboliczną karteczkę ze swoimi bólami i kłopotami. Te wszystkie przypięte intencje polecamy w każdej Mszy Św. sprawowanej przy tym ołtarzu. Te kartki spalimy w ogniu pobłogosławionym w noc Paschy, by dym z nich wzbił się ku niebu i aby Bóg przemienił te troski w radość zmartwychwstania. Akcja Miska Ryżu : Kolor fioletowy, który dominuje w kościele w okresie Wielkiego Postu jest symbolem pokuty. Pragniemy wrócić do Boga nie tylko poprzez modlitwę, post, jałmużnę i dobre uczynki. Serdecznie zapraszamy wszystkich do wzięcia udziału w akcji Miska Ryżu organizowanej przez Katolickie Stowarzyszenie Pomocy. Akcja polega na zbieraniu funduszy w czasie Wielkiego Postu dla ostatnich tego świata- dla ludzi biednych, głodujących, i potrzebujących. Specjalne papierowe skarbonki i ulotki na ten temat sa wyłożone przy wyjściach z kościela. Skarbonki z nasza jałmuzna będziemy zwracać w ciągu Wielkiego Tygodnia.
MEDYTACJA AD IEDZIEL Ą EWA GELIĄ 4 iedziela W. Postu Miłosierny ojciec i nawrócony syn W czwartą niedzielę Wielkiego Postu czytamy jedną z bardziej znanych opowieści ewangelicznych, przypowieść o tematyce wielkopostnej: o grzechu, nawróceniu i Bożym miłosierdziu, czyli o synu marnotrawnym i jego miłosiernym ojcu. Jest to przepiękna opowieść o historii dwóch synów, którzy się pogubili, ale ostatecznie wracają do kochającego ojca, który z wielkiej radości organizuje wystawną ucztę. Miłosierny Ojciec. Postać ojca w swej dobroci i miłosierdziu jest wręcz urzekająca i godna naśladowania dla każdego z nas. Zwłaszcza teraz w Jubileuszowym Roku Miłosierdzia jesteśmy gorąco zapraszani do tego, aby doświadczać osobiście tej dobroci i miłosierdzia Ojca Niebieskiego, zwłaszcza w Sakramencie Pojednania, by z kolei okazywać miłosierdzie innym ludziom, pełniąc wspanialomyslnie uczynki miłosierdzia. Syn marnotrawny. Początkowo syn ten bardzo się pogubił i zgrzeszył. Zabrał od ojca swoją część majątku, która na niego przypadała i odszedł z domu ojca, żyjąc rozrzutnie i na własną rękę, co doprowadziło go do upadku. Kiedy jednak dotknął dna postanowił wrócić z powrotem do domu swojego kochającego ojca. Ten młodszy syn może być tutaj przykładem jak powinien się zachowywać każdy grzesznik, gdy sobie uświadomi całą swoją nędzę. Postanawia wtedy wrócić do Ojca i wyznać Mu szczerze: Ojcze, zgrzeszyłem przeciwko Tobie. Starszy syn. Niby był on z ojcem w jego domu cały czas, ale nie potrafił się z tego cieszyć. Był jakiś taki ciągle sfrustrowany i zgorzkniały. Miał on za złe ojcu właśnie to, że jest tak bardzo miłosierny, że właśnie przebaczył bratu, wielkiemu publicznemu grzesznikowi. Smucić się, gniewać się dlatego, że Bóg jest dla kogoś dobry, miłosierny to poddawać się uczuciom najzgubniejszej zazdrości i zawiści. Każdy z nas może znaleźć w sobie coś z syna marnotrawnego, a także cos ze starszego syna, ale w tym czasie Wielkiego Postu jesteśmy gorąco wezwani do naśladowania miłosiernego Ojca. Niech nam w tym pomogą nasze REKOLEKCJE PARAFIALNE, na które serdecznie zapraszamy!
