Przed Wniebowstąpieniem Pan Jezus sam mówi do Apostołów: Idźcie i nauczajcie wszystkie narody, udzielając im chrztu w imię Ojca i Syna i Ducha Świętego (Mt 28,19). Na innym miejscu znów możemy przeczytać znamienne słowa: Gdy przyjdzie Pocieszyciel, którego Ja wam poślę od Ojca, Duch Prawdy, który od Ojca pochodzi, On będzie świadczył o Mnie (J 15,26). Jako Wasz Proboszcz, zachecam Was wszystkich bardzo serdecznie do tego aby uczestniczyc w uroczystosciach Trojcy Przenajswietszej w Kosciele Sw. Jadwigi. Wasz Proboszcz, Ks. Piotr FROM THE PASTOR S DESK Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Hedwig s Church. This Sunday, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity. INFORMACJE KSIĘDZA PROBOSZCZA Kochani Parafianie i Przyjaciele Kościoła Św. Jadwigi. Dzisiaj obchodzimy uroczystość Trójcy Przenajświętszej. Wiara w istnienie trójjedynego Boga jest dogmatem i jedną z największych tajemnic chrześcijaństwa. Prawda ta ukazuje, że Bóg jest jeden w swojej naturze, ale w trzech osobach. Osoby Boskie mają wspólną naturę Bożą, wszystkie przymioty i działania, natomiast tym co je różni jest pochodzenie, gdyż Bóg Ojciec nie pochodzi od nikogo, Syn Boży pochodzi od Ojca, a Duch Święty pochodzi przez wspólne tchnienie miłości od Ojca i Syna. Na kartach Ewangelii Pan Trinity Sunday is the first Sunday after Pentecost to honor the Holy Trinity the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. While the word trinity does not appear in Scripture, it is taught in Matthew 28:18-20 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 along with many other Bible passages. The Bible tells us, And Jesus came and said to them, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18-20). The concept of the Holy Trinity can never be completely understood. That is the mystery. But it is clearly taught in Scripture. Understanding this comes through the work of the Holy Spirit; therefore, it is appropriate that this mystery is celebrated the first Sunday after Pentecost, when the outpouring of the Holy Spirit first occurred. As your Pastor, I invite you all to participate in the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity in St.Hedwig s Church. Your Pastor, Fr. Peter
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION One of the great treasures of the Eastern tradition is the icon of the Holy Trinity created by the Russian iconographer Andrei Rublev in the 1400s. The Trinity is symbolized by the three travelers to the tent of Abraham and Sarah. They are seated at a table blessing a cup of wine, under the oak of Mamre. If you look closely, you will see a sacrificed calf in the chalice, reminding the viewer of the cross. The table, prepared for eating and tilted toward the viewer, is an invitation to the Eucharist. From left to right, each figure is keyed to a person of the Trinity. Like all icons, this image is theology in art. The persons are equal in proportion and dignity, they all carry staffs to symbolize their power, and are shown with golden wings and halos. Today, the best place to see Rublev s work is the Holy Trinity Cathedral, at the heart of the vast Holy Trinity monastery about an hour from Moscow. After decades of persecution, it is now once again a living monastery, a world heritage site, and the spiritual home of Russian Orthodoxy. A Google visit is highly recommended today! Rev.
