GOD'S PROMISE TO ALL PEOPLE Today Isaiah reminds the people of God that the land shall be restored to their possession, they shall rejoice to see their people return from the bondage of exile, and that they shall be a light to the nations. In other words, through the people of Israel, the Savior shall come to all people who seek God with a sincere heart. This brings joy and the radiance of God's glory to all the world and to all people everywhere. Through the fidelity of the people of God, and through God's fidelity to them, all people shall become God's children and rejoice in the fulfillment of God's promise to Israel. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Where on earth would you go to honor the magi? Iran or Saudi Arabia, Tarshish or the Isles come to mind, but Cologne, Germany would be a good choice. There the Shrine of the Three Kings has been the centerpiece of the city's cathedral since the fourth century. Today it is the largest reliquary in the world: a gilded and ornamented triple casket gleaming high above the altar. In the fourth century, the supposed relics of the wise men were taken from Constantinople to Milan, where they remained until the German Emperor with the unlikely name Frederick Barbarossa (Red Beard) gave them to the Archbishop of Cologne. Ever since, pilgrims have streamed into the city to honor the magi, the first of all pilgrims, and thus the heavenly patrons of all who have some holy wanderlust. This largest Gothic cathedral in Europe today was begun in the mid-1200s to house the relics. In medieval times, the relics in a city's possession were often the key to a sound international economy. The reliquary was last opened in 1864, and the remains of three men were indeed discovered. The cathedral is well worth a visit, with enormous twin spires forming the largest façade of any church in the world (it is the model for St. Patrick's in New York). Construction began in 1248 and ended in 1880, a six-hundred-year project. Today, it is a World Heritage Site, described by the U.N. as "an exceptional work of human creative genius." This great treasure of our tradition suffered fourteen direct bomb hits in World War II but did not collapse. It survived while the city burned around it, preserved, the townspeople say, by three heavenly patrons.

BÓG MNIE KOCHA Obchodzimy dzisiaj Uroczystość Chrztu Chrystusa w Jordanie i przy tej okazji chciałbym przypomnieć jedną z podstawowych prawd naszej chrześcijańskiej wiary, dotyczącą chrztu świętego. Bardzo prosty obrzęd polania czy zanurzenia człowieka w wodzie z wymówieniem słów: „Ja ciebie chrzczę w imię Ojca i Syna, i Ducha Świętego” zawiera bogatą treść i jest najdonioślejszym wydarzeniem w naszym życiu. Był to moment, w którym Bóg oczyścił nas z grzechu pierworodnego, a równocześnie wyznał swoją miłość w odniesieniu do każdego z nas. Bóg wtedy powiedział te same słowa, które słyszymy nad brzegiem Jordanu: „Tyś jest mój Syn, w Tobie mam upodobanie”, Syn, którego kocham. W momencie chrztu św. rozpoczyna się, w miarę jak człowiek dorasta, wielka przygoda świadomego spotkania z Bogiem na płaszczyźnie miłości. Cała nasza wartość jest właśnie w tym, że Bóg nas kocha. Gdy chrzcimy dziecko niedorozwinięte, którego często wstydzą się nawet rodzice, pamiętajmy, że Bóg się go nie wstydzi, Bóg wyznaje swoją miłość do niego, i to miłość wieczną. Bóg każdego z nas kocha. To jest prawda, którą gdybyśmy potrafili przeżyć tak, by ona wstrząsnęła nami do głębi, to życie nasze uległoby całkowitej przemianie. Cóż bowiem można przeżyć piękniejszego i wspanialszego nad prawdę, że Bóg mnie kocha. Nie jestem sam, jestem otoczony wieczną miłością Boga. Bóg nigdy nie będzie się mnie wstydził, Bóg nigdy we mnie nie zwątpi. Prawdziwa miłość nie wątpi. Bóg ze swą miłością się nade mną pochyla, tą miłością otacza mnie od rana do wieczora i od wieczora do rana, tą miłością mnie prowadzi. Jest to tajemnicza miłość, często dla nas, szukających w miłości tylko przyjemności i szczęścia, niezrozumiała. Jest to twórcza miłość Boga, która prowadziła Chrystusa, Syna Jednorodzonego aż na Golgotę, nie po to, aby Go tam zostawić zmiażdżonego, ale po to, aby Go doprowadzić do chwały. Często i nas miłość Boga prowadzi przez trudne odcinki drogi, przez cierpienie, ale zawsze prowadzi do chwały. To jest chrześcijaństwo, Bóg mnie kocha, Bóg jest moim Ojcem. Ks. Edward Staniek—www.mateusz.pl

OREMUS Chrzest Jezusa oznacza Jego ujawnienie się przed światem, początek publicznej misji. Jest to też znak namaszczenia Duchem Świętym, które miało się stać udziałem wszystkich ochrzczonych w Jego imię. Syn Boży staje w tłumie grzeszników, solidarny z nimi, gotowy dzielić ich los. Dzięki Niemu ci sami grzesznicy mocą Ducha stają się synami i córkami Boga, podobnymi do Niego, wyzwolonymi od zła. ks. Jarosław Januszewski, „Oremus” styczeń 2009, s. 45

NIEDZIELA CHRZTU PANSKIEGO Trzech Króli

Mędrcy świata, monarchowie, gdzie śpiesznie dążycie? Powiedzcież nam Trzej Królowie, chcecie widzieć Dziecię? Ono w żłobie nie ma tronu, i berła nie dzierży, a proroctwo jego zgonu, już się w świecie szerzy. Mędrcy świata, złość okrutna, Dziecię prześladuje, wieść okropna, wieść to smutna, Herod spiski knuje. Nic monarchów nie odstrasza, do Betlejem spieszą, gwiazda zbawcę im ogłasza, nadzieją się cieszą. PSALM:

„Pan ześle pokój swojemu ludowi.”

Jezusa narodzonego wszyscy witajmy, Jemu po kolędzie dary wzajem oddajmy;

oddajmy wesoło, skłaniajmy swe czoło, skłaniajmy swe czoło Panu naszemu.

Oddajmy za złoto wiarę, czyniąc wyznanie, że to Bóg i Człowiek prawy leży na sianie; oddajmy wesoło... Oddajmy też za kadzidło Panu nadzieję, że Go będziem widzieć w niebie, mówiąc to śmiele; oddajmy wesoło... Oddajmy za mirę miłość na dowód tego, że Go nad wszystko kochamy, z serca całego; oddajmy wesoło...

Przyjmij, Jezu, na kolędę te nasze dary, przyjmij serca, dusze nasze za swe ofiary, byśmy kiedyś w niebie, posiąść mogli Ciebie posiąść mogli Ciebie na wieki wieków.

Gdy śliczna Panna Syna kołysała, Z wielkim weselem tak jemu śpiewała: Li-li-li-li-laj - Moje Dzieciąteczko, Li-li-li-li-laj - Śliczne Paniąteczko.

Wszystko stworzenie śpiewaj Panu swemu, Pomóż radości wszelkiej sercu memu. Li-li-li-li-laj - wielki Królewiczu Li-li-li-li-laj - Niebieski Dziedzicu.

Sypcie się z nieba liczni Aniołowie, Śpiewajcie Panu niebiescy duchowie: Li-li-li-li-laj - mój wonny Kwiateczku, Li-li-li-li-laj - w ubogim żłóbeczku.

Nic mi nie mówisz, o kochanie moje, Przecież pojmuję w sercu Słowa Twoje: Li-li-li-li-laj - O Boże wcielony, Li-li-li-li-laj - nigdy nie zmierzony.

Dzisiaj w Betlejem, dzisiaj w Betlejem Wesoła nowina Że Panna czysta, że Panna czysta Porodziła Syna I Trzej królowie, i trzej królowie Od wschodu przybyli I dary Panu, i dary Panu Kosztowne złożyli
