TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Today’s solemnity, the final feast of the Church year, is a youngster as feasts go. In 1925, Pope Pius XI was distressed by global political upheaval and the de-Christianizing of society. That year was a “Holy Year,” keyed to the sixteen hundredth anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, when the words “and of his kingdom there will be no end” were added to the Creed. The Pope explained that although most feasts had developed over many centuries, the Church sometimes provided a new feast to address new needs. He pointed to the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, showing Christ’s love and compassion in a time when many people embraced a cold and gloomy spirituality. Originally on the last Sunday of October, in the late 1960s the solemnity of Christ the King was moved to the last Sunday of the year. Fresh from baptism’s waters, we are anointed with chrism “as Christ was anointed priest, prophet, and king.” This feast is a key to our identity. On this feast, we recognize Christ as a king who breaks the usual mold of kingship, and who shapes his kingdom with our hands, our words, our deeds of love and service.

THANKSGIVING Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse. —Henry Van Dyke

Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza

M Moi Kochani Bracia i Siostry!

Zbliżając się do celebracji ”Święta Dziękczynienia” (czwartek 28 listopada) zachęcam was do odmówienia w tym dniu specjalnej krótkiej modlitwy:

„Dziękuję Ci Panie, że mam dach nad głową, dziękuję że mam miejsce do spania, dziękuję za jedzenie na moim stole i buty na moich nogach. Dałeś mi Swoją miłość Panie i cudowną rodzinę. Dziękuję Ci Panie za wszystkie Twoje Błogosławieństwa”. Amen.

Pragnę też dziś podziękować kolejnym parafianom za specjalne donacje, które przeznaczone będą na wybudowanie specjalnego zadaszenia nad głównym wejściem do naszego kościoła. Moje podziękowanie kieruję więc do Mariana i Heleny Bafia, Szkółki Tańca przy Kole Chochołów #43 oraz Józefa i Elżbiety Sochacki z rodziną. Wszystkich chętnych zapraszam do zaangażowania się w to wielkie i bardzo potrzebne dzieło. Wszyscy ofiarodawcy będą mieć w przyszłości wybudowaną specjalną ścianę ze swoimi imionami i nazwiskami. Pamiętajmy, że to wszystko robimy z miłości do Jezusa i Jego Kościoła. Dziękuję także Lucynie Myśliwiec, Józefowi i Irenie Rapciak oraz Edziowi Lapsa za wyświadczone dobro na rzecz naszej parafii.

„Jezu, ufam Tobie”! Fr. Mariusz

60 LECIE ZGROMADZENIA SIÓSTR MISJONAREK CHRYSTUSA KRÓLA DLA POLONII Nasze Siostry Sr. Wioletta, Sr. Weronika i Sr. Beata obchodzą 60 lecie ich Zgromadzenia. Misja Zgromadzenia Sióstr Misjonarek Chrystusa Króla dla Polonii zrodziła się z duchowych i kulturalnych

potrzeb polskich emigrantów, które dostrzegał ksiądz Ignacy Posadzy ich Założyciel. „Ten, kto udaje się hen daleko poza oceany, zmienia nad sobą niebo, nie zmienia w sobie serca...” Tę rzeczywistość poznał ks. Ignacy Posadzy. On wołał za kard. Augustem Hlondem, że „na obczyźnie giną polskie dusze!” Dlatego właśnie powstało to Zgromadzenie. Siostry pozostawiają swoją ukochaną Ojczyznę i jadą wszędzie tam, gdzie biją polskie serca pragnąc, aby pozostały wierne

spuściźnie polskiej, chrześcijańskiej kulturze, żeby nie żyły osamotnione, żeby nie wystygły, żeby pozostały sercami wiernymi Chrystusowi i swoich chrześcijańskim korzeniom. Konkretną formą apostolatu Sióstr jest modlitwa i praca. Wszystko, cokolwiek czynią, składają w ofierze za polskich emigrantów. Starają się być znakiem Chrystusa we współczesnym świecie przez swoją postawę, strój zakonny, codzienną modlitwę i wykonywaną pracę. Siostry Misjonarki pracują w: Australii i na Tasmanii, w Brazylii, w Stanach Zjednoczonych i w Kanadzie, a także w Europie: we Włoszech, na Węgrzech, na Białorusi, w Niemczech w Wielkiej Brytanii, w Belgii, w Grecji, na Islandii. we Francji. Dziękujemy Siostrom za ich posługę w naszej parafii i gratulujemy tego jubileuszu. Niech Pana Bóg błogosławi i wzbudza nowe polowania, aby nie zabrakło głosicieli Dobrej Nowiny wśród Polonii.

Wszystkich, którzy pragną spotkania ze Słowem Bożym przemieniającym życie i pogłębić swoją więź z Jezusem zapraszamy na spotkanie z Biblią metodą

Lectio Divina w środę 4 grudnia o godz. 6:30 pm w sali św. Teresy. Spotkamy się ze św. Piotrem, który wybrał Jezusa za swego Mistrza. On nas będzie uczył jak

w codzienności życia wybierać Jezusa.
