HUMILITY
Have you ever been in a group
of people—maybe on a tour,
at a social gathering, or at
church—and discovered that
you have just been talking
with a well-known author,
corporate CEO, great scholar,
or politician? Your first
thought is the hope that you
didn’t say anything to
embarrass yourself; but your
second thought is how much
they seemed like such
“regular” folks. What is it that
makes people seem so
“regular”? Today’s readings
give us a clue when they
stress the importance of
humility. It is so hard for us
not to tell the first person
who will listen how busy we
are, how hard we work, how
much money we donate, and
how important our job titles
are. We think these accolades
make a difference to people,
and if we don’t tell them,
how will they ever know?
But if our actions
demonstrate our values,
people will recognize our
worth on their own. The
words of Jesus show us how
much better it is to let
someone else recognize our
worth than to be embarrassed
because someone did not.

Dear Friends!
I am very happy here with you at St. Albert the Great Parish. It is easy to notice that Jesus graces
us here with many gifts; work on the church roof is moving along, weather for the parish carnival is
cooperating, our children and teachers happily began another school year. For this, let us praise Our
Good Lord Jesus Christ.
For all who would like to see current happenings at our parish in pictures, I invite you to visit us on
“Facebook” or log in to our parish website (www.stalbertgreat.com).
Jesus graces everyone daily with His blessings, but are we really happy? Today, I would like to share
with you a wonderful, quick recipe for happiness you should use every day:
—Combine
—4 cups of love with 2 cups of loyalty
—3 cups of forgiveness with 1 cup of friendship
—add 2 tsp of tenderness and 4 tsp of faith
—add spice of goodness and understanding
—mix all ingredients in a barrel of laughs
—place it in faith’s baking dish
—generously sprinkle with smile, friendship and love.
—bake in the sun uncovered for 15 minutes
—serve immediately in large portions!
Bon Appétit!
I would like to thank you for your kindness and concern for the church and priests. I wish you all
a blessed and peaceful week.
"Jesus, I trust you"!
Fr. Mariusz.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Perhaps the most familiar traditional symbol that
identifies bishops is the crosier that they carry. We
see the shepherd’s staff and immediately rich images
from scripture come to mind, as well as the
recollection that the first to respond to Christ’s
presence in our world were the shepherds. The staff is
more than a walking stick; its crooked top is useful in
snaring errant sheep but also in keeping the flock
united. Bishops carry the curve outward, indicating
their ministry to the wider flock, while abbots (and
some abbesses, too) carry the crosier with the curve
pointing in, indicating that their ministry is to the
monastery alone.
The crosier was once also carried by the pope,
but was phased out centuries ago. You may recall that
in pre-“popemobile” days, the pope was often carried
around on a portable throne called a sedia gestatoria.
Since he didn’t do much walking, the need for a
Page 3
crosier was minimal. Pope Paul VI introduced the
innovation of a walking staff in the 1960s, and
everyone remembers Pope John Paul II’s walking
staff, not a crook, but a delicately sculptured crucifix.
Thus, the pope carries a “pastoral staff” rather than a
crosier. Precisely because the pope’s ministry is
universal, to the whole world, popes will likely leave
crosiers in the hands of the bishops they commission
for care of specific flocks.
BURNED Who sacrifices the conscience burns the
picture to obtain the ashes. —Chinese proverb

Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza
Drodzy Przyjaciele!
Jestem bardzo szczęśliwy i radosny będąc z wami! Pan Jezus każdego dnia obdarza nas hojnie
swoimi łaskami i darami. Jak widzicie sami, prace remontowe naszego dachu przebiegają bardzo
sprawnie, pogoda w czasie karnawału nam sprzyja, dzieci, młodzież i nauczyciele są szczęśliwe w naszej
szkole. Za to wszystko niech Jezus będzie uwielbiony! Na stronie internetowej naszej parafii
(www.stalbertgreat.com) i na Facebook możecie zobaczyć zdjęcia z tych wszystkich wydarzeń, które
aktualnie dzieją się w naszej wspólnocie parafialnej.
A ty, czy jesteś człowiekiem szczęśliwym? Dzisiaj, chcę podzielić się z wami „Przepisem na
Szczęście”!
„Cztery filizanki miłości oraz dwie filiżanki lojalności.
Trzy filiżanki przebaczenia i filiżanka przyjaźni.
Dwie łyżeczki czułości i cztery łyżeczki wiary.
Dodaj do tego beczkę radości i uśmiechu.
Nastepnie miłość proszę połączyć z lojalnością i starannie proszę to wymieszać z wiarą.
Proszę przyprawić dobrocią, czułością i wyrozumiałością.
Obficie to skropić uśmiechem i dodać przyjaźń i miłość.
Wszystko to proszę wypiekać na słońcu.
I proszę pamiętać; podawać codziennie w obfitych porcjach!
Smacznego!”
Składam serdeczne podziękowanie za wiele przejawów dobroci, życzliwości i troski o nasz kościół
oraz o kapłanów. Życzę wszystkim parafianom i odwiedzającym nasz kościół błogosławionego tygodnia!
„Jezu, ufam Tobie”!
Fr. Mariusz.
Polska Katolicka Szkoła im. ks. Ignacego Posadzego jest Parafialną Szkołą Świętego Alberta Wielkiego.
Zapraszamy wszystkich Rodziców, a szczególnie tych którzy przynależą do naszej parafii do skorzystania z
katolickiego programu nauczania w Szkole, która odwołuje się do chrześcijańskich wartości, o które każdy z nas
powinien zabiegać, pielęgnować je i przekazywać. W ten sposób popieramy i wspieramy naszą parafię. Pamiętajmy, że
Szkoła w swej naturze jest instytucją pomocniczą i dopełniającą działalność Rodziny i Kościoła. Rodzina, Szkoła i
Kościół tworzą jakby jeden ścisły organizm wychowania chrześcijańskiego. Każda z tych wymienionych instytucji, nie
jest w stanie POJEDYŃCZO wychować, umocnić i ochronić dorastające w dzisiejszym świecie dzieci. Wskazana jest
współpraca między domem - szkołą - Kościołem. Nie jest dobrze, gdy dziecko czegoś innego uczy się w domu, niż w
szkole czy w Kościele. Musimy zadbać o jedność w działaniu czyli w wychowywaniu, a wtedy będziemy silniejsi, a tym
samym dzieci będą silniejsze, dumne ze swego POLSKIEGO POCHODZENIA i z WYZNAWANEJ WIARY!
