PARADOKS
Najpierw faryzeusze, potem uczeni w Piśmie, wreszcie saduceusze, wszyscy próbowali swego sprytu i
sił, by przyłapać Jezusa na jakiejś wypowiedzi, która by Go pogrążyła. Zamiast uważnie słuchać
Ewangelii, stawiać pytania dotyczące najistotniejszych kwestii życia i zbawienia, cała elita duchowa
Izraela skupiła się na polowaniu na Jezusa.
Czyż można wyobrazić sobie tragiczniejszą pomyłkę? Lud wybrany czekał tysiące lat na obiecanego
Mesjasza, a gdy Ten wreszcie przyszedł, i to w osobie samego Boga, ci zgodnie Go odrzucili i
próbowali wciągnąć w prymitywne, słowne prowokacje i utarczki. Będąc u źródła prawdy, zadawali
śmieszne pytania o nieprawdopodobne casusy prawne. Po stokroć zmarnowana szansa. Tymczasem
Jezus wykorzystywał każdą sposobność, by nawet w takich podstępnych sytuacjach głosić Bożą
prawdę i naukę o zbawieniu. Niestety, do prawdy nie da się nikogo przekonać na siłę: jeśli zabraknie
dobrej woli, pokory i wewnętrznej uczciwości, prawda pozostanie na zewnątrz człowieka, obca
i bezużyteczna. Tym razem prawda ta dotyczyła zmartwychwstania, czyli samej istoty
człowieczeństwa, życia i ludzkiej godności. Zmartwychwstanie ma swoje uzasadnienie
i gwarancje w Bogu. Bóg jest Bogiem żywych, chce dla nas życia i obdarza nas nim hojnie ponad
miarę. Ale ten dar trzeba z szacunkiem przyjąć i wykorzystać. W przeciwnym razie zmarnuje się.
Jezus odwołuje się do mocy Bożej, która nie ma ograniczeń - poza ludzką złą wolą. Człowiek może
powiedzieć Bogu „nie" i odmówić przyjęcia daru. Może odczytać na opak najbardziej oczywiste
sformułowania prawdy. Jeśli nasze uprzedzenia uznamy za główny punkt odniesienia i wyboru możemy pogrążyć się w chaosie fałszywych dociekań. Jeśli z pokorą pójdziemy za prawdą - nie tylko
ją poznamy, ale i będziemy żyli wiecznie.

The Sacrament of Baptism: By Appointment
The Sacrament of Marriage: Should be arranged at least 6 months in advance.
LIFE EVERLASTING
The second book of Maccabees tells a powerful story, and a rather gruesome one at that. But central to
it, beyond the horrible deaths inflicted upon the brothers and their mother, is their belief in the promise
of resurrection and life everlasting in God.
Paul asks the Thessalonians to pray for him as he spreads Christ’s message of love, so that he might be
delivered from other nonbelievers anxious to do him harm. The apostle is confident in such prayer, just
as he is confident in the everlasting support of Jesus and God the Father.
And there’s that “everlasting” word again. The Sadducees, not buying the idea, ask Jesus an
interesting—albeit meaningless—question about the status of married life at the Resurrection. He tells
the non-believers that marriage isn’t an issue for the risen children of God. More importantly, he
assures them that their ancestors do live on in God, even as evidenced by the Father’s words to Moses.
NOVEMBER 11th - REMEMBRANCE DAY
On November 11th people around the world pause in silence to remember those who died in war and pray
for the victims of aggression and inhumanity throughout the world. This day should be one of prayer for
peace as well as of consideration of what we are doing as individuals, as a community, and as a nation to
bring God’s peace into the world. This is a day when our believing community should rededicate itself by
prayer and action to the ideals Jesus gives us in the beatitudes.

From Michael Bechard (Rev.)
As a community, our belief in the incarnation has drawn us to appreciate the sacredness of created matter. This is
especially true for those items and articles that have been set aside for worship.

From time to time rosaries are irreparable, ritual texts are out of date, statues are broken, et cetera. Out of respect for
the manner in which they led us closer to God and to recognize their holiness, we bury them, in a similar way with
which we bury a body.
The Catholic cemeteries of our diocese are willing to bury these items on our behalf, at no charge. To facilitate this
process, I encourage you with your parishioners, to drop off old ritual texts and other items that need to be buried by
Friday, November 25, 2016. We will open burial plots in these locations to meet this need.
