There Are No Lost Souls
There are many people who think they are lost souls. Perhaps you know some of these people. We have
a responsibility to let them know that they are not lost. There are many people who are convinced that their
sins are so terrible that God would never forgive them. You may ask me, “Father, does anyone really believe
that God would not forgive him or her?” Well, then, thank God, you haven’t met people suffering the result
of choosing an abortion for themselves or others. Many of them believe that they cannot be forgiven, even
after they go to confession. There is a ministry called Project Rachel to help these people realize they are not
lost.
There are many of people who see no value to their lives. They have given up on themselves. They have
gotten involved in various forms of immorality and have lost all sense of their own self worth. Perhaps some
of the people we know have given up on themselves as lost. We may be tempted to agree with them. They
have hurt us and the people we love. But if we were to give up on them, we would be joining the devil in
convincing these people that they are worthless. The destruction of self esteem is the work of the devil. The
work of the followers of Jesus Christ is to help others return to their rightful dignity as sons and daughters
of God.
Every family has its black sheep. It is difficult to care for those who reject our families, our families’ values,
and who seem to be happy hurting others and themselves. But we cannot give up on them. We do not have
that right to let them believe that they are lost souls. Maybe it’s useless to talk to the family’s black
sheep. But we can keep the doors of our hearts open to them. We can pray for them. We have to. There is
nothing worse we can say to someone than, “You are dead to me.” What would our lives be like if we were
to hear those words coming from God? But we would never hear these words from God. He refuses to give
up the search for the lost sheep, the lost coin, or the lost son.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Every faith filled Catholic should encourage families
with young children to teach them about the Catholic
Faith. Parents decide to have their children baptized in
the Catholic Church and parents are responsible for
teaching their children about the Catholic Faith. While
parents are the primary models for a child’s life, the parish serves to help them.
By enrolling in a parish program, parents ensure that children have solid roots in
order to grow in spirit and knowledge.
Our Program is open to all children of the parish from the time they enter the
first grade through the completion of their grammar school years.
As children mature, we assist them in preparing for the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Penance) and reception of their First Holy Communion. This requires two
years of preparation.
Our Confirmation Preparation Program covers 24 months. Our current group of
young people will continue their preparation for reception of the Sacrament in
the Spring.
Sometimes, there are older children, teens or young adults who have not completed their Initiation Sacraments (Baptism, First Communion, First Penance, or
Confirmation), please spread the word -- they are welcomed to join our teen and
adult group that also meets on Wednesday evenings. They will join people of
other Christian faiths who are exploring the Catholic faith with the intention of
joining our parish.
Our parish offers classes on Wednesday evenings at St. Adalbert’s.
Beginning on Wednesday, September 21, we will meet
TWO TIMES per month fr om 6:30 to 8:00.

Skrucha warunkiem przebaczenia
Syn marnotrawny - przepiękna opowieść nie tylko o marnotrawnym i zarozumiałym dziecku, ale przede
wszystkim o Miłosiernym i pełnym mądrości Ojcu. Wszyscy z ufnością i nadzieją tak właśnie myślimy
o Bogu, na Którego Miłosierdzie i przebaczenie liczymy. Inaczej być zresztą nie może, bo to właśnie był cel
przypowieści Chrystusa - pokazać nam Miłosierdzie Boga Ojca. I tak rzeczywiście jest, że Bóg jest Miłosierny i miłujący wszystkie swoje dzieci, i tego marnotrawnego, rozrzutnego syna, który przepuścił znaczna część
ojcowskiego majątku, ale i tego drugiego, buntowniczego i zadziornego. Bóg miłuje i przebacza. To jest niewątpliwie prawda. Zapominamy jednak dosyć często, że warunkiem "sine qua non" - nieodzownym
warunkiem ojcowskiego miłosierdzia jest skrucha i pokora owego zarozumiałego syna. Gdyby tenże syn nie
"był poszedł po rozum do głowy" i nie uznał konieczności zmiany życia, gdyby się sam na powrót do domu
Ojca nie zdecydował ... nie mógłby dostąpić ojcowskiego przebaczenia i miłosierdzia. Ojciec nie mógł i nie
chciał na siłę go do siebie sprowadzać, szanując jego wolność, nawet wtedy, gdy bolał i cierpiał z powodu
upadku syna. I o tym, o konieczności skruchy i nawrócenia nie można zapominać. Słowa owego syna,
wypowiedziane "na końcu drogi odejścia", na dnie niejako: "Zabiorę się i wrócę ..." są konieczne i nieodzowne, są początkiem nawrócenia i warunkiem miłosierdzia. I o tym wielu nie chce pamiętać, mówiąc sobie:
"Będę żył jak mi się podoba, a Bóg Miłosierny i tak mi wszystko wybaczy". Albo: "Bóg jest Miłosierny, nie
ma się więc po co straszyć i stresować grzechami". Nic bardziej złudnego. Liczenie na Miłosierdzie Boże
z lekceważeniem osobistego nawrócenia i zmiany życia jest nieporozumieniem i oszukiwaniem samego
siebie. Miłosierny Ojciec pozwolił nawet, aby wracający syn wypowiedział te bardzo trudne do wypowiedzenia, słowa: "Ojcze zgrzeszyłem przeciw Bogu i względem Ciebie ..."
Modlitwa na rozpoczęcie nowego roku szkolnego
Boże Ojcze, dziękujemy Ci za te wspaniałe wakacje. Dziękujemy, za to, że
teraz cali i zdrowi, a także pełni sił i zapału, wracamy w mury naszej szkoły.
Daj nam prosimy siłę i wytrwałość do czekającej nas nauki, abyśmy za 10
miesięcy mogli wszyscy z uśmiechem odebrać świadectwo szkolne, a także
abyśmy nie zwątpili w swoje umiejętności i zdolności i na chwałę Bożą
rozwijali otrzymane od Ciebie talenty. Dodaj cierpliwości wszystkim
nauczycielom i pracownikom szkoły, by mogli nas przygotować do samodzielnego życia. Amen
