PASTORAL MESSAGE
HIS HOLINESS
This past week saw an amazing
outpouring of love and admiration for
His Holiness, Pope John Paul II. Literally millions of people lined the streets
of Rome and waited patiently for hour
on end, just to have a brief glimpse of
the bodily remains of one of the most
amazing men in history.
Many things have been said, and
will continue to be said, about him. It seems almost redundant
to write a bit more in this column. What more can be added?
People have been impressed with his political savvy, his
warmth, his strength of character, his charisma, his leadership,
his breadth of history. But perhaps all of it can be summarized
in the official title given to him, “His Holiness.”
What does it mean to be holy? How does one arrive at it?
How does one recognize it in others? Why does it matter at all?
What difference does it make to the world?
People have so many impressions or images of what the
signs of holiness might be, but often these impressions dwell on
the surface. The media do not help in this. We expect holy
people to be somehow ethereal, as if they could float in the air.
We expect them to be soft-spoken, as if having a strong voice
means something
too earthy. We exIf everyone is called to be pect them to be
holy, it would be unfair of above the fray, we
God, then to make that holi- like them on an
tower, as if
ness unreachable. Instead, ivory
regular folks like

expect them to use

words and express
ideas that we cannot truly understand, as if that alone would
indicate their grasp of the eternal mysteries.
But what we have seen in Pope John Paul II, more than anything, is that holiness has nothing to do with putting on its outer
trappings. Instead, it has to do with a deep authenticity before
God and others. As St. Francis of Assisi once said, “A man is
who he is before God, and no one else.” The call to holiness is
at the core of every Christian vocation, whether you are the
pope or not. Parents are called to be holy. Small children are,
too. Poor people are called to be holy, as are the rich and everyone in between. Handicapped people are, and so are the ablebodied. Politicians, laborers, soldiers, teachers, managers,
priests, the unemployed, the overworked — everyone is called
to be holy.
If everyone is called to be holy, it would be unfair of God,
then to make that holiness unreachable. Instead, you are called
to be holy by being precisely the person God has made you to
be. “His holiness,” the holiness of John Paul II, will be diffe rent from “your holiness,” or mine, or your friend's. By being
fully and deeply who he truly was, John Paul II showed us all
that holiness is possible for us as well. After all, our deepest
and truest selves are exactly where we meet God, who made us
in His own divine image and likeness. When we find and love
in ourselves what God love sin us, then we will have truly begun the path to holiness.

Ojciec Swiety JAN PAWEL II zmarl o
21:37 (19:37 GMT) 2 kwietnia 2005r. w
swoich apartamentach w Watykanie.
Niemal ka zdy czlowiek na swiecie, a
juz na pewno ka zdy Polak chcia lby w jakis
szczególny sposób zapamietac wielkiego
czlowieka i najwiekszego z rodu Polaków - Ojca Swietego Jana Pawla II, o
którym mo zemy mówic ju z tylko w czasie
przeszlym. Ju z ukazalo sie wiele róznych Jego biografii i historii
o Nim, na pewno ukaze sie jeszcze wiecej. Trudno silic sie na
jakas oryginalnosc. Tym bardziej, ze przecie z nie o to tu chodzi.
Szukajac wiadomo sci w ró znych zródlach udalo mi sie zebrac
swoiste “ostatnie przeslanie papieskie” Ojca Swietego Jana
Pawla II.
Najpierw wiec ostatni telegram Polskiego Papieza: J. Em. Ks.
Kard. F. Macharski Abp Metropolita krakowski, Kraków: Zbliza
sie Niedziela Milosierdzia Panskiego. Z tej okazji pragne
przeslac moje serdeczne pozdrowienie wszystkim, którzy beda
sie gromadzic w krakowskim Sanktuarium w Lagiewnikach,
aby wielbic Boga za Jego przebaczajaca milosc. Pragne
ponownie zawierzyc tej Milosci Kosciól i swiat, wszystkich ludzi
na calym okregu ziemi, a takze siebie samego w mojej slabosci.
Ciesze sie, ze w te niedziele rozpocznie sie w sanktuarium
wieczysta adoracja Najswietszego Sakramentu. Nic tak, jak
Eucharystyczna obecnosc Pana, nie uobecnia dziela
milosierdzia,
które
dokonalo
sie
przez
Krzyz
i
Zmartwychwstanie. Niech zatem ta obecnosc bedzie dla
wszystkich pielgrzymów zródlem mocy i nadziei. Wszystkim
czcicielom Bozego milosierdzia z serca blogoslawie: W imie
Ojca i Syna i Ducha Swietego.
Watykan 31 marca 2005 r. Jan Pawel II, Papiez
O ponizszym zas przeslaniu mozna powiedziec, ze jest juz „
zza grobu”. W Niedziele Milosierdzia Bozego, 3 kwietnia, na
zakonczenie liturgii na Placu sw. Piotra odmówiono modlitwe
okresu wielkanocnego Regina Coeli. Poprzedzajace ja
rozwazanie przygotowane jeszcze przez Jana Pawla II odczytal
arcybiskup Leonardo Sandri. Papiez nawiazywal do sladów meki
obecnych na ciele Zmartwychwstalego Chrystusa. Ukazuja one
milosierdzie Boga, który tak umilowal swiat, ze dal Syna swego
Jednorodzonego (J, 3,16). Dalej slowa Jana Pawla II: „W
centrum bialej niedzieli zadedykowanej Bozemu Milosierdziu
znajduje sie owa tajemnica milosci. Ludzkosci, która niekiedy
wydaje sie zagubiona i zdominowana potega zla, egoizmu i leku
zmartwychwstaly Pan ofiaruje w darze swa milosc, która
przebacza, jedna i na nowo otwiera dusze na nadzieje. Jest to
milosc, która nawraca serca i obdarza pokojem. Swiat
potrzebuje dzis bardzo zrozumienia i przyjecia Bozego
Milosierdzia „Panie, który przez Twoja smierc i
zmartwychwstanie objawiasz milosc Ojca wierzymy w Ciebie i z
ufnoscia wypowiadamy dzis: ‘Jezu Ufam Tobie, miej
milosierdzie nad nami i nad calym swiatem!’.” Zas w
nawiazaniu do obchodzonej nastepnego dnia uroczystosci
Zwiastowania Papiez zachecil wiernych do spogladania oczyma
Maryi na tajemnice milosci milosiernej. Z jej pomoca mozemy
zrozumiec prawdziwy sens wielkanocnej radosci, która plynie z
pewnosci, ze Ten, którego Maryja nosila w swym lonie, cierpial i
umarl za nas – prawdziwie zmartwychwstal.

REQUIESCAT IN PACE
ST. STANISLAUS PARISH MOURNS
The Death of our Holy Father and friend Pope John Paul II has
had a tremendous effect on the hearts and minds of the parishioners of St. Stanislaus Church. Many of our older members reme mber the Pontiff when he visited us before he became Pope in 1969
and 1976 when he was Cardinal Karol Wojtyla the Archbishop of
Krakow Poland. On his visit in 1969 he blessed our church with a

Martyr. The relic is on display near the side altar at our Madonna
Triptych.
2005 MASS BOOK OPEN APRIL 21
Those who wish to reserve Masses for wedding anniversaries and anniversaries of deaths in 2006 can do so starting
Thursday, April 21. Mass intentions for 2006 will be accepted
in person at the rectory, from 9:30 AM until 4:30 PM. Because

reserve the dates you choose, but if your requested date is not
available, we will accommodate your request with the closest
date possible. The amount of dated Masses may be limited per
person, so that others may have an opportunity to reserve dates
also. If you have many Mass intentions, we can list them as
“undated Mass intentions” to be offered by visiting priests during concelebrated Masses!
