Stewardship Note: “Everyone who drinks this water will be
thirsty again”. Jesus reminds us that material things, even
something as basic as water, can never satisfy us for long.
When we build our lives around material possessions we always want more. True satisfaction only comes when we follow
Jesus.
THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT
MARCH 23, 2014
While we were still sinners Christ died for us. - Romans 5:8
THIRSTING FOR UNITY
In today’s Gospel, Jesus is thirsty and goes to
the well for a drink of water. He meets a Samaritan woman, who expects him to treat her
like dirt. But surprise! He talks to her like a
fellow human being, treats her with respect and interest. And
what happens? Why, pretty soon the whole town turns out to
hear him.
Centuries earlier, the Israelites, wandering in the desert, were
thirsty. They had no water. All they had was an attitude problem. They growled at Moses, “Why did you ever make us
leave Egypt?” But surprise! God gave them water from the
rock. No questions asked.
All the peoples of Earth are travelers on this planet together,
all thirsting, all harboring our own fearful expectations of each
other. But God, as a loving parent, treats us all with generous
care and compassion. We are one family. We could surprise
each other. We could remember we are one.
This week’s second collection is for Partners in Charity.
Next weekend’s second collection is designated
for the Collection for the Church in Central and Eastern

PILGRIMAGE/ARCHDIOCESE OF HARTFORD PARISHES-Today at 11:00am we welcome pilgrims from several
parishes from the Archdiocese of Hartford under the leadership
of Jane Krulicka of the Holy Rosary Sodality of Holy Cross
Church, New Britain, CT. We are pleased by the presence of
Pastor, Rev. Dariusz Gosciniak, spiritual leader of the pilgrimage, who will be the main celebrant.
We want to congratulate the parishioners of Holy Cross
Church, who every year undertake many pilgrimages to well
known Shrines in the region including St. Joseph Basilica.
Throughout the years, they have made several visits to our Basilica. May St. Joseph to whom they have a great devotion bestow upon them many blessings of God especially graces with
which they undertook this pilgrimage.
After Mass, our guests will enjoy lunch in the cafeteria and a

PARTNERS IN CHARITY 2014
We are pleased to announce that Betty Sabaj and Carolyn
Swierzbin have again graciously accepted to be our Chairpersons for this 2014 campaign.
Today is In-Pew Sunday for the Annual Partners in Charity
Appeal collection in our parish. During the Mass we will have
an opportunity to make a pledged gift to this vital annual appeal, a life-line of hope for thousands throughout our diocesan
family. Your gift, which enables us to bless many people in
Worcester County will make a major difference in the lives of
many who look to us for hope. Please pray to Blessed Pope
John XXIII & Blessed Pope John Paul II, the patrons of our
appeal, that we may be inspired by their special love for the
Eucharist.
NOVENA AND DEVOTION TO ST. JOSEPH
On Wed., Mar. 26 we will celebrate a votive mass through the
intercession of St. Joseph for the intentions included in the petition box at our Lady of Czestochowa chapel In the tradition of
the Catholic church, every Wed. is dedicated to St. Joseph, but
especially in the month of March which is filled with devotional services across the world. This practice is similar to the
months of May and Oct. when we honor our Blessed Mother.
Since our Basilica and school have the privilege to have St.
Joseph as our patron, we are obligated more than other parishes
to participate in this Novena and Devotion.
We invite all those who are experiencing difficulties or feel a
need to express gratitude to God to join us on Wed. evening.
We kindly ask all Eucharistic Ministers to be part of this devotion and have the honor to carry St. Joseph’s statue to the altar.

ROOTS OF THE MASS
The Mass is the most beautiful act of worshiping God and a
precious treasure of the Catholic Church. For that reason, to be
a Catholic is to participate in Mass every Sunday, but especially
during the Lenten Season. In addition to Sunday, many people
participate every day or a couple times a week. Mass has its
origin with the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, a Passover Meal.
The Lord and the Apostles read sacred Scripture and then, for
the first time Jesus took bread and wine and pronounced the
words of consecration which became His body and blood—the
Bread of Life. This has to be understood in the context of the
Lord’s Passion, death and resurrection. Since that time the
Church has offered Mass which is rooted in the everlasting
reality of the Last Supper. Jesus’ words and teachings were
proven not only by his suffering and death on the cross, but
by his resurrection to life.
The three best references describing the Mass of the early
Church can be found in the teachings of the twelve Apostles
(Didache); Justin, the martyr in his first apology and St. Hippolytus who in the second century described the apostolic tradition of the Mass. These references verify the living tradition of
the Mass.
As our life goes on, all the riches and pleasures of the world
fail to satisfy the thirst of the human spirit. The Mass is the
living water which unites us with Jesus Christ who is the only
one who has the words of everlasting life.

KRONIKA PARAFIALNA
TRZECIA NIEDZIELA WIELKIEGO POSTU
23 marca 2014
„Bóg zaś okazuje nam swoją miłość [właśnie] przez to, że Chrystus umarł
za nas, gdyśmy byli jeszcze grzesznikami.” (Rz 5, 8)
Lud na pustyni zapragnął wody, tej dla ciała, by
móc żyć. Staje z tym roszczeniem przed
Mojżeszem, a ten czyni cud i wyprowadza ją ze
skały. Samarytanka idzie do studni po wodę, tak
jak to czyni każdego dnia, a tam spotyka Jezusa, który daje jej
żywą wodę. Daje jej siebie, przywraca prawdziwe spojrzenie na
własne życie. Woda od Jezusa nie tylko poi, ale i obmywa. Jezus
staje się źródłem.
Dzisiejsza druga kolekta jest przeznaczona na Partners in
Charity.
Druga kolekta w przyszłą niedzielę będzie przeznaczona
Na wsparcie Kościoła w Europie Środkowej i Wschodniej.

NOWENNA I NABOŻEŃSTWO DO ŚW. JÓZEFA
W środę, 26 marca, będziemy Celebrować uroczystą Eucharystię za
wstawiennictwem Świętego Józefa w intencjach przedstawianych
przez wiernych, którzy umieszczają je w specjalnej skrzynce
znajdującej się w kaplicy Matki Bożej Częstochowskiej. W tradycji
Kościoła Katolickiego, każda o środa jest poświęcona św. Józefowi,
ale szczególnie w marcu, który na całym świecie jest wypełniony
nabożeństwami ku czci tego świętego. Praktyka ta jest podobna w
miesiącach maju i październiku, kiedy czcimy Matkę Bożą. Ponieważ
nasza szkoła i Bazylika ma przywilej czcić świętego Józefa jako
naszego patrona, jesteśmy zobowiązani bardziej niż inne parafie do
udziału w tej Nowenny i w nabożeństwie do św. Józefa.
Zapraszamy wszystkich tych, którzy zmagają się z życiowymi
trudnościami lub czują potrzebę wyrażenia wdzięczności do Boga, aby
dołączyć do nas w środowy wieczór. Serdecznie zapraszamy
wszystkich szafarzy Eucharystii, aby wzięli udział w procesji na
początku i na kończy nabożeństwa.

PARTNERS IN CHARITY 2014
Mamy przyjemność poinformować, że Betty Sabaj i Carolyn
Swierzbin w tym roku ponownie zgodził się koordynować w
naszej parafii zbiórkę na diecezjalną akcję charytatywną Partners
In Charity.
Dzisiaj w naszej parafii rozpoczynamy zbiórkę na Partners In
Charity. Wykorzystując koperty znajdujące się w ławkach już dziś
będzie możliwość dokonania zobowiązania na wsparcie dla tysięcy
potrzebujących ludzi w całej naszej diecezjalnej rodzinie. Twój
dar, który pozwala nam pomóc wielu ludziom w Worcester County
może poczynić wielkie zmiany w życiu wielu ludzi, którzy patrzą
na nas z nadzieją. Prosimy również o modlitwę za
wstawiennictwem błogosławionego Jana XXIII i błogosławionego
Jana Pawła II, patronów naszej akcji, abyśmy w naszych
działaniach na rzecz bliźnich inspirowali się ich szczególną
miłością do Eucharystii .
