VIII. The Weeping Women
Mary’s friends see her approaching alongside the Cross carried by her Son.
“Mary! Jesus!” they wail, they scream…
Jesus halts his procession for a brief moment as He waits for His Mother to speak with her kumoszki…
“How can we help? Your baby looks horrible!! You are both in such pain!!!??”
Jesus looks at his mother...she’s trying her best to let her friends know it’s all going to be okay...she fights back her tears
and then, glancing once more at her Son, she breaks down!
Jesus holds her up with his free hand, and puts her on his knee...the pieta in reverse...as he tries to wipe away her tears. Her
lady friends all huddle around the two of them as they listen to Jesus quietly sing what resembles the same lullaby which Mary
sang to him so many times...But they both know that the procession must go on….The ladies help up Jesus and Mary…
Together they all praise God in a short prayer...The procession moves on…
The weeping women continue to weep. One is 8 months pregnant. One just had an abortion. One has arthritis and can
barely straighten up. One will soon die from cancer. One will go look for a rock of crack. One will run to tell her boyfriend.
One will go buy groceries to prepare supper. One will go to the temple and pray. They will all go to sleep thinking of Jesus...
and their kumoszka,
David Krakowski

PASTORAL MESSAGE
“VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING…
…while it was still dark, Mary
Magdalene came to the tomb.”
Thus begins the resurrection account in the Gospel of John. As we
read the above lines, we might wonder: Who in their right mind would get
up so early in the morn ing and walk in
the dark, especially when conditions
were so dangerous? The disciples
were all still afraid, perhaps for their own skin, because of what
had happened to Jesus. Would they be next? Who is waiting
around the corner to nab them, and do them harm? Why would
anyone take such a risk?
To be with Jesus.
Then we might ask, who in their right mind would do that
today? Who would get up early in the morning, while it is still
dark, just to spend time with Jesus?
Charlotte Kotek would. She does every day.
She lives only a couple blocks away, but no matter what the
weather is doing outside, she walks to church each and every
morning by 5:30 or so. She opens
the doors, changes the burned-out
candles, gets the sanctuary ready for
Mass, and then says her private
prayers in the quiet of our shrine,
alone with Jesus. She is the regular
server at the 7:00 AM Mass, paying
very close attention to all the details
as well as to the idiosyncrasies of
each priest. Then she moves on to
visit the homes of several homebound people who depend on her to
Charlotte Kotek
care for them in their daily personal
and household needs. She would be embarrassed to see her age
in print for all to see, but let’s just say it’s been a while since
her teenage years...
After Jesus lay in the tomb for three days, it was the women
who were the first ones to encounter the Risen Lord. The
women were the ones who thought of bringing oils and spices
to anoint Jesus’ body. It was the women who saw the angel and
heard his astonishing words. It was the women who were the
first evangelizers, the first to carry the good news to others that
Jesus is risen. In her prayerful witness and care-filled attentiveness to those in need, our own Charlotte Kotek continues to
proclaim what was first announced two thousand years ago.
“He is risen!”
Have you ever wondered how certain things get done
around here, and who exactly does them? Our church community is blessed with many people who give such simple and
consistent witness of prayer and service. They don’t seek
praise or recognition. They open and close the church, pick up
the leftover bulletins, sweep and mop and dust, keep the sacristy in order, turn off the lights when we are done, dust the
snow off the steps and ramp, sweep the leaves away in the fall,
clear away the wilted flowers — on and on. So many humble
and important things, all accompanied with the whisper of a
prayer. They hold a special and honored place in our community, and we are grateful to them for their faithful witness.
Fr. Michael
APRIL 30 KWIETNIA 2006
Jezu, ufam Tobie!
W ostatnia niedziele, w czasie
poludniowej modlitwy „Regina
Coeli” przypomnial Ojciec swiety
Benedykt XVI zas lugi swego
poprzednika Jana Pawla II w
szerzeniu kultu Bozego
Milosierdzia. To wlasnie nasz
Rodak ustanowil druga niedziele
wielkanocna - Niedziela Bozego
Milosierdzia. Stalo sie to dokladnie przed szesciu laty, 30
kwietnia 2000 roku. Bylo to z okazji kanonizacji
blogoslawionej siostry Faustyny. Slusznie zostala ona
nazwana „apostolka Bozego Milosierdzia”. Cale jej zycie bylo
poswiecone szerzeniu tego kultu. Pan Jezus sam ja pouczal w
licznych objawieniach. Mozemy o tym przeczytac w jej „
Dzienniczku”, w którym opisuje swoje wewnetrzne przezycia.
Lektura tej ksiazki jest czyms bardzo pozytecznym. Pewna
siostra zakonna powiedziala mi, przez „Dzienniczek” Jezus
stal sie dla niej blizszy. Ta odnowiona relacja z Jezusem
pomogla tej siostrze przejsc przez ciezka choroba. Bardzo
cierpiala, otarla sie o smierc, ale jak opowiedziala mi pózniej,
pozostala wewnetrznie pelna pokoju. Mysle, ze warto dodac, ze
ta siostra ma ponad 80 lat i cale jej zycie bylo oddane Bogu.
Pomimo to, „Dzienniczek” byl dla niej cennym odkryciem i
pomoca w poglebieniu wiezi z Jezusem. Chwala Panu!
Ale wrócmy do przemówienia Benedykta XVI z ostatniej
niedzieli. Papiez powiedzial o Sludze Bozym, ze „tajemnica
milosiernej milosci Bozej stanowila centrum jego pontyfikatu”.
Slusznie. Jan Pawel II glosil Milosierdzie Boze w swoim zyciu
i nawet przez swoja smierc (zmarl, jak wiemy, w noc
poprzedzajaca Niedziele Milosierdzia). Wymienmy
najwazniejsze rzeczy: Karol Wojtyla, jeszcze jako kardynal
krakowski, zezwolil na szerzenie kultu Bozego Milosierdzia,
który przez pewien okres czasu byl zabroniony. Jako papiez
glosil tajemnice milosiernej milosci Bozej, miedzy innymi
przez enyklike na ten temat „Dives in misericordia” (Bóg
bogaty w milosierdzie), oglosil siostre Faustyne Kowalska
blogoslawiona, a pózniej swieta. W roku 2000, jak juz
wspomnialem, ustanowil II niedziele wielkanocna Swietem
Milosierdzia, a poswiecajac sanktuarium Bozego Milosierdzia
w Krakowie na Lagiewnikach dwa lata pózniej, oddal swiat
wlasnie Bozemu Milosierdziu. Przy tej okazji powiedzial, ze
czczenie Bozego Milosierdzia nie jest jakas poboznoscia
prywatna, lecz czyms, co nalezy do wiary i modlitwy ka zdego
chrzescijanina. By lo jego pragnieniem, wszystkim przyblizyc
Boze Milosierdzie, „którego tak bardzo potrzebuje czlowiek i
swiat wspólczesny. Potrzebuje, choc czesto o tym nie
wie” (Dives in misericordia).
W swoim „Dzienniczku” pisze siostra Faustyna: „Z Polski
wyjdzie iskra, która przygotuje swiat na drugie przyjscie
Chrystusa”. Wczesniej myslalem, ze w tym proroctwie jest
mowa o jakiejs wybitnej osobistosci i któzby inny mógl tu
lepiej pasowej od Slugi Bozego Jana Pawla II? Dzisiaj sadze
jednak, ze chodzi tu o nabozenstwo do Bozego Milosierdzia,
które przez swieta Faustyne i Jana Pawla II wyszlo z Polski do
calego swiata. Bo: „nie zazna swiat pokoju, dopóki nie zwróci
sie z zaufaniem do Bozego Milosierdzia” (Dzienniczek).
Trzeba wiec nam wolanie Kosciola : „Przyjdz, Panie Jezu”
polaczyc z aktem strzelistym: „Jezu, ufam Tobie”.
