NOTES AND EVENTS
RESPECT LIFE SUNDAY OCTOBER 3, 2010
XXVII SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Habakkuk 1:2-3; 2:2-4
THE READINGS are the voice of the oppressed, crying for help to the Lord. It
could be the voice of the child torn from her mother’s womb or the quiet groan
of the old man as he is given an extra shot of morphine to end his “inconvenient”
life. It could be the fearful gasp of the executed prisoner, or of the neglected and
abused child put out on the street by his own parent. It is the voice of the
voiceless and the cry of the desperate. But the Lord hears the cry of the poor and
comes to their aid. If, then, we are to be about the work of God, we will do
everything in our power to save the one whose life has been thrown away or taken
away. This is truly the work of God. God cannot leave the crime unpunished: from the
ground on which it has been spilt, the blood of the one murdered demands that God should
render justice (cf. Gn 37:26; Is 26:21; Ez 24:7-8). From this text the Church has taken
the name of the ‘sins which cry to God for justice’, and, first among them, she has included
wilful murder. For the Jewish people, as for many peoples of antiquity, blood is the source of
life. Indeed ‘the blood is the life’ (Dt 12:23), and life, especially human life, belongs only to
God: for this reason whoever attacks human life, in some way attacks God himself. (The
Gospel of Life [Evangelium Vitae], no. 9)

Say the Rosary every day…
Pray, pray a lot and offer sacrifices for sinners...
I'm Our Lady of the Rosary.
Only I will be able to help you.
...In the end My Immaculate Heart will triumph."
Our Lady at Fatima
CHILDREN OF FATIMA:
Ist Saturday of the month
4 PM in the Convent
Mass at 5:00 P.M.
T he word Rosary means "Crown of Roses". Our Lady has revealed to several people that
each time they say a Hail Mary they are giving her a beautiful rose and that each
complete Rosary makes her a crown of roses. The rose is the queen of flowers, and so the
Rosary is the rose of all devotions and it is therefore the most important one. The Holy
Rosary is considered a perfect prayer because within it lays the awesome story of our
salvation. With the Rosary in fact we meditate the mysteries of joy, of sorrow and the
glory of Jesus and Mary. It's a simple prayer, humble so much like Mary. It's a prayer we
can all say together with Her, the Mother of God. With the Hail Mary we invite Her to
pray for us. Our Lady always grants our request. She joins Her prayer to ours. Therefore
it becomes ever more useful, because what Mary asks She always receives, Jesus can
never say no to whatever His Mother asks for.

$ 209,700 in contributions
Last week you received a packet with your offering envelopes for the last quarter of 2010. The
packet includes three additional envelopes dedicated to specific projects that we are presently
pursuing or plan to pursue in the near future. Today let me mention two of these projects:
Rectory Chapel
Since we had some leaks from the radiators in the room above the Rectory Chapel, the Chapel
walls have been badly damaged and affected by the mold. That is why we are in the process of
the Chapel renovation.
Accessibility Project
As it is easily visible to everybody, our wooden ramp is in a very poor shape. We would like to
replace it with a solid concrete and stone construction with a strong wrought iron railing. Also,
we would like to make our Convent building accessible to the people with physical disabilities.
This project should start this week and be completed at the beginning of November.
Our activities depend on your prayers and on your generosity. That is why we ask for your help,
so we could complete these projects successfully. Thank you for your continued support!!!
FOCUS ON THE WORD
27th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Today’s first reading comes from the Prophet Habakkuk. Habakkuk
lived around 650 years before the Lord. It was a time of violence. The
Babylonians had conquered the Assyrians and were threatening or attacking the rest of the world, including the Kingdom of Judah. The Jews
themselves were continually assaulting each other. Hatred and violence
were seen as part of life, even accepted.
Habakkuk’s society was not all that much different than ours, where violence and might are glorified and the weak are kept in their place. This
is Respect Life Sunday. Our country allows unique lives to be murdered
before birth. Even some Catholics who are adamantly opposed to abortion have no difficulty with capital punishment as though lowering ourselves to the level of the killer is acceptable. Violence is all around us.
Our young people go to middle school, high school and college afraid
that some of their classmates might turn on them, not just in the extreme
as at Virginia Tech or Columbine High School, but even in the everyday
playground scuffles where turf wars are fought not just with fists but
with weapons.

Saben amigas(os), dicen que la fe
mueve montañas y si mueve
montañas, entonces me pregunto
que nohará. Porque aquel hombre
que tiene fe, nunca está solo.
Porque de acuerdo con tu fe, así
te iráen la vida terrenal. Ya que
en la fe no hay espacio para la
desesperación, ni para el temor,
ni se ve; y la recompensa es ver
lo que uno cree. Y cuando se
tiene fe, se tiene confianza en si
mismo, porque la confianza es el
primer secreto al éxito. Sin ella
estaríamos a merced de nuestros
miedos y debilidades, por ello la
confianza en uno mismo es la
fuerza por naturaleza que nos
impulsa a salir del abismo donde
hemos caído por descuido. Y es
que no existe un signo más
patente de debilidad que
desconfiar instintivamente de todo
y de todos. Por eso la fe y la
confianza deben de ir agarradas
de la mano, para que juntas
dobleguen nuestros miedos,
fracasos, debilidades y temores.
Por esa razón se dice que la
confianza ha de darnos la paz que
requerimos para pensar analizar y
salir de ese hoyanco, porque a
veces no basta la buena fe, es
preciso también mostrarla, porque
los hombres siempre ven y pocas
veces piensan. Y te narro esta
historia titulada “Suéltate”.
¿Y tú que tanta fe y confianza
tienes en ti mismo? ¿Te soltarías
de la cuerda? O permanecerías
atado a ella. La Frase del día es:”
Cuando no podamos ver el rostro
de Dios, tengamos fe y confianza
bajo la sombra de sus alas”.

XXVII Niedziela Zwykla
Nie zwlekaj, wyrywaj!
W rzeczywistości nie taki grzech straszny, jak go maluje
wyobraźnia, tylko my jesteśmy uzależnieni od przyjemności i nie
mamy wiary w to, że można go pokonać. Zmysły są łącznikiem
pomiędzy światem ducha i ciała. Zanim
ulegniemy grzechowi, w naszej wyobraźni pojawiają się pewne
wizje, plany, marzenia i obrazy. Piekło reklamuje się oryginalnie i
ekscytująco. Te wizje można porównać do owych owoców morwy,
budzących do ataku bestie
demonów. Jeśli pozwolimy sobie na to, by mieć upodobanie w
tych marze-niach, zmiażdżenie grzechem jest kwestią czasu. Ewagriusz z Pontu twierdził, iż człowiek nie pozbędzie się namiętnych
obrazów, dopóki nie zacznie pracować jak karczownik nad korzeniami pożądania i gniewliwości. Inny starochrześcijański asceta,
Doroteusz z Gazy, opowiada o tym, jak pewien Abba wyprowadził
swych uczniów do lasu z cyprysami i kazał jednemu z nich
wyrwać jednoroczne drzewko. Wyrwał je bez poważnego wysiłku.
Następnie nakazał drugiemu uczniowi wyrwać drzewko dwuroczne wraz z korzeniami,
i udało się, choć nie bez wielkiego trudu. W końcu nakazał
wyrwać kilkuletnie i mimo wysiłków dwóch, a potem reszty uczniów, nie udało się. Nauka była prosta: nasze przywiązanie do
grzesznych przyjemności jest łatwe do usunięcia, gdy nie jest wieloletnie. Gdy w grę wchodzi długotrwały nałóg, potrzeba już tylko
wiary i skruchy, wołania o pomoc Boga. Ludzkie siły są już bezradne. Nie zwlekaj więc, wyrywaj! Augustyn Pelanowski OSPPE
