TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

In many parish churches, more rarely in
monastery        churches      and     cathedrals,
the tabernacle with the Blessed Sacrament is
visible from a doorway or aisle in the church.
Normally, a person is to give the proper sign of
reverence, a genuflection, when passing in
proximity to the tabernacle. The word "genuflect"
comes from Latin roots meaning bending
(or flexing) the knee. A common-sense exception
to the rule is for a sacristan who is taking care of
the church and can't be genuflecting every thirty
seconds during a vacuum run. Also excepted are
persons in procession entrusted with important
symbols of the Lord's presence. So, a crossbearer
or a minister carrying the Gospel book,
or ministers on their way to their Communion
stations do not genuflect. For everyone else,
the usual sign of reverence for the Lord's presence
in the Blessed Sacrament is to genuflect on the
right knee.
The oldest form of reverence during prayer in our
tradition is standing; kneeling or genuflecting is a
sign borrowed from old civic practice. The posture
of kneeling, even on one knee, is a sign of
submission. Servants would take this position
before their masters in the ancient world. It said:
I'm not running away, I'm yours, I'm here for you.
This is what your genuflection says when you
enter a Catholic church where the place of
reservation of the Blessed Sacrament is visible to
                                                       THE WAY
you: I'm yours.                                        Today we sense the apostles' trepidation as they
                                                       begin to realize that the Lord would soon be

                                                       leaving them. In their fear, they ask, "Master, we
                                                       do not know where you are going; how can we
                                                       know the way?" (John 14:5). Jesus tells them that
                                                       he is the way. The Easter season has been a time
                                                       of growing in Easter faith so that we, too, may
                                                       learn to know that Jesus is the way. We can take
                                                       comfort in the Lord's promise that he is going to
                                                       his Father's house to prepare a place for us, his
                                                       chosen people who have been called out of
                                                       darkness into God's wonderful light. As the
                                                       paschal candle continues to burn during this holy
                                                       season, let us remember that in baptism we were
                                                       given the light of Christ. With Christ our light as
                                                       the beacon lighting our way, let us march toward
                                                       the glory of Pentecost.

 Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
 As we continue in the joy of Easter, we are once again reminded that it is our Lord, Jesus Christ,
 who stands in the very center of our faith, our worship, and our life. His words from today’s Gospel
 bring us confidence and encouragement not to be afraid nor preoccupied with the daily worries.
 Our sincere faith in Christ will bring peace and hope into our hearts. Let us put our trust in our
 loving Savior and embrace his Gospel with an open heart.

 Of many things…

 Just yesterday, May 13 we began our parish celebration to honor the 100th Anniversary of the
 Apparition of Our Lady at Fatima in Portugal on May 13, 1917. I hope this occasion will help us
 to develop a deeper devotion to the Blessed Mother and ultimately bring us closer to Her Son, Jesus.
 As part of this year’s anniversary we will have a special Mass with the Fatima Procession on the
 13th day of each month beginning in May and continuing through October. Please join us in prayer.

 As we celebrate Mother’s Day today, we pray for all mothers living and deceased. May God bless
 all mothers! May they feel our appreciation and respect for this most beautiful vocation
 of motherhood. May God in his mercy embrace all the deceased mothers that they may rest in peace
 with God. Happy Mothers Day!

 I would like to express my deep gratitude to our Knight of Columbus who made a donation
 of $2,800 to our parish from the proceeds of their Fish Fray. May God bless your ministry for all the
 good you do. God bless you!

 I would also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all of you who support our
 parish Building Maintenance Fund. I am so encouraged by your generosity. Last week we
 received over $5,000 in donations! It is important to note that 100% of your generous donations to
 this fund stay here at our parish. Even though most of the improvements that are done are not very
 visible, they are nonetheless extremely important to ensure our buildings are in good condition to
 serve us and the future generations. One of the most recent unexpected expenses was the repair of
 the heating pipe in the school with the cost over $5, 000 dollars, of which $3,500 was paid from the
 Building Maintenance Fund, thus alleviating the financial burden from the school budget.
 Once again, thank you so much for your generosity!

                                                                  Fr. Mariusz P. Stefanowski

FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER - MAY 14, 2017
St. Monica Parish
          FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Today's readings describe the complexities of trying to live a
spiritual life while still living in a world that demands
concrete action. Acts tell us about disagreements beginning
to emerge in the early Christian communities over divisions
of labor. Some people are praying and preaching while others
are feeding the hungry. In First Peter we are reminded that
Jesus is the cornerstone. Jesus was rejected yet is the very
foundation for building the community, and yet he also a
stumbling block for those who do not follow the path laid out
by his life and works. In John we hear again the contrast of
the spiritual and the concrete, of houses with many rooms, of
truth and life. Is it surprising that the apostles and we are
sometimes confused about how to live the life Jesus intended
for us?
FINDING REALITY IN FAITH
The readings today describe a faith community struggling
with the realities of preaching, teaching, praying, and
spreading the word of God while others are concerned about
putting food on the table and a roof over their heads. In Acts
decisions are made about a division of labor. Some will
preach and others will ensure that the community is fed. In
First Peter there is talk of spiritual houses, builders, and
cornerstones, of faith and stumbling blocks. In John, Jesus
                                           begins to prepare the apostles for his departure. Jesus talks
                                           about his Father's house but the apostles want concrete
                                           answers to their questions. They want to see the Father. They
                                           don't know the way. Jesus' response is both spiritual and
                                           concrete. His answer is both faith and works.
                                           FINDING FAITH IN THE REAL WORLD
                                           The tensions within the readings are tensions we feel every
                                           day between our faith and the world in which we live. We
                                           stumble over stones that litter the way, over lies that hide the
                                           truth, even over the reality of death. We want our faith to be
                                           solid, so we can test its permanence and reality. But faith is
                                           not concrete. Faith is a living thing, a leap into the unknown.
                                           Works are concrete. The works of the apostles are what
                                           sustained them even as they struggled with their own faith.
                                           We must feed the hungry and shelter the homeless even as
                                           we speak to ourselves and others of faith beyond brick and
                                           mortar. While we live in a world of harsh realities, we must
                                           remember there are realities beyond those we see but not
                                           beyond our belief. We know that the faith born of love for
                                           others and lived out in caring for the sick and sorrowful, the
                                           hungry and homeless, the poor and imprisoned is real.

Spiewnik Wielkanocny
         V NIEDZIELA WIELKANOCY
                                            Tu Stwórcę swego wiarą wyznaję,
                                            Kocham serdecznie, pokłon oddaję,
Jak szczęśliwa Polska cała                  Cieszę się wielce z Twej Boskiej chwały,
w niej Maryi kwitnie chwała,                Niech Ci się kłania z niebem świat cały.
od Bałtyku po gór szczyty,
kraj nasz płaszczem jej okryty.             Dziękuję za to, żeś się zostawił
                                            W tym Sakramencie, abyś nas zbawił.
O Matko Boska, Królowo Polska,              Za swoje łaski tu wyświadczone
o Pani nasza Częstochowska.                 Odbieraj od nas serca skruszone.

W Częstochowie tron Swój wzniosła,          Przed Tronem Twoim serca składamy,
piękna, można i wyniosła,                   Oto pokornie wszyscy wołamy:
Lecz najczulsza z matek ziemi,              Błogosław Panie swemu stworzeniu
Cierpi razem z dziećmi swymi.               Broń od nieszczęścia, ciesz w utrapieniu.

Tyś cudami zajaśniała,                      Przed oczy Twoje nędzę stawiamy,
Swoje serce nam oddała,                     Ratuj, niech pomoc od Ciebie mamy.
Ludu Polski, dziecię drogie,                Tyś Bogiem naszym, pięknością wieczną,
Masz tu Matkę, szczęście błogie.            Bądź i obroną zawsze skuteczną.

                                            Zostawaj z nami, póki żyjemy,
Była cicha i piękna jak wiosna              W tym Sakramencie niech Cię wielbimy.
                                            A gdy się zbliży z ciałem rozstanie,
żyła prosto zwyczajnie jak my.
                                            Twym świętym Ciałem zasil nas Panie.
Ona Boga na świat nam przyniosła
i na ziemi wśród łez nowe dni zajaśniały.

Matka, która wszystko rozumie,              My chcemy Boga, Panno Święta!
sercem ogarnia każdego z nas.               O, usłysz naszych wołań głos!
Matka zobaczyć dobro w nas umie,            Miłości Bożej dźwigać pęta,
Ona jest z nami w każdy czas.               To nasza chluba, to nasz los.

Dzisiaj światu potrzeba dobroci,            Błogosław, słodka Pani,
by niepokój zwyciężyć i zło.                Błogosław szelki stan!
Trzeba ciepła, co życie ozłoci,             My chcemy Boga, my, poddani.
trzeba Boga, więc ludziom nieśmy Go,        On naszym Królem, On nasz Pan!
tak jak Ona.                                My chcemy Boga, my, poddani.
                                            On naszym Królem, On nasz Pan!

Kłaniam się Tobie, Przedwieczny Boże,       My chcemy Boga w rodzin kole,
                                            W troskach rodziców, w dziatek snach.
Którego niebo objąć nie może;               My chcemy Boga w książce w szkole,
Ja, proch mizerny, przed Twą możnością      W godzinach wytchnień w pracy dniach.
Z wojskiem Aniołów klękam z radością.
