Jan Wachala 8:45 am-EN - For parishioners, benefactors & friends 7:00 pm - Fr. Ted Dzieszko Dear Parishioners and Friends, In teaching about the Kingdom of God, Jesus uses parables, or images of people and situations with which we can identify. "Behold the sower went out to sow." God sows the seeds of his word. Like every good teacher, Jesus does not give us the answers at once, but tries to engage us in the process of discovering them. It encourages us to open our hearts and receive the message of the Good News. Ultimately, the quality of the harvest depends on it. Seed sown on the road means the one who listens to the word about the kingdom and does not understand it; Evil comes and takes away what is sown in his heart. The effort of the mind is associated with faith. Faith seeks understanding. Hence, the obstacle to faith is mental laziness, which is that in the intellectual sphere, a man seeks easily digestible, but of little nutrition. Crime, pornography and magazines tracking scandals and sensations are very popular. However, what has a deeper dimension and forces one to think is considered boring and worthless. Intellectual laziness that is understood strikes at the foundations of faith. Faith demands intellectual effort. Seed sown on rocky places means the one who listens to the word and immediately accepts it; but it's not rooted, therefore, not solid. St. John Paul II was applauded; this shows that the word of God, which he proclaimed, was accepted immediately with joy, but when the Pope returned to Rome, did it take root? One of the weaknesses of Catholicism is what is called: holiday Catholic. Many become Catholic at Christmas, Easter („Chreaster”) or some other special family occasion. Seed sown among thorns means the one who listens to the word, but worldly worries and the illusion of wealth drown out the word, so that it remains fruitless. This obstacle is particularly relevant in the age of developing capitalism, which is called the gospel of getting rich. This wealth can consume someone so much, that one forgets that man cannot live ny money alone. Capital cannot be an idol that replaces God, and a bank cannot replace a temple. Finally seed sown on fertile soil means the one who listens to the word and understands it. Only such understanding is full. It means recognizing that God is entirely Lord. Whoever understands the word about the kingdom in this way will bear fruit of good deeds, the Christian life: 100 times, 60 times, 30 times. So, as you can see, the word of God is a collaborative effort. Let us remove three obstacles to God's word, so that we may be like fertile soil and not a religious quarry. May the lack of understanding, the lack of perseverance and the excessive worries not destroy the seed of God’s word. Let us accept God into our hearts and remember that even the devil can quote the Holy Bible, but we must live it. Let us also remember, especially when we look at others, that the Sower is present and no one else has the right to judge whether all grain is lost. God bless everyone who volunteers in preparing, cleaning and disinfecting our church. God bless the members of our Holy Name Society for funding the new cameras in the church that monitor the interior of the church and make it easier to livestream and record Mass and devotions. God bless Arek Fryz and Remac Enterprises for installing all the equipment. God bless Anna Rubiś for selflessly donating the time and material to reupholster the celebrant chairs in the sanctuary. God bless Audrey Kocylowski for funding the purchase of a new set of Polish lectionary books. God bless all who have made donations to sponsor the candles burning 24 hours a day beside the tabernacle and the Our Lady of Fatima statue. Just to remind you that the proceeds from these candle donations is intended to renovate the six candlestick holders standing in the sanctuary next to the altar. May the Lord bless everyone generously! God bless, Rev. Canon Ted Dzieszko Pastor To Live God’s Word Everyday Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament A great deal of care and mindfulness is needed As was announced at Mass last for the Word spoken by God to bear fruit in our lives. weekend, we are moving forward with a To live the Word in everyday life, we need to listen to trial period and will have adoration of the it, meditate on it, pray on it and contemplate it. Each Blessed Sacrament every Tuesday of these stages of prayer has its obstacles in the word throughout the month of July. Exposition of God. While listening to Satan, the word of God that will begin immediately following the Christ sows in our heart will be pulled from our heart, 8:45 am English Mass and adoration will like birds that peck the ground in search of a worm.
