UPPER CHURCH SANCTUARY RENOVATIONS
Our upper church shall remain closed for the duration
of the sanctuary renovations. We hope to finish the project just before Easter, by the end of March. In the meantime, all Mass celebrations will take in the lower church.
Thank you for your understanding.
FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD & A
CANDLELIGHT MASS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND.
We will bless & distribute the candles at the so called
“Candlemas Day”, which is the Feast Day of the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple. Before the revision of
the General Roman Calendar in 1969, this marked the end
of the Christmas season.
BLESSING OF THE THROATS ON THE FEAST DAY
OF ST. BLASÉ, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3RD.
Following the 9:00 am Eucharist this coming Thursday, we will have the traditional blessing of the throats on
the Feast Day of St. Blasé. St. Blase was bishop of Sebaste (Armenia) and was martyred, probably early in the
fourth century. Devotion to him spread throughout the
Church during the Middle Ages. He is particularly invoked for disorders of the throat.

THE CHOSEN REMNANT
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Zephaniah is one of the least-known of the Old
Testament prophets. He speaks in today’s first reading of
impending judgment. But the Lord will leave a “remnant”
in Israel. This image of a remnant, or remainder, was to
become vital to both Judaism and Christianity.
Paul’s letter to Corinth makes obvious his deep
concern for the Christians there. They are too selfconfident, he says, too sure of themselves. He admonishes
them to remember that Christ has given them all they
have.
Today’s Gospel comprises the opening of Jesus’
“Great Sermon.” As God gave Moses the law on Sinai, so
now Jesus gathers his disciples on a hillside to teach them
the new law. Each of these Beatitudes contrasts the
humiliation of the present with the glory of the future:
poverty vs. the riches of God’s kingdom, hunger for
holiness vs. fulfillment in the Spirit, persecution vs. the
reign of God. Jesus is here speaking to God’s chosen
“remnant.”
Until very recent decades “Holy Thursday” and
“Good Friday” were centered on personal pious
devotions, not public liturgy. In urban America, at least in
cities with a significant Catholic population, Holy
Thursday was about veneration of the Blessed Sacrament.
People were encouraged to walk to seven churches for a
“visit” to each parish’s repository, a kind of temporary
tabernacle on a side altar, closer in proximity to the
faithful than the usual tabernacle on the distant high altar.
On Good Friday, the most popular form of devotion was
the Stations of the Cross, or a three-hour program of word
and preaching beginning at noon.
The Holy Thursday seven-church hike was a way of
participating in a custom of the city of Rome.
Traditionally, each day in Lent was assigned to a
particular parish church or basilica in the city. Each week
of Lent thus had seven churches, and pious people tried to
get to each one of them. The pilgrimage was a symbol of
unity and also the journey of faith. Originally, the pope
would go to each place for a liturgy, but political strife
removed the pope from Rome in 1305. With the papacy
relocated in France, the custom ceased until Pope Leo
XIII expressed interest in restoring it in 1900, and Blessed
John XXIII fully restored the custom in 1959. By the time
Pope Leo began to revive the custom, many American
cities had enough parishes and monasteries that the
faithful could vicariously participate in the revived
tradition of stational liturgies by a very long walk!

Pan przywraca wzrok ociemniałym,
Pan dźwiga poniżonych;
Pan kocha sprawiedliwych,
Pan strzeże przybyszów.
Ps 144
Jezus, widząc tłumy, wyszedł na górę. A gdy usiadł,
przystąpili do Niego Jego uczniowie. Wtedy otworzył
swoje usta i nauczał ich tymi słowami: Błogosławieni
ubodzy w duchu, albowiem do nich należy królestwo
niebieskie. Błogosławieni, którzy się smucą, albowiem oni
będą pocieszeni. Błogosławieni cisi, albowiem oni na
własność posiądą ziemię. Błogosławieni, którzy łakną i
pragną sprawiedliwości, albowiem oni będą nasyceni.
Błogosławieni miłosierni, albowiem oni miłosierdzia
dostąpią. Błogosławieni czystego serca, albowiem oni
Boga oglądać będą. Błogosławieni, którzy wprowadzają
pokój, albowiem oni będą nazwani synami Bożymi.
Błogosławieni, którzy cierpią prześladowanie dla
sprawiedliwości, albowiem do nich należy królestwo
niebieskie. Błogosławieni jesteście, gdy /ludzie/ wam
urągają i prześladują was, i gdy z mego powodu mówią
kłamliwie wszystko złe na was. Cieszcie się i radujcie,
albowiem wasza nagroda wielka jest w niebie.
Mt 5,1-12a
Każdy człowiek potrzebuje głębokiego poczucia
bezpieczeństwa, które ukoi jego lęk. Ten upragniony dar
możemy znaleźć w imieniu Boga, który jest źródłem
naszego istnienia. „Przez Niego bowiem jesteśmy” (por. 1
Kor 1,30). Utrudzeni poszukiwaniem, odarci i ubodzy,
trafiamy wreszcie do domu, którym jest sam Bóg, nasze
schronienie. Gdy ustaje pełne lęku zabieganie o samego
siebie, pojawia się duchowa przestrzeń wolności i
męstwa. W niej dopiero może rozkwitnąć życie według
Błogosławieństw.
ks. Wojciech Jedrzejewski, OP,
„Oremus”

EL RESTO ELEGIDO
Sofonías es uno de los profetas menos conocidos del
Antiguo Testamento. Hoy habla en la primera lectura
sobre el juicio inminente. Pero el Señor dejará un “resto”
en Israel. Esta imagen de un resto, de lo que quedará, será
vital para judíos y cristianos.
La carta de Pablo a los corintios evidencia su profunda
preocupación por los cristianos de allí. Están muy
confiados, dice, muy seguros de sí mismos. Los insta a
recordar que Cristo les ha dado todo lo que tienen.
El Evangelio de hoy incluye el comienzo del “Gran
Sermón” de Jesús. Así como Dios le dio a Moisés la Ley en
el Sinaí, ahora Jesús reúne a sus discípulos en un monte para
enseñarles la nueva Ley. Cada una de estas
Bienaventuranzas contrasta la humillación del presente con
la gloria del futuro. La pobreza frente a las riquezas del
Reino de Dios, el hambre de Dios frente a la satisfacción en
el Espíritu, la persecución frente al Reino de Dios. Jesús aquí
está hablando al “resto” elegido de Dios.
