July 10, 2016 – 15th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Every one of us learn to become more spontaneous in acting upon the most loving and generous
stirrings of our hearts. In the mystery of Jesus Christ, we find love poured out beyond anything we
could imagine ourselves demonstrating. We ask that we might make some humble response to the
overflowing love of the Son of God.

The Beauty of Mercy: Pope Francis and Confession
PIĘTNASTA NIEDZIELA W CIĄGU ROKU
OGŁOSZENIA DUSZPASTERSKIE
God Never Tires of Forgiving Us
Since he was elected Bishop of Rome, Pope Francis has continually emphasized the infinite mercy of a
God who never tires of reaching out. Throughout his teachings, the Holy Father has put forth the
Sacrament of Reconciliation as a gift that permits each one of us to encounter the mercy of God in a
personal and profound way.
10 lipca 2016
1. Jezus przypomina dziś w Ewangelii o największym przykazaniu − przykazaniu miłości oraz w prosty
sposób wyjaśnia, jak należy je wypełniać. W każdym człowieku należy dostrzegać brata, który może
potrzebować naszej pomocy.
2. W poniedziałek przypada święto Świętego Benedykta, opata i patrona Europy. Zapraszamy
w tym dniu na Msze Święte o godz. … i do wspólnej modlitwy za kontynent europejski, by Europejczycy
nie odwracali się od swoich chrześcijańskich korzeni i chcieli budować swoją przyszłość na wartościach
płynących z Ewangelii.
W TYM TYGODNIU PATRONUJĄ NAM:
•
11 VII – św. Benedykt, opat i patron Europy, autor słynnej Reguły, uważany za duchowego ojca
mnichów Kościoła Zachodniego;
•
12 VII − św. Bruno Bonifacy z Kwerfurtu, biskup i męczennik, autor żywota św. Wojciecha i Pięciu
Braci Męczenników, przyjaciel Polski, występujący w jej obronie u cesarza Henryka II;
•
13 VII − święci pustelnicy Andrzej Świerad i Benedykt, którzy jako drogę swojego uświęcenia obrali
surowe życie w odosobnieniu i liczne praktyki ascetyczne;
•
15 VII – św. Bonawentura, biskup i Doktor Kościoła, duchowy syn św. Franciszka z Asyżu, który
ułożył pierwsze konstytucje dla zakonu jako wykładnię reguły Ojca Założyciela, co dało mu tytuł drugiego
„Ojca Zakonu”.
“Among the Sacraments, certainly Reconciliation renders present with particular efficacy the merciful face
of God: it is constantly and ceaselessly made real and manifest,” Pope Francis says with the force of
personal experience and conviction. (Internal Forum organized by the Apostolic Penitentiary March 2015.)
“The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a Sacrament of healing. When I go to confession, it is in order to be
healed, to heal my soul, to heal my heart and to be healed of some wrongdoing,” describes Pope Francis.
(General Audience Feb. 2014)
“The Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation flows directly from the Paschal Mystery. In fact, on the
evening of Easter the Lord appeared to the disciples, who were locked in the Upper Room, and after
addressing them with the greeting, ‘Peace be with you!’, he breathed on them and said: ‘Receive the Holy
Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven’ (Jn 20:21-23). This passage reveals to us the most
profound dynamic contained in this Sacrament.”
Like the merciful father in the parable of the prodigal son, God is eager to forgive, adds Pope Francis:
“Each time we go to confession, God embraces us. God rejoices!” (General Audience Feb. 2014).
However, it is not enough to simply ask the Lord for forgiveness in one’s own mind and heart because
Jesus himself entrusted to the Church the ministry of the forgiveness of sins. “It is necessary humbly and
trustingly to confess one’s sins to a minister of the Church. In the celebration of this Sacrament, the
priest represents not only God but also the whole community,” points out Pope Francis.
NAJŚW.MARYI PANNY Z GÓRY KARMEL
W sobotę, 16 lipca przypada wspomnienie NMP
z Góry Karmel. Góra Karmel znana jest nam ze Starego Testamentu. Jest miejscem obrony wiary
w jedynego Boga przez proroka Eliasza.
W średniowieczu powstał na niej zakon karmelitański. Z tym dniem i z rodziną karmelitańską zakonną
wiąże się również tradycja noszenia szkaplerza. Matka Boża w objawieniach danych Szymonowi Stockowi,
przełożonemu generalnemu karmelitów, obiecała noszącym szkaplerz ochronę przed ogniem piekielnym
i innym niebezpieczeństwem. Niech będzie on zawsze znakiem naszej religijności i chrześcijańskiej
tożsamości. Znakiem, że chcemy naśladować Maryję
w Jej zawierzeniu Bożemu słowu i obietnicom.
The shame we feel speaking our sins to another makes us more humble, as we unburden ourselves
before God, notes the Holy Father. “ When one is in line to go to Confession, one feels all these things,
even shame, but then when one finishes Confession one leaves free, grand, beautiful, forgiven, candid,
happy. This is the beauty of Confession!”
Konferencja Polskich Księży na Wschodnią Kanadę serdecznie zaprasza całą Polonię na doroczną
Pielgrzymkę Polonii do Sanktuarium Męczenników Kanadyjskich w Midland, która odbędzie się w
niedzielę, 14 sierpnia 2016 roku. Tegorocznym uroczystościom przewodniczył będzie ks. Abp Stanisław
Gądecki, Metropolita Poznański, Przewodniczący Konferencji Episkopatu Polski.
Finding God’s Forgiveness through the Church
The Holy Father stresses that forgiveness of our sins is not something that we can give ourselves. In
confession, we ask forgiveness from Jesus. “Forgiveness is not the fruit of our own efforts but rather a
gift, it is a gift of the Holy Spirit who fills us with the wellspring of mercy and of grace that flows
unceasingly from the open heart of the Crucified and Risen Christ.” (General Audience Feb. 2014).
Understanding the struggle that some experience when it comes to accepting, understanding and
participating in this sacrament, Pope Francis boldly cries: “Be courageous and go to Confession!”
Urging frequent confession, Pope Francis says: “Go – the priest will be good. Jesus is there, and Jesus is
more benevolent then priests, Jesus receives you, he receives you with so much love.” (General
Audience, Feb. 2014). He continually stresses that the Sacrament of Reconciliation is a profound gift that
strengthens our personal relationship with Christ, heals us, and renews our baptism when we were first
incorporated into the community of faith.
“The Sacrament of Penance or Confession is, in fact, like a ‘second baptism’ that refers back always to
the first to strengthen and renew it. In this sense, the day of our Baptism is the point of departure for this
most beautiful journey, a journey towards God that lasts a lifetime, a journey of conversion that is
continually sustained by the Sacrament of Penance. Think about this: when we go to confess our
weaknesses, our sins, we go to ask the pardon of Jesus, but we also go to renew our Baptism through his
forgiveness. And this is beautiful, it is like celebrating the day of Baptism in every Confession,” says Pope
Francis (General Audience 13 November 2013).
During World Youth Day in July 2013, at the celebration on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Pope
Francis again described how Jesus awaits us in the Sacrament of Penance, telling youth of the world
gathered for the event: “…with his mercy he will cure all the wounds caused by sin. Do not be afraid to
ask God’s forgiveness, because he never tires of forgiving us, like a father who loves us. God is pure
mercy!”
