 FROM FATHER RICH

Last Sunday we witnessed the beautiful and instructive dialogue between Jesus and the Samaritan
woman. Today we see Christ’s touching encounter with the blind man, which concludes with healing.
The future occurrences of the blind man with the people are not very joyful. The people instead of be-
ing delighted for the man’s happiness, they are questioning how this happened and why he was healed
on the Sabbath. Not finding any sympathy in the people the healed man returns to Christ and thanks
Him for the gift of sight and even more, for the gift of faith.
Last year when Fr. Tom McCarthy was inviting us to participate in the Parish Mission he did it in the
name of Jesus who was the One to wait for us during the Mission’s time. The response and turnout to
this invitation was unbelievable. This year I want to invite all of you to the Night of Reflection and con-
fessions in the same way. I made an appointment for all of you with Jesus Christ on Wednesday, April
6th at 7:00 pm in our Church. I hope and believe that you will come for Jesus and also for me so we
won’t be disappointed. Father Paul Burak will lead us in prayer and reflection followed by individual
confessions. Inspired by the example of the blind man in today’s Gospel we will thank God that night
for the gift of the eyes of faith.
Some of the parishioners asked about the Passion Play on Palm Sunday; I can say that we are work-
ing on it and hopefully we will be able to do it again this year.
We are in the middle of Lent, the time of giving alms and doing good deeds. I want to thank mem-
bers of St. Vincent De Paul society and Pro life Group in our parish for volunteering to bring our pa-
rishioner for 10:30 am Sunday Mass from Chicago Ridge. I would love to do it every Sunday, but I can’t
when I’m scheduled for the Masses on Sunday morning. We need more volunteers who could do it
maybe just once a year and this way we would serve Jesus who said: “whatever you do for the least of
my brothers you do it for me”. All you have to do is call the rectory and we will schedule the day and
give you the address.
Responding to the needs and requests of many people, especially different parish groups who use
a lot our Rogers Hall and organize many events, we will soon begin renovation of the bathrooms. We
apologize for any inconvenience during this time. If we patiently go through this period of remodeling
we will have completely new bathrooms with handicap access, baby changing stations, new partitions
and new tiles on the walls and the floor. This will be possible, thanks to your generosity, especially to
Renovation Fund and First Sunday Collections which are designated for the improvement of parish
buildings and facilities. Thank you. May God Bless You all.
Fr. Rich

OF THE LORD
 OD KS. RYSZARDA

Byłem W ubiegłą niedzielę byliśmy świadkami pięknego

niewidomy pouczającego dialogu Jezusa z Samamrytanką
lecz a dzisiaj widzimy niezwykle wzruszające spotkanie
z niewidomym, które kończy się jego uzdrowieniem.
teraz widzę
Niewidomy, któremu w dzisiejszej Ewangelii Jezus
przywraca wzrok, był bardzo zaskoczony swoim
uzdrowieniem. Nie spodziewał się, że tego dnia
odzyska zdrowie. I nigdy nie myślał – on, dotychczas
żebrak, omijany z daleka przez faryzeuszy – że
wzbudzi u nich zainteresowanie, że zaczną go wypytywać o szczegóły z jego życia i że w ten
sposób stanie się świadkiem boskości Jezusa. Od dnia uzdrowienia ten niewidomy zaczyna nie
tylko widzieć świat, ale też staje w szeregu tych, którzy będą opowiadać, że Jezus z Nazaretu jest
Synem Bożym.
Czasem jesteśmy przekonani, że już nic nowego nie wydarzy się w naszym życiu. Ale może się
tak zdarzyć, że Bóg upatrzy nas sobie w sposób szczególny i któregoś dnia wkroczy w nasze życie
z całą swoją mocą, a Jego obecność będzie tak wyraźna, że nie będziemy mogli jej zignorować.
Kiedy w ubiegłym roku mieliśmy rekolekcje w języku angielskim, Ojciec rekolekcjonista
zaprosił wszystkich na te rekolekcje w imieniu Jesusa. To nie ja - powiedział - będę czekał na Was
w tych dniach tutaj w kościele, to sam Jezus Chrystus będzie czekał na Was w czasie Świętych
Rekolekcji ze swoim słowem i swoją łaską. My kapłani tej Parafii chcemy Was zaprosić na
tegoroczne rekolekcje w ten sam sposób, w imieniu Jezusa Chrystusa. Nie zawiedźcie Chrystusa
i nas i przybądźcie licznie, całymi rodzinami na tegoroczne Rekolekcje Wielkopostne. Zakończenie
naszych Rekolekcji przypada w najbliższą niedzielę, 10-go kwietnia a więc w pierwszą rocznicę
śmierci prezydenta i pozostałych ofiar katastrofy pod Smoleńskiem, a także w kolejaną rocznicę
śmierci Jana Pawła II. W naszej Parafii będzie uroczysta Msza Święta za ojczyznę i uroczyste
rozpoczęcie Wielkiej Nowenny przed Świętem Beatyfikacji sługi bożego Jana Pawla II.
Dziękujemy Grupie Młodzieżowej za przygtwanie Drogi Krzyżowej w ubiegly piątek i za palmy,
które można nabyć przy wyjściu z kościoła na Niedzielę Palmową.

Szczęść Boże, Ks. Ryszard
