LET US WITNESSES OF CHRIST!

The Lord Jesus said of himself, " I am the light of the world" (John 8: 12). In today's Gospel, Jesus speaks words directed to us and our roles:" You are the light ofthe world"( Mt 5:14). God has called us to constantly give him witness. It is through Christ that God wants us to be visible in the world and illuminate the darkness of this world. Anyone who admits Christ into their heart, receives him and is also recognized by the people as a witness, and provides the light of Jesus in the world. Christ clearly says in today's Gospel: ., You are the salt of the earth" and" You are the light ofthe world. " (Mt 5: 13)

As witness of faith in today's world, Christians are persecuted. Every three minutes a Christian martyr is killed. Every year, one hundred and seventy thousand Christians die for their faith. Why? Because they are the light of the world, but the world that wants to live in darkness cannot stand the light. They are the salt of the earth and they want to give direction to the world. We must remember that the power of the testimony of the light and the salt does not belong to us, nor does it happen by our power. It is the light of Christ and it is the flavor of Christ. We need to be tried, in any way that the light is not obscured by sin. We must do nothing that would spoil the taste.

So that our witness and testimony of faith may be alive, strong, clean, convincing and demonstrate to others the way to God, we must constantly be united with the Lord Jesus through daily prayer, listening to His Word and try to fulfill it. We should participate in the Mass and receive Him with a pure heart in the Eucharist. We have to be penetrated by Christ's Light of faith, hope and love for God and other people.

Christ wants to shine through us to the world, which continues to be in the dark. What we possess is critical, because without Christ there is only darkness in the world. Where there is no Christ, there is darkness! Christians are there to be salt of the earth, because without the salt the world is plunged into complete anarchy. If we are the salt of the earth, if we fulfill the task of Christ, we become the hope for the world. We guarantee the separation of light from darkness, good and evil. We guarantee the meaning of life for ourselves and we demonstrate it to others. It is a great responsibility for us! Christ wants to use us continuously for such a blessed mission in the world, and be proud of who we really are, because Christ says to us today: "Your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorifY your heavenly Father. " (Mt 5: 16) We have to be responsible and agree with Christ in every moment and in different aspects of our lives: personal, family, social, political, but we

must never think that the light comes from us, because it is Christ that shines through us! If we obey Him, He shines in us with all

Your splendor - and this light exists so that people will glorify the Father light in heaven. must shine before others

2014 ARCHDIOCESAN ANNUAL CATHOLlC APPEAL BEGINS "You are the temple ofGod"

(l Corinthians 3:16)

Many of you have responded to the Annual Catholic Appeal mailing from Cardinal George. On behalf of those served by the ministries and services funded by the ACA, we thank you for your gifts. If you received the mailing and have not responded, please do so as soon as possible.

This year, the theme of the Appeal is: "You are the temple of God". In his first letter to the Corinthians Paul instructs that each of us is a temple of God. God lives within us and He asks us to share our gifts with others.

As we contemplate His gifts to us, we should also reflect on our gratitude for these gifts. Your financial support for the work of our parish, our Archdiocese and the Church throughout the world is, in fact, one way to express this gratitude. Please give generously to the 2014 Annual Catholic Appeal.

When our parish reaches its goal of $1 0,041 in paid pledges, 100% of the additional funds received will be returned to us for use in our parish.

, , BJ\DZMY SWIADKAMI CHRYSTUSA!

Pan Jezus powiedzial 0 sobie; "Jajestem swiatlosci~ swiata" (J 8, 12). W dzisiejszej Ewangelii Chrystus wypowiada zas slowa, jakie zobowiqzujqce dla ka:idego z nas: "Wy jesteScie swiatlem swiata" (Mt 5, 14). Bog nas powolal do nieustannego dawania Mu swiadectwa. To przez nas Chrystus chce bye widoczny w swiecie i rozswietlae ciemnosci tego swiata. Kaidy. kto si~ do Chrystusa przyznaje, kto Go przyjmuje i jest Jego uczeniem, jest rowniet rozpoznawany przez ludzi, jako swiadek i swiatlo Jezusa w swiecie. Chrystus wyrainie stwierdza w dzisiejszej Ewangelii: "Wy jestescie sol~ ziemi" (Mt 5, 13) oraz: "Wy jestescie swiatlem swiata".

Za dawanie swiadectwa wiary, takie w dzisiejszym swiecie, chrzescijanie sq przeSladowani. Co trzy minuty jest m~czensko zabijany chrzescijanin. Rocznie ginie w ten sposob sto siedemdziesiqt tysi~cy

chrzescijan. Dlaczego? Jedynie dlatego, te sq swiat/em swiata, a swiat, ktory chce iye w ciemnosci, nie mote tego swiatla zniese. Dlatego, te sq solq ziemi i chcq nadae swiatu i jego iyciu odpowiedni smak. Swiat czuje, jak niezwykly jest to smak, ale nie stae go na wysilek, aby wprowadzie ten smak w swoje iycie, dlatego zabija. Musimy pami~tae, te moc swiadectwa 0 swiatlosci i 0 soli nie naleiy do nas, ani nie dzieje si~ naszq mocq. To jest swiatlo Chrystusa i to jest smak Chrystusa. Trzeba, abysmy si~ starali, by w taden sposob tego swiatla nie zaciemniae przez grzech. Musimy robie wszystko, by w iaden sposob tego smaku nie psue.

Aby nasze swiadectwo wiary bylo iywe, mocne, czyste, przekonywujqce i wskazujqce innym drog~ do Boga, to musimy stale bye zjednoczeni z Panem Jezusem przez codziennq modlitw?, sluchanie Jego Slowa i wypelnianie go, uczestniczenie we Mszy SWi~/ej i przyjmowanie Go z czystym sercem w Eucharyslii. Musimy bye przenikni~ci Chrystusowym SWiatlem wiary, nadziei i milosci do Boga i drugiego czlowieka.

Chryslus chce przez nas swiecie swiatu, ktory trwa w ciemnosci. Jakie to waine, bysmy to przyj~li, bo bez Chrystusa panuje w swiecie jedynie ciemnose. Tam gdzie nie ma Chrystusa, panuje ciemnosi:! Chrzescijanin jest po to, aby byl solq ziemi, bo bez tej soli swiat jest skazany na calkowitq anarchi~.

Jeteli jestesmy solq ziemi, jeteli pelnimy 10 zadanie Chrystusa, jeste.smy nadziejq dla swiata. Jestesmy gwarancjq oddzielenia swialla od ciemnosci, dobra od zla. Jeslesmy gwarancjq sensu iycia dla siebie i kaidego czlowieka, klory na nas patrzy. Jesl to dla nas wielka odpowiedzialnosi:! Chrystus chce nas uiywae nieuslannie do tak blogoslawionego poslannictwa w swiecie, i bqdimy dumni z tego, kim naprawd~ jestesmy, bo Chrystus mowi dzisiaj do nas: "Tak niech wasze swiatlo jaSnieje przed ludzmi, aby widzieli wasze dobre uczynki i chwalili Ojca waszego, kt6ry jest w niebie" (MI 5, 16). Mamy bye

odpowiedzialni i zgodni z Chrystusem w ka:idej chwili naszego iycia osobistego, rodzinnego, spolecznego, narodowego; ale nigdy nie wolno nam przypisywae sobie swiatla, bo to Chrystus w nas swieci! Jeieli jeste.smy Mu posluszni, On w nas swieci pelnym blaskiem - i ma tak swiecic, aby ludzie chwalili Ojca w niebie.

K4Cik katechizmowy

Czym jest Dobra Nowina gloszona czlowiekowi? Jest ona zwiastowaniem Jezusa Chrystusa, "Syna Boga zywego" eMf 16,16), umarlego i zmartwychwstalego. W czasach krola Heroda i cezara Augusta Bog wypelnil obietnice dane Abrahamowi i jego potomstwu, posylajfjc "Syna swego, zrodzonego z niewiasty, zrodzonego pod Prawem, aby wykupil tych, ktorzy podlegali Prawu, abysmy mogli otrzymac przybrane synostwo"

Wjaki sposob rozpowszechnia sir Dobra Nowina? Od pOCZfjtku pierwsi uczniowie zapalali pragnieniem gloszenia Jezusa Chrystusa, aby doprowadzic ludzi do wiary w Niego. Tille dzisiaj, z tego przeniknilltego miloscifj poznania Chrystusa, rodzi sill pragnienie ewangelizacj i i katechizacji, to jest nauczania 0 Chrystusie, odkrywania w Osobie Chrystusa calego odwiecznego zamysru Bozego, doprowadzenia ludzkosci do komunii z Jezusem.
