THE LORD OF LIFE At this bountiful time of year, our Sunday readings teem with life and abundance. Both the first reading, from the book of Wisdom, and the Gospel passage from Mark assure us that God did not make death or even will us to be ill. Illness and death entered the world through the presence of evil, the Wisdom author tells us. Mark’s stories of Jesus

healing a hemorrhaging woman and resuscitating a dead little girl make it clear that Jesus is from God. As the Son of God he does not will that anyone suffer illness or death. In the face of such power, the second reading, from Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthi-

ans, provides a stark contrast. Jesus, who could raise the dead to new life, “though he was rich, for your sake he became poor” (2 Corinthians 8:9). Our gift of new life from Christ

demands our response in charity.

—————————————— La Semana antes de la Colecta

La próxima semana, nuestra diócesis llevara a cabo la Colecta Peter’s Pence, la cual le proporciona al Santo Padre los fondos que necesita para realizar sus mas

importantes labores caritativas. Lo recaudado en la Colecta beneficia a los

mas necesitados; a las victimas de Guerra, de opresión y de desastres

naturales. Por medio de su generosidad, estaremos esparciendo la paz de Cristo

por el mundo.

EL SENOR DE LA VIDA En este tiempo tan fecundo del ano

nuestras lecturas dominicales rebosan con vida y abundancia. Tanto la primera

lectura, del libro de la Sabiduría, como la tercera del Evangelio de san Marcos nos aseguran que Dios no creo la muerte, ni

quiere que suframos de ninguna enfermedad. Fue por la envidia del diablo que la muerte entro al mundo, según nos dice el Sabio. Y lo que san Marcos nos

cuenta sobre la curación de la hemorroisa y como revivió la hija de Jairo nos muestran claramente que Jesús viene de Dios. Como

Hijo de Dios, Jesús no quiere que nadie sufra enfermedad ni muerte. Pero en el

contexto de tanto poder, la segunda lectura, de la segunda carta de san Pablo a

los corintios, nos presenta un fuerte contraste. Jesús, que puede levantar a los muertos a una nueva vida, “siendo rico se hizo pobre por ustedes” (2 Corintios 8:9).

Así pues, la nueva vida que recibimos como regalo de Cristo exige una respuesta:

nuestra caridad.

Le projet de Dieu est un projet de vie

Aujourd'hui la liturgie de la parole entonne un vibrant hymne a la vie. La première lecture proclame que la création est est porteuse de vie non de mort. Le projet de Dieu comme projet de vie ne dément pas la caducité des êtres créés. La mort dont il est celle que le diable a fait entrer dans le monde. Sans le péché la mort ne serait pas la séparation d'avec Dieu, mais entrée dans l'existence impérissable avec lui. L'Evangile présente Jésus comme celui qui rend a la vie la fille d'un chef de synagogue. Le désarroi de ce dernier est la notre devant la mort brutale d'un être cher. La puissance de vie et de salut agisse an Jésus pour ceux qui ont la foi. Devant l'incrédulité des disciples, des serviteurs de J'aire et de la foule, une personne parmi la foule qui bouscule Jésus, le touche avec la foi est sauvée de son mal, un seul homme, J'aire, conti-nue a croire et assiste a la résurrection de son enfant. Jésus ne demande que la foi: la foi en au Dieu vivant, la foi en la vie:" Ne crains pas, crois seulement."

Estimados feligreses y amigos de Santa Ana,

Vengo a ustedes como su nuevo Párroco, sabiendo que tenemos un sólo Pastor, Jesucristo, el Buen Pastor, a quien hemos dedicado nuestras vidas y almas. Vengo después del P. Steve, P. Frank y otros buenos hombres que les han servido con estimable dedicación

y piedad. Yo estoy consciente de que Uds. tienen sus respectivas tradiciones y modos de expresarlas y de celebrar la sagrada liturgia y la vida misma. Por eso, me alegra asociarme con Uds. formándome parte de su comunidad multicultural. Haré lo mejor que puedo en asistirles en ese caminar en pos del Buen Pastor.

<<Esta es la vida eterna: que te conozcan a ti, único Dios verdadero, y a tu envidado, Jesucristo>> (Jn 17:3).

Con el tiempo espero con gran entusiasmo conocer a cada uno de ustedes, escuchar sus historias personales, y saber cómo ha sido su tiempo aquí en Santa Ana, reconociendo que sus vidas también enriquecerá la mía. Hoy quiero compartir con Uds. una parte de mi historia y como he llegado a esta etapa de mi vida:

Yo nací el 13 de noviembre de 1963 en una granja, el séptimo de diez niños de mis padres Mary y Stanislaw Wadowski, que son del sur de Polonia, de un pueblo llamado Skawinki. Ese pueblo se encuentra siete millas de distancia del Wadowice, el pueblo natal de san Juan Pablo II.

Después del bachiller, tuve que servir por dos años en la Fuerza Aérea de Polonia. Al concluir ese servicio mandatorio por el gobierno en ese tiempo, fui a trabajar en las minas por dos años. A los 23 años, decidí entrar al Seminario para realizar el sueño que tenía desde muy temprano edad: de ser un misionero. Después de un año de formación religiosa, entre a la comunidad llamada, los Padres Misioneros de Caridad, fundada por la beata Teresa de Calcuta, a quien tuvo la dicha de conocer varias veces. En 1988, tras una estadía en Francia por unos meses, recibí mi visa y pudo venir e integrarme en la comunidad aquí en el Bronx, NY. En poco tiempo, la comunidad se trasladó a Tijuana, México. Ahí pasee seis años aprendiendo español e inglés. Durante mi tiempo trabajando en México, me tocó regresar al Bronx por un año y después fui a San Francisco para trabajar en un voluntariado ayudando a las Hermanas de la comunidad, sirviendo en su casa de refugio para los desamparados y pacientes con SIDA.

Recibí mi formación teológica como miembro de la comunidad en la universidad Angelicum, que es servido por los padres dominicos, en Roma, por 3 años. Durante mis estudios teológicos, decidí ser un sacerdote diocesano y me fui para Albania para continuar mi labor misionera. Ahí me ordenaron sacerdote el 5 de julio de 1997. Por los próximos siete años trabajé en Albania en tres parroquias como un vicario y des-pués como administrador.

En el año 2004, recibí una oportunidad de regresar a Long Island donde había visitado una cuantas veces durante los años. Mi primera asignación fue como párroco vicario de la Iglesia Santísimo Sacramento en Valley Stream, NY. Después me mandaron a Nuestra Señora de Perpetuo Socorro en Lindenhurst y a la Iglesia de San Kilian en Farmingdale, NY. El obispo Murphy luego me nombró párroco de Nuestra Señora de Ostrabrama en Cutchogue, el 25 de junio de 2014.

Ahora comienzo una nueva experiencia aquí en Brentwood ligándome con Uds., en la peregrinación de servicio y adoración, en el lugar y la comunidad que ha sido construido por todos ustedes. Por favor no dejen de enseñarme cosas acerca de Santa Ana y de compartir conmigo la experiencia de su fe. ¡Gracias por sus oraciones y amabilidad!

¡Qué Dios les bendiga siempre! Rev.StanislawWadowski
