Inspiration for the Week This week and next Jesus presents challenges
to Christians to go beyond the strictures of the law
and to engage in a deeper understanding of what it
can mean to follow Christ. Are we ready to do that
with our whole heart?

6th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Encourage Deeper Understanding of Scripture "Whoever obeys and teaches these commandments
will be called greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven."
Jesus presents two paths for us today: we can break His
commandments or obey them. And the result corresponds to our
choice. If we decide not to follow God's guidelines, we will not
enjoy the fullness of the Kingdom of Heaven. But if we choose
otherwise, Eternity will look much brighter for us!
Of course, it's easy to know in our minds what the right choice is.
But putting this into practice is another matter. The
commandments Jesus gives in today's Gospel are not easy to
follow. He takes the ancient Ten Commandments to a deeper
level of commitment. He says more than do not kill. Rather, do
not even harbor anger in our hearts. He says more than do not
commit adultery. Rather, do not even indulge in lustful thoughts.
He says more than do not lie. Rather, do not even swear.
Undoubtedly, Jesus is asking us to chart a challenging course.
But He would not expect us to follow these directives if it were
impossible to do so. And it's important to bear in mind that Jesus
doesn't set high standards to test or punish us. His love for us is at
the root of everything He teaches us. Following these
commandments, challenging though they may be, will in fact
make us happier people, both now and in Eternity! As with so
many good things in life, committed effort on our part is
necessary--whether it be maintaining good health, accomplishing
a certain skill, or earning a sought-after award. So too with a soul
that is truly free. We need to exercise a life of virtue by taking the
advice of Jesus Christ, the best life coach we could ever hope to
have.
Why Do We Do That?
Catholic Traditions Explained
Question: I read in the catechism that marriage is indissoluble. Why then
does the church issue an annulment?
Answer: The description of marriage as indissoluble is found in several
places in the "Catechism of the Catholic Church." Described as
required by spousal love (#1644) and as foundational to the union
of marriage (#1646), this quality of marriage draws its meaning
from the fidelity of Jesus to His Church (#1647). Spouses give
themselves once and forever to each other, forming a sacramental
bond that binds them as one. Indissolubility presumes and
depends upon the sacramental bond between spouses. An
annulment does not destroy the bond. Instead, it shows that a
sacramental bond never took place because, at the time of the
vows, something was either present or absent that made the
consent invalid. The ceremony itself does not bring about a
sacrament, but rather the full, free, and able consent of a man and
woman, one to the other. The husband and wife are the ministers
of the sacrament to each other because they give the gift of
themselves to one another. The priest is the official witness.
Therefore, if the gift of self is not given, or is held back for any
reason, no sacrament takes place.
Day of Penance and Mercy You are being called to a life of forgiveness. Accept God’s
invitation! As we prepare for the Season of Lent, prepare yourself
to embrace the gift of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Learn
more at http://forgiven.dor.org or contact your parish offices.
Churches across the Diocese of Rochester will open their doors
for those seeking the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Tuesday,
March 28. Join the Diocese in celebrating God’s mercy and love
at the Day of Penance and Mercy.
Learn more at http://forgiven.dor.org or contact your parish
offices. Have questions about the Sacrament of Reconciliation?
Has it been a while since you last celebrated? There is nothing to
fear. Visit http://forgiven.dor.org and click on ‘Commonly
Asked Questions’ to ease your worries.

"You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor

friends and parishioners who supported our Potato Pancake
Breakfast. The food was just delicious!
What a delight it was to see so many of you come in

VI Niedziela Zwykła Bóg tak bardzo szanuje ludzką wolność, że daje prawo
wyboru pomiędzy dobrem a złem. Prawdziwa mądrość człowieka
polega na tym, aby wybierać dobro. Prawo Boże zostało nam
więc dane jak światło i drogowskaz na rozstajne drogi; trzeba je
najpierw poznać, potem przyjąć i umiłować; wreszcie wypełniać
wiernie w swym życiu.
Jezus wymaga od uczniów, aby nie ograniczali się do
przestrzegania prawa - mają dawać z siebie więcej, niż powinni.
Nie tylko nie zabijać, ale nawet nie gniewać się; nie tylko nie
cudzołożyć, ale nie patrzeć pożądliwie na kobietę; nie tylko nie
przysięgać fałszywie, ale szanować swoje slowo. Dlatego
powinniśmy zaskakiwać ludzi dobrocią i wielkodusznością....
Miłość jest piękna. Młodzi w gruncie rzeczy szukają zawsze
piękna w miłości, chca, ażeby ich miłość była piękna. Jeśli
ulegują swoim słabością , jeżeli idą za tym wszystkim, co można
by nazwać ”zgorszeniem współczesnego świata” (...) to w głębi
serca pragną pięknej i czystej miłości (...) I ostatecznie wiedzą że
takiej miłości nikt im nie może dać,tylko Pan Bóg.
Podziękowanie Komitet Festywalowy dziękuje wszystkim
parafianom i przyjaciołom naszej parafii, którzy poparli Placki
Ziemniaczane na Śniadanie. Dochód w sumie $1,500 jest
przeznaczony na wydatki naszej parafii.
Modlitwa do św. Walentego Święty Walenty, opiekunie tych, którzy się kochają, Ty,
który z narażeniem życia urzeczywistniłeś i głosiłeś ewangeliczne
przesłanie pokoju, Ty, który – dzięki męczeństwu przyjętemu
z miłości -zwyciężyłeś wszystkie siły obojętności, nienawiści
i śmierci, wysłuchaj naszą modlitwę: W obliczu rozdarć
i podziałów w świecie daj nam zawsze kochać miłością
pozbawioną egoizmu, abyśmy byli pośród ludzi wiernymi
świadkami miłości Boga. Niech ożywiają nas miłość i zaufanie,
które pozwolą nam przezwyciężać życiowe przeszkody. Prosimy
Cię, wstawiaj się za nami do Boga, który jest źródłem wszelkiej
miłości i wszelkiego piękna, i który żyje i króluje na wieki
wieków. Amen.
Thank You and Our Apologies In January the “Opłatek Dinner Dance” was a great
opportunity for our parish family to spend an evening with
delicious dinner, a play by the Polish School children and
wonderful music. We never provided you with the amount of the
profit that this great undertaking brought for our parish. Today we
are correcting this. We raised $4,315 from selling of the tickets
and subtracting the expenses (band, security, food) we raised
$3,575. Additionally group #27 of the PNA raised an additional
$800 from the lottery. We thank everyone who was involved in
any way in this wonderful fundraiser and we are very grateful.
