PENTECOST SUNDAY – The descent of the Holy Spirit

May 18th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

holy-spirit-filledToday we celebrate the Pentecost Sunday. We remember that Sunday around 2 thousands years ago when the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles and made them powerful to proclaim the Kingdom of God to the modern world.

And today we celebrate Sunday when the same Holy Spirit is coming upon us in this church making us powerful to tell others about Jesus Christ in our lives.

We celebrate this solemnity of 50 days after Easter as the fullness of Easter itself. It is the Holy Spirit who gives us any strength of faith that we may have. Just as Jesus died and was raised to life by the Spirit of the Father, so also we must live our life in the same Spirit of the Father, as sisters and brothers of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Holy Eucharist is the time when we are waiting prayerfully on the Holy Spirit. We ask him: Come Holy Spirit and renew the face of our Church.

We pray also Come Holy Spirit and renew my family, my friends and myself as well. This could be happened when we believe in this.

THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD; Mother’s Day

May 11th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

Mother's Day 2013Today we celebrate the Ascension Sunday and Mother’s Day.

First of all we love our mothers. Everyone has the reverence to his or her mother. Everyone thanks and remembers of own mother in this day: sends the card, calls to her and especially prays for her. Mothers are very important persons in our lives. Mothers may not know it but they are very often responsible for the faith development of their children more than many priests put together. Mothers encourage the children to go to the Church, to pray and to be faithful to God. If we are good children we will be there in the Church. If children live with acceptance and friendship, they learn to find love in the world too.

God bless you mothers as you go about your difficult task of imparting the faith to our children. We thank you in this Holy Eucharist and by the hands of Mother of God and us Mary.

THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD 6th Sunday of Easter

May 4th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

Czest1Today we celebrate the 6th Sunday of Easter. The Easter Season is very important in the liturgical year. It concerns the most important matter of our faith which is the Resurrection of Jesus and after this our own resurrection on the last day.

Today’s gospel directs our thoughts on the relationship with invisible Jesus. That to be in the contact with him we don’t need physical touch of Jesus we need to follow his words in our private lives and after this we will be in the communion with God the Father and with Jesus. The base of this relation will be done by Holy Spirit who is the advocate of the Church in the pilgrimage to the Heavenly Kingdom and our own consoler.

From the other side we began the month dedicated to Our Lady, a favorite of popular devotion. In accord with a long-standing tradition of devotion; parishes and families continue to make the month of May a ‘Marian’ month, celebrating it with many devout liturgical, catechetical and pastoral initiatives!

The Holy Eucharist is the time when we hear the words of Jesus and we start follow it. It is also the situation when we love each other and we realize by this fact our love to God alone and the example of the BVM helps us in that matter.

THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD 5th SUNDAY OF EASTER

April 27th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

love1Today we celebrate the 5th Sunday of Easter. The Easter Sundays show us the main important base for our religion. It shows us the main rule of Christianity the love to the other people on the way of Jesus Christ.

  The last supper discourse of Jesus to his apostles which we will hear in today’s Gospel; is a mix of many consoling things Jesus had said to them in the course of their time together so that they might be sustained in hope after he had returned to the Father-in-Heaven. The consolation today is mixed with a challenge – a new commandment which sounds nice but which turns out to be very difficult. For as we know from the experience of our lives it is very hard to love everyone, especially those who are closest to us, our colleagues, our families, our close friends, the people next door and the enemies.
The Eucharist which we now celebrate is the power for the practice of the new commandment in our daily lives. We have to utilize it for our own goodness.

One Main Point

We are to love because Christ has loved us and as Christ loved us.

 Reflections

1 Jesus’ disciples have proven their love for their non-Christian fellows by enduring the hardships and even death while bringing the Gospel to Jews and Gentiles. Has my love for others been tested?
2 Who does Jesus command me to love, and how?

3 Is your community of faith (or group) clearly a community of love in Christ?

THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD – 4th SUNDAY OF EASTER

April 20th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

icon-of-the-good-shepherdToday we celebrate the 4th Sunday of Easter – the Shepherd Sunday. Jesus in today’s Gospel reveals us that He is the Lord, Son of God and the Leader of all disciples – Christians. Today is the day when we pray for all people in the Church who imitate Christ in the service of leading. We pray first of all for all clergy: the bishops, priests and deacons and for lay people who are leading the parishes in every level of the Parish Committee officer. The prayer is the big help for that persons, therefore we do this especially in this Sunday.

The Eucharist is the big prayer and the big offering where the mediator between us and God is the high advocate, Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd. From the other side He is also our offering the Paschal Lamb of God. We have the good connection with God but we have to make use of this prayer often.

3rd SUNDAY OF EASTER

April 13th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

MensaToday we celebrate the 3rd Sunday of Easter.

In the Easter Season we feel the presence of our Resurrected Jesus. The statue of Resurrected Christ, the Paschal Candle and the Cross with the red stole there are the symbols of that presence of Jesus in our Church and in our lives.

But He is coming very realistic in each Eucharist by the sacrament of the Word of God and the sacrament of the Holy Communion. And very important is our response to that coming of Jesus and our mission to go and to do the simple things which we know the best with a new heart and a new zeal.

During the Eucharist we learn more how to give the love to the others, but we also learn how to get the love from the others, first of all from God, further from our parents, from our friends and even from our enemies. We must make thank to God for that kind of love.

One Main Point

Out of love, Jesus’ disciples are called to unite and bring the whole world to Christ in the Eucharistic celebration, where Christ feeds all.

Reflections

  1. When Jesus asks me, “Do you love me?” how would I reply?
  2. Out of love for Jesus, what does Jesus ask me to do here and now?
  3. To what extent would I accept his invitation for action?

2nd SUNDAY OF EASTER

April 6th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

JesusTrust1Today we celebrate the 2nd Sunday of Easter. On this Sunday we have the explanation of our goal for going to Church every Sunday. It is the reason to be in the community of the Church to meet Jesus who is alive and who brings us peace. For that we need the faith which will be making us the image of God in our contemporary world. Today we need peace in our lives. We see many dangers starting from terrorism to the danger of our own health which can be cut off by some accident. We need the power to overcome it. And we see today that the only power to save us is Jesus Christ and his resurrection.

The Eucharist, which we now celebrate, is the same Eucharist which the disciples of Jesus celebrated on that first day of the week and the week after, when Jesus came and said to them “Peace be with you”. This Eucharist is the power for us to believe in the resurrection of Jesus and our own resurrection after our death. We have only to confess as Thomas said “My Lord and My God”.

The Solemnity of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ – Easter Sunday

March 30th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

JesusResurrection81Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ – simply the Easter Sunday.

This is the day the Lord has made, Let us be glad and rejoice in it”

Alleluia! He is risen as He said, Alleluia! This Easter Sunday is not an anniversary of that first Easter morning. Nor, is this Easter a memorial – a remembrance of that first Easter Sunday morning.

Today is Easter. Today is the Day the Lord has made. Today, He is Risen.

Pay attention sisters and brothers to those present tense words: Today is Easter – This is the Day - they need to be heard by us. We are not recalling what happened to Jesus, nor the events of the first Easter. We are not spectators watching the reactions of the three disciples – Mary Magdalene, Peter and John. Rather, this Easter Sunday is our sharing in the triumph and victory of God.

1 Imagine that you standing in front of the empty tomb and looking in, what does the tomb look like? Is it foul? What do you see?

2 Put yourself in Peter’s place: guilt-ridden by his betrayal of Jesus, dispirited by Jesus’ death, and, now, even the body was gone! Have you ever experienced moments when God is absent from your life?

3 The beloved disciples saw the folded linen cloths and believed.
Recall one specific sign that led you to believe in the Risen Lord.

ASCENSION OF THE LORD – 7th SUNDAY OF EASTER

May 19th, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink

Jesus Christ departed the earth and he sent apostles and, after them us – to go and proclaim the Gospel to all people on the earth. Over the twenty centuries the Church grew in number and widened the territory of goodness in the world. Today our Church has the same mission to live more deeply by the Gospel and proclaim it making the new disciples for Christ. Today the success of this mission is upon us.

The Eucharist, which we now celebrate, is the anamnesis – Reminder and Participation in the Ascension of the Lord. We remember this event and at the same time we participate in it. Therefore the message of our Master Jesus Christ is in force to us today too. We are the Disciples of Christ and we have to live in the communion with Jesus in his Church and proclaim His message to all people on the world.

THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD – 6th SUNDAY OF EASTER; Mother’s Day

May 12th, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink

We are again reminded today that the heart of Christianity is love: love of God, love of one another. Jesus tells us that we have to love one another as he has loved us. This is a very demanding love, for it commits us to love not only those we like and who love us or like-minded fellow Christians, but also the difficult ones, the “unlovable,” people far from perfect, outsiders… That is not so easy, and this is probably why he calls it a commandment.

Today is also Mother’s day. We thank God for the gift of motherhood, both biological motherhood and spiritual motherhood. We ask God for his special blessing on our earthly mothers living or dead.

One important fact that cannot be dismissed is that mothers are generally very protective of their children. The Church is described as “Holy Mother Church”. God entrusted to the Church the responsibility to guide His sons and daughters aright with the word of God and to follow the path established by God for the salvation of souls.

Let us ask our Lord in this Eucharist that we may grow in this openness of genuine love.

Reflections

  1. As we meditate on the image of the vine, or on the word “abide”, how is this reflecting your own community? Do you belong to any believing community? Who are the members? What does this community mean to you?
  2. Love is not a word but an action. What are some of the problems in your community? Misunderstanding? How does a loving action bring the community together?
  3. Reflect on an experience of being loved by someone, recall the happiness, how is this experience a manifestation of Jesus’ love?
