 FROM FATHER RICH
Today’s readings, like last weekend, emphasize the importance of the virtue of humility in our
lives. Humble people are loved by others and by God. There are no favorites in the eyes of God.
“Have we not all one father? Did not one God create us?”. In the Gospel what counts for greatness is
if we serve. How far our world has wandered from the spirit of the Gospel. Let us use the “Litany of
Humility” to pray for the growth in humility and service.

From the desire of being esteemed,

Deliver me, O Jesus.
From the desire of being praised,
Deliver me, O Jesus.
From the desire of being preferred to others,
Deliver me, O Jesus.
From the fear of being humiliated,
Deliver me, O Jesus.
From the fear of being despised,
Deliver me, O Jesus.
From the fear of being suspected,
Deliver me, O Jesus.
That others may be loved more than I,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may be chosen and I set aside,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may be praised and I go unnoticed,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. God Bless! Fr. Rich

Did You Know?
Did you know that the Catholic values and faith that you teach your children at home are reinforced in Catho-
lic schools (including all extra-curricular activities) every moment of the day?
Did you know that through emphasis on service for others that is so much a part of Catholic schools, each stu-
dent learns the value of being Christ to others and grows in gratitude for their many blessings?
Consider a Catholic Education for Your Child

If you have any questions regarding this program, please call the school office at 708 424-7757. Please note
that if you have already been through the Virtus Training Program, you do not need to repeat it in order to
work with children again this year.

 OD KS. RYSZARDA
Jasna Góra była i nadal jest znakiem szczególnym Bożej Opatrzności w historii katolickiej Polski
i narodów wschodniej Europy. Od czasu przybycia cudownego Obrazu Matki Bożej na Jasną Górę w
1382 roku, miejsce to stało się sanktuarium narodowym i „Duchową Stolicą Polski”. Do tego świętego
miejsca pielgrzymował Naród Polski przez przeszło 600 lat swojej męczeńskiej historii. U stóp
Jasnogórskiej Pani szukał pociechy, siły i przetrwania. Tutaj pisze się historia Narodu Polskiego. Naród
ten wdzięczny Maryi za Jej opiekę i wstawiennictwo ogłosił Ją swoją Królową w 1656 roku. Wielki
Kardynał Tysiąclecia, Stefan Wyszyński, mówił o Jasnej górze, że „jest ona amboną Narodu,
konfesjonałem Narodu, wieczernikiem Narodu i nową Kaną...”. Papież Jan Paweł II podczas swojej
apostolskiej pielgrzymki na Jasną Górę w 1979 roku wypowiedział te historyczne słowa: „Trzeba
przykładać ucho pasterskie do murów Jasnej Góry, gdzie bije serce Narodu w sercu jego Matki...”.
Jasna Góra stała się fortecą i już po niedługim czasie przeżyła bardzo ciężkie chwile. Podczas "potopu
szwedzkiego" 160 żołnierzy, 20 szlachciców ze służbą, 70 zakonników i wiele kobiet broniło Jasnej Góry
przed liczącą ponad 3 tysiące żołnierzy armią szwedzką pod dowództwem Burcharda Müllera. Obroną
Częstochowy kierował przeor Augustyn Kordecki. Oblężenie trwało 40 dni, od 18 listopada do nocy z 26
na 27 grudnia 1655 roku. Wojska szwedzkie poniosły dotkliwe straty. Udana obrona Jasnej Góry miała
dla Polaków wielkie moralne znaczenie. 1 kwietnia 1656 roku król Jan Kazimierz złożył uroczyste
ślubowanie w katedrze lwowskiej, poddał kraj pod władzę Matki Boskiej. Specjalny akt prawny ogłosił
wybór Marii Panny Królową i opiekunką Polski.
8 września 1717 roku na Jasnej Górze miała miejsce ogromnie ważna uroczystość - koronacja obrazu
Matki Boskiej Jasnogórskiej. Koronę ufundował król Polski August II Sas. Do Częstochowy przybyło
około 200 tysięcy pielgrzymów, liczba w owych czasach niespotykana. Obrzęd koronacji był bardzo
symboliczny - uznano go za ukoronowanie Matki Boskiej na Królową Polski. W październiku 1909 roku
skradziono dwie korony zdobiące obraz od prawie 200 lat i papież Pius X zdecydował ofiarować Matce
Najświętszej nowe korony. 22 maja 1910 roku odbyła się powtórna koronacja cudownego wizerunku.

O Ty, której obraz widać w każdej polskiej chacie

I w kościele, i w sklepiku, i w pysznej komnacie,
W ręku tego, co umiera, nad kołyską dzieci,
I przed którą dniem i nocą wciąż się światło świeci.
Która perły masz od królów, złoto od rycerzy,
W którą wierzy nawet taki, który w nic nie wierzy,
Która widzisz nas każdego cudnymi oczami,
Matko Boska Częstochowska, zmiłuj się nad nami!

Ks. Ryszard
