Our church is Baltimore’s Premier Polish-American Roman Catholic parish and has become the center of Polish religious, cultural, and social life. Our parish is a place where Polish values are proclaimed and upheld and also a place where Poles and non-Poles can express fully their fi delity to God. We are not in any sense a closed community, and we welcome all Americans and all ethnic groups in our church. A key Polish value is openness to the universal mission of the Church, and thus we try to make our church which is also the Archdiocesan Shrine of Divine Mercy a place in which our friends and neighbors of non-Polish background can feel comfortable practicing their Catholic faith.

Zapraszamy wszystkich serdecznie

na film pt. "PASJA " Mela Gibsona w niedzielę 13 marca o godz.

12pm

(zaraz po kawie) Film tłumaczony na język polski.

"PASJA" jest wstrząsającym opisem ostatnich 12 godzin życia Jezusa Chrystusa. To zdecydowanie najmocniejsze przedstawienie Pasji z jakim spotkaliśmy sie do tej pory w kinie. Film jest wierny przekazom historycznym, biblijnym oraz teologicznym. Aby podkreślić autentyczność historii, aktorzy posługują się dwoma wymarłymi językami: aramejskim i łaciną. "Pasja" to obrazowe dzieło sztuki prowokujace do poważnego myślenia i refleksji nad śmiercią Chrystusa. Jest to film o wierze, nadziei, miłości i przebaczeniu, a wiec o tym czego bardzo potrzeba w dzisiejszych burzliwych czasach. http://1.fwcdn.pl/ po/82/33/38233/7517638.3.jpg

What are the plenary indulgences associated with the Year of Mercy?

Like all past Jubilees in the Church, the Year of Mercy features a very special plenary indulgence—the complete remission of all temporal punishment due to sin. In celebration of this Extraordinary Jubilee, Pope Francis is making the indulgence as widely available as possible.

"To experience and obtain the Indulgence, the faithful are called to make a brief pilgrimage to the Holy Door, open in every Cathedral or in the churches designated by the Diocesan Bishop, and in the four Papal Basilicas in Rome, as a sign of the deep desire for true conversion." -Pope Francis

To receive the Jubilee Year indulgence, you must fulfill the usual conditions, and perform the act of indulgence: passing through a designated Holy Door during the extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, or performing one of the Corporal or Spiritual Works of Mercy.

Conditions for the Gaining of an indulgence

It is necessary that the faithful be in the state of grace at least at the time the indulgenced work is completed.

A plenary indulgence can be gained only once a day. In order to obtain it, the faithful must, in addition to being in the state of grace:

Have the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, even venial sin;

Have sacramentally confessed their sins;

Receive the Holy Eucharist (it is certainly better to receive it while participating in Holy Mass, but for the indulgence only Holy Communion is required); and

Pray for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff.

It is appropriate, but not necessary, that the sacramental Confession and especially Holy Communion and the prayer for the Pope's intentions take place on the same day that the indulgenced work is performed; but it is sufficient that these sacred rites and prayers be carried out within several days (about 20) before or after the indulgenced act. Prayer for the Pope's intentions is left to the choice of the faithful, but an Our Father and a Hail Mary are suggested. One sacramental Confession suffices for several plenary indulgences, but a separate Holy Communion and a separate prayer for the Holy Father's intentions are required for each plenary indulgence.

For the sake of those legitimately impeded, confessors can commute both the work prescribed and the conditions required (except, obviously, detachment from even venial sin).

Indulgences can always be applied either to oneself or to the souls of the deceased, but they cannot be applied to other persons living on earth.

In the

Scripture…

There is some-

thing about start-

ing over. A new

page. A new year.

A new week.

That feeling that

the past is the

past. I like to

think that people who have messed up in some way

get a second chance, and that they learn from their

mistakes.

The parable in John’s gospel is one of my own favor-

ites. I wish I could have been there to see the scribes

and the Pharisees who thought they had a “gotcha”

moment. “Let the one among you who is without

sin be the first to throw a stone at her,” Jesus tells

them, as this poor woman stands there. Jesus goes

back to tracing patterns in the dirt as the Pharisees and

scribes melt away. Jesus does not condemn the woman

either as he tells her to go and sin no more.

In my own world, when I feel judgmental of others, I

need to remember that powerful phrase. I can strive to

start over, to know that God will welcome me as I am.

I can try to live that way in my own life. I can remem-

ber the verse before the Gospel where God

says: “Return to me with your whole heart, for I am

gracious and merciful.” I pray that I return to God eve-

ry day, every hour with a whole heart.

LENTEN

RETREAT

You are cordially invited to come to the Lenten Retreat

Fr. Michael Zoufal from

Chicago will preach the

Lenten Retreat

this SUNDAY

March 13

at 8:30 am and 12:30 pm

Fridays during Lent are

days of abstinence.

Abstinence binds all persons who are at least 14 years old, unless prevented by poor health. On days of abstinence, the

consumption of meat is not allowed. The Church strongly encourages the observance of Friday abstinence, however, failure

to do so is not regarded as a sin. Lent is a penitential season and as such religious practices such as daily Mass, reception of

the Sacrament of Penance, the devotion of the Stations of the Cross, works of charity and justice, and acts of self-denial are

highly encouraged.

Good Friday is day of fast & abstinence. Fasting binds people 18 years old up to 59 years old, unless

prevented by poor health. On days of fasting, one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be

taken according to one’s own needs. Eating between meals is not allowed although fluids may be taken.
