ASKING FOR HELP The Beatitudes praise the poor in spirit. One characteristic of those who are poor in spirit is their ability to ask for help; they know when others can provide what they lack. Today’s readings encourage us to practice poverty in spirit by asking God for what we need. What could be more natural than to ask God for good things? God is, after all, the inventor of goodness and the giver of all good things. Asking God for help puts us in conversation with God. These conversations take many forms. The reading from Genesis shows Abraham bantering with God like a skilled negotiator, while Saint Paul’s letter to the Colossians praises God for answering us even when we don’t deserve it. In Saint Luke’s Gospel, Jesus not only gives us words to use in our conversations with God (the Our Father), but also promises that God always listens to our prayers. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

Our new garden of the Our Lady of Fatima around the renovated bell tower is finished. I wholeheartedly thank all those who have financially supported this beautiful project. The names of all benefactors will soon be placed "forever" on a special commemorative plaque. I would like to thank all who worked at the new garden; my words of gratitude go to: Staszek, Tomek, Jacenty, Robert, Staszek, Bartek, Łukasz, Joszko, Anna, Dorota, Elena, Staszek, Matthew, Jesus, Miguel and Luis. I thank you for your time, your good will, work and devotion to our church. Our parish Carnival is approaching quickly (August 22nd to August 25th - Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday). Please, remember that on Sunday August 25th the 1:30 pm Polish Mass will be cancelled and instead we will celebrate a bilingual (English/Polish) Mass at 12:00 pm. I urge parents and grandparents of our parish to buy Megapasses ($50.00 each) for their children and grandchildren. Megapasses can be purchased each Sunday after each Mass and during the week in the parish office. Let’s gather together at the parish carnival as loving God’s Family that respects all of her members. I embrace all of you with a heartfelt and benevolent prayer through the intercession of our patron Saint Albert the Great. ”Jesus, I Trust in You”! Fr. Mariusz

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The pilgrim experience of going by foot to Santiago de Compostella, the shrine of St. James, reached its high point this week at the feast of the Apostle, with tens of thousands of pilgrims on the road. Typically, they cover twelve to twenty miles a day through rough territory. The difficult journey and the often primitive lodging facilities are made bearable by the joy of the pilgrims, their songs and prayers. When their journey is documented properly, they receive the scallop shell, a reminder not only of James the fisherman, but also his call to fish for human beings and to baptize the nations. In the Middle Ages, those who wore this badge on their hats were granted lodging and hospitality wherever they went. Next to the palm, the sign of a Jerusalem pilgrim, the scallop shell was most highly prized. In the Middle Ages, some people so enjoyed the pilgrim road, although it was filled with discomfort and danger, that they spent most of their lives on the road. Today, some people take up the route for exercise, but are drawn gradually into the spirituality of the journey. As you make your summer travels, always fold in an element of pilgrimage: a long walk through beautiful countryside, a visit to a church, a prayer of gratitude for your journey through life’s hills and valleys. —James Field, Copyright © J.

Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza Moi Kochani Bracia i Siostry!

Nasz nowy ogród Matki Bożej Fatimskiej wokół odnowionej wysokiej wieży jest prawie dokończony. Z całego serca dziękuje tym wszystkim, którzy wsparli finansowo ten piękny projekt. Imiona i nazwiska dobroczyńców zostaną wkrótce umieszczone „na wieki” na specjalnej pamiątkowej tablicy. Dziękuje też tym, którzy pracowali przy nowym ogrodzie. Słowa podziękowań kieruję więc do: Staszka, Tomka, Jacentego, Roberta, Staszka, Bartka, Łukasza, Joszko, Anny, Doroty, Eleny, Staszka, Mateusza, Jesus, Miguela i Luisa. Dziękuję wam za poświęcony czas, chęci, mozolną ciężką pracę oraz przywiązanie do naszego kościoła.

Zbliża się także nasz Karnawał Parafialny (22 sierpnia do 25 sierpnia tj. czwartek, piątek, sobota i niedziela). Zapamiętajmy, że w niedzielę 25 sierpnia nie będzie Mszy Świętej o godz. 1:30 po południu. W tym dniu Msza Święta o godz. 12:00 w południe będzie dwujęzyczna (English/Polish). Zachęcam rodziców i dziadków do kupowania Megapassów dla dzieci i młodzieży (50 $). W czasie naszego Karnawału bądźmy wszyscy razem jako wielka szanująca się „Rodzina Boża”!

Zachęcam też was do udziału w Pieszej Pielgrzymce Maryjnej do Merrillville w Indianie (10 i 11 sierpień). Zapisy na pielgrzymkę rozpoczną się od 28 lipca po każdej niedzielnej Eucharystii oraz w tygodniu w kancelarii parafialnej.

Wszystkich naszych parafian, dobrodziejów i modlących się w naszym kościele ogarniam serdeczną i życzliwą modlitwą za wstawiennictwem św. Alberta Wielkiego.

„Jezu, ufam Tobie”!

Fr. Mariusz

TWÓRCZA MODLITWA? Zapytano raz mędrca: Jaki jest warunek zachowania sprawiedliwości w niesprawiedliwym świecie? Ten odpowiedział: Trzeba się modlić! Człowiek, który umie się modlić, potrafi w tym świecie być sprawiedliwy. Jeżeli się nie modli, wcześniej czy później zginie zarażony jedną z chorób moralnych świata. Rozumieli to apostołowie, prosząc Pana Jezusa, aby nauczył ich się modlić. Widzieli Go bowiem często, gdy się modlił. Umieli recytować pacierze, śpiewać psalmy i hymny, ale nie umieli się modlić. Pan Jezus nauczył ich zwięzłej modlitwy „Ojcze nasz”, bo chciał, aby – podobnie jak Abraham (I czytanie) – kołatali do Jego miłosiernego serca z ufnością, prosząc o łaskę i wsparcie. Tylko

autentyczna modlitwa – rozmowa z Bogiem, która nie jest bezmyślnym „odklepywaniem” pacierzy, prowadzi do spotkania z Nim. Człowiek wówczas waży każde słowo i znacznie więcej słucha niż mówi. Tylko taka modlitwa kształtuje ludzkie serce i jest twórcza. Za kilka dni przybędzie do naszej Ojczyzny papież Franciszek, który uczy nas, jak potężną i skuteczną Bożą pomocą dla człowieka jest modlitwa. Jest ona drogocenną perłą, którą możemy ofiarować Bogu. Biskup Antoni Długosz w piosence San Damiano, powstałej na cześć Ojca Świętego Franciszka, śpiewa: „O Franciszku – Biedaczyno, co pokorą świat zadziwiasz; ucz nas wszystkich, jak się winno – z serca skarby wydobywać. O Franciszku – Biedaczyno, co Kościoła trzymasz filar; pomóż znaleźć tym, co giną – chrześcijański życia wymiar”. Dziękujmy Bogu za to, że przez posługę papieża przypomina nam o najważniejszych sprawach wiary. ks. Stanisław Jasionek
