Everything for God’s Glory…..Father Andrzej

The message of Lent is MERCY; the Divine Mercy that we need every day and being merciful to one another that restores God's Image in all of us. Through our love to one another we see the face of God. So, how do we improve our relationships to be more and more merci-ful? I encourage you to pick one person from your neighborhood or family for one week of Lent and pray for her/him that God will change the both of you. Also, all sacrifices such as fasting, abstinence, almsgiving that we make spiritually for God, offer symbolically for this person of the week. Finally, start listening to him/her patiently and start talking lovingly. Be generous. The person for the week may be the one you dislike or for which you have contempt. Another week, perhaps someone who has harmed you or treated you unjustly or humiliated you. Another week, someone that has been harmed by you. Apologizing; getting rid of anger, ha-tred, or animosity, and fasting would bring the fruit of God's Mercy through these prayers, as well as improved conversations. Lent could be tough for you but will bring you the virtue of being merciful..

Nuestra Señora de Lourdes La Santísima Virgen se apareció a Santa Bernardita en 1858 en Lourdes, Francia, un poco más de 150 años. Su mensaje era para animar la oración, especialmente rezar el Rosario diariamente. Sin embargo, su aparición en Lourdes tenía otro propósito, para confirmar de una manera sobrenatural el nuevo dogma de la Inmaculada Concepción. Este dogma fue proclamado cuatro años antes por el Papa Pío IX, pero era una creencia Tradicional de los fieles católicos. El sitio web de EWTN ha reproducido toda la historia escrita por Santa Bernardita de la aparición milagrosa de la Virgen. La siguiente es una sección pequeña: Se continua en la pagina proxima...

Our Lady of Lourdes The Blessed Mother appeared to St. Bernadette in 1858 in Lourdes, France, a little over 150 years ago. Her message was to encourage prayer, especially saying the daily Rosary. However, her appearance at Lourdes had another purpose, to confirm in a supernatural way the new dogma of the Immaculate Conception. This dogma was proclaimed four years earlier by Pope Pius IX, but was a traditional belief of the Catholic faithful. The EWTN website has reprinted the whole story as written by St. Bernadette of the miraculous appearance by the Blessed Mother. The following is a small section: “On March 25th, I was roused from sleep by an inner insistence to go to the grotto. It was still dark when I reached Massabielle. The Lady was there and waiting for me. I apologized for keeping her waiting, for I had caught a cold. She smiled, I knelt down, we said the Rosary together. Then the Lady came very close to me. I told her how I loved her, and how happy I was to see her again. “Mademoiselle,” I said, “would you be so kind as to tell me who you are, if you please?” Instead of replying, she only smiled. I said again, “Would you be so kind as to tell me who you are?” I said this four times altogether. The Lady extended her hands towards the ground, swept them upwards to join them on her heart, raised her eyes, but not her head to Heaven, leaned tenderly towards me and said, “I am the Immaculate Concep-tion” She smiled at me. She disappeared. I was alone. “I did not understand the words, but I knew the Priest would. I knew also the Lady loved the Priest. Leaving my candle at the grotto, I went straight to Fr. Peyramale, saying the Lady’s name to myself along the way. Father was waiting for me. I bowed and said, “I am the Immaculate Conception.” Seeing his surprise, I explained, “the Lady said, ‘I am the Immaculate Conception.’” The Blessed Virgin did not say “I am the one who was immaculately conceived” but rather “I am the Immaculate Conception.” This unusual statement is a declaration from Heaven of the essential personhood of every unborn human from the moment of conception. God creates each new human life immediately as a person. In other words, a new hu-man life is never in existence without it also always being a person. The newly-conceived is immediately an immortal, intellectual soul. If this person died a moment after being conceived, his soul would be immediately appearing before His Creator, and this person would receive his eternal reward. Let’s remember this year to pray for each unborn child whom God has created and also let’s pray for each mother and father to respect God’s wishes and allow the newly-created child to live the life God wants for that child. In addition, parents must perpetually keep in mind that God gave us our children for the purpose of educating them in the Faith and of practicing the Faith so that they will receive the place in Heaven that He has prepared for them from all eternity. Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us Catholic parents to teach our children the truths of the Faith so that they may be faithful in practicing the Faith and attain eternal happiness with us and You Our Blessed Mother.

Nuestra Señora de Lourdes (continuado) "El 25 de marzo, me despertó de su sueño por una insistencia interior para ir a la gruta. Todavía era de noche cuando llegué a Massabielle. La dama estaba allí y me espera. Me disculpé que me espera, pues habia sido enferma. Ella son-rió, me arrodillé, rezamos el Rosario juntos. Entonces la Señora se acercó mucho a mí. Le dije cuánto la amaba, y que estoy feliz de volver a verla. "Senora", le dije, "¿desearia Usted decirme Quién es Usted, por favor?" En la respuesta, ella se limitó a sonreír. Me dijo otra vez: "¿Sería tan amable de decirme Quién es Usted?". Le dije esto cuatro veces en total. La Señora extendió sus manos hacia el suelo, luego hacia arriba hasta unirselas en su corazón, alzó los ojos, pero no la cabeza, hacia el cielo, se inclinó con ternura hacia mí y dijo:"Soy Immaculada Concepcion". Sonrió a mi y desa-pareció. Estuve sola. No entendí las palabras pero supe que el sacerdote entendria. Sabía también que la Señora amaba el sacerdote. Dejando mi vela en la gruta, me fui directamente al Padre Peyramale, diciendo el nombre de la Senora a mí mismo en lo largo del camino. Padre me estaba esperando. Me incliné y le dijo: "Yo soy la Inmaculada Concepción". Al ver su sorpresa, me explicó, "la Señora dijo:" Yo soy Inmaculada Concepción ". La Santísima Virgen no dijo: "Yo soy el que fue concebido inmaculadatamente", sino "Yo soy Inmaculada Concepción." Esta poco comun declaración es una declaración del Cielo sobre la personalidad esencial de todo ser humano desde el momento de la concepción antes de ser nacido. Dios crea cada nueva vida humana inmediatamente como persona. En otras palabras, una nueva vida humana nunca está en existencia sin siempre serla una persona. Un recién concebido es inmediatamente una alma immortal y intelectual. Si esta persona muera un instante después de ser concebido, su alma inmediatamente compareceria ante su Creador, y esta persona recibirá su recompensa eterna. Recordemos este año a orar por cada niño no nacido que Dios ha creado. También oremos por cada madre y padre a respetar los deseos de Dios y permitir que el niño que acaba de ser creado viva la vida que Dios quiere para este niño. Además, los padres se dan cuenta constantemente que Dios les dio a sus niños por el proposito de educarlos en la fe y en la práctica de la fe para que ellos recibirian el lugar en el Cielo que Él ha preparado para ellos por toda la eternidad. Nuestra Señora de Lourdes, ruega por nosotros, los padres católicos, a enseñar a nuestros hijos las verdades de la Fe, para que sean fieles en la prác-tica de la Fe y alcancen la felicidad eterna con nosotros y con Te Nuestra Santísima Madre.
