SEEDS OF FAITH
There is a brevity, a certain terseness, in the scripture readings for Easter
Sunday. Peter’s speech in Acts is built of direct, pointed sentences. Paul’s letters
are based on straightforward creed-like statements. Even the Gospel story only
briefly recounts what will turn out to be one of the most remarkable events in
human history—the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Advertising agents call
these encapsulated points of information “bullet points.” Scripture scholars call
them kerygma, or “kernels” of our faith. Actually, “kernels” or “seeds” are good
terms for these statements, since throughout the Easter season, we will hear in
the Acts of the Apostles, the Letters of Paul and the Gospel accounts of the days
following the Resurrection, exactly how these kerygma began to flower, how
they continued to grow through the life of the early church. May these Easter “seeds” of faith serve
a similar purpose for us, too, so that the life of the Risen Christ will flourish in us and through our
witness in the coming days. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
 FROM FATHER RICH
“I am the Resurrection and the life,
whoever believes in me will live.
Do you believe this? (John 11:26)
We are celebrating Easter, the time to proclaim to the whole world
our faith in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter is a gift of the Risen
Christ, who shares with us the joy of His Resurrection and gives us hope
for eternal life. May the joyful Alleluia coming from our hearts reach
every corner of the world and bring the good news of peace and
love. May this Easter unite us with Christ and His Church, which pro-
claim entirely the good news of the Resurrection.
The Resurrection of Jesus gives the whole world a new perspective. The key to open the Tomb
of Jesus and all the graves in the world is having faith in the Resurrection. On this special occasion
of Easter, I want to wish and share this faith with you. I pray that the Risen Lord may deepen and
strengthen the faith of our parish family.
I wish and pray that your family, under Christ’s guidance, may rise from any difficulties and res-
urrect to life in deeper faith, unity and love. I would like to wish each one of you this individual res-
urrection, this joy and motivation to life, which only Christ can give us.
In the Name of the Risen Lord, I would like to ask you to remember His Church in which He lives
and continues His work of salvation. Please do not forget St. Albert the Great Church, which pro-
claims the Risen Christ and through the Holy Sacraments heals, strengthens and saves. May the
Risen Christ reward you and bless you for your generosity and dedication to His Church.

Thoughts on Giving FEAST OF FAITH

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek
what is above, where Christ is seated at the
right hand of God. Think of what is above,
not of what is on earth." - Colossians 3:1-2
Easter is a good time to recommit our-
selves to a simpler lifestyle – concentrating
more of our efforts on what God wants
from us and less of our efforts on what we
want for ourselves. Jesus sacrificed every-
thing for us. What can we sacrifice, not just
at Lent, but every day,

The Eucharist: Food for Resurrection
How do we celebrate Easter, the greatest of our
Christian feasts? By doing what we do every Sunday
and every day: celebrating the Mass. On the first
Easter, as the heartbroken disciples walked the road
to Emmaus, the Lord was with them but they did not
realize it. They only recognized him “in the breaking
of the bread” (Luke 22:35).
It is the same for us. In the Mass—the breaking
of the bread—we meet the risen Lord together. We
meet him in each other—for by our baptism into his
death and resurrection, we have become members
of one body, the Body of Christ. We meet him in his
word—in the liturgy the scriptures are proclaimed
to us, that they might take root and grow in us. And
we meet him in a special way in the Eucharist, the
sacrament of his Body and Blood, which is food for
resurrection: “whoever eats this bread will live for-
ever” (John 6:51). The Lord is risen indeed, and it is
the Risen One who truly presides at this and every
Eucharist. —Corinna Laughlin, © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

 OD KS. RYSZARDA

“Ja jestem Zmartwychwstaniem i życiem.

Kto wierzy we mnie, żyć będzie na wieki.
Wierzysz w to?” ( Jan 11:26)
Każde Święta Wielkanocne są kolejnym dowodem Zmartwychwstania
Chrystusa, a dla nas szansą na ponowne wyznanie naszej wiary w Jego
Zmartwychwstanie. Święta te są świętami wiary, nadziei i miłości. Niech
z głębi naszych serc popłynie radosne Alleluja i dotrze do wszystkich
zakątków zagubionego w chaosie zła i nienawiści świata. Niech
zmartwychwstanie przyniesie pokój i miłość a te Święta zjednoczą nas z Chrystusem i Kościołem,
który nieustannie i niestrudzenie głosi orędzie Zmartwychwstania.
Zmartwychwstanie Chrystusa nadaje nowy wymiar światu i ludzkości, każdej rodzinie
i każdemu z nas. Kluczem do otwarcia Grobu Chrystusa i wszystkich grobów świata jest wiara w
Zmartwychwstanie. Tą wiarą pragnę się z wami dzielić i tej wiary pragnę wam życzyć. Proszę
Chrystusa, aby pogłębił i umocnił wiarę naszej wspólnoty parafialnej.
Życzę Wam aby rodzina wasza pod przewodem Chrystusa powstała z wszelkich trudności i
zmartwychwstała do życia w głębszej wierze, jedności i miłości. Życzę każdemu z was tego
indywidualnego zmartwychwstania, tej radości i motywacji do życia, którą tylko Chrystus dać
może.
Proszę was w imieniu Jezusa Chrystusa Zmartwychwstałego, abyście pamiętali o Jego Kościele,
w którym On nieustannie żyje i działa. Proszę was nie zapominajcie o kościele Św. Alberta, który
głosi Chrystusa Zmartwychwstałego i poprzez sakramenty święte nadal uzdrawia, umacnia i
zbawia. Niech Chrystus Zmartwychwstały wynagrodzi wam waszą hojność i poświęcenie dla Jego
kościoła i niech wam stokrotnie błogosławi.
Szczęść Boże, Ks. Ryszard

Wesołych Świąt
Z wyrazami wdzięczności.
Człowiek współczesny zatroskany o dom i rodzinę potrzebuje chwili zatrzymania i zadumy, aby
zauważyć potrzeby innych. Potrzebuje też chwili wyciszenia, aby zobaczyć siebie, swoje życie w
kontekście Zbawienia. Z takim przykładem wyciszenia i zatrzymania się nad sobą spotkaliśmy się
podczas tegorocznych Rekolekcji Wielkopostnych w Waszej Wspólnocie Parafialnej.
Pragnę serdecznie podziękować Wam wszystkim, na czele z Kapłanami za zasłuchanie się w
Słowo Boże i wspólną modlitwę. Bóg zapłać za wszelkie wyrazy Waszej życzliwości względem mnie
i moich parafian ze Skolego na Ukrainie. Dziękuję za złożone przez Was ofiary na rozbudowę Domu
Rekolekcyjnego, w którym dożywiane są dzieci z rodzin potrzebujących pomocy. Serdeczne Bóg
zapłać za ofiary na intencje Mszalne.
Z mojej strony jeszcze raz zapewniam o mojej i moich parafian pamięci w modlitwie a na
nadchodzące Święta Zmartwychwstania Pańskiego składam życzenia wielu Bożych Łask płynących
z „Pustego Grobu” Chrystusa Pana. Niech przeżywanie Świąt napełnia Was prawdziwą
chrześcijańską radością ze spotkania ze Zmartwychwstałym oraz bliskimi sobie osobami.
Szczęść Boże! Ks. Marek Wójcik
