This week let’s pray for COUNSEL
MOTHER MOST AMIABLE, PRAY THAT WE RECEIVE THE GIFT OF COUNSEL!
THE GIFT OF COUNSEL
The Gift of Counsel is one of the special gifts of the Holy Spirit; it perfects the virtue of prudence. Its function is to enable a person to judge promptly and rightly, as by a sort of supernatural intuition, what should be done, especially in difficult situations. With the gift of counsel, the Holy Spirit speaks, as it were, to the heart and in an instant enlightens a person what to do. It corresponds to the promise made by Christ to his followers, "When they hand you over, do not worry about how to speak or what to say; what you are to say will be given to you when the time comes; because it is not you who will be speaking; the Spirit of your Father will be speaking in you" (Mt 10:19). Counsel refers primarily to prudent conduct in one's own case, and only secondarily in favor of others. Enlightened by the Spirit, a person learns what to do in a specific case and what advice to give when consulted or command to make if he is in authority. (Fr. John Hardon, Modern Catholic Dictionary)
GOD'S WORD
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." (Psalm 119:105)
"For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot." (Romans 8:7)
"The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned." (1 Corinthians 2:14)
"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some-one to devour." (1 Peter 5:8)
HEROES' WORDS
"Of all human activities, man's listening to God is the supreme act of his reasoning and will." -Pope Paul VI
"Listen and attend with the ear of your heart." -St. Benedict

EASTER ARTWORK EXHIBITION AND SALE
Our parishioner, Nick DiLillo, will be exhibiting and selling his Easter artwork the
weekend of March 17th and 18th after all Masses in the lower level of the Church.
His artwork promises to delight your eyes and inspire your soul for Easter.
Rachunek sumienia cz. 1
1. „Nie będziesz miał bogów cudzych obok mnie” Bóg jest Panem świata. Jedynym, który może dać mi życie wieczne. Czy w swoim życiu stawiam Boga na pierwszym miejscu? A może zamiast Boga prawdziwego czczę innego bożka? Może pieniądz? Przyjemność? Władzę? Naukę? A może samego siebie? Czy znajduję czas na modlitwę? Czy słucham, co Bóg ma mi do powiedzenia, czytając Jego słowo? Czy potrafię dla Boga złożyć ofiarę? W imię miłości bliźniego dać jałmużnę, w dobrej sprawie albo szanując prawo Kościoła podjąć post? Czy zgadzam się na wole Bożą? Na ile staram się pogłębiać swoja wiarę, by była jak najbardziej rozumna i wolna od wątpliwości? Czy ufam w Bożą dobroć? Czy przypadkiem nie popadam w rozpacz co do możliwości własnego zbawienia? Albo, odwrotnie, czy zbyt zuchwale w nie wierząc, nie nadużywam Bożego miłosierdzia? Czy jestem Bogu wdzięczny za wszystko co mi dał? A może głównie mam do Niego pretensje, ze wszystko jest nie po mojej myśli? Czy szanuję tych, którzy nie wierzą tak jak ja? Czy przypadkiem nie oddaję się wróżbiarstwu, magii albo czarom? Chodzę do wróżki? Noszę amulety? 2. ”Pamiętaj, by dzień święty święcić” Bogu niedziela nie jest potrzebna. Dał ją nam, byśmy w troskach codzienności znaleźli czas dla siebie, swoich bliź-nich i także dla Niego. Byśmy nie zapomnieli radosnego świętowania. Czy w niedziele i inne święta pamiętam o świętowaniu? A może narzekam, że znów przyszedł dzień, w którym nie wolno mi pracować i muszę iść do Kościoła? Czy powstrzymuję się od podejmowania w niedzielę i święta od zajęć, które przeszkadzają oddawaniu Bogu należ-nej czci, nie pozwalają radośnie jej przeżywać, służyć w tym dniu innym lub po prostu odpocząć? Czy zmuszony okolicznościami do pracy w niedzielę znajduję czas na odpoczynek w innym dniu? Czy swoim zachowaniem nie przeszkadzam innym w niedzielnym świętowaniu (głośne prace domowe, wyprawy do supermarketów)? Na ile staram się ten dzień, zgodnie z chrześcijańską tradycją, przeznaczyć niedzielę i święta na posługę wobec chorych, kalekich i starszych? Ile czasu znajduję w niedzielę na pielęgnowanie więzi rodzinnych i koleżeńskich? Ile czasu w niedzielę poświęcam dla siebie (książka, dobry film, sport, godziwa rozrywka, hobby)?
