Live the Liturgy—Inspiration for the Week As human beings, we desire to find happiness. This desire is so strong that we often go to

great lengths to discover and obtain it. Unfortunately, our search sometimes brings us to the wrong

places. We mistakenly think that money, certain possessions, social status, popularity, and even

power and control can satisfy the longing that exists in our hearts. Time and again, one after

another, these things come up empty and we find ourselves with the same unfulfilled longing

gnawing at us deep within. It is only the Kingdom of God that can satisfy our desire and that ache.

We are made and hardwired for this. When we discover it, we know that we have found something

very special--a pearl of great price. Then, everything comes together and is put in proper order: our

relationship with God, others, ourselves, and even the universe in which we live.

Gospel Meditation

Encourage Deeper Understanding of Scripture

17th Sunday in Ordinary Time "When he finds a pearl of great price,

he goes and sells all that he has and buys it."

Jesus today gives us the image of a merchant who knows he

has discovered a great treasure. In fact, its value is so tremendous

that the man is willing to sell EVERYTHING else in order to

possess it. Why? Because he knows it will all be worth it. He

knows that the pearl will bring him more reward than anything

else he has ever owned, more even than all his possessions

combined.

This Gospel story is meant to help us understand the

unfathomable value of the Kingdom of Heaven. Nothing else can

compare to it. No material item, no honor or success, can compete

with this pearl of great price. Everything we have, short of this, is

FINITE: limited, temporary, and ultimately fleeting. Eternal

happiness, on the other hand, is INFINITE. It never ends. This is

the deep contentment, the satisfaction, the peace, and happiness

that we crave, the kind that doesn't disappoint.

As Christians, we have "found" the treasure beyond all other

treasures! Life in Christ, both now and in Heaven, is truly the

pearl of great price. Are we ready to put Christ first in our lives?

All of us need to take pause from time to time and examine our

attachments and priorities. But the message is loud and clear

today: the kingdom of heaven is the true treasure we long for.

Zapraszamy na Parafialny Festiwal 5-6 Sierpnia

Sobota: 3:00 –10:00 wieczorem

Prosimy kupować bilety na Festiwalową

Loterię!

XVII Niedziela Zwykła Królestwo Boże jest tak wielkim skarbem, że dla niego

warto się wyrzec wszystkiego, co ofiaruje doczesny świat. Bóg w

swojej odwiecznej miłości przeznaczył nas i powołał do tego

Królestwa. Aby je osiągnąć, trzeba kierować się chrześcijańską

mądrością, która swe Źródło ma w Bogu. Prośmy więc o nią, jak

król Salomon modlił się o dar serca pełnego mądrości.

Królestwo niebieskie podobne jest do kupca, poszukującego

pięknych pereł. Gdy znalazl drogocenną perłę, sprzedał wszystko

co miał, by ją kupić. Nie był to zwykły kupiec, to poszukiwacz

pereł; można powiedzieć: doświadczony kolekcjoner, wrażliwy

na prawdziwe piękno, znający wartość życia.

„[...] Życie to taki dziwny prezent. Na początku się je

przecenia: sądzi się, że dostało się życie wieczne. Potem się go

nie docenia, uważa się, że jest do chrzanu, za krótkie, chciałoby

się niemal je odrzucić. W końcu kojarzy się, że to nie był prezent,

ale jedynie pożyczka i próbuje się na nie zasłużyć”.

Please Pray for . . . Please pray for all those in hospitals, who are ill or

recovering from surgery, and all those ailing at home, in hospice

or in nursing homes.

Please keep in your prayers: Linda Adams, Phyllis

Adamski, Marylu Balacki, Ruth Banaszak, Arlene Bialaszewski,

would like Fr. Roman to visit and/or administer the Sacrament of

Healing, please call the rectory.

Zapraszamy na 2017 Parafialny Festiwal ! Parafialny Festiwal jest w tym tygodniu 4-go i 5-go sierpnia

(Piątek i Sobota). Zapraszamy wszystkich parafian, rodziny i

znajomych na nasz doroczny Polski Festiwal. Festiwal wspomaga

naszą Parafię finansowo, a także daje nam wszystkim wspaniałą

okazję do spotkania się z rodzinami i przyjaciółmi raz w roku.

Nadal zwracamy się o pomoc w przygotowaniu festiwalu,

prowadzeniu, pomocy w kuchni w tygodniu festiwalu, donacji do

Cake Booth, sprzedawaniu loterii a także w sprzątaniu po

festiwalu w Niedzielę. Jeżeli możecie poświęcić przynajmniej

dwie godziny – będziemy bardzo wdzięczni. Prosimy o pomoc w

pieczeniu chruścików i przy wydawaniu polskiego jedzenia, a

także upieczeniu ciast.

Prosimy o modlitwę o ładną pogodę i udany festiwal.

Komitet Festiwalowy pracuje bardzo ciężko, aby tegoroczny

festiwal był udany. Dziękujemy za pomoc i zrozumienie.

Do Zobaczenia!

Help in Prayer Can’t find the right words? There may be a block of some kind.

Or perhaps what is going on in our spirit is beyond the power of

our words. Sometimes we may know what we ought to pray, like

God’s help in forgiving, but we just aren’t ready to let go yet.

Regardless the cause, when we desire to pray but struggle, we

have an incredible advocate and helper in the Holy Spirit. Tap

into that help. Invite the Holy Spirit to pray with you, to intercede

for you, and to lead you to peace, even if you can’t explain how it

came about.
