PASTORAL MESSAGE Pastoral Message Are We Part of the Nine Today’s Gospel story about the healing of 10 lepers ends with Jesus asking, “Where are the other nine?” Only one leper returned to offer his gratitude. Failure to say “Thank you” deprives us of even deeper blessings. Consider the many children who fail to thank grandparents for the generous check they tuck into a card on a special occasion. They may be missing out on a chance to know their own grandparents more deeply. One clever grandmother upped the ante. “This year all my grandchildren came over in person to thank me,” she boasted to a friend. “How did you ever do that?” the friend asked. The grandmother triumphantly replied, “This year I didn’t sign their checks.” Jesus healed ten lepers (today known as Hansen’s disease) an uncomfortable skin disorder. Yet, Jesus is disappointed that only one of the ten came back to give thanks. This one was a Samaritan, a foreigner, and fiercely-hated enemy of the Jews. Today, we are confronted with a term and practice known as “politically correct” - a term appropriated by the so-called New Left around 1970 to express a certain satirical self-criticism. Gradually, the term “political correctness” became an umbrella term for all manner of expressions. For example, it came to be considered more correct to refer to African-Americans rather than “black” or “Negro” people. “Native American” replaced “Indian”; “firefighter” and “postal carrier” replaced “fireman” and “mailman.” Descriptions of disabled persons also changed: the blind became the “visually challenged.” Short persons have come to be known as “vertically challenged,” and the prematurely bald as “follically challenged.” “Political correctness” has fostered inclusive and neutral language, and has tried to eradicate potentially offensive terms, with mixed results regarding the value and application of these terms. Now… to today’s gospel. Jesus was determined to ignore artificial barriers that separated people. He set aside the rules of political correctness that kept foreigners, sinners and the diseased at a distance from most people. Through his interaction with and healing of all ten lepers, Jesus illustrated the universal concern of God and the inclusiveness of the divine plan of salvation. It is also interesting to note the welcome Jesus received from foreigners and sinners, as compared to the way the hierarchy of the Jewish community continued to refuse his outreach and his teachings. The healing of the ten lepers shows that God’s mercies were extended to all, and that they were unconditional in regard to gender, ethnicity or unworthiness. All, without exception, were healed. How many “lepers” are there in my life right now? Why do we exclude others because they “are different” from us—in their life style, customs, culture, religious practices, dietary rules, color of skin, etc.? In the time of Jesus and before, the “sick mentality” that existed, considered all persons with physical disability to be sinners, punished by God, and doomed to hell forever. Are we still of the same mentality? It’s somewhat silly for us sinners to condemn other sinners, isn’t it? We should not exclude others—lest we be excluded by God— who is the Creator...the origin and destiny...of every human being! Got it???? Always be grateful to God!! Fr. Len
January Stycznia 20102010 OCTOBER 103PAŹDZIERNIKA 40 dni dla życia To moja pierwsza refleksja w biuletynie po długiej, około 3m i e s i ę c z n e j p r z e r wi e . D z i s i a j postanowiłem napisać o czymś, co jest bardzo ważne dla mnie, tzn. o obronie życia dzieci nienarodzonych. O północy z 21 na 22 września zaczęła się kolejna akcja „40 dni dla życia”. Dowiedziałem się o niej czytając blog na Frondzie mojego przyjaciela, kierowcy ciężarówki z Charlotte, w Północnej Karolinie - Piotra Jaskierni. Kto czyta tygodnik „ Niedziela”, ten mógł przeczytać wywiad z nim w numerze z 19go września. Wywiad był w Dodatku Małopolskim. Piotr powiedział mi, że za kilka tygodni będzie świadectwo jego nawrócenia. Na blogu jest krótka informacja o jego autorze. Mój przyjaciel pisze o sobie, że „na swojej drodze spotkał Boga i nie może przestać mówić o Nim”. A oto, co 19 września napisał on na temat wspomnianej w tytule akcji: Jest to już akcja o zasięgu światowym, biorą w niej oficjalnie udział osoby ze Stanów Zjednoczonych, Kanady, Australii, Danii, Anglii i Irlandii Północnej. A ja piszę o tej akcji dlatego, że mam nadzieję, że nieoficjalnie przyłączy się do niej wiele innych osób na całym świecie. Celem akcji, która trwa już od 2007 roku jest zdelegalizowanie aborcji na całym świecie. W czasie poprzednich sześciu kampanii (początkowo miały one miejsce tylko jesienią, teraz są także w okresie Wielkiego Postu) zmobilizowano ponad 350 tysięcy osób w 307 miastach w każdym z amerykańskich stanów, w sześciu kanadyjskich prowincjach, trzech australijskich stanach, w Północnej Irlandii i Danii. Ponad 11 500 parafii wzięło w niej udział i 1811 nienarodzonych dzieci zostało uratowanych przed zabójstwem. I to tylko tych, o których wiadomo organizatorom. Ile kobiet postanowiło urodzić nie informując nikogo związanego z tą akcją – wie tylko Bóg. Dodatkowo 35 osób pracujących w klinikach aborcyjnych wypowiedziało pracę, pięć takich placówek zamknęło swoje podwoje bezpośrednio po akcji, ponad 850 artykułów napisali o niej dziennikarze w lokalnych gazetach, nagrali audycji radiowych i programów telewizyjnych… Akcja ta dała nam coś jeszcze. Dała nam nadzieję, że aborcja, jak wcześniej niewolnictwo, zniknie z cywilizowanego świata i stanie się czymś niewyobrażalnym. Piotr udziela się aktywnie we wspomnianej akcji. Pewnie z różnych względów nie jest to możliwe dla nas wszystkich, uczestniczyć w tej akcji osobiście. Ale myślę, że nie możemy pozostać wobec niej obojętni, bo nie może być dla nas obojętny los dzieci zabijanych w czasie aborcji. Możemy i powinniśmy modlić się w tej intencji, ofiarować post i inne drobne umartwienia, aby nie było ani jednego dziecka poczętego, któremu nie będzie dane się urodzić. Właśnie zaczęliśmy październik. W naszym kościele mamy Różaniec tylko w niedzielę, przed polską Mszą św. Niestety, nie mamy nabożeństw różańcowych we wszystkie dni tego miesiąca, jak to mamy w większości kościołów w Polsce. Jednak nich nie stoi na przeszkodzie, aby odmawiać tę modlitwę prywatnie, i ofiarować za tych, którzy sami nie mogą się bronić. o. Placyd
