Give them right to love you (for all who suffer)

The effective exercise of a right
springing not from the individual who possesses it, but
from other men who consider themselves as being under a
certain obligation towards him

Simone Weil

Above-cited, famous words of Simone Weil, the influential French philosopher of the 20th century, can be found in her book entitled "Needs for Root"(Paris, 1949). Weil, a gnostic, who wanted to know God gives us here some interesting, yet not fully developed model for dealing with virtually any social problem of our times:

Yes, there would not be a single suicide, abortion, euthanasia or unjust war in our world if all people recognized their obligations toward each other.

But here is something else to figure out:

What are said obligations, and where to find them? No philosopher can tell you this - only God , the One Who gave you The Ten Commandments, will.

Knowing this - no matter how sad you may be right now - do not give up your hope: seek and love Him and His creatures... For love is a right of Creator and us all - the one that only you, the remarkable co-operator with God, may make effective in perhaps small, yet still important scale.

Prośba(PL)

(Dla Norwegii i wszystkich cierpiących)

Jezu, moje cierpienia do Twego Krzyża włącz
Choć nie brak Mu niczego i jest On doskonały-
Nie chcę dodawać ciężaru już Mu,
Lecz Tobie bólu odjąć i żyć dla Twojej chwały

Łzę moją, z Twymi łzami proszę łącz
Niech wiem, żeś Ty, Panie płakał w Życiu więcej:
Wtedy każdą z moich łez,
Łatwiej będzie koić Twe, najdroższy Jezu Serce

I Dłoń podawaj przebitą gwoździami,
By moje dłonie zawsze otwate
Na świat i Twoją Miłość były
Niosąc czułość i dobroć ofiarnie

Be a man...For all seasons

Perhaps you can have a good time with drugs, sex, and rock and roll today. The king of this world is inviting you to have fun with him for a season or two, and his offer seems to be very attractive.

If you are tempted to choose his offer think of St Thomas More(1478-1535) - he had his choices to made, too. Learn from this philosopher, statesman, and martyr, how to - by following the example of Christ - one can become a real man for all seasons.

Then - by following a fine example given to you by More - enjoy all the spledid moments of your life, spend them close to Jesus, and remember: your Lord is beside you no matter whether you are experiencing the joy of Heaven or the part of His Cross right now.

PS. Please pray for me.

Echa Lourdes(PL)

Modlitwa różańcowa ma wielu przeciwników- często mówi się o niej, jako o "staromodnym klepaniu", "nudzie", "mantrach bez końca"( nota bene- gdy modli się Wyznawca religii Wschodu, wielu jest pod wrażeniem, mało kto krytykuje Jego prawdziwie mantryczny sposob modlitwy).

Tymczasem Różaniec św. jest po to, byśmy miast buddyjskiego opróżnienia serc, doświadczyli napełnienia ich odnawialną Nadzieją, która w chwilach buntu i zwątpienia, pozwoli docenić to, co uczynił dla nas Jezus i przypominać sobie oraz ukochać słowa Maryi, wypowiedziane w kierunku Bernadety w Lourdes: "Nie obiecuję Ci szczęścia w tym życiu, ale w przyszłym...".Ufajmy i zabiegajmy o to, by słowa Matki znalazły swe dopełnienie z chwilą, gdy nareszcie w nie uwierzymy i znajdziemy się z Jej Synem i Nią w Niebie.

Towarzysz (Droga krzyżowa)

Dedykuję D.Sz.

Droga ta kilkoma znaczona krzyżami
Nie jest łatwa, choć przecież Jedyna
Idąc nią czasem płaczę, upadam chwilami

Wtedy najczęściej pokusą jest trwoga
Lecz gdy pragnę się poddać i głowę opuszczam --
Odkrywam ślady wcielonego Boga.

Do not forget

Why is our full participation in the Holy Mass so important?

Jesus himself tells us that we all should eat His holy Body in the remembrance of Him and His Life:
that's why whenever someone does the opposite - not only he or she breaches the III Commandment of God -
such person proclaims the death of Christ as well...

...The One whose only mission is to resurrect and live in and for EVERY human heart.

PS.PRAY FOR ME,PLEASE!

You can't have one...

There are two realities that must not be seen separately by any Catholic: these are Christ's holy Life, and His holy Cross.

"Cross without Christ" is a mere absurdity - if you had implemented such concept then you life would have been pointless. Only disapointments, pain, death...

No more sense get we be seeing Jesus without His Cross, since we all know that "no cross means no crown of our Salvation".

Life of Christ has been spanned between pain of His earthly Life and joy of heaven to remind us all that He is both God and human...All of that have a great meaning for us, who He loves so much, since His human nature makes our suffering bearable, and His divinity makes it worth of bearing.
