The purpose of the Salvatorian is to strengthen, to defend and to spread the Catholic faith everywhere insofar as this is committed to it by Divine Providence. Therefore, by exercising this ecclesiastical teaching function in word and writing, it intends to achieve the end that all people might know more and more the one true God and Him whom He sent, Jesus Christ.

31 lipiec Świętego Ignacego Loyoli Najbardziej znaną modlitwą, jaką napisał św. Ignacy est: „Zabierz, Panie, i przyjmij całą wolność moją, pa-mięć moją i rozum, i wolę mą całą, cokolwiek mam i posiadam. Ty mi to wszystko dałeś – Tobie to, Panie oddaję. Twoje jest wszystko. Rozporzą-dzaj tym w pełni wedle swojej woli. Daj mi jedynie miłość Twą i łaskę, albowiem to mi wystarcza. Amen”

4 sierpień Świętego Jana Vianneya „O, jak to pięknie, gdy się rzecz każdą czyni z Bo-giem!… Jeśli pracujesz z Bogiem, On pracę twą pobłogosławi, On nawet uświęca wszystkie kroki twoje. Wszystko będzie policzone: każde umar-twienie wzroku, każde odmówienie sobie jakiejś przyjemności – wszystko będzie zapisane. A więc, duszo moja, każdego ranka składaj się Bo-gu w ofierze”.

August 4 Saint John Vianney’s Story

A man with vision overcomes obstacles and per-forms deeds that seem impossible. John Vianney was a man with vision: He wanted to become a priest. But he had to overcome his meager formal schooling, which inadequately prepared him for seminary studies. His failure to comprehend Latin lectures forced him to discontinue. But his vision of being a priest urged him to seek private tutoring. After a lengthy battle with the books, John was ordained. Situations calling for “impossible” deeds followed him everywhere. As pastor of the parish at Ars, John encountered people who were indifferent and quite comfortable with their style of living. His vi-sion led him through severe fasts and short nights of sleep. With Catherine Lassagne and Benedicta Lardet, he established La Providence, a home for girls. Only a man of vision could have such trust that God would provide for the spiritual and material needs of all those who came to make La Providence their home. His work as a confessor is John Vianney’s most remarkable accomplishment. In the winter months he was to spend 11 to 12 hours daily reconciling people with God. In the summer months this time was increased to 16 hours. Unless a man was dedi-cated to his vision of a priestly vocation, he could not have endured this giving of self day after day. Many people look forward to retirement and taking it easy, doing the things they always wanted to do but never had the time. But John Vianney had no thoughts of retirement. As his fame spread, more hours were consumed in serving God’s people. Even the few hours he would allow himself for sle-ep were disturbed frequently by the devil. Who, but a man with vision, could keep going with ever-increasing strength? In 1929, Pope Pius XI named him the patron of parish priests worldwide. Reflection: Indifference toward religion, cou-pled with a love for material comfort, seem to be common signs of our times. A person from another planet observing us would not likely judge us to be pilgrim people, on our way to somewhere else. John Vianney on the other hand, was a man on a journey, with his goal before him at all times.

WAKACJE OD PANA BOGA…?

Nie zapominajmy o codziennej modlitwie porannej i wieczornej. Pamiętajmy o niedzielnej Mszy św. Ona powinna być "sercem każdej niedzieli", także tej na wczasach i wakacjach. Chętnie i często wstępujmy do świątyni, bo duszy potrzebne jest wyciszenie i

oderwanie się od gwaru ulicy. Zwiedzanie obiektów sakralnych podczas pieszych wędrówek czy wycie-czek, to nie tylko obcowanie z Dobrem i Pięknym,

ale także przeżywanie obecności Bożej.

Tak przeżywane wakacje sprawią, że wrócimy z nich nie tylko wypoczęci, ale i bardziej szczęśliwi.

5 Agosto (Domenica) La Festa in onore di Maria Santissima

delle Grazie

Questa festa viene celebrate la prima Domenica di Agosto, nel piccolo paesino di “Arena”, che si trova tra due fiumi sulle colline delle Serre in Calabria. Questa festa che da migliaia di genera-zioni e’ rimasta nei cuori degli Arenesi emigrati in terre straniere. Anche se lontani dal loro paese natio gli oriundi Arenesi ora stability a Bayonne, hanno sempre ricordato con cuore Fedele e sem-pre sotto la protezione di Maria Santissima delle Grazie. Che cos’è la festa? È un atto celebrativo co-munitario, momento essenziale dell'esistenza umana, prodotto dalla civiltà. Essa rivela un popolo, un'epoca, una cultura di fede. in se stessa la fede non è mai un episodio. Qual è il significa-to delle feste religiose? Esse esprimono, nell’an-no, la fede antica radicata nelle nostre popolazio-ni; sono incontri di preghiera e di ascolto della parola di Dio; sono occasione per rinsaldare i vincoli propri del popolo di Dio che vive nella storia. Come ritrovarsi insieme nella gioia della fede e dell'appartenenza ad una comunità che condivide speranze, sofferenze e impegni. Per questo le feste sono celebrazione solenne della fraternità dei figli di Dio e servono come presentazione della Chiesa di Cristo, famiglia dei figli di Dio, che fa fiorire la santità e la comun-ione fraterna in un mondo segnato dal peccato, dall’odio e dalla divisione. Esse non possono tradire il compito di essere offerta di evange-lizzazione per tutti e invito ai lontani a ritornare a vivere con Cristo nella Chiesa. Le feste rivelano la loro autenticità, quando diventano momenti di crescita nella carità e occasione per far risplen-dere, con le opere, l’amore che vince tutto. "Se ben orientata, questa religiosità popolare può es-sere sempre più, per le nostre masse popolari, un vero incontro con Dio in Gesù Cristo" (B. Paolo VI). “E’ necessario tornare a far festa". "Festa è letizia, volontà di stare insieme, gioia di par-larsi e di prolungare l’incontro, è convivialità, è condivisione, è riposo, è anche senso di di-vertimento. Tutto ciò è autentico quando si radica nella gioia cristiana". Celebriamo le nostre feste insieme come

una sola comunita!!!

Summer attire for church. I am asked sometimes about appropriate attire for Mass during the hot days of summer. Certainly, coming to worship God is not like going to the

pool. Also, unfortunately, respect for “place” and “event” seems to be vanishing from our American

life. However, it is too hot for “Formal wear.” One would be “safe” in following the directives for visiting the major churches in Rome. For men and women: Shorts (or skirts) that reach the knee.

Shoulders covered. Not too difficult! Fr Zenon SDS
