VAŽNOST BRAKA I DJEVIČANSTVA

Nije samo jedna Kristova riječ - ona u euharistiji - tvrda besjeda, tvrd govor, kako je onomade okrstiše Židovi. Među takve tvrde riječi, neshvatljive i osporavane, svakako spada i Kristov nauk - pa dosljedno i nauk Crkve - o ženidbi i djevičanstvu. Ali i za te riječi Isusove vrijedi izjava sv. Petra: "Gospodine, kome drugome da idemo? Ti jedini imaš riječi života vječnoga." (Iv 6, 68). Ne znači da se takva nauka mora shvatiti od prve, bez integracije u cjelokupnu Isusovu objavu. Stoga je, uz ostalo, razumljivo zašto suVremena Crkva pretpostavlja - te sve više to stavlja kao i zahtijev - da budući mladi supružnici, dok sazrijevaju u svojoj ljudskoj i zaručničkoj ljubavi, sazrijevaju i u svojoj kršćanskoj vjeri. I to kao u misaonoj cjelini, ali nadasve - kao u sakramentalnom suživotu s Kristom. Doista, bez suživota s Kristom, baš euharistijskoga, nije moguće provoditi istinski ni kršćansku ženidbu, ni kršćansko djevičanstvo. Uostalom, to vrijedi za sve oblike i načine kršćnske egzistencije. Današnja nedjelja želi da se s Kristom što bolje sumislimo, pa da tješnje s njime i sakramentalno suživimo, te onda u svojoj lepezi ljudske egzistencije doista kršćanski - kao suradnici Božji - zaživimo svoje izabrano životno stanje, ili ženidbu ili djevičanstvo. Putujuća Crkva u svojim sakramentima i ustanovama koje spadaju u ovo vrijeme nosi prolazni lik ovoga svijeta. (Usp. GS 39). U tom se sklopu prolaznim vrednotama smatraju i sakramenti, crkvena služba. Sve je to potrebno ovdje, a svrsihodno za onaj svijet, ali ipak privremeno. Tako Isus glatko rješava prvu saducejsku teškoću. Ne mjerite onaj svijet ovim, a upregnite se da vrednujete ovaj onim.

OBAVIJEST ZA PRVU SVETU PRIČEST

! Poznato nam je da djeca nekih naših župljana, koja su ove godine za Prvu Pričest, idu u druge katoličke skole i da imaju Prvu sv. Pričest sa svojim razredom. Bilo bi nam drago da se, na dan Prve sv. Pričesti, u nasoj hrvatskoj crkvi i zupi pridruze nasim prvopričesnicima i ovaj lijepi i važni dogadjaj u svom životu i u zivotu nase zupne zajednice na taj nacin zajedno i proslave. Ako netko zeli da njegovo dijete dozivi svecanost Prve sv. Pricesti s ostalom hrvatskom djecom bilo bi dobro da nam to na vrijeme javite.

! Svakog četvrtka u našoj crkvi održava se klanjanje. Trenuci molitve, tišine, klanjanja i zahvale Gospodinu. U ugodnoj atmosferi crkve, njenog prostora i mira, dođite i odmorite dušu pred Gospodinom.

! Ako niste prijavljeni u župi kao župljani, molimo vas da to učinite što prije. Isto tako ako Vaši mladi bračni parovi nisu upisani u župu, molimo da to naprave prije početka slijedećeg mjeseca kada ćemo podijeliti nove crkvene omotnice.

VUKOVAR - SLIJEDEĆE NEDJELJE u 2 sata poslijepodne obilježava se 10. obljetnica patnje i slobode Vukovara (auditorijum Healy School) Molimo Vas računajte na ovaj datum. Bit će to multimedijska prezentacija sjećanja na prošlost, patnju, sadašnjost i nadu tog našeg herojskog grada .

! Misa je sveto vrijeme, a crkva sveto mjesto našeg okupljanja

Pod svetom misom doživljavamo susret s našim Gospodinom i primamo njegovo tijelo i krv kao duhovnu hranu. Stoga, cijelu misu trebamo biti i mislima i srcem okrenuti prema Gospodinu. A to znači, da za vrijeme svete mise ne čitamo bulletin ili neke druge novine. Za to ćemo imati dovoljno vremena, a za vrijeme mise molimo i slavimo Gospodina. Isto tako upozoravamo na vrlo ružan običaj žvakanjanja žvakaćih...Onda se dogodi da te žvake lijepe po klupama i time prave i duhovnu i materijalnu štetu za našu zajednicu. Razmislimo o ovome i nastojmo da nam se ovakvi propusti ne događaju.

Reasons for Belief in the Afterlife People commonly conceive the history of thought as a gradual liberation from spiritual (religious) explanations to material (scientific) ones. While that view contains some truth, it oversimplifies. The earliest philosophers, like Heraclitus and Democrates, were materialists in the sense that they tried to reduce reality to a single substance. It took a questioner like Socrates to uncover their naivete. Plato and Aristotle subsequently developed more complex philosophies which included spirit and matter, mind and body. Jesus easily deflates their reasoning because He has a more complex view of the human person. The resurrection will involve not a mere extension of physical existence, but a heightening of spiritual capacity (to become”like angels”). Then he cites a verse from their common authority, the Pentateuch. Exodus 3:6 refers to the Lord as “God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob.” Belief in a personal God demands belief in the afterlife. How could His care for us stop at the grave? The Sadducees had hidden motives for denying the afterlife. They were the elite among first century Jews. Their comfortable life came from collaboration with worldly powers. The Pharisees, who religiously were closer to Jesus, resisted the dominant culture. Often they did so at a great price. We see an example in our first reading - a valiant mother who encouraged her seven sons to accept torture and death rather than deny the covenant. (2 Mac 7:1-14) Their belief in the resurrection gave them such strength. Some two centuries later another man, Jesus, offered the supreme sacrifice. He did so not just because of His hope in the resurrection, but to make resurrection possible for us!
