Brothers and Sisters,

I hope that this week did not bring you too many difficult and unexpected experiences, but if it was so, I thank God that you had enough strength to come back here to worship God and draw strength to continue the race. (2 Timothy 4:7)

Jesus, who today calls us anew to be the “Salt of the Earth” and the “Light of the World” in order to save the world and lead it on the path to light and life everlasting, wants to give us in the Mass all the graces he knows we truly need to live up to this vocation… to choose to build our life on the rock. He wants to give us his help to prevent our salt from losing its saltiness and our light from going out. Let’s open ourselves to this help and boldly tell Him: “Yes, Lord, I want the same as You!  I want to live and love like You!”

Allow me, please, to dare to ask your support of the Annual Catholic Appeal 2020. Many of you have already received a direct mailing from His Eminence, Cardinal Blase Cupich, asking for your financial donation toward the annual Catholic Appeal 2020. As much as you are able, please support our Archdiocese of which we are all a part. God reward you…Thank you…God bless!

Fr. Pawel Barwikowski
