The Borgian

A nyone who has seen a loved one off to a new adventure knows how difficult it is to rejoice, even when we are reasonably opti-mistic about their future. So, we can imagine how difficult it must have been for the disciples to rejoice in Jesus’ announced departure. Today’s Gospel is part of Jesus’ Last Supper discourse, recorded only by John. Jesus announces shocking news. He must go to the Father, and they should rejoice in this. To help them through this, Jesus gives his disciples his give of peace and promises an Advocate. From our privileged position in history, we can see that all that Jesus promises comes to pass. The Church has grown and still exists on this earth because of the abiding Spirit. But living by the Spirit and entering into the peace of Christ is no small task. Jesus doesn’t prom-ise the apostles a rose garden. He is realistic about the costs of disci-pleship. And, mercifully, he is also clear about its rewards.

School News

This Week At St. Francis Borgia School: There will be a Parents' Association meeting on Monday, May 6, at 7:00 p.m. in the Resource Room. The Chess Club will meet after school on Tuesday, May 7. WHAT TEACHERS MAKE

The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?" He reminded the other dinner guests what they say about teachers: "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach." To stress his point he said to another guest, "You're a teacher, Bonnie. Be honest. What do you make?" Bonnie, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, "You want to know what I make?” She paused for a second, then began..."Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor. I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can't make them sit for 5 without an iPod, Game Cube or movie rental. You want to know what I make?" She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table. “I make kids wonder. I make them question. I make them critique. I make them apologize and mean it. I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions. I teach them to write and then I make them write. I make them read, read, read. I make them show all their work in math. I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know in English while preserving their unique cultural identity. I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe. I make my students stand to say the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, because we live in the United States of America. Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life.” Bonnie paused one last time and then continued. "Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant.....You want to know what I make? I MAKE A DIFFERENCE. What do you make?" Tuesday, May 7, is National Teacher Day. Please be sure to thank a teacher today! There is much truth in this statement: "Teachers make every other profession."

The St. Francis Borgia Mini Bombers will meet Wednesday, May 8, in the gym from 12:45 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. This is a FREE Mom and Tots group.

Respect Life Baby Bottle Project

Once again, on Mother’s Day, we’ll invite our parishioners to participate in a fundraiser to help The Women’s Center. In the Baby Bottle Project, the Women’s Center is asking you to take a baby bottle, bring it home, drop in your spare change or larger donation and return the bottles to the church or to the rectory by Sunday, June 9th (The week before Father’s Day). The Women’s Center counsels women in a crisis pregnancy with kindness, respect and compassion. Approximately 5000 women contact the Center annually as they make decisions about the life of their child. The Center assists women materially and spiritually through daily prayers.

SPARE CHANGE SAVES BABIES! TAKE home an Empty Baby Bottle Today

May 4th and 5th FILL the bottle with your Spare Change

RETURN the Bottle on June 8th and 9th

From the Pastor’s Desk… Today’s readings filled with optimism and hope make this weekend a joyful and special one. We are filled with gratitude for Christ’s resurrection and His gift of the Eucharist. The reading from the Acts of the Apostles reminds us that Jesus died for our sins. At the same time we are forgiven and given a chance to start a new life. St. John in his letter calls Jesus our Advocate with the Father. It means that we can go to Him with all our needs. Today, Jesus stands before us with the words, “Peace be with you.” He says that to all First Holy Communion children, to their parents, Godparents, and guardians and to all people who lost the gift of peace. Jesus says to each one of us, “You are my witnesses.” The role of a witness is not easy and appreciated. Many people gather in the place where the accident occurred but when the policeman asks who can say how it happened and can testify, they are all gone. Nobody wants to be a witness because this is a great responsibility. How are we going to answer to Jesus’ request to be His witnesses? We have to remember that the witness of Jesus does not have any free weekends or vacations. He has to testify everywhere and all the time. Let us ask Jesus today to strengthen us and make us faithful and active witnesses of his resurrection. Fr. Rich

Z Biurka Ks. Proboszcza… “Popatrzcie, jaką miłością obdarzył nas Ojciec; zostaliśmy nazwani dziećmi Bożymi i rzeczywiście nimi jesteśmy.” To dziecięctwo Boże utraciliśmy przez grzech, a odzyskaliśmy poprzez Śmierć i Zmartwychwstanie Jezusa Chrystusa. On stał się naszym Orędownikiem danym nam przez Ojca. On jest kamieniem, odrzuconym przez budujących, który stał się kamieniem węgielnym. On jest tym na którym pragniemy budować i oprzeć całe nasze życie. Ojciec Św. Jan Paweł II w czasie pobytu w Ojczyżnie zadał swoim rodakom i całemu światu pytanie: “Czy można Chrystusa odrzucić?” Można – odpowiedział Papież, ale czym Go wtedy zastąpić? Był czas, kiedy chciano odebrać nam ten kamień węgielny, którym jest Chrystus i nakłonić nas do budowania naszego życia na obiecująco brzmiących ideologiach. Był to bardzo trudny i niebezpieczny okres dla wierzącej Polski. Dziś, kiedy co dopiero obchodziliśmy Święto Maryi Królowej Polski i rocznicę Konstytucji 3 Maja chcemy prosić Maryję Królową miesiąca maja, aby prowadziła nas ciągle do Chrystusa bo tylko z Nim i w Nim nasze życie ma sens. Tylko z Nim możemy zbudować i osiągnąć to co ma na imię “wieczność”. Zachęcamy wszystkich do udziału w Nowennie z okazji Dnia Matki, którą rozpocznie sie w najblizsza niedziele. Codziennie rano będa odprawiane Msze Św. w intencji wszystkich matek tak zmarłych jak i żyjących. Prosimy o wypisanie na otrzymanych kopertach imion waszych matek za które będziemy się modlić w czasie Nowenny.

Ks. Ryszard Milek

Faith can be Funny

A missionary preacher decided to skip services one Sunday and head to the hills to do some tiger hunting. As he rounded a corner on a perilous twist in the trail, he and a tiger collided, sending him and his rifle tumbling down the mountainside. Before he knew it, his rifle went one way and he went the other, landing on a rock and breaking both legs. That was the good news. The bad news was that the ferocious tiger was charging at him from a distance and he could not move, “Oh, Lord,” the preacher prayed, “I am sorry for skipping services today to come out here and hunt. Please forgive me and grant me just one wish… please make a Christian out of that tiger that is coming at me. Please Lord.” That very instant, the tiger skidded to a stop, fell to its knees, clasped its paws together and began to pray aloud at the preachers feet: “Dear God, bless this food I am about to receive….”
