Today we celebrate the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Ordinary Time is our own time in the complete time of the Church. We are the basis of that period and we have to take responsibility for it. We have the individual call to do things which Jesus command to us in our parish but we have to recognize this by prayer and activate our lives to fulfil it. God’s invitation to each of us to participate with him in bringing his message of salvation to all mankind is the fact. The only baggage needed in following his call is to put our trust in him and do good things which he requires from us.
The Eucharist, which we now celebrate, is the first and good step to realize our call in today’s world, as St. Peter did in his life. We have the mission of the evangelization of our relatives, friends and neighbors, which we have to fulfil.

Welcome Our Visitors
– We welcome all our visitors who are present with us for worship this Sunday! Please introduce yourself to the Pastor after Mass. Please write your names in the guest book located in the vestibule of the church. Please remember that you are always welcome to join us in worship at Holy Cross Church.
Announcements
- After Epiphany Feast will be the Pastoral Visit – Kolęda and blessing of the homes.
- Evangelization is in no small part about accessibility. Make your parish accessible; make the extra effort. Like the young Samuel, let your first priority be a basic one: Open the temple doors.
- The Incarnation tells us the most important truth about ourselves: we are destined for divinization. The church fathers never tired of repeating this phrase as a sort of summary of Christian belief: God became human so that humans might become God. (Robert Barron – Catholicism)
- My Warmly Thank You to all of the people who remember of me and my family by the presents and the donations. Be sure that you are in my prayers before the Alter.
- The annual meeting of the members of Holy Cross parish will be conducted Sunday, February 24, 2019, right after 10:00AM Mass.
One Main Point
God’s invitation to each of us to participate with him in bringing his message of salvation to all mankind. The only baggage needed in following his calling is to put our trust in him.
