<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>The fifty days from Easter Sunday of the Lord&#8217;s Resurrection until Pentecost Sunday are celebrated in joy and exultation as one single feastday, as &#8216;Great Sunday&#8217; (magna dominica). It is on these days in particular that the Alleluia is sung (LY 22).</em></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><em><span style="color: #000080;">EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD,</span></em></strong><br />
<em><span style="color: #000080;"> solemnity with Octave.</span></em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000080;">Liturgical color: White</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="color: #000080;">EASTER VIGIL</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1.</strong> By most ancient tradition, this is the night of keeping vigil for the Lord, and the Vigil celebrated during it, commemorating that holy night when the Lord rose from the dead, is regarded as the &#8216;Mother of all holy vigils&#8217;. For in this night the Church awaits in vigil the Resurrection of the Lord, and celebrates it with the sacraments of Christian initiation. The Christian tradition has however always recognized its character of expectation of the Lord&#8217;s coming again.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2</strong>. The entire celebration of the Easter Vigil must take place during the night, so that it begins after nightfall and ends before daybreak on the Sunday. The practice of celebrating the Easter Vigil on the Saturday evening at the time when the Sunday Vigil Masses are habitually celebrated is to be censured. The whole of the celebration is, moreover, so to be arranged that its nature as a protracted Vigil is safeguarded.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3.</strong> The celebration of a Mass without the rites of the Easter Vigil is not allowed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4</strong>. The Easter Vigil may be celebrated even in churches and oratories. Where the liturgies of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday have not taken place, and neither is the Vigil of obligation when they have. The celebration of the Vigil is, however, compulsory where there is a baptismal font.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>5.</strong> Throughout the whole Vigil liturgy, as also at the Mass, the sacred ministers should wear white vestments.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>6.</strong> Tonight&#8217;s vigil should be so arranged that after the brief Liturgy of Light or lucernarium (which is the first part of the Vigil), the Church meditates on the marvels the Lord God wrought for his people from the very beginning and strengthens by his Word and his promise (the second part of the Vigil, or Liturgy of the Word), until the moment when with the approaching Day of the Resurrection, together with her new members reborn in baptism (third part), the Church is called to the table the Lord has prepared for his people by means of his Death and Resurrection (fourth part).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The whole Easter Vigil proceeds by means of symbols and rites which call for a certain grandeur and dignity, in order that the faithful may grasp their meaning, prompted even by the words of the commentaries, invitations and prayers. It is fitting in particular that the faithful be introduced by means of a brief introduction to the understanding of the typological meaning of the Old Testament readings proclaimed during the Vigil.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>7.</strong> As regards the blessing of the fire, in so far as possible a large fire should be prepared in a suitable place outside the church, such that its flames may truly scatter the darkness and light up the night.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>8.</strong> The paschal candle, for effective symbolism, should be made of wax, of one piece, and of a considerable size, and be renewed every year. For it is meant to represent the figure of Christ who as the True Light, illuminates the whole world. The candle should be blessed with the words and gestures laid down by the liturgical books.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>9.</strong> The Easter Proclamation or Exsultet may be sung, in case of necessity, even by a cantor who is not a deacon, but in this event the cantor does not receive a blessing from the celebrant, and the second part of the invitation is omitted (Quapropter… or Therefore, dearest friends, standing…) as is the greeting Dominus vobiscum (The Lord be with you).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is possible to sing either the longer or the shorter form.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>10.</strong> At least three readings are to be proclaimed from the Old Testament, and even in urgent circumstances at least two. The reading from the Book of Exodus is never to be omitted. The series of readings for the Vigil is as follows:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>1. Gen</strong> 1,1–2,2 (or 1,1,26-31a).</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"> <strong>2. Gen</strong> 22,1-18 (or 22,1-2. 9a. 10-13. 15-18).</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"> <strong>3. Ex</strong> 14, 15-15, 1.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"> <strong>4. Is</strong> 54,5-14.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"> <strong>5. Is</strong> 55,1-11.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"> <strong>6. Bar</strong> 3,9-15. 32-4,4.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"> <strong>7. Ez</strong> 36,16-17a. 18-28.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"> <strong>3. Rom</strong> 6,3-11.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"> <strong>9. Mt</strong> 28,1-10.</span></p>
<p><strong>11.</strong> The Baptismal Liturgy of the Easter Vigil reaches its fullest form when the baptism of adults, or at least of children, is celebrated. However, even when the sacrament of Baptism is not celebrated, in parish churches the baptismal water should be blessed. In cases where there are neither baptisms nor blessing of the font, the sacrament of Baptism should be recalled by the blessing of water, with which the faithful are then sprinkled after having renewed their baptismal promises.</p>
<p><strong>12.</strong> For the proclamation of the Gospel reading at Mass, incense may be used, but lights are not carried.</p>
<p><strong>13.</strong> It is fitting that the fullness of the Eucharistic signs be attained in the Easter Vigil by means of communion under both kinds. It pertains to the local Ordinaries to consider the suitability and the circumstances of such a concession and to lay down appropriate norms.</p>
<p><strong>14.</strong> The Mass of the Vigil is the Easter Mass of the Lord&#8217;s Resurrection. Any priest celebrating or concelebrating the Vigil Mass in the night may celebrate or concelebrate a second Easter Mass the next morning.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">AT THE EASTER VIGILI MASS</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333399;"> proper, with proper Preface and proper inserts of Easter for the Eucharistic Prayer.</span></p>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>MASS PROPER OF EASTER DAY</strong>, Gloria, sequence, Creed, with proper Preface and proper inserts of Easter for the Eucharistic Prayer.</span></p>

<p>At an evening Mass the Gospel may be Lk 24, 13-35.</p>
<p>Other celebrations are not permitted, not even funeral Masses.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>l.</strong> The Mass of Easter Day should be celebrated with great solemnity. At this Mass, in place of the opening penitential rites, all are sprinkled with water blessed on Easter Night, to recall their baptism.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2.</strong> The paschal candle, which should be placed near the ambo or near the altar, and kept there for the whole of Easter Time until the end of Pentecost Sunday. It should be lit for the more solemn liturgical celebrations, namely Mass, Lauds, and Vespers, during this time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3.</strong> Where is it still the practice, the custom of celebrating baptismal Vespers on Easter Sunday should be diligently maintained, and where it is not the practice it should whenever possible be introduced. At this celebration of Vespers psalms are sung and there is a procession to the fonts (IH, 213).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Today, and throughout the whole Octave, Sunday Compline (as after either First or Second Vespers), with the antiphon Haec dies, instead of the short responsory.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Instead of the <em>Angelus</em> prayer (<em>The Angel of the Lord&#8230;</em>), for the whole Easter season the antiphon <em>Regina coeli</em> (<em>Queen of Heaven rejoice, alleluia…</em>) is recited.</p>

Joseph Szpilski CM in St. Stanislaus Kostka Church, Brooklyn, NY.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-1869"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dawn of the first day after Shabat. Nothing special was supposed to happen on that morning. However, there was something, that kept uneasy his associates, who followed Him in recent years and days. It was still dark, when Mary Magdalene arrived to the tomb of Jesus and saw the stone rolled away. She didn&#8217;t know what could have happened and decided to notify those who were friends to Him.  Response was quick. &#8220;Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. When he bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there&#8230; Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head&#8230;  He saw and believed. They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead&#8221; (John 20: 4-9). Resurrection of Jesus changed the world. Fr Mieczyslaw Malinski, well-known Polish poet-priest wrote, &#8220;We return to the tomb of Jesus, trying to understand what it means to be resurrected &#8230; what it means to each of us.&#8221; Contrary to what today&#8217;s world of consumption suggests, first of all, Resurrection of Jesus teaches us faith and hope.  This is why John has wrote, &#8220;he went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth&#8230;  He saw and believed&#8221; (John 20:8). Easter is the feast of faith and hope. We never can forget it!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cross was installed on the grave of Hubert Roztworowski, Polish poet and playwright of 1920s. One of the arms bears inscription: &#8220;Surrexit Christus Spes Mea&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Christ Has Risen, My Hope&#8221;. Another inscription was made on the cover stone of the tomb, &#8220;I BELIEVE&#8221;, &#8220;WIERZĘ&#8221;. Church proclaims the truth of Resurrection since over over twenty centuries. I feel sad, when I hear evil comments about my Church. It hurts when young people turn away from the Church. When they do not feel themselves the Church. It&#8217;s annoying to see demons of the past in expressions such as, Christ &#8211; YES! Church &#8211; NO! Pope John Paul II taught us at Jasna Gora in 1997, &#8220;after all the Church is our spiritual mother&#8230; The Church is the body of Christ&#8230; NO told to the Church might be NO told to the Christ as well; it&#8217;s true, that the Church is a reality, human reality, too, which brings together all the limitations and imperfections. She is made of sinful and weak people&#8230; Did Christ himself not want, that our faith faced this difficulty? It necessary, that we were faithful children of the Church which we create. If we say Christ  YES with our life and faith, we have to say Church YES, too&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Easter is the feast of faith, confidence and life! It&#8217;s striving for what is high above not for what is earthly, as we read in the Letter of St. Paul to Colossians (cf, 3:2). Easter means the joy that hatred was defeated by Love&#8230; Easter means the hope, that life always makes sense&#8230; Easter means belief, that nothing is impossible&#8230; Easter means good, joyful and warm wishes&#8230; This is why we repeat after Klaus Hemerle, a German bishop: &#8220;Let us wish ourselves to have Easter eyes giving us opportunity to see the splendor of Easter ALLELUIA in death; to see the mystery of living in sin in the hope of forgiveness;  to see God&#8217;s Mercy in consciousness of guilt; to see indestructible unity in separation; to see mystery of God in human person; to see human dignity in God; to live human «YOU» in my «I»&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To all of You, and by You to your relatives and  those whom you meet at the Eastertime, I wish Easter eyes&#8230; such eyes which can see what is invisible.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Fr. Joseph Szpilski, C.M.</p>

Józefa Szpilskiego CM</strong>, w kościele św. Stanisława Kostki na Brooklynie.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-1867"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wczesny ranek pierwszego dnia po szabacie nic nie zapowiadało wyjątkowego poranka. A jednak coś nie dawało spokoju tym, którzy towarzyszyli Mu w czasie ostatnich lat i dni. Było jeszcze ciemno, gdy Maria Magdalena przybyła do grobu Jezusa i zobaczyła odsunięty kamień. Nie wiedziała co mogło się stać. Postanowiła zawiadomić tych, którzy się z Nim przyjaźnili. Reakcja była, natychmiastowa: &#8220;Biegli oni obydwaj razem lecz ów drugi uczeń wyprzedził Piotra i przybył pierwszy do grobu. A kiedy się nachylił, zobaczył leżące płótna … Nadszedł potem Szymon Piotr, idący za nim. Wszedł do wnętrza grobu i ujrzał leżące płótna oraz chustę. . . Ujrzał i uwierzył. Dotąd bowiem nie rozumieli jeszcze Pisma, które mówi, że On ma powstać z martwych&#8221;. /J 20, 4-9/ Zmartwychwstanie Jezusa zmieniło świat. Jak pisał Ks. Mieczysław Maliński: &#8220;Wracamy do grobu Jezusa, starając się zrozumieć, co znaczy zmartwychwstać … co to znaczy dla każdego z nas&#8221;. Wbrew temu, co podpowiada dzisiejszy konsumpcyjny świat, Zmartwychwstanie Jezusa uczy przede wszystkim wiary i nadziei.To dlatego św. Jan napisał: &#8220;Wszedł do wnętrza grobu i ujrzał leżące płótna oraz chustę … Ujrzał i uwierzył&#8221; /J.20,8/ Wielkanoc jest świętem wiary i nadziei. Nie można o tym zapominać!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nad grobem dramaturga i poety lat międzywojennych Karola Huberta Rostworowskiego umieszczono krzyż. Na jednym z ramion widnieje napis: &#8220;Surexit Christus spes mea …&#8221; &#8220;Zmartwychwstanie Chrystusa nadzieja moja&#8221;. Na kamieniu poniżej krzyża, leżącym na płycie grobowej, umieszczono napis: &#8220;WIERZĘ&#8221; … Kościół prawdę o Zmartwychwstaniu głosi od ponad 2000 lat. Przykro mi, gdy słyszę, że o moim Kościele mówi się źle. Boli, kiedy młodzi odwracają się od Kościoła, nie czują się Kościołem. Przykro, gdy ciągle wracają demony przeszłości w zwrotach: Chrystus -TAK! Kościół – NIE! Pouczał nas Papież Jan Paweł II na Jasnej Górze w 1997 roku: &#8220;Kościół jest przecież naszą duchową matką … Kościół jest ciałem Chrystusa … NIE powiedziane Kościołowi byłoby również NIE powiedzianym Chrystusowi; to prawda, że Kościół jest rzeczywistością także ludzką, która niesie w sobie wszystkie ograniczenia i niedoskonałości. Składa się bowiem z ludzi grzesznych i słabych … Czy Chrystus sam nie chciał, by nasza wiara w Kościele zmierzyła się z tą trudnością? Trzeba, abyśmy byli wiernymi dziećmi Kościoła, który tworzymy. Jeśli naszą wiarą i życiem mówimy TAK Chrystusowi, to trzeba również powiedzieć TAK Kościołowi&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wielkanoc to święto wiary, ufności i życia! To dążenie do tego, co w górze, nie do tego , co na ziemi – jak napisał św. Paweł w Liście do Kolosan / Kol. 3,2 /. Wielkanoc to radość, że nienawiść została pokonana przez Miłość … Wielkanoc to nadzieja, że życie zawsze ma sens … Wielkanoc to przekonanie, że nie ma rzeczy niemożliwych …Wielkanoc to życzenia dobra, ciepła i radości … Dlatego powtarzamy za niemieckim biskupem Klausem Hemerle: &#8220;Życzmy sobie wielkanocnych oczu, które pozwalają nam dostrzec blask wielkanocnego ALLELUJA – w śmierci – tajemnicę życia w grzechu- nadzieję przebaczenia, w świadomości win: – Boże Miłosierdzie, w rozstaniu – niezniszczalną jedność, w człowieku – tajemnicę Boga, w Bogu – godność człowieka, w moim &#8220;ja&#8221; – przeżywać ludzkie &#8220;TY&#8221;!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wszystkim Wam, a za Waszą przyczyną bliskim i tym, których spotkacie w świątecznym czasie, życzę Wielkanocnych oczu… Takich oczu, które potrafią dostrzec to, co niedostrzegalne …</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Ks. Józef Szpilski, C.M</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><a href="http://cmnewengland.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/123-Easter-cap.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-260" style="margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 6px;" title="123-Easter-cap" src="http://cmnewengland.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/123-Easter-cap.jpg" alt="" width="171" height="170" /></a>&#8220;Chrystus Zmartwychwstał&#8230; Prawdziwie Zmartwychwstał&#8230; Zmartwychwstanie Jezusa Chrytusa stanowi podstawę naszej, chrześcijańskiej wiary. Zmartwychwstanie Pańskie jest największym z cudów, albowiem dowodzi, że Jezus jest Bogiem. Święty Paweł w Liście do Koryntian napisał znamienne słowa:  «Jeśli Jezus nie zmartwychwstał, daremne jest nasze nauczanie, próżna jest także wasza wiara. A jeżeli Chrytus nie zmartwychwstał, aż dotąd pozostajecie w swoich grzechach. Tymczasem jednak Chrystus zmartwychwstał, jako pierwszy spośród tych co pomarli»&#8221; (por. 1Kor 15,14-20)  <span id="more-259"></span><br />
</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Te słowa wierni uczestniczący we Mszy św. w Niedzielę Zmartwychwstania Pańskiego usłyszeli od ks. Marka Sobczaka CM,  proboszcza parafii św. Stanisława Kostki na Greepoincie w Brooklynie, NY.  Poniżej dajemy możliwość posłuchania tej wielkanocnej homilii tym, którzy nie uczetniczyli w Eucharystki u św. Stanisława Kostki. Aby odtworzyć nagranie, wystarczy kliknąć na poniższy tytuł:</p>

</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="color: #888888;">&#8220;Christ is Risen&#8230; Risen indeed&#8230; Resurrection of Jesus Christ constitutes the foundation of our Christian faith. Lord&#8217;s Resurrection is the greatest miracle, because it gives an evidence, hat Jesus is God. In the Letter to Corinthians Saint Paul wrote significant words: «And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep»&#8221; (cf. 1 Cor 15:14-20)</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #888888;">These words could be heard in the homily preached by Fr. Marek Sobczak CM, Pastor of St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish, Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY on Easter Sunday.  You can listen to this homily in Polish clicking on the title above. </span></p>
