NEW LENTEN BLOG: https://stcasimirbuffalo.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-bitter-lamentations-of-lent-gorzkie.html

The traditional Polish "Pondering Jesus" depicts the Lord just before His crucifixion. Scourged with whips, mocked in a royal scarlet cloak, crowned with spiny thorns, the abused, harassed, and mocked Jesus "wonders" what people will do with the world He is about to die for. Come and unite your pain with the Lord's. He heals all suffering in the mystical and Bitter Lamentations or Gorzkie Żale. All Sundays of Lent at 9:30am. Sung in English.

READY 4 SUNDAY. Veiling of altar and images was never done away with in Vatican II. It became an option for the 5th Sunday of Lent, called fasting for the eyes.

May elders: priests, catechists, grand/parents lead our children to Jesus' and Mama Mary's Protector by celebrating his memory in their families. This is what we need in the wake of world-wide abuse in many spheres of human life.
