Wtorek drugiego tygodnia Wielkanocy
Ewangelia: J 3,7b-15W dzisiejszej Ewangelii Jezus mówi o „wywyższeniu”, nawiązując do miedzianego węża, którego Mojżesz podniósł na pustyni i dzięki któremu zostali zbawieni ci, którzy na niego patrzyli. Obraz ten znajduje swoje wypełnienie w samym Chrystusie: Synu Człowieczym wywyższonym na krzyżu i objawionym w Zmartwychwstaniu. Zbawienie nie jest czymś odległym ani abstrakcyjnym, znajduje się w Nim, w żywym spojrzeniu wiary skierowanym ku Jego ofiarnej miłości. To, co wydaje się upokorzeniem, staje się wywyższeniem; to, co wydaje się porażką, staje się źródłem życia. Wierzyć w Tego, który jest wywyższony, oznacza wejść w Jego zwycięstwo, uznać, że nasze uzdrowienie i nasze zbawienie nie pochodzą od nas samych, ale od Tego, który oddaje się za nas. W okresie wielkanocnym jesteśmy zaproszeni, aby skierować nasze oczy na Chrystusa, wywyższonego i uwielbionego, i odkryć, że w Nim jesteśmy już wciągnięci w pełnię życia. Zastanówmy się: Wielkanoc to skierowanie naszego spojrzenia na Zmartwychwstałego i wywyższonego Chrystusa oraz odnalezienie w Nim naszego uzdrowienia, zbawienia i nowego życia.

Monday of the 2nd week of Eastertide
Saint Martin I, Pope, Martyr
Gospel: John 3:1-8In today’s Gospel, Jesus speaks to Nicodemus about a new birth, not of the flesh, but of the Spirit. “What is born of the Spirit is spirit.” This reveals that the Resurrection is not only something that happened to Christ, but something that must happen within us. To be born of the Spirit means to live a life transformed from within, no longer guided merely by human reasoning or habits, but by the unseen and life-giving presence of God. Like the wind that blows where it wills, the action of the Spirit cannot be controlled or fully understood, yet its effects are real and powerful. Saint Martin I, who remained faithful even in suffering, embodies this life of the Spirit, a life rooted not in external security, but in inner conviction and grace. During the Easter season, we are invited to open ourselves to this new birth, allowing the Spirit of the Risen Christ to shape our thoughts, our choices, and our entire way of living. Let’s reflect: Easter is allowing ourselves to be born of the Spirit and living a life transformed by the unseen presence of the Risen Christ.

Divine Mercy Sunday (2nd Sunday of Easter)
Readings: Acts 2:42-47; 1 Peter 1:3-9; John 20:19-31
On this Divine Mercy Sunday, the Word of God reveals that mercy is not an abstract idea, but a lived reality flowing from the Risen Christ. In the Acts of the Apostles (2:42–47), mercy takes the form of communion: the faithful live together, share everything, and allow love to shape their relationships. In the First Letter of Peter (1:3–9), mercy becomes a living hope: even without seeing Christ, believers love Him and rejoice with a deep and enduring joy. In the Gospel (John 20:19–31), mercy reaches its most intimate expression as Jesus stands in the midst of the disciples, showing His wounds, not as signs of defeat, but as sources of peace and forgiveness. To Thomas, who struggles to believe, Jesus does not reject but invites: “Put your finger here… doubt no longer but believe.” This is mercy, the Risen Lord meets us in our fear, our doubt, and our weakness, and transforms them from within. Divine Mercy is the presence of Christ who gathers, heals, and sends us, so that what we receive from Him becomes visible in how we live, love, and believe. Let’s reflect: Easter is receiving the mercy of the Risen Christ and living it in communion, faith, and love.

Easter Saturday
Gospel: Mark 16:9–15In today’s Gospel, the Risen Jesus appears to His disciples and entrusts them with a mission: “Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation.” The Resurrection is not only the moment of our salvation; it is also the beginning of our mission. The disciples, who were once fearful and uncertain, are now sent as witnesses of what they have encountered. Easter is not meant to be contained within personal experience, it must be proclaimed, lived, and shared. The joy of being saved becomes the responsibility to announce salvation. During the Easter season, we are reminded that to encounter the Risen Christ is to be transformed into a messenger of His life. Our faith cannot remain passive; it moves outward, reaching others through our words, our actions, and our witness. In Christ, we are not only saved, we are sent. Let’s reflect: Easter is embracing the new life given by the Risen Christ and being sent to proclaim it through our lives.

An Easter charity campaign for mission countries.
In an atmosphere of gratitude and joy, the finale of the charity campaign “One Heart, Many Hands – A Shared Mission,” organized by the Children’s Care and Treatment Center in Jaszkotl, took place. The event brought together numerous guests, partners, volunteers, and individuals committed to helping those most in need.
The idea to organize the campaign during this year’s Lent arose at a special time, as our Congregation commemorates the 150th anniversary of the death of Fr. Jan Schneider, a man deeply sensitive to the poverty and suffering of the most vulnerable, whose spiritual legacy we strive to uphold in the works we carry out in various corners of the world. The idea of a fundraiser for the missions run by our Congregation in Tanzania, the Philippines, and Indonesia arose from the desire to make the anniversary of his death an opportunity for concrete good, a living gesture of love and solidarity.
The culmination of the entire campaign was not only an opportunity to summarize the online fundraiser (which was very well received), but above all a moment demonstrating the power of community and solidarity. Thanks to the commitment of volunteers, donors, and partners, we were able to support specific aid projects in various parts of the world. In Tanzania, children will receive educational materials and the chance to learn; in the Philippines, the youngest children will receive birth certificates, enabling access to education and healthcare; and in Indonesia, women will be able to acquire a profession and secure the future of their families.
The highlight of the event was an Easter workshop, during which participants, among other activities, decorated Easter eggs together—a symbol of hope. The campaign’s finale demonstrated that even the smallest gesture matters, and that goodness—when shared—can multiply and bring true hope.
