Saint John Chrysostom, Bishop, Doctor
Saturday of week 23 in Ordinary Time
First reading:1 Timothy 1:15-17
Saint Paul proclaims with simplicity and power the heart of the Gospel: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” This truth cuts through every complexity, every excuse, and every illusion of self-sufficiency. Salvation is not our achievement, it is the gift of Christ who entered our brokenness to lift us into His mercy. Paul, once a persecutor, speaks from experience, and his gratitude bursts forth in praise: “To the eternal King, the undying, invisible and only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever.” On this day we honor Saint John Chrysostom, the golden-mouthed preacher, whose words also overflowed with this same truth: all glory belongs to God because all salvation comes from Him. His eloquence, like Paul’s testimony, reminds us that our lives too should become a proclamation, not necessarily with golden words, but with authentic witness that points to Christ. When we acknowledge ourselves as sinners saved by grace, our hearts naturally rise in thanksgiving, and our lives become a hymn of glory to the eternal King. Let’s reflect: Do I truly live with the awareness that I am a sinner saved by Christ’s mercy, letting my gratitude overflow into praise and a life that gives glory to God alone?

Tanzanian Region we amazing in God for great things which done for us!
We would like to thank God for His grace and blessings upon our Congregation, especially in our Tanzania Region, where He has brought us safely through various events and activities that we have successfully carried out.
On August 30, 2025, we held the second graduation ceremony for our Standard Seven class at John Schneider Pre and Primary School at Mwanga. The celebration was very beautiful, and both our children and their parents were filled with joy. This year’s event was even better than last year’s, as more parents participated in large numbers.
Additionally, the parents expressed their wish and request for us to continue to care and to teach the children in good moral and in human dignity as we done from the beginning. They expressed that because, in our school, the children receive excellent spiritual and physical care.
Here is our Standard Seven Pupils. Who graduated this Year 2025

From August 25 to 31, nine Sisters from our Congregation decided to spend part of their summer vacation together in Pieniążkowice in the Podhale region, forming a community of different ages and nationalities. It was impossible not to notice that this time was prepared for us by God Himself, starting with the beautiful natural surroundings (and weather as well), through a house that encouraged us to be together and at the same time gave space for each of us individually, to the very composition of our temporary community.
We could go on and on about what we experienced during this special week. Breakfasts on the terrace overlooking the Tatra Mountains, walks in the meadows and forests, joint trips to nearby shrines (and more), “hydrotherapy” conducive to more and less serious conversations, evening card games, a shared table that was not “mandatory” and yet in a natural, spontaneous way always brought us together, the organization of the day giving us plenty of freedom without haste and respecting each person's rhythm. Even something as ordinary as reading books in the same room and talking at the same time was a sign that we want to and know how to be gentle and sensitive to each other. Our vacation was also proof that we can be of different ages and speak different languages, but we will always communicate with the language of the heart.
Getting to know each other in the “vacation version,” when we can step out of our everyday roles, without the burden of our usual responsibilities, helps us to better understand the richness of the person next to us. This special time in Pieniążkowice is also proof that it is possible to relax well in the company of fellow sisters. And what we sometimes need most to renew our strength is to break out of the daily patterns that weaken the spirit.

The Most Holy Name of Mary
First reading 1 Timothy 1:1-2,12-14
Saint Paul shares with Timothy the wonder of his own transformation: once a persecutor, he was changed entirely by the overflowing grace of Christ, which filled him with faith and love. His testimony reminds us that no past failure is beyond the reach of God’s mercy, for grace does not merely pardon. But it recreates, reshapes, and redirects a life. This same truth shines in a unique way in the Most Holy Name of Mary. Her name evokes the mystery of grace perfectly received: from the first moment of her existence, she was filled with faith and love because she was entirely open to God’s will. Where Paul’s life shows us the power of grace to transform what is broken, Mary’s life shows us the fullness of what grace can do in a soul completely surrendered to God. In both, we glimpse the same reality: grace is the true author of holiness. To honor the Name of Mary, then, is to honor the work of God in her, and to entrust ourselves to her maternal help, that we too may be filled with the love and faith that come only from Christ Jesus. Let’s reflect: Do I allow God’s grace, through the intercession of Mary, to transform me as it did Saint Paul, filling me with faith and love so that my life becomes a testimony of His mercy?

First reading Colossians 3:12-17
Saint Paul paints a picture of the Christian life clothed in the virtues that reflect God’s own heart: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. These are not optional qualities but the garments that mark us as God’s chosen people, His saints, dearly loved by Him. To wear them daily means bearing with others in their weakness, forgiving as readily as Christ has forgiven us, and letting love be the bond that holds everything together. When love reigns, the peace of Christ can take root in our hearts and shape the life of the whole community. Paul reminds us too that gratitude is the constant posture of believers, expressed in song, prayer, and in every word and deed offered in the name of the Lord Jesus. To let the message of Christ find a home within us is to live with hearts full of wisdom, joy, and thanksgiving, making every action a reflection of His presence. This passage is both practical and profound: it calls us not only to believe in Christ but to wear Him visibly in the fabric of our daily lives. Let’s reflect: Am I clothing myself daily with compassion, humility, patience, forgiveness, and above all love, so that the peace of Christ reigns in my heart and my words and actions reflect His presence with gratitude?
