After forty days of the Lenten journey and fifty days of Easter joy, we celebrate in June in our community the Feast of Pentecost – the Descent of the Holy Spirit. It is the culmination of a period when we have learned to listen to God in silence, rejoice in Christ's resurrection, and open our hearts to a new beginning. Pentecost is not just a reminder of a distant event, but a living reality that transforms us and encourages us to have courage, cooperate, and be open. The Holy Spirit, whom Jesus promised us and sent after His ascension to the Father, is still present among us – teaching us, reminding us of Jesus' words, and giving us strength for a new life.

Easter is not a holiday like the others: it is the "Feast of Feasts," the "Celebration of Celebrations." By celebrating the Easter mystery, Christians unite in close fellowship with Christ and walk with Him on the way of the cross to resurrection and to life with God.

Ancient poetry and piety depicted You, Lord, as a pelican who pierces its breast with its beak to nourish its young. We are just such unfeathered chicks, gathering around the cross from which You pour forth the life-giving stream of blood. We drink so that we do not die. Our thirst urges us, Your love calls us, which wants nothing more than to give itself.

I'm raking rotten leaves and complaining. Why do I have to toil? Why can't I just do what makes me happy?
And on top of that, it's Lent! As if Christianity itself isn't challenging enough without it. Who would mind a six-month Christmas followed by Easter right after? Half a year of sweets and the rest of the year eggs and sausages...
It is not easy, although it may seem obvious, to forgive someone who has hurt us. Victims of wars, concentration camps, prisons, surviving relatives of innocently murdered or killed individuals, victims of abuse and all kinds of mistreatment could tell their stories. Those unjustly sentenced in communist prisons realized that they could not be angry with their jailers and judges, as that would primarily harm themselves. Hatred would destroy them from within. However, one cannot forgive on behalf of other victims, without the sincere acknowledgment and request for forgiveness from the perpetrator. It is indeed sad if a victim senses the insincerity or calculating nature of the perpetrator's apology.

The priest complained that he had to travel to the other end of the world, to Litoměřice, during the Christmas octave to be mandatory present for the commencement of the jubilee year, the meaning of which he still hadn’t deciphered despite the pastoral letters. However, he went. When the Pope and the bishop command, it is better to listen than to grumble. He encouraged himself for the journey with the thought of the Holy Family's flight to Egypt to escape Herod, which was also not an expedition anyone would look forward to. In the end, it turned out to be excellent. After all, the priest had such low expectations that he could only be pleasantly surprised.

I am not entirely sure if it is directly related to my wife, but it is a fact that ever since we got married, a new child mysteriously appears in our apartment from time to time. Over the years, this subtle invasion of small people has grown to such an extent that even my keen eyes could not help but notice them.
