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.
The end of the year is approaching, so allow us a brief look back at the events surrounding "our" organ, which has beautifully accompanied the masses for two years thanks to our young organists. Our organ also attracts conservatory students and diocesan organists, who occasionally come to play, such as Přemysl Kšica with his students. Last but not least, the organ also plays at concerts.

Close your eyes (but then open them so you can see the text in front of you).
Imagine you are a small child again.
Gradually imagine all the people you have loved. How you were close to them and wished for their happiness, that only good things would happen to them. Can you feel what you felt?

The holidays are a time of leisure, or at least a time to slow down, a reduction in work obligations, and idleness... However, this was not the case for this year's holidays at the rectory, and especially not in its attic. Clearing out and sorting all the accumulated things, filling a large container with waste, was managed just before the holidays.
