Polish, Slovak and Lithuanian families observe the centu5:00pm For Our Parishioners & Benefactors
ries-old Oplatki Christmas Tradition. The word Oplatki

means "Angel Bread". "The word Bethlehem means

"House of Bread." The breaking of the bread is a sign of

charity, unity, and friendship. Religious family traditions and

customs bring the truths of Faith into the home. One of

these beautiful Christmas customs is the Christmas Wafer.

the same way. The spiritual lesson in this age old custom is

unity of the family - the main pillar of society. The bond of
7:30am Health & God’s Blessing for
unity is the Christ-like charity that should exist amongst the

members of the family. The father of the family is the link in

All this brings to mind clearly our charity for one another, to

PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS
Let your goodness, Lord, appear to us, that we, made
in your image, conform ourselves to it. In our own
strength we cannot imitate your majesty, power and
wonder; nor is it fitting for us to try. But your mercy
reaches from the heavens, through the clouds, to the
earth below. You have come to us as a small child,
but you have brought us the greatest of all gifts, the
gift of eternal love. Caress us with your tiny hands,
embrace us with your tiny
arms, and pierce our hearts
with your soft, sweet cries.
Amen.
Że gdziekolwiek są dobrze im jest,
Bo są z nami choć w innej postaci.
I przekonaj, że tak ma być,
Że po głosach tych wciąż drży powietrze,
Że odeszli po to by żyć.
I tym razem będą żyć wiecznie.
Przyjdź na świat,
By wyrównać rachunki strat.
Żeby zająć wśród nas,
Puste miejsce przy stole.
Jeszcze raz pozwól cieszyć się dzieckiem w nas,
I zapomnieć że są puste miejsca przy stole.
A nadzieja znów wstąpi w nas,
Nieobecnych pojawią się cienie.
Uwierzyli kolejny raz,
W jeszcze jedno Boże Narodzenie.
I choć przygasł świąteczny gwar,
Bo zabrakło znów czyjegoś głosu.
Przyjdź tu do nas i z nami trwaj,
Wbrew tak zwanej ironii losu.
