Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord – the Christmas Eve liturgy – the Shepherd’s Mass– in Polish Wigilia Świąt Bożego Narodzenia and we call this special Mass – Pasterka.
Christmas is present – here and now, in our Family, in our Church and in our hearts. The Good News for this Christmas is: God wants to win our love, therefore he became man. (Soren Kirkegard)
In this Holy Mass which we now celebrate, we are in the mystery of Christmas –God the Son, who is two times born within us: Jesus will be born in the Liturgy of the Word as the everlasting Word of God and He will be born in the Liturgy of the Eucharist as a bread of the life and as a blood of our salvation. These two comings of our Lord we celebrate in each Holy Mass and especially today.
I want to wish you and your loved ones:
May the presence of Emmanuel
fill your lives with abundant joy and peace.
Wishing you peaceful, warm and family oriented feast of Christmas
And good healthy condition and May God bless you in New Year 2022
Fr. Andrzej Bieganowski and Family
