Feast of St. James the Greater, Apostle

25 July 2009 - By Deacon Jim

St. James the GreaterAbout that time Herod the king laid violent hands upon some who belonged to the church.
He killed James the brother of John with the sword — Acts 12:1-2

O Glorious Saint James, because of your fervor and generosity Jesus chose you to witness his glory on the Mount and his agony in the Garden. Obtain for us strength and consolation in the unending struggles of this life. Help us to follow Christ constantly and generously, to be victors over all our difficulties, and to receive the crown of glory in heaven. Amen.

Annual blessing of wine

21 December 2008 - By Deacon Jim

From the Toledo Blade: Resurrection PNCC plans —˜Blessing of the Wine’

Resurrection Polish National Catholic Church will hold a traditional ‘Blessing of the Wine’ service on Dec. 28.

The ceremony is an old tradition in the Catholic Church and one that the PNCC has followed for many years, according to Chris Cremean, a member of Resurrection PNCC.

People can bring their personal wine from home to be blessed, he added.

The Rev. Jaroslaw Nowak, pastor, will perform the blessing at the 12:15 p.m. service at the church, 1835 West Temperance Rd., Temperance. More Information is available by calling the church, 734-874-5052.

Irony – the blessing of wine on Temperance Road in Temperance, Michigan… :)

I previously wrote on this event, which takes place every December 28th on the Feast of St. John the Evangelist. My post includes the Rite used in the PNCC. For more information, contact your local PNCC Parish.

Angel of God

2 October 2008 - By Deacon Jim

Today the PNCC marks the Feast of the Guardian Angels. Let us recognize their role in our lives and pray for their continued care over us.

My good Angel, Thou comest from heaven;
God has sent thee to take care of me.
Oh, shelter me under thy wings.
Lighten my path, direct my steps.
Do not leave me,
stay quite near me and defend me against the spirit of evil.
But above all come to my help in the last struggle of my life.
Deliver my soul so that with thee
it may praise, love and contemplate the goodness of God
forever and ever. Amen.

Jacek Malczewski -- Angel and Little Shepherd

(Jacek Malczewski -- Angel and Little Shepherd)

Aniele Boży, Stróżu mój,
Ty zawsze przy mnie stój;
Rano, w wieczór, we dnie, w nocy,
Bądź mi zawsze ku pomocy,
Broń mnie od wszelkiego złego
I doprowadź do żywota wiecznego.
Amen.
