Lest You Remain

b) One session/symposium for the Marians on the meaning and immedi- ate interest for today of the person of the newly Blessed Fr. Founder; (Fr. K. Pek agreed to take on this task: a symposium would be held at the CUL in Lublin, probably sometime in 2007). c) An invitation to our lay co-workers to the celebrations, particularly people associated with our Congregation through AMH, EADM, the Confraternity. 8. In accordance with the traditional approach, during the Post-Beatification Year, we should conduct in each house chapel and each Marian Church (also, in the parishes run by us) a solemn introduction of Fr. Papczy < ski’s relic , accompanied by an appropriate sermon, procession, and invitation for the faithful to actively partic- ipate in the celebrations (processions with gifts, chants, prayers, etc.) It would be very good, if we can come up with a special liturgical ritual for the occasion. Our priests ought to make a proposal to the pastors of their hometown parishes to hold similar solemn celebrations there. NOTE: In the matter concerning the form of the relic’s cult, the prevailing Committee’s opinion is to have the following reliquaries made: a) The main reliquary at the Founder’s tomb on Marianki; b) one for the Mass of Beatification purposes (as customary); c) one traveling reliquary for devotional purposes (as customary); d) other reliquaries may be made upon special request from church com- munities; they shall fulfill the following requirements: —a written petition addressed to the General Postulator and containing a justifiable reason; —description (within the petition) of the place where the relic would be held and the explanation of reasonable expectations for establishing his devotion; —justifiable need of the faithful; relics shall not be granted to private individuals. 9. The Committee members propose that instead of the traditional cult of the relics (their solemn introduction, location in a chapel/church, etc.) we hold a similar pious event combined with the solemn unveiling of the image of the new Blessed. At some other time (or maybe, even the same day) we may receive (for the duration of 24 or 48 hrs) the traveling reliquary, which would be combined with celebrations in honor of our Blessed. Some Committee members are of the opinion that the latest instructions of the Holy See regarding the cult of the relics go along the lines of the above-proposed new manner.
