Lest You Remain

which is being celebrated throughout the Congregation. The Committee proposes the day of May 18 th . The final decision will be made by the Gene- ral Government following appropriate consultations, which will include those with the Congregation for the Saints; e) To send a petition to the Congregation, asking to include Fr. Papczy<ski ’s memorial in the liturgical calendar of our Congregation; we could also approach the Bishop of Tarnów with a proposal of introducing this memo- rial as obligatory for his Diocese and to the Primate of Poland—for the Archdiocese of Warsaw; 2. Exhumation — in accordance with a suggestion made by competent parties, efforts to obtain permission for an exhumation will be made after the positive opin- ion of the Ordinary Session of the Cardinals and Bishops of the Congregation for the Saints is given. The relics will be divided into parts specifically assigned already during this exhumation (upon the power of the Ordinary): i.e., for a reli- quary for the Beatification Mass, for the place of burial, for each of our Provinces and chapels; for the Dioceses of E = k, Tarnów, etc. It is necessary to have a larger number of relics bearing in mind future needs. NOTE: Since 300 years passed from the death of Fr. Papczy < ski, during which time his coffin sustained different vicis- situdes (including its extraction from marshy grounds), we do not know if it still contains usable remnants, and if it does, could they be possibly used for the above- mentioned reliquaries? We shall know the answer as soon as we open the coffin, and we shall inform all the confreres about it. This task lies within the competen- cies of the General Postulator, Fr. W. Skóra. 3.During the Beatification, a reliquary with relics of the Blessed is tradition- ally carried in a procession; thus, it needs to be ready beforehand. We need: a) a reliquary for the Beatification Mass, person in charge—Postulator General; b) a reliquary for Marianki. Nearly all members of the General Committee believe that we shall have this reliquary placed in the niche of the existing sar- cophagus; having this niche illuminated, etc. this reliquary will replace the former one. The Committee do not think advisable to move the reliquary either on top of the sarcophagus or on/at the foot of the altar. The Committee propose to prepare one/several projects of the reliquary placement inside the sarcophagus. The General Government in close consultation with the Divine Providence Province, which has the honor of being the custodian of our Founder’s relic, will make the decision. c) medium-size reliquaries for our churches/chapels, person in charge— Postulator General; L EST Y OU R EMAIN W ITHOUT W ORK IN THE V INEYARD OF THE L ORD 22
