Lest You Remain

P ROGRAM OF V IGILS B EFORE THE B EATIFICATION OF F R . F OUNDER Dear Confreres, The “Program of Vigils” is prepared for the 12-month period and embraces all Marian communities. It also shows the community’s designated day of the month in every month and the appropriate liturgical texts for an hour-long meditation/ado- ration, our guiding principle being that every community should hold a prayerful vigil once a month on the designated day. Please make sure that the “vigil” takes place on your designated day/night. Naturally, if one month it should become dif- ficult to accomplish it is better to move it to another day than to abandon your turn altogether. The vigils’ outlines are prepared by Fr. Dr Maciej Zachara, M.I.C., a Liturgist. However, it is possible for a community to hold this prayerful meeting in a different way, should they wish so. The important part is to hold the vigil regularly, on the des- ignated day. It is understood that a community may hold on this day their monthly day of recollection. The Polish translation of Fr. Founder’s writings is the fruit of work of Frs. W. Mako>, M.I.C., R. Pi"tka , M.I.C., and C. Krzyzanowski, M.I.C. Fr. Andrzej Paku = a, M.I.C.
