KTO ZA, A KTO PRZECIW?
        Za czasow, ktore wielu z nas wspomina jako
nieciekawe i niesłuszne, uczono nas, iz to, co nam w szkole

prawdziwe, i ze musimy o tym pamiętac, by nie miec

zwracac większą uwagę zarowno na słowa, jak i na ludzi,
ktorzy je głoszą. Tym, co stanowi podstawę naszego zycia,
jest nasza wiara i Słowa Pana, nie tylko wypowiadane w

swiętych, ale rowniez przekazywane nam przez prorokow,
zarowno tych starozytnych, jak i wspołczesnych, ktorzy
posiłkując się Tradycją i Pismem pragną nas
ewangelizowac. Lecz wezmy pod rozwagę to, co mowi Pan:

wypowie w moim imieniu, Ja od niego zaządam zdania
sprawy. Lecz jesli ktory prorok odwazy się mowic w moim              SS. Peter and Paul Parish Celebrates

The texts for the Holy Mass can be found in the Pan z Wami Prayer Book, beginning on page 93 (Polish) and page 94 (English)

                                   Offertory Hymn—Beautiful Savior (English Mass)

                                  Offertory Hymn—Kłaniam Sie Tobie (Polish Mass)
                         1. Kłaniam się Tobie, Przedwieczny Boze, ktorego niebo pojąc nie moze;
                     Ja, proch mizerny, przed Twą moznoscią z wojskiem Aniołow klękam z radoscią.

                         2. Tu Stworcę mego wiarą wyznaję, kocham serdecznie, pokłon oddaję,
                     Cieszę się wielce z Twej Boskiej chwały, niech Ci się kłania z niebem swiat cały.

                          3. Dziękuję za to, zes się zostawił w tym Sakramencie, abys nas zbawił.
                            Za Twoje łaski tu wyswiadczone odbieraj od nas serca skruszone.

                            Communion Hymn—Panis Angelicus (English & Polish Mass)

                              O resmirabilis manducat Dominum, pauper, servus, et humilis.

                           2. Te, trina Deitas unaque, poscimus sic nos tu vísta, sicutte colimus;
                            Per tuas semitas duc nos quo tendimus, ad lucem quam inhabitas.

  (Translation: Bread of Angels, made the bread of men; the Bread of heaven puts an end to all symbols: A thing wonderful!
  The Lord becomes our food: poor, a servant, and humble. We beseech Thee, Godhead One in Three that Thou wilt visit us,
