25th Anniversary: Polish Archbishop Attends Roman Rite (Pictures)

Monsignore Józef Kupny, Archbishop of Wrocław attended today a Mass in the Roman rite at the Holy Cross Collegiate Church in Wrocław, Poland. It was the 25th anniversary of the reintroduction of the Roman Mass in Wrocław.

Monsignor Kupny gave the homily and a blessing.

The celebrant, Rev. Ireneusz Bakalarczyk, said that it is impossible to measure the work of God's grace during the past 25 years. He added that the celebration of the Mass in the Roman rite is the “the most beautiful thing this side of heaven”.

And, "The liturgy is beautiful precisely because we ourselves are not the actors in it, but we enter into something greater than ourselves, which embraces us and makes us its own."

Archbishop Kupny dreams of "harmony in the Church between different movements and charisms". He seemingly attacked Catholics: "We cannot close ourselves in our pastoral groups. We must be open."

And, "Let us ask ourselves if we tend to close ourselves in our community or if we allow the Holy Spirit to open us to others".
