| Ceremony of April 27, 2002 in the Sainte Marie Church |
| In April 1972,
was created the Eglise Sainte Marie de Paris of the Old-catholic Mariavite
Church, Province of France.
From the beginning, the Chapelle Sainte Marie of the 7 rue Aubriot in Paris 4th was too small, taking into account the number of the faithful ones. It is only in 1997 that we could acquire the building of an old school to the 47 rue de l'Echiquier in Paris, 10th. |
| The Dedication of the Sainte Marie
Church took place on September 27, 1998, by
Mgr Zdzizlaw
Maria Wlodzimierz JAWORSKI, Bishop-Primacy, assisted of Mgr
Antoni Maria Roman NOWAK, of
Mgr Michal
Maria Ludwik JABLONSKI and Mgr Marie
André le BEC, surrounded of Fathers
LUKAS,
WIESLAW and GRZEGORZ and of the
Father Bernard VIGNOT, Priest of Old Catholic of the Union of
Utrecht.
April 27, 2002, we celebrated the thirtieth birthday of the foundation of the Sainte Marie de Paris in the presence of Mgr Zdzizlaw Maria Wlodzimierz JAWORSKI, Bishop-Primacy and of Mgr Marie André le BEC, Bischop of the province de France. |

| Thanks
to the Blessed Sacrament
First of all, I would like to thank Monseigneur
André le Bec for having invited us to this beautiful ceremony. Thirty
years ago (1972), by the thanksgiving of the Holy Spirit, you decided with
our brother Mgr. André le Bec, which is your Bishop, to constitute
a parish community. The purpose of each community of faithful is mainly
to thank our Lord and to help itself in our terrestrial pilgrimage in order
to improve its life, to grow and to continue spiritually. Your common prayer,
as well as the sacrifices and the perseverance of your Bishop in his work
give splendid fruits in the life of your very whole community and in the
life of each member.

Mgr Wlodzimierz Jaworski |
| I am pleased to
have you as Province of France forming integral part of the Old-catholic
Mariavite Church. Please accept on behalf of all our bishops, our priests
and all the faithful ones of the Old-catholic Mariavite Church in Poland,
our most sincere wishes of generous divine graces and our fraternal greetings
coming from the deepest of our hearts.
That resurected Christ grants you his joy
and shows you the right way which tends to its kingdom.

Dear
Brothers and Sisters, Our Lord showed us and always shows us his Love,
this Love which made it become man, to take its nature - to become our
Brother.
It is to deliver us from our sins that It obeyed God His Father, that it suffered and that he died on the cross. The Love for men made him celebrating the eucharistie the day of the Holy Thursday with Holy Last Supper, when he blessed the bread and the wine while saying: "This is my flesh, this is my blood, take it, eat and drink". Then Jesus extended his presence on earth among us. He hid his divinity in the humble shapes of the bread and the wine in order not to frighten the men by his majestic presence. Then at the time of the Holy Mass, the priest
pronounces the words of Christ "This is my Flesh, this is my Blood",
the bread and the wine are transformed into Flesh and Blood of Christ.
When we take the Holy Communion, we accept the Flesh and the Blood of Our
Lord. With such a veneration and such a love, us should do it!
God offers his Mercy that man can accept or reject. When there are enough people on earth to beseech God, to venerate Christ present in Eucharistie and the Mother of God in the whole world, all men will receive the Divine mercy. Two cities of the Old Will which we know: Sodome and Gomorrhe would not have been destroyed, if ten true people had been found.there. |
| And now, God asks for a sufficient number of the faithful ones who implore him so that the world is saved. Those who God called with the mariavitism have the chance to be elected but they have also a great obligation and an enormous responsibility in front of God. Thus continue like the first Christians and the first mariavites, follow their example of the Christian life filled of a deep faith and a true piety. |

Mgr Jaworski and the Antoni Father |
The world which continuously is given to us is affected by sudden shocks and new threats caused by the natural elements violent which break out as cataclysms such as earthquakes, floods, landslides in the mountains, dangerous fires. Various diseases, wars between nations and lately terrorism deprived man of its sense of security. Some presidents of state even officially said that nobody in the world is in safety against this last phenomenon. With us, the men of faith, our God gives the sense
of security. Jesus Christ announced: When you hear this appalling news,
"dont't
be afraid, stand up straight and raise your heads, because your delivery
is close". While a psalmist says: Blessed those who put their hope
in God.
|
| .Jesus revealed
to our Founder: "Peace for the whole world if it receives Mercy".
May the Prince of Peace keep your thoughts and
your hearts!
Monseigneur Wlodzimierz
Jaworski

| Homélie de Mgr. André le Bec |
| Monseigneur
l'Evêque -Primat, dear Brothers Priest, dear Brothers and Sisters.
Today we are joined together for thanksgiving, a prayer of thanks and in praise of God for these 30 years - a prayer of recognition coming from deepest of our hearts, for all the favours received during these years. |

Mgr André le Bec |
The
aims fixed at the time of the Foundation of our Sainte Marie de Paris,
in April 1972, remain the same ones: TO SPREAD the good news of Jesus
Christ - Word of God proclaimed in order to reconcile humanity with
God by the Faith in Christ. We see the power of this Good News working
in the first community of Jerusalem: They were faithful listening the Apostles
and living in fraternal communion, breaking the Bread and taking part in
the Prayers (Acts 2,42).
That is the heart of the Church life, the Fruit of the Evangelisation, with a sacral order, given by Jesus himself, which we find in Marc 8,2: "I feel pity for this Crowd".Yes, while bringing to the men of our time, the BREAD of the Love of God and his Mercy - To be an instrument of this Divine mercy in the life of those who suffer in their body and Soul. |
| In
his speech in Assise, in January 2002, the Pope Jean-Paul II clearly recalled
that people who believe in God have to make the GOOD, to work to
relieve human suffering, "in all his Forms".
The Church, the Churches, have to be always: Sign, Instrument and Witness of this Love of God for Men. By his death on the Golgotha, Jesus showed in his flesh the marks of the Divine Passion for humanity. |
| Then
let us ask God to be always faithful to our Mission, in fidelity to the
Holy Spirit.
May Marie, Mother of Jesus and Mother of the Church, intercedes for us. She is not less present in the Church of today, than she was at the Pentecost, when with the Apostles, all, were gathered in Prayer (AC 1,14). By her intercession and her Presence, she, who is the patron of our Parish, will not fail to support our Mission like she always supported us in the past. In the times of difficulty and suffering, Marie was always a refuge for those who sought PEACE and RECOVERY. |
| In
our Church, her image, her statue, recalls her affectionate presence and
motherly Protection.
Jesus Christ, whom she feeded in his centre, was born a new world, where Justice and Mercy meet, a World of Freedom and PEACE. |
| By
the Cross and the Resurrection of Christ, God reconciled the world with
him and he made of the Lord Jesus, the Prince of PEACE for all Times
and all the Places.
May Marie, Queen of Peace, help the people of World to share this PEACE. With the paddle of the 3rd Christian Millenium, may true justice and harmony be the gift that God gives to the Churches and all the Nations of the World. I recommend all of you to the maternal solicitude of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, in the absolute confidence that she always listens with an attentive ear, she always widely opens her heart and that her Prayer is always granted.

le Bec
