For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed, for He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on them who fear Him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with His arm, He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts, He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree; He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent empty away. He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy, as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and His posterity forever. This song of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Magnificat, filled as it is with references to the Bible of her people, the Jews, perfectly indicates both her piety and her humility. She was singing her joy at being chosen to bear the Son of God. Hail, favored one, the Lord is with you, were the words of the angel Gabriel, announcing this. He told her not to fear, since she had found favor with God, would conceive and bear a son, to be called Jesus. Puzzled, Mary asked how this could be, since she knew no man. Gabriel replied, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God, Mary answered, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be to me according to your word.

5 Gorzkie Żale Lenten Lamentations The Ancient chants retracing the Passion and Crucifixion of Christ form the essence of this typically Polish weekly Lenten service that takes its name from the words of the hymn, "Gorzkie żale przybywajcie" (Come to us, bitter lamentations). Many Poles know the texts of the entire three-part cycle by heart. The Gorzkie Żale [gosh-geh-zahlleh] began in Warsaw's Holy Cross Church during the 1700s. The devotion incorporates prose and verse, chant and reading, prayer and meditation, inviting participants to reflect on the mystery of Christian redemption, the Passion and death of the Christ. This deep appreciation for the Passion is seen in the most popular Polish image of Christ, Chrystus Frasobliwy, the socalled "sorrowing Christ," which depicts Christ in the Garden, bent in prayer and sorrow. The Lamentations highlight the very emotional nature of Polish spirituality, inviting a personal identification with the Suffering Lord and His Mother. The devotion is most often preceded by Benediction and chanted kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament. The Lamentations take the shape of a three-part cycle; one part is sung each service. Each of the three parts has a parallel form and structure, with repeated musical motifs. The text changes from one part to the next. All three parts begin with the same Introductory Hymn. These same invocations, from which the title Gorzkie Żale is taken, set the truly somber and grieving mood for the lamentations. The opening lines intone: "Gorzkie żale przybywajcie" (Come to us, bitter lamentations), "Serca nasze przenikajcie" (as we prepare our hearts) encourage us to identify with Jesus suffering. Gorzkie Żale (during Lent) Sunday 3:00pm. Starodawne i monotonne śpiewy o Męce Pańskiej i Ukrzyżowaniu Chrystusa tworzą istotę tego typowo polskiego nabożeństwa wielkopostnego, którego nazwa pochodzi od słów hymnu, "Gorzkie żale przybywajcie". Wielu Polaków zna teksty trzech części na pamięć. Gorzkie żale swoim początkiem sięgają 18 wieku i Kościoła Św. Krzyża w Warszawie. Nabożeństwo z tekstem pisanym prozą i wierszem, śpiewane i czytane z modlitwą i medytacją zachęca uczestników do refleksji nad tajemnicą chrześcijańskiego odkupienia orazmęki i śmierci Jezusa. Ta głęboka cześć dla Męki Pańskiej jest ukazana w popularnym polskim obrazie Chrystusa, Chrystusa Frasobliwego, zwanego "Cierpiącym Chrystusem," pochylonym w modlitwie i smutku. Gorzkie żale ukazują bardzo emocjonalną naturę polskiej duchowości, zapraszając do osobistej identyfikacji z Cierpiącym Panem i Jego Matką. To nabożeństwo jest najczęściej poprzedzone przez Wprowadzenie i śpiew, klęcząc przed Najświętszym Sakramentem. Gorzkie Żale mają kształt trzyczęściowego cyklu; każda część jest śpiewana podczas każdego nabożeństwa. Każda z trzech części ma równoległą formę i strukturę, z powtórzonymi motywami muzycznymi. Zmienia się tylko tekst i jest inny w każdej części. Wszystkie trzy części zaczynają się ale mają ten sam Hymn na Wprowadzenie. To samo Wprowadzenie, od którego pochodzi tytuł Gorzkie żale, wprowadza nas w atmosferę smutku i cierpienia. Pierwsze wersy: "Gorzkie ale przybywajcie" "Serca nasze przenikajcie" zachęcają nas do bliskości z cierpieniem Jezusa
