University Christmas wafer

God through his coming into the world has divinized human nature - emphasized the Rector of the Catholic University of Lublin, Prof. Mirosław Kalinowski during the wafer meeting and wished that Christmas would make us all aware of this special choice of God. He wished the employees, students and friends of the University that the way of truth, love and goodness of others would prevail in the New Year. He also reminded that good never dies, but always comes back to the one who does it.

Archbishop Stanislaw Budzik referred to the Christmas carol " In Night’s Still Silence” which was performed by the Choir of KUL at the beginning of the Christmas wafer meeting. He drew attention to its deep content, taken from the Gospel about the Nativity of the Lord. Its words are a perfect introduction to the Eucharist during which Christ is born on the altar, the same Christ who was born in Bethlehem centuries ago. The Grand Chancellor of KUL wished that Christ's peace, which has the power to dispel our fears, would reign in human hearts.

During the wafer the representatives of the Choir of KUL, which celebrates its centenary this year, were honored. Papal medals "Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice" were awarded to Dr Grzegorz Pecka, the conductor of the Choir and Zdzisław Cieszkowski, the President of the choir for many years. Traditionally, the awards were also received by outstanding students and PhD students.
