After a one year pause due to pandemics, the tradition of Easter Basket Blessing returned to five local churches. In Our Lady Queen of Peace, the ceremony took place at the main altar and featured two unexpected, but appreciated accents (thank you to Father Rich Litzau (O.P.): It started to the tune of Polish anthem and ended with A Polish Prayer quoted below.
A Polish Prayer
May your heart be as patient as the earth,
Your love as warm as harvest gold.
May your days be full as the city is full,
Your nights as joyful as dancers.
May your arms be as welcoming as home.
May your face be as enduring as God's love,
Your spirit as valiant as your heritage.
May your hands be as sure as a friend's,
Your dreams as hopeful as a child's.
May your soul be as brave as your people
And may you be blessed.
