Memorial of Saint Siter Faustina, 5th of October

Today is a special occasion of the death of Sister Faustina! What do you know about the God’s Mercy most dedicated apostle?

Do you remeber she was one of the patrons on WYD in Cracow?

[krakow2016]

Thank you! World Youth Day is back for you! Thanks for your prayers and your support. WYD wouldn't have been without you.

God is not looking for heroic figures, wonderful people who captivate others with their charisma. It must have been quite baffling to the educated world when Jesus pronounced, “Blessed are the poor in spirit.” Blessed are the simple and those with limited education who do not want to understand everything with their intellect. Blessed are they who do not always think they have to put themselves forward to show how smart they are. Blessed are they who do not theorize about heavenly things. Blessed are they who keep to the way that is shown them, whatever life brings.

Saint Mother Teresa - pray for us! You are the new face of volunteerism!

Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, you allowed the thirsting love of Jesus on the Cross to become a living flame within you, and so became the light of His love to all. Obtain from the Heart of Jesus (here make your request). 

Teach me to allow Jesus to penetrate and possess my whole being so completely that my life, too, may radiate His light and love to others. Amen. Immaculate Heart of Mary, Cause of Our Joy, pray for me. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, pray for me.

How was it on World Youth day - you ask...

Well...it was an adventure worth take. It was an experience worth get to know with. It was a joy and energy worth see.

It was inspiration worth hear, smiles worth see, and love worth discover.

Finally, it was the God. It was the God worth meet in every single person each of us has met during the WYD. 

It was a great reminder of Who is our Leader, and that he seeks for each of us.

Now, almost 3 weeks after WYD we are going to show you how it was...

Videos, photos, testimonies, speeches... - expect the series soon :)

Gdzie jest Bóg? Gdzie jest Bóg, jeśli na świecie istnieje zło, jeśli są ludzie głodni, spragnieni, bezdomni, wygnańcy, uchodźcy? Gdzie jest Bóg, gdy niewinni ludzie umierają z powodu przemocy, terroryzmu, wojen? Gdzie jest Bóg, kiedy bezlitosne choroby zrywają więzy życia i miłości? Albo, gdy dzieci są wyzyskiwane, poniżane i kiedy także one cierpią z powodu poważnych patologii? Gdzie jest Bóg w obliczu niepokoju wątpiących i dusz strapionych? Istnieją takie pytania, na które nie ma żadnych ludzkich odpowiedzi. Możemy tylko spojrzeć na Jezusa i Jego zapytać. A odpowiedź Jezusa jest następująca: Bóg jest w nich, Jezus jest w nich, cierpi w nich, głęboko utożsamiony z każdym z nich. Jest on tak zjednoczony z nimi, że tworzy prawie jedno ciało.

Papież Franciszek do młodych w trakcie drogi krzyżowej na krakowskich Błoniach (via wciaz-wierze)

“Where is God? Where is God, when there is an evil in the world, where there are starving, thirsty, homeless, outcast, refugee? Where is God when innocent people are being killed by violence, terrorism, war? Where is God when the merciless disease breaks the bonds of life and love? Or when the children are abused, humiliated, and suffer from several deviations? Where is God in the face of doubtful’s anxiety and distressed souls? There are so many questions existed that have no human answers. All we can do is to look on Jesus and ask Him. And His answers is: God is in them! Jesus is in suffering people, suffers in them, He is identified with each of them deeply. Jesus is as much united with them that they create just one body!”
