Lady Czestochowa
The Day We Met Blessed Pope John Paul IICopyright (c) 2011 Bob and Penny Lord's Site In the Spring of 1994, the four of us from Holy Family Mission had just arrived in Rome for an audience with Blessed Pope John Paul II. We had antecedently been traveling allround Poland gathering info and taping the lives of the Polish Saints and Martyrs. Saints like Faustina Kowalska and Martyrs like Blessed Jerzy Popieluszko and the Nuns of Nowogrodek were portion of the schedule. In addition we had traveled allround Poland and Lithuania gathering selective information on Shrines like Our Lady of Czestochowa and Saint Maximilian Kolbe. We even had the fortunate experience to go to Mass with President Lech Walesa in his private chapel for the duration of the trip. While we were there we had an audience with Cardinal Glemp, the Primate of Poland and he told us a lot regarding the Polish persons and his friend Pope John Paul II. We traveled to Wadowice and assembled data with regards to the early years of Pope John Paul II. Subsequently, we made a documentary on his life. Cardinal Glemp explained how Blessed Pope John Paul understood the soul of the Polish people and also understood the workings and minds of the Soviet enforcers. One peculiar account comes to mind to without doubt or question point out the circumstance at that time. John Paul as the Cardinal of Kradow was kept up to date with regards to the plans of the authorities in regards to his flock. On one occasion, he was informed that the authorities wanted to reduce the number of Catholic Churches in Poland by 50%. So John Paul developed a plan. He without delay asked for a meeting with the top level authorities to talk when it comes to the Catholic Churches in Poland. The authorities were jubilant - those in charge believed this would be their probability to accomplish the goal. At the get started of the meeting John Paul without delay asked for an further and added 1000 Catholic Churches to be built right away. The authorities were furious and did what they were taught to do by the Soviets - compromise! They negotiated John Paul down to 500 further and added Catholic Churches to be built! Blessed John Paul was a talent and the authorities thought they won that battle! We want to share one more story and then we will get back to the audience: This account will give you great incites into the Polish mindset. The Catholics in Czestochowa wanted to have a procession with the effigy of Our Lady of Czestochowa. The authorities did not want to permit the procession, but likewise knew they had to obey the laws. Next the Catholics petitioned the authorities for a permit to procedure the Image in the back of a truck. The authorities were jubilant again, and this time they issued the permit, then refused to permit a driver for the truck. The Catholics merely placed two huge wooden poles underneath the truck and carried the truck with the Image of Our Lady of Czestochowa processing through the streets as planned. Now back to the audience. We had arranged to be in the Polish group for the audience and were very excessively affected emotionally with the Archbishop asked us to step out of the crowd and go to a particular place where Pope John Paul II would greet each one of us individually. Our most unforgettable moment is when he spoke to each one of us individually. He told the four of us to proceed to make television programs for Mother Angelica and EWTN Eternal Word Global Television Network. He stated that television and media was very important. He stated over and over how primary television and media was and we responded that we would heed his advice. Since then we have invented over 200 television ready programs and to this day we carry on with that commitment. The meeting was in a literal sense out of this world! Wow!! We were never the same after that, we were more determined that ever to get the word out through the media.

WIll 2008 be the greatest holy pilgrimage to see Our Lady of Czestochowa? Now that the schengen visa is open to Eastern Europe, there will be galore pilgrims to Jasna Gora. Who will go? Any host family more than willing to accomodate a pilgrim? When is the actual feastday, August 15 , the Assumption, or on August 26, of the Black Madonna? don't recognise when it comes to the dates but you ought to have no problem finding a place to stay. the pilgrims commonly stay in churches or local schools or in homes of families along the way. and yeah, i guess becaouse of schengen it will be requiring little effort for for humans to go but i do not recognise if that will actually increase the number of pilgrims. |
