Sweating blood may sound unbelievable, but “God's Will Be Done.” there actually is a rare medical condition where a person The Garden of Gethsemane was located at the base of sweats blood under extreme distress or fear of impending the Mount of Olives which, despite its name, was more of suffering or death.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See POPE JOHN PAUL II GENERAL AUDIENCE Wednesday, 18 June 1997 Historic celebrations marked Polish visit 1. I would like to begin today’s meeting by telling you about the recent pilgrimage to Poland which divine Providence gave me the opportunity to make. There were three principal reasons for this Pastoral Visit: the International Eucharistic Congress in Wroclaw, the 1,000th anniversary of St Adalbert’s martyrdom and the 600th anniversary of the foundation of the Jagiellonian University of Kraków. These events were the nucleus of the whole itinerary, which from 31 May to 10 June included Wroclaw, Legnica, Gorzów, Wielkopolski, Gniezno, Poznañ, Kalisz, Czêstochowa, Zakopane, LudŸmierz, Kraków, Dukla and Krosno, concentrating on three great cities: Wroclaw, the site of the 46th International Eucharistic Congress, Gniezno, a city linked with the death of St Adalbert, and Kraków, where the Jagiellonian University was founded. 2. The 46th International Eucharistic Congress in Wroclaw began on Trinity Sunday, 25 May, with the Eucharistic celebration presided at by my Legate, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Secretary of State. A rich spiritual and liturgical programme filled the entire week, centring on the main theme: “For freedom Christ has set us free” (Gal 5:1). The Lord enabled me to take part in the conclusion of the work and so, on the last day of May, I was able to venerate Christ in the Eucharist, adoring him in the cathedral of Wroclaw together with people who had come from all over the world. That same day I took part in an ecumenical prayer service with representatives of the Churches and Ecclesial Communities.

  • Call to Holiness
    Call to Holiness June 2014 Bulletin Supplement Catholic saints are holy people and human people who lived extraordinary lives. Each saint the Church honors responded to God's invitation to use his or her unique gifts. God calls each one of us to be a saint. June 1: Saint Justin (d. 165) Justin never ended his quest for religious truth even when he converted to Christianity after years of studying various pagan philosophies. As a young man, he was principally attracted to the school of Plato. However, he found that the Christian religion answered the great questions about life and existence better than the philosophers. Upon his conversion he continued to wear the philosopher's mantle, and became the first Christian philosopher. He combined the Christian religion with the best elements in Greek philosophy. In his view, philosophy was a pedagogue of Christ, an educator that was to lead one to Christ. Justin is known as an apologist, one who defends in writing the Christian religion against the attacks and misunderstandings of the pagans. Two of his so-called apologies have come down to us; they are addressed to the Roman emperor and to the Senate. For his staunch adherence to the Christian religion, Justin was beheaded in Rome in 165. June 2: Saints Marcellinus and Peter (d. 304) Marcellinus and Peter were prominent enough in the memory of the Church to be included among the saints of the Roman Canon. Mention of their names is optional in our present Eucharistic Prayer I. Marcellinus was a priest and Peter was an exorcist, that is, someone authorized by the Churh to deal with cases of demonic possession.

  • Religious Tourism in Areas of Environmental Value in Poland
    EKONOMIA I ŚRODOWISKO • 2 (61) • 2017 Franciszek MRÓZ RELIGIOUS TOURISM IN AREAS OF ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE IN POLAND Franciszek Mróz, PhD – Pedagogical University of Cracow Correspondence address: Institute of Geography ul. Podchorazych 2; 30-084 Krakow e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRCT: The study presents pilgrimage sites located in environmentally valuable areas – the areas subject to two forms of nature protection in Poland, i.e. national parks and natural landscape parks. The purpose of the paper is to present, in quantitative terms, shrines in the protected areas of Poland and to analyse the scale and forms of tourism relating to these sites. The subject of the research includes only shrines of the Roman Catholic Church. A descriptive-analytic method, a dynamic-com- parative method, as well as statistical methods were used to present the study results. Over 70 of more than 830 shrines that operate in Poland nowadays are located in areas of nature protected by legislation. At present, in the area of nine Polish national parks, there are twelve shrines and pilgrimage sites that are frequently visited by pilgrims and tourists traveling for religious or reli- gious and cognitive reasons. Nowadays, in the area of Polish natural landscape parks (with buffer zones), there are more than 60 shrines.

Many members were involved at the local and national levels preparing for the event and during WYD itself. K of C councils were instrumental in numerous parish-based WYD activities as well as larger programs. Of particular note is the “Ticket for a Brother” initiative, which raised funds for pilgrims from the former Soviet republics who could not afford to come to Poland without financial assistance. Our Lady of Częstochowa Queen of Poland Council 14004 in Radom, for example, financed the pilgrimage for 50 young people from Ukraine. Among the fruits of this initiative were closer cooperation between Polish and Ukrainian Knights and the friendship between the WYD pilgrims and Polish host families. During the week of World Youth Day, Knights of Columbus volunteers served at several key locations. In addition to the K of C-sponsored Mercy Centre, members served at Cracovia Stadium and worked with the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy at the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in nearby Łagiewniki, which was visited by 1.5 million pilgrims that week. “The involvement of the Knights of Columbus in the work of World Youth Day was a great gift, both for the organizers of the meeting, its participants, as well as for the whole Church in Poland,” said Father Grzegorz Suchodolski, general secretary of the Organizing Committee of World Youth Day.

  • Charitable Work of the Church in the Polish Lands in the Xix Century and Its Impact on Education
    Journal of Vasyl Stefanyk PrecarpathianCharitable National W Universityork of the Church in the Polish Lands in the XIX century… 129 http://journals.pnu.edu.ua Vol. 7, No. 1 (2020 ), 129 - 133 UDC 378(09)(477.4/7)37.014.543 doi: 10.15330/jpnu.7.1.129-133 CHARITABLE WORK OF THE CHURCH IN THE POLISH LANDS IN THE XIX CENTURY AND ITS IMPACT ON EDUCATION LESZEK AFTYKA, PIOTR MAZUR Abstract. The Catholic Church in the Polish lands in the XIX century has had numerous charity works. The charitable activities were seen as the task of God's commandment of love. The purpose of this activity was to support poor people in the form of satisfying basic material needs and achieving adequate personal development. The article discusses the most important forms of assistance provided by religious orders, as well as clerical and lay organizations. The author draws attention to the charity's impact on education and the formation of humanistic values in society. Many priests set up organisations that had such names as: “Star”, “Aurora”, “Fatherland”, “Rock”. Their main objective was to raise up education standards and stimulate patriotism and solidarity among young people. Therefore, cooperation between educational institutions, families, non- governmental organizations, volunteer movements, charitable foundations for the expansion of active charitable activities, and the creation of a humanistic society is required. Nowadays it is extremely important to revive philanthropy and altruism in every country. Currently, there are foundations, organizations aimed at carrying out charitable activities and attracting to the charity all who wish to serve the cause of raising Christian morality, culture, education, art, support of the poor.
