MOTHER SETON COUNCIL 6724

{Webmaster note -I asked Father Domek if he could share with us some insights on the inspiration of the brave Catholics of Poland who endured such persecution under the communists.  Here is what he shared:}

 " I think many of you wonder how it was possible for us to endure so much persecution from the communist government.   Along with Mother Teresa of Calcutta we may ask the following: What is the mightiest power in the world?  We know the answer is FAITH.   The Acts of the Apostles show us how the Christians of the primitive Church were able to persevere in the way of Christ.   Everything was done through FAITH, which is the source of strength and gives energy for us to follow in the way of the Church.

Throughout the centuries in Poland, FAITH has been a stabilizing power in living united with Christ and His Church.   This power has been developed within the Family.   The Family became the first Church where parents, children and young people have received and obtained a great model of how to live and practice the Catholic FAITH.   The polish people always remained steadfast amidst the Communist persecutions.   In union with the Church, they always defended their dignity and identity.  They were fully aided by the superb ministry of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski and by the beautiful attitude of Cardinal Karol Wojtyla.    

Today, the Polish people continue to grow as a Church family so that the Truth of Salvation of the Risen Christ will reach their new generation and illuminate the path of the new evangelization of the third Millennium of the Catholic Church.   I hope this short reflection will be of some good to you.   I wish much Peace and Blessings for you and your Family.   Greetings, Father Kazimierz Domek"
