"19/12/2024 The situation is such that the priests serving there were informed about it, one of them even touched a wet tear, Sylwia (who took this photo) tried to contact the parish priest in the office, but he is only there on Tuesdays, and on this falls on Christmas Eve and there will be no. In the evening, individual people came to pray, and the cathedral was open longer. The information was further reported by Radio Niepokalanów. I assume that soon there will be some information also from the Archcathedral's website. The tear in Mary's right eye was noticed by the faithful on December 13, 2024, Sylwia took a photo of it with her camera on December 18, 2024, and since then she has been visiting the church between work and in the evenings (also participating in the Holy Mass). On December 19, 2024, the tear no longer flowed, and a wet trace remained on the painting, marking the path of the tear, which can be seen in Sylwia's accounts and this trace remains on December 20, 2024. There is such a grassroots initiative of prayer, being with Mary and rewarding individual believers." #miracles

In the Krosno sanctuary of St. John Paul II addressed the #desecration of the Holy Cross and the door to the exit nest was devastated with a hammer... 😭

Prayer of St. Pio of Pietrelcina after Holy Communion

Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.

Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak
and I need Your strength,
that I may not fall so often.

Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life,
and without You, I am without fervor.

Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light,
and without You, I am in darkness.

Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.

Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice
and follow You.

Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You
very much, and always be in Your company.

Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.

Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is,
I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love.

Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close, and life passes;
death, judgment, eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength,
so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You.

It is getting late and death approaches,
I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows.
O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!

Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all it’s dangers. I need You.

Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread,
so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness,
the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.

Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You,
if not by communion, at least by grace and love.

Stay with me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine consolation, because I do not merit it,
but the gift of Your Presence, oh yes, I ask this of You!

Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more.

With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth
and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen

On social media:

“Fifteen days ago, I received a decision that I have been suspended for five months by the International Judo Federation (IJF) for violating their religious codes. Specifically, for making the sign of the cross before entering the match at the Olympic Games. I am banned from participating in all tournaments, camps, and preparations. The truth is, in my defense letter for the disciplinary process, I did not want to apologize for crossing myself, and of course, I didn’t, nor will I ever, even though I didn’t know how severe the punishment could be. The Lord has given me everything, both personally and for my career, and He is number one for me, and I am proud of that. And that will not change under any circumstances. Glory to Him and thank you for everything. Personally, nothing new for me, just a new chapter in my career and a new life challenge. I’m sorry that such a beautiful and tough sport like judo has come down to things like this. God has given me a great career, seven European and three world medals. When I started, I dreamed of winning at least one major medal to succeed in my life and the life of my family, who sacrificed everything for my career. He gave us so much more, and has indebted me even more than I could bow my head to them when it came to a moment of ‘all or nothing.’ We will rest until then, and then, with the help of our Lord Jesus Christ, we will return to a new beginning and new victories. Love, Nemanja Majdov, your European and world champion,” wrote Nemanja.

My Morning Offering
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, for the salvation of souls, the reparation of sins, the reunion of all Christians, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father this month. Amen.
Quote of the Day
"When we attend to the needs of those in want, we give them what is theirs, not ours. More than performing works of mercy, we are paying a debt of justice."
— Pope Saint Gregory the Great
Today’s Meditation
"Scripture offers us a look at the fruits we can expect as we grow closer to God: charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, forbearance, gentleness, faith, modesty, self-control, and chastity. Cut off from him, we rely on our own well to refresh our souls rather than the un-depletable wellspring available to us as sons and daughters of our eternal Father. We cannot understand who we really are without reference to him who is both the cause and the purpose of our lives, physically and spiritually. We are called to communion with him and this is a process of continually conforming our will to his." –Carrie Gress and Noelle Mering, p.66
