Touching Message From A Stranger

I was deeply touched by the Facebook message from Mr Adam Gryczyński I found at night in my inbox, suggesting to visit the link he attached. It was a photo of my Mum picking up flowers on a meadow near the Nowa Huta steel works, with a quote from her testimony of those early days of the becoming Nowa Huta. For the non-Polish speaking readers, I suggest to use Google translator (in the right sidebar). I feel very emotional, finding it difficult to keep tears from flowing... Thank you, Mr Adam, for sharing with me, with us, this treasure.

Demonstrate Your Faith

Saint Jacob Apostle in his letter which is quoted in today's Second Reading of the Liturgy of the Word of the Twenty  Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time Cycle B, writes the following profound words:

"What good is it, my brothers and sisters,
if someone says he has faith but does not have works? 
Can that faith save him? 
If a brother or sister has nothing to wear
and has no food for the day,
and one of you says to them,
"Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well, "
but you do not give them the necessities of the body,
what good is it?
So also faith of itself,
if it does not have works, is dead.

Indeed someone might say,
"You have faith and I have works."
Demonstrate your faith to me without works,and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works." (Jas 2:14-18)
