Hilarious, Inspirational, Sarcastic, Deep - All In One Blog

Just to share with you my light moment that occurred right now when I stumbled upon a Tumblr blog of one theologian with a deep and hilarious sense of humor. Posting amazing gifs in his blog which make me crack, laugh, enjoy and at the same time they make me think, inspire me and give food for thought. Obviously, it is not intended for stiff people with no sense of humor who get offended easily on religious basis. Hope you are not one of them, otherwise do not click here!

Laki Moja

In Swahili, 'Laki Moja' means one hundred thousand. I have noticed that the pageviews of my blog have just exceeded this number. I am not sure if my readers come here by mistake or led by simple curiosity, googling, searching for something they look for or they come on purpose. It does not matter to me, to be honest. I am deeply grateful to each and everyone of you for coming and being a part of my life and my work.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I pray for each and everyone of you and for all intentions dear to your hearts, as a token of my appreciation and gratitude.

As I wish to continue writing and sharing with you in this place, I ask you to continue with our journey together. God bless you much!

Deep Ocean Diving

Back home in Kiabakari, feeling on the very first day after return as if I dived deep down into the ocean of issues and troubles forcing me immediately to switch to the full working and combat mode. Pity it did not rain since I left for Poland some six weeks ago. Everything has changed so dramatically since then. I left the place green and lush. I found it upon my return dull, dusty, gray and yellow. Trouble, big trouble with water supply for our development projects which I commenced before I left. Guys did a great job anyway and things are moving forward in a decent pace, though they admit if not the water problem, they would be much farther ahead in the construction process. Still, I am impressed! Yesterday I spent most time discussing water issue with relevant authorities. Today we started digging out all pipelines to see who has been connected to our water lines and to make sure everything is in proper order. If I cannot solve the problem with steady supply of water from village pipeline, then I will be forced to use the option of water tanker supplying water from the nearby creek. This will be very costly and I do hope we can avoid it. Let's see what happens in these few days.

Here are some pictures (click here) I took yesterday on my tour of construction site which I posted on Foundation Kiabakari Facebook profile. As always, I count very much on your kind prayers!

Houston, we've got a problem! Water!!!

Visitation - Farewell Pictures

Here is the link to the pictures from the farewell Mass for visiting image of Divine Mercy and Holy Relics of Divine Mercy Apostles - St. Sister Faustina and Bl. John Paul II in our St. Kazimierz parish in Grzegórzki - Kraków. It was a blessed and intense time, full of prayer and spiritual power.

Visitation - Images

Here are images from the arrival of the Divine Mercy Image and Holy Relics of St. Sister Faustina and Bl. John Paul II in our parish of St. Kazimierz and the first Mass presided by His Excellency rt. Rev. Bishop Grzegorz Ryś, the auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Kraków and my classmate. Click here.

Doors Wide Open

In a few hours the doors of Divine Mercy will fly wide open for the community of the faithful of St. Kazimierz parish. My home parish. After the week-long parochial retreat and three days of communal prayers and preparations for the visitation of the Divine Mercy image along with the holy relics of the Divine Mercy Apostles - St. Faustina and Bl. John Paul II, we are ready to welcome the Merciful Lord at Grzegórzki. I look forward to this profound spiritual experience. Starting with 6pm Holy Mass and ending tomorrow with 4.30pm farewell Mass, this will be 24 hours period of intense presence of Divine Mercy in our parish. Merciful Lord comes to respond to our faith, hope and love. He comes to allow us to enter His Ocean of Divine Mercy to find consolation, light, power, resolve. A genuine Spring of the Holy Spirit in our parish. The new Pentecost. Rest assured, I will pray for you and all your needs in this exceptional time of grace.

Teaspoons Not Allowed!

Ninth Sunday of the Ordinary Time is the opportune time for our parochial community at St. Kazimierz in Kraków's Grzegórzki to give thanks to the Lord for the wonderful spiritual journey of our parochial week-long retreat which ended last evening. In front of us three special days of preparations for the visitation of the Sacred Image of Divine Mercy accompanied by the holy relics of the greatest Apostles of Divine Mercy - Saint Sister Faustina and Blessed John Paul II. I spoke about the importance of these three days in my today's homily, asking people to open up completely in trust to Divine Mercy. Divine Mercy is not a syrup which we drink in teaspoons. Nope. If you want to please the Lord, come to Him with trust the size of largest bucket you can afford to carry. The text of the homily in Polish below. Use Google translator on top of the right sidebar to read in your language, please. Have a blessed Sunday!

Retreat - Saturday - Last Day Texts

Finally, we have arrived to the last day of our week-long retreat. Thanks be to God for this amazing time. Here are texts from today's morning and evening final Masses. Thank you all for your spiritual support the whole week. I appreciate it very much. God bless you much!
