Drodzy Przyjaciele!

W ten wyjątkowy czas Bożego Narodzenia pragniemy Wam z
całego serca życzyć, aby narodziny Chrystusa napełniły Wasze życie światłem
pokoju, miłości i nadziei. Niech ten święty czas stanie się przestrzenią
uważnego zatrzymania, w której pozwolicie Bogu przyjść do Waszej codzienności
takiej, jaka ona jest.

Niech tajemnica Wcielenia uczy nas patrzeć na świat oczami
wiary: dostrzegać Boga działającego w prostocie, kruchości i zwyczajnych
doświadczeniach życia. Niech ten czas pomoże Wam rozeznawać to, co prowadzi ku
większej miłości, wolności serca i głębszej relacji z Bogiem oraz drugim
człowiekiem.

Niech radość płynąca z betlejemskiej stajenki rozświetla
Wasze dni nawet w trudnych chwilach, a ciepło Bożej obecności umacnia Was w
chwilach niepokoju i zmęczenia. Życzymy Wam, abyście w tym czasie odnaleźli
prawdziwy odpoczynek ducha, który rodzi się z zaufania Bogu i gotowości pójścia
tam, gdzie On prowadzi.

Niech Boże Narodzenie będzie dla Was czasem duchowego
odrodzenia, wewnętrznego porządkowania serca i nowej gorliwości w szukaniu i
znajdowaniu Boga we wszystkim.

Radosnego świętowania!

Happy feast day of St. John Kanty, a priest and professor at the Jagiellonian University, the alma mater of John Paul II!
--
“Fight all false opinions, but let your weapons be patience, sweetness and love. Roughness is bad for your own soul and spoils the best cause.” - St. John Kanty

“One legend relates that he came upon a poor young lady who was a servant to a strict and severe woman. While on an errand to fetch some milk, she accidentally dropped her jar, breaking it and spilling the milk. Father John had compassion for her, prayed over the jar, and miraculously fixed it. Even the milk was returned.” -MyCatholicLife
