The Polish-language website that features his articles is still very active: https://wobroniewiaryitradycji.wordpress.com/ Having just come back from a couple of weeks in Poland, I can say after extensive conversation with members of my wife's family and others that I see quite a few signs of hope there compared to other Western European countries: 1. After a period of flirtation with Western-style liberalism and consumer materialism, there has been a distinct reaction in the opposite direction from a large sector of the population that feels that traditional Polish values and religious faith (which after all made a massive contribution to the downfall of Communism in the Eastern Bloc) had been spat on. They elected a new president, Andrzej Duda, in the hope that he would put a stop to the advance of gender ideology etc. Interestingly, he made quite a stir as president-elect in June when during a Mass he picked up a consecrated host that fell to the ground, an incident which caused Italian charismatic missionary priest and healing minister Fr Antonello Cadeddu to remark to a journalist that 'It is not a coincidence that your president picked up the host from the ground and with great respect and care brought it to the priest. It is a sign for you Poles and also a reminder, that you are still a spiritual natural. And therefore I have no doubt that you have the mission of picking up the host, the Eucharist, faith in the whole of Europe' In the same interview Fr Cadeddu shared a prophetic vision concerning Poland's mission: 'When I was in Poland for the first time, I saw Merciful Jesus in a vision, who from here, from Poland was pouring out the ray of mercy from his heart over the whole of Europe [...] I also saw the stigmata of St Pio, from which blood was flowing. [...] God wants to pour out his mercy on Europe.' (quoted on https://wobroniewiaryitradycji.wordpress.com/ ) 2. For all its faults, Poland remains a country where the supernatural dimension of Christian faith has been retained to a remarkable degree; you can talk about St Faustina, Medjugorje or novenas to the Saints in normal conversation, and every small village seems to have a well-kept shrine to Christ and/or Our Lady. I have already spoken on this forum about my strongly positive impression of the current dynamic generation of Polish exorcists such as priests Piotr Glas, Andrzej Trojanowski and Michal Olszewski, while Just a week ago in Warsaw 60,000 people converged on the National Stadium for the all-day 'Jezus na stadionie'/'Jesus at the stadium' event led by Ugandan charismatic priest Fr John Bashobora (speaking in English with Polish translation). 3. Perhaps because their minds have been concentrated by the sabre-rattling of their Big Brother just over the Eastern border (one place we were staying is only 50 miles from the Kaliningrad enclave where all sorts of new military hardware has been stationed), many Poles are under no illusions as to the seriousness of the times we are living in.
God Bless Poland. Perhaps the Irish will stage a come back too. here's hoping, it just goes to show you're never out till you're dead. Nice to hear some good news for a change.
! Jon Sobieski's words at the Battle of Vienna in 1683 (which are a Catholic version of Julius Caesar's famous quote: "Veni, vidi, vicci!") I came. I saw. God conquered! Hurrah for Poland! Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
Thank you very much, Padraig, for reloading Fr Adam's extraordinary video. The old copy of the video that has been circulating for a couple of years lost the audio and nothing could be heard -I'm sure the enemy of God is not pleased with having this information spread.
I thought I was the only one who could not hear the audio! This is most certainly the work of the devil.
Well, so convinced was Fr. Adam of his personal martyrdom at the hands of evil authorities, if he were now dead due to other circumstances, his whole vision of the judgment of God and the Era of Peace would be called into question. By the way, thanks for helping us revisit this interview. Very encouraging. If Holy Mass is ever taken from us, I'll recall Fr. Adam's reverent blessing of us all with Christ in the monstrance at the end of the video. Praised be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar!
I started to watch the video, but stopped when he mentioned Vassula Ryden. The negative judgement on her work issued by Pope Benedict, then still a cardinal, still stands, doesn't it?
I hope they leave the EU. I personally don't see how anybody can talk about preserving religious values etc when the EU governs so much of the political actions of countries like Ireland anyway.
Things are considerably more complex than that, as has been discussed in extenso in various threads on this forum with much quotation of documentation both by supporters and critics; rather than trying to recapitulate ground already covered, I would recommend using this site's search engine if you want to find out more details.
I am always a little confused about the EU. As far as I recall Saint John Paul 2 was very much in favour of it?
Excerpted from Fr Adam Skwarczynski's blog, dated December 25, 2015 https://wobroniewiaryitradycji.wordpress.com/page/2/ I increasingly get not only requests for prayer, meetings or help in resolving problems, but also in the "out-of-the-box" category. Some of these I will share with readers. - Should we stock food? I dreamed of Barack Obama - a correspondent claims - who handed two housewives an empty bucket, taken out from under his desk. I have a deep conviction that it could be a case of two years' famine or two seasons still given to us to fill those buckets with food. I myself take this seriously and feel that I must hurry up with stocking long-life food, especially dried and canned. Would you not want to encourage people to do this? [Fr Adam's response] NO! For I am convinced that if God made rescuing people during the Great Purification conditional on stocks of food, the earth would be empty! So few believe in the Parousia* and are preparing for it, after all ... It is however worth having a certain quantity of seeds - for oneself and for others - for the time when there will be no shops. Also other items that can always be shared with others. And in this respect, let us therefore be guided not by egoism, but the love of neighbor. - Today the mother of a pre-schooler named Iza rang, asking me to explain her dream-vision from before midnight. Having woken up, she [the girl] ran to her parents, telling them a lot of details concerning the surrounding neighbourhood (buildings) in the city in which they live. Its whole centre was shattered by bullets; they only spared a few houses where people are praying. From these houses they [the bullets] bounced off and came back. Is war coming? [Fr Adam's response]: I COULDN'T GIVE AN ANSWER. It's certain that a child would not invent so many details, and in addition from an area of life rather unknown to her. Perhaps this should be understood in a spiritual sense: the homes pierced by the bullets of hell - those in which the teacher and master is Lucifer and his helpers - are in spiritual ruin and only their shells are left standing? Only the "prayed-in" houses are alive, on the other hand, because Heaven turns the bullets of hell back from them...? If so, then woe to the world! Because if in Poland so few homes can be saved from the massacre, what will happen to other countries?! Complete emptiness and desolation over huge areas can only confirm that they shared the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah ... When it comes to war, however - I have to say that more and more people are telling me about their intuition of its proximity. * Fr Adam uses the term 'Parousia' to denote not only the Second Coming of Christ but also the sequence of events preceding it, including the Warning ("Ostrzeżenie" in Polish) which he, like some other alleged visionaries, claims to have experienced in advance.
Thanks for posting this Peter. I am kind of touched that the Father appears to know so little himself. Makes me feel less blind. I came across correspendance between two great mystic/ visionaries who were asking each otehr if either knew the hour? Neither of them did. This cheered me up immensely. God is keeping a lot of this stuff hidden.
Fr Adam Skwarczynski responds to his critics: excerpted from his annual letter to readers, November 16, 2015 https://wobroniewiaryitradycji.word...onkow-margaretek-i-czytelnikow-naszej-strony/ 'The Good Lord really took me, mostly by night, into the future: from childhood he allowed me to experience glimpses [Pol. "migawki" - like the trailer to a film] of this new and extremely beautiful world that will be born after the death throes of the old one. This birth will be similar to the breaking out of an old chrysalis, so that a beautiful butterfly can fly out of it into the sky. If he showed it to me, he did not do so without a reason. I suppose that in this way he planned my writing of a book whose purpose was (and still is!) to prepare people for the Parousia ... [the fictional/prophetic novel Z Aniołem do Nowego Świata ('With an Angel to the New World") published under the pseudonym Ivan Novotny]. I have heard reports that some people despise this reading material and consider me a false prophet ... Well, it was not given to them to see what I saw. God has not led them, unlike me, through the "little judgment" identical to the particular one after the death, only during life on earth. Soon they will have to experience for themselves that about which they didn't want to read or hear. Fortunately there are some who receive the book with an open heart, thanks to it they for a while are immersed in the atmosphere of the "New World" and then ... start to long for it, and even to prepare for the Parousia. It happens that some "swallow" the book in a single night! To these should be added those who have watched the "interview" with me for television in Barcelona called: "I have seen the New World" [embedded at the top of this thread]. Sometimes I am full of admiration for someone who has crossed the sea or mountains in order to make a general life confession to me, taking my advice seriously that this is the best preparation for the Parousia - of course not out of fear but out of love for God. I have received questions about why I introduce the reader to this "New World" while jumping over the chasm of the terrible purification of the earth, during which whole nations have to perish, and the living envy the dead. It is true that God also showed me something of the horror of this purification, but my "novel" was not intended to arouse fear, but only hope and longing for the "New". It admittedly contains references to the "Old [World]", but these are only passing mentions and not drastic descriptions. Showing the beauty of the lush nature of the "New [World]", the love God and neighbour governing it, the freedom from old structures oppressing people, as well as the joy of their life - my task was to prepare already today a ... "vaccine against despair"! Precisely that despair that can engulf someone on the burned-out remains of the world or on some small island on which they managed to survive the "roaring of the sea and the waves" (the Lord Jesus's words in the Gospel [Luke 21:25]). When they find and kiss like a relic the traces of an unknown passer-by, they lift up their heart in hope, sinking into trusting prayer and remembering these fragments of beauty and goodness, whose blossoming they after all now have a right to expect.' [Translation P.B.]
... reporting from Fr Adam Skwarczynski and the site https://wobroniewiaryitradycji.wordpress.com/ Having just made two short visits to Poland over the last two weeks, I thought I would give an update on some developments relayed by the site that houses Fr Adam's reflections. Once again it came home to me how unusual Poland is spiritually in many ways when considered against a Western European background: Christian faith is extremely visible there, in shocking contrast to, say Berlin (from where I caught my return flight on Friday) where walking around the city it would be easy to forget that Christianity ever existed there. Poland remains a place where Christian mysticism is taken seriously. Go into a religious bookshop there and you will quickly realize that the kind of dumbed-down, de-supernaturalized (pseudo)-faith that has become the default option in so much of the West is definitely not what's on offer. The shelves are packed with translations of private revelations going from St Faustina to the recently deceased 'Adam-Czlowiek', Raymond Nader's alleged communications with St Charbel - who seems to have become an adopted patron of Poland judging by the sheer quantity of material regarding the Lebanese saint - , copies of the monthly magazine published by the Polish association of exorcists, etc. etc. It should additionally be noted that this interest in the mystical is not restricted to an over-excited fringe constitutency within the Church, but is a characteristic of the mainstream. There is for example currently a campaign - in which Fr Adam's blog has been actively involved - to go ahead with the Enthronement of Christ the King on a national level in a public ceremony involving not only the Church but also the secular state authorities. This was something requested in some dramatic locutions to the relatively little-known mystic Servant of God Rozalia Celak (1901-1944) (a nurse in Krakow whose beatification process is ongoing, and about whom I hope to share more on this Forum) in the 1930s which were accompanied not only by visions of the Second World War, dramatically fulfilled, but also of a Third... Rozalia Celak (1901-1944) It is surely the urgency of the present global situation which explains why, after decades of debate about the Enthronement, a ceremony enthroning Christ as King of Poland will finally be held in the Divine Mercy Sanctuary in Krakow-Łagiewnikach on November 19 this year, by decision of the Polish Episcopate, on the eve of the Feast of Christ the King concluding the Jubilee of Mercy and in conjunction with the 1050th anniversary of Poland's baptism in 966. http://episkopat.pl/dokumenty/listy...ki_na_Jubileusz_1050_lecia_Chrztu_Polski.html Having studied the visions in which the enthronement was originally requested, I cannot over-emphasize the international significance of this event, the only question now being the extent to which the government will participate as stipulated by Rozalia Celak. Much will depend on the answer, as anyone who is aware of the relationship between St Margaret Mary Alacoque's request to Louis XIV in 1689 concerning the consecration of France and the subsequent fate of the country will be aware in terms of how God deals with supposedly Christian nations.
Thank you so much for posting this Peter. All this visionaries and mystics and movements which I have never heard of before. But hopefully if St Faustina became wolrd know then Rozalia will become equally well known. God was so busy in Poland in the 1930's wasn't He? It seems to be He was getting set for events today. Poland must have a very,very special place in God's plans. I don't suppose any of these wonderful books are available in English?
Seems to me Poland has a special role in these end times. Let us pray that Poland will be able carry through the Enthronement of Christ the King on a national level, which will bring that nation the special protecting had of God's grace.
