THOUGHT: “Joy is a much sought after quality of life…Joy comes with giving away – losing, not gaining”. Evelyn Christenson.
“Holiness, then, looks for the bad in us and the good in others. The sinner seeks justice by justifying himself, with many nuances and words to explain their innocence. The saint elevates himself itself by lowering himself. The sinner raises himself by lowering others”. By Mr. Jason Craig
POLAND: By chance on a visit to Limerick I saw the devotion of the Polish people to the church, when they marked the Feast of Corpus Christi 2016. They celebrated the feast at St Michael’s Church which was the biggest parish in Munster at one time. Today St. Michael’s is the smallest parish in Limerick City. The church now serves the Polish Community.
Poland; During the German occupation, 5 bishops, 1863 diocesan priests were killed. 239 monks were in concentration camps, 218 executed by firing squad, another 123 others were killed. 89 Polish nuns were killed. 63 clerical students were killed.
