Father Wyszynski Pilgrimage

Father Isidore Taudt was the only one who testi- fied twice before the Church tribunal on behalf of the Servant of God Casimir, pointing out the latter’s exem- plary life and emphasizing his role in the renewal and growth of the Order: “To everyone in the Order he was a shining example of sanctity and fervent piety. (…) When he lived in Poland, he used to encourage the members of his institute to hold devotion for the Most Holy Sacrament, Christ’s Passion, and the Blessed Mother, setting a good example himself. He used to get up early in the morning and go directly before the Most Holy Sacrament. With great zeal he taught sim- ple folks the truths of the faith. Also, the Servant of God Casimir radiated with exceptional veneration of God and the things of God, to which he was whole- heartedly devoted. He considered the truths of the faith and God’s commandments to be sacred and did his utmost to fulfill them (…). He frequently encouraged us, his brethren, to diligently conduct religious educa- tion among plain country folks, in accordance with our Order’s goal.” Father Benon Bujalski, the Servant of God Casimir’s companion on the journey to Portugal, testi- fied among other things: “In various difficulties and in times of food shortage and lack of other goods for the community in Góra, the Servant of God always placed his hope in God. He kept telling his brethren to do the same while suffering these trying shortages of food or clothing. He cared for all with great trust and concern. 57 Steadfast in Attaining His Goal
