Father Casimir Wyszynski

there is a willingness to conduct—for the greater glory of God and the honor of the Immaculate Virgin—the process of our Ven- erable Founder.” 251 Father Casimir kept sending appeals from Rome to Poland, urging his superiors tomake haste in preparing for the beatifica- tion process. He lamented the fact that the casewas being stalled, while the number of eyewitnesses to the life and virtues of the Marian Founder was decreasing. He wrote to Father General Wetycki, urging himkindly tomake up for his previous negligence with regard to the beatification of the Founder, because “not only should the process of our saintly Father be already open, but he should already be elevated to the altars.” 252 In a similar pleading tone he wrote to his brother: “Our fa- ther's sluggishness in this matter may be explained by the fact that they do not have a good protector and promoter. Therefore, I am obliging you, my good sir and benefactor, to stir them to ac- tion. For doing so, you will merit immeasurable reward through the intercession of the Servant of God, whowas and is a saint and now reigns with Christ in heaven. For each time we promote his cause, much happiness comes to us, but when we stop, misfor- tune ensues.” 253 This ardent venerator of the Marian Founder shared his per- sonal experiences when he spoke about the blessings received by Father Papczyński’s devotees. He declared that he was full of wonder at the actions of Divine Providence towards himself, for as soon as he started applying himself to the promotion of the Venerable Father Founder’s process, God began to grant him ex- ceptional favors. 254 251 Letter to Father Casimir Polak of August 19, 1752, in: Stróż duchowego dzie- dzictwa marianów …, 230. 252 Letter of February 17, 1753, in: Diariusz czynności …, 374. 253 Letter to his brother on February 2, 1753, in: Stróż duchowego dziedzictwa marianów …, 372. 254 K.
