Papczynski left Podoliniec on May 18, 1650, together with another student, and a future Piarist, Albert Haligowski (Fran- cis of Jesus Mary); Nom. Disc., 11. Wyszynski wrote that young Papczynski was forced to leave Podoliniec (because of an epidemic) “cum ad altiores scientias aspirasset.” VW § 19, Positio 670. 133. He confessed at that time: “Therefore, I give thanks to God that, out of His will, I was given the duty of tending the sheep, because (and I still remember that) when I walk in the fields minding the flock, I keep my conscience pure and holy. I humbly ask You, my Lord, may the Divine Providence of Your Majesty guide me till the end of my life. I trust and believe that it will be so. May You be glorified in all my actions, thoughts, and words. Amen.” VW § 20, Positio 671. 134. M. Bogucka, op. cit., pp. 305-306. 135. P. Jasienica, op. cit., part II, p. 51. 136. M.
