93 Stanislaus Papczynski’s Childhood and Youth 146. P. Jasienica, op. cit., part I, p. 439. 147. “Sub Plocia cum Vistulae fluctibus agiteretur, Iaroslaviae cum vorticibus fuisset haustus, armatus auxilio Divino intrepidus miraculose transivit.” VF § 11, Positio 635. 148. “Marinis fluctibus periculose jactatus feliciter absolvit.” VF § 13, Positio 691. Leporini mentions yet another adventure: “Odrae celeritate raptus invocata Beatae Cunegundis Reginae Poloniae ope, ultra spem ad littus enatavit.” VF § 12, Positio 691. It seems, however, that the river that is mentioned here was not the Oder, which flows about 170 kilometers to the west of Podegrodzie, but the Dunajec. This supposition seems to be confirmed by a mention during the Information Process: “Puer septennis mirabiliter Donaiescium transnatavit, Secreta Con. C. 3.” In this case, Papczynski’s invocation of Blessed Kunegunda, venerated in nearby Stary Sacz, is more under- standable; Positio 635, footnote 16. 149. Sydry, p. 33. 150. “Colligebat cum auxilio Divino literas, componebat Orationis partes, periodos faciebat, versus fundebat, ita disserebat, spec- ulabatur, ut inter divites non postremus esset ingenii laude qua magis, quam opibus commendabatur.” VF § 15, Positio 636. 151. “Erat in victu modicus, in Oratione assiduus, in solitariis lati- tando recessibus, a Deo in benedictionibus dulcedinis praeven- tus, supernarum rerum contemplationi, attento sic animo adhaerere caepit, patrocinante S. Petro Alcantara, ut in Deo totus absorptus, altioris perfectionis flamma succensus, soli Deo, ejusque Sacratissimae Matri servire disponens, evidentius id processu temporis opere declaravit.” VF § 17, Positio 636. 152. PP, art. 4-5, VW § 22, Positio 672. 153. VF § 17, Positio 636. 154. Sydry, p. 33.
