Your fruit will remain

217 munion of the Saints allows us to unite with our confreres who did not manage to see this day, but who now share with us from the joy of heaven. Today, more than at any time before, we feel united in great joy, thanksgiving and a desire to live our vocation with renewed enthusiasm and zeal. May the joy of this day bring the fruit of holiness into our lives, as well as a new zeal to proclaim the Gospel. Father Stanislaus Papczynski lived over three centuries ago. We ask ourselves: why are we the ones who have received the grace of his Beatification, though so many generations waited for it to take place? If God planned to bring Father Papc- zynski to the Glory of the Altar now, it means that his figure is particularly timely for our age; that the Blessed has something important to tell us. The words of His Eminence strengthened us in this conviction. Let’s receive Father Papczynski and his prophetic vision as God’s gift for the Church, for Poland and for the world.
