Sadness and joy- On a clear conscience and wisdom
In joy, modesty should shine through, i.e. you should never let your feelings of joy go so far that you cannot freely turn from joy to sadness at any given time. The Lord Jesus, the most perfect teacher, called blessed not those who laugh, but those who weep. For it is not fitting for a Continue reading

The Phoenix Reborn, or the Spiritual Exercises. Cardinal J. Bona – On sins
I. Since nothing is so opposed to our purpose as sin, we should carefully consider its evil, heaviness, and ugliness, that we may sincerely repent of the sins committed, and avoid the present and future ones by the help of God.

Whatever two thoughts come to mind, examine it as closely as possible – Cardinal John Bona: On the inner senses

About Me
Let us build the Church in souls on the rock of our faith. God is Spirit and we should worship Him in spirit and truth. Now in the times of apostasy of the Catholic Church administration, when very often we do not have access to real priests, this is very important. It will allow us not only to survive, but also to strengthen our faith. The truth, even if it is hard for us, always comes from God. Let’s not live in a lie. The father of lies is Satan. Let us remember this. The truth is the determinant by which I am guided when I write for several years on the Polish website I founded http://www.niewolnikmaryi.com and it will be the same here – in the English version.
Ps. I encourage suggestions for the translation. It will help me a lot.
