About the removal of obstacles.That lead us off the path to our destination – Cardinal J. Bona
I. Although we all know exactly to what end we are created and where we are to go, yet there are so many obstacles blocking our way and diverting us from this goal, that it is difficult to find a man who would make a sincere effort to go where his own knowledge directs him… Continue reading

There is no pious life without prudence – Cardinal John Bona
Do the same to yourself; put aside money, fame, honours; examine a thing in its essence, do not pay attention to its name, but look at what it is in itself. Only a fool will be fooled by appearances. Continue reading

How to be patient in suffering? – Bp. S.Pelczar
The means of acquiring patience. Thus we have passed through a wide field of sufferings; – how many painful and heavy crosses the Lord put on the shoulders of the sons of Adam. Doubtless you, too, are not free from them, and so you also need patience, but how will you acquire it? ASK FOR… Continue reading

Weakness and corruption of the human heart
Having considered the blindness of human reason, let us consider how its heart is weak and corrupt. It is weak when it goes for the fulfilment of good; but when it goes for the fulfilment of evil, it is all too strong. The will of man, which God created good, was spoiled by original sin,… Continue reading

Pride – rebellion against God!
1 Humble submission to God – this is the meaning and destiny of man; it is the only thing necessary. The first and greatest difficulty that man encounters in achieving the goal of life is the tendency in human nature to disorderly independence, to pride. It is hard for man not to value himself more… Continue reading

The life is a Holy Mass
A Catholic writer once said that he did not like Sunday. The Lord’s Day, he thought, is a day on which Christians mock their God. They are not much more serious about the Mass either. A working day is better. Each one turns out to be what it is. On Sunday there is a lot… Continue reading

Whatever two thoughts come to mind, examine it as closely as possible – Cardinal John Bona: On the inner senses
1 The most powerful lever of true wisdom is not to accept any opinion or view contrary to nature or reason. Hence, apart from everything else, you must resist as strenuously all stirrings of the imagination as the scholars in the art of disputation act against those who militate with apparently right but essentially false… Continue reading

On the benefits of solitude – Cardinal John Bona
1 The great proof of a soul mortified and purified of its disorderly inclinations is that it suffices itself. As God, being the happiest, suffices Himself to the uttermost, so you, too, will approach God with your own happiness, if you learn to be detached from yourself. 6And in this seclusion, if you wish, you… Continue reading

Human consideration – false religion stifling spiritual life!
Human consideration is the negation of perfection, and where it reigns, holiness is impossible; for under its influence, we turn away from God to the creatures. Wherever it appears, it drags with it a long chain of sins of abandonment, hatched out of cowardice and fear of ridicule, and a second chain of sins, committed… Continue reading

Eclipse of the spirit
We usually say: that nothing above health is either nicer or dearer. After all, a bright spirit, a pure and holy spirit in a healthy body – greater still is the good. For to be guilty is an evil over which you have no greater. Happy is he whose upbringing was governed by truth and… Continue reading
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.
