I had friends that went to Czestochowa, Poland in 1991, There were so many people trying to get there that they were just not able to get even close to the event. They said the Poles, turned their TV’s toward the streets and turned up the volume so that the kids could see the Holy Father.
I know a priest who grew up with the Nazi, then Communist regimes in Poland. We take our Faith for granted sometimes... They didn't lose theirs. Funny how St. Faustina, St. Maximilian Kolbe and St. John Paul all came out of Poland and their lives were touched by what was around them. EWTN had a wonderful documentary on this awhile back.
God bless you!
I’ve been to Jasna Gora and seen the Black Madonna. It was crowded; I think I counted 30 something buses. But we were able to see everything.
