last day of January in the Church commemorates St. John Bosco, founder of the Salesian Congregation and a great educator of youth. He was a priest, who overtook his ideas pastoral era. His commitment and number of initiatives to this day astounds many. Don Bosco in education apply their own - the original, for those times, solutions that are defined by himself as a preventive system (uprzedzającego). Model solutions as applied in the establishment of Turin have been implemented by the Salesians in factories in Italy, and later in other European countries and missionary. In 1892 they came to Earth Salesians founded the first Polish factory at Piastowe.

came to his work in extremely difficult political circumstances. In the era of unification of the Italian state was pervasive attitude hostile to the Church and the Papacy. His attitude showed What should be an honest dialogue between the State and the Church. Throughout his life he remained faithful to the principle that the Church can not permit that embroiled him in a party or political direction. Such a position advocated spiritual dignitaries as representatives of the Church. Also advocated the active involvement of Catholics in political life, because like everyone else are citizens and have the right and obligation to participate in public life. The task of the Church in these difficult times, being seen in the refuge of public and private life, family, society and state by that it proclaims to all the rights established in the eternal truth revealed.

Don Bosco, as he used to say, pursued a policy of "Our Father" and she brought him success. Gentleness, goodness and prudence, and above all, testimony to the dedication to the cause of education of poor young people to make it a "good Christians and upright citizens," he could get to the heart of its activities, even the greatest enemies of the Church. He founded the religious congregations at the time when others had to face many difficulties and were often eliminated. In the years 1867-1978 he was the mediator in negotiations between the anticlerical Italian government and the Holy See, resulting in, among others, contributed to fill 40 vacant diocesan capitals. He was utterly devoted to the Holy Father. For his spiritual sons, the Salesians would say, "Be deeply convinced of the importance of this truth: where is the successor of Saint Peter, there is the true Church of Christ. No one professes the true religion, if it is not Catholic. No one also is not a Catholic without the pope. (...) That faith could be alive and fruitful, must be explained by the Vicar of Christ. Especially in our times have people gather around the Pope, see it as St. Peter and explain its importance to people. "

Don Bosco was also a builder of temples, writer and publisher of books, especially for young people and uneducated people, which undertook and presented in a manner accessible to difficult issues in the field of religious, moral, ascetic, and historical. The activities in this field began with the issue of the lives of the saints, and biographies popes. Then came the Catholic Reading for each month. He was also the founder of the magazine about religion. Since 1877, all friends of his works began to issue monthly "Salesian Bulletin", which today is published in several languages. In Poland it is present since 1897 and now bears the title "Don Bosco Salesian Magazine." By means of the then attempted to ground truth contained in the catechism teachings of the Church, struggled with rampant modernism, the philosophy of the Enlightenment, Protestantism and Freemasonry. Ministry evangelization through the media has made one of the main planes of the Salesian presence in the Church's mission.

Prester John Bosco died on 31 Jan 1888 in Turin. He was beatified (2 Jun 1929) and canonized (1 Jun 1934) by Pope Pius XI, who described him as the spiritual giant.

Even after such a cursory presentation of the achievements of St Just. John Bosco, you can without worrying about the risk of error, stated that he is the ideal guide for the twenty-first century Christians. In the historical sense, still live in the same an age in which St. John Bosco came to serve the Church. The problems they have to face today, believers are still the same. Atheizing systematic secularization and social life rooted in the philosophy of the Enlightenment, modernism, ecumenism falsely understood, relentless struggle with religion, anti-Christian tradition and morality takes place before our eyes. With our patron saint, today we need to stand alongside the Peter of our times, and Pope Benedict XVI go on Crusade to the twenty-first century European Union countries preaching witness attachment to the Church's catechetical teachings of God's love. Staring at the figure of Fr. Bosco, we see the need for a conscious and creative engagement in social life. Let, therefore, from the sky surrounds us his intercession!

Bishop Vincent Tymienieckiego and began to work St. Teresa.

Together with other women there to cook lunches for several hundred people: the local poor people and children attending church schools. In his book, "I wanted to live," she recalled years later, Fr. Kubacki as a man of a kind, forgiving and caring. In one of the passages she wrote: "The priest and the housekeeper Kubacki extraordinary kindness shown me, the biggest problem was my ignorance of the principles and tenets of the Catholic faith. I decided to learn this from day one. Living in this community without knowledge of the principles and practices of this religion was almost impossible. I went every day to the priest, who taught me religion, the most important principles of faith and prayer. It was a noble and honest man, respect my background and I did not force anything. He enjoyed, however, my desire to know the faith which was to him throughout life. "

Halina Ashkenazy-Engelhard, however, still lived in fear. Not so good feeling among the midst of other workers who did not understand her reluctance to dance and play. She felt very alone. When was left alone, drew the old family photographs and cried the whole evening. Caritas colleagues became aware of the time, she was a Jew and a priest complained, her dismissal remedy the

Halina decided to leave the parish. Went to the wealthy couple, where she worked as a housekeeper. After some time, and there realized that she was Jewish.

remind beautiful piece of history of Fr. Kubacki not by accident. Beautiful story about the attitudes of Poles toward their fellow Jews during World War II is still too little, or in the publication of school textbooks. The names of these heroic figures are often forgotten. These failures put at the heart of Krakow, in particular publishing house "sign."

Today I would like to invite you to read an interview with one of the initiators of the annual pilgrimage of fans, published Czestochowa Sports Portal.

early on Saturday, Jan. 8 will be supporters III National pilgrimage to Jasna Gora. Today We present you an interview with one of the originators of the initiative of Fr. Jaroslaw Wąsowicz.

Where did the idea of \u200b\u200bthe pilgrimage to Jasna Gora supporters?

idea of \u200b\u200bthe pilgrimage was late. Tadeusz Duffek, the legendary fan Lechia Gdansk, which was organized many patriotic projects that environment, especially in the 80 - the white-green when taken at the stadium in Gdansk and matches

exit demanded by the "Solidarity" and the people underground. Willy later rallied his people many supporters who spoke up for the revival of Lechia. It is through their commitment to the club went from 6 division league. At the end of his short life (he died of cancer at age 37 years) Dufo got the idea to organize such a pilgrimage. Many times we talked about it. Unfortunately, not live to see the realization of this idea, but the idea survived and two years ago in December 2008 for the first time zawitaliśmy at Jasna Gora.

As the priest came out two previous assessment of the pilgrimage and that the priest had fallen something special in mind?

I think good. First of all, because from the outset they were bottom-up initiative supporters, organized without the noise of the media. In this case, the mere fact that she zafunkcjonowała in the environment is a big success. In my memory especially sunken panel discussions on contemporary condition of Polish patriotism, and this as in the popular media presents the world of fans. Very fruitful and wise. Many voices myself

enriched.

Media publicize only the fans but bad for this type of pilgrimage can be unity?

World fans is what it is. He knows that everyone who even slightly seriously with this problem wiped. For many reasons, which explain in a short speech has no place, and the overall sense is not possible to unity, you are talking about appear to be settled in this environment for good. Anyway, it probably does not make much sense, because a healthy rivalry between the clubs is valuable. We must therefore build unity around common for all values. For the true "kibola" one of them is certainly patriotism, honor, and for many also God. Are you sure you should find the good and positive ideas which kibicowskim traffic is really a lot.

would ask for a short call all those who are still hesitant to come to Jasna Gora?

best convince a man's own experience. So let's break up and zawitać at Jasna Gora. I assure you that many positive impressions will be the participation of each of the fans - the pilgrims. Additional incentives may be extraordinarily rich and interesting program. Mass animated by supporters of different clubs, lecture by Fr. Tadeusz Isakowicz - Zaleski about the genocide in eastern Poland, Andrzej Kolakowski or a concert at Soldiers accursed. It will be a good lesson of history and patriotism. In addition, we discuss how to help reviving the local Lviv Pursuit. Before the war the club was an icon of Polish football.

PROTEST

express strong protest against the publication by the publishing house "sign" the next book by Jan Tomasz Gross defamatory Polish nation. As is clear from media reports, the absurdity contained in it also is so far advanced that you have an extremely bad faith to take an active part in spreading the lies of the Jewish sociologist. Publisher Znak publishing religious books is considered by many to be Catholic, which seems to be an additional commitment. If you assert is the publisher associated with the Roman Catholic Church, including the structure lies completely deny this mission. The purpose for the Church is to preach the truth, and everything is too much evil comes from. If you do not think as a Catholic publishing house, you probably also applies human decency. In the life of every human being, not just a believer, truth plays a fundamental role. Fr. Francis Blachnicki, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Vladimir Bukovsky Soviet oppression for being acknowledged lie. This is a lie enveloping social life in the Soviet camp, meant that people resigned to a life of humiliation, that to this day in Russia and former Soviet republics such honor individuals like Stalin and Lenin. These myths have survived thanks to, inter alia, that involved cooperation with the system publishers and writers have not dared to face the light of truth and make a conscience.


A similar situation is in Poland. Jan Tomasz Gross accuses the Polish nation of niepopełnione crimes in an increasingly brazen manner. Supported and feted by the Polish-language media is filtered into the minds of the young generation of Poles is not true. Abuses may be those with which his family had escaped the fate of millions of Jews murdered by the Germans. None of the previous "revelations" Gross were not confirmed in prosecutions, nor in the findings of historians. The text of the final book ("Fear") in the Polish edition, far different from the U.S. version, which indicates that both the author and the Polish publisher is not very concerned with the facts. Both of publications which Gross had a propaganda and was a typical product of "the Holocaust industry."


"Golden Harvest" is a good title, indicate the purpose of that task this book. Not only did Gross, but the Jewish community in the world are waiting for corn in Poland is ripe and you can make a golden harvest. Jews demand from Polish tens of millions of dollars as a refund so. Jewish property, are aware that without adequate preparation of the land to carry out this operation will not be possible. That's what is going on for many years slandering the Polish nation and wording such as "Polish concentration camps", this film served "Shindlera List" showing the "good Germans" and SS-Manki speaking in Polish, this is another publication prepared by the publishing house "sign ".



Of also included in the publication's most disgusting is not formulated explicitly. Well, if the Poles robbing graves at Treblinka, it is not true that the arrival of camp, the Jews were robbed by the German support! Photos in the museum of Auschwitz showing naked bodies into pits of death, piles of stuff stolen by the Germans, prisoners held in the barracks at Majdanek is a fiction! his publication publisher Znak joins the Western media wypisujących nonsense Polish concentration camps and Poles enthusiastically welcoming the Germans on the streets of Gdansk in 1939. We therefore call for a withdrawal from the publication of this vile book to the publishing house "sign", we turn to the staff of that publication to express obywatelskiego sprzeciwu w przypadku gdyby decyzja władz wydawnictwa była inna, do księgarzy katolickich ,aby w przypadku publikacji książki Grossa bojkotowali produkty wydawnictwa „Znak”.
