Adam: There is no doubt, the early church lived in the ambiance of joyful expectation of the impending return of the Lord. Adam how the Church from its very beginnings, from the dawn of its history, live by the faith in Christ’s Parousia and His Last Judgment which Jesus had foretold from the very beginning, from the time he began his public ministry preaching the gospel.įr. Coming back to it, I would like to ask you Fr. Faustina, on many occasions that his final coming was drawing near, so he was opening wide the door to his merciful heart in order that anyone who only wanted to could freely pass through it without being “pushed through”, so to speak: “the door of God’s justice”. Adam, you mention the triumph of the immaculate heart of Mary as foretold by Our Lady of Fatima also here in Poland Our Lord Jesus spoke to sister Faustina Kowalska, St. For many years I’ve been counseling in spiritual matters through meetings with people and frequently also by telephone, by the internet and by regular mail – that’s my daily work.įr.

They both saw the coming of the Marian Ages, as saint Maximilian called it, as well as a new era of the Holy Spirit, as being the very triumph of the Immaculate Heart, as we call it today, based on the word uttered by Our Lady of Fatima, even though neither of them alluded the message of Fatima. I was specially fascinated by the eschatological theme in the writings of Maximilian Maria Kolbe and the Russian Orthodox theologian Sergius Bulgakov, who lived in exile after the revolution in Russia. The thesis is dedicated to the relationship of The Most Blessed Virgin Mary with the Holy Spirit. When serving at the last parish I undertook doctorate studies at the Lublin Catholic University which I completed in 1993, when I obtained my doctorate. I had done pastoral work for quite a number of long years as an assistant priest followed by almost ten years work as a parish priest.

Why then, despite being a sixty-six year old priest, I am not yet a senior retiree? Did I find myself here, when I could be doing pastoral work. The nearby garden is to become the very place of my sacrifice which I had offered to God, and I know that it was accepted. I also know that this place in which I have lived since I was three years old, where I was brought up, will be the last leg of my Earthly journey, it is from here – I know the season of the year - that my soul is to be taken to heaven soon. At the time I did not know that it was the future, I only realized it when I came to a certain place which had been known to me since my childhood, and it was in reality the same with all of the more important places. This old wooden house was the very place of my experiences – the vision which I had been receiving since my childhood in which I was allowed to know all of my future life in detail. It was here that they lived and brought me up. This beautiful single-storied wooden house survived the second World War but was greatly damaged: the whole of the ground floor and the roof were completely burned out but were rebuilt upon my parents return to this place after World War II.

When the mill was burned out at the beginning of the World War I his children were dispersed around the world and his son built a wooden house about a kilometre away from the mill, which is exactly where we are sitting right now. Adam: At the moment we are one hundred kilometres east of Warsaw, not far from the Moscow-Berlin railway line… When my great-grandfather left Wolf he came here an built a mill by a nearby river. Adam, first of all we’d like to hear something of your life’s history, where your family comes from.įr. Artur: A warm welcome father Adam! We are at father Adam’s family home built by his grandparents, surrounded as we are by nature and all its beauty, birds singing, the trees breathing in the air – Fr.
