Poland

This week marked two milestones. Eighty years ago, on Jan. 27, 1945, Allied troops entered the Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz, Poland, and liberated the prisoners. And 98 years ago, on Jan. 27, 1927, Blessed George Matulaitis, the Renovator of the Congregation of Marian Fathers, died. His episcopal motto, “Overcome evil with good,” resonates.

Poland is the ideal land for learning the art of pilgrimage, says Stephen J. Binz, author of the award-winning book from Marian Press, The Way of Mercy: Pilgrimage in Catholic Poland.

DON'T MISS this new feature film, the story of Blessed Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński (1901-1981), the heroic Primate of Poland who joined forces with his friend and ally, the future Pope St. John Paul II, to defend the Catholic faith and liberate his country from communist rule.

When they saw the emergency, the Eucharistic Apostles of The Divine Mercy and the Healthcare Professionals for Divine Mercy leapt into action.

Where Our Lady goes, there God triumphs.
