From June 5, 100 days remain before the beatification of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, Primate of Poland, and of Mother Róża Czecka scheduled for September 12. To prepare for the celebration of this event, various initiatives are used.
“I encourage you to share quotes from the speeches of Cardinal Wyszyński and Mother Czacka, your thoughts on them, and the various initiatives on social media. Anyone can be involved in the initiative by posting written, short videos or photos on social media. this with #Beatyfikacja to combine all these contents “, said Michalina Jankowska, director of the Institute of Primate Card Stefan Wyszyński.
Michalina Jankowska has listed examples of activities commemorating the person of Primate:
“The Association of Schools named after the Primate has organized a competition on the ABC of the Social Crusade of Love. Other schools have adopted similar initiatives. We, as the Primate’s Institute, have managed a competition for elementary school children. The Foundation ” Czas to Miłość ” (Time is Love) has prepared readings dedicated to the Primate, presented, among other things in churches. The website prymaswyszynski.pl – a work of the Warsaw Curia – was founded more than a year ago On our site wyszynskiprymas.pl we have expanded the photo gallery, audio files with the voice of the Primate, a database presenting his teaching and testimonies of people who met the Primate or who live off his legacy. There is also the pastoral care of the Family of Families, which operates throughout Warsaw. In the Cathedral of St. John in Warsaw on the 28th of each month, a mass was held with a conference. Each month there was a different topic from the Primate’s teaching. Articles by Ewa Czaczkowska appeared every week in the ” Gościu Niedzielnym ” magazine. It is also worth mentioning the parlor game on the Primate developed by Messrs Kreczki and the book ‘Stefek’ by Piotr Kordyasz. These are, of course, just examples “- said Michalina Jankowska.
The Director of the Primate’s Institute recalled that the Institute receives many reports from parishes looking for traces of the Primate’s presence in their churches. They ask for recordings and homilies which, if they exist, are made available to them.
In preparation for the beatification ceremony, the Polish information portal abroad, the social network PolskiFR.fr, initiator of the #Beatyfikacja project, was added. During 100 days, different materials will be published on the portal and on social media. The hypothesized initiative gives the authors a lot of freedom in the preparation of the contents: it can be a comment on a fragment of the teaching of the Primate and a message of Mother Czacka, one’s memories linked to future blessed, an encouragement to read a book or a film about the Primate or the Mother, etc.
