Listen, when I went, I had a terribly sick child. The boy, who was 14 years old, was already terribly ill. Well, he was just dying.
Doctors in England have been throwing up their hands for seven years and there was absolutely nothing. Well, there was no chance, there was no chance. And the doctors said they locked him up in the hospital and he was actually so dangerous and he had everything.
Well, I saw him with epilepsy, it was just a terrible thing. And I remember those parents, tearfully crying, and when I visited him in the hospital once, I remember I came from Poland, I gave him Polish sweets and a Wedel mixture, as I remember today. And he liked it so much and then he had such a terrible attack and it just broke my heart.
I say, Lord, masses are being celebrated, so what should we do? Well, I pray, I do what I can, no one cares. And at one point I was going to Međugorje for a pilgrimage, well, one of many pilgrimages I'm going.
And it occurred to me and I said, I'll pray for him, I'll pray, I'll just take him with me. And I went to this Međugorje and I'll tell you honestly, everything I did was for him. I probably said two masses every day.
Each rosary, I climbed to the top of the cross, the crumble was probably 45 degrees warm. There was something amazing, a fast about bread and water. I pray this rosary, I cry, I say, do something.
If you are, do something. I say, I don't know how to reach Jesus anymore, because nothing is happening. And before I left, I said, listen, because you have to, because you have to.
. . I went to him, he was in the hospital in the meantime, he actually lived in the hospital.
I say, pray with me as much as you can, he couldn't do much there. Pray, please, pray with me. He even said he would pray, the whole pious family went to church.
Well, that's all. And when I went there and offered everything to God, I said, Lord Jesus, do something. Nothing was happening, nothing was happening.
And I remember, there was an apparition of Our Lady and this apparition took place on May 21, 2004. May 21st and it was a ten o'clock apparition at night, we were there at six o'clock. And I was sitting right next to the cross there and Ivan was about to come, one of the seers.
And I sit and I pray, and I pray, and I pray. I say, Mother of God, there is only one salvation for you. So I sent the text.
I say that at ten o'clock Our Lady comes, at nine o'clock your time. Can you pray? At the same time as Our Lady comes.
I have no other solution. And I have no other idea. I don't know what to do next with all this.
As a priest, I did everything. I had a little picture of him, a school photo. And at ten o'clock Our Lady came.
It became quiet, there were several thousand people there. And if anyone has been in a bad match, they know what it's like. Well, I pray.
And I took out that photo and I'm keeping it there. That's exactly what I keep. I say, Mother of God, if you are here and I don't see you, I don't feel anything, if you are here, then Guzdrów.
I said, I've already done everything I could. All. No one on earth has any ideas anymore.
As a priest, well, that's it. I say take what you want, what's mine, take it. But Guzdrów, come on.
And imagine, ten minutes later, we are walking to the hotel, through these fields, suddenly I receive a text that something has happened. Text after text, all night long. It turned out, then we returned to England, it turned out that he prayed at nine or ten o'clock and lit ten candles.
And he lit these ten candles and they burned. And the family came, the ninth and tenth ones, they were talking about the coming of Our Lady and he said that suddenly an incredible silence enveloped him. Just something that cannot be described.
He said it in childish words. And suddenly he saw that the candles began to go out, one by one, one by one. Not that the wind blew immediately, but hu, hu, hu, hu.
And the next, last candle. And when the last candle went out, he was completely healed. I came back and we didn't know, because he was going to have an attack at any moment.
There were four or five there during the day. A week passed, two weeks passed. He took thirty pills a day.
The poor mother was already howling in pain. She shouted, is there anyone in the world who can help me? I didn't know this the day before I arrived there.
With this prayer proposal. She screamed, that mother's scream. Is there anyone in the world who can help me?
And then we waited until summer. He went to Lourdes. And imagine, there were thousands of Italians there.
You know what Italians look like on pilgrimages, right? This is a fair. And he was still so tiny.
And imagine, he couldn't get into that cave. And at some point the orderly opened the gate and said, come here. And he led this boy into the cave.
It is not known why. From where? And imagine, a year has passed.
He stopped taking these pills. I think he took it for four months before taking these terrible pills, because he gradually takes them off one by one. And on May 21, I went with him to Medjugorje.
You can't imagine what happened there. I didn't have any mass booked. To celebrate there and give this homily, you really need to have booked there for up to a year, as they say in Polish.
And I have nothing. And at one point, Father Kevin, whom I knew, an American, said to me on May 20, listen, wouldn't you like to say mass tomorrow? Some priest messed up and didn't come.
Could you be the main celebrant and say a few words? I almost fell down. I say, well, it's the anniversary of his healing, right?
21th May. And imagine that the church was packed with people and I gave my testimony. It was an English mass and I gave the entire testimony.
And he came to me. You can imagine what happened there, right? And so he embraced me.
Such a little toddler. He couldn't say anything because they wanted to say, say something. He couldn't say a word at all.
And at one point I. . .
Everyone was crying, including me, and I couldn't say Mass later. And then we went to Međugorje, then the boy grew up, experienced various moments, because suddenly from the hospital he discovered the world. Satan tore him terribly, terribly.
What happened there, the fight for his soul, was unthinkable . Anyway, we won the fight. When he was 18, he suddenly says to me, I can't go on like this.
I say what you can't do? Believe? Go to church?
And he says, no. I can no longer run away from the Lord Jesus. I say, what are you talking about?
And he says to me, you know, you know what? He's calling me. I say, you must have gotten lost.
Is he calling you? I say, you're the best DJ, I say, you're on some kind of drugs, we take something out every now and then , from some parties, I say, girl after girl. I say, is he calling you?
I say, what are you. . .
I say, what do you mean? And he says, he called me. I want to go to seminary.
My hands dropped. I say tell that to your father and he 'll get over it right away, right? Out of my head.
And he told all of us. Me and my parents. Three of us, I remember, went to the pub and he told us this.
So we ordered three more ladies to. . .
to celebrate it even more, because it was just. . .
it was just something amazing. I said, listen, I'll help you, but none of us believed it. I'll help you, I say.
Well, I'll give you everything financially, if you want, I'll help you, but it's impossible. And you know that he went to seminary, the first one in England, and after a year he says that he does n't like it here and that he wants to go to the United States. I say, cool, right?
And then, where else? And since we financed his trip to the United States, he went there to join a group he met in Medzugorje and imagine how he persevered. And now, this is the icing on the cake, I'm going to his ordination in a month.
And to surprise you even more, now whoever listened to me, guess the date the bishop set for the ordination. Listen, some non-believer said coincidences. This is it, you can't avoid it.
I'm going to the United States in a month, I'll be there for another month on retreat and then I'm going on May 21. God will give me. I would like to be at his celebration.
I can't imagine it. Humanly. I can't imagine it.
This little toddler, who was somewhere between his legs, whom someone somewhere hugged, saved and generally paid off from all this crap that was happening, and the bishop would lay hands on him. I told him, you know, when you become a priest, I will be the first to go to confession with you. And he told me, and as penance you will get a week with the Italians on one bus.
A week on pilgrimage with the Italians. Will this happen? I don't know.
Anyway, I pray for him and remember him. But I'm just telling you this story today, that these few days will not be wasted. That's all I can do.
I know, God can do anything. Every moment, every minute. He doesn't need anyone.
But how He gave grace to Mary. It gave her everything. And I know this neither from books, nor from treatises, nor from any pious homilies.
I saw it with my own eyes. And then how many greater miracles have already come from your work. What I saw, what Mary did.
But this is one of the biggest ones that changed my life. And I'm sharing it with you today. These are not pious stories.
It happened somewhere, because there are many different healings. And I saw, that's not the point. But the way she did it.
How did she do it? And there against all human logic and thinking. Do you know what the Gospel was?
Like this time we went for the anniversary in 2005. I say, what is the Gospel? I'm asking this priest because I don't know what to focus on in the sermon.
And he says, I don't know. Go read. And when I read the Gospel, and there were words, nothing is impossible for God.
Oh no? You only know because for God. How many of these, I don't remember which Gospel it was, in which it was said that nothing is impossible for God.
