Some of you may have already heard, because I often share the testimony of my friend who studied missiology with me during his Ph. D. , and after his Ph.
D. he decided not to work at the university, even though he was offered a job there, because he was an enlightened, future scientist. He left it all and went to Peru to help evangelize the Indians in practice.
He learned the language quite quickly and went to Peru with such passion and told me about the first Holy Mass he celebrated among the Indians. He was preparing for several weeks before all the tribes gathered there for the Eucharist, it took a long time, he made himself a beautiful altar, a presbytery and when all the tribes were grouped, they gathered for the Eucharist, he was ready to go out and start the Holy Mass. and he sees that Indian women with their sick children, some of them in an agony state, came to the altar and placed their children under the altar.
He didn't know what this custom was, but it was my first Holy Mass among the Indians, I didn't want to make a faux pas, he started the Eucharist and after finishing he watched these women come out and approach the children again, take them in their arms and he looks like this, and these children are all healthy. And with such disbelief he comes closer and says, these children are healthy. And these Indian women call him, yes, father, after all Jesus came.
I know Jesus came, but they are healthy. And these Indian women say, yes, there was a mass. I know there was a mass, but how come they are healthy?
And then these Indian women made eyes like five Polish zlotys. And they say, Father, you don't believe that Jesus came and healed? I say, Dominik, I have been a priest for 20 years, I have a doctorate in theology, I celebrate the Eucharist every day, often several times a day, but my faith is zero compared to the faith of these Indian women.
You understand? We have lost faith in God, so we believe more in man than in God. And like this woman, we will seek help from others, and the one who has the power will be left alone.
My friend, also a well-known evangelizer, was preparing for a retreat during the last Lent. He was supposed to start his retreat on Sunday, but on Friday he became mute. Suddenly he started.
. . he lost his voice completely.
Terrified by this fact, not knowing what to do next, he calls a nun he is friends with, who is a mystic, experiences the Passion of Christ, and has stigmata. And he actually has such a relationship with Jesus that whatever he asks for, he gets it right away, yes. For sacrificing himself, for those he prayed for.
And he calls her and she's wheezing on the phone. You know, I've lost my voice, and on Sunday I'm starting a retreat so you can pray. And there's silence on the other side.
He thought, she's lost her voice too. But then he hears her say yes. He says, Father, you will be celebrating the Eucharist in a moment.
Jesus will penetrate your sick throat, His body, His blood. Where is your faith? He says, I felt ashamed.
I, who preach a retreat on faith, became ashamed. I hung up the phone. I went to my chapel.
I exposed the Blessed Sacrament. And for an hour I prayed and apologized to God for the sin of unbelief. That I just don't believe it.
And I began the Eucharist. And when I received the Lord Jesus, I asked Him to heal my sick throat. But nothing happened.
I finished the Holy Mass. And I go to my room. And suddenly I feel my throat start to burn.
I stopped in awe. And I couldn't even touch it because my throat was so hot. And at some point a scream escaped from my throat.
And instantly, instantly, I regained my speech. Immediately. And he says, I fell to my knees in this corridor.
And I started crying like a baby. You understand? Today, many different topics are discussed in evangelization.
But I want to listen to God, not clever pastoral programs. Even enlightened people and bishops promoted. I want to listen to God first of all.
And you know, what God says to Poles today is shocking. Because you know it well that within a few years two Eucharistic miracles were performed in Poland or in Poland . One in the east in Sokółka, the other in the west in Legnica.
And from what I know, more are being investigated in the north and south. This is amazing. You know, throughout the history of the church, Eucharistic miracles were performed at the moment when the faith of the priests in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and the faith of the people of God in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist were collapsing.
It has never happened that within a few years in any country, God performed two Eucharistic miracles. To multiply this cry for a return to faith in who the one you accept is. This is God's powerful cry for a return to the Eucharist, for a return with all one's heart to faith, in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
In a moment you will accept Him into your body, He will come to you. How will you receive Him? With what faith?
Do you know who received the Lord Jesus most beautifully? Here on earth. Mary.
Therefore, just before Holy Communion, I would like you to ask Mary for her faith in Jesus Eucharist. So that she can put her faith in your heart. It is amazing that when He comes to us in Holy Communion, you must be aware that you are accepting someone who is infinitely sensitive to rejection.
Infinitely sensitive, the one who created sensitivity. Do you remember Sister Faustynia? There was a case where the priest gave her two hosts.
But this one host was supposed to be for a sick sister who was sick in the convent. And Faustynia asks why I received two and that sister did not receive any. And Jesus tells her because she hasn't wanted me with all her heart for some time now.
He doesn't miss me. She doesn't love me anymore. She doesn't wait for me anymore.
I don't want to come to her. I don't want to come to her. Then he said amazing words to Sister Faustynia.
He says that if he sees in the heart of someone who receives Holy Communion, he says this especially in the context of consecrated persons, priests, but this applies to each of us, that there is a rival in the heart. That is, someone you love more than Jesus. Who do you miss more than Jesus.
Who do you want more than Jesus? Jesus tells Sister Faustina I am forced, by the hands of the priest, to come to this heart. But listen to what he says next.
But I immediately leave Him, so that this soul does not even know that I am no longer in it. That I am no longer in it. You must understand His sensitivity.
We talked about it yesterday and on Sunday too. That He wants to be loved with all his heart, with all his strength, with all his soul and with all his strength. And He trembles with longing for You.
But he is so sensitive that when he sees that you don't want him as much as he wants you. That you don't love Him the way He loves you. That he is not the only, most important, most beautiful one whom you love with all your heart, with all your strength, with all your soul and with all your strength.
He'll leave right away. And you won't even know that He is no longer in your heart. And I think that's why there are no miracles in our lives.
And healings, and deliverances, and transformations of our lives. That Jesus does not give the power to transform our lives because He is no longer in our hearts. You understand?
In Holy Communion, when he sees that you accept Him indifferently, without burning love for Him, without longing, without desire for Him, comes and goes!
