Letter from Br. Błażej: Night 226

October 8, 2022

Deo gratias! We are alive. God has given us another day. We survived the night.

Something is happening on the Crimean Bridge!!! (photo)

The Word… Truth about us: “For all of you who have been baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves in Christ.” To what dignity have I been called. Since Baptism I am great—I am a Christian into whom Jesus has clothed himself. “Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it faithfully.” Let us begin again, from listening to love.

God is love! God loves you!

We live in a war, we do not live by war.
