Letters from Br. Błażej: Night 321

January 11, 2023

Yesterday morning was quiet. Dramatic fighting in Soledar, in Bahmut, in eastern Ukraine. In central Ukraine is calm. God grant us a just peace.

The Word… In the Gospel today we hear: “My sheep listen to My voice, I know them, and they follow Me.” “They all seek You.” To seek is not to listen. Jesus goes to those who will listen to Him.
“But He said to them: Let us go elsewhere, to the neighboring places, that I may teach there also, because for this I went out.”
Listen and you will love.
God is love.

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

Through Br. Paul, rector of the postnovitiate, more angels have reached us, who have great merit in bringing all kinds of help to Ukrainians and Ukraine. The head of the Foundation, Jacek Dudkiewicz, is a well-known person in the Capuchin world, from the days of DPS (Coronavirus). Let us pray for our Benefactors. (photo)

Jesus is love!
