I had a fun two-part movie night with some friends as we watched Karol: A Man who Became Pope (I recommend this film as a way to experience the suffering and tragedy of the early life of Karol before he became the beloved Blessed -soon to be Saint- John Paul II and the hope that comes out of that despair, but warning that the movie does contain graphic violence with blood and weapons, and has a very long running time.)
Nonetheless, both nights were Polish and Pope-themed by our gracious hosts. Their home was transformed to include a table display with Blessed JPII's image on a table, candles, and various images hung around. One night, they even prepared a delish home-cooked Polish dinner. The best part: appropriate snacks courtesy of a fun blog that we recently discovered.
May your staff meetings, parish or school gatherings, and various liturgical celebrations (except for the Mass, of course) never be the same again after checking out this neat site!
Jesus tells a Samaritan woman that all who worship God must worship Him “in Spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) My hope is that, through my personal reflections and experiences on the public work or service of the people, many may not only worship, but also come to know Him in Spirit and Truth.
