Let us not allow anyone to mock at Poles!

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

We were looking forward to the MAK report concerning the investigation of the Smolensk plane crash, the biggest crash of the several dozen years, the biggest one in the history of our Homeland. »

1 May 2011. Beatification of John Paul II

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

The publication of this issue of ‘Niedziela’ coincided with the news that the day of the awaited beatification of the Servant of God John Paul II would be Divine Mercy Sunday falling on 1 May 2011. »

Mother of God and of the human family

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, gathers us before the Mother of Jesus. It was her that brought the Messiah-Saviour to mankind; it was her that introduces us into his world, filled with God’s love and love of man. »

The most important wishes

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

In some interview I made with one of the bishops many years ago my interlocutor spoke about the Polish piety that had the character of the Lord’s Passion. Poles love crosses, Calvary routes, places resembling Jerusalem and the Passion of Lord Jesus. »

The experience of Gomulin

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

I would like to share with our Readers my experiences from a visit to the parish of Gomulin in the Diocese of Lodz. I have already mentioned this parish, which is unique in the Polish Catholic press market, namely every week ca. 370 copies of ‘Niedziela’ are distributed among ca. 2,000 parishioners in Gomulin. »

Passing judgement on the Church?

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

In some interview I made with one of the bishops many years ago my interlocutor spoke about the Polish piety that had the character of the Lord’s Passion. Poles love crosses, Calvary routes, places resembling Jerusalem and the Passion of Lord Jesus. »

God is

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

There were very shocking words: ‘There is no God’ on the cover of some weekly. There was also an article of some physicist who wrote it as a great authority, naturally a non-believer, claiming in the name of science that the world and life were created self-righting, taking into account the laws of physics, e.g. gravity. »

Remembrance

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

We are shocked. Suddenly, some guards appeared outside the Presidential Palace and carried the cross to the chapel in the Palace. Apparently nothing wrong happened because the cross was not desecrated. »

Monument to President Kaczynski

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

‘No poetry will be written about such presidents as Walesa, Kwasniewski or Komorowski but we are witnessing poetry and community songs about Lech Kaczynski’, Archbishop Slawoj Leszek Glodz said at Jasna Gora on 26 August 2010. »

At the threshold of the new school year 2010/11

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

Another school year has begun. It brings extremely many old problems, which almost every Polish family struggles with. These include buying school textbooks and accessories as well as clothes. »

An Incident or a struggle for fundamental matters?

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

I want to refer to the events that took place in front of the Presidential Palace on 3 August 2010, events described as an incident when crowds were convinced that the cross should not be removed from that place. »

The banished cross

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

Throughout their difficult history Poles have understood well what the sign of the cross is. The cross has been appreciated, loved and worshipped so much. By nature we are sincere and open and that’s why in our Homeland the cross is in all honourable places. »

Could the Gospel be split?

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

Sometimes people ask me what my favourite time for work is. I answer that the best time for me is ca. 3.30 a.m. because then you can order your thoughts and without any disturbing phone calls you can record them. »

Polonia vs. Homeland’s matters

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

Polonia should be cared for. The example of that is the American Polonia, especially the Polish immigrants in Chicago, practically from the beginning being under the care of the Polish Church, which has maintained faith, culture and Polish traditions. »

The Church and elections

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ

The presidential election is over and now we have many reflections and questions concerning it. We also look closer at some groups of the Polish society. We can see some Poles who did not vote and who as if did not care about it. »
