My first night in Woodland Park. It is the beginning of a new chapter. So many questions are in my head. I am afraid I will not be able to sleep. But then something comes to me. St. Paul was traveling all the time, opening new groups of Christians. How did he do it? It was a grace from God. This amazing gift from Jesus Christ allowed him to move from place to place and witness the truth with such power. It is a big lesson we have to learn from him. Today I do not see a reason why I am here, but some day God will show me more than just one reason. We very often are afraid to accept the unknown. Satan creates in our head so many fears and doubts trying to discourage us before we even begin to do anything. He is afraid that because of a trust he will lose us and will not be able get us back. Jesus Christ is not afraid. He comes to us the same way as he came to St. Paul. He is offering me today everything that I need to do my work. He comes to you, too. Tomorrow will be a new day, new grace, new blessings. I am looking forward to tomorrow.
It has now been over a month since you arrived to shepherd our parish. Welcome, yet again! I can't even begin to tell you how grateful we are to have you as our pastor. I am sure that for each parishioner there is a reason that God has brought you here. I for one am in awe of God's handiwork in bringing you to our parish.
Missing you, father Marek! It was different and hard to not see you at Mass today.
Welcome!! Looking forward to meeting you & your guidance.

Thank you Fr. Marek for the gift of your spirituality shared with us as you begin your journey at Our Lady of The Woods. I feel the hope and peace of God to start the day and the letting go repose in which to rest at days end. God Bless you and welcome to our parish family. We are Blessed with your presence.
I am so pleased you decided to do this blog! Maybe I won't miss you quite so much. Blessings to you at your new parish. They are lucky to be blessed with you. Let's go to Poland! You know where to find us.
