A silent death. For whom did Fr Tadeusz Isakowicz-Zaleski prove besides uncomfortable?

pch24.pl 1 year ago

With large regret, many communities accepted the news of the death of a steadfast priest, a large patriot, a man devoted to the Lord God and his homeland. There was no shortage of memories and assurances about prayer. There were, however, places where death was kept quiet. Add – rather amazing places.

It should be noted with sadness that the death of the priest – and already 24 hours after the transmission of this information in the media – did not give the service of the Archdiocese of Krakow, in which Fr Tadeusz served. And we're not talking about an exposed place anymore. On the page of diocese.pl there is simply a small visible column of MEMENTO, dedicated to the dead priests and their loved ones who left this world. Even there, the memory of the deceased is vain.

It should be noted that the voice – on its own initiative – was taken by Fr Damian Muskus, the auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Krakow, mentioning Fr Tadeusz (text of memory for albert.krakow.pl):

"I called back. I didn't.

People discriminated and hurt could always number on being their voice. Reading the hard pages of the past of the Church and the fact seekers had an ally in it. And a full bunch of mediocre and disabled treated him like a father.

It happened that he made judgments besides quickly, possibly even sometimes he erred in his passion of reaching the truth, but all this did not convey the most crucial – he was a man of large heart. Besides, he could not respond otherwise to the evil and hypocrisy that is happening, as he would become on the side of the weaker. He did not calculate whether he would exposure himself, whether individual would avenge him, whether he would express his discontent or effort to harm him. As shortly as the signals about the harm suffered reached him, it acted immediately.

So he spoke erstwhile others “diplomatically” were silent. He was where the others preferred not to look. He did not accept indifference or sweeping problems under the carpet. individual comfort or holy tranquillity came to the fore erstwhile there was a man in need.

I am touched to think of this little media face of Fr Tadeusz. About a man who lived among people with disabilities and became to them a father and brother, as equal between the equal, with simplicity and in actual Franciscan poverty. About how that warrior took off his armor and smiled gently. About Radovovice, which has made them home to the weakest. About the power of his love, which brought out of them delightful talents and helped regain dignity. About the joy of the penetrating wall run by his shelter foundation. A warm hospitality that I have experienced many times from him and his radvanovian home friends.

I tried to contact him yesterday. No success. Father Tadeusz is silent and we will never hear his voice again. But the earthly “never” became the heavenly “always” for him today. I believe profoundly that he met his friends there: St Francis of Assisi, with St Brother Albert, with Cardinal Francis, who was his ally and godfather of his works.

What about us? Well, I hope we can last the yearly Albertian and present St. Brother Albert medals. Not without him, but with his full spiritual presence.”

His Excellency Bishop Damian A. Muskus

But the diocesan service is not the only place where memories of the death of an unbreakable Krakow priest were missing. For example, you can find specified information in net releases and social media tv Trwam. Similarly, the substance on the net was silenced by Radio Maryja, who had just recorded death... Franz Beckenbauer.

Priest Tadeusz – we remember in prayer and thank you!

Almighty God,

You called the priests into your service and made them shepherds of our souls. I urge to you humbly the deceased priest, Fr Tadeusz Isakowicz-Zaleski, who, by your grace, led to you many faithful.
Hear my prayer and give him happiness in Heaven with the Apostles.

Amen.
