– We are here to renew the function of man in the Church, and in families as husband and father – says Fr Dominik Chmielewski SDB. In Bydgoszcz, the last nationwide gathering was held in the formation year, during which more than 300 fresh candidates were matched by Mary's Warriors.
Men from different parts of the country and beyond came to the Church of St. Mark, walking first on a walking pilgrimage from the Basilica of the Queen of Martyrs. – There is simply a spirit in the nation – brothers of warriors, families of brothers – we are very happy to see you. – said Fr Piotr Pączkowski SDB at the beginning of Mass, the host of the place and besides the guardian of the full movement.
Salezjanin expressed his gratitude for the presence – as he added – of 1 of the 2 matching bishops in his homeland – of Bishop Krzysztof Włodarczyk. – We are pleased with the priests, the guardians of the communities, of whom fourteen will be fit. It is simply a large joy, but besides a commitment. Nothing ends here, and erstwhile you look at spiritual life, a lot begins. – added Fr Piotr Pączkowski SDB.
The average of the Bydgoszcz diocese, who presided over the Mass, recalled the 1 without which the existence of the movement would not make sense. – I'm glad we can have large moments with the Warriors of Mary. With us is the 1 who continues to approach Jesus and tells us to do everything she tells us. He besides invites us to be satisfied with the food that he himself is for us. We want to go this way to gain God’s Kingdom. But without God's grace he can't do it – said Bishop Włodarczyk.
The bishop expressed his gratitude to the current founder of the Warriors of Mary – Fr Dominic Chmielewski SDB. – We have with us the 1 who has shaped from the beginning this wonderful work, which unfolds for the glory of God, in honor of Our Lady, to the good of the full Church – he said.
After the completed liturgy, more than 300 candidates entered the church solemnly, reading the pledge together. Then each kneeling before the priest laid 1 hand on the Scriptures and the another on the Cross. – Matching means starting – rather seriously – your way with the Lord Jesus and the parent of God. Mary brings to her boy to form each of these men in his image. We are here to renew the function of man in the Church, and in families as husband and father – said Fr Dominik Chmielewski SDB.
He added that the fruit of the formation of the Warrior of Mary is his closest. – When a wife feels loved, happy, fulfilled, that is proof that her husband is effectively forming. erstwhile children feel they are loved by a dad who has time for them, is close and vice versa, it is the most beautiful proof of a healthy, beautiful and effective formation in our movement – added Fr Dominik Chmielewski SDB.
– I can feel the fire in my heart that makes me want to go to Jesus with Mary. This is simply a very crucial day for me. It is my rebirth and the beginning of what I wanted in myself to go to salvation with Mary. And to make amends and praise the Lord God for all he has given me in life – summarized the matching Waldek Draga.
The movement of the Warriors of Mary, even though it only brings men together, besides organizes meetings, prayers for women and families. Another nationwide 1 is planned in Gdańsk. It will take place after vacation.
