Thus, in his words and decisions, 1 can look for holiness that exceeds his era. Can Father George inactive be imitated? Is his era very different from ours?
Where his voice reached, there the communist system, ruled by fear and manipulation, lost influence. So the Communists launched a device of persecution. They started spying on him, bugged the apartment, sent agents to pretend to be friends. An explosive was thrown into the house, he was threatened with death, his car was damaged. He was dumped with illegal material, arrested, defamed in the media. Despite suffering, the priest was not intimidated, and what is more, he gained the rank of moral authority and symbol of freedom in Poland and abroad. The Communists decided to kill him. He repeatedly told his loved ones that he was expecting an assassination effort on his life. He besides said that he was ready for everything and that Christ’s followers should be able to give their lives for the truth.
In the planet of Fr Jerzy Popiełuszko there was a dispute of value. Communism forged history, utilized lies, utilized violence, took people's freedom. The value dispute is inactive ongoing. Freedom without God and without fact is now an attractive caricature of freedom for some. Manipulations bring chaos, divisions, hatred. You inactive gotta overcome fear. In the year 40th anniversary of the martyrdom of blessed priest Jerzy Popiełuszko let us ask God for the gift of fact and freedom in hearts, in Homeland and in the world. Let us besides ask for the canonization of a blessed, humble priest from Podlasie, that his evidence may scope the full world" -]]>We read in the pastoral letter of the Polish Episcopate: Fr Jerzy Popieluszko, Patron of Modern Freedom]]>
