On the train to Randwick, for WYD Mass
July 20, 2008
Well, those who believe in Jesus could say I am a blessed man
those who don't believe could say I am a lucky man. How do I describe myself? A blessed man! I always count my blessings and believe me I have received a lot of them in my life.
I was born in Poland where I not only grew up but I grew in Catholic Faith as well. There is the place I still call home, not out of nostalgia but because of the people who live there. What I also treasure is that there I heard an invitation from above to follow Jesus as a professed priest.
Home, sweet home
St Peter had his encounter with Jesus at the banks of the Sea of Galilee. I've always wandered how he felt going back to that place after Jesus' Death, Resurrection and Ascension. When I can go back to the old country, when I visit that place where I grew up I can't help thanking the Lord for coming to meet me there and inviting me to go on this exiting journey as an Oblate priest. It took me further then I expected when as a new ordained priest I was appointed to Australia.
For nearly 11 years I worked in different parishes in Victoria, South Australia and NSW. Now my life has taken a different turn as I
am leaving the well known to me Parish Community to train our future priests.
This website is simply my way to stay in touch with all those dear fiends who have become part of my life and who have let me be part of their lives so far and to share with others what is my life: JESUS CHRIST.

Good Friday 2013
Let me share with you a prayer I say at the outset of every day. It was written
by one of my heroes, Blessed Charles de Foucauld. I hope it may help you in your
life journey as it has help me:
Father, I abandon
myself into your hands;
do with me what you will.
Whatever you may
do, I thank you:
I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your
will be done in me,
and in all Your creatures -
I wish no more than this, O Lord.
Into your hands I commend my soul;
I offer it to you with all the love of my heart,
for I love you Lord, and so need to give myself,
to surrender myself into your hands,
without reserve, and with boundless confidence,
For you are my Father.
