Under this theme, from November 6 to 8, a retreat from the series Mercy in the Bible and the “Diary” of St. Faustina will take place at the Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Kraków-Łagiewniki. The motto is taken from the words of Jesus: Tell sinners that I am always waiting for them, that I listen intently to the beating of their heart, waiting for it to beat for Me (Diary, 1728).
The retreat participants will reflect on the parable of the Merciful Father from the Gospel of St. Luke, which reveals the true image of God and leads to a personal encounter with Him. They will be invited to open their hearts anew to His merciful love, without fear or shame, knowing that He is always waiting for everyone with open arms.
The retreat will be led by Fr. Michał Legan, a Pauline Father, habilitated doctor of pastoral theology, Missionary of Mercy, journalist, columnist, vlogger, head of the Department of Media Theology at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Kraków, and head of the Catholic Programs Department of Polish Television (TVP), together with Sr. M. Eliana Chmielewska of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, who serves on the board of the “Faustinum” Association and is the spiritual advisor to the Kraków “Faustinum” community.
