Stanislaw Barszczak, Believe in a timely time.
A moment ago I dipped the tongue in a glass of water, probably the essay will be very good (you laugh). I always come back to Poland with sentiment, where my father and my mother sleep, where in the spring cuckoo is singing, because the boy is looking for a miss, looking for a lady, not a hostess and maid. Where I have ponies they remember. Because there too, I’m staring into the girl’s fashionable eyes, and she still doesn’t stop, come a little John, take me … forever, I would sing. And maiden beauty won’t hurt. I then reviews Canaletto’s paintings, because his image of Warsaw from a Prague district, on the other side of the Vistula, is always in my eyes. Today I also see a “exposed tunnel” under the Saxon Palace, the plans of the capital’s officials include its reconstruction in the coming years. However, this palace cannot be seen in the painting by Canaletto (emphasis by the author of the essay). It is true that Canaletto’s free hand painted the panorama of 18th century Warsaw, which is why the Master’s shifts make the capital’s architects dizzy of today… Constructing new skyscrapers in the vicinity of the Old Town, permitions for the new plans, city authorities rely on the so-called “Canaletto’s point”, so as not to violate the symmetry of the panorama of the city once still seen through the eyes of an Italian artist. To paraphrase the “Canaletto point” (from which the master painted 18th-century Warsaw) I would say about contemporary characters in the Roman Catholic Church that bishops now “do not breathe but sigh” (in German seufzen). We have synod in the Vatican for Amazon and its economic and spiritual problems. It is very important now who rules in the Vatican now, but I will say in this way: my goal is not to destabilize the universal church, despite the general perseverance I observe in it, and to take on soft moral positions (Weichenstellungen) etc. After my theological studies in Cracow, I have now switched to a contrast economy, i.e. an intuitive philosophy, I would say. This has been my plan, I think. Whoever does not walk with us is not against us, Saint Matthew taught (Mt 12:30). After the Seminary, you know, I started to walk with God, but also with my own paths. Tom’s freedom in his house. Philosophy allows me to respond to others and myself also to what cannot be understood. And before modern philosophy, a new space of objects and subjects is still opening. Opposite object-pickup entities. It is philosophy, as well as other problems, death penalty, etc. Goethe’s Faust to Mephisto said: first I am free and then slave (in German ich bin frei, dann Knecht). And Saint Paul noticed, I don’t always go after what is good, I choose evil often (in German, Ich will nicht und ich will). I do not want and want at the same time. A new nuncio once said: If I am to look at myself in truth, I do not accept this function, but take it as the one who is willing to do it. I accept because I was called. We must see the transcendental nature of the event. In borderline experiments, in the extreme experience reveals intuitive cognition. Saint Augustine used to say: if you ask, God, I know but I don’t know if you don’t ask me. Twelve-year-old Jesus told his parents: did you not know that I should be in what belonged to my Father in heaven. God is often different, (in German, anders). We need to judge what we know. In my many surprised jumps (meine zahlreiche Uberrachungen) I should put my time given by God constantly, as far as I can (in German, jeder Zeit zu brechen). In this discernment, epistemological cognition may help us as much as “knowledge in se”, and also so-called “knowledge pro nobis”, see theology . In embedding the events of our lives, some moment remains important always. That is why I maintain the medieval distinction of “scientia in se and scientia pro nobis” for what we recognize as what we have seen, what we have adhered to, also one day with the heart. I present to my beloved Reader the faith in right time (in German, Glauben in dürftiger Zeit). And time is indeed timely. Again the Turkish army on the border with Syria. Around the world, people, Extinction Rebellion Activist, are demonstrating against climate change, thus spreading the budget of individual countries for climate, and asking who has the final mandate. In Poland alone we have a big problem now. We look horizontally often, and we need to look vertically at our world, see the majesty of God. In churches in October, we pray especially to the holy Mary, mother of God Jesus. It is a meeting of the miracle of heaven with the miracle of earth. Jesus always gives me the grace to complete the new day by the end. Jesus is so merciful in my eyes. We will do “wonderful work” for the salvation of man through prayer. This is a giant weapon against evil’s powers. In October, we are praying for a better world, holding a rosary, if only a metal one. What strength comes from this prayer, a powerful. It’s like you only existed in the world for Jesus and for the whole world, as if you were the most important and so on. I would not like to say that after 33 years of searching for a field of Christ’s priesthood, I am completely exhausted, washed out. No matter. For I set Christ for a moment, at this moment Jesus turned to Mary Magdalene, and she told “Rabbuni,” that is, you are the teacher. This turn (in German, Wende), Jesus’ turn to Mary very important in my life. What brightness prevailed in the garden with the grave of Christ from this moment. Because Jesus truly worried about you. So our experience should not come from intellect only, in fact from life, but above all from listening and understanding. Read the time signs (kairos). Do not understand life for the sly! Living the gospel intuition is the task of future Christians. I will never forget these earthly days when Sister Nazareth told me sad news of my mother’s death. The greatest silence reigned around me (in German God ist da und nicht da). God is in everything that happens to us. One mother during the occupation of the II World War, who was with her son in the basement, said to him: “Dein Wille geschehe …” These were her last words. God, let your will be done … Kenosis is important, the attitude of humiliating oneself in a good meaning. Kenosis as the only place of longing, fulfilled longing (in German, Ort der Sehnsucht). I was often hit by people caring for loved ones in their graves (in German, ich bin erschutert). Let’s think about this wonderful place, where Jesus was buried, his grave. The guides admire in Jerusalem stones from the Christ’s time, but this is the place of the resurrection of Jesus (Auferstehung Ort). Let us sum up what I just said. Is this not the attitude of longing for the resurrection! At this point I will say something else. I understand the church in the modern world, and this is not for greed (in German, verstehen nicht zu Rache), some revenge on my part for the lack of daily grace – to take revenge on the church procession behind the flashes of the world. I am doing this to build church again and again. Saint Francis once heard the God’s words: ” rebuild my church “. And I would like to do it too … at a time when God’s environment is not the environment of Good Friday, but the environment of” prose life “(Epikumgebung). I speak to you deeply, my dear readers, not so much from my thorough knowledge of the church, as it is based on my Christian weakness. Because I do not follow what is good, because I see what is good and I follow what is bad. Saint Paul said: power in weakness is improving. When I’m weak, I’m strong. And this is also Christian joy … And again we have to part, but not for long, I tell you. Because it is in deep conversations with hard- hiting issues and sensitive authorities at the top, we need to follow us people on the path to the Kingdom of God. Despite enormous poverty and progressing disproportions, as well as generational divergence. This is the last and most beautiful event horizon of our era which I intended to show to my readers for a long time and in my future. And with God’s help, I would like me to finally embark on my next plans with recent success. Let’s not forget to pray for each other. Non dimenticate pregare per me. And a bientot.
