Day 1 Morning: We headed to Niepokalanow, the town and monastery St. Maximillian Kolbe built to honor the Immaculata. There we had mass in the church, visited the museum of Kolbe, saw his cell and the original chapel he built. Lunch on the property. The amazing thing was that we were here in the anniversary of JPII’s visit to the monastery, we had mass in the main church, and Fr Kacper blessed us with relic from St Kolbe!

This afternoon we head back to Warsaw to see museums and the Shrine of Divine Providence, followed by a tour of the old city. Jacob served Mass this morning and it was awesome to witness as a father.

In “Power Made Perfect: Finding True Strength in Christ,” Author John Edwards, "Just a Guy in the Pew" founder and a Holy Rosary Catholic Church parishioner, shares his story of transformation and how he learned what St. Paul the Apostle meant when he said God’s power is “made perfect in weakness.”

How do you stay true to Christ?

I hear this question so often. People are creatures of habit; when things get difficult, it’s easy for us to go back to our bad habits, our addictions, our sins. As the book of Proverbs says, we so often go back to our sins the way a dog goes back to its vomit. What I’ve discovered in my life is that the key to staying faithful to Christ is to understand the gift that He’s given you.

That’s what we’re talking about in this episode. We’ll get into:
🔹The difference between knowing what the gift is and opening it
🔹The complimentary testimonies of the Apostles who lead the way in understanding the gift
🔹Practical steps to persevere in a transformed life

We all know what it’s like to fail. We know that Jesus isn’t content to leave us in our failure. But growth and faithfulness really comes when we let that knowledge move from the head to the heart. St. John says that we only love because God loved us first. The first step to remaining faithful to Christ is also sometimes the hardest: letting it really sink in that you are His beloved son.
