B.Ratter: 1917 was the first fire trial of characters and souls. Anarchy and Bolshevism trailed him

In the side pocket, a letter to Kozielsk. It's an illegible name. A book for the service. Wallet. Doctor Wodziński opens ..photography.. a woman, bright, with large eyes, blonde, with a baby on her hand. That's his wife and daughter. He went to the grave with them. The bullet is inactive sitting in his skull, which happens rarely- her witness Józef Mackiewicz writes about the exhumation in Katyń.

In the evenings, we listened to Bible stories in the book Bible History, which our parent read to us, and erstwhile I learned to read, I then replaced my parent and the remainder of my siblings with reading, and my mother, while listening, took care of household matters. I knew my father by heart. Where I was born and grew, the full village was Catholic - explains Bishop Jan Purwiński in Żytomierz.

And here, erstwhile there were no catechisms, they prescribed catechisms and prayer books at once. Even Pope John Paul II as a gift and thank you I brought a handwritten prayer book - explains Bishop Jan Purwiński serving in Żytomierz. All people copied by hand on paper, due to the fact that the device to compose was to REGIST IN MILITIA. (IPN Bulletin 2021)

I have an old 1887 book from my grandmother," explains the Chechnya female on Podol. How it happened that Poles from far border lands know so well not only prayers, but besides all Polish songs unknown today, that they sing a fewer verses, about which we in Poland have no thought – the author of kapucin in Starokonstantynów asks. (Teresa Siedlak Kołyszko, Were, Are, Will?)

Because there was specified a arrangement of these old 19th-century books for the service, in which there were many different songs, and besides, people would gather in the evening and sing. I have specified a parishioner present besides an aged individual whose parent in the 1930s as most Poles here were transported to Kazakhstan.

As a small girl, she was alone. Her aunt took her in. parent taught her only Our Father and Hail Mary before leaving. Imagine that thanks to these 2 prayers she learned to read Polish. Mom left her a book, but she inactive couldn't put the letters together. Aunt showed her “See here you have Our Father and she slow began to guess which letters mean. Now she reads rather well due to the fact that she always spoke beautiful Polish. This is touching, that was the desire, the hunger of God and the Polish word.

Everything was forbidden in russian Ukraine. Here, due to the fact that the priest tried to talk to young people, to meet them, to do something, he could at any minute be thrown out and lose his “do” – approval to execute priestly duties in the parish. In this way, a group of people arose who sent spiritual books to Moscow on all occasion.

Sometimes they were musicians from the Poznań Opera, who carried banned literature in their cases. 1 of the larger transports was arranged thanks to a physicist who began his internship at the Institute of atomic in Dubne close Moscow. Transporting his individual belongings became an chance to pass on many Masses and Bibles. The books were sent or transported to parishes in Belarus, Lithuania and Ukraine. They were received, among others, by Fr Kazimierz Świątek, later cardinal and metropolitan Minsk. (IPN Bulletin 2021)

This year has 2 virtues: extraordinary morality and Polish spirit. The year 1917 - the year of the revolution, erstwhile under the force of a raging storm, all human and God's laws seemed to break, was the first fiery test of characters and souls. Anarchy and Bolshevism followed him. Thus, during these 3 degenerative years, among the six 1000 Poles, belonging to the BARK PARAFIA, erstwhile only 1 illegitimate kid was baptized and erstwhile a Polish girl married a Bolshevik.

When the Ukrainians, after them, kept statistic of the full population - no 1 was able to force the Mazurians, even speaking Russian, to impersonate the Russians. The Halicans and the peeers could not do so either, due to the fact that they wanted nothing to do with the performances. And they were influenced by promises of land, honors, honors. Even the Unity clergy, who, together with the Halichans, came to “fix” services in Podolski churches, had to yet admit their powerlessness in this regard.

And he did not rob the Polish people. He did not (with small exceptions) participate in these natural orgies, erstwhile through the hooves and smokes of fires a brazen challenge was cast: WE FIRE! WE CREAVE! AND WE DIE GOOD! And since there was specified a unique horror and outrage over the remainder of the parishioners, the fact that in 1 of the parishes of the village in Barcelona, the disillusioned people followed the crowd of destroyers into the court and from there among the general madness for themselves took any things - it was the Prince of Tokarevski, the PROCEEDING IN THE PROCEEDING PROGRAPH OF THE CHURCH. (Maria Dunin Kozicka Year 1917 Historical novel)

Oh, my God.
