Compassion in the sense of sharing in the problems of neighbour turns out to be the best way to the human soul

Speaking of the Albertian idea, it is worth stopping at the notion of “the homeless”. In a strict sense, it concerns those who do not have their own homes and are wandering the streets. Although in our country the state authorities in 1950 liquidated all homeless shelters, considering the problem as non-existent, but it is adequate to go to a railway station in a large city in the evening to see that life shows something different. There are no statistics, but the homeless in Poland must be counted at tens of thousands.

It is sad that the authoritative propaganda to this day is incapable to "absorb" this fact, diverting social attention from the homeless. The top of the lie was, for example, the run to collect sleeping bags for homeless people in fresh York City, erstwhile at the same time all fewer days a individual was dying in Kraków canals or in redwoods in Warsaw Prague - Fr Tadeusz Isakowicz - Zaleski wrote many years ago about the disgusting propaganda of Jerzy Urban in the war state, which assured, among others, that in Poland lives better than in the USA.

Since the beginning of November 42 people died from cooling - informed the Chief Police in Łódź on Tuesday. Homeless and deprived of adequate housing heating. Out of poverty. inactive not only deficiency of poorness and homelessness statistic and authoritative propaganda distracts the public from the case of homeless and mediocre Poles. Is it not a lie to aid Ukraine, faced with billions embezzled by Ukrainian millionaires and members of the government?

In a broad sense, homeless people are besides those who have a home and an identity card but do not have a place in society or even in their own families. This applies primarily to mentally ill, alcoholics, repeaters returning after many years of imprisonment, single mothers, orphans from the orphanage, senile old men abandoned by their children and many, many others. For a good cause, a homeless individual can be considered to be lonely, abandoned, and unhappy. And each of them, according to Brother Albert's idea, has the right to love and aid on our part. For they are all actual treasures of the Church! – wrote Fr Tadeusz Isakowicz Zaleski.

Compassion in the sense of sharing in the problems of neighbour turns out to be the best way to the human soul. "Cry, weep with the weeping" - says the words of the Italian spiritual song - "Enjoy, rejoice with the glad." Material help, erstwhile not backed by natural kindness and goodness of the heart, becomes only philanthropy. He can even hurt and push distant the talented one. Giving is simply a large art...

Again, let me usage the evidence of life, this time the late Joseph Sawa, 1 of the large “treasurers of the Church.” He came from a simple agrarian family. In postwar times, like many of his peers, he went in search of work to the building fresh Huta.

He worked very hard in the Metallurgic Complex. It was a time erstwhile this forming territory of Krakow was expected to become a model socialist society, i.e. a society without God. However, the will of the people surviving there was different.

When authoritative politics changed after October 1956, the first fresh York temple was erected. However, the political course changed again and the territory authorities decided to close the construction site. In April 1960, workers for 3 days defended against the militia of the wooden cross. Among the defenders was Joseph Sawa. He was sentenced to a year and a half in prison.

These experiences earned him respect and knowing of human poverty. In addition, a large cult of the sign of the Holy Cross awakened in it. erstwhile the time of "Solidarity" came, he was 1 of the first to hang a cross on a mill wall. He hanged and surrounded him with large reverence. For this reason, he even gained the name “The Cross of the Cross” in his work. In the state of war after the suppressed strike, he raised the cross from the workplace and hid it in his own home. At the time, he tried very hard to aid others. As a typical of the union structures, he visited the needy, especially the families of his deceased colleagues. He died in 1987, but his memory survived among the working brothers.

He besides survived his cross, which during the May strike in 1988 was again suspended at an old site in a mill hall. Before this cross I celebrated Mass for the strikers, and for all of us there this cross was a sign of hope and perseverance. It's inactive there. (p. Tadeusz Isakovich Zaleski)

They are inactive fighting the cross and its defenders. alternatively of George Urban, they have technology and media fed by trained social engineers, whom we succumb to forgetting our own knowing and will.
