Father Tadeusz taught us in all situation to look for a solution, to decision on. In the face of darkness, storms, uncertainty, he was the 1 who sustained, added a spirit," Fr. Józef Naumowicz said, while celebrating Mass in Armenian order to thank God for the fruitful and long service of the late priest Tadeusz Isakowicz-Zalecki among Armenians and for Armenians in Poland (more than 20 years).
There's a saying in Armenian tradition that if individual has 10% Armenian blood, that's Armenian. Fr Tadeusz had much more, though he slow discovered his Armenian identity. erstwhile he tried to go to Armenian studies in Rome, he was denied a passport 4 times. He didn't leave. But he wrote a paper in Poland about the Lviv Archbishop Isaac Nicholas Isakowicz called “Golden”, whose brother was Father Tadeusz's great-grandfather. By the way, he wrote and spent Dictionary of Armenian priests in Poland. And then he changed his name by adding the first part - Isakovich. He was peculiarly active with the Armenians in 1992, erstwhile the shepherd of Armenians died in Poland, priest Filipiak.
The Armenians came to him to take care of them. He did not know the language, he did not know the liturgy, there was no place to learn in Poland. Slowly, first in Polish and then in 2001, erstwhile 1,700 years of existence were celebrated the first Christian state of Armenia, He went to Armenia and Rome. He gained the basics of Armenian, Armenian liturgy - he began to execute in Krakow, Gliwice. As he wrote, his parish extends from Green Mountain to Przemyśl. And so does for the Foundation, yes and for Armenians he worked as a volunteer, without outside help. And he did it out of love. He was the leader of Armenians, a lover and promoter of their culture, heritage and history.
For the question, What would he do if he had 24 hours to live?, replied (Fr Prof. Józef Naumowicz quoted a fragment of Father Tadeusz's book): I wouldn’t say that to the nearest ones, not to grieve them. I would take my last walk and admire the picturesque wooded hills of Kraków. I love places where I've been living, working and resting for 20 years. I wrote in my will to be buried here. Later I read it again, I wrote it a long time ago (wrote this in 2006). all year on January 6, I read the will again and add something. Then I would have celebrated Mass so that I could go happily from 1 side to the other, before I would have asked the priest to confess me. I am aware of my shortcomings, I would ask God to have mercy. A on I'd go clean up my desk.. I want individual who comes after me to take over all this work didn't gotta start by cleaning-- concluded the sermon of Fr. Prof. Józef Naumowicz. After the Mass, the present people listened to memories related to the work and presence of the late Fr Tadeusz in the Armenian community.
He mentioned Fr Petros Yesayan, parish priest of Armenian-Catholic parish in Moscow:
I was fortunate and honored at the beginning of His activities among the Armenians to be with him and to aid him. I remember Him as a man, a warrior of God. He was not afraid of anything, he was moving forward, continued and was at the station - even at night at the hockey house, set at his initiative at the church of St Nicholas in Krakow in 2004 - They wouldn't destruct him. He fought to have the inscription engraved on the Armenian stone cross dedicated to the victims was the word “genocide”.
He helped everyone, and he lived very, very poor. He had neither time nor money to take care of himself, he was always there for others.
He will be remembered as a remarkable man, zealous, bright, smiling, with a great, open soul. A man of the letter. I'm glad I could be with him. He was a man of extraordinary fascination. He was fascinated by God, but in fact and manThe 1 who needed it. And these were subjects, children - 1000 people he had in all Poland - for whom he lived, for whom he helped, for whom he worked. His full life was for them. Fascination of a weak, sinful man, in whom he could always see the good and draw it out. He sought Armenians at the bazaars, tried to facilitate their stay in Poland, looked for schools in Poland, baptised children to the right and left. He was fascinated by the Church, though he saw in him weaknesses and sins. It wasn't inexpensive fascination. He saw and suffered. He was a man of fascination and mission. (Fr Petros Yesayan)
He wasn't a warrior, he was a warrior. It was directed by the imperative to extract the truth. You couldn't get it without fighting. He felt best erstwhile he was at the Foundation, between his own and he didn't gotta fight. The real planet is with me at the Foundation. – he said tired erstwhile he returned to Radwanowice – 1 I want to be in. due to the fact that my people, erstwhile they're happy to see me, they'll hug me, kiss me... but if they don't like something, they can even push me or hit me. And this planet I come from isn't. (recalled the typical of the Foundation) .
He was the leader of Poles who wanted fact and justice. 1 of them, Stanisław Pruszyński, dedicated the article entitled Treasures and Treasurers of the Church:
I dedicate my article to late Stanislaw Pruszyński, with whom I worked for many years, and who combined in his life the ideals of St. He was an orphan. The parent died at his birth, and the father starved in the Siberian camp. Sam was an invalid accidentally shot by a russian soldier. Exile from his native Volyn, he shared destiny with millions of his countrymen, yet settling in Krakow. He had a strong request to aid others.
His orphan childhood, possibly painful experiences of war, may have influenced this. Without having his own children, he and his wife raised 2 orphans who he thought were his daughters. erstwhile they became independent, he took care of 3 others by establishing his own families. This time, they were mentally impaired 3 young people surviving in an indoor facility. He was for them a beloved “uncle” and at the same time the only individual close to them who visited them and could talk with them kindly. He besides engaged in organizing vacation camps for children with disabilities. He collected food cards, took out coal, carried his wards in his car, and erstwhile needed, he coughed up sleeves and scrubbed floors without saying a word or changing sheets.
Together with his friends, he created a fresh social movement “Towards the civilization of Love” whose main task is to make alleged communities of hope. These communities bring together representatives of different backgrounds, mainly working circles. These communities, according to the presumption of the initiators, have always placed matters of the mediocre and the suffering. This resulted in the formation of the Brother Albert Foundation, The first of these in our country. Her occupation is to aid people with intellectual disabilities. This aid is carried out by 2 tracks. The first is to make Albertin shelters for those with disabilities who have lost their parents or whose parents are no longer able to supply care due to their age and health. The essence of these shelters is conducting educational work based on tiny communities to replace their lost families. (Fr Tadeusz Isakovich Zaleski).
The European Union directive requires the decommissioning and bans the support of specialised centres for the disabled, and the Minister of Education Barbara Nowack is speeding up the implementation of an EU inclusive education task aimed at destroying both the centres for disabled children and children capable of acquiring cognition and competence. Barbara Nowacka, together with representatives of national and ideological minorities, turns the direction “Ku civilization of Love” into the direction “Ku civilization of the Holocaust”. The demolition of the Polish nation and state.
Oh, my God.
