“Current in Silence” – Pauline Young Days

A three-day gathering of organizers and participants of this year's Pauline Youth Days (PDM) was held under this slogan at Jasna Góra. It has been attended by about 250 people from different communities, where “white monks” serve.

It was besides a time of spiritual preparation for the most crucial spiritual initiatives addressed to young people, including the July reunion in Biechów, which will take the form of a camping camp combining retreat and recreation.

The intent of the PDM is primarily evangelization, integration of work with young people in the ministry conducted by the Paulines, establishing a bond between young people who want to draw on the spirituality of the Pauline.

Father Tadeusz Iwaszczyszyn of the Pauline Association of Youth Days and the vocation mention of the Order of Paulins is glad that the subject “out” from young people was invented by volunteers associated with the PDM. In his opinion, it reflects what young people have in their hearts – a desire for silence.

– This may seem somewhat paradoxical, due to the fact that what seems to be most affecting young people present is loneliness. And yet there's no silence they need. It's about the silence of the heart. So we want to come to Mary and give her these young people, so that in this silence of the heart there will be a space for the word of God," said the friar.

As part of the Jasna Góra PDM, young people prayed, experienced the joy of the Gospel in the community, learned about the Jasna Góra sanctuary and the spirituality of “white monks”. There was besides time for the performance performed by Theatre A. During the night vigil, youths could besides meditate on forgiveness.

Our Lady's care was besides entrusted with specified works of the Pauline Youth Hall as: the Pauline Liturgic Altar Service Tournament in football, the July convention in Biechow, PDMextra, that is, the gathering at the Kraków Rock, where the Pauline monastery and seminar are located, music workshops, student retreats and the Jasna Góra volunteer gathering in December.
